"To the Law and to the Testimony"

Editor Dawson News: At the last quar-
terly conference OF the Cuthbert Methodist
Episcopal church for 1924 | made this state
ment: The first rural Sunday school was
planted by Primitive Baptists in 1870, when
Barkamp Baptist church, in Burke county,
Ga was constituted. Among the men form
ing the church were Zebulon Cooke, his son
John Cooke, his step-son James Fields Can
cestor of the Walters OF Albany and Cuth-
bert), Samuel Inman, Sconyers, Hines Tan
cestors of Justice Hines OF the supreme
COURT, and Scarborough The pastor presld-
ing over the presbytery was Benjamin w.
Dawes. The two Cookies were respectively
my grand and great grandfather B. W.
Dawes, and my great grandfather on my
mothers side. In 1894 the church in confer
ence resolved: Whereas, an open Bible is
useless unless one can read, and great many
Of our citizens cannot read; resolved that on
the first of january, 1906 we will establish
on each Sabbath, meeting at eight o'clock in
the morning school to teach reading writ
ing and arithmetic and sacred music; that
the church will purchase sufficient spelling
books to supply each family with one, and
that the Bible shall be the reading book; that
dinner will be brought by those attending and
the day spent in studying until three o'clock
when one hour will be given to the study of
sacred music" One of the rules of the de-
COIulll Hdue Ill l/SU Was. he uIdHuIdCluI-

Reducing Public Debt.

During the last four years the public debt
of our country has been reduced some $685.
100000, and the annual interest charge on
the government has been reduced from $780,
100000 to $865,OOO,OOO Speaking before the
regular sem-annual meeting OF executive OF
fcials of the government President Coolidge
said The people of this nation have been
not only patient under the heavy burden of
war taxation, they have been heroic. Their
burden of taxation has been greatly light
ened, but our fight must be for further re-
duction of the burden of the people Our ma
ton is prosperous. Its prosperity is due
largely to the economy which has been eff
fected in the cost of government. 1t is this
economy that has encouraged business, abol-
ished unemployment, made wages high and
work plentiful 1t is this economy which has
enabled US since 1921 to reduce public
debt so materially. 1t is this economy which
has enabled the reduction in taxes"

Awakened Old Memories.

Mitchell J. Webb, who was reared in Ter
rell county, writes in the last issue of the
North Gulch (Texas) Commonwealth, Of
which he is editor:
Most people like to read "reminiscences OF
the past and delve in resurrected history,
especially when it is even remotely related to
the reader himself The writer had a taste of
this pleasure this week through the medium
of his old home paper, The Dawson Ga.
News.
One of the variations was that when Gen.
Andrew Jackson marched into Florida to quel
the Seminole Indians he crossed Chenubbee
creek and drank water from a spring at the
foot of a white oak tree near the ford This
was near an Indian village which gave the
creek its name and about mile from my
boyhood home; and l have drunk from the
same spring many times as have thousands,
OF other before the tree died and the spring
became extinct.
A few miles further down the same creek
near its junction with the Nochway, we used
often to pass an old Indian battle-ground
where the white women fought by the side
of their husbands and brothers. One woman
brought down an Indian at each OF two sue
cessive shots.
A romantic incident is associated with the
same spot
Farther up in the state Indians had stolen
the girl and a young man to whom she was
engaged to be married gathered a few friends
and followed the rowing red skins, overtak-
ing them at this old battle-ground. They APP
preached the Indian camp about dusk as the
Indians had stopped to prepare supper. While
they were preparing the meal the young man
observed the girl short distance away tied
to tree.
Stealthily he crept up to where she was
and hurriedy cut the thong that bound her,
but in his hurry and excitement he cut off
one OF her fingers.
However, he had rescued the girl; and the
old gentleman and his attendants rushed up
on the indians and stampeded them, they
even leaving their horses and equipment, as
we'll as their half-cooked meal.
1t is not necessary to read fiction for men,
tai excitement and pleasure-One has only
to know the equally interesting incidents of
real life

Child Marriages.

The rapidly increasing number Of depend
ent young widows with children has led sew
eral states to inquire into their marriage
laws To illustrate, widow of 20 with five
children became a public charge; another
of IS had three children. 1t was found that
while compulsory education laws require
school attendance till 10 marriage laws per-
NIT matrimony at r. In IA states the mar
riageable age is fixed at II years.
To the Investigations undertaken the Rus
sell Sage Foundation contributed some very
pertinent information IT made public sur
vey which showed that in the United States
there are 667 900 wives who were less than
10 years old when they married The survey
also disclosed wide discrepancies OF ages be-
tween wives and husbands, some OF the latter
being old enough to be their wives grand
fathers. Worse than all else it discovered
that in many instances girls in their teens
were encouraged to marry by their parents.
From purely economical viewpoint child mar
riages are pronounced costly to society, while
from the matrimonial viewpoint they are de-
c1ared generally unfortunate and temporary.

The Science of Spanking.
From the Wichita Beacon.

DR.. Rudolph NJ. Binder, professor of So
GEOLOGY at New York University, defends the
old-fashioned spanking as the most effective
and perhaps least cruel Of punishments for
disobedent children. And according to the
professor, children with any initiative OF their
own are bound to disobey.
Spanking impresses naughty children when
nothing else will, the sociologist declared.
Being put to bed or being compelled to sit in
a chair soon become commonplace and lose
their corrective power, he said but spanking
always is dependable. DR.. Binder recon-
mends, however, that the child be induced to
lie down OF his own accord for the punish
ment instead of being dragged across his
parents knee, in order to avoid making him
a victim Of brute force.
The "jazz baby" of San Francisco, who
killed her mother because her mother object
ties, was never spanked, she said.
Baby Peggy the high-salaried but youthful
film star was spanked early and often.
We do not recall ever hearing of any
criminal who thought that spanking contrib
uted to his or her delinquency, but a good
many OF them in their honest moments have
said that if they had been spanked more they
would have been better citizens
And now that eminent sociologist has
joined the prospankers there is dignihed
backing to the movement.
If it becomes fashionable there will be a
decided let-up in high school gin parties and
pocket flask episodes and neurotic joy rides.
Washington has a strict law against unnec-
essary noises, exclusive of congress, and in
New York state no ordinary citizen is al
lowed to carry a gun.

Archaic Preaching,

A generation ago there were found through
out the country preachers OF various denom-
nations who belonged to the old school OF
elhortation They preached what was called
'hellhre and birthstone" theft sermons Tor
the most part consisting of warning against
the penalties of sin Rarely did they present
the most beautiful side OF Christianity, por-
traying the delights to be had from right
eous life and describing the mercy forgive
ness and compassion of the holy ghost. 1t
was more to their liking to wage a militant
war against sin and the devil, and the way
they scared some hardened sinners with tales
of pitchforks and molten metals and other de
vices to be found in the neither regions was
frghtful.
The old time preacher has been replaced
with an entirely different type. He IS the
preacher who considers his work high pro-
fession, who undertakes his task as one of
dignity and applies himself more as an in
terpreter of the Bible than as a guard set to
turn the people back from hell with highly
imaginative stories of what will happen to
them if they go on. Still that old time preach
er is to be found yet in sections OF the coun-
try. Evansville, Ind. has one at least IN the
person OF Rev Harold NJ Cordel. The SER
mon he preached in the storm-ravaged town
of Griffin. Ind, on the Sunday following that
catastrophe. in which he said God had visit
ed affection on the wicked" by sending
tornado to wreck their homes and take their
lives, was a sample of archaic preaching. Rev
Mr.. Cordell protested to believe that the
havoc of the storm was atOnement for wick
edness that caused the tornado to wipe Crit
fin off the map"
In this day of enlightenment sermons OF
this kind are repugnant. Any one with aver
age common sense knows storms are the
result of physical conditions. They are not
spiritual in any sense. Storms show no mer-
CIV. They kill and MAIN and destroy the
righteous along with the wicked. Sinners
even may escape as the pious die horrible
deaths So are all the elements merciieSS
when uncontrolled Fire will consume tender
babies and gentle Christian women Just as 1t
will destroy the dregs of humanity stepped
| in the deepest sin.
Such preaching as Rev. Mr.. Cordell dld at
Griffin is archaic and injurious. That KIND
Of preaching traduces providence, because 1t
nortravs God as cruel That is not true re
lpion and it never was. 1t can never be.

Under False Colors.

Tim Nevin has found "a curious thing and
tells about it in the Atlanta Georgian as fol
lows: "a group of sweet potato growers in
middle Georgia last year because marketing
facilities available in their section were very
bad. sold their output to a South Carolina
concern, whence they were shipped through
the South Carolina marketing board as South
Carolina potatoes. The Georgia producers did
not complain at the price they were paid;
but they were somewhat chagrined to dis
cover that their potatoes were shipped as
South Carolina rather than Georgia pota-
toes"
Georgians buy large quantities OF their
own products that are shipped away, prepar-
ed for market and returned here under labels
indicating they were produced in other states.
That's another thing that's the matter with
Georgia, and in a measure retards its growth
and prosperity. Georgia products should be
prepared for market in Georgia and bought
bv Georgia people AS Mr.. Nevin says, the
very finest sweet potato in the world is rails
ed in Georgia; there is no other so rich in
coloring or so palatable," and it is pluperfect-
" ridiculous that we should buy them as the
products OF another state.
The remedy, Mr.. Nevin thinks is cooper
alive marketing, which ENSURES stabilized and
profitable markets, in South Carolina, in Geor-
gia-anywhere and the state that perfects
its cooperative marketing plans is the state
that is going to progress and wax rich

Rural People and Divorce.
From the Country Gentleman.

America may hold the record for the num-
Der OF divorces, but this record will not be
much augmented by the rural population.
Life on farm is a business partnership be-
tween husband and wife, whereas in the city
the home and business are separate. Finally,
there is the bond of children. They are more
closely associated with the parents than city
children and the bonds are closer. These are
not easy to break. These, however, are all
material reasons. Back of them are the old
folk ways founded upon religion and untold
centuries of human experience, that have
proved to the race that hasty marriages and
hasty divorces are social evils. Country peo-
pie live closer to the eternal verities than do
people in crowded cities. They retain keener
sense of mora values and they are more deep
ly stepped in the old and proved virtues.
Fundamentally they are more religious and
live closer to God They still look upon birth,
marriage and death as sacraments, and to
them divorce except for grave causes, is
odious
