A Dog’s Tale
Why is a road? Now that’'s a
question I never could answer. Being
a dog, I have been able to get about
wherever I want to go without roads.
Of course I can see why a fellow
who has to drive a wagon, and come
to town with a load, and take a load
back home, might want a road, but I
never could see what use a man has
for a wagon, and they say they did
not have any wagons in this country
until Columbus came over.
The Indians did not have any wag
ons and the Indians got along all
right. I may be prejudiced against
roads, because whenever I go out on
what they call roads around here,
some fellow in a Ford car tries to
run over me. ®
The boss says we have no roads to
speak of, and yet there is a lot of
talk about roads. I have talked to
the horses and mules hitched around
the square and they all agree with
the boss that we have no roads, so I
have come to the conclusion that we
have only talk about roads, and that
is harmless. It ain’t even catchin’
so far as a dog is concerned. |
BUSINESS MEN AND BANKERS
MUST ACT QUICKLY TO SAVE
A BIG DISASTER IN COTTON
Editor Constitution: Unless some
thing is done to stem the downward
sweep of cotton prices we are going
to face a very serious situation in
the south—a situation fraught with
disaster as great as that which came
upon us in 1914,
I am anti-cotton. All my friends
and all those who have read my cards
in your paper know how I feel about
cotton. We ought to quit growing it,
except in limited quantity. It has
kept us poor for sixty years and will
wreck us yet.
¢ But while I am the enemy of cot
ton, I am the friend of the farmer;
but my friendship for the farmer is
not wholly unselfish. All that I have
—my business, my property, my fu
ture and the future of my children
depends upon the prosperity of the
farmer. When he fails I suffer, and
when he succeeds I prosper.
The loss on the Georgia cotton
crop of 1918 alone must be close to
a hundred million dollars, nearly a
million dollars for each county in the
state. Our public men, state and
national, and the farmers themselves
are fully alive to the dangers of the
situation and are doing what they can.
But I see nothing to indicate that
our business men and bankers and cit
izens generally are taking any inter
est in the matter. We are all so
busy with our little money-making
schemes that we have lost sight of
the great disaster that threatens us
We are prone to look upon this mat
ter as one purely for the farmer to
handle.
When the struggle is over, as it will
be shortly, and the cotton crop has
been swept out of the hands of our
farmers for less money than it cost to
produce it, it will then be too late.
It the south is to be saved from this
stupendous loss her bankers and busi
ness men must come to the rescue.
Some means must be found for en
abling the farmers torhold this cotton
until it can be sold for what it is
worth, and it is worth fifty cents per
pound. Our business men have han
dled bigger problems than this during
the past two years and they can han
dle this. For their country’s sake
they have raised billions for war pur
poses. For their own sakes they must
save the farmers, and thereby them
selves from this impending ruin.
Because cotton has been selling
since 1917 for more than it formerly
brought, many people imagine the
farmers are rolling in wealth. I have
been in close touch with them for
forty vears and they have never had
any money they could call their own
until last year and all this is now
about to be swept away. To one who
understands conditions and can see
what is going on, the situation is
tragic beyond words.
I call upon the business men and
the bankers of the south to rally to
this fight. If our finances are prop
erly and promptly mobilized we are
strong enough to control the situa
tion and save ourselves from this
great loss. The farmers cannot do
it alone. They need the help of every
banker and every business man. We
talk of a special session of legisla
ture in Georgia to devise plans for
building roads. Here is money‘
enough, if we can save it, to build |
good roads in all the southern states.
We talk of raising taxes and prop
‘erty assessments for the benefit of the
schools. Here is money enough, if we
‘can save it, to erect a high school
‘building in every county, a university
in every state and double the pay of
every teacher in all of the states of
the south.
The streets and warehouses in every
town in the south are piled high with
cotton. The vaults of every bank in
the country are filled with cotton loans
’at twenty cents a pound. What are
we going to do when they beat the
price down to that figure and below
it? And we need not think they
won’t do it if they can. They have
picked the bones of the cottor\farm-
A State-Wide Victory Drive
Projected By Georgia Baptists
FOR “VICTORY WEEK.,” FEBRUAW, YO RAISE ONE HUNDRED
AND TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS CASH FOR EDUCATION,
;:c:;:mee.
The battle is cn. Georgia Pap
lists, a mighty host, over three hun
ired thousand strong, are being mobl
lized for a great State-wide Victory
Cash Drive to cancel all obligations
:gainst their schools and colleges,
The time set is February 9-16 and is
designated as “Victory Week.” De
nominational leaders, presidents and
professors of schools and colleges, &:
partmental field workers and secre |
les, missionaries and evangelists, pas
tors and laymen, and, best of all, the
good women are hard at work OF
ganizing the Baptist forces of the State
for the “BiG PUSH.”
The Baptist people are a virile ag
gressive set. According to the figures
of the United States Census Bureau
they equal in numbers all other de
nominations in Georgia and so they
largely constitute the back-bone and
stnew of the Christian citizenship of
the State. Every good Georgian will
be interested in their laudable effort
for the common good and will be de
lichted to see them win a complete
victory and put across their endeavor
to make so worthy a contribution to
the cause of education in the State.
GEORGIA BAPTISTS TOOK STOCK.
Two years ago Georgia Baptists
faced the stern cold fact that the
obligations against their many inter
ests and institutions aggregated more
than a half million dollars. But this
fact did not dismay this militant multi
rude for their assets totalled many
times this amount and their resources
many, many times more. However,
they did take stock, pool all obliga
tions in a united campaign and a
single appeal and purposed in their
hearts to liquidate every dollar of
every debt against every institution.
For some years Georgia Baptist
schools have suffered from growing
pains. The garments provided by the
Baptist fathers of former days have
proven all too short. Additional build
ings had to be built, larger facilities
and more modern equipment had to be
provided to meet the higher standards
and the larger needs of greater days.
All of this, together with inadequacy
»f income, resulted in the inevitable
assumption of obligations, which
must now be paid. Some might call,
these obligations debts, but far-seeing,
forward-looking people know they ar(*l
investments, for they have property,
ete., to show for them. }
Many of these obiigations are not
debis in the bad sense. They are sim
ply deferred payments on first-class in.
vestments of other days. Investments
made through the years in educational
facilities and equipment, which have
been in use for yearz and which have
already been of inestimable value and
orofit to the Baptist cause and people
and to education in general. Invest
ments for the common good.
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
CASH NEEDED
The total outstanding obligations re
ported two years ago by the several
Institutions involved was $524,546.00.
Some of these obligations have been
liquidated by the interests which in
curred them, as in the case of the Mis
sion Board and the Georgia Baptist
Orphans’ Home, and Atlanta Baptists
have taken over the Georgia Baptist
Hospital as their part of the great
task—a most worthy part.
At the recent meeting of the Geor
gia Baptist Convention in Macon, the
Committee of Five, which has been
charged with this campaign, reported
that all of the above amount except
$2B 455.00 had been covered by cash, |

THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
[noto- and pledges and some of this has
been received since the convention.
But the obligations were, for the most
ipart. interest-bearing and so, mean
while, interest, expenses, etc., have ac
erued, amounting to something like
$70,000.00 and this, together with $30,-
000.00 estimated for shrinkage by
death and adversity, totals a littla over
$125,000.00 cash needed to “MOP UP.”
The Convention ordered that the
oampaign should be pressed with vigor
and closed by March the first. A spe
clal offering of $10,000.00 was made by
the delegates attending the Convention
to take care of immediate current ne
cessities, for it is a condition of the
campaign that the whole amount of
money must be raised before any may
be disbursed. The success of the whole
pivots on the payment of the last dol
lar. And so out from the Macon Con
vention there surged to every section
of the State bands of determined Bap
tist men ready to tackle the great task
of getting one hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars cash in sixty days.
THE VICTORY CASH DRIVE
FEBRUARY 9-16.
It is a tribute to the resourcefulness
and intense interest of Rev. S. S.
Mathis of Lawrenceville that he so
convincingly presented and planned
the adoption of the “Team of Ten”
plan of campaign for a final cash drive
and an evidence of the sagacity and
leadership of Dr. John G. Harrison,
Executive Secretary, the Committee
of Five and other leaders that the
suggestion was promptly adopted and
put into action.
An aggressive fleld force has al
ready been organized and is now at
;wm'k under the leadership of S. S.
'Mathis, who was go fittingly elected as
fFiold Secretary for this State-wide
‘\'ictm‘y Cash Drive February 9-16. In
brief the plan for this “Big Push” is
:m gecure in each community a “Key
'man,” who will organize and direct a
.teum of ten “Team Workers,” each of
'whom pledges to give a week's work,
Victory Week, February 9-16, or to
raise $lOO.OO cash. Headquarters for
’thv Victory Drive have been opened in
the Flatiron Building, Atlanta, Ga.
Over 100 Key-men have been gecured,
“Teams of Ten” have already been
organized in many sections of the
State and the ‘“set up” of preliminary
organization is being rapidly pushed to
reach every community.
Every Baptist man and Baptist
woman and every friend of the great
Baptist cause is being challenged to do
his or her part in this Victory Cash
Drive. If no team has been set up
in your community, be a Volunteer, or
ganize a team. Write 8. S. Mathis
for information on how to do this. Send
‘all funds, cash, bonds, etc.,, and make
all checks payable to Arch C. Cree,
Treasurer. Address all general corre
spondence and correspondence con
cerning notes and pledges to John G.
Harrison, Executive Secretary, same
address: The Victory Drive, Headquar
ters, Flatiron Building, Atlanta, Ga.
BAPTISTS ABLAZE WITH
ENTHUSIASM.
Phey are all at it in dead earnest,
these virile, militant Baptist folk.
Preachers, teachers, doctors, lawyers,
merchants, bankers, farmers, mechan
ics, plain folk, men and women, boys
and girls, everybody at it with all their
hearts. From Carolina’'s clay to Flor
ida’s forest and from Rabun’s Gap to
Tybee’s Light the Baptist hosts are
being mobilized for this Victory Cash
Drive. The thrill of the tagk is chal
lenging them to do their best. All
Georgia will rejoice in their merited
triumph. ‘
WHAT IS THE TIME YOU
LOSE WORTH TO YOU?
How many hours do you lose in
a year on the roads to and from town
on account of bad roads? Don’t vou
think it would at least pay good in
terest on the investment necessary
to build permanent roads, by the
saving in time, to say nothing on
the wear and tear of teams?
Why not put aside local jealosies
and combine on one good road build
ing plan?
