Inc destruction began with the mil

district, but farther northwest the

large numbers Of deaths resulted
Rescue work started as soon as the

The storm in passing took down all

ana the electric power was shut off
Immediately to prevent further loss of
life.
With the arrival of daylight came a

Board after board | lifted; | tugged

Dry eyed and calm. the girl recited
the story, justifying it with remark
that it was the work of Providence.
Cuts All on Faces.
A coincidence among the injured at
the child institute was that all were
badly cut about the face, while the
bodies were comparatively unmarked.
Ugly looking scalp wounds marked
every injury.

]. P. MORGAN AS A CHURCHMAN

Bishop Doane, in The Churchman J
Mr. Morgan was man of most deep
religious feeling, thorough and de-
voted churchman He had an unus-
ually familiar knowledge of the
Prayer Book. One day, on the train, he
repeated from memory the Table of
the Golden Numbers and the Levitical
Calendar The Diocese of New Yorl,
recognized what he was by sending
him, yer after year, for many years,
to the General Convention, of which
he was at its last session, think, the
oldest lay member.
A man of few words, he welded a
large influence, and was a valuable
and important member of many COM
mittees, including the Committee on
the Prayer Book. He was deeply and
generously interested in the revision
of the Book of Common Prayer, pub
fishing at his own expense a beauti-
full edition In vellum. During the
sessions of the convention he kept
open house for several of the bishops.
taking some large and comfortabl
house wherever the convention met,
in which to entertain them, and when
the convention met in New York many
of us were his guests in his own home.
My close and long association with
him included our membership Of the
Peabody Board of Trustees, of which
he was the treasurer, and in whose
shaping and founding of the Peabody
College for Teachers he was most
helpful and influential. Big and gen.
erous and gracious he was; still more
full of frie1dliness and righteousness.
Years ago. as his guest at Athens, |
always spent the afternoon with hiGl
on the Acropolis, watching that won.

TARIFF NOT QUITE UNANIMOUS
New York WorldJ


That everybody should acQuiesce in
tariff reform seemed almost too gool
to be true. and so it was. Gloversyille,
/ ~ j., is to parade today as a protest
against a measure that will depopu-
late the town" In Connecticut two
manufacturing concerns are "prepar-
ing to move to Germany.
Gloversville makes gloves. Under
the present tariff they are protected
lby schedules which even Mr.. Taft de-
nounced as "indefensible The Con-
lnecticut establishments make sewing
machines which for many years have
been sold abroad cheaper than at
home.
At a time when millions of Ameri-
cans are finding it increasingly diff
cult to meet their expense, most of
them will view with interest, but not
with alarm, these shameless confess
sions of commercialized incompetency
and pauperism.
There is no probability that Gloy-
ersville will be depopulated or that
Germany will receive any immigration
from Connecticut, but better beggary
in a few places where it has been in
vited than in an entire nation which
is struggling manfully against it!

FIRST BOAT THROUGH THE CANAL

According to a dispatch from Wash
ington, Colonel George w. Goethals
has been given authority to choose
the merchant vessel to which will fall
the honor of being the first to pass
through the Panama Canal, and the
opinion is expressed that he will Sc
lect the Fran, on which Amundsen
sailed to the South Pole and which he
will use in his forthcoming expedition
to the Attic. Perhaps little fault
could be found with the War Depart
ment if it should delegate the builder
of the canal authority to choose the
craft other than a war vessel, 20
make the initial and historic voyage
from the Caribbean to the South
Sea-" but we refuse to believe that he
would confer this dignity upon a for
eign ship. There is absolutely no
reason for the selection of Amundsen' q
steamer. and we do not believe that

Morris in Spokane spc

tangling their lives and the lives o;
others with their wrong deeds and
vicious life, we may seek the cause in
the false start of early life.
Keep the children at play when
they are not at work and play with
them, so that the play may be kept
straight and wholesome. That is the
idea of the Parent Teachers Associa-
ton and it is one of the biggest ideas
which has ever struck Augusta.
1t means the starting of a great up
lifting force, which will bring our liz
tie folk together in human compan-
| ionship and helpful association. The
plan is to provide accessible play
grounds in all neighborhoods, when
the children will be naturally at
tracted.
The play will be supervised by
teachers-both men and women-who
will teach varied games and guard
the children from baneful influences.
The enthusiastic support of every
one: mothers. fathers bachelor unclaS
and old-maid aunts should be given
this splendid undertaking.
And if there are any in Augusta SO
isolated that the life of no child S
near to theirs; let them too come into
this great movement and do their part
for the little folk of their town, for 10
work is more important to Augusta s
future

A PUBLIC MENACE.

A matter of public menace is tn,
proposal to hold a motorcycle race here
this afternoon, with course starting
at the intersection of Elm street with
Lee, and extending ten miles out Lee
street. It would seem that nothing
can be said in commentator of such
an event, while if such a race is held
il will be a public menace to the peo-
pie who use Elm avenue and the Lee
street road as a thoroughfare.
What good can possibly be accom-
plished by such race, other than pup
lefty, perhaps, for motorcycles, it as
hard to see Shall the lives of the
many residents along Elm avenue and
the populous Lee street road be en-
dangered for the paltry publicity that
may be gained for motorcycles or those
= 49,
who sell them
Probably only a few of the residents
along the road would know of such a
race No one has informed them that
such race is to be held There ara
little children who live along these
Thoroughbred There are people who
live along them who have paid for the
working of these roads and to whom
they belong for legitimate uses, uses
such as are at Vi rance with the hold
ing of motorcycle races and of whic }
the reckless rider OF motorcycle in a
race neither thinks nor cares.
Who gave permission for the use Of
a street in the city, or part of pub
lie highway, for such demonstration
Do those who are thinking of holdins
such race think that they can attempt
such hazardous undertaking without
permit from these authorities? Has
such permit been asked for, or grant
ed? If such a race were held and if
any one were killed, upon whose head
would the blame for such a blunder
rest?

THE MAN WHO Is PREPARED

When the boil weevil comes to
Georgia in its eastward march of de.
struction, the man who is prepared
will be the only one who can meet
tits crop pest and conquer it. 1t is a
matter of preparedness which the
Sumter county farmer should ponder
1t would seem that each farmer In
this section of Georgia would prepare
fer an enemy which he knows is sure
tC come. Nay more, prepare for an
enemy which he knows is sure to
come very soon, for it is as if the time
oi delay had nearly ended. A long
period has passed since the first an
nouncement of the eastward progress
o' the boil weevil was made.
There was a day when the farmer
here could sit idly by and salve his
conscience with the thought that he
had plenty of time to prepare for the
boil weevil and that he need not wor-
ry then. But that time has passed
The boil weevil is practically with us
now, and the farmer is not prepared
to meet the pest
If the farmer can only realize thai
knowledge is power the victory IS
his. First of ALL let each farmer gair
practical knowledge of the Dol
weevil and its habits. There has beel
bulletin after bulletin published anc
distributed without cost in order t,
disseminate useful knowledge con
cering the boil weevil. Any farma
who desires these bulletins may Sc
:, cure them from the state department
of agriculture in Atlanta or from tn,
United States department of agricul
ture in Washington.
Once armed with the knowledge q
the boil weevil and its habits, an,
} with a practical method of combat
ting the pest as based on the exper
fence Of those who have succeeded
the Sumter county farmer should hav
little difficulty in making crop il
spite of the boil weevil Farmers else
where have accomplished this, an
; Sumter county farmers can do it, toe
II is largely matter of whether the
will be ready when the boil weevi
comes, or wait until the pest force

COST OF LIVING
prof. David Starr Jordan

IVI' Du'Iu oN"It VVKU"HJ
In my judgment the primary factor
in the rise in tn cost of living thy
world over is the fall in value of gold
due to excessive and growing financial
exactions. In other words, II is pro
duced by the steadily growing en-
croachment on the individual through
the indirect tax and the deferred pay
ment, the two agents Of tyranny in
the past, now used for the self-oppres-
sion Of democracy.

4 WORK OF VITAL IMPORTANCE

A useful field of endeayor is being
filled by the newly organized local
branch of the Parent-Teacher assocl-
alton. 1t is work that is vital to the
home and to the social structure. 1t is
work that had not been seriously con-
sidered by any organized association.
The aims and purposes of the or
ganization, which have been comment
ed upon to some degree in The Times
Recorder hitherto, are we'll explained
in the following excerpt from the
Augusta Herald:
Let us stop a moment and give a
little thought to what this Parent
Teachers organization promises and
stands for.
Here is a cause in which every one
should feel it a privilege to join. The
Parent Teachers Club is working for
guidance and good development of the
boys and girls in all the neighbor-
hoods of the town. They realize that
above all things the play time of the
little ones is the time in which the
most wholesome influences make
their impression. They realize also,
that in providing plenty of real recre-
alton of an interesting and enjoyable
and helpful sort they are erecting
walls of protection about the young
felix.
The greatest need in the world is
the need of wholesome pleasure. The
strongest-and no doubt one of the
God given instincts, though it so Of
ten leads to vice and dissipation, when
perverted is the search for happiness.
The restless active natures of boys
and girls make the search for pleas
ure a passion. 1t is both wrong and
futile to try and still this instinct,
what we have to do it to guide AMI
control it.
If the active natures of wrong folk
cannot find vent along right and de-
veloping lines. they will find vent
along wrong and distorting lines
Keep the boys and girls off the
street is the cry, but how?
If we are to keep the young folk off
the street, we cannot coop them in
the house without blighting their de-
vtlopment in still another way. There
is simply choice between two wrong
ways; one less wrong than the other,
bu' wrong nevertheless.
Normal, warm blooded strong viii,
ed boys and girls will obey the iu-
stinct to live and find pleasure, no
matter what checks are put upon
them and the only solution of the play
grounds. where they are taught To
play hard, but to play fair, where the
life giving sunshine and fresh air
and the coursing OF their young
blood may build up their bodies AMI
the sympathetic guidance of older and
wiser companions may keep their
hearts and mindc growing and build
ing for the making of lofty and fine
character.
1t is in learning to play right and
joyfully that the greatest lesson o.!
life is grasped.
