The people all over the county
are getting very much in earnest
about the new cotton mill. They
all realize the immense value it
will mean to the county. If we
will put our shoulders to the
wheel and pull hard and strong
we can make it. People in Chat
tooga county can always be
counted on doing the right thing
at the right time. We have one
of the best counties in the state.
We have fine farming lands and
we make a lot of farm products.
Now we want to get as many
manufacturing plants as we can,
we want a market right at home
for our stuff. We are tired of
sending our raw material off and
letting other folks get the benefit
of our labor. We want more
good people and a big pay roll
and good wages. We want more
work for our people and good
pay. Our greatest need is more
manufacturing plants an if we
get these we will have money
coming in every week in the year.
We roust have this new quarter
of a million dollar plant and must
get the stock subscribed before
the Ist Feb., or we miss it. Can
we afford to sit down and let an
other place get it? Something
must be done quicir.
CHATTOOGA ASSOCIATION
Ab we enter Into the new year, I
feel Impressed to say a few things
concerning the work In our associa
tion. I have a deep concern for the
churches of our county, though I
have only a little more than two yeai
been among you.
Our association has already won
favorable comment throughout the
state. But there is room foradvance
ment.
What could we be if we were all
to do our best. I am aware that we
have sustained a great loss in the pe>
son of Bro. J. G. Hunt. No one pos
sibly feels the loss so keenly as I.
But we have reasons to rejoice that
his brother comes to take up his
work, if we lag in our work this
year some will be ready to say
It Is because we dont have Bro.
Hunt to stir us up. Nothing would
grieve him more than to think the
work here was no more substantial
than his presence and that his ef
forts had so soon spent thair force.
I know that we have some of as
good churches as can pe found in the
land. It is a great pleasure to serve
such churches.
And knowing most of the pastors
as I do I have a good reason to ex
pect our affairs to pros per. The
most of our churches are responsive
the calls made upon them by an
earnest, wide awake ami consecrat
ed pastor. We need greatly to try to
enlist the idle which compose such a
large part of our membership. If
not morethan one third of our peo
ple do what is done, what might we
do If all were alive to the work.
It is unfair to those who bear the
burden when we report so many in
numbers and few have to meet all th
expensesand do all the work.
Why should not all feel the same
interest in the churches in which the
are members? If our churches in tht
community are good institutions and
stand for anything that promotes the
interests of the community why
should they not receive the support
of at least all their members?
The attendance upon our Sunday
schools is considerably less than
have the membership of the church
es. Why is this? It it because many
have no iuteiestiu the study of Gods
word?Do any get too old or too wise
to study the Bible ?If any graduate
in the Book they should become
societies in all our churchesand suit
able libraries of good books to take
the place of so much that is spu
rious and irreligious.
Wishing all a happy and prosperous
new year, lam truly,
A. F. Mahan.

The Roosevelt Commission.
Mr. Roosevelt here of late
seems greatly concerned about
the condition of the farming class
of our country. To the extent,
that he has sent out a commis
sion of wise men from the East
to see what can be done for the
( “Up Lift” of the poor old farmer.
Possibly Mr. Roosevelt is in
earnest about the matter. But
it strikes me that any man of
ordinary intelligence and obser
vation would realize, the trouble
did not to any great extent lie at
the door of the farmer. There is
room for considerable improve
ment in our mode of farming by
the intensive system —deversiti-
cation and better preparation of
the soil. But should the c om
mission accomplish this; would it
bring about the necessary relief?
I think not! Make 2 bales of cot
ton, 2 bushels of wheat and 2 of
corn where one is made now,
would be no benefit to the farmer,
but to that class, who are already
in the “swim” as it would reduce
the present price of these pro
ducts to one half or more. The
greatest trouble lies nearer the
President’s door than that of the
farmer. He ought to send his
com mision amongst the cabinet
officers—the Houseof Lords—the
Senate—the Federal and
supreme courts —the legislature
and city municipalities —mam-
moth trusts, that destroys com
petition, high protective tariff,
that enables people in foreign
countries to purchase our manu
factured articles at one half the
price we have to pay for the same
at home. Monopolies, class legis
lation and corrupt federal courts
are some of the evils that are
now playing havac with the farm
ers business. The lack of the
enactment of heathful laws and
the failure to inforce the few we
now have is where the trouble
lies. It is the evil in human na
ture to reach out after every
thing in sight, and the failure to
enforce the laws or enact such
as would prevent this intemper
ate, unsatiable, greed, and il’e
gal grabbing will result in disas
ter sooner or later.
It is human nature to buy low,
and sell high; and with some the
means justifies the end. Trusts
that are enabled to stifle compe
tition and fix enormous prices on
the manufactured article and
transportation companies add
heavy burdens to this, and these
same combinations are also en
abled to fix the price of the
farmers products to below cost
of producing them. Things are
obliged to get in bad shape
mighty quick—and under such
conditions, although Mr. Roose
velt’s commission might have the
wisdom of Soloman, the philoso
phy of a Socratese and the elo
quence of St. Paul it would effect
nothing. I’m sruprised the
farmer has survived such, as
long as he has. In speaking of
freight rates, brings to mind an
incident which occured recently.
We shipped a lot of water ground
meal to a friend in Florida know
ing how they appreciated such
I down there, we made no charges.
They appreciated it very much,
but wrote, to ship them no more.
The bread was tine, but the
freight that got worked up in it,
to eat such, would soon break
them up —And yet they claim op
pressive laws are bankrupting
them.
If farmers were in a position
where they could purchase neces
saries at a reasonable profit to
the seller and coaid dispose of
[ their products at a profit of from
10 to 25 percent, then Mr. Roose-!
velt could send his commission I
home for we would soon be abl- ■
to show liim. a veritable garden :
l of Eden —a land flowing with '
j milk and honey, and cattle upon j
a thousand hills,
