MAN WHO TOOK FLAG
IN BATTLE OF ATLANTA

To the Editor of The Journal:
Sir-I have something that has interest
ed me since was in your city last year.
and / think and feel sure that II will in
terest you. It is this: While was in your
city 1 went out to Grant park, 20 the
cyclorama. and viewed the battle around
Atlanta After returned home I was
telling about this great painting and
what / saw on 1t, etc. and a man living
here told me that he was in the fighting
around there; that he was one OF the men
who ran over the breastworks and took
the flag from the Union men. This you
can plainly see in this painting. This was
a daring deed, and do think the people
of Atlanta ought to honor this man by
giving him a free pass to Atlanta. He
says he is anxious to go If he was able.
He is an honorable. upright, honest citi-
zen, a farmer, and Is a neighbOr and
friend of mine. He says the man who
helped him take this flag was named
Gentry, and thinks his given name was
Henry. He would like for you TO make
some inquiries through The Journal as TO
Gentrys whereabouts. The one who help
ed him take this flag. He says he has
not heard Of him since just before the
close of the war. Now, / ask that you
publish this and see IL you cannot make
up a free trip for him. feel interested In
this enough to get and send his affidavit
to this II 1t is necessary.
With best wishes for The Journals sue
cess. as 1t is a welcome visitor every is
sue into my house, beg to remain very
respectfully, B. E. JONES.

PRESENT EDUCATIONAL
METHODS DON'T REACH MASSES

To the Editor of The Journal:
AS many men Of many minds are at
present struggling with the question OF
education, you viii allow few lines
from an humble reader of your valuable
paper on this subject. With all the
thousands of money that is spent annual
ly for magnificent buildings and Libraries
II is only benefiting the class Of people
who are able to go in the height Of fashion
and style. The children of the poor people
in the rural sections get no benefit what
ever. Our institutions OF learning are al
most perfect. But the deserving young
man and woman have not the means to
get to them This is the obstacle to be
surmounted. And II can be done.
No one dare deny that the future or our
state depends on the educational training
of her youth. Seventy-five per cent OF
our substantial business men Of today
have gone from the pillow handles.
Now let us provide some means Tor
these ambitious young boys and girls to
secure a training and an education 1 am
not able to give much, but will give as
much in proportion to my ability as any
man in Georgia to establish a fund 70 De
loaned to this class of people. In fact, II
will not be giving, for any ambitious boy
or girl had rather borrow the money tnan
to have IT given them. And by charging
a small interest the fund once started will
hundred men of this state could put IN
800, and several more hundred could put
in $40, $40, or so much as they were able.
There would be no loss, but a gain from
the start, and some friend to education
might make an occasional contribution 10
the fund Regulations can be put on ap-
plicants in order to prevent dead beats
getting q loan.
/ know personally of dozens OF worthy
girls and boys right in Atlanta who, with
a little help from such a fund, could be-
come useful men and women. And II Is
doubtless true in every other section OF
the state.
A young man now in my section Is very
anxious to attend a medical college in At
lanta this fall, but he has not got the
means He is in every way worthy and
would make a useful man in the profess
sion. Many such cases in the state as his.
also. 1 am in a position to appreciate his
position, for a few years ago was In his
fix. and had to work at night and attend
school during the day to get what educa-
ton / have.
would be very glad to have some OF
the educational workers agitate this and
help TO get the worthy children of the
rural districts some benefit Of the much
money that is being spent for educational
purposes. Respectfully.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
At CLEMSON COLLEGE

CLEMSON COLLEGE, s. c.. Aug. L.
Everything points to a very large attend
ance at the Farmers Institute which
began today and closes Saturday.
These Institutes started three years ago.
The first was attended by fewer than .
dozen people; the second by 200 and the
third by 500. The fourth. now in session.
promises to be still more largely attend
ed. Already there are many prominent

UP a regular line of customers which he
can hold year after year as long as he
gives satisfaction. Some customers will,
of course buy from the cheapest man, but
the majority prefer to deal with the most
reliable one. People are fastidious about
their fruit Far more so than about their
bread or meat. Fruit should please the
eye as well as the palate. The aesthetic
element has more or less to do with its
sale. People buy II largely because 1t is
pretty and fragrant. Stale fruit that has
lost its color and fragrance has small at

willing to pay more for ripe, fresh fruit,
but they consume more Of It, A line Of

effective II It could be generally adopted
by the cotton farmers, or at least by all
the large and influential cotton planters.
My idea is this: Let all cotton farmers
in pitching their next crops plant for only
half crop and then enter the future mar
ket and sell the number of bales represent
ing shortage in amount planted. Thea
utilize the land that would have gone to
cotton in cattle or some other kind of
crop.

states to adopt some organized plan sim
