LITTLE SYMPATHY FOR
ADMISSION OF WOMEN
To Practice Law in State Of
Georgia

Atlanta, June 28.-It is freely pre-
dicted that the efforts of Representa-
tive Beck, of Brooks county to have
the Legislature reverse it's last years
action and admit women to the Geor-
gia bar, will meet with overwhelming
defeat.
Everything, it seems, is against Mr.
Beck. The dean of the Atlanta Law
school has announced that henceforth
no women will be permitted to enter
that institution; the Georgia Bar as
ISOLATION in its annual meeting refus-
ed to give the subject any serious con-
sideration at all, and Mrs. Minnie
Hale, herself the leader last year in
the effort to get the legislature to let
her practice law, is now on record as
having said that Joe Hill Halls war
was right and that he was chivalrous
after all in leading the fight against
her last year.
Mrs. Hale was quoted in Georgia
newspapers as declaring that she did
not believe that women had any bust
mess practicing law in Georgia.
So far as is known, Mrs. Georgia
Mcintyre Weaver, the latest and last
graduate of the Atlanta Law school
is the only woman now DESTROYS of
admission to the bar of the state.

Mr.. MILLER
To CONDUCT
The SERVICE
AT PRESBYTERIAN Church
AT the Morning Service To-
morrow

What is in the nature of a farewell
by Superintendent A. G. Miller to the
Presbyterian church and Sunday
school here, Of both of which he has
long been a member, and in a way his
farewell to the people of the city will
be the service which he is to conduct
at that church Sunday morning in the
absence of the pastor, Rev. J. w.
Stokes.
The morning service at the church
will be in charge of Mr.. Miller and
all the people of the city will be given
an opportunity to hear him in most
interesting talk. Mr.. Miller is a high
ly esteemed Christian gentleman, and
he will have a message to deliver to
all who attend the service at that
time.
AS Mr. Stokes will be absent
preaching elsewhere, there will be
no evening church service at the Pres
byterian church. The young peoples
meeting will be held, however, at the
usual hour, 1880 o'clock, in the
church.

The Georgia Sunday School ASsoci-
alton has taken a forward step of far
reaching Importance in the employ
ment of Mr.. D. W. Sims as it's Genera.
The Office of the Associ-
alton has been opened at 613 Temple
Court Building, Atlanta. Prior to
Mr.. Sims toking UP the work in Geor-
gia he had been General Secretary of
the Alabama Sunday School Associa-
ton for nearly five years, and for its
progressive Sunday School work Ala
bama stands at the forefront of the
Southern States. Mr.. Sims proved
himself leader of ability in Ala
lama. For the past three years every
county in Alabama has held an an
nual County Sunday School Conyen-
ton, and each district in all the coun-
ties have held annual, and many OF
the quarterly conventions. For these
reasons the Executive Committee Of
the Georgia Sunday School Associa-
ton believe that they have secured
the right man for General Secretary.
The business of the Georgia Sunday
School Association is to etend and de-
velop greater efficiency in the work
of all Sunday Schools of all denom-
ination in every section of the state.
The plan is to organize the various
counties of the state into county Sun
day School Associations, these to be
auxiliaries of the State Association
The counties will then be subdivided
into divisions and a Division Sunday
School Association formed in each d.
vision. The County and Division Sun
day School Associations, as we'll as
the State Associations, will hold an
nual conventions at which Sunday
| School workers of all denominations
in that community will gather to dis
cuss methods of work, report pro-
gress and plan for more and better
Sunday Schools. Not only will defin-
lite advance steps be taken in these
conventions, but also public sentl-
ment will be created in favor of better
Sunday Schools. Experience has
shown that it is easy to have a good
Sunday school where public sentiment
demands it.
So addition to the holding of con-
ventions and the creating of public
sentiment the Georgia Sunday School
Association will seek to help Sunday
School workers of all denominations
throughout Georgia:
O By Sunday School institutes
held in such towns and cities as de-
sired. In these institutes the best
available experts in each line of
Sunday School work will take part
(2) BY leaflets of various phases OF
modern Sunday School work, such as
graded schools, the Home Depart
ment, Teacher Training, the Organ
lied Adult Bible Glass, etc. These are
being prepared as repidly as possible,
and will be furnished free to any
Sunday School worker in Georgia on
request.
90 By the publication of a State
Sunday School paper, to be known as
The Georgia Sunday School News, "
The first issue of this paper will be
mailed today
AS will be seen from the above, the
Georgia Sunday School Association is
q cooperative effort of all denomina-
tons to extend and improve Sunday
School work in Georgia. 1t is the only
organization which aims to help every
Sunday school in the state. 1t seeks
helpful cooperation not union; its
conventions and Institutes discuss
methods of work not church doctrine.
therefore, it helps many, but binders

denominations help in these conven-

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Charity in the Work

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 All men should be kind and charitable one toward another. but as we near the limit of life we should be more thought full of our duty to the human race. Let me ask question. When money Is given, should not the sick and needy be the first benefieiaries? There Is a great deal of charity work going on in the world that we know nothing about People don't tell it. It Is a wrong to abuse the rich, and the clean tongue will not san- der a neighbor The world was never as full of charity as it is now. The great amassers of wealth have loosened their pursestrings and the hand of many a man has been filled and he had been lifted from his fallen condition and restored to manhood.
 Let us not turn our backs upon those who have been tempted and gone in ways of shame. l speak plainly Some of us have been to blame. Man, go to their res cue and lead them back to honor and happiness. There is another class, the stranger in our midst, those who come among us hunting work. For Gods sake don't put them in jail, but speak a kind word to them and provide lodging and meals and give the poor wretches a chance. J. LAWLER DARBY.

It was a jubilant crowd that re- turned to Birmingham last night from Mont gomery after having gone there to appear before the state centennial committee and make bid for Birming- ham as the proper location of the ex- position in 1919. Although the mat ter had not been finally decided, Presi- dent Sibley of the Chamber of Com merce, Secretary Radcliffe and others of the Birmingham centennial commit tee of thirteen to which the proposi- ton had been referred would give the big show to Birmingham.
 We found when it came to vote cn the last question that there was not il quorum of the state committee pres ent. So the committee of thirteen was named and they will arrange a meet ing and announce decision l do not know now when this will be. but It will probably be soon.
 There was much enthusiasm dis played at the joint conference. It was greed that every town which made bid for the exposition should sup port the town which won out. Ther will be no jealousy nor rivalry aftel

MISSISSIPPI VETERANS MEET
 NEXT YEAR AT GREENWOOD

Jackson, Miss, October 23-(Special) The Confederate veterans have ad 1ourned and the great majority of their delegates to the state reunion have re- turned to their homes over the state some of them, perhaps, never again to attend such a gathering. It was with this thought in mind, no doubt, that good-byes were so feelingly spoken and handclasps lingeringly long. Good bye, old comrade." said one gray-beard- ca veteran to another; T may never see you again until we meet on that beautiful shore"-and tear-drops glis- tened In two pair of old eyes.
 The veterans assembled at o'clock in the senate chamber at the new cap itol, at least five hundred being pres ent and almost as many more walk ing about the corridors and grounds The business of the day was the cleo tion of officers for the ensuing year, and the selection <of the place of next meeting, which is Greenwood, the citi- zens of which extended a cordial well come.
 The officers elected are as follows
 Patrick Henry of Brandon, major general.
 w. C. Wells, Sr., of Jackson, first brigadler general.
 w. C. Vaught of Magnolia, second rrigadier general.
 E |. sykes of Aberdeen, third brig adler general.
 John A. Webb of Jackson, was an- pounced by General Henry as his ad- tutant general for another term, se- lection that seemed to please all his comrades.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-24

The election being over General Henry introduced Mrs. Dose, president of the Daughters of the Confederacy, who responded in d few well chosen terms, thanking the veterans for show ing her such consideration Miss Att wood Thornton of Brandon, maid of honor, was also presented with the ex- plantation that she was the granddaugn- tel of William NJ. Thornton. Con federate soldier, who was {shot down several times al Shiloh. General Hen " might have explained further that Miss Thornton Is a niece of Dr. J. J. Thornton, the only delegate to the se- ccssion convention who positively re- fused to sign the ordinance taking Mississippi out of the union, but who enlisted at once for the long struggle and proved himself one of the bravest of the brave.
 The veterans were formed in line in front of the capitol. where photogra- phers secured the likeness of some six or eight hundred, and who later marched to the fair grounds. where they were the guests of the fair asso- citation for the balance of the day.
 Prominent among the Confederate veterans in Jackson Is Emanuel Collier an old Rankin county negro. now near ly ninety years of age, feeble and bad Ky crippled so that he has to hobble about on a crutch but he never misses reunion of his masters old comrades He has always been a thrifty and pros rerous citizen of his county, owning a good home and having plenty of hog and hominy around him at all times But he is too old now to. raise cotton under boil weevil conditions. and does Tot expect to try to learn.

More About Railway Wrecks

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Lest the travelling public should become unduy nervous about possible wrecks it may be well to add some items. l shall write mainly of the Louisville and Nashville, as so many of your readers are located along it's lines, As a moralist should be glad to see the company ahate all possible Sunday work. For many years it has held the distinction of being "The Old Reliable Those best informed, and not stockholders, say they have fewer accidents than any railroad in the country. It is we'll for us to re- member that there has been but one per feet man on the earth. The science of mechanics has made wonderful strides, but is yet far from perfect. In the con struction of railway stock they use wood, iron. steel and brass. The most skillful eye may fail to detect flaws. The loss of d tap or breaking of bolt may derail a train. The company pays good wages in order to secure the services of the most skillful worlSmen.

 One of their number is the engineer who pulled the first train into Birmingham, September Sl. 1872. In all these years he has held job with the company. One good rule with the Louisville and Nash 1 vile company is that they never let a good man quit them if he can be held. This same engineer has run from this city to Nashville, pulling through pas senger trains. The company has no safer engineer or better friend. Next to his wife and children, Uncle Tom Doug | lass loves his engine. When his eyes and
 strength fail him no doubt but that the company will retire him on pension suf-

He contracted to fill that gap When the South and North road was absorbed by the Louisville and Nash vlle Tate had failed but had been paid for the work he had finished in the gap. When the meeting of President Newcomb and his directors occurred in the blue paror of the Galt house to act upon the proposition of Col. J. W. Sloss, Tate wanted $i00,000 bonus to surrender the original contract which he had already practically abandoned in his failure. He got his claim paid
 But for the absorption of the South and North and the Decatur and Nashville by the Louisville and Nashville road the gap would not have been filled, the South and North would have fallen into the low estate of q branch of Alabama and Chat tanooga running from Birmingham to Montgomery, Birmingham would have been a war station and the commercial control of the iron and coal production of Alabama would have vested with Chat tanooga.
 So Birmingham becomes indebted to James w. Sloss, before all others, in suggesting the absorption of roads by the then single short line, the Louis vile and Nashville. a step which defeated the New York bankers Russell Sage and Victor K. Stevenson, guided, as they
