SEVENTEENTH INFANTRY
MAY RETURN TO ATLANTA
Congressman Howard at Re-
quest of Chamber of Com
merCe Urges Its Return

WASHINGTON. July 12.-Representa-
tive Howard received a telegram Tuesday
morning from Fred ]. Paxon. president
of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
protesting against the retaining of the
two Atlanta regiments at San Antonio.
Tex
The telegram reads Atlanta is ex-
tremely anxious to have the nth infant
ry ordered back from San Antonio to
Atlanta. We are reliably informed that
the division there is being broken UP,
and all troops except regiments, two Of
which. the 18th cavalry from Fort Ogle-
thorpe, and the 18th infantry from Fort
Mcpherson. are being left behind for
an indefinite period. San Antonio already
has a permanent garrison of three regI-
ments of soldiers and there is no reason
why Atlanta should be deprived of her
regiment in order to benefit San An
tonic.
There is no longer any necessity for
the troops remaining there, and as 9TH
er regiments have been ordered home
We particularly desire these to return to
Atlanta"
IMMEDIATELY upon receipt of this tele-
gram Mr.. Howard called on Adjutant
General Ainsworth, who upon investi-
cation, assured him that the nth regi-
ment or some other full regiment would
be returned to Fort Mcpherson from
San Antonio
Mr.. Howard was informed by the adj
jutant general that the 18th, 10th and 18th
infantries and the 18th cavalry are to be
retained for the present at San Antonio,
a brigade to take the place of the man
euvers division. This is deemed expedi-
ent by the adjutant general for the pres
ent on account of the recent upleasant-
ness in Mexico, which has not all been
settled.
Last spring Representative Howard re-
ceiyed requests from the regimental COM
mander at Atlanta urging upon the
necessity for an appropriation of 100000
for the erection of new hospital at Fort
Mcpherson. This morning Mr.. Howard
called the attention of the officials at the
war department to the fact that If they
did not intend to keep troops there 1t
would be a useless and foolish expendi-
ture of money.
The department assured the Atlanta
representative that there would never be
less than a full regiment maintained at
Fort Mcpherson, exception extraordinary
occasions, such as the present, neeessitat-
ing the temporary removal of the troops

king of Assyria at that time, had moved
the seat of his kingdom from Nineveh,
where all the other kings of Assyria had
IT, to Babylon. He was the only king
of Assyria who did have his seat there,
for his successor transferred 1t back to
Nineveh. The accuracy of the Bible, seen
like this in so many places in mere ref
erences, is one of the strong evidences
of its inspired origin.
MANASSEH'S CONVERSION.
The Cholden has a very interesting
account of Manasseh's Imprisonment in
Babylon. 1t says that in Babylon he was
placed inside a brasen mule in whose
body numerous holes had been bored; a
fire was built under IT, and it was the
intention to slowly torture Manasseh to
death 1t was then that he cried to
God in penitence. 1t gives his prayer
which Is referred to in Chronicles, which
is a prayer of deep confession and peni-
tence, and an earnest expression of his
desire to restore what he had destroyed
Whether this story Is absolutely true
or not. we do not know, but 1t Is true
that Manasseh was liberated and re-
stored to his throne. That of itself is
one of the most remarkable things in
history, for 1t was very unusual
MANASSEH'S REFORMATION.
1t is probable that he was not in Bah
ylon very long. In that case he reigned
for about "a years longer. During this
time he made every effort possible to
unda his evil. He destroyed the image
of himself he had placed In the temple
He cut down the Asherah; he removed
the altars he restored the worship of
Jehovah; he offered offerings. He went
so far as to command judah to serve
Jehovah; and he set them the example
of doing all he could to show that his
heart was obedient to Jehovah.
His efforts we're only partially sue
cessful; the people were not wholly
turned back to the simple worship of
Jehovah. In the last 81 years of his
reign he could not wholly eradicate the
sni of the first 81 years.
There are some impressive truths in
the story of Manasseh that we will 10
well to ponder. Undoubtedly his CONVEX
sion was ultimately the result of the in
fluence of his godly fathers life during
his boyhood, and of his mothers teach
ing.
Man, let your life be right; your boy
may wander. but your righ teous life may
be the ultimate means of bringing him
back. No man wants his boy to do
wrong then do right yourself
Manasseh could not wipe out in "a
years Of righteousness the sin of Fl
years previous. How absurd 1t is FOR
any man to think as some do that they
can turn over a new leaf by doing right
save themselves They can never do it;
can never wipe out the sin of one hour
though they should live perfectly holy
900 years. But here's the glory of it;
when they come peniently to Jesus, His
blood can wash away all their sin no
matter how deep it has been; their sub
sequent life of rightness can show Him
their appreciation of His great pur-
chase.
Man. that sin of yours may not have
been Mannasseh's but you need Sa-
viour Just the same. Jesus Christ is
the Saviour you need; will you take
Him?

He stated that he felt sure the ma

jority of the present legislature was in
sympathy with the reform legislation of
1907 and 1908 and that, therefore, that
legislation was not now in danger.
He said but one measure had failed
of passage. 1t was the anti-lobby law
and he felt sure it would speedily become
a law.
He said there were other measures of
constructive character. especially with
reference to the finances of the state.
in which he was deeply interested and
that after examining the decisions OF
the United States senate applicable to
the term of service of a senator holding
under an appointment from the govern
or he was sure that Senator Terrelrs
term of service would not expire until
his own commission was sent to the
senate. and that he did not expect his
commission to be furnished to the senate
until the December session of the SEN
ate.
Senator Terrell would, therefore, be
in a position to represent the state in
the senate until that time and that he
expected to remain in his present office
until a period approaching the time of
the next regular session of congress.
He expressed his hope that nothing
would be done or said to cause unpleas-
ant feelings among Georgians; that we
were all Georgians, earnestly seeking the
welfare of the state and that 1t should
be our policy to cooperate with each
other and to hold up each others hand,
not to seek to destroy but to support
every Georgian who was endeavoring to
serve the state and to bring about the
best interests of the great body of our
citizens.
