SIS b"c"bon Mystery Tnat VIII

The location Of the earthly paradise

dispute among oricntaiistS ana ScriDtu-
raj scholars OF highest reputation. Some
iaV" oAdCavored 10 locate 1t by tho
iEu!t9 2nd mineral productions named
Ill the H.5!!cai descriptions as they ap-
pear IN The second chapter Of Genesis;
others lay The rivers mentioned in
verses ! 10 II OF tic above mentioned
chapte:. The weight OF investigation
and tradition inrllnes 70 an agreement
ihat the Tigris and the Euphrates of
modern geography arc The third and
fourth rivers NcntiCucd In the Biblical
description Of the garden. Those who
agree 80 far differ widely as 10 what
rivers should now be regarded as the
ancient Pison aud Ciihon. The Bud.
dhi@tic scholars, although they reject
our Bible in tho greater part, Incline to
the opinion t:lat the plsou is the sacred
Gauges, and that the Cihon Is none
other than ,ac Nile. As TO the last. It
IS altogether probable that they are
correct on thar point, because the DibN.

Some Investigations confirm thai
Eden was y spot OF comparatively
small area located oil the tablemnds of
what il now Armenia from which rise
the Tisris and the Euphrates. \ few
scholars OF distinction argue that The
Adamic paradise was located In Africa
Ia the vicinity OF The mountains Of The
Moon. still another school OF oriental.
lists locate the celebrated garden in the
vicinity Of The ancient city uf Babylon
You will notice, however, that none
OF these theorists has been able 10 get
the four rivers mentioned in the Bib
iical account properly located. Neither
have they found n place where one
great river separates into four heads"
This being the case. it is hardly neces

Tenants A Big Factor

Martin V. Colvin in Atlanta

In seeking to wheel into line
nil the cotton producers, the ten.
ants must not Je overlooked.
There are two classes of tenants
cash tenants and share tenan t..
The distinction is, of course, un-
derstood by everybody.
The cash tenants are on II foot
ing with the land owning cotton
producers, that is, they plant
what they please; they cannot
be dictated toby the landlord ;they
must be appealed to just as you
would appeal to the men from
whom they rent.
Share tenants sustain rela-
tionship to the landlord exactly
the reverse of cash tenants. The
landlord can prescribe the acreage
which such tenants shall plant in
cotton, etc. Usually he makes no
requirement except as to cotton.
He contents himself with fixing
