zen taken from actual developments
and transactions in the daily cotton
market-and to present to the farm
ers of Georgia, and the business men
as well for that matter, what the final
elimination of the gigantic plan
means in the way of independence
and advantage.
All of these prehminaries have
been practically completed now, and
the campaign directors are about to
launch in Georgia the actual mem
bership drive, which will be complet-
ed about the middle of November
One of the most pointed illustra-
tions of just what is to follow com
pletion of the plans now working
out, and the successful launching OF
the American Cotton Association, is
carried in the comment made yester-
day by one of the most influential
farmers and successful business men
in Georgia. man whose name is
not mentioned solely because of the
fact that in the furtherance of eff
forts of the organization committee
individuality is to be sunk, and
American Cotton Association" is to
be the sole thing known-who says:
Old System Outgrown.
''The old system Of handling and
distribution of the South's cotton
crop, which means the financing of
it also, has outlived it's usefulness.
ModernizatiOn has got to go to the
farm now just as it has gone to the
mill and to the bank. One wouldn' t
think Of walking into big bank and
telling the president to throw out all
the typewriters and all the adding
machines, and go back to hand work
Just to keep somebody in the old jobs
and to do things in the old way. We
wouldn't drop the modern spinning
frame for the old spinning wheel of
our forbears. 1t wouldn do. Just
so it is with the cotton farm. We
have got to reorganize and modern
ize our system of distribution and
financing on a scientific basis just
as we have come to do the farming
itself-for it is a scientific problem
all the way through.
''The fact has been well proven by
the conference just held between
American producers and business
men and representatives from doz-
en- nations, in New Orleans, that the
machinery has got to get the cotton
producer and the cotton spinner clos
er together. There are too many
people in the middle between them.
When the multiplicity of handling
between the farm, and the conse-
Americus times-recorder., 1919-10-19

quent multiplicity of fees, is reduced,
the return for the cotton will be a
better and fairer profit to the farm
er and yet it will be at a cheaper
price to the spinner. 1t has got to
cut both ways, and that's where the
cutting will be done-by moderniz-
ing the method.
THAT will, of course, bring with it
front to front meeting of the great
big things we have got to do. The
South has got to finance her own
cotton crop, and it will have to start
now. Since the Civil war the cot
ton crop of the South has been fl
nanced by England and the New Eng
states. That means they have con-
trolled, and their control has come
through the multiplicity of handling.
Change Here Already.
Whether the South as a whole
wants to accept the statement or not,
it is fact now here-the change is
upon US, and it simply depends for its
measure of success on h how we meet
what is up to US. The short cut from
the farm to the mill, and the most
systematic manner of handling the
staple in uniform, organized trade is
going to be the real measure.
II have made a careful study of
the American Cotton Association
plan, in fact l have gone into it
pretty thoroughly. If the several
states go through with it, back it
up like South Carolina has done for
instance, it will accomplish those
things and, to my mind, will put
farming on a parity with the best
business enterprise we have any
where around US. Their plan is bas-
ed on organization, cooperation and
determination.
In each of the counties a local or
ganization has been made up, headed
by responsible business man or
farmer, and through these the CEN
tral organization here in Atlanta will
direct the activities of the member
ship drive from the day it opens to
its close. The plan of operation con-
templates running the membership
campaign to about the middle of No
vember but if this state conducts the
drive as rapidly and as successfully
as South Carolina did the entire
state car have been covered in even
less time.

SECRET PRAYER
CONVERSION TEST
SAYSEUANCELIST
(By Official Reporter)

Evangelist Dunaway spoke Friday
night at the Lee Street Methodist
revival on "The Need of a Revival"
IF you have ever seen a better day,
religiously, than today has been you
need revival" said he. He gave
several tests by which we could find
out ourselves whether we needed a
revival or not, and knowing condi-
tions as we do, we feel pretty certain
that every person present felt that
there had been better day 1t was
one of those messages that finds a fell
low and enables a fellow to find
himself. He said.
when a man is converted he de-
lights in secret prayer, delights to
read the Word of God, he will have
family prayer, attend prayer meet
ing, Sunday school, etc. If you don't
love these things today better than
any time in all your Christian life,
you need a revival.
''No man can keep in touch with
God without his place of secret
prayer. The trouble with the world
is we don't get along with God long
enough for God to get His hand upon
US. There are many things a hypo-
critic will do but you never heard of
one that had- his place of secret
prayer. They don't get along with
God, and I declare to you that If
you have lost out with God you lost
just here. You neglected secret
prayer.
eve are rearing generation of
youngsters that have no respect for
preachers, no reverence for the
Word of God and do not regard the
Sabbath. The reason for this is we
do not honor God in our homes. We
have allowed our family altars to go
down and with that has also gone all
family government.

thusiasm over everything but re-

that Will instantly become the most

ed farmers newspaper in the South /;
possibly in the nation.
The past ten or twelve weeks have
been devoted by the Georgia execu-
tive committee and its co-workers to
a preliminary campaign Of education
among the country people of the
state; a work in which some of the
most able men of Georgia, acting as
picked speakers, have attended
courts, fairs and specially called
meetings to explain in detail why
the American Cotton Association is
being formed, what its purposes are,
to draw example of the effect the
tentative work already under way has

other people, but now the most of the
people in this world don't care
whether the balance of the people
go to hell or heaven. The final test,
then, is, do you love the souls of
men as well or better than you did
when you were converted? If you
don't you need a revival" :"
At the morning service the Evan
gelist spoke on "Why Prayers Are
Answered" This was powerful
service, almost the entire congrega-
ton went forward ct the close of
the sermon, pledging themselves to
a definite prayer-life. Interest is
increasing at each service and the
congregations are increasing.
