OUR CENTENARY
_
The time has come when
Methodist who have pledged money
to the Centenary should pay it.
conference year will soon come
a close, and we want to enter a new
year with a clean record. We may
fail possibly in meeting some of our
obligations to men, but first of all,
should come this obligation we have
made to God.
In some respects, our town has met
financial reverses, and we are won¬
dering how we are going to tide
over until another peach crop, but I
firmly believe our chances of suc¬
cess along all lines of endeavor
will be better if we meet first our
obligation to God.
At the great drive, we all remem¬
ber the beautiful service at which
this money was pledged, and the
beautiful spirit in which it was given.
In this same spirit we should meet
this obligation at any sacrifice.
God has wonderfully blessed us as
a people, despite the fact, that many
of us think we are having a .hard
time. In Fort Valley, if we' will
count our blessings we will find
that they far out-weigh our ills, and
some times it takes these reverses
and troubles to make us realize just
how good God has been to us in the
past.
No other country on the map is
as blessed as we are. England,
France, Italy, Germany and other
countries are war-torn; Russia is
staggering under Bolshevism, and the
other great nations all have their
own perplexing f i- ^ problems. Some are
heathen countries groping their way

aims to penetrate the darkest com¬
ers of the earth with the light of the
Gospel.
When the committee conies to you
for your Centenary pledge, thank
God for the privilege of having a
little part in helping to send the
Gospel to every creature, and give
them the money at any sacrifice. It
will be blessing to you if you will
give it in the spirit in which it was
pledged, and a curse if you do not.
Christ’s last command to his dis¬
ciples was: “Go ye into all the world
and preach the Gospel to every
creature.” We cannot all go, but we
should be glad of the opportunity to
help send those who can give it to
those who know Him not.

VETERANS AGAIN ON MARCH
More Feeble Of Veterans Providee
j With Automobiles In Parade
| Through Houston Streets
Houston, Texas. The soldiers ol
j the Confederacy have marched their one* thiv
again, the final event of
Jtielli annual reunion, held here.
There were not the countless thou
]sands who tramped buoyantly to hat
(tie more than half a century ago, but
(enough to make an imposing column
'Imposing despite the grayed hair anu
, 1 .stooped shoulders of the marchers

As the lines were forming one griz
jzled veteran remarked to another:
"Well, we’re not all dead yet.”
“No; there’s almost enough of ui
[left, to whip the Germans,” came the
(retort.
And they feel that way.
Many of the veterans gave evidence,
that determination lo march agaii .
with their war-time comrades alon< (
(kept their footsteps from faltering and
j jliund reds finished the march on will
Power rather than on physical en
lergy. Others were forced to drop out |
while still others were accompanied
(during ! Ihe march by sons, daughters
I i or boy scouts.
j The " line oi’ inarch, less than twe
length> led through verita
ble lanes of colored bunting. *
(stars and stripes floated fioni P°* es |
buildings either side and hung j

'from overhead, alongside the atari
find bars of ihe Confederacy.
The marchers added their quota tt
tile color scheme with banners dnd
| flags, many of them battle-scarred
faded a*d bullet riddled.
The more feeble of the veterans
were provided with automobiles, while
lanibulances, placed at intervals in the
procession, took the veterans who were
forced to drop out of line to nearby
first aid stations.
Several bands, including the Six
teentli cavalry band, from Fort Sam
Houston, the Alabama state band and
one from Summit, Miss., and a drum
and bugle corps from Augusta, Ga.
(marched with the old soldiers.
iu the parade first place among the
.veterans was awarded Admiral A. O
Wright of Jacksonville, Fla., one ol
| Ihe few survivors of the Confederate
States navy. Escorts of police and
national guard troops were assigned
at places at the head of the procea
siou, followed by Miss Sadie Rut!
Aldridge of El Paso, sponsor for the
South. Following Admiral Wright next
place ill the line was assigned to the
members of the Confederate Southern
Memorial Association, and next in
order the veterans of the department
of the Army of Northern Virginia, the
Army of the Department of Tennessee
the Trans-Mississippi department, the
Forest cavalry corps, and the Sons ol
Confederate Veterans.

FARM
FIGURE COMPARES WITH
OF $170,000,000 FOR VARIOUS
OTHER LINES
STATE NEWS OF
Brief News Items Gathered Here and
There From All Sections
Of The State
Atlanta,—That the Federal Reserve
Hank of the Sixth (Atlanta) district is
carrying at the present time only $4,
000,000 of agricultural re discounts, as
compared with various other redis¬
counts aggregating $170,000,000, was
asserted by L. B. Jackson, director of
the state bureau of markets, in a
statement issued upon his return from
Birmingham, where he appeared be¬
fore the directors of the bank of this
district at a meeting held in that city
and attended by W. P. G. Harding, gov¬
ernor of the Federal Reserve Board
in Washington.
The object of Mr. Jackson’s trip
to Birmingham was to ask the
tors for an interpretation of a cir¬
cular issued by the hank last June,
in which the statement was made that
notes, the proceeds of which have
been or are to be used for strictly
farm production, shall he exempted
from the normal or basic line of the
discounting member hank to an
amount not exceeding the paid-in and
unimpaired capital and surplus of
■mch member hank.”
Mr. Jackson’s request for an inter¬
pretation of this exemption of agri¬
cultural paper was taken under con¬
sideration by the board, and their de
•ision was reserved.
What Mr. Jackson wishes to know
was whether or not a farmer’s note
secured by a warehouse receipt for
cotton produced this year, and the
proceeds of which were to be used by
farmer to pay obligations incut
ed j„ ,j ie making of a crop, would
()e exempt from the normal or basic
line of the discounting member bank.
This point is considered highly im¬
portant by the market bureau, and
by the other cotton leaders, for tile
reason, as they are informed, .that
numerous member banks are carrying
juch heavy rediscounts tha* they have
passed about the 8 per cent rate of
interest allowed them up to their basic
Jne, and are therefore paying the
higher rate of interest on the sliding
scale. The effect of this, naturally, is
either to cut down the amount of re
liscounts which a ban can handle, or
o run up its interest rate so high
that a farmer cannot afford to pay it.
