That is what Jesus said voa man who came to Him and indicated that he wished to go to heaven and wished to do the right thingon earth. Isa man lacks one thing he would seem to bein pretty good shape, but sometimes the one thing is the main thing. A sinner may have a great many > sins, but he usually has one overmastering sin. There is a king sin in the life of a sinner. There is one sin that stands out and when that sin goes the other gins go with it. This man who came to Jesus loved money. He was personally clean. He did not drink. He was not an adulterer. He was decent and straight, but he loved money. ‘‘The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil”. This man wanted to do right. He believed in the things that were good, but he loved money. He wentaway from Jesus sorrowful. Money had bim.‘ Money was his god. ‘ ———. \ “This night thy soul shall be% required of thee’’. That is the closing chapter in the earthly life of a man who loved money.‘ Could therich fool have been the young man who came to Jesusl and Jesus told him to sell what he had and he went away SOTTOW: | ful? He may have been the same| man. The rich fool as far as we know was clean morally. Jesus never charged him with any immorality, but Jesus called him a fool, H> ran a farm success fully. He made a bountiful crop | He saved want he made and housed his harvest in new barns, but he died and left it all. Jesus called him a fool. This is the end of chapter two in the book of life of a man who worshipped money instead of God. | “{n hell he lifted up his eyes being in torments’’. This is chapter three. When we write books our last chapter is finished when the hero dies, but God does not write books like we do. The man who went away from Jesus sorrowful because he loved money and hoarded a fortune and lived without God died but Jesus says the rich man went to? hell. Ifaman goes away from God for money he has to go to hell. There is no other place for him to go. Jesus Christ is the very center of heaven, There are respectable men ineviry com~ munity vh) are sociable and clean who are going to hell be~ cause there god is the god of gold.

Wheeler @ounty Eagle | Washington, Aug. 20.—The Senate today rejected the ap~ pointmentof Peyton T. Anderson as postmaster of Macon, and Andrew J. Danie[ as postmaster of Franklin, Georgia. Charging Peyton T. Anderson s a vigorous critic of the ads ministration, Senator Russell (Democrat), of Georgia, today said he would seek to '‘kill”’ the nomination of Anderson as post master of Macen, Georgia. Russell said Anderson, through his newspaper, has developed into one of Georgia’a severest critics of Roosevelt’s policies and that this disqualitied him for the job. Russell said a person has the right to critize the President, but he did not believe critics had the right to ask savers of those they critize. He added: - "It a person wants to criticize the President, he has that right, but I don’t think this same person should turn right around and try and getone of the ad ministration’s top jobs from the person they eriticize.” Russell said he had no per sonal objection to Anderson. “That is the only reason for my obj2ction,”’ he said, “‘and lintend to kill the nomination by objecting to it when it comes up in the Senate for confirma tion.”’ At the request of Russell, Senator McKellar (Democ-at), of Tennessee, chairman of the Senate post office and post roads committee, reported the nomina tion adversely to the Sena‘e. ’ COUNTY’S OLDEST LADY PASSES Mrs. Sallie Rogers, said to be 103 years old, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.

Simon Island, Number 27 PLAN ASSURES 12-CENT Washington, Aug, 22—Stiring sharpand immediate resentment among sounthern senators. the administration tonight annonnc~ ed a government Jloan of 9 cents a pound on the 1935 cotton crop. In setting the loan, the farm administration announced that additional direct grants would be made to assure contract signers a total return of 12 cents on cot ton produced under Bankhead aliotments. The AAA will make payments to cotton farmers, an official an nsuncement said, to equal the difference which may exist be~ tween 12 cents and the average price of 7-8 inch middling cotton in the 10 spot markets from September 1 to January 1. These additional benelit pay ments, the AAA said, will be limited to the individual pro ducer’s actual production up to the amount of his Bankhead allotment, As Chester C. Davis, AAA ad ministrator, and his assistants departed for their homes, ap parently pleased with the final approval of the plan at a White House conference late in the afternoon, sharp repercussions came from the Capitol Hill, Senator George (D., Ga), a leading proponent of a flat 12 cent loan, asserted flatly that President Roosevelt and Secre tary Wallace had ‘‘yielded” to “the shippers and shipping int erests.”’ “The announcement,” said George, ‘‘will be disastrous to the entire cotton growing south.”’ } Adding that details of the com plicated loan plan would merely “confuse” the farmer, George said, I will iiot ask another Southern farmer to sign a con tract with the government.”’ Senator Bankhead (D., Ala.,) author of the Bankhead cotton control act, asserted he thought it was “‘a great' misfortune that the president did not announce a straight 12 cents a pound loan.’y “Os course, it is evident that Secietary Wallace, Chester Davis and cotton shippers won a vica tory,” Bankhead declared, *‘l think the plan will be very con ‘fusing and may cost the govern manta great deal of morey.”’ \ Stating that the plan was ap proved by President Roosevelt, the AAA said the Commodity Credit Corepration will offer a loan of 9 cents a pound at the farm, without a recourse on the borrower, on 13 16 inch low mids dling cotton or better, Circle Meetings The Circles will meet Monday afternoon, at 4 o’clock.
