'HEREAFTER,
“1 am an evolutiontionist and I
believe the Bible’’, that is what
a preacher said to the writer one
time. He was wrong. No man who
knows what the Bible teaches
and who knows the evolutionary
hypothesis can accept both. The
Bible and evolution are diametri
cally opposed. Evolution teaches
that there is in plants, animals,
and humanlifean inherent tend
ency toward improvement. The
Bible teaches that there is a
tendency toward decadency.
Every potanist knows that alter
p'ants have been improved by
human cultivation it they are left
alone they will revert to the
parental stock. The Bible teaches
that man has an inherent evil
tendency. "When I would do good
evil is present’’. That has been
the experience of every honest,
intelligent man. ‘‘We are born
in sin”. "We were conceived in
iniquity”.
Modern education takes tbe
side of evolution instead of the
Bible. It teaches that children
are fundamentally good and that
all children need is the proper
training. The Bible teaches that
culture cannot save. ‘ The flesh
profiteth nothing’ .The new birth
is a necessity. Educated flesh
and uneducated flesh are just the
same in the sight of God If edu
cation could save a nation,
Germany would have been saved.
It takes regeneration. Man must
receive from God a new nature
We do not have to go to the
Bible to find human depravity
taught. The Bible teaches it but
all intelligent thinkers have ob
served that man has in his sou,
an evil tendency. Plato repudiat
ed the idea that man was natur
ally good. He argued that if a
man were naturally good all that
was necessary to keep him pure
was to let him live alone, but be
said that experience shows that
a man alone still manifests evil
tendency. Goethe said. "I see no
fault committed which I, too,
jhaaight not have committed’ . Dr.
Johnson said, “Every man knows
tbatof himself which he dare not
tell his dearest friend”. Cicero
said, “Nature has given us faint
sparks of knowledge. Weexten
guish them by our immoralities”.
Plato said, “The cause of corrup
tion is from our parents so that
we never relinquish our evil way
or escape tbe blemish of our evil
habits.” Seneca said, “We are all
wicked. What one blames in an
other he finds in.bis own bosm.
We live among the wicked our
selves being wicked”. Ovid said,
“I see things that are better and
approve them yet I follow the
worst”. Aristotle said, “Man is
on a slope with his appitites and
passions gravitating downward.
Heknowshe oughttogo upward,
but there is something in him
that drags him downward”. The
Biole explains what all these men
found, that is, man was born in
sin. In Adam all died. The only
hope for a sin-cursed, depraved
human race is tbe cleansing blood
of Jesus Christ and tbe regen
erating power of God.

BYRNES DEFENDS i
COTTON PROJECT
Greenville, S C., Aug. 30—
Senator James F. Byrns said in
an address here tonight that
southern cotton growess “nave
everything to gain and nothing
to lose” if they will cooperate
with the government “to avail
themselves of the 10 cent loan in
stead of dumping their cotton.’ -
The junior South Carolina
senator’s address was made over
radio.
“If they borrow thelOcents
per pound and the crop is mark
eted in an orderly manner, cotton
is bound to increase in value,’’
said the junior South Carolina
senator, who in the dying days '
of the recent congressional ses- !
sion secured a compromise in the I
government’s cotton marketing
policy whereby 10 cents rather :
than 9 and a guarantee of 12 cents ।
p r pound is assu red the grower. I
“The cotton loan program this
year,” said Senator Byrnes, is I
substantially as follows: |
“During the crop ytar, the i
farmer will receive a loan of 10 I
cents, based upon low middling (
seventh eights cotton. The loan '
will bear interest at four per
cent, as was the case last year.
“In addition to the 10 cents
1 loan, tbe farmer will receive an
' adjustment payment equal to the
difference between 12 cents and
c the average price at which mid
' dling seven eighths cotton sold
1 on the 10 designated spot mark
-1 ets on the day that the farmer
sold his cotton. In other words,
if the farmer on yesterday, the
’ 20th, sold middling seven eighths
cotton for 10 1-2 cents, he now
can make a claim for 1.45 per
pound which represents the dis
ference between 12 cents and
the price at which middling
seven eighths cotton sold on the
10 designated spot markets yes
terday, which was 10.85 cents
per pound.
“The loan is made on the basis
of low middling seventh eights
cotton, because that was the
basis fixed for loans last year. In
the case of the bounty, or adjust
ment payment, the basis is mid
dling seven eighths cotton be
caus'> quotations on the ten
designated spot markets arc
I
based upon middling seven
eighths cotton.
“If a farmer produces extra
staple cotton o r has cotton
,of a grade better than
middling seven eighths, he will
receive a premium from the buy
er who purchases his cotton. If
he sold yesterday the adjustment
payment be receives will be 1.42
cents per pound in addition to
the premium that he receives
because of the superior grade of
his cotton. In other words, even
though he received yesterday,
because of the superior grade of
his cotton, a price in excess of
10.58 cents, he will receive an
adjustment paymentequal to the
difference between 10.58 and 12
cents
“On the other hand, tbe man
who yesterday sold his cotton
grading lower than middling
seven eighths will, of course, re
ceive less from the buyer than
the price of middling seven
eighths. The bounty of 1.42 cents
per pound, however, will be added
to whatever price he received for
his cotton.
“The farmer can borrow 10
cents per pound upon all of the
cotton he produces, regardless!
of the Bankhead allotment.
“However, be cannot receive the i
bounty or adjustment payment 1

Wimberly-Coleman
A marriage marked by charm
ing simplicity and one of interest
to many friends throughout this
section was that of Miss Mary
Lee Wimberly, and Mr, William
R. Coleman, of Alamo, which was
solemnized at 2 o’clock Thurs
day, August 29, at the home of
the bride in Scotland.
Rev. C. A. Morrison, pastor of
the Scotland Methodist church,
performed the ceremony in the
presence of members of the two
families. Palms, ferns and bask
ets of white lilies formed the
decorations in the home.
The bride, a blonde, was at
tired in a fall traveling ensemble
of brown metalasse crepe with
brown and white hat and ac
cessories, and she wore a corsage
of sweetheart roses and lilies of
the valley.
Immediately after the cere
mony the couple left for a wed
ding trip to points in Florida, on
their return will make their
home in Towns, where Mr.
Coleman is superintendent of
the Towns High school.
The bride is the only daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Wimberly
of Scotland. She is a graduate of
Mcßae High school and attened
Wesleyan college. Mr. Coleman
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Coleman of Alamo. He was
graduated from the Alamo High
school and latter attended the
University of Georgia.
except upon his actual produc
tion, not exceeding the Bankhead
allotment.
At the time the farmer makes
his claim for an adjustment pay -
ment, he mustagree to cooperate
in the curtailment program of
next year. Statements that there
will be a 50 per cent reduction
are unfounded. There has been
no determination ot what that
program will be and there will be
nodetermination until there is
clearer information as to the size
of this crop and as to the de
mands for the crop.”

He laid down his views before
he sailed for France with his
wife, Dorothy Thomnson, and
added:
“The New Deal has accom

any one else has suggested dur
