SALVATION PLAN
ALMOST TOO SIMPLE
SIMPLICITY OF STUMBLING BLOCK
IN WAY OF "WlsE ONES"
SAYS EVANGELIST.

Forty-three received to date at Main
Street Baptist Church and the meet
ing goes on. Sermon in part follows:
"The early Christian Confession"
was very simple and embraced the bare
fundamentals of salvation. The stun
bling block of many a wise one" has
been the simplicity of the way of sal
walton. The human mind naturally
likes to put on frills and furbelows
and makes things complex and difficult.
But the simple way of salvation taught
by Christ and the Apostles were per.
sonal trust of the soul to Jesus, the
Son of God. This Is the vital spot OF
the Christian faith. Not church mem.
bership nor ceremonies can take the
place of this. Many "side-step" the
real thing and try to make up for this
spiritual lack by multiplying forms and
ceremonies. But "still stands thine
ancient sacrifice, a broken and con
trite heart and the souls reliance o.
Jesus Christ"

PERMANENT DEFENsEs NEVER

Paris, Oct 1.-THE military conse-
quences of the fall of Antwerp are not
as great as the lesson to be learned
therefrom of the futility of permanent
Notifications.
This opinion is expressed by Lieut..
Col. Rousset, who says it will be neces.
sary to abandon entirely this sort Of
defense and replace it with rude works
of easy and quick construction which
can be placed anywhere according to
the need of the hour. -srr:g.
Forts Never Saved Country.
Then, he says, shells, because of the
absence of resistance, would cause only
small damage. Never, he declared, has
country been saved by it's fortifca-
tions, while there are those whose for
tresses have been their ruin.
ITO speak only of that which con.
Germs us" Lieut.. Col. Rousset con
tinues, cit is permissible to affirm that
if Metz had been in 1870 an open city
Bazaine would not have sent forth
from there his magnificent army, fol
the subsequent loss of which he was
condemned to death and did actually
suffer Imprisonment.
Effective Armies Needed.
Belgium believed itself protected by
its triple barrier of Liege, Namur, ant
Antwerp. Alas! it was not. No more

are published today, have aroused spe

of heavy siege operations later in th'

Germans Start Another Advance on Paris
WEIR PLAN FOR
COTTON RELIEF IS
GOVERNMENT LOAN
FOUR PER CENT MONEY WITH so
PER CENT ACREAGE REDUc-
TIoN HIS SUGGESTION.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 14.-Let the
National government lend the farmers,
through the national banks, money at
: per cent interest for twelve months,
with the right of renewal, and the pro.
vision that they do not plant more
than fifty per cent Of their acreage in
cotton next year, this, in brief is the
plan proposed by Gov. Brewer for the
relief of the southern cotton growers
In view of the present situation.
Gov. Brewer last night received a
telegram from Washington newspa.
per asking for his views on the cotton
situation, his ideas as to how it can
might wish to make. The governor
replied as follows:
Perfect Safety in Plan.
"The war has demoralized the mar
ket for cotton, exchanges all out OF
business, and the situation is working
a tremendous hardship upon the cotton
growers, advantage is being taken of
him during this decentralization and the
only government capable of coping
with this situation and furnish him re.
lief is the federal government. This
is perfectly easy to do, can be done
with perfect safety to the government
and all that is necessary is a desire
on the part of the individual members
of congress to help the cotton farmers.
"lt can be done this way: first, re-
quire the farmer to place his bale of
cotton in warehouse and obtain an
insurance policy on it in a solvent
company insuring it against loss or
damage from any cause. Then let the
tional banks, an amount far below the
cost of production at four per cent
for twelve months with the right of
the borrower to renew the loan for
twelve months longer and if desired
may put a proviso in the loan that If
he plants more than fifty per cent Of
the acreage in elton than he planted
this year for next year the loan shall
Immediately become due.
Security is Gilt Edged.
"The government could not possibly
lose, but this would be guilt edge Sc
curity. This would give the farmer
the money long enough to enable him
to cope with the situation and at a
low rate of interest. 1t is foolish for
farmer to hold his cotton and borrow
money from bank at eight or ten per
cent to carry it until the war closes, or
until the decentralization ceases and
reason resumes is sway"
Gov. Brewer is already on record as
unalterably opposed to the passage
of any laws seeking to have the effect
of entirely eliminating the planting OF
cotton next year, believing that 1t
would not only be unconstitutional
but in violation of personal rights OF
owners of land to do what they please
with their holdings. When appealed
to to call an extra session of the legis-
lature to frame such statute he has
repeatedly stated that he would not
do So While he has little hope that
congress will pass any law along the
lines he suggests he believes it to be
feasible and meritorious plan to re-
lieve the situation in the South.
