A Lesson Of A Blackberry Patch!

Twelve years ago the mother of Mr.. W. 5.
William, of Atlanta, observed bright, ambl'
tious young white girl working in one OF the
blackberry patches of Troupe county. In
woman's sympathetic language she suggested
to her son that this girl, eager for an education
naturally refined, but absolutely barred from
development by her poverty, be afforded an OPP
portunity to get an education.
The girl was sent to the Lagrange Female
College, and, in course of time, repaid every
cent that had been advanced for her course. SO
amply did her progress and her gratitude vim
dictate the judgment of her benefactor, that Mr..
Witham argued if he could thus help one girl
why not others? So he established, about ten
years ago. loan fund of $4,000 available to
poor girls desiring to enter the LAGRANGE in
stitution, and regulated on the same broad lines
of ayment obtaining in the case of the girl
from the berry patch. In the subsequent
twelve years more than ONE HUNDRED
girls have been the ben6ciaries of this benign
philanthropy; the principal fed by interest pay
NETS from borrowers, has grown to $4,000.
And in the meantime, the little blackberry pick
err has become one of the most conspicuous fig
ures in the educational ranks of Georgia.
The constitution news columns of the last
few days told of how the results of his first ex-
pertinent have inspired Mr.. Witham to further
philanthropy which, while preserving the self
respect and stimulating the energies of poor
young Georgians will help hundreds of them
along the road to education and substantial citi-
zenship. He has established in the last week
three loans similar in operation to the LAGRANGE
loan-one of $1,000 to Young L. G. Harris Col
1ege; another of the same amount to Rheinhardt
College, Wau1eska, Ga, and third of $1,000 to
the Cornelia High School, Corne1ia, Ga.
Mr.. Witham who is we'll known here is one
of the most active business men in the state,
but he finds plenty time for philanthropic work.
He has large income now and he is using his
fortune to the very best advantage. It is I'M
derstood by those who know him most intimate
ly that his excellent wife exercises a splendid
influence over him in many of his most generous
acts We predict that w. S. Witham will leave
great ma me and splendid example for young
business men of the state. But like all men of
character and who accom- plished great deal he
is often criticised and some times abused.

NJ V. Richards in the Southern Farm Mag
azine of Baltimore for January:
Agriculture has had past, and it has flu
ture. The products of the land are increasing
in value each succeeding year. The lonesome
ness of the farm is disappearing through regu-
lar connection and touch with the world by
means of free delivery of the mails, telephones
and better roads. The trolley service, too, is
destined to add its portion to the advantage of
country life as time goes on.
Farmers are not all disposed to recognize
their high calling. farm is like great paint
ing, poem an anthem. We can study
and admire daily and hourly, and each time the
subject presents something new and pleasing
and instructive. A deep.rooted knowledge of
the histories of the farm can only be learned by
persistent study and experiment. Agriculture
is the most needful calling in the world. The
production of all wealth in its original form
comes from the eaAth. To the farmers the
world looks for food and clothing. We're the
farms of the earth to fail for single year, fam
inc would fairly sweep away the human race.
The world always stands within year of star
walton. The farmer is the only person able 20
ward off the appalling danger.
The tendency in this age looks back to the
soil. The man with quarter-section of land
has heritage, for the possibilities of agricul-
ture multiply New grains and fruits and veg
etables and grasses are being created, and old
varieties are being made better. The opening
for students and workers on the farm are limit
less in nu mber and boandless in results Get
the boys to stay on the farm; the girls will stay
If the religion of Jesus Christ was a myth
and hell but horrible ha1lucinatiou, the won
derful life of the lowly Nazarene as taught from
our pulpits would still be the mainstay and
safeguard of our moral life. Coute mplate for
moment what this world would be without it.

There is no state law, yet, against the use of
