CThe Sunshine MANI

Anything allowed in the heart
which is contrary to the will OF GOD
let It seem ever so insignificant or
be ever so deeply hidden, will cause
us to fall before our enemies. Any
root of bitterness cherished towards
another, and self-seeking, any harsh
judgments INDUCED in. any slack
ness in obeying the voice of the
Lord, any doubtful habits or sur
roundings, any one Of these things
will effectually cripple and paralyze
our spiritual life. 1 believe our
blessed Guide, the indwelling Holy
Spirit. is always secretly discovering
these things to us by continual little
twinges and pangs Of conscience so
that we are left without excuse.

"Uncle Joe" Goes Home.

The last few days on the road from Wash
mgton to Danvlle big red seven-passenger
car tore along at IS to 60mile speed, bear
ing its owner, Hon. Joseph Quincy Cannon,
back to his Illinois home and to the end OF
his career as a member of congress and a
national figure. Uncle Joe" was going back
to the little town which is better known as
his home than anything else II has done IN
the two generations that have passed since
he began making his trips to Washington.
~JJncle Toe'' at last is out OF JOB, due to
the fact that he is nearly 90 years old and
has welded to the persuasion OF his family
that he ought to let some one else represent
the district.
Uncle Joe" however, will have no job to
hunt now that he is back in Danvlne, tor,
even if he was a congressman tor nearly 81
years, giving his constituents the best ser
vice of which he was capable, he still had
time to grow rich with good investments
made in the business world. He is banker
IN Danville He owns farm lands in rich Yer
million county, is interested in brick manu-
featuring and holds also stock in various
business concerns, some of which are the
class-one railroads of the country.
The hardest work for Uncle Joe" probably
after getting back to Danville and looking
around is that of adjusting himself to new
surroundings and new conditions, He hae
been in Washington SO long that gong tt
congress and coming back home had become
a habit. 1t may be, too, that he will have
some regrets because he at last is out OF th'
scheme OF things at the national capital lh'
whole country is glad Uncle joe had
safe journey home and wishes him man!

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
Nobody Loves a Landlord.

My landlord he has up and went and been
and gone and raised my rent How lucky IS
the sluggish snail who crawls about and
drags his tail; he has no need to rent shack,
but packs his round upon his back. How
happy too the torpid turtle, well rooted from
all the showers that spurtle. The astute
Arabs pitch their tents and squat therein
and pay no rents. They have no table and
no chairs, no furnace and no cellar stairs,
but sit around upon their launches and feed
ripe dates into their paunches. I'd like to
live in just that way. When someone spoke
OF rent to pay I'd fold my tents and steal
away. Consider Noah on the waters with
all his sons and n-law daughters. Although
he wandered far from shore the ark was
rooted behind, before Beneath that root right
snug he sat, and though at night the beasts
might blat, he had no landlord for his fiat;
From my rude couch l rise betimes and
rattle off some Rural Rhymes. Your paper

check to me. Then | endorse it on the back
Pay to John Smith for rent OF shack. |
like the luxures of life, l like silk stockings
on my wife but | must pay these bills that

spool of thread, a penny for a needle, but
mostly for to keep away the sheriff and the
beadle. BOB ADAMS

The Turk Returns.

As A. G.. Gardiner puts it, writing from
London, the red handed Turk has returned
to Europe a real power and victor IN the
world war for the reason that he has been
able TO overturn the treaty of Sevres and to
overthrow British authority. Mr.. Gardiner
insists that the Turk is now stronger than
he has been for 40 years, that he IS courted
for favors in Europe by all save the English
and he might have added that even they gave
consent by their silence and abide HIM IN
suffering and humiliation because they can
cot find an alternative.
Germany was defeated hunlbed and bro
ken Austria-H Hungary was dlsmemDered'
Bulgaria was soundly punished under the
xIicinp process. These were made to under
stand that the other side won the war But
Turkey comes along and turns the treaty OF
Sevres upside down, despite the fact the
Turks had been the most offending and Oh
feusive enemies of them all. 1t is a miracle,
some will say but it is not mystery 1t
began shortly after the war ended when the
yictors began to disagree France and Eng
land were the dictators OF the old world but
their comradeship ended when the last gun
was fired Envy and jealousy on the part OF
the French resulted in the desire to weaken
or to break Britain's power. How success
fully that has been done is now seen. Great
Britain said the Turk could not return to
Europe Yet he is returning As Mr. Gard1-
ner saws British moral influence has fallen
lower than in the memory OF man" What

The New Senator.

Judge w. F. George, who was nominated
for United States senator in the recent pri-
mary, was born in the adjoining county OF
Webster As years ago, and when child
moved with his parents, Robert I. and Sarah
George. to Dooly county. He was educated
in the schools at Vienna, and graduated from
Mercer University with a B. 5. degree Ill
1000. One year later he completed the Mer-
Ger law school and began the practice OF
law in Vienna In 1906 he was elected solic-
itor general of the Cordele circuit, and served
until appointed superior court judge OF that
circuit six years later In 1915 Judge George
was elected to the state court OF appeals and
served until October 1917, when he was ap-
pointed to the supreme court bench. He
resigned that office on January /, l92l and
returned to the practice of law at Vienna.
Judge George married Miss Lucy Heard,

The ability of the senator-elect as lawyer
and a iurist is recognized, as a man his
character is above reproach, and he has the
education and training which should qualify
him to make a most excellent representative
Of the people in the United States senate.
