BACCALAUREATE
SERVICE SUNDAY
Rev. l. I. Gorby of Presbyterian
Church Delivered Inspiring Ser
mon to Glass of 1924

The baccalaureatc service for the
Senior Glass of 1924 was held at the
Presbyterian Church last Sunday
evening. the Rev. |. |. Gorby, pas
tor OF the church delivering the
sermon. Special music numbers
were given by Miss Neima Christie
phcr, L. NJ. Appel, and the choir.
An audience which taxed the capa-
city of the church was present to
hear the service.
Rev. Gorby took as the text for
his sermon, My people perish for
lack OF knowledge" from Hosea
4:G, quoting the pathetic eXclama-
ton OF Hosea when he saw that
the lsreals were drifting, My peo-
pie are destroyed for lack Of knowI-
edge He then cited the similarity
in spirit of Hoseas words and the
Senior Clas motto. Scientia est
Potentia. knowledge is power.
He discussed the meaning of
knowledge, dwelling upon its diver
sification of scope and unification
of purpose, calling particular at
tention to the ascendency in the
scale of knowledge of moral and re-
ligious development. He referred
to Huxley's volume on Science and
Education" in which the author
gives much prominence to moral
and religious knowledge
Rev. Gorby complimented the
members of the class for their
efforts in working their way to this
milestone in education when he
told of the difficulties which be-
set the one who seeks knOledgc,
yet warned them of the trials yet
to come when he cited as a funda-
mental law of educational develop
ment that the higher one climbs
in the scale of knowledge the more
difficulties one must overcome.
The speaker stressed at some
length, the fundamental laws
of knowledge, saying in substance,
1T comes gradually, even AT a
plodding rate. 1t preserves Il pro
gressive tone, gradually reaching
alter its own happy goal. 1t is a
symmetrical process the parts all
preserved in a prODortionate spirit.
If tho attainment should be at
times SWaycd to sudden bounds
this would only prove the rule
announced: that it is a slow and
tardy progress
Instantancss perfection is a NOR
tai dclusiOn never seen in actual
life; either mentally morally or
spiritually.
Hence the importance of this adj
lnonition to seek and strive

About Mussel Shoals.

Henry Ford has withdrawn his offer Tor
the government property at Mussel Shoals,
but instead of helping congress to dispose
of the plant, his action appears to have COM
plicated the problem even more. For now the
opponents of the Ford offer in the senate who
agreed with Senator Norris that it would be
better to have the government retain the
property and exploit it for the beneht OF the
public are not nearly so eager to have that
done The foes Of government ownership it
turns ont, fell in with the Norris plan only
tentatively.
SO MusseI Shoals is still an issue before
congress. the session of which that has just
convened will be required to undertake a
settlement of the question OF what to do with
the great nitrate and power plant. The SEN
ate agricultural committee OF which Senator
Norris is chairman probably will go into the
subject again with Mussel Shoals recommitted
to that body by senate motion. The posi-
bilitv. therefore, of new suggestions being
made is considerably strengthened.
The south is mportuning congress to do
something definite with Mussel Shoals. The
south wants power and the opportunity to
49,
believed in the south that the operation OF
the Mussel Shoals plant would be the great
est single encouragement that agriculture and
industry in general in this section could be
given This probably is true. Mussel Shoals
is quite capable if properly administered OF
producing the things the south requires Tor
progress But the south does not have ma
ority in the senate, and cannot insist upon
a precipitous settlement OF the question.
The hope OF the south and OF those sena-
tors who would like to see Mussel Shoals
disposed Of in some way is for a compromise.
Some OF the southern interests are hoping
Mr.. Ford will reconsider the withdrawal OF
his bid but he is said to be against that
There are other offers that still stand. Mr.,
Ford's offer is the only one that has been
withdrawn The White Syndicate, of New
York, OF which Elon Hooker is the repre-
sentative, wishes to buy Mussel Shoals out
right from the government. Mr.. Hooker re-
Gently expressed the desire to change his
companys bid, but this was refused. Changes
in bids would only be consistent il the gov
eminent called for new offers.

DiscipIining the Boilers.

Already Inundated by the sorry spectacle
TO which they contributed and, wlthal, re-
eretful. Senators LaFollette OF Wisconsin,
Ladd and Frazier of North Dakota, and
Brookhart OF Iowa have been soundly spank
ed bv the old guard and communicated
from the republican party. Henceforth, I'M
less their colleagues relent, they will be po-
litical mavericks, entirely disconnected from
that well-known institution, the pie counter,
and with unimportant committee assignments
Senator Burton K Wheeler, elected as a
democrat in Montana and also a late bobcat,
is not farng altogether as badly as the other
LaFollettistas. He.is now playing the penitent
Tom gone unwisely astray and seeking his
wav back to the hresde of the democratic
party. He says weakly but audbly enough
that he is a democrat and expects to work
with instead of against that party i'll the I'M
certain future The democrats did not give
Senator Wheeler three cheers when he said
it. but they will tolerate his presence IN the
ranks if he now behaves himself. One rea-
son for non-acton in his case is that Senator
Wheeler is not considered of enough import
ance TO be disciplined or punished for his
apostacv. His committee assignments are
more or less insignificant. he being the fourth
democrat on Indian affairs, the sixth on inter
state commerce, the fifth on manufactures and
the fourth on pensions Thus standing far
down toward the foot OF the class nothing is
to be gained by taking special notice OF him
The so-cal1ed progressive party is, like the
happy hypochrondriac, who never was COM
Portable unless he was miserable, enjoying
poor health. Pernicious anaema seems to be
the ailment and it may not survive, DR.. La
Toilette whose fame never depended upon his
power of diagnosis, is believed to be cognizant
OF the trouble. and in the meantime he might
as well start worrying over where to find
pallbearers when the patient passes away.

How the Gangster Dies.

Dean O'Banion, of Chicago who, accord
ing to police there, was responsible Tor -
murders during his hectic career as h-jacker,
bootegger, gunman and killer has illustrated
low the gangster usually dies Six bullets
did for O'Banion what one did for the ia
nous kid" Dropper of New York. The
Chicago trio wanted to make sure in O'Ban-
ions case, hence they fired five shots in STAG
cato fashion, and, after he was down, one OF
them stopped with the muzzle OF his auto
matte against his victims head and gave him
the coup de grace, which made doubly certain
but in which there was no element OF mercy
O'Banion was one gun ahead OF the famous
two-gun man of the old west. He always
had three The pockets of his trousers were
specially tailored to hold the automatics. Two
pockets in front made to his order and one
on the hip permitted the draw to be made
lightning fast. No seams or flaps or creases
were left to interfere with the mechanism Of
weapon. The fraction OF a second one way
or another means an advantage gained or
lost Then O'Banion practiced the draw ev-
cry day. His hands were slender but strong.
His tapering fingers were highly trained to
grasp an automatic and fire from the hip. He
never found it necessary to aim gun by
using the sights. Thus O'Banion became an
adept in the use of the One-hand gun-nay,
in the use OF the three one-hand guns An
other little trick became second nature to
O'Banion In talking to strangers he always
stood with his feet wide apart, his hands on
his hips, the thumbs to the and the
capable fingers down in front In this way
those deadly hands were near the guns with
which they had become so familiar.
Ordinarily, man so we'll equipped as was
O'Banion felt that he could protect himself.
But. in addition to being a gang leader, he
was in the florist business That was his
daylight work and was regarded as a screen
for his underworld activities 1t was said that
within four years he had made a fortune at
bookkeeping reaching to $1000,000. He had
$40 900 worth OF the best motor cars avail
able. He lived in a beautiful apartment in
extreme luxury The florist role however,
made it easy for his enemies to put six bull
lets into his body There was an underworld
funeral, and O'Banion's place was to furnish
floral pieces worth thousands of dollars A
voice asked over the telephone if the floral
pieces were ready. O'Banion said they were.
In a little while three men came and said
they were to take them. 1t looked all right
to O'Banon. but it wasn't This was just "a
ruse. One Of the men shook hands with
.O'Banion and the other two fired. Then the
third one opened up with his automatic, and
his arms full of beautiful chrysanthemums
and his graceful form swaying backward
against a bank OF velvety roses O'Banion
went down never again to rise living man.
And that's the way the gangster usually dies.
Sooner or later another set OF gangsters gets
him. Meanwhile, Chief Collins at once points
out that now with the arch criminal OF the
entire community dead the city in general
and the police department in particular can
give a deep sigh OF relief

IS Cents-And No Eggs.

The Cordele Dispatch believes there IS no
excuse for the scarcity of eggs and says so
IN the following comment: Eggs are nifty
eight cents a dozen on the counters OF the
cash stores in Cordele today. There IS moth
ing in the wide world behind that except the
scarcity of eggs. And that's true right here
in the midst of territory that has green
pastures for the chickens to waste-that has
the back yard for the hens to waste-that has
fence jams for sunhower chicken iced to
waste-wheat and barley and rye and oats Tor
winter and spring grazing on patches that
would stay green"
What our Cordele neighbor says is as true
as preaching. On the other hand, however, II
the farmers were to double their focks and
the hens were to become more industrious
there isn't anything more certain than the
price OF eggs would slump to figure that
would not be profitable. That's the history
of all farm products When the farmer hasn't
anything to sell prices go skyward, and when
production is anywhere near equal to the de-
nland prices are low. The News believes that
when the farmer has assurance OF market
for his produce at prices that will enable
him to realize a fair profit he will supply the
demand Otherwise, it cannot be expected

How to Prevent Profanity.
From the cambridge Post-Searchlight.

One Of the greatest preventives OF pro-
family among clerks and statesmen is for a
town woman who has been to a card party
every afternoon in the week to drive up in
her car before a busy store on Saturday af-
ternoon that is crowded with shoppers and
honk and honk and honk for clerk to leave
the customer he has and come out there
to sell her a ive-cent spool OF old thread.
We know this keeps down profanity, be-
cause we have watched. Just this last Satur-
dav we watched town woman, that hasn't
thing on earth to do but run around drive
up to busy store where a sale was on and
the store was packed and honk her car for
thirty minutes trying to get some one to
come out and bring her that thread 1t does
seem like some women would get wise after
awhile to the fact that they are not SO alfred
important as they think they are, as well as
some few men we observe.
