Indirect Answer to Prayer

It is said that the Lord seldom gives direct answer
to prayer or at least does not give it in the manner
expected and we think this is very well illustrated by
the cotton situation in south Georgia
For years the intelligent farmers have prayed 1or
some means of reducing the cotton acreage and dvers
fving crops on general SCALE and there seemed TO De
absolutely no way to attain these things.
Every effort on the part of the farmers to combine
and pledge reduction of acreage usually fol-
lowed by an increase instead of a decrease
Year after year. for the past fifty years. farmers meet
ngs and conventions and oranges and unions have gone
through the same of thing of passing resolutions and
making pledges and speeches, and then going home ana
violating them.
But in spite of all this the Lord found way to get
the answer and he sent the boil weevl through the
south To say that coming of the weevil was viewed
with alarm by farmers and business men, is to express
il but mildly and and honest efforts were lmme-
datey made to get away from cotton to other paying
crops.
visit now through the southern half of this state
would convince the ncreduous farmer in this county
that there is nrosperitv in other crops than cotton
should not be necessary have the boil weevl come 10
Cobb county to teach this lesson it was necessary
to teach other sections.
OF course the value of the lesson came from two
sources FIRST by reducing the cotton crop the price was
raised to paying level and second by the production
nf home supplies the farmers became absolutely indie
pendent
It NAV be necessary for the boil weev some other
cotton scourge the complete cotongrowg sec
ton in give the south the greatest benefit BY
that we mean that it may be to place physical
limit on the production of cotton in order to limit the
crop.
OF course the farmer who reduces his cotton crop to
the minimum, and makes all his supplies and some
other money crop, going to most but so long
as the rest of the country cotton the price OF
this mans surplus cotton crop will be also be low
Some of the best farmers have been fighting and pray
ing for Just the conditions brought about in south Georgia
by the boil weev and in this they have been aided by
the press Editor Henry Mcintosh of the Albany Herald
began campaignfor Hay Hog and Hominy twenty-five
thirty years ago. and has kept up to this day. beng
now rewarded by the consumation of his ideals
But after all, the Lord helps those most who try also
to help themselves and certainly the farmer who reduces
his cotton crop without the aid of pest like the boil
weevil is the man who is helping himself

No Time to Rock the Boat

Perhaps there has been a week in the history
of country when there has been much unrest and
indecsve action throughout country and throughout
Europe These truly may be called the days of recon-
structon in all countries and in America feeling
the evil effect of it all except actual hunger.
Aside from the partisan talk of the Republicans in
Congress- that body is with dssentons and disorder
that can not be concealed
There can be no doubt that of the enemies of
the president in his own party we'll the larger part
of the other party taking advantage of his absence
from the country the unavoidable conflict of opinions
to crock the boat"
Rocking the boat" is always dangerous business, and
at this hour it is particularly dangerous, and our local
dissenons should be held in check matter how much
evil it may temporarily cloak until such time can
settle our affairs at home without outside help.

Can It Be Done?

Somebody said that it couldn't be done.
But he with chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't" but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so until he'd tried.
So he bucEled right in with trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid it,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that
At least no one has ever done 1T;
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun 1t.
With the lift of his chin and bit of a grin,
He started to sing he tackled the thing
Without any doubling quitting.
He statred to sing he tackled the thing
That counldn't be done-and he did it.
There thousands who'll tell you it cannot be done
There thousands who prophesy failure;
There thousands to point out to you by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with bit of grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing, you tackle the thing
That cant be done"-and you'll do it.

 HOLDING BOATS
 ENROUTE NORTH

NOME, June 1.-The steamships Victoria and Senator and others of the incoming fleet have been un- able to reach the Nome roadstead because of the presence of ice off shore, and a dense fog which has enveloped the offing during the past three days.
 The belief is general here that boats will be delayed for a con- siderable time, owing to the quantity of ice present. Earlier in the sea- son, it was thought the breakup would occur much in advance of the usual date, permitting northern bound vessels to reach Nome earlier than usual
 Oldtimers declare that the ice is the heavist recorded here in recent years, which is given as the reason for its delay in disappearing.
 Both the Senator and Victoria have many passengers on board for Seward peninsula and upper Yukon river points.

WIRE WORKERS
 SAY RAILROAD
 MOVE |S HELP

CHICAGO, June 14.-Leaders of the striking telegraphers are au- thority for the statement that their order forbidding railroad tele- graph operatives to handle com mercial messages for the Western Union and Postal Telegraph com panies has resulted in the accumu- lation of heavy files of messages at Western Union and Postal relay stations. The cooperation of the railroad operators, it is claimed, has enabled the strikers to establish an effective blockade which will aid them materially in gaining the points for which they are con- tending.
 Many towns in Iowa, Indiana and nearby states, it is claimed, are now completely cut off by wire.
