LEILA OGBURN
BADLY INJURED
HORSE TAKES FRIGHT AND
RUNS, RESULTING IN SAD
ACCIDENT.

Friday night last, while returning
from the theatre in Enterprise, Miss
Leila Ogburn, youngest daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Ogburn, sustained a
serious injury that leaves the pa
tient still in very critical condi-
tion. At last reports she was slow
ly regaining consciousness, though
only at intervals, and remains for
part of the time in a stateof insen-
[sibility.
Miss Leila and her brother Floyd,
together with hired workman at
the place, attended the Madison
Square theatrical troupe's show at
the opera house here. On the way
home, in about the neighborhood of
Judge Olmsted's ranch, one of the
thills is reported as falling down.
The man in charge sprang from
the rig to hold the horse which be-
came frightened and went tearing
away and got loose from the man.
The little girl partially sprang and
was partially thrown from the rig in
the neighborhood of the l.. ]. Jor-
dan ranch, and struck on her temple
and side. She was picked up un-
conscious and carried into the Jor-
dan home, where she remains. She
remained insenslble until Saturday
noon, when signs Of consciousness
became manifest, but since then she
is unconscious at intervals. Meth
er her brother nor the hired man
were injured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Ogburn live
on the ranch owned by Deputy
Sheriff Grow, on Alder Slope, where
they have resided for several years.

Let Us Elect Major McGregOr to
Congress

The fine scorn with which the card playing
Congressman treated the petition of the Vets
OF McDuffe County Gin the matter of the
cotton-tax fund) crops out again in the refer
ence made to the candidacy of Major Charles
E. McGregor by the Hardwick organ, the
Augusta Herald.
In the editorial of last Sunday the Hard
wick organ studiously refrains from using
the honorable title, which was brave soldiers
reward for years Of service on the march and
on the field of battle "Mr McGregor." is
the way the Hardwick organ puts it, repeat
eddy; not "Hon G.. E. McGregor," nor '|Mai.
McGregor"
If L were to write an editorial about Gen.
G. A. Evans and should ostentatiously call
the heroic old man "Mr. Evans" each time I
mentioned his name the friends of the Gen
eral would have a right to feel that meant
to be disrespectful, if not offensive, and their
feelings would be hurt.
If the Augusta Herald were to publish an
editorial on Maj. Joseph B. Cumming, and
should deny the gallant exConfederate the
title he won by splendid courage, under the
Stars and Bars, everybody in Augusta would
take the use of the word "Mister' in naming
Major Cumming, to be studied affront.
Major McGregor had followed the flag four
years and won his title several years before
Hardwick, Bowdre Phinizy or w. j. Hen
ming were born.
One of the first young men of the South to
volunteer, McGregor was one of the last to
lay down his gun. With handful of men,
he drove away the Federal soldiers who were
trying to burn the railroad bridge east of
Macon immediately preceding the fight at
Griswoldville.

Was III Fair For the Bishop To
Identity Himself With the
Almighty?

When the French government separated
itself from the Roman Catholic Church, Papa
and his obedient satellites went to bowling,
France IS making war on God!"
When Spain initiated the example of her
neighbor across the Pyranees the same lugu-
brlous wall went up from the Vatican "They
are making war on religlon!"
When the Provisional Government of
Portugal gave the Jesuit orders twenty four
hours within which to get out, the ''princes Of
the church, found it necessary to renew the
protest against the manner in which the
Almighty was being treated
But the Roman Catholic Church is not the
only ecclesiastical organization which has
dignitaries who coolly assume that they pos
sess exclusive knowledge of what God wants
us to do. There's Bishop Bashford, for in
stance who gave to his own book the modest
title, Goods Plan"
If you were to write book and give it
such name as that, you'd expect people to
ask you, GLOW do you know it's Gods plan?"
Nowhere in the Bible do you find the faint
est suggestion of any such plan; by what
authority did Bishop Bashford put his book
above the New Testament?
And then there's Bishop Gambler; he also
begs the question and assumes that his posi-
ton is that of God He actually said, in a
public lecture in Atlanta, that his method of
doing mission work was Gods method and
that [ was trying to dictate to God how to
do mission work.
1t is mystery to me that certain type
of preacher does not realize how arrogant
he is when he claims that his opinions are
Gods.
[ fully agree with the average missionary
as to the principle involved; but inasmuch as
the methods of doing the work are the results
of human instrumentalities, I cannot under
stand why it should be such crime for me
to take the position that human error has
crept into the work. Apparently these
Foreign Missionaries have worked themselves
into the belief that they are infallible, as the
Pope claims to be.

wanted more. He seemed to have simple, homey
