Paul had made converts and had or ganized them into the churches of Ga latia. The prospects for a virile Chris tianity were very bright. Some years later he received a report concerning these converts to the effect that they had been led off into an unfruitful path. They had begun in the way of the Gos pel ; they were now headed for the dead end of the way of legal necessity. Hence, Paid’s great concern for them : "Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?” Everywhere in life one can find wrecks of those persons who began life well, but they stopped along the way and have be come dwarfed personalities, or they have been allurred into away that seemed more promising at the time but which proved to be a dead-end way—a way of disillusionment. What if every one of us who started out in the Christian way had kept going along in that way? How bright the way would now be and how wonderful the scenery from the high peaks of Christian experience we would have reached ere now! When the works of the painter. Millais, were exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery. Lady Constance Leslie went early to see them. She met Millais in tears coming away from viewing his own works. Said he to her: "Ah. dear Lady Constance, you see me unmanned. Well, I'm not ashamed of averring that in looking at tpy earliest pictures I have been over come with chagrin that I so far failed in my maturity to fulfill the full fore cast of my youth !” Many started out in youth to run well but have failed in their mature years to fulfill the full forecast of their youth. Too many of these ale only grieving. What they should do is to begin where they left off or went astray and run well again in the way that leads to the ful fillment of promise. GUERNSEY SOLD. TRION.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1939. MOTOR CYCLES TO RETURN TO LAKEWOOD RACE TRACK JULY 4 I ' \ PF '■ - J 7 ' '' . The thrilling motorcycle races, witnessed at Lakewood Park last August by the largest crowd of motorcycle fans in the past ten years, will return to Lakewood on July 4 with such outstanding riders and speed demons as Todd Haygood, Clarence Pierce, Teddy Edwards and Wayman Gunter, and many others, according to announcement by Mike Benton, President of the Southeastern Fair and Lakewood Park. This year Mr. Benton is staging a regular carnival of speed on July 4th, with automobile races, speed boat faces and motorcycle races, followed in the evening by “MISS ATLANTA” Bathing Beauty Parade and a gigantic Fireworks display. The race time trials begin at 11 A. M., and the races proper at 3 P. M.; evening performance begins at S P. M. [GEORGIA S PROGRAM TO RE-CREATE /F EMPIRE V IATE °71561 /44A pW/T® fiBJ \ BUDGET/ The house economy committee has com pleted its work. The complete version of its report is not yet available for general consideration, so it is impossible to de termine precisely what examples of waste and inefficiency will be stressed in the final summation. After the monumental studies made by the committee, the long sessions of testimony and the promises of startling disclosures, the eventual re sults were not entirely up to expecta tions. It is not essential to go into the de tails o.f the recommended appropriations. In the absence of dear-cut citations of waste, some of the reductions, especially to small, highly essential but politically impotent agencies, appear unjustified. Nor is it necessary to stress the fact that the house economy committee in go ing outside the field of its duties to ren der such a report infringed upon the du ties of the able, well-qualified and con scientious appropriations committee of the house. But one phase of the committee report is complete in detail. That is the section devoted to anticipated revenues for the coming fiscal year, which begins July 1. 1939. The committee estimates that the col lections available for the general fund for 1939-40, the coming fiscal year, would total $10,939,890.21. The text of the re port justified Atlanta newspapermen in stating that this was based on an esti mate made by Tax Commissioner T. Gratly Head. An examination of the report disclos ed two things : that the committee erred in its figures by something over four minion dollars, and that the figures were vastly different frptn the thoroughly op timistic ones submitted by Mr. Head. Other phases of the report, including the recommendations for four million dollars in new taxes, appear equally erroneous, and suggest that the committee, function ing without an adequate appropriation, should have been given funds with which to employ a competent accountant. Among items listed as accruing to the general fund which do not go into that fund were: liquor tax. $1,640,000; malt beverage tax. $111,400: cigar and cigar ette tax. $1,578,000 (an error of approx imately $800,000); wine tax. $16,000. In addition a staggering error was made in calculating that the stabilization act would give the general fund $1,605. 678.68. The stabilization act could yield only half the amount claimed, even on the ! basis of the committee’s inaccurate fig i ores, before its expiration by operation . of law on Dec. 31. 1939. In addition, the committee, in its careless juggling of fig , ores, added to the general fund 10 per j cent, of the general fund as part of this . yield, a method of multiplication of rev enues and assets nothing short of mirac . ulous. I While the revenue commissioner must be exonerated from any part in the set ; ting up of these manifestly inaccurate I figures—the correct ones would disclose a potential revenue of about $12,600,000 : as anticipated Mr. Head is at least | partly to blame for the ridiculous rec | ommendations made by the committee in I: the tax field, whore, they assure. Geor gians. four million dollars can be ob tained by the wave of a hand. An examination of one item will be suf- I fieient. The committee, following the lead ’ of Mr. Head, states that $500,000 can bo ibtained for the state from increased revenues from the ad valorem tax on . ! autos, if uniform values are estiblished. I A breakdown of these figures will disclose that it would require an average increase . in assessment of $227 for each ear now I licensed in Georgia to produce this rev | enue. ; Would the average jalopy driven by the | average Georgian on the average mud- I trail in Georgia bring $227 if sold? A careful item by item recheck of the I findings of the economy committee will I disclose that, as a result of their hear :ngs. the deficit in Georgia's finances | 'till stands at about $8,500,000. plus the imount needed to make good the reiter ated pledges to the counties of assistance ii replacing lost revenue and the solemn. . mrally-binding pledge made by the gen ■ral assembly of this state ii> its last regular session to pay the schools the ' fW) tko mirront VPAT. SMALL GRAIN PLOT RESULTS The small grain demonstration plot, which was sponsored jointly by the Ly erly chapter of Future Farmers of Amer ica and the Arcadian Nitrate of Soda company, has closed. The yields were 1414 bushels per acre where no soda was used. 15*-> bushels per acre where soda was applied at the rate of 100 pounds per acre, 19 bushels per acre where 200 pounds of soda per acre was applied and 27% bushels per acre where 300 pounds of soda was applied per acre. So we see that it will not only pay to side dress with sodaUbut it pays to use more per acre. In the guessing contest, which was held in connection with the plot. J. O. Chandler. George Bishop and W. T. Hammontree tied for the award of first place on the plot where no soda was us ed ; H. L. Abrams won the cash award on the 100-lb per acre plot; Mrs. Jessie L. Bain and James Stanley tied for tile prize on the 200-lb-per-acre plot, and Tom Brooks and O. P. Dawson tied for the award on the 300-lb-per-acre plot. We hope that this demonstration has been of some help to the farmers of bur community and wish to thank all of those who have co-operated with us in making it possible. We believe that in the future, every farmer will fiind it profitable to use soda on his small grain. LIERMAN MOUNT.
