An EARLY Georgia Monster.

In the fore part Of August. 1872, a
party of hunters found in mountain
Gus region now known as Rabun coun-
ty. Ca. being nearly eight feet high
covered with blush hair and having
human face adorned with immense
ears resembling those of an ass. The
creature was stone deaf and on that
account seemed wholly unconscious of
the approach of the men. This mon
ster seems. from old accounts, to have
been seen upon several occasions dur
ing the next four years. :
In 1916 a number of adventures
from Virginia. most of them surveyors
working up the unexplored portions Of
Georgia and the Carolinas. formed
themselves into party for the express
purpose of capturing the uncanny be-
ing if pusSille. They secured the hills
2rd valleys for several days and at last
returned unsuccessful to the starting
point
I'll. many tales told Of this extraordi-
nary being Saem to have created quite
!, stir all along the Atlantic coast. A
pri!:!td circular issued by land COM
pany in 1918 says. The climate of
Georgia is exceedingly mild. the soil
productive. and the danger Of attack
from uncoGth beasts which are repre-
sentsd as being half beast and half
man are fairy tales not worthy of con-
sideration" .-.

right to take his calling so lightly and
that If be did not owe it to his reputa-

ARE BARREDOUT
UNITED PREsaYTERiANs OPPOSE
ADMISSION OF SECRET
SOCIETY PEOPLE.
CHANGE OF CREED ADOPTED

Action of the General Assembly Inter.
terpreted to Mean That It Forbids
the Receiving Of Members of Secret
Orders Into the Church and Expels
Those Members of the Church Who
Are Now in Such Societies.
Des Moines, May 29.-By a vote Of
80 to 60 the general assembly of the
United Presbyterian church adopted
the report of the judiciary committee
upon the change of creed with regard
10 Article Is.
This is interpreted to mean that it
forbids the admission of members of
secret societies to the church and ac-
cording to some of the delegates ex-
pels those belonging to the church
which are now members of secret
orders.
When the general assembly, convened
for the day it Immediately plunged
into discussion of the report of the
judiciary committee as to the change
in creed with regard to adj
hitting members of secret orLers into
the church. Rev. R. G.. Campbell of
College Spring. Ia, moved to amend
the report by striking out the follow
ing section on the ground that it was
a tacit endorsement of secret socie-
ties:
This action is not to be construed
as to exclude from the church the
membership of large number of So
cieties which are not bound by oath or
affirmation or do not pledge to secrecy
in things unknown or inculcate
Christian religion"
DR.. J. A Grier. chairman of the
committee on Judiciary, protested
against the change for the reason that
there has been a constant call for a
definition.
The article" said the doctor, "does
not put such societies as the G. A. R.
under the ban and on the other hand
We are not endorsing them"
DR.. ]. H. McClerken of Philadelphia
favored the judiciary report because
1t Disseminated between the good and
bad secret societies.
In closing up the debate on the sub
ject Dr. Grier said:
81 am ashamed of the United Pres
byterian church in its shutting in the
matter In the report we say we shall
not take pagans into the church. even
if they are called Masons. We say la
boring men. Grand Army men and
such have rights in the church"
What will be the effect of this re-
port asked DR.. Mcconnell, ION those
who are already Masons and in the
church,"
That is "a most difficult thing to
handle" said DR.. Grier, but when
men know the truth and do not do it,
to them it is to be counted sim"
Rev E. R. Little offered an amend
ment which would permit of Masons
to become members of the church but
it was voted down.
Then care the vote on the amend
ment offered by Rev. Mcconnell and it
was also voted down. The report was
then adopted.

ASSEMBLY PROCEEDINGS.
Lively Debate Over Approval of the
Minutes.

Philadelphia, May 29.-The Presby-
terrain general assembly engaged in
lively debate over the approval of the
minutes. Rev. DR.. j. d. Moffatt OBJ
jected TO the phraseology of the reso-
luton creating the committee on revi-
sion. The resolution authorized the
continuance of DR.. Dickey's committee
and DR.. Moffatt claimed that this COM
mittee had been dissolved when their
report was adopted. He therefore sug-
gested that the records be made to
show that a new committee was ap-
pointed even though its membership
should consist of the old committee.
The wording of the resolution was
accordingly altered and the minutes
were adopted.
Then arose the. question as to the
craftsmanship of the committee. DR..
Herrick Johnson said in view of the
fact that DR.. Dickey had acted as
chairman of the old committee IL
would be discourteous to select a new
chairman. A motion was made en-
towering the committee to elect their
own chairman. but this was defeated.
Dr. James e. Moffatt of Cumber-
land, Md, said that DR.. Dickey had
been made chairman of the last com
mittee because of his office as moder-
election of Moderator Minton as chair
man of the new committee on resolu.
tion and the motion was carried.
