this year and in addition will
much to i elieve the shortage
exists elsewhere, mainly

reasonable good market for
seed, he said.
Seed which are intended

Governor Attacks
Federal Reliefs
‘Chariety’ Policy
GNA— Declaring that charity
discourages honest work, Gover¬
nor Taimadge in an interview with
a special correspondent of the
New Yorit Times this week, criti¬
cized the program of direct relief
by the federal government and
declared that he favored a pro¬
gram of public works in its stead.
Asked if the agricultural pro¬
gram of the national admidistra-
tion had not been a great boon to
the farmers of Georgia,
the cotton farmers, the governor
replied that in his opinion the pro¬
gram “haa been disastrous.”
“What would Georgia do if the
Federal Government stopped re¬
lief?” the governor was asked.
“Put the unemployed to work,”
Governor Taimadge replied.
“That’s the way Mussolini solved
that problem.’’
The governor pointed out that
when President Roosevelt was
eiected he said he planned to call
conference with the governors of
the various states at frequent
intervals, but had called only one
such conference and that was two
days after his inauguration.
“We governors thought that
we were going to be a sort of sec¬
ond cabinet to consult with and
advise with the President, because
we know the actual conditions i n
our states,” lie added.
4‘U the government had spent
thh'iJt) million dollars that has gone
to relief on the state highways,”
lie said, every road in Georgia
would have been made a turnpike.
The relief roils have the tendency
to disrupt labor generally and
everyone will want to get on them.’
The governor stated that his
idea of general employment would
be a public works program in
which the wages paid would
less than private enterprises
able to pay, instead of more
they can pay.
“I am still in favor of a
jcal year for the southern cotton
growers, leaving the cotton
idle each seventh year. That will
take care of the cotton
and can be applied to other
ches of agriculture,’-’ he said.
Governor Taimadge declined
discuss his personal reactions
the New Deal, and the national
recovery program, declaring
the action of the state
at Macon last week spoke for
self in this respect.
“This kind of criticism should
come from our own
partyranks,” the governor said.
The convention was marked
by much criticism of New
policies.
Shelby Myric, keynote
assailed the national re c o v e r
program, calling for
of expeiimentsthat had failed,
end to the “orgy of money
ing” and declaring that
some action of this kind was tat
public confidence would be
undermined and business
be damaged seriously.
Following this address the
vention adopted a platform
ing fora number of cnanges in
national recovery program.
Condemning government
ference with private business,
platform denounces the vast
penditures of the recovery
and attacked processing taxes.

Letter From A

Yes there are blind minds in the

country. Listen to this: In whom
th^God of the world hath blind¬
ed their minds.” 2 Cor. 4:4. “Hav

you. You may fair to read it anci
to heed it. But nevertheless it i s

ture interpretation is not a matter
of culture and left to the inteliec
tual alone, but it is a matter of
spiritual insight one the part of
the redeemed ones. If you are yet
not a Christian, you cannot un¬

“The natural man receiveth net

Booth Tucker, a great Salva¬
tion Army worker one that work¬
ed with the folks in the gutter o f
sin, once told this little story.
After he had preached the word
of God a toiler came to him and
said before ail the audience:
“Booth Tucker, you can talk
about how dear CiSNst is and how
he helps you;but if sour wife was
dead, as is my wife, and you had
some babies trying for t h e i r
mother who would never come
back, you could not say what you
are saying.” Weeks pass and
Booth Tuckers wife was killed in
a wreck. Her body was brought
to Chicago to the Salvation Army
auditorium for the funeral. After
.the funeral was preached Booth
Tucker stood and looked into the
face of his d t ad companion and
said, ‘ The other day when I was
here a man said I could not say
Chr'ot was sufficient if my wife
was dead as his was. Now my chil¬
dren are crying for their mother.
If that man is here I want to tel!
him that Christ is sufficient. My
heart is broken. But there is a
song in my heart and Const put
it there. If that man is here I tell
him that. Christ speaks comfort
to me today.” The man was there
and soon came <^wn the aisle and
fell on his knees near the casket
and said “Verily if Christ can help
up like that, I will surrender him’
and he was saved.

The Great Teacher
The greatest teacher ever
known was Jesus Christ, the Holy
g on 0 f God, who died for us t o
save us.
As our Sunday school progresfr*
es so ni ce ly, our hearts cry out-
Lord give us more const crated,
trained, Spirit filled teachers who
are capa hle of teaching the great
truths of the Lord Jesus.” fn sec¬
ond Tim: 2:15 we are taught not
be ashamed, but learning to han¬
dle the Bible aright.
“Study to show thyself approv¬
ed unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, right¬
ly dividing the woid ot truth.”
We need more teachers who
love the work, information and
loving grace. Pray ye therefore
the Lord of the Harvest that He
would send forth more laborers
in His vineyard. Areal God called
teacher considers it a supreme joy
to make God’s word attractive to
others. To this end every consci¬
entious teacher p'ans, studies and
prays to make himself more avail¬
able for ihe great privilege of
sharing their Bible treasures
with others. Every teachers aim
should be tr lead lost souls to
Christ to live such beautiful Christ
led lives that others would long
to have such a precious friend a s
Jesus. May God give us more
spirit filled Christian teachers t o
tiain our children and young
people.
