The Federal Reserve Bank law goes

Even were the Georgia Cotton Bank and
Trust Corporation to accomplish nothing
more than to educate the farmers to full
realization of the financial assistance placed
at their disposal in the Federal Reserve
Bank system, 1t would abundantly justify it's
existence, assuming that such a realization
would result in demand for state banks to
place themselves in position of complete
service and usefulness by joining the system.

# You Search Diligently, Some Good
Can Be Found in the Worst of People.

In one of the most beautiful towns in New
England, resting like a veritable gem upon it's
terraces by Penobscot bay, there lived, in other
days, grand old Methodist clergyman who
was greatly beloved by everybody in all the
region round about
This dear old father in Israel was in great
demand at funerals; for no matter what the
character of the deceased might have been, he
always managed, in some way, to say something
GOOD about him.
There lived in the same town VIGOROUSLY
worthless character whom we will call John
Doe, who spent most of his time hanging
around the engine house. Doe was a fine
driver, and every time there was a fire alarm
he drove the horses to the fire for the sake
of what WHlSKEY he COULD GET TO DRINK
DURING THE CONFEDERATION.
When Doe paid the last debt to Nature his
obSequieS were attended by mighty throng,
anxious to find out what good things the old
minister would have to say about so worthless
person.
When the prayer had been made and the
hymns SuRg the white-hared old clergyman
arose, and after few remarks about the short
ness of life and the certainty of death, said, in
tones fairly vibrant with sympathetic emotion,
Brethren, our departed friend had his failingS
but everybody knows that he was a MIGHTY
HANDY MAN AT A FIRE"
Dear old minister They couldn't stump
him. He found something good to say even
about John Doe.

lines and words rule US today, and will ever

The Government and the Strike.

rN IE issue involved in the unfortunate
bituminous coal strike is bigger and
more vital than the strike itself. 1t
is a question as we see it, not as to whether
the people are to freeze during the winter,
but whether the ultimate power of the Fed
eral Government can be usurped and disre-
garded at will by any group or class.
We cannot but believe that the great mass
of the people recognize and appreciate the
gravity of the issne involved. and. Nv the same
token, we believe that enc people, regardless
of their affiliations or sympathies, will sup
port the government in its determination to
sustain its power.
= That, in nut shell, is the question involved
in the legal proceedings instituted before
Judge Anderson, at Indianapolis, by the
United States Government, and that in a
nut shell, was the question answered so CO.

TT. Moultrie, Mothers Day.

| - -ioaAeAh, hoIHSTS lay.
Dear Mother:
To-day, as one year ago to-day,
am inspired to write you a letter,
which shall not be as other letters.
The Secretary of War has asked
me to write you this letter in token
of what you have done to make Ame-
rlca safe for democracy. He has
asked million other sons of Ameri
ca who wear the khaki. / wonder
how many of them have written.
What will it mean when the hearts of
Americas womanhood pulsate with
new flush of devotion that her sons
give in addition to that they hav,
given?
VIII it not make the heart of the
nation swell with pride, and burst
with joy for every mother to know
that her boy has held up the honor
of his country and most of all that
he has glorified his mother by show
ing forth in his action what she in
stilled in his heart when but a child?
But, o, what of those mothers who
shall never receive letters? OF those
whose last bitter tears have beer
shed, and who know that they have
given all they had to give, and mus;
this day sit silent and watch other
mothers read letters that they them
selves can never more receive? My
anSwer is, America gives them their
reward" When think of all this
there comes to my mind a question
| What have you given me and how
have | used it to make America safe
for the mothers of the future?"
My answer is this: "You have in
s-illed in me a noble appreciation of
my country's freedom and manhood,
and the highest estimation of the
virtue of our womanhood. have
kept these three as ever bright lights
before me, and if l can hold then
,hus | can in n measure repay those
who gave their all"
| know that l should not mention
myself in this matter. Sometimes ]
feel that neither you nor / have any
cause to be glad or rejoice, for have
not Americas mothers, by the
thousands wept the last bitter tears
of sorrow for those, the flower of
Americas manhood, who sleep on the
)attle fields of France? Therefore
when | th!n! of this, I must only say
Mother, | am proud that | still live
and that the opportunity is left to
thank you for what you have done
Let us not mention ourselves in this
matter, but render homage to the
thousands dead, by working in silence
to heal the great wounds in the
hearts of mothers of America, who
have instilled in the hearts of hel
men the unselfish sacrifice that they
have made in silence.
Has not America been made saf,
for freedom and virtue? Has not
America been made safe for democ
racy? Thank you, Mothers, dear, fol-
What you have done.

Strengthening up the house. The Ad-

at the Teal home, carrying the story
of her confession, in which she impli-
Gated Charles Benton. She is said to
have commented on the truthfulness
of this story, saying that every word
If it was correct.
When the woman had finished her
work, the last of the cleaning up
took her to Mr.. TeaPs room. A re-
volver lay on the mantle in this room.
This she picked up and the first warn
ing those about the house had of her
intention was the report of the shot.
The ball penetrated her chest near
the heart and she was dead in few
minutes.
