Many of the Smaller Cities Are
Forming Parties to Go by s. A. l..
Many places in addition to Savannah
will be represented among the passen-
gers who will be aboard the Morning
News Special, when that train pulls
out on Aug. 90 next Wednesday, for
Old Point Comfort. Correspondence
that Assistant General Passenger
Agent C. B. Walworth of the Seaboard
Air Line has had indicates clearly
that parties of varying proportions will
be formed at a number of towns and
cities for the trip.
Brunswick, Americas, Cordele, Fitz-
gerald, Abbeville, Lyons, Claxton, Col
Inns, Statesboro and Darien all have
residents who expect to take the trip.
In fact, it will be difficult for any one
person from one Of the larger towns of
south Georgia to board the train with
cut finding some one from his own
home. This will insure everybody
knowing somebody else, so that the
trip cannot be dead. II will, on the
contrary, be full OF that lively inter-
est that comes from a trip to a new
land, and new resorts IN the company
OF ones own home people, who can
appreciate and enjoy sights and expe-
Henees with a perfect understanding.

TOO MUCH SLANG
Supt Ashmore and Col. Mercer Differ with
DR.. Granville Stanley Hall.

proper word than to use a slang ex-
preston and thus tend to fix bad
habit difficult to overcome in the flu
ture.
"Our young people use too much
slang already, and too often they
learn it from older people, as they
do many other bad habits. To say
nothing of the low, vulgar express
sions often heard in the speech of
the ignorant and uncultured classes,
the improper use of a reputable word
is too often heard among those whose
opportunities would lead us to expect
a more discriminating use of the
abundant supply of words in our Ian
guage.
TO the young lady of intense ex-
preston everything is nice, the
weather is nice, the ice cream is nice,
nice, and probably awfully nice. How
do you like my boots, love?' asked a
youthful bride. oh, they are i'm
mense!' he said. When the newspa-
pers tell their readers that Prof.
Blank went up in a balloon at the
Casino, then the great teachers in our
colleges and universities wish to be
called only plain Mr..
"Such unauthorized use of repu-
table words is slang "a spe-
cies of slang too often
used by those who could easily set a
better example.
Eyes, I am in favor of encouraging
children to cultivate a fluent express
sion by the free use of their tongues,
but I would guide them in the Selec-
ton of their words. Our language is
sufficiently full and expressive to rep
resent every shade of thought, and
~ t. aI,i Of
least, to resort to slang.
Col. MERGERS Views.
Col. George A. Mercer, president of
the Board of Education, when asked
for his views said: Il disagree with
DR.. Hall and hold that there is no
thought for which suitable words can
not now be found in the language.
Admit the plea that slang adds color
to the language; the thieves of New
York and of London have an entirely
language of slang yet are we to allow
our children to use the talk of thieves
MY chief objection to the works of
Kipling is that they are so filled with
slang, and for this reason I have new
er been an admirer of the writings of
that author. Then as to the plea
that slang adds strength, why nothing
adds so much strength to ones talk
as an oath and certainly no one would
advocate the teaching of profanity to
children"
Col. Mercer concluded by saying
that he thinks DR.. Hall has given
voice to the sentiments attributed to
him merely through a desire for no.
toriety. Slang shall never be allowed
in the Savannah schools, he said. so
long as / am president of the Board
of Education.

Painters Unions side of Interview
With County Commissioner.

Painters Unions Side of Interview
With County Commissioner.
The protest of a committee from the
Painters Union before the County
Commissioners at their last meeting,
against employing non citizens and
non-taxpayers by Contractor William
Taylor, in painting the Court House,
has created something of stir among
the union painters. A committee from
the union brought the following to
the Morning News yesterday for pub
lication:
1.-THE Painters Union wish to make
a reply to some statements by William
Taylor in publication in the Morning
News of Aug. Is: We, the Commit
tee of Painters Union, wish to say that
most of the statements are untrue.
We did not go to the County Commits
sioners to have men discharged, as is
said in the article in the Morning
News Our purpose was to intercede
for taxpayers and skilled labor. We
realized that nothing could be done so
far as this job was concerned, but we
thought we could show the commits
sioners the necessity of having some
one at the head of their work in the
future that would employ the right
sort of labor. Mr.. Taylor's statement
that he knew what he was doing, we
don't doubt, but we wish to let the
taxpayers of Chatham county know
what he is doing.
eve dispute that he has the best me-
chanics in the city; we further state
that there was not a union man on
the work, with the exception of two,
who were hired for a purpose since our
communication was sent the commits
SionerS.
"Mr. Taylor's assertion of calling out
the names of his men in turn and the
committee acknowledging their skill
could not be discounted, is not true.
His statement that there were men
in the union that he would not employ
because they could not be trusted in
side of houses, having a fondness for
drinking whiskey and breaking into
wine cellars, we brand as unqualified
ly untrue. Mr.. Taylor refers to work
done at Tybee. The men there were
not union men, nor residents of Sa-
vannah. The reputation of the mem
bers of Local Union No. 80 for hon
esty stands exalted. All those who
have had dealings with us know this
assertion is correct.
"Mr. Taylor says the chairman of the
Painters Committee had only been
here three years, and he had men
working for him who have been here
for fifteen years, but the chairman has
paid his taxes and is a voter in Chat
ham county-which is more than those
men, who have been here fifteen years
and all their lives, can say. Further
more, Mr.. Taylor has not a taxpayer
on his work. Mr.. Taylor's statement
that he proved before the commission
ers that he was paying rs to rs cents
more day to all men than the union
scale is Incorrect. He simply stated
same before them. One Of the COL
ored men he has employed. from Au-
gusta, acknowledged TO one OF our
members that he was working for 1928
per day. r. d. Elirander.

WOULD THEY BE
GOOD LAWYERS,
More Savannah Barristers Air Their Views on Al
hitting Women to the Bar

The right of women to practice law
in Georgia was topic generally dis
cussed by members of the bar yester-
dav, and many who read the opinions
expressed by several prominent bar
risters in the Morning News, discussed
these views and gave their own opin-
ions upon the advisability and possi-
bilities of admitting the gentler sex to
the state courts. With few excep-
lions they were opposed to the pro-
posed bill allowing the right to plead
and practice.
Mr.. j. R. Saussy said that while he
had not given the matter any consid-
Grafton until now, he had to give very
little thought to the subject before he
was thoroughly convinced that the
profession was not the proper sphere
for woman.
"Woman's field is broad enough to
engage her time, without her under
taking to become a lawyer" said Mr..
Saussy. She might do we'll as a spe-
cialist in certain branches of the law,
would be totally untitled.
1T is a morbid ambition on the part
OF few, who do not realize what re-
probabilities the profession calls for,
and for their own protection the law
should not allow it. Exactly as the
law throws around woman many APP
parent disabilities which are provided
entirely for her benefit, so would
failure to get the proposed bill through
be a restriction upon the possibility
of their doing what would be detri-
mental to them.
AbrOgate Distinction Between
THE distinction between the sexes
was never intended to be abrogated,
and every inroad of this character
whereby they are encouraged to do
anything which breaks down this dis
tinction is detrimental to the high re-
spect which woman should occupy in
social life, and is injurious to her
sex.
1T is not a question of Intellectual
superiority of man, but of the duties
which they would necessarily be forced
to perform.
THE Environments of a lawyer in the
general practice are utterly lncompar-
ible with the virtues and graces which
should adorn and beautify female
character, and is calculated to deprive
them of the high esteem in which they
ought to be held for the protection of
society,"
u hope" Mr.. Saussy added, that
our representatives in the Legislature
will consider the question very care
fully before they pledge themselves to
the bill which they say is pending. I
have no hesitancy in putting myself
on record as opposed to such a legis-
lative enactment"
MIR. Charlton Got Humorous.
Mr.. Walter G. Charlton was asked
his views on the much mooted ques-
ton His views, though pervaded
with humor,, he declares are entirely
philosophical and says that it is with
diffidence that he commits himself at
all.
"A few years ago." Mr.. Charlton
said, my views on the subject would
have been very pronounced, but so far
as 1 can see now there is nothing
that a woman wants to do that she
