On American Religion

convention OF the Free Religious AS.
ISOLATION Of America, Rev. Edward
Everett Hale gave the principal ad.
dress. He said In part:
MY four years in Washington have
given me an excellent opportunity to
study the religion Of America and
find that Il consists OF ecclesiasticism
and not service.
There were IS religious conventions
in the city during the last session Of
congress-l2 yeeks-and all that was
attempted or done was to perpetuate
the life of themselves. Eccleslasticism
stops progress all the world over; the
thing they ought to seek Is progressive

CHILDREN LEAVING
MILL FOR SCHOOL
More Than 800 Homes In Bibb
County Effected
BY THE CHILD LABOR LAW
Mil Owners Instruct Superintendents
to Obey the Law In Its Strictest
Form-Enough Children for Large
School in One District.

Macon, Ca, Feb. 4.-More than
800 homes in Bibb county have been
affected by the child labor law since
it began operation Jan. / +, this year
and as a result several hundred chill
dren who have heretofore earned a
living for themselves and the other
members of the family, are now en-
joying the school privileges provided.
In this community mill owners have
given instructions to their superin-
tendents to observe the law in the
strictest form regarding the employ
ment of children That they have
determined not to violate the law and
undertake operation of machinery in
the mills by children who should be
in the schools is everywhere appar-
ent.
In the Willingham cotton mill dis
trict there are enough children for a
large school who are awaiting the
erection of fine building promised by
c.. B. Willingham. He has asked
that the Bibb system employ the
teachers, and this course may be fol-
lowed as soon as the opportunity to
act upon the proposition is afforded
In the other mill districts such steps
have been taken as will assure the
children the school privileges.
The investigator finds a Wonderful-
ly strong inclination among the mill
n o1InyT nf
children, to violate the child labor
law. Numbers of men who own inter-
ests in the mills are among the lead
ing educators and some are members
of the board of education The fact
that the school system of Bibb is in
such excellent condition is more due
to the interest men Of public affairs
have taken in the schools than to any
other cause and he new law seems
universally to have been taken with
good faith and a determination to
see that the children have the bene-
fits.
Superintendent c. B Chapman, of
the system OF schools, is apprised
Of the efforts Of the prominent men
to take care of the children and has
taken advantage of the instructions
to mill superintendents not to allow
children under the limit of the law to
work i'll he mills. He is watching
the cEect Of the law in the system
with view of getting yet larger
numbers of the children in the mill
districts iAto the schools
In those schools near the mills the
attendance has been materially in
creased and the result in this county
will be a larger percentage of at
tendance iii the mill districts than
ever before in the history of the sys-
tenn.

WAR Is UNTHINKABLE,
Japanese Understand Americans Too
Well


Toxic, Feb. 4.-Baron Kanel1o,
formerly special envoy to the United
States, says war is untinkable.
The Japanese understand America
better than the Americans understand
Japan" he said. "a great majority
of the men holding public positions
here were educated by Americans in
structed by American instructors and
have long studied American institu-
tions. Now, throughout the present
and otherwise, they are helping the
people to appreciate the difficulty the
federal government lies under in
controlling the action of the individ
ual states. Hence, after the first
phase segregation question, the people
gained confidence in the sympathy
which a great majority of the Ameri-
cans still have toward Japan Japan S
moral system insists that finger shall
never be raised against benefactor.
Japan owes her position among the
powers to America. The American
government and people, with Eng
land are Japans best friends. War
is unthinkable.

several miles from town, HalrI:

killed his bro her, Newton Strickland
with a single barreled shotgun
The story as told by the young fel
low, who was arrested and placed be-
hind the bars in the Hall county jail
is that he and his brother, Newton
Strickland. were at the latters house
Harris having in charge a younger
bro her
Newton Strickland, according to
Harris, wanted the ittle fellow to
remain at his house for the night,
and a dispute arose over the matter
Harris alleges that Newton finally be-
came so angered hat he started at
him (Harris) with an open knife. Har-
ris declares that he begged him not
to come upon him, but the latter di
not heed him, a1J to save himself he
aimed the sun at Newton and fired
the load striking Newton in the leg
above the knee Before medical aid
could be summoned, Newton Strick-
land died from loss of blood.
Another story told about the affair
is that Newton Strickland upbraided
his brother because he was so-wild 4,
and that in reasoning with him Har-
ris Strickland became angered and
shot him, the wound proving faal in
about an hour.
The news Of the tragedy reached
Gainesville as the killing occurred in
the western part of the county. Not
much is known ofthe Stricklands, they
having only moved to the county from
Dawson or Forsyth some time ago
Officers were sent out to summon
the eye witness to the tragedy and
Judge Kimsey has ordered the grand
jury, which adjourned Friday, to re-
assemble Tuesday morning to inquire
into the matter. If a true bill is
found against Harris Strickland, he
will be put on trial in Hall superior
court this week
This will be the the fifth murder
trial at this term of court. Foster
Brooks was last week convicted of
numbering Jack Collins, and was Civ
en- life sentence. Jim Reed was
convicted of killing Hoke Hunt and
was given Is years in the peniten-
tiary. Mrs. Sue Brooks will be
placed on trial for accessory in the
killing of Jack Collins. Therefore
it appears that Hall county is having
a siege of murder trials at this term
of court.
