In response to many requests
The Times-Recorder has secured the
text of Miss Mattisu Stubs address
before the Rotary Club mere on the
subject, ''The BIZ Weevil Has Been
More Beneficial Than Harmful in
the State Of Georgia." this text
is published for Times-Recorder
readers today as follows;
l shall give you a few facts
showing what diversified farming
has done for the State Of Georgia.
Fifty years ago Henry w. Grady,
that illustrious Southerner and stu
dent of agricultural economies,
with visions of New South, sound
ed the key note of Investigation IL
a famous speech II which he said :,
"When every farmer in the
South shall eat bread from his own
fields and meat from his own pas
lures, aud, disturbed by no creditor,
and enslaved by no debt, shall sit
amid his teeming gardens and orch
ards and vineyards and diaries and
barn yard, pitching his crops in his
own wisdom and growing them in
independence, making cotton his
clean surplus and selling it in his
own time and in his chosen markets
and not at a masters bidding
getting his pay in cash and not in
receipted mortgage that dischar
ges his debt but does not restore his
freedom-then shall be The break
ing Of the fullness Of our day"
Necessity is the mother of in
vention, and the boil weevil came
as a thunderbolt from. a clear sky
and has made the dream of dis
great man almost true.
In this argument / shall discuss
three counties in particular, Sumter
TUNER and Colquits and then take
the State as a whole.
You ask me why these three.
Because l live in Sumter and have
facts from the other two. In the
first place Sumter has made more
progress within the pass ten years
than ever before. Ten years ago
she had no paved roads now She
has many miles. Look at the new
buildings everywhere. Ten good
new consolidated schools, new
churches and new homes all over
the county. The three banks Of
Americas, the one at Leslie and
the one at Plains show that we are
in the best condition that the coun-
ty has ever been in, Business is
sounder in this county now than be-
fore the weevil. The hundred cars
Of hogs we are shipping each year,
the fifteen cars of cattle, the 10
cars of peaches and the 10 cars Of
potatoes, all these are putting
money in the hands of the farmer
at a time when money is worth
something to him. In this county
we have not gone as far as others
have but we are on the road to pro-
gress.
Take Colquit county. Carload

in Washington this season, and the
program was one that will linger in
formed large and unusually en-
thusiastio audience, in spite OF dis
agreeable weather.
The symphony was Franz Schu-
bert's Ninth" written during the
last year OF tho composers life and
not performed until eleven years
later, under tho direction of Men

delicate melodies, typical of Sonu-
bert. After the poetic dreaminess of
the first movement, the lifting gypsy
rhythm Of the second is delightful
principal theme of the scherzo. and
inc nnalc Is nlleu with gradually
swelling tones of inspiring brilliance
The manner in which Mr.. Walter
built up the symphony into passion
ate outburst Of melody at the china,
was thrilling. This conductor seem:
to be saturated with the themes o
the work he is directing, and glimpse!
of his expressive face and sensitive
fingers give his audience as well a.
his musicians forecast of eacl
change of mood in the composition
The rhythm of the violins and cello!

his ability in building toward a dra
matte climax. and the muffied drums
telling of the tragic death on tn,
scaffold of the legendary scamp seem
ed to hold the audience spellbound.

Making known its diSapproval of
business interests which are using
coercive methods TO defeat the soldier

g. Bascom slemp, secretary to

Harlow W. Ross, editor of the Amer

ly a purported-circular letter sent by
the Aeolian Company of New York

Mr.. Slemp's letter stated, that while
he is opposed to the granting of the
soldier bonus, he is completely in
sympathy with the protest which the
American Legion Weekly voices
against this kind of propaganda to
defeat the bonus me Sure. He
feels strongly that such support fol-
his policies is certain to be injurious
rather than helpful.
But he believes also that efforts
to organize an apparent sentiment
against the measure. such as are
represented by the circular quoted
arc utterly un-American. subversive
of the very fundamentals of democ-

Convinced, as he is, that the bonus
