Free Speech Denied.

Greenwood Journal.
We learn from The Baptist Rec
ord of Jackson, Mississippi, that the
newspapers Of Atlanta have closed
their columns to the ministers and
the people who have been workIn;,
to better conditions in that city.
We quote the following editorial de-
liverance from The Record:
The Christian Index says that
the men and religion movement in
Atlanta has helped to clean up the
city of its segregated vice district,
and other forms of crime, but when
they undertook to expose the viola
tion of the prohibition laws by clubs
which sell liquor they suddenly
found the columns of the daily pa
pers closed to them. 1t seems a burn
ing shame that the daily press
should side with the lawless. This
is part OF what The Index says: The
good people of Atlanta and Of Geor-
gia have come to the parting of
ways. Free speech is denied the
leading ministers and laymen of At
lanta by the daily papers, because
their money cannot buy their space
to expose lawlessness and sin.
Brewers and liquor dealers the coun-
try over can buy all the space they
want to advertise their wares, but
godly men cannot have IL at any
price to expose the sins of the city
and state, lest they hurt their mate
rial prosperity. There has never
been time like this in the history
of the city of Atlanta. We submit
that the denial of free speech, by
refusing to sell space in which to
express it, and the effort to cover up
the sins Of Atlanta, will hurt the
city thousand fold more than the
exposure and correction Of her SINS
It IS a pretty bad state of affairs
when the bad element have free ac-
cess to the newspapers in the way
of liquor ads and the support of
clubs which are nothing more than
barrooms, and when the pretense of
injuring a city is given as an excuse
for not exposing vice. Vice and
crime covered up are far more hurt
full than when they are exposed. The
thing to do is to turn on the light
for crime flourishes only in the dark
and under protection.

Erecting the Supcrstructurc.


Baptist Courier.
The real superstructure Of an ed
ucation is erected by ones own per-
sonal and individual efforts. Some
men have done this with very little
or no previous preparation in the
way OF foundation, notably George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln and
Michael Farady.
Some men acquire an education
and their intellectual powers are de-
veloped by the work in which they
are engaged. Some enterprises re-
quire thought, constant observation.
and concentration. Also contact with
nature and with human nature or
with great principles OF life assist
materially and wonderfully in the
erection of this superstructure.
But contrast with great books is
one Of the best and surest of helps.
Even the very greatest Of men ac-
knowledge their indebtedness to the
use of books.
Instruments are shaJpened by con-
tact with hard metals. And minds
are made keen and bright by con-
slant application to the thoughts of
others.
Keep a few great books right at
hand and feed upon them every day.
In this way the superstructure must
be built.

. LET'S STOP PLANTING SCRUB
SEED. 1
The Progress Farmer.


What's the use, Mr.. Progressive
Farmer, of waiting until next spring
to select your seed corn when you
can do the work 80 much more ef-
fectively now? what's the use Of
planting gin run. badly mixed cotton
seed when, by field selection now.
you can make sure OF supply Of
pure seed for planting next year?s
We do zot claim that pure seed
will double yields; out we are GER
tain that by getting the variety apf
cotton or corn best suited to your
conditions and Housekeeping it pure
by careful selection, you can increase
your yields from 10 to 80 or even
40 per cent. In other worlds, good
seed will mean an Increase per acre
of from two to twelve or fifteen
bushels Of corn and of from so to
ESQ pounds of seed cotton Aren't
these Increases werth working for:
In selecting seed there are severaf
points that it is we'll to bear in mind.
Some Of these-are;
I. Choose variety best adapted
to your local conditions A variety
of corn or cotton wSn suited to the
western Carolina. Tennessee, or
Arkansas may, on account of differ
ent climatic conditions, be very
poor variety for South Georgia,
Florida, and all the Gulf coast coun-
try. Here is where our state expert
ment stations can hep Us. True,
they may not always be able to name
the particular variety that will prove
best for our conditions; but they can
name the three or four varieties that
have done best, and from these a
good yielding selection can DE made.
2. Hold constantly in mind the
ideal type. In other words, once
the desirable characteristics of n
variety have been settled upon, In
making future selections see that
they are made only from plants pos
sessing what are the most nearly
ideal qualities.
3. Plant a seed patch every year.
1t is manifestly impracticable to
hand-select each year sufficient seed
to plant our whole crop the next
year; but it is comparatively easy to
carefully select enough to plant an
acre or SO. Then from this seed plat
selections can he made again for the
next years sceu Ilat, while the gen.
eral run of seed can be used for the
whole crop next year.
A. Avoid mixing after harvesting.
With cotton seed, however, careful
ave may be in selecting seed in the
field, 1t is simply impossible to keep
them pure with our present ginning
methods. Where small handpower
gin is not available, probably the
best plan will be to hold the selected
cotton in the seed until the rush gin
ming season is over, and then have
the ginner clean out the roll and
clean up thoroughly to prevent any
other variety getting mixed with
ours.
8. Avoid losses in stored seeds
Weevils and rats particularly should
be kept away from seed corn, and 1t
Is important that the cotton seed be
kept dry and not allowed to heat.
To carry out these suggestions VIII,
be neither difficult nor expensive,
and doing so will mean better SEED,
bigger yields and larger profits This
being true, can you any longer afford
to plant scrub seeds?-

; THE PENALTY OF WEALTH. 1
Columbia Record.

SoiuiuDla RECORD.
For the first time in it's history the
United States leads the world as an
exporter Occasionally 1t has sur
passed the United Kingdom in the
expectation of domestic products, but
1t was only in the flscal year ended
June 80, 1915, that the total Ameri-
can exports, domestic and foreign,
exceeded those of the United King
dom.
The total exports in the fiscal year
1915 aggregated $2,768.6OO,OOO, a r.
against $2,17O,1OO,OOO for the Uni.
ted Kingdom, the figures represent
ing in the case of the United States
an increase of II per cent and in
the case of the United Kingdom a
decrease of 80 per cent. when COM
pared with last year
The growing excess of trade and
the balance of wealth in our favor,
will cause the United States to be
ever shining mark in an increasing
degree. Envy is now strong in the
breasts of certain European powers.
Therefore it is necessary that the
protective abilities and facilities of
this country should be increased.
We need no standing army of half
lied, seasoned, disciplined home re-
serve that could be modified as read
lily as the minute men of 1776. It
is the home of the wealthy that ex-
cites the cupidity of the burglar And
in like manner the United States
from now on must have her burglar
alarms and her other protective
measures.
For we are on the defensive, NOR
ally IL not actually.
Efforts are making in all the states
to place the National Guard in 4
condition which will enable the war
department to develop according
to army rules. Every state must
have cavalry, field artillery, a signal
corps, Quartermaster's corps, and
hospital and ambulance service as
well as infantry. The coast states
should all have coast artillery az
well. The organized militia in many
of the smaller and sparsely populated
states has hitherto been confined to
a few companies OF infantry. Blu,
in the upbuilding 1t does not neces-
sarily follow that the numbers OF
the National Guard will be greatly
increased.
The most important part of the
program for the Strengthening of our
national defenses will relate to the
formation OF reserves for both the
regulararmy and the National Guard
and the adoption OF systematic
plan for the training of citizens for
military duty. Conscription vii,
| play no part in this program.
AS The Record has pointed out
heretofore, the times demand that
here at the state capital there should
be battery Of heavy artillery, and
we would go further and suggest
that every city in this state should
have machine gun squad. The
moral effect of the presence of such
defenses would keep the household
we'll regulated, and would keen the
burglars at a distance.

The court is asked to enioin the
national commission or any club in
organized baseball from seeking to
enforce its contracts with players
who have signed with the Federal
league. Special exception is taken to
epithets alleged to have been applied
to Federal league players and the
court is asked to restrain the de-
PENDANT from calling players under
contract with the Federal league
