", 1909 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. Moderator. GEORGIA. Chattooga County. To all whom it may concern: M. W. Wimpee. administrator of R. IV.

This January the 6th, 19 J. P. Johnston, Ordinary. THE BUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JAN. 7, 1909. 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, J.
