The music for the service yesterday

by Rev. Latimore of the Presbyterian

Rev. Hubbell Of the Christian church.

Rev. Chase Of the Congregational

The sermon by DR.. Euster was based
upon words found In the Sth chapter Of
Nehemiah. where II Ia declared that
there was very great gladness among
the people of Israel when they held

FARMERS OPPOSE GOVERNMENT
RATE-NIAKING.
National Farmers Congress, in An

Important Action.

National Farmers Congress- III All
nuaI Session at Richmond, Takes
Important Action.
RICHMOND, September Is. - The
growing opposition among shippers
and producers everywhere to the fix
inc of railway rates by government
authority, as proposed by the Esch-
Townsend bill and similar measures,
is indicated by the action OF the Far
mers' National Congress yesterday at
it's annual convention here. The con-
oress is made up of representative far
mers from every state in the country
the representation from the sOuJh ana
middle west being especially large.
Last year the congress was IN FAVOR
Ofgivlng the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the power to nix railroad
rates, and resolutions to this ehect
we're introduced this year, and were
supported in able speeches by Con-
gresham Adams of Wisconsin and
others. But the members OF the con-
gress were convinced that government
regulation of rates, with the conse-
uuent fixing of these rates on ADJUST
ance basis, would mean that they
would be compelled to pay more Tor
shipping their products to markets,
or that the middlemen would have to
nav more, in which case it would come
out of the farmers pockets.
While declaring strong y against
rebates and unjust determinations,
and in favor of the enforcement of the
existing laws on these subjects, the far
mers refused to endorse the PROPOSE
ton to give to any government, BODY
the power to name the actual rate
which railroad shall charge for the
transportation of freight The reso'
lutions adopted are as follows:
WHEREAS, We favor the active en-
forcement by the general government
of all existing laws, in order to pre-
| vent the giving or acceptance OF spe
cial favors Through whatever device
| to or by favored shippers; and
WHEREAS, We expect that the In
terstate Commerce Commission VII
aggressively and promptly apply al
remedies at their disposal; now, there
| fore,
RESOLVED, That if the existing laws
for the detection and punishment o
| the giving or acceptance of such re
bates or special favOrs are insufficlen
or defective in any respect we favOl
the enactment of such further legisla
ton as may be necessary Adequately
to deal with the evil and to proven
such practices in the future.

SOME ANSWERS AMAZING
WHAT EXAMINATION PAPERS OF
WOULD-BE TEACHERS REVEAL.
Questions on Historical Subjects Are
Handled in an Interesting if Not
an Enlightened Manner.


A veritable game of cross questions
| and crooked answers was the recent
teachers examination, conducted by
County School Commissioner Wilkin-
son, as far as some of the negro APP
plicants for license were concerned.
Perhaps the most amusing answers
were given to questions in history, al
though the queries in physiology and
geography brought forth information
strange and startling.
But history was literally made! An
Gent, medieval and modern person
ages were grouped in the same gener-
alton, and made to work out stimuli
taneously glorious achievements and
lofty deeds. TO the question, "Who
fought the battle of Buena Vista, and
name some of the southern heroes"
one of the applicants for pedagOgic
rights blithely enumerated "Sir Wal
ter Raleigh, Captain John Smith and
James Habersham. Another histO
rian stated positively that "the battle
of Buena Vista was fought during the
civil war, and the north was beat.
The heroes of the south were Grant,
Meade and Habersham."
AS to the cause of the war of 1872
expert opinion was divided. One de-
clared ''the war of 1912 was caused by
the interference of the war of 1921, and
the English taken as a prize 5000
American vessels. Another alleged
with equal positiveness that "the cut
ting of the Erie canal was the cause
of the conflict" Still another assert
ed that France, England and the
United States we're trying to be great
err than each other, which was the
cause, and English succeeded"
Said one writer of historical facts:
Seen. Lee was a great general. He
won many successful battles, and was
killed in the battle of Chickamauga. "
This from another: Lewis and
Clark expedited Alaska, drawn by
sleighs.H
A grammarian, perhaps wondering
at the SIMPLICITY Of the question: an
swered; IA complete verb is one that
has all of its meanings" Cities of
China were placed in the United
States, and islands we're moved from
sea to sea with perfect equanimity.
AS to just what counties compose
this congressional district opinions
differed. But it is safe assertion
that nearly ali of them from Rabun's
Gap to Tybee's light were by one
and another brought into this terrific
ry. Perhaps, however, this was the
most comprehensive answer of all:
1.-The counties of this congressional
district are those which congress rep
sents, and are Lee, Jefferson, ETC.. j"
