ORGANS IN CHURCHES.

From the Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
A Primitive Baptist church in Marion
county, this state, is being divided into two
hostile factions. And it is all because one
thinks it awfully sinful to have instru-
mental music in divine worship Strange
as it may seem, we remember the day when
organs in our Methodist churches were not
regarded by some of the best men that lived
as being the proper thing. It is handed
down as a tradition among US that one of
the Georgia preachers entering the church
and seeing in the choir person with a VIC
lin said when he announced his hymn: LET
us fiddle and sing"

Taking Away Their License

The Missouri legislature has enacted
law empowering the secretary of state to
revoke the license of motorists convicted of
a third violation of the automobile regula-
tions, and already that official has begun to
enforce the new statute,
1t remains to be seen just how effective
a weapon against recklessness the new law
will prove, but there is every reason to be-
live that it will be a strong instrument IN
the hands of law enforcement officials.
There are many automobile drivers who
laugh derisively at small fine, or even a
large one, and proceed to a repetition OF
their offense, but they will find their risa-
bilities not so easily aroused when facing
the alternative of abiding by the law or fore
going the pleasure of guiding their machines
through the streets and along country roads
Some individuals are glad to obey the
law because Of an inherent desire to do so
others prefer to evade it so long as the eva
sion may be accomplished without inconven-
fence or fear of punishment. The revoca
ton of a drivers license falls within the
last named category in the minds Of those
who know no greater thrill than to sit at {
steering wheel and sense the pulsations OF
a smoothly running engine as it responds tC
their touch.
Such restrictions as are imposed by the
Missouri law will no doubt have a deterrent
effect upon a class of law-breakers whose
carelessenss and indifference constitute {
distinct menace to public safety.

TWILL MAKE A MAN OF HIM.

From Newman Herald and Advertiser.
Teach your boy that it is better to starve
than to steal; that it is better to be a scav-
enger or woodchopper than an idler and
deadbeat; that it is just as criminal and rep
rehensible to waste Monday as it is to desc
crate Sunday; that labor is the price of all
honest possessions; that no one is exempt
from the obligation to labor with head,
hands or heart that an honest man is the
noblest work of Cod; that knowledge IS
power; that labor is worship and idleness
sin; that it is better to eat the crust of indie
pendent poverty than to IuXuriate amid the
richest viands as a dependent. Teach him
these facts until they are woven into his be-
ing and regulate his life, and we VIII insure
his success though the heavens fall.

Down in the Eleventh district Congress
man Walker was opposed for reelection by
Col j. E. T. Bowden. No candidate ever
went into a race with more sanguine expec-

that Bowden had been badly left-''left at

to be good sport and he sent the follow
ing congratulatory message to his victOri-
GUS opponent: Congratulations. The pri-

The item recently printed by The News
that farmer John Mercer is accommodating

of boil weevils has attracted widespread
attention, and been reproduced in newspa-

people that the future production of cot
ton in Southwest Georgia will depend large

that feed upon the weevils.

day or so before the primary gave out a

However, comparatively few of the SEN

day after the primary some mischievous

While talking to the Herald
the other day. Henry Zuleger
expressed the hope that we
would> urge upon the farmers
the Importance Of raising po-
tatoes of only one variety.
This subject came in for a good
deal of discussion at the receut
meeting of potato growers at
Devils Lake. All the farmers
tributary to any certain town
should agree to plant the same
variety, or at least agree not to
plant more than two varieties:
one of early and the late varie-
ties. The Early Ohio finds a
ready market as an early pota-
to and either the Green Noun
tain or the Burbank of the late
varieties find ready sale. BY
shipping potatoes of a uniform
grade a premium is always re-
ceived. Mr.. Zuleger is anxious
to see the farmers come to
some understanding in regard
to this matter. Her.
