A negro must lutve his religion.
Take it from him and you have
llien started something.
The Rock Springs Campmeet¬
ing was very orderly this year.
However, no one should expect the
negroes to have such a gathering
without some disturbance. Neither
do white people have all their
gatherings peacefully.
It is rather amusing to hear some
people’s ideas on what is the cause
of all this dry weather. The fact
is, no one knows. Then why
should they bother their brains
over such things?
Some say people think that the
radio is the cause. What foil!
There is just as much reason to say
that automobiles are ttie cause.
About 85 years ago there was n
very dry season in this section, ae
cording to statements front old
people What was the cause then?
We don’t know, neither does any¬
one else, and we don’t see where
any good could be gained by
worrying over the cause. The only
thing we know is that it is just tlie
natural conditions of things. Some¬
time we have mild winter, and
again we have rather severe cold
enes. What is the cause?
It is true, the drought has al¬
most alarmingly effected North
Georgia, but a majority of these
people ure not pessimists and they
will come out on top, for they are
not ipiitters.
Uncle Joe Byrd, who is over 94
years old, tells us that when he
was a boy at Augusta lie remem¬
bers a time when lie could
from place to place across
Savannah river. That must
been a much dryer time than now.
The drought will make our
ple work with a more asserted
termination, and we are just that
kind of an optimist to believe that
that they will win.
Thousands and thousands of dol¬
lars worth of timber have been
destroyed in White county by fire
u\ the forests. Most of this is due
to sparks from locomotives, we are
told.
Brace up folks, there is always n
brighter day after the clouds have
railed away, and the clouds will
roll away.
Henry Lincoln Johnson, negro
Republican national committeeman
from Georgia, died in Washington
Thursday, September jo, of ceie
bra! hemorrhage. “Link” was a
dominating factor in the distribu¬
tion of federal patronage in Geor¬
gia, Who will take bis place is
causing much speculation among
the republican in Georgia.
Pom llardwick lias this week

Two Free Trips To Farmer Boys
Of White County
A big feature of the Southeastern
Fair of Atlanta every year is the

in the State is permitted to send
two boys and only boys who have
never attended the Fair School be¬
fore. The Southeastern Fair As¬
sociation puys the railroad fares ol
the boys, furnishes camping quar¬
ters for sleeping on the Fair
grounds, and feeds the boys free of
charge. The Fair School this year
will be held Oct. 13 to 17. An
incidental fee of $5.00 for each boy

The bo y s are divided into squads
and each squad is placed in charge
of an expert from the State ColleRe
of Agriculture who uses the ex¬
hibits as a basis of study and
teaches the boys the many practical
lessons to be learned from such a
^ ar S e exhibition of farm crops, live
stock and poultry. Much time,
too, is given to pleasure and visits
to interesting points in the City ol
Atlanta.
Ou Oct. 3, 1925, at two o’clock
at the school house in Cleveland I
shall hold a contest for those boys
who desire to compete for the two
trips offered. I shall be glad 10
hear from any boys interested and
give them further information re¬
garding the matter.
