A GOOD WORD FROM AN OLD MAN
FOR THE BENEFIT OF HIS FELLOWMAN

AT the last it bitteth like a serpent
and stingeth like an adder" Prov.
1881. Needing his advice | became a
total abstainer while yet young. | have
never even drank bottle of what is
called soft drinks, and intend never
to do so.
am sorry to acknowledge that
when quite a boy | learned to play
cards. | had two brothers older than
myself at home-school boys-and a
lschool boy boarding at our home who
was nearly grown. These boys got
hold of a deck of cards-it required
four to play their game-so they
taught me to play | will never forget
how fascinating card playing became
to us, but finally one night the larger
boys got to disputing over game and
came very near getting into a fight,
so that broke VI our card playing.
never did gain nor lose money by bet
ting on anything. Like other boys in
those days | had no money. We had
plenty to eat and clothes to wear and
work to do, therefore we had no mon
ey, nor did we need any We were
far better off without it than we
would have been with it.
The baseball came in vogue years
before l lost my sight, and believing
from the first it to be a curse and
should not be approved and encour-
aged by my presence | never witness
ed a game, and would not have done
SO up to this time if l had retained
my sight.
| never used tobacco, neither chew
ing nor smoking.
Will say in conclusion that by ma
ture was totally depraved, and
though with the corrupt nature
avoided all these questionable and
sinful habits, and in my old age can
say that | am glad that l did so, and
would advise all young persons who
have never taken up any Of these hab-
its never to do so. If you have begun
any of them leave them off now while |
you can. Will also say have. never de
pended upon what | have done and |
what | have not done for salvation,
but my sole dependence for salvation
is by grace, through faith in Christ,
as my personal savior.

AN $8,16o,000 TAX CLAIM
LOST BY NEW YORK LIFE
Ruling in Favor of Government Bars
100000 Refund to Concerns.

The United States government IS
announced victor in test case
brought by the New York Lie In
surance Company TO recover $685.
918 which the company claimed was
overpaid as federal taxes in 1921. The
ruling, Assistant Federal Attorney
Crawford said, saved the treasury de
partment from refunding 100000
claimed by other insurance companies.
The decision held that the company
was not entitled to deduct from its
gross income premiums paid on pay
ments in excess of the actual cost Of
insurance made by deferred dividend
policyholders the year previous" The
company based its case on provisions
OF the revenue act OF 1913, which pro-
vided for deduction from gross income
in any one year of over-payments OF
premiums by policyholders.

CORN PRODUCTION
IN GEORGIA SHORT
HEAVY SLUMP IN PEANUTS is
FORECAST. RECORD TOBAC-
co PRODUCTION.

According to the monthly crop re-
port by the Georgia cooperative crop
reporting service OF the United States
bureau Of agriculture OF economies a
shortage is estimated Tor the 1925 corn
crop in the state. A great increase in
the production OF tobacco is forecast
Peanurs. according to the report, have
experienced a heavy decline during the
last month.
Prospects indicate production OF
45,573.000 bushels OF corn, which is
over 100000 bushels short OF last
wear and 100000 bushels below the
fve-vear average production.
The low corn condition figure re-
ported for the state is due largely to
very poor prospects in great part OF
the Piedmont section because OF the
prolonged drought. Except in few
favored localities the crop is very sor-
~. and in many instances practically
failure in the northern part OF the
state. In most OF this area rains have
been very spotted and inadequate since
planting
A South Georgia Year.
From standpoint OF production
this is distinctly a south Georgia year,
the condition in this area being TAR
TO very good, although late corn has
deteriorated somewhat in the last two
weeks The main corn crop in TINS
part OF the state is practically made
and good yields are expected
Production for the United States IS
over 100000 bushels greater than
the 1924 crop, the figure being nearly
5000. 000.0 coo bushels against about p
500 100000 bushels last year.
The largest tobacco crop ever pro- |
duced in Georgia started through
marketing channels July %, the open
ing date Of warehouse sales. Indicated
production will total somewhat under |
50.000.000 pounds. according to reports |
Of correspondents. There are a. ware
houses being operated this year against |
70 in 1924 The average price per
pound received this year Tor the hrst
two weeks is somewhat lower than
for the corresponding period last year.
Peanuts have experienced a heavy |
decline during the last month, and this |
deterioration in condition, together |
with a Is per cent reduction in acre
age from last year, indicates a yield !
OF SIS pounds per acre, with a total
production OF 100000 pounds, as
compared with 1l8,800000 pounds in
1924
Reports from important producing
sections OF Georgia indicate good nuts /
and fair to good prospects.

while growth and production have
been phenomenal, we are still import
ing fifteen millions of dollars worth
of chickens and eggs and hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars worth of baby
chicks"
Professor Wood said there are many
advantages in poultry raising which
Georgia can boast of. Long breeding
seasons, he said, can give six months
in which incubation and brooding can
be done successfully and mild winters
make it easy TO obtain eggs when
prices are highest.
