TQ- LIVE LONG YOU MUST BE AN OPTIMIST Chauncey Depew, who might be fittingy called ‘‘America’s grand old man,” ha.s recently given voice to this'piece of wisdom: “Give me five minutes talk with a man about politics or weather or neighbors or finances, and I’ll tell you whether he’s going to reach ninety-five in good shape or not. If he says he has the finest neighbors in the world and adds that times have never been better or politics cleaner or the weather finer, then you may be pretty sure that he’ll be a winner at ninety-five or any other age. No matter how you live there isn’t time to worry.” M ATTHEW 9-HOSCH.

PRESENT CHURCH DISPUTE LAIR TO IDLE PASTORS Atlanta, Ga.—Six thousand dele gates to the Southern Baptist con vention, assembled at an opening laymen’s meeting in th” Auditorium Tuesday night, heard nationally prominent speakers fly the fan dementalist-modernist controversy and urge entry of the United States to the league of nations in order that she may participate in an inter national eombine to 1 control eonimer. cial, spiritual and political world progress. The convention also adopted a resolution addressed to the judiciary committee of the house to adverse all bills to increase the legal alcohol ic content and to aid in strengthen ing, instead of weakening the nation al prohibition law. , The fundamentalist-modernist con troversy which has torn the denomi nations of the north came in for se vere excoriation in the oratoiy of Dr. Douglas Freemhn, editor of the Richmond, Va., who was frequently and (vociferously ap plauded for his causjtic and pungent comments. , Senator Walter F. George, of Georgia, in hi 3 address to the lay men, asserted that, it is the Christian duty of the United States to take part in the league of nations without delay, not only for the help it could give the other nations of the world, but for its own preservation. Senator George drTw a picture of the league a 3 a combine of Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Day and Belgium to control the commercial spiritual and political progress of the world, and pointed out where he said the United States would be the sufferer from the Combine unless she were part and parco of the league. Senator- Ggdige stated that the league is the Only spirit of progress in Europe at present and must live, because the rest of the continent now is in a spirit of retrogression. "There is no fumlypentalist-mod erfiist row ffwwrng the Southern Bap tists,” declared Dr. reeman, “and the first man who starts any kind of ‘ism’ ought to be run north of the Potomac river and made to stay there. I believe, as someone has said, that fundamentalism ‘is believing in the credibility of Judges and the edi. bility of Jonah.’ “All of these fads, foibles and fancies are the works of idle preach ers, If they will preach the Gospel, there will be no fundamentalist-mod ernist row anywhere.” R.

A COWET \ COUNTY FARMER’S I XPKR I NCE WITH PEANUTS While down at Newnan, G.<t., a gen tleman who has a good farm out three miles northeast of Newnan told as this interesting bit of esperienc which he had in 1922. As the boll weevil had made cotton growing s’.vh a hagirdoui undertaking ho decide'" to make a change in his mono;,’ crop and try peanuts. He went to the bank where he had been dealing, a id *old the cashier that he wanted tr borrow SISOO, with which to mak this crop in 1922. The cashier asked bim what di</ he expect to grow f’ith which to repav the He tele him peanuts. The cashier said this looked too much like a “pin-hook business.'’ Our friend to! 1 the bank er he could do as he pleased, but be was not going to fisk cotton. So the cashier told him to c me back the next day, as he would put the propo rtion before hi* I'an committee. After mu h discussion the committee decided to make the loan, chiefly re .'ying upon the farmer’s .standing and reliability. So the peanuts w-ro olanted, no guano being used, as the farmer wanted to keep expenses as low as possible. In the fall the peanuts were gath ered and sold to the oil mill. The oil mill furnished this farmer S6O» worth of seed and purchased a peanut pick er for him at a cost of $1,200. After hauling in his crop he told the man ager of the oil mill to take out pay for the seed and machine, SI,BOO, and give him a check for the balance. When this check was handed hint, it was for the amount of $2,490. When he carried this up to the banker he looked at it with surprise and said: “This is not such a pin-hook business after ail.” So peanuts go a long way in supplementing the cotton crop as i a cash crop.—Southern Cultivator. ISSUED EVERY MONDAY and THURSDAY SOUTH AMERICA COOH MARKET FOR 0. S. GOODS * ,JL It Opens Lp a Rroad Field for the United Sill Sep Since the W..r I’vt an End to European Trnd'i.-r iim-. Atlanta, Gn„ May 12.—That Cen tral and South America is now at* r.ntti.g enn-rican money wa.t p .i.chd out here today by Atlanta business men. many of whom are matting ar* rangements to do business with the Latin-A merit i r countries. Latin-America is the logical mar-- ket for American business Ss well as rich field for investment, it was stated. It is a field that was neg lected by business men and financiers for many years; it is claimed, due chiefly to the always unsettled condi tions prevailing in many Central and South American republics. Despite revolutions and frequent overthrow of existing governments, it was asserted, F.uropean business found Central and South America fine fields for bdsiness and until the World war put an end to European trading, Germany, England and France con trolled the Latin-American market. 1 and flnanei: l investments by Euro peans were muen heavier than those of Americans. Conditions arc much more settled now in most of the Central and South American countries than for many years, Atlanta business men say. With but few exceptions, it is claimed, Lnt in-American countries now are free of revolutionary activities and business is proceeding in many of them with out interruption. The people of the United States, with four b'llion of dollars already nvssted in Latin-American countries, it is stated, have a vital interest in .he progress of those countrie®. The southern states, through the south eastern ports, are now expected to -■hare largely in Central American business. “Go South” Is Advice He Gives, "it’s great to be a part of the south land, to belong to a part of the coun try which is fast coming into its own, which is te-nruiug with possibilities. No more dd We hear the cry of ‘Go West, Young Man.’ ft is now ‘Go South.’ Do we, each in our own little corner, get the bigger ci»ion of a Greater South or are we too close to prosperity to recognize ft ?•’ The foregoing statement was made by C W. McClure, Atlanta merchant and financier and the head of a chain f 10 cent stores bearing his n4fne, Ur McClure is not a southerner by tilth, but an Ohian. He was bocu in a loer cabin and the story of his life, 'From Log Cabin to Capitalist,” on tj ‘b ‘ subject of a magazine article, -ends like a thriller from a book of let: r,. j» {•, nevertheless true 'hat he A tanta man is “self-made,” ws* i -iio’ ier in th - * 10 cent store business iv Atlanta and owes his success so having cast his fortune on Dixie soil. Mr. McClure is not only a big mer chant and a successful financier, but he i a civic and political leader of im portance, being identified with all big mcicments which have for their ob ject the welfare and progress of At nf.s. Georgia and the south. He is •or -ignized as the original Ford-for- W”s'>!e-?hoa)s advocate in the south and now that the flivver king s tands a giO i chance of getting the big gov •rnrnent plant in Alabama, Mr. Mc- Clure sees as a result untold commei ■inl and industrial development in the whole southeast. Railways Reflect Prosperity. Railway systems in the south re flect prevailing southern prosperity in the improvements they are making in their equipment, in extension and in service, according to reporrs teceived in Atlanta railroad circles. Railways only prosper when the -action-! they serve prosper, as point ed out by railway executives in At lanta, therefore, the fine showing* made bv the rail systems serving the eutn, is is claimed, are proof of the üb-uanti ’l business prosperity that has come upon the whole south. Presidential years have not proved poor years from the standpoint of railway traffic volume, it was pointed out in Atlanta, fn fact, it is stated, they have usually proved to be rec ord-breaking years. The statistics, made public in At lanta, show that in every presiden tial year that has occurred since 1890, with the single exception of 1908, the railways were called upon to move more revenue ton-miles than thdy had moved in any year op to that time. This was the case in 1910; it was the case in 1920. The fiscal years lfoß and 1909 of fer the only exceptions in the entire thirty-year period, it was stated.
