ABOUT STATE AFFAIRS
(By Gilreath Press Syndicate.)
ATLANTA, Sept. 13 (GPS).—Now
that they have started another bloody
war in Europe, America’s only real ob
jective is to KEEP OUT OF IT. Oar
fight is to keep out of war. President
Roosevelt has said his administration
will make every effort to keep us out.
He added: “As long as it remains in my
power to prevent, there will be no black
out of peace in the United States.”
The Atlanta Georgian, in a recent
front-page editorial signed by William
Randolph Hearst, said, “We can keep out
of war if we want to.” The editorial
further said in part: “Europe could keep
out of war if it wanted to. There is no
situation in Europe which could not have
been solved by the peaceful discussion
which the president urged . . . But war
is in no sense inevitable here.”
The editorial concluded with this state
ment : “America has a great opportunity,
a great mission, which it can only fulfill
if it keeps out of war, and if it keeps
its resources, its institutions, its demo
cratic principles intact, and fully avail
able for its own benefit, and for the re
construction of the world.”
The Georgian, at another time, called
attention to the fact that U. S. Senator
Walter F. George, of Georgia, is a mem
ber of the senate foreign relations com
mittee, one of the most important and
most powerful committees of congress.
Pending before that committee are reso
lutions which would quickly drag us into
any foregin war. They are the Pittman
resolution and the amended Sol Bloom
bill. Says the Georgian :
“If you want peace—if you want
America to keep out of foreign wars —

HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED.
“The only important fact about which
there can possibly be any difference of
opinion is the extent to which highway
carriers are subsidized.” declares the
Railway Age, “This can only be resolved
by a thorough study of highway costs;
and this is what the railroads have
asked. There certainly can be no differ
ence of opinion as to whether water car
riers are heavily subsidized, because wa
terways cost money and waterway users
do not pay a red cent for their use.”
GIST OF THE NEWS
Georgia led the nation in the volume
of sales of independent retail hardware
stores during July as compared with the
same month a year ago. Georgia’s gain

beginning of the church’s fiscal year . . .
The late Chief Justice Richard B. Rus
sell, of the Georgia supreme court, was
eulogized last week for his “remarkable
genius, intellectual greatness and basic
honesty of mind and soul that was his.”
This tribute came from Arthur G. Pow
ell, of Atlanta, who served with Judge
Russell when both were on the court of
appeals after it was organized in 1907.
THE DRUNKARDS.
Twenty-Third Psalm
The following is reprinted from the
Monticello News:
King alcohol is my shepherd ; I shall al
ways want.
He maketh me to lie down in the gutters.
He leadeth me beside troubled waters.
He destroyed my sould.
He leadeth me into the paths of wicked
ness for effects sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of
poverty and have delirium tremens,
I -will cling to drink.
For thou art with me, thy bite and thy
sting they torment me.
Thou preparest an empty table before me
in the presence of my family.
Thou annointest my head with hellish
ness.
My cup of wrath runeth over.
Surely destruction and misery shall fol
low me all the days of my ife, and
I shall dwell in the house of the
damned forever.

FARM BRIEFS

Extension Editor.
HARVESTING METHODS
Many farmers in Georgia have recently
obtained better understanding of proper
methods for harvesting and curing les
pedeza sericea and kudzu hay through
soil conservation service. Points stressed
in harvesting lespedeza sericea were the
importance of cutting for hay when the
plants average 12 to 15 inches in height
and the best methods for curing the hay
in order to retain the leaves. It was also
pointed out at the demonstrations that
the legume should not be harvested for
hay before the second season.
MESSAGE FROM WALLACE.
Secretary Henry A. Wallace, in urging
American farmers to proceed with their
poduction plans as if the outbeak in Eu
rope had not occurred, recently declared :
“American agriculture is in a much bet
ter position to meet the shock of war
than it was ’25 years ago. As we have
kept pointing out, the very machinery
which farmers have used to adjust pro
duction to decreased demand in peace
time can be used in wartime to increase
production if and when that becomes ad
visable.”
PLANTING WINTER LEGUMES
Farmers of Georgia are going ahead
with their plans to seed a large acreage
of cover crops, despite the fact that they
will not be able to secure winter legume
seed as grants-of-aid under the Tirple-
A program. Why? Simply because they
realize the value of Austrian winter
peas, vetch and crimson clover as soil
building and forage crops.
FIRST STEEL PLOW
A steel plow forged by an American
concern in 1837 has been acquired by the
Smithsonian institution in Washington.
The plow was forged in Illinois.
pLOSE-GROWING VEGETATION
One of the most outstanding develop
ments on 18,000 farms in erosion-con
trol demonstration areas of the soil con
servation service in the southeast has
been the use of close-growing vegetation
(for erosion control, R. Y. Bailey, chief
of the regional agronomy division, tells
us. As a part of the erosion-control pro
gam on these farms, more than a half
million acres has been planted to eros
ion-resisting crops and more than a mil
lion acres to semi-erosion-resisiting veg
etation.
Need more hogs
Those who have studied the swine sit
ation in Georgia declare that this state
can profitably produce as much as 3,000.-
000 hogs every year. The last census gave
he hog production of the state at 1,500,-

GOOD TIDINGS
By THOMAS D. LYNN.
Living a Christian Life.
Text: Straight is the gate, and narrow
is the way, which leadeth unto life and
few’ there be that find it (Matt. 7 :14).
As Jesus went through the cities and
villages, teaching, one said unto him,
“Lord, are there few that be saved?”
And he said unto them, “Strive to enter
in at the straight gate: for many, I say
unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall
not be able.”
When once the Master of the house is
risen up, and hath shut to the door, and
ye begin to stand without, and to knock
at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open
unto us; and he shall answer and say
unto you, I know not whence ye are:
“Then shall ye begin to say, “We have
eaten and drunk in thy presence, and
thou hast taught in our streets.” But he
shall say, “I tell you, I know not whence
ye are; depart from me, all ye workers
of iniquity.” (Luke 13:24-27).
I have thought many times about the
straightforwardness of a Christian life.
One may believe he can live any way,
o anything he pleases, go any place he
desires, and still be a Christian. But that
doesn’t change the word of God.
A man cannot live for God today, and
the devil tomorrow and be a Christian.
Jesus said, “No man can serve two mas
ters. for either he will hate the one and
love the other; or else he will hold to
the one and despise the other.”
There are only two classes of the hu
man family, the good and the bad; right
eous and wicked, sinners and Christians
—YOU are either a child of God or a
child of the devil.
Either make the tree good and his
fruit good, or else make the tree corrupt;
and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is
known by his fruit. A good man out of
the good treasure of his heart bringeth
forth good things: And an evil man out
of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil
things. (Matt. 12:33-35).
I have given enough scripture to show
the difference between a genuine Chris
tian and a hypocrite.
We must live each minutes just as if
it were the last one. If we live in such
away we can go to bed at night and
feel assured that if we were called away
by death before morning, we would have
life eternal. Otherwise, we shal hear him
say, “Depart from me, ye workers of
iniquity.”
NOTICE.
A singing class has been organized at
the Spring Creek Baptist church. We
will sing each third Sunday afternoon.
So if you are a lover of good singing,
come and be with us next Sunday after
noon, Sept. 17. We need Au and we
also expect to have some good singers
with us. We invite you one and all next
Sunday at 2 o’clock.

LLOYD TAPP. Vice-President.
