 City editors throughout the country are informed by some person or persons in New York that a certain denominational preacher of Savannah, Ga., will today sound from his pulpit praise of and plea for a certain unelean book, which is de- nominated '"The new sensational sex novel" This preacher mans sermon" is given in advance, thus lending the impress ion that it Is a matter Of paid advertising, and concerning this book, which would be poisonous to any young girl or boy in Bir- mingham or out of it, he says:
 "This book is full of the fire of human nature, but it is not for that reason to be condemned hastily. It is not sin for human nature to be aroused. The question is. Whence was the spark that lit it-from heaven or from hell? Our human bodies were given us with purpose that well tba of hum nae The word purpose" is printed in Italics. Yet that. man sets himself up-is "called," heaven save the mark!-to. teach the Cos pei according to Saint Matthew!
 Spiritual love needs the furnace of hu- man passion" declares this preacher per- son of Savannah. This man, in the garb of piety and in the pulpit of a Christian church, will thus today, unless the Lord strike him down, preach in support of a thing against the accursed power of which all men and women have prayed since primal man began to people the earth; thing so monstrous in its effects that even savage tribes of today seek to restrain it by nameless tortures and the death penalty!

There fore, George Jones is constantly in the best of company open to young man in Ala bama; and it is not too much to say that he is worthy of that distinguished com pany There is one thing jolly well cer- tain: if he wasn't, he couldn't. MT. Jones Is learned in law, is of marked executive ability for man so young in years. More over he Is wel-minded, well-conditioned, generous, companionable, manly. That's George Jones.
 Amongst the associates of MT. Jones on the committee of invitations are some very notable Alabamians.

The cost of red and black ink was not considered for a moment. The lines were drawn as true and tight as the stays of a vessel. The figures were the very A. B. C.'s of arithmetic. The state ment was plainer than the homeliest girl in Chrstendom. It could almost be read up- side down, and never was there a more grateful woman than this Virginia lady.

So I kept silent, and re- celved her thanks with a guilty conscience
 'In the darkest lives there are moments of joy. At times. rare 1t is true, she felt inclined to speak of former days. Then 1t was that she told of an old house on the banks of a river, in an historic land. It was not very great house, but the aroma of home clung to 1t, and once I caught tear in her eye as she spoke of her girlhood days, of the riding and the dancing and the feasting, of him whom she had loved, and of her father and her mother-spoken in tones that were the most artless, yet the truest eulogy ever pronounced over this man and wife who slept in the old grave yard under the chestnut trees.
 Happy days of childhood mellowed in lifes memories, tender thoughts of bygone scenes, of a Virginia sun shining on

Its memor- ies were too sad, for with the Federal dead were buried many of the Confederates, and among the latter was young officer who carried with him to the grave the heart of d woman. The spot witnessed no more so- cial gatherings. Nothing assembled the family but successive funerals, when one by one they were laid away in the burial ground down by the meadow.
 'Of all the virtues the rarest and most beautiful is charity, or what would perhaps better express it--generosity. To withhold the unkind word, to refrain from taking advantage, to do good for evil, not to kick the dog who is down, not to kick any dog!
