BEREA and THE
MOUNTAINS BROUGHT
HERE IN MOVIES
Movie Of Berea College and the Noun.
talns ut Baptist Church Wesdnes.
day Evening, October 1s, ats
O'ClOck-Publlc Invited.

On Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock
in the Baptist church the people Of
Maysville are invited to see a great
educational movie of Berea College
and the mountains The picture shows
the crude conditions of education as
they have existed and as they exist
there today. 1t takes one Of these
sturdy mountain boys and girls from
their log cabin in the hills through
the training of Berea College and
shows what powerful influence they
are when turned back to the noun
tains.
This boy and girl are only two Of the
thousands who go through the influ
ence Of Berea College from year to
year. The picture will give new vi
sion of Berea College, its unlimited
field of work and its importance to
our nation.
Men Of national and international
influence have come to realize the i'm
Z portance of the 100000 people living
in our southern highlands, and the
great need of Berea College as the
means of educating these people, who
are so much needed in this time or un-
rest.
President Harding says "Berea Col
lege aims to carry, the opportunity of
higher education to one of the finest
stocks of original Americans that are
to be found in this country. 1t has
been their misfortune to live away
from high roads of American migra-
ton and development, and therefore
to have been somewhat passed by in
the march of cultural development of
recent decades. We all know that they
are of the finest and most patriotic
elements of the nation, and the splen-
did work that Berea College is doing
among them is thoroughly deserving
Of all appreciation"
Aside from the picture will be an
address by DR.. Jonathan c. Day a
noted lecturer from New York City.
Music will be rendered by the famous
\ male quartet of Berea College.

 All licenses become delinquent No- vember 1, and the number issued up to the present time Is approximately one-third of the number issued last year.
 After October 31 a penalty of It per cent of the license tag in addi- tion to the price of the tag will be charged and If notified by an off, fieer to obtain a 1922 license tag a fee of s1.5O will also be charged
 Last year 10000 automobile tags were issued In Jefferson county and 5000 business licenses. according to Woolsey Morrow, chief clerk of the probate court Unless the automo- bile owners show more speed during the next three days than they have the entire month many will be forced to pay a penalty. We have em- ployed additional help to assist in is- suing the licenses and for the com venience of the public, but have had no crowds to speak of at all. In fact. I don't remember when people have been as slow in paying their licenses as they have this year. We have placed tables in the hall with blank applications on them and have one man who will assist persons in filling out the blanks

7Uenty- Cent Cotton Due
 To Planters Contention
 Mrs. Edn1undson BeLieues
Woman Farmer Praises Bank CTS for Firm Stand on
 Helping to Limit Acreage

'"Thc financial future of the south lies in the curtailment of cotton acre age. I consider that the American Cotton association convention in Montgomery last year Is directly responsible for 20-cent cotton this fall. We have started in the right direction and if we can stick to cur tailment of acreage for another year we will reach normalcy once Rore."
 Mrs. w. B. Edmundson of Decatur one of the most successful and pros porous farmers in the south, who is here attending the American Cotton association convention. gave express sion to the foregoing statement yes terday in speaking of the financial condition now existing in the south ern states.
 Mir. Edmudson refutes every idea of the average farmer in appearance and manner; the cartoonists and comic sections of the newspapers, notwithstanding she is a trim, sty fish, figure of a woman, and her gowns and bonnets bear the imprint of the city decidedly and not the country-a statement which brings maledictions upon the head of the person who dares mention such things.
 RuraI Dignity
 Tt makes me furious to have peo- pie look at me from the crown of my head to the tips of my toes and then say with a shrug of the shoulders: Why, you don't look like you are from the countryI Certainly I don't, for there is no reason for me to look like It." she declared. In the days of my forefathers the ladies and gem tiemen of the south lived In the coun- try and unless a man was a profes- sional man or a landowner, he was not received with any degree of en- thusiasm by society. That very idea which the newspapers have spread and the cartoonists have emphasized picturlng the farmers wife as n shoddy. dowdy, unkempt, sun bon neted person-has driven many good farmers to the city who would have been splendid plantation owners.
 My plantation of sixteen hundred and fifty acres at Decatur" Mrs. Ed mundson continued, "is unique in that 1t Is the boundary line of the two cities, Albany Decatur, for two miles, while 1t borders three miles
