exceeds avaliable supply, and has
auuounced his inteutiou ol largely

PELHAM, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1924

The investigation put in motiou
by the Seuate Committee at

developments are brought out
from day to day. The results
have been disgrace for all those
who have been tainted.

beeu forced to resign from the
Cabinet. Sinclair is under indict¬
ment. Suit has beeu instituted to

FARMING WITH GOD
Monday afternoon of this week
there was held a very unique and
inspiring service—not in a church
here in Pelham, but out ou a
farm few miles from the city. Some
tweuly five or thirty men and wo¬
men assembled out iu the middle
of a seventy-acre field, aud
singing “How Firm a Foundation,
Ye Saints of the Lord,” led by
pastor W. B. Feagins, of the First
Baptist church, Mr. C. J. Hurst led
iu au able prayer to God for bless¬
ings upon that soil and the crops
to be raised therein, aud upon the
- -
His Holy Altar this fall a “Tenth
of t^e gross proceeds of the entire
crop. Pastor Feagins tbeu read
appropriate scripture from Genesis
and Deuteronomy, Psalms aud
Malachi, showing how God had
promised to bless His people in all
ages when they take Him into
partnership with Him in their busi
ness, showing how God has com¬
manded us to “tithe” of the seeds
we plant in the fields, and houor
Him with the first fruits of all our
substance. After making a few
remarks on the scripture read and
about the occasiou that had brou¬
ght us together, the pastor then
led iu a prayer of dedication to
God of the laud leased for farm
ing, iu all about oue hundred and
forty acres, the two brethren, L A.
Shepherd - and J. N McKenzie
agreeing to lay on God’s alter a
“tenth” of the gross proceeds this
fall. Appropriate words were also
spoken briefly by C. J. Hurst aud
A. G. Ott. All told, it was an
unique service, but in keepiug
with the letter aud spirit of God’s
eternal Word. It is the prophecy
of a better day! It will prove to be
the ONLY thing that will exter¬
minate the Boll Weevil! God says
if we will bring ALL the “tithe”
into his store house aud prove Him,
that He will rebuke the DEVOUR
UR of our crops(See Malachi 3:
7 15) The question is, Do we be¬
lieve God’s Word? Are there other
farmers in Mitchell county who
want a similar service? Will you
farm with God this year according
to the teaching of the BOOK? 1
shall be glad to go ANYWHERE
to dedicate farm-laud to God, and
show the people what God’s word
has to say concerning these thiugs
that have destroyed our crops in
recent years and just WHY He has
permitted it. Why not, before you

PELHAM MAY HAVE
PAVED STREETS
Mr. C- Q. Wright, a prominent
highway engineer of Albany, was
a very interesting visitor at the
regular meeting of the town coun¬
cil Wednesday night.
Mr Wright laid befote the body
a plau whereby it is hoped that
Pelham tnay secure a considerable
amount of paving at very low cost,
by using funds from the state aud
federal government that may pos
sibly become available for that pur
pose.
His plan met with considerable
enthusiasm, aud it is hoped that
his visit may be the beginuitig of a
movement that will give us pave¬
ment ou our main streets and prin
pal roads at au early date.
DAUGHERTY RESIGNS ON
PRESIDENT’S REQUEST
Harry M. Daugherty passed out
of public life Friday in a tem¬
pest that terminated befittingly
his three stormy yearsas attorney
general.
His appointment to the cab¬
inet by President Harding was
the subject of criticism, and
his resignation came at the
virtual demaud of President
Coolidge and in the midst of
isatian-producing senate
President Coolidge asked for the
resignation because he felt he could
not depend on Mr. Daugherty for
disinterested advice and because
he belived the attorney general
could not perform satisfactorily the
duties of his office under the con
dition resulting from the senate in¬
quiry.
Mr. Daugherty tendered his re
siguatiou “sole out of deference”
to the president’s request and asked
that it be effecive at oue.
This is the second cabinet mem
ber to be forced out because of
either misconduct or neglect
brought out in the Teapot Dome
inquiry. A few criminal prosecu
tions would be a mighty good
thing just now.
plowed each morning, assemble
your hands in the field and open
the day with prayer? It is as sac¬
red a thing to farm as it is to
preach. The man who tills the
soil is as much under obligation
to farm that soil for the glory of
God as it is for this scribe to preach
the Gospel from the pulpit. No
body but a fool would deny this.
God bless L. A. Shepherd and
J, N. McKenzie iu this blessed
Divine partnership they have for¬
med with the Almighty this year!
VVe shall pray daily for these men
aud their men and their hands, and
these farms they are working this
year, for God’s glory and man
kind’s good. God bless ALL
our good farmer folk in Mitchell
county! You have a friend in this
preacher who prays for you daily,
and wants to show you “the way
out” of another year’s failure,
from God’s Eternal Truth. Will
you command me? I am READY i
to go to your fields any day. !
Phone me. Come to see me
