AUGUSTA EAGLES
BY CORRESPONDENT
Despite the warm we had
quite nn enthusiastic meeting
Wednesday night as the faithful
were on hand and some good talks
were Indulged in by the brothers,
as we had some unfinished business
to come up that were finally adjust
od, and now everybody is happy
over the outcome, in fact, It is the
only way to discuss Aerie affairs,
and that is In the hall and not on
the streets, ns some brothers do.
Past Worthy President (Junior)
Dr. Henry Shaw was on hand, and
his wisdom and talk helped consid
erably in bringing an amiable solu
tion of one* of the questJofts that
before the Aerie, but It took Brother
J. W. Bo Wick, Sr., to put the quietus
on what looked like trouble for
awhile, and he showed rare Judg
ment and his motion prevailed.
We were more than pleased tc
have Brother Ammlck get up and
get in some arguments and that's
what we want; that is, get more
brothers interested, and they will
come up regularly and voice their
sentiments on the floor, ns it learns
them to he spellbinders, and we
need lots of them.
The boys always like to hear from
Brother Park, as he Is witty, and
you will always get a smile from his
talks 9.nd if he was to tell some of
his Savannah experiences he would
have the Aerie In an uproar.
If you have a little spare time
go down to the depot today and tell
the brothers who are going to
Providence goodbye, os they are go
ing to represent you In the Grand
Aerie, and there may be something
you might want to ask them t<» do.
Brother Jim Bowick, Hr., was till
smiles Wednesday night as he is a
grandpa now, and says he has an
other cnndlduto to ho Initiated at
some future time ns his son and
daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Bo
wick, were presented with a fine
hoy nt their home, and from all re
ports he is one big boy, and wo
sincerely wish thnt both art doing
fine anil our congratulations to
them
Our Worthy President J. M. Guest
was out of the city Wednesday night
and Brother L. J. Bchaul acted In
his usual peculiar style and carried
the meeting through In a business
like way nnd the boys all got out
early and they are glad of it.
Brother Henry Tyco ns usual was
oti hand, likewise Brother White,
und they are now ready to put on
the work 41a it should he done, nnd
when the weather is a little cooler
they will surprise the brothers as
they are In a position to carry out
their end of the Job, Brother M. O.
Matthews, our Worthy Inside Con
ductor, is back on the Job nnd wo
wish we had more of the brothers
who works ns hard ns he does at all
times, and Is ready whenever called
on. We also have another brother
who can b counted on at nil times,
and that is Brother Charley Mac-
Murphey.

“LADIES' NIGHT" FEATURES MEETING
OF MODERN WOODMEN HERE MONDAY
On Monday night at their camp
room In the K. of P. Hall the mem
bers of Augusta Camp No. 16928,
Modern Woodmen of America, hope
to have one of the greatest get-to
gether meetings that Augusta has
ever known, It will be known as
"ladles night,” and each member Is
expected to bring hla wife or lady
friends. At this meeting the great
campaign begun last week will be
officially opened and with a large
number present It Is hoped that ef
forts put forth by the members of
this camp for new members will
have great effects. The entertain

ance of the royal neighbors, have
planned a very nice program. The

ing every sort of socialist outside
its trained end disciplined ranks.
The government took over fac
tories. uncertain whether It meant
to run them under a quasl-mllitary
discipline or on guild lines as free
communities of workers; It
“smashed" money and discovered
It had no other way of computing
the mutal serviges and obligations
of men. It was touching to see
Benin in the Kremlin In 1920 strug
gling with childish projects for the
"electrification of Russia’’ and un
able to explain what sort of town
centre, if any, his Communist Rus
sia would possess. He had no work
ing ideas that were worth a rap
about this very obvious matter. I
left him, sympathetic with him in
the face of his stupendous task but
a little amazed at his extreme un
preparedness. However, If one may
trust a virulent article by Trotsky
that has Just been published In'
English, he lost his temper at being
asked awkward questions In true
Communist fashion and resorted to
Trotsky for comfort. “Ugh!” said
Benin. "What a perfect petit bour
geois!” and so restored the mental
calm my entirely respectful scepti
cism had ruffled. For in Communist
circles If you can call anyone or
anything "bourgeois,” the question
is settled and discussion is at an
end.
“LUMPBTOGETHER
THE COMPLEX.”
The emptiness of plan, the ex
treme assurance, which distin
guishes modern Communism Is the
secret alike of Its attractiveness In
times of social trouble and Its
futility In constructive effort. It
does not worry the oppressed, the
discontented and the unhappy, with
difficult projects of human read
justment. It lumps together the
complex and various disorders of
social life, the muddle of human
prejudice and Impulses, as one ma
lignant thing, the "Capitalist sys
tem." Destroy this legendary mon
ster and the millennium will ensue.
Instead of overcoming the fool In
Everyman, you must obstruct,
waste sabotage all the current serv
ices of the community. Having
convinced the world that nothing
else will work the dictatorship of
the party will ensue. There could
be no teaching more successful In
a mass meeting and less useful In
a bureau. It gives all the excite
ment and release of a revolution
with none of Its tiresome respon
sibilities.
It Was Marx who created mod
em Communism. It Is the sterile
mule of socialism and a scientific
ambition. Socialism from the days
of Robert Owen onward was a

thing of schemes and projects. It
was perpetually seeking better ar
rangements. Its methods were Uto
pian. But Marx was bitten by an
ambition to rival Darwin; he was
to be the Darwin of social and poli
tical science, with none of Dar
win's modesty nor Darwin's Intel
lectual patience. He had the mind
of a theologian with the pretension
of a scientific enquirer and he had
the dull man's hatred and contempt
for the human Imagination. His
movement was to be "scientific”
with all the magic that world car
ried half a century ago. There was
to be nothing imaginative and no
confounded ideals- It was all to be
fatalistic. It was never going to
plan what would happen because
it was going to know what would
happen. He and his associates pro
duced a very sound and ample
analysts of tho processes of decay
in the business life of the time but
with such ambitions and such re
pudiations they could produce no
scheme of any replacement sys

day. Even Russia has not taught
the Communist the practical need
of Utopias.
O— 0
ATTRACTIVE AT A
CERTAIN LEVEL
At a certain level of Intelligence
party communism Is a very attrac
tive teaching Indeed. Its self-as
surance Is very reassuring. Any
human being not absolutely stupid,
hates to be robbed of freedom and
educational opportunity before
thirteen or fourteen and thruet In
to uncongenial and hopeless toll.
Most employment Is bitter for
young people. At the same time
people whose education Is truncat
ed so soon usually fall to develop
sufficient Intellectual power to un
derstand complex Industrial and
financial processes. They develop
an inferiority complex about such
things that clamours In them for
comfort. Communism embodies
that hate and provides that com
fort. It points to the “capitalist’’
as the oppressor and claims to
furnish In a few phrases all that
needs to be known. In a social
system that educated everyone to
sixteen or eighteen and then gave
a fair wide choice of public service
there would be none of that hate
and that defensive aggressiveness,
that suppressed suspicion of ig
norance and inefficiency that
makes communist controversy so
loud and rude, that has made Mr.
Trotsky so loud and rude. The
marshes In which the cantanker
ous spirit of Communism grows
would be drained and evaporated.
By the theory of Marx Jt was In
the highly developed industrial
system of Western Europe and
particularly In Great Britain that
the Communist Revolution would
first occur. The disconcerting fact
for Communists is that it occurred
In Russia where the industrial or
ganization was at a low level and
there were eighty per cent of Il
literates. In Great Britain nobody
except the enterprising people who
want to raise money from Imbecile
Dukes and rich old ladles even
pretends to be afraid of a Com
munist Revolution.
TELLB OF DREAD
IN AMERICA
There is a considerable dread of
Communist activities in America.
That Is very largely due to an un
easy conscience, aware of a great
maes of unassimilated Immigrant
labor, very unfairly treated and
very Inadequately educated. There
may be some grounds for such ap
prehensions: I will confess I do
not think the present schools and
colleges of America, good enough
and strong enough for the con
structive work they ought to do.
There may be a future for Com -
munlsm there and there will
probably be a big movement
towards Communism In the indus
trial centers of India and China
and Japan. But In Europe I think
that the Communist drive has
passed Its maximum and that the
popular mind is moving onward to |
a mors constructive and hopeful
type of socialism.
Just as art In a phase of extreme
sterility escaped by going back be
hind Raphael and starting afresh
from the rre-Raphnellte phase, so
I think socialism will scon be get
ting behind the unfortunate mis-'
direction of Marx and Engels to be-

JENKINS GOUNTIANS
AWAIT BIG HARVEST
Continued From Page One
kins county cotton crop has been
protected from the boll wseyll.
However, many are being sold
daily and next year will see 75 per
cent of the farmers fighting the
weevil from the time the cotton Is
planted until it Is gathered.
The farmers of this county are
feverishly anticipating a great
harvest but many realize that it
Is too soon to predict as to the
extent of our producion. A week’s
rain would do untold damage, al
though cotton Is opening fast, and
much earlier than last season.
Fields of cotton are now being
picked and many of the farmers
have bales of cotton now ready to
be ginned, but none actually gin
ned so far. A careful survey has
been made of this county, hundreds
of planters have been Interviewed
and it is the prediction of this
correspondent that Jenkins county
will make 9,000 bales of cotton
this year against 5955 last season.
Opinions, however, vary and some
of these will be given below:
J. P. Applewhite, planter and
capitalist, predicts a yield of 8,000
bales for Jenkins county’s mini
mum.
J. F. Bates, cashier Bank of
Millen, predicts a yield of. from
8,500 to 9,500 for the county.
PREDICTS YIELD
OF 10,000 BALES.
D. W. Johnson, cashier First
National Bank, predicts a yield of
from 9,000 to 10,000 bales for the
county.
W. M. Corbett, prominent mer
chant and planter, predicts a yield
of 8,500 bales for this season.
T. J. Gunn, lumberman and
planter, predicts a yield of 9,500
bales.
J. E. Boland, prominent plantet
and candidate for the legislature,
predicts a yield of 7,600 bales for
the county.
E. G. Daniel, merchant and
planter, predicts a yield of 10,800
to 11,000 bales for this county.
G. G. Brinson, planter and'former
postmaster, predicts a yield of
from 8,000 to 10,000 bales for this
year.
A. B. Weeks, merchant and
planter, predicts a yield of 10,000
bales for the county.
Ben A. Neal, editor of The Millen
News, predicts twice the yield of
last year, provided seasons re
main favorable until harvest time.
But as a matter of fact not until
the final cotton ginning report Is
filed will any of our people know
what our yield will be, but the
concensus of opinion Is that It will
be way beyond that of last season.
BEST CORN CROP IN
SEVERAL YEARS.
This county made a corn failure
last year and feedstuffs have been
bought the year round. This coun
ty now boasts of the best corn
crop in several years and instead
■of buying feed it will be able to sell
feed. Fodder pulling for the past
several days has experienced Ideal
weather and considerable fodder
has been saved. Several hundred
acres in velvet beans have been
planted but owing to the shortage

enjoyed. Very little Interest has
been manifested In hog production
in this county for the past two
years. However, considerable
publicity Is being given the “Hog,
Hen and Cow” program and it is
to be hoped that interest in hog
raising shall become manifest
again soon.
There is a considerable Increase
in poultry flocks over the county
and interest in poultry raising
seems to be growing in leaps and
bounds. Co-operative poultry sales
are being held monthly in an ef
fort to further increase interest in
this new Industry.
DAIRY INDUSTRY
GROWING RAPIDLY.
The dairy cow is fast coming in
to her own in this county and al
ready several have been booked
for fall delivery. It is being freely
predicted that scores of others will
Join the score now shipping milk
and cream to various markets in
the state. This industry with the
exception of poultry has made
more strides In the past year than
ever before. More permanent pas
tures are being sown than in the
history of the county and with the
adoption of the “No Fence" law on
January Ist, 1925, this county will
begin to make rapfd progress along
the dairying line.
In an effort to increase interest
in better hogs, poultry and to enjoy
the bountiful harvest which will
be meted out to us the Chamber of
Commerce is sponsoring a Commu
nity Agricultural Fair for Millen
this fall and will be the greatest
undertaking in the history of the
organization. Sufficient stock has
already been sold to assure the
success of the undertaking. A
meeting will be held Monday even
ing, August 11, to decide the date
of the fair, to elect officers and
decide other Important matters. ,
In the beginning and now in the
ending, "Nineteen Twenty Four
—Jenkins County's Best Year.”
