n A MUM Demoted to The Be st I nterests of Dade County and Georgia. VOLUME XLVI. ' CHAPTER FOUR He had a wide forehead that told of his own deep sensativ- ity and a laughing wrinkle from eye to mouth making a deep cleft down each lean cheek. This pleased her as she continued to muse on the nature of this slum¬ bering man. The silent hands of the clock pointed to eleven, the noises of the city had qui¬ eted down, the sultry heat seemed to multiply in volume as each empty hour passed. Fi¬ nally something seemed to stir the man’s drugged brain up to¬ wards the shores of awakening —no doubt, another dream. He struggled himself upright into a sitting position with a startled look upon his face. He stared flabbergasted at the woman in front of him and rubbed his nose vigorously as if a spider web clung to it. Like a flame shoot¬ ing across a dark sky a pain stung his being through and through as he looked into Car- oline Moss’ dark eyes and saw j hunger there, two kinds of hun¬ ger—and a humility and a rare tenderness. The realization caused him to rise abruptly and set himself down beside her as he asked her compassionately, “You’re hungry, ain’t cha?” His voice held deep regret as if it were a guilt upon his own con¬ science, this unkind fate that had left so sad a mark upon this woman’s face. Her white face was seemingly unmoved, while her dark eyes that had tho iron of endurance miracu¬ lously hidden in them some¬ where smiled a smile that meant nothing; that said nothing only that she endured a wonderful weariness and that she recogniz¬ ed in him another human being whom the world cared nothing about and had dealt with ac¬ cordingly. A soul she felt to be acquainted with grief and lone¬ liness and despair. She had de¬ duced all this as she sat before him empty stomached wonder¬ ing about him as he slept the drugged sleep of a lost soul. She was lost too, despite her very long and earnest effort not to be so she gave him a smile and said, “Oh, I guess I AM hungry —some but I hope I don’t LOOK all THAT hungry—besides it’s not important.” “How ’bout me getting y’ somethin’ t’ eat?” and without waiting for a reply was up and gone, he must have time he said to himself to straighten out his woozey mind and take another drink, just a tiny one. She sat spellbound—to have a man deliberately get up from his seat and take the trouble to wait upon her, to pay for food him¬ self just for her well, it was a new experience and she sat won¬ dering about it. A strange turn of events she thought for one who had waited upon men, wo¬ men and children so long, al¬ most too long. She shyly looked around n the direction of the lunch counter across the room and a wave of hot blood flooded her face spreading to her neck and tingling down to her finger tips. He was not to be seen any¬ where! “Of course I am the fool,” she said in her mind and folded her arms tightly across her empty stomach. (To be continued) States Rev. Collections Now Eighteen Million Dollars More Without enlarging the num¬ ber of employees or otherwise increasing cost of operations, the State Revenue Department has effected an increase of ap¬ proximately eighteen million dollars a year in tax collections, it was announced by State Reve- hue Commissioner M. E. Thomp¬ son. This in spite of the fact that the legislature created a new department within the De¬ partment. With the State Auditor esti¬ mating that over twelve million dollars must be added to the state’s income next year if the state government’s expanded _ .......................

Dorsey Smith Has Fine Irish Potato Crop This Year “There ain’t no such animal,’’ was the contention of citizens of Trenton when they looked at the huge potatoes produced on the farm of Dorsey Smith on Sand Mountain. One of these potatoes, brot to The Times office this week, tip¬ ped the scales at 17 ounces. Peo¬ ple who have visited the Smith farm claim that potatoes of this size can be found in almost ev¬ ery hill of the two acres now ready for harvest. Mr. Smith used seed brought from south¬ ern Alabama, and his expected returns from this year’s crop run into figures that look attractive. In addition to good seed, oth¬ er factors enter into the produc¬ tion of potatoes of this quality, such as fertilization, careful cul¬ tivation, and growing of nitro¬ gen producing crops. Mr. Smith is becoming an expert at this kind of farming. From approximately two acres planted to early potatoes on his farm, production is expected to reach 200 bags. A few seconds with paper and pencil will tell us that, even with potatoes at their present price, a tidy profit will be realized. Baptist Leaders Make Check of Relief Needs A half dozen Southern Baptist pastor and leaders are traveling in as many different directions to make a first-hand study of world conditions. Baptist churches are now engaged in the World Relief Campaign for $3,500,000. Dr. Louie Newton president of the Southern Baptist Conven¬ tion, is in Russia. Dr. Newton was the leader in the campaign to pack kits for Russia during the war. Dr. M. T. Rankin and Dr. Ba ker James Cauthen are in China to make a study of Southern Baptist relief and rehabilitation needs there. Dr. Rankin is sec¬ retary of the Foreign Mission board. Dr. Cauthen is secretary for the Orient. Dr. M. E Dodd is leaving for Australia. He will make a prea¬ ching tour while there. He is pastor of the First Baptist Church, Shreveport, La., and former president of the South¬ ern Baptist Convention. Dr. Josef Nordcnhaug, Lynch* Lurg, Va., has returned to his native Norway. He will visit many of the Baptist churches while there, and study relief needs. Dr. C. O. Johnson, pastor of the Third Church, St. Louis, will make a tour of Pacific bases un¬ der the sponsorship of the Chap¬ lain’s Commission A goal of $300,000 has been set by Georgia Baptists in the cur rent enthusiastic campaign for funds to send food and clothing to the starving peoples of Eu¬ rope and Asia, Dr. James W. Merritt, Baptist state secretary has announced. The quota is the state’s part of a $3,500,000 campaign voted by Southern Baptists at their recent annual convention in Miami. It is to be raised not i a ter than September 30. Many thousands of people are starving daily,” Dr. Merritt ex plained, “and it is vital that as much relief as possible be sent immediately.” Reports indicate that the rate of starvation now is as high as 70 deaths per minute. Baptist relief and rehabilita¬ tion funds will be distributed through the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board by its several hundred missionaries already on the field in the des¬ titute areas. This arrangement assures 4hat practically every cent contributed goes to relief, in that no additional salaries or distribution centers need to be set up. Too, Dr. Merritt added, our missionaries are able to deliver this food to the needy in the name of Christian fore- es in America, paving the way for spiritual conquests later.

George Bible, Dade High 4-H member represented the county in the livestock judging contest. (sponsored The Dade County Lions Club the trip for the 4-H contestants. JUSTSTUFF P’olks, we hardly know how to tell this story. First, we want to say that we do not know the boys we shall refer to—nor do we know who their parents are. So you may dismiss the idea, if such occurs to you, that we are trying to “get even” with some¬ one. Further, Trenton boys by far and large are above the av¬ erage in courtesy—and'we have often remarked publicly of this commendable trait. We do know the old gentleman we shall refer to, however, and know he is a quiet, law-abiding gentleman who attends to his own affairs and would like to be left alone. So now, if the shoe fits you in the following remarks, just wear it: if it don’t, just leave it alone —we’re not talking about you nor your kids, but the % other fellow and his brats. These boys were tantalizing the old gentleman and had him worked up into a frenzy. He told us that they often aggra¬ vated him in various ways, but always ran when he got too close to them. Poor old man! He was not so lucky as Elisha of olden times when fifty young¬ sters followed him yelling “Go up, thou bald head! go up, thou bald head,” and “two she bears came out of the wood and tear forty and two of them!” Now these hoodlum acts may be the fault of those whose who ought to be responsible for the rearing of the children. But there is a grievous fault some¬ where. If it is the parents’ fault, then they should be ashamed of themselves, and correct their fault. If it is the children’s fault, the parents ‘should know a j X)U<| and ge t t> usy W ith their biggest job in the world—that of “bringing up a child in the way he should go.” We have no desire to offend anyone, and all this is said with a hope of getting folks to think and act in a matter that to us seems important indeed; but if anyone wishes to take exception to what we say, we feel that we are just as well off without their friendship as we would be with it, and the only fear we would have of their enmity is what they might do behind our back. Remember, humans will act humanely. It is the instinct of animals to tantalize and to de¬ vour each other! Service News Joe D. Walls, RM 3c, of Tren¬ ton Route 1, received his hon¬ orable discharge from the Naval service at Jacksonville, Fla., on July 27. FAMILY MILK SUPPLY IS IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT A dairy cow can supply ap- proximately one-fifth of the food requirements of the aver¬ age Georgia family, according to studies made by specialists of the State Extension Service. At the same time, plenty of home-produced milk lowers the cost of living. For a constant supply of milk and butter, two cows are recommended for each family. These should not freshen at the same time, the Extension workers point out.
