agricultural opportunities.
Especially fine are the pictures employed
so effectively from cover to cover. A comb1-
nation of two pictures to a page, one across
the top and one across the bottom, illumi-
mates the booklet in a wonderfully vivid
manner. The booklet is printed on heavy
super-calendar paper and the pictures are
brought out as finely as a Photographic
print.
Georgia is calculated to receive great in
fiux of new and desirable citizens when the
great National Army of young men trained
in Southern environments are mustered out
of the service, and the booklet on Georgia
prepared by the United States Railroad Ad-
ministration will certainly be a strong factor
in refreshing their memories of Georgia, as
we'll as bringing Georgia's resources to the
attention of countless others who have never
seen the state.

The South's Obbortunity

Not the least important Of the changes
wrought by the great war is the status of
America in the financial world. No longer is
America debtor nation. No longer must
America look to European bankers for fnan-
cial aid. The war, even before Americas en-
trance, made of this country creditor ma
ton. Today we hold the purse strings Of the
world. We are overshadowed by none in the
matter of financial strength; indeed, no ma
ton can compete with us. They must seek
their credit in America. They must come to
us for food, for clothing, for raw materials.
The condition is highly favorable to the de-
velopment of American commerce and in
dustry. It affords rare opportunity for trade
expansion. 1t paves the way for substantial
foreign connections that are bound to make
America dominant figure in world commerce
as we'll as finance.
In these circumstances, it is an suspicious
moment for the South. The hour has struck
for the Southern States to encourage the de-
velopment of industry, not overlooking the
opportunity for expanding their foreign trade.
AS the Augusta Chronicle points out:
"The South today commands much
more of the raw material of the world
than any other single section of the
United States. It commands far more of
the cheap power sites of America than
any other section of the country. There
is enough water power undeveloped in
the South, it has been said by engineers,
to turn every wheel in America, if it
were harnessed and put to work. The
South, rich as she is in productive power;
in wealth of natural resources; in raw
materials; in great supply of the cheap
est power known to man, is in position
to do anything she wants to do. The
South, if we put the energy, the en-
thusiasm, and the enterprise behind any
proposition, could put it over. And we
could do it out of the savings of the peo-
pie, if we went about it in the right way
OF no State is this more emphatically true
than of Georgia. Within the borders of this
fertile and richly stored region are all the re-
sources of soil, stream, mine and forest need
full to the building UP of an industrial en-
pire.

THE WAY OUT
By H. Addington Bruce

man. F. FORGET st' the sI price and Tsmen;
Der the pearl. Forget the labor and
remember the fruit"
These words I take from new book which
I want my friends to know about, a most I'M
usual book. 1t is called 1.-THE Seven Pur-
poses,' and is written by Margaret Cameron.
Speaking generally, it is a book of the
same type as Sir Oliver Lodges Raymond"
the more recently published "Claude's Book, "
and similar contributions to the literature Of
psychical research. That is to say it pur-
ports to give a record of communications
from the dead.
But in addition to the usual recital of mes
sages of a purely personal character and
fragmentary descriptions of the life beyond
the grave, it contains remarkable series of
lessons" defining the meaning and aims of
existence. This it is that makes it of special
significance.
Whatever their source-whether actually
coming from the spirit world" or worked out
by the subconsciousness of the author in the
course of her experiments in automatic writ
ing-these blossoms" deserve attentive con-
sideration. They present in a new and per-
suasive setting fundamental truths which all
of us should ever keep in view.
Particularly they insist on keener sense
of human brotherhood as the one way out of
the difficulties in which the world now finds
itself. And eloquently they urge men to SUBJ
ordinate material gains to spiritual ideals in
their philosophy of life.
To quote again:
'There are seven purposes: Prog ess light,
truth, healing, building, production and JUS
tice. Equally great, save progress, which
moves them ALL One of these must each man
serve, if he proceeds toward the great pur-
pose.
whether great or small, high or low, rich
or poor, learned or ignorant, wise or foolish,
powerful or apparently impotent, each human
individual is a force for construction or dis
eff man climb without envy, forgetting
himself in his purpose he shall climb far. If
he look with envy at his higher brother and
with scorn at those below him, he shall climb
on slipping sands and find himself again at
the foot.
Bear We one another's burdens is COM
mand unchanged and Interchangeable. Give
unto each his opportunity to grow and to
build for progress.
Freedom to strive is the one right in
herent in existence, the strong and the weak
each following his own purpose, with all his
force, to the one great end.
And he who binds or limits his brothers
purpose binds himself now and hereafter.
But he who extends his brothers opportunity
builds for eternity.
Choose ye."
Thus, for pages, the mysterious teacher
communicating through the automatic writ
ing of Margaret Cameron exhorts to a true
harmony of thought and action between men
of all classes and creeds.
Real fraternity must come, or chaos. That
is the warning solemnly conveyed. And
events daily give more force to it.
But read and ponder this book for your
self. 1t matters not what you think of the
source whence the teachings come What
does matter is the effect of the teachings
themselves on your mind and heart

The Augusta Chronicle sensibly advises
that one Of the best ways to cut the cotton
acreage is to paint more corn.
'FThere need be no fear of an over
production our contemporary adds,
"for the corn belt is millions of acres
short of ground that in former years
produced this cereal. (This is caused
by the extraordinary increase in the
wheat acreage, invited by the Govern
ments guarantee of prices.) There will
be bigger demand for corn at home
than usually, and bigger demand over
all America. This has created the real
Georgia opportunity.
Merely to reduce the cotton acreage will
not serve the needs and interests which the
South has SO critically at stake. This mega
tive precaution, important though it is, marks
but the beginning of what must be done to
make the planters prosperity secure. There
should be no idle acres, but on the contrary
an increase in production as far as available
labor and machinery will make that possible
An increase in the production Of those basic
commodities for which there is assurance of
fair prices as we'll as worldwide demand.
AS one of the most important of these
staples, corn is a particularly good substitute
for cotton. Besides commanding profitable
market for itself, it is the foundation of an
industry in which Georgia's prosperity is
especially concerned. We mean hog raising.
Every bushel of the grain that is turned to
this purpose becomes intellectually more profit
able than cotton ever has been or probably
ever will be. Not only LESS cotton then
but chiefly more corn" should be the slogan!

The Harding Cotton Plan.

Heartily indorsing the proposal to organize
a cooperative exporting corporation to facill'
tate the Souths cotton trade with particular
reference to foreign markets, the Union
Is. CO. Times observes
"The investment, wisely conducted,
will pay it's promoters, and the oppor-
tunity for service is almost limitless.
1t will be possible through such an or
ganization to stabilize the price of cot
ton and to get it's real worth. 1t will
aid also in selling each crop gradually,
thus avoiding the Cutting of the mar
ket. We have felt for a long time that
genuine help for the farmers of the
South must come through themselves,
and this move is one that the farmers
are promoting and that they will con-
troll"
The truth of this analysis is borne out in
every phase of the movement as it has de-
veloped thus far, from the day it was pub
licly suggested some six weeks ago by Mr..
w. P. G. Harding. Because it is so manifest
1y in the interest of the farmers and of the
rank and file, with politics and promoters
profits vigorously excluded, the enterprise has
won extraordinary confidence and support
The Southern press is virtually a unit in its
favor; broad-visioned business men and bank
ers recognize it's conserving and constructive
possibilities; and alert growers see the in
valuable protection it offers them.
There is no nook or corner of Southern in
terests, whether commercial, industrial OF
agricultural, which is not materially con-
cerned in the establishment of free and
dependable cotton market European coun-
tries want the South's cotton as much as the
South wants their patronage. In these cir
cumstances selling corporation, amply
financed for extending credit and providing
other needful facilities, would be mutually
helpful to buyers and sellers. 1t is deeply to
be wished that this timely and altogether adj
mirable project may be pressed to consum-
nation.
