\iy definition of wisdom:
"Wisdom is the ability to use
knowlege so as to meet success
fully the emergencies of life.
We read in the book of Prove, os
that wisdom comes from God. In
the book of James we read that
if an man lack wisdom, let him
ask God for it In view of the
quotations from God’s Wo d, we
must conclude that the man who
leaves God out of his life is not a
wise man I. personally, would
not trust the advice of an atheist
in an hour of emegency.
Governor Bibb craves, of
Alabama, who is vice president
of the Board of Trustees of the
Bob Jones College and who has
been my personal friend for a
great many years, has been
twice inaugurated governor ot
Alabama. It was not my privilege
to be in Montgomery for the
inaugu ral cere monies either lime
I have read with much interest
Governor Graves recent in
augural address I was profound
ly impressed with the religious
tone of his message. At one place
in his speech he said in sub
stance, “Jesus Christ, the great
tea-her who I believe is the Son
of God and whom I am trusting
for salvation for time and eter
nity, has said "1 consider
this s-atemeht ode of tn/ most
striking that I have ever known
any man to make on a gre.it st./
occasion. I is possibly for gov
ernors, senators, presidents, and
all men in authority who are
Christians to give their personal
testimony on practically all oc
casions and to do it in such a
way as to give no off nee and at
the same time accomplish great
good. A governor’s words have
great weight. Jesus aid that if
we would confess Him before
men He will confess us before
our Father in heaven. Gove nors,
prominen men, and all people
will some day ne. d Jesus to ay
a good word for them If we say
a good word for Him down here,
He has p mmisi d to say a good
word for us up there.
Recently Dr. Howard Kelly of
Baltimore in a letter to the presi
dent of the Bob Jones College
said that he was greatly inter
ested in the work and orthodox
testimony of the Bob Jones Col
lege. Dr Kelly is one of the
greatest geniuses in the medical
world. He is not only a great
surgeon, but he is a great
scientist. He is a profound
scholar. He knows the Bible as
few men know it It has been my
privilege to have fellowship with
him in his office and discuss with
him some of the great truths of
God's Word I understand that
Dr. Ke ly spends as much as two
hours a day in the study of the
Book of Books. It is refreshing
to come in contact with a man of
Dr. Kelly’s ability and profound
scholarship and to find that he
stands with the evangelical
orthodox crowdin America Some
of the “half baked” modernistic
teachers of science would do well
to sit at the feet of men like Dr.
Howard Kelly and Sir Ambrose
Flemming, one of the greatest
scientists of Great Britain, who
recently in his presidential ad
dress to the Victoria Institute
and Philosophical Society de
clared that he does not believe in

RUSSELL CHANGE IN
RELIEF BILL ADOPTED
Washington, Feb. 18. —The
Russell farm amendment to
| Pt esident Roosevelt's $4,800,000,-
1000 work relief bill was adopted
। >y tin senate onday afternoon,
las favorably reported by the
[senate appropriations commit
tee, to which it was originally
presented by the Georgia sena
tor.
The amendment authorizes the
President to use so much of the
fund as may be necessary to fi
nance the purchaseof farm lands
for tenant farmers, share-crop
pers and farm laborers.
In this respect the Russell
amendment is similar to the
Bankbead bill now pending in
the agricultural committee,
which provides for the creation
of a government owned corpora
tion to finance the purchase of
farm lands.
Senator Russell took the floor
when his amendment was reach
ed in the consideration of the
bill and explained with such force
and clarity that i; encountered
so little opposition as to make a
record vote unnecessary.

ALAMO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1935
Mr. H. A. Knopf Has
Returned Home Well
Mr, H. A. Knopf, who has been
away for the past few months
receiving taeatment from a
specialist in Virginia, returned
home last week, looking much
improved in health. He had been
suffering with a tumor on his
head for a long time and finally
deciding to try this specialist,
after exhausting all other re
medies, and is sound and well
again. He gained several pounds
in weight and is again himself.
While away he visit 'd Wash
ington, which was only a short
distance from the home of his
son, with whom he was staying.
He called on our Congressman,
Hon. Hugh Peterson in Washing
ton, and was shown through the
principal places in Washington
and states that his stay was very
plea'ant.
His many local friends are glad
to have him back and delighted
to learn that he has been restored
to health and vigor.
Smokehouse Thieves Busy Again
Thieves unknown to Mr. G. W-
Evans, living a lew miles west of
Alamo, entered his smokehouse
one night recently and carted
away a large quantity of meat.
In fact, it is understood that
they were not in the least con
siderate of Mr. Evan’s future
needs, but appropriated to them
selves his entire supply. It is
understood that he butchered
some fine hogs recently, but he
will not have the privilege of en
joying them now.
We have heard no clue to the
thieves, and as in some ocher
cases, of this kind, only the
memory remains of his well
stocked pantry. Mr. Evans is one
ol our best known citizens and
al sympathize with him in this
loss. Even if he had been left a
portion of his meat he could have
felt better over the loss.

Valentine party in the Wheeler
County High school gymnasium,
which was beautifuflly decorted
in the lovely valentine colros.
The music was rendered by

and harp. Many interesting
games were played, and Miss
Jennie Clair Meadows and Mr.
J. T. Sanders as our chaperons
helped to make the evening more
enjoyable. Delicious punch and
sandwiches were served, and
everyone had a good time. We
are all looking toward to another

11. S. BRUNO USE
ww
Washington, Feb. 17. —Bruno
Richard Hauptmann cannot name
an accomplice in the kidnaping
and murder of the Lindbergh
baby, because there is nene.
This is the firm conviction of
Department of Justice officials
who wrote “closed” on their rec
ords of the most celebrated case
in the annals of American crim
inology.
For the Department of Justice
the Lindbergh kidnaping has
been solved and ended —has been,
in fact, since Haptmann's arrest
and discovery of the ransom
bills.
Persistent reports, growing
steadily since the German car
penter’s conviction and sentence
to death, that he is shielding
someone whose name may escape
his lips as time draws him inevit
ably closer to the electric chair,
stir not a ripple in government
anticrime circles.
Attorney General Homer S.
Cummings is reluctant to com
ment on any phase of the Lind
bergh kidnaping. He will not dis
cuss the verdict or the part his
men played in the search for the
slayer and his ultimate convic
tion. But there was every indi
cation he was satisfied with the
outcome.
The Fallacy of Free Money
The American public has come
to look on the Federal govern
ment as a financial Santa Claus,
which goes on forever distribut
ing the bounty of “free money”
for one purpose or another. One
of the proudest boasts of many
elected officials is that thoy have
been able to get this appropria.
tion or that for their state.
Current plans call for an ex
pinditure of some $5,000,000,000
for public works by the Federal
government. Much of this great
sum will be distributed to the
states, to spend for roads, relief,
dams, public buildings or some
other public purpose. Alien the
money has been spent, citizens
will look at the imposing court
house or superhighway or what
ever it created and think happily
that it cost them nothing—that
magical foreces at play in Wash
ington produced the money out
of the air and kindly passed it
on.
Well, that $5,000,000,000 will
be raised through the sale of
Federal bonds. These bonds
amount to a mortage on every
piece of property in the nation —
every home, farm, factory or in
vestment. If the $5,000,000,000 is
divided by the number of Con
gressional districts in the coun
try, the share for each district
amounts to about $1'2,000,000.
Every nickel of that money must
be paid back by the American
people through taxation—and
they must pay, in addition, many
hundreds of millions more in
interest on the government
bonds. Probably few Congres
sional districts would burden
themselves with a $12,000,000
bond Issue if it were proposed to
vote such a debt against the
district.
Unhappily, there is no such
thing as a finant ial Santa Claus
—the tax money put in our stock
ings is taken out of our pocket
books—plus interest.

peas. Let us know when you are

Alamo P.-T. A. Holds
Interesting Meeting
On the first Thursday in
February, the Alamo P. T. A.,
had its usual monthly meeting,
Mrs. Hurwitz, Mrs. Currie, Mrs.
D. L. Perdue, Mrs. J. 11. Sears,
Mrs. G. C. Crosby and Mrs. R.
G. Jenkins, served delicious re
freshments as the members
gathered for the program.
After the devotional by Mrs.
Flander*--, the following program
was given honoring Sidney
Lanier, our chief Georgia poet.
1. The life of Sidney Lanier —
Yvonne Hartley.
2. Lanier's courtship —Miss
McElroy.
3 The story of tne Chattoho
cohee —Millie Weitmon.
4. A seliction from the marshes
of G'ynn—Lois Pope.
5. Other interesting things
about Lanier —Mrs. Ridley.
To learn how Lanier lived, how
kind he was, even though be
suffered hardships helped to
interpret the real beauty of his
works.
During the business meeting
the minutes were read and ap
proved. The finance committee
for December reported a con
tinious rummage sale, it was
conducting and asked everyone
who could to contribute old
clothe etc., forthissale.
The January and February
committees reported that they
are planning a joint moneymaking
scheme, bj’ which they hoped to
share their share of money for
the play ground equipment.
A new refreshment committee
was reported for March, Mrs.
W. O Purser, Mrs. George
Adderholt, Mrs. Monroe Clem
ents, Mrs. J. F. Geiger, Mrs. W.
P. Owens, and Mrs. H. N. Sears.
The fifth grade won the dollar
and bought books for the room
library.
It was decided that the ques
tion to think about this month
is. “If I had my choice where
would I rear my children, in the
country or in a city?” What do
you think? Come and tell it at
the meeting, the first Thursday
in March. Every one is welcome
—and you might help your child’s
room to get the dallar.
Local School Trustee Election
Mrs. 11. R. Hill, county school
superintendent, announces an
election to be held at the court
house in Alamo on March 4th,

the Alamo consolidated school
district, succeeding R. G. Per
due and J. Mcßae Clements,
whose terms have expired
It is the privilege of every
qualified voter in this district to

tofore very little interest has
been manifested in the election

choice to fill these vacancies.
Tickets will be prapared and a
list of names, as heretofore, will
be placed on the ticket and the
voters will have fheir choice of

ness, caused from an abcessed
tooth. He was taken to the Ogle

Saturday where the tooth was
extracted and is low thought to
be improving, and is expected to
be ableto returnhome next Sun
day.

WIRED GOLD RULINGS
Washington, Feb. 18.—The
government won a smashing
victoi y today in the long awaited
gold cases in the Supreme Court
—but by the narrowest possible
margin, 5 to 4.
A bare majority of the court
upheld the right of Congress to
abrogate the gold cluse in
seventy five billion dollars in
private bonds, and held that the
udders of Liberty Bonds and
gold certificates, having suffered
no loss in the devaluation of the
dollar, connot demand payment
in gold or its equivalent in the
devalued paper dollar, $1.69 to
$1
Chief Justic Hughes read the
majority decisions, and was sup
ported by Justice Brandes, Stone,
Roberts and Cardozo.
Associate Justice Mcßeynolds,
long noted for his conservatism
on the bench, read the dissenting
opinions, and was supported by
Justices Van Devanter, Souther
land and Butler.
Justice Stone differed with the
conclusions in one case, but sup
ported the majority in its verdict.
This was the case involving John
M. Perry, New York lawyer,
who had demanded either pay
ment in gold or its equivalent in.
paper money, at the new rate,
for his Fourth Liberty Bonds.
The 5 to 4 divison was revealed
after the reading of the majority
opinions had been concluded.
It was a familar division, 5 to
4. for the court has so divided on
a number of important i.-sues,
with usually the same justices
on the different sides of the
questions.
