The Ananias club are Home
Jonce more after their semi-an
; nual outing, spent this year near
j Round Pond in St Francis Coun
ty. The party reached home
• Friday afternoon over the Rock
Island.
The agreed upon report of
(their kill, seems to be “seven tur
nkeys and two deer.” Of course
| discrepancies have arisen in the
I stories of the various members,
,but this will be readily excused
in a club, who have so well merit
! ed the name they have chosen.
I Just because S. M. Stuckey
and Chris Saenger were honest
| enough to be frank about the
lluck the party had in killing
! game, the remaining members
are telling some rich stories on
(the two “quitters,” “How Chris
Saenger killed a ’possum” would;
make interesting reading, but!
jas Mr. Saenger is now in the;
nimrod business, we have refus
ed to publish the embarrassing

“There is a very decided re
j vival in industrial activity
i throughout the South. The
movement is on a much broader
scale than ever before in the his
tory of this section. It includes
|a wider range of industrial de
velopment, a broader advance
ment of diversified agriculture
| and a greater utilization of
j waste lands than would have
been deemed possible a few
years ago.
Detailed reports just complet-,
ed show that the South is spend-'
ing considerably more than $45,
000,000 this year in building i
good roads, or over 32 per cent!
of the amount that is being ex-i
pended in the whole country for;
this purpose.
English and Canadian capital-;
ists are making very heavy in- j
vestments in .the South, especial-1
ly in hydro-electric operations,
and also to some extent in iron j
interests. A company capitaliz-i
ed at $27,000,000, recently form- i
has just bought control of water'
powers and street railways ini
Georgia, and will issue $30,000,-!
000 of bonds for the develop-1
ment of about 300,000 horse-1
power for electrical transmission |
and the building and operation I
of interurban railroads. Its!
bonds and stock investment will j
aggregate $57,000,000.
The tendency toward the util
ization of hitherto useless mate-'
vial and the advancing scale ofi
scientific manufacture are indi-i
cated in the letting of contracts, I
just announced, for building ai
plant at a cost of $500,000 to i
$750,000 in Louisiana to •make!
ethyl alcohol out of sawdust and1
other waste pine products. This1
plant is to have a daily capacity }
of 5000 gallons of ethyl alcohol. )

These are only a few of the}
many illustrations which arei
daily seen of the broadening!
of the business life of the
South, the increasing real
ization on the part of outsiders |
as well as of its own people of
its limitless potentialities, and
of the Southward trend of mon
ey for development operations
of all kinds in manufactures, in
(reclamation work, in the utili
zation of cut-over pine lands and
in the building of factories to
use heretofore * waste material.
This broadening activity is. not i j
confined to any one part of the I
South or merely to a few lines!;
of industry. It is sweeping over I'
the whole section, from Mary

most every line of human activ

Mr. Burke preached well, us
ing as his subject “Halting,”
Text I Kings 18-21: “And Eli
jah came unto all the people, and
| said, How long halt ye between
two opinions? If the Lord be
God,'follow Him: but if Baal,
then follow him. And the peo
ple answered him not a word.”
| All the argument was convinc
ing with many sharp thunder
tones of logic. He told how a
^ doctor studied the New Testa
ment. He took a pencil and drew
! a long line. At the left of that
j line he wrote the name Baal and
under the name he wrote the
word transgression. To the
! right of the line he wrote Christ
Jesus and under that name he
( wrote righteousness. In the left
hand column he put the first
point as disobedience to parents,
next deceitful, proud boasters,
debaters, whisperers, fornica
tion, covetousness, malicious
ness, full of envy, back-biters,
haters of God, without under
standing, without natural affec
tions, unmerciful, murderers.
There is Baal’s list. Now put
them'to work and you have the
crowd on the left hand side.
On the right hand side with
Jesus jyid righteousness—First
the promises of God—For the
weary we find the call to rest
“Come unto me all ye that are
weary and all who labor and I
will give you rest, peace, happi
ness, hope, faith, love, comfort,
prosperity, meekness, brotherly
love, good report, light, sunshine,
happy homes, prosperity of nr.
tion, peace in death, and heav
en at last for all Eternity. Put
these to work and you Have the
right hand side. Now classify
yourself by following Baal or
Jesus. •v”'4"
What a picture—a man or wo
man on the side of satan calling
himself or herself a gentleman
or lady, and yet men will halt.
“If the Lord be God, follow I
Him.”

Burke on “What Will You Do
