It appearing that the grand jury of
said county, chosen and sworn for
the September term, 1926, of the su
perior court of said county, have rec
ommended that an election be held-in
and for said county pursuant to the
provisions of an act of the General
Assembly of Georgia, approved July
27th, 1925., to determine whether or
not the tax levying authorities of
said county shall exempt from taxa
tion for a space of five years such
property as is provided in Article 7,
Section 2, Paragraph 2-A of the Con
stitution of the State of Georgia.
It is therefore ordered that an elec

the lawful polling places of said

of said Act.
It is further ordered that all par

Russell Lee, of Berryton, is able to
be out again after a serious operation
at Harbins hospital in Rome, four
weeks ago.
Among the out-of-town guests who
attended the Bolling-Allen wedding
Were, Mrs. Sarah Hale, Mr. and Mrs

day.
For the first time in business his
tory, all brunches of the electrical
j industry have combined to educate the
{people of the North American con-
I tinent in the service of electricity. At
Association Island in Lake Ontario
during the first week in September,
power companies, wholesalers of elec
trical appliances, electrical contra
| tors- retailers and 140 electrical
leagues in that many American an
Canadian cities adopted what is
known as the national market devel-
I opment plan and will support it with
: millions of dollars, An increase in
the use of electricity is a iticipated.
as a result, which will heighten the
comfort and conveience of people
everywhere and lower the cost of
electric service and appliances. They
will learn that “Electricity is a better
' way of living.”
the plan of public education and
market development will be carried
out by an organization functioning
nationally through the Society or
Electrical Development and loca iv
through 409 or more electric leagues
which will be chapters of the Society.
This type of co-operative effort in
business is exactly the thing that Her
bert Hoover has been counselling
industries to adopt and has not only
the sanction of Mr. Hoover but of
] Thomas A. Edison and Owen D.
; Young. Foremost men within the
I industry see in it a great agency of
constructive rather than destructive
1 competition which will work to the
benefit of those within the industry
and those without.
Even non-electrical stores such as
1 department and hardware stores are
to be included in the local organiza
tions so that they all may have a
part in the plan of reaching people
and of enioying the benefits of the
business development.

The Neutrality of Nature
September 16, 1926.
Dear Mr. Editor, I,
Summerville, Georgia.
I have just read in Sunday’s Con- j •
stitution magazine section an article .
by Dr. King, of Gainesville, on the;
neutrality of nature, which clearly •
proves we cannot draw a distinction .
between the good and evil from the
f, rces that are visible as they op- 1
perate in the lives of all without re- .
spect to persons, but must look for an
j answer that springs from within.
The rain falls on the- just and the
' un just alike. The sun also sends forth
I its rays to bless the entire earth with
!no respect to person. Poverty and
; plenty are side by side.
The good as well as the evil sick-1
; en and die. The industrious often are ]
1 need of the physical comforts of]
i fe, which by their side others have
.-sore than heart could wish. Their
j eyes strain out with fatness, they
! seem to have no sorrows and yet we,
ee no real good in their lives or hear 1
] the unfortunate bless them for fav
ors shown. To a looker on this world
all a mad house.
There are some in every walk in
v ho can play the game just a lit
better and seem to win distinction;
.0 ' honor, while by their si< -■ a bro-'
darkness, feeling his way with every
, fat ulty strained to the limit, but fails
reach tl • use, where!
<*ar told for souls]
-I peace for mind. 1 1 , r it alarms]
he whole world at this present time.
When our old preachers begin to j
ry out for help and comfort, when
; t hey feel they are no longer active. 1
! They admit they have done a noble;
I work. Some one should pension us,
don’t let me suffer.
i Yet through all thees years in ac-]
■ life i'i - ' have declared the Lord
my strength and portion whati
uld I i\ar. He preparath a table]
• me right in the presence of my
Tjmies. ]
Hr satisfyeth me so that I shall!
at nothing. Have they lost that ]
wer within or did they claim that]
hich they did not possess,
The living satisfying motor of life ? ;
and when the physical forces give]
way as in all nature die their soul]
like all the world? z
Friends, there is something wrong
with us, I know there is something
wrong with me. As we near the end of
ur pilgrimage here there should be
i death cry. But a shout of victory,
. iould go up. This water I shall give
' ill be in you a well springing up
mtinually.
Now let me hear confess: I am]
flounderng and anxiously await his]
coming, I am praying daily for the!
i bread of life, for the comfort of soul, ]
that all stand in need of. Yes, for;
, the Christ I read of and long for, and I
for my children, my neighbors, my
! country and the world to the end..
Respectfully,
C. A. DODD.
