mo LOGICAL NECESSITY"

Editor The Georgian:
wish to say a few words about
the opening Of the moving picture
shows on Sunday. l do not believe
there is a logical necessity for the
operation Of these movies" upon
the Sabbath / do not believe that
a wide-open town is imperatively
essential for the intellectual and
social, moral or material uplift
of any people. We do not yet have
to break the Sabbath or CONNER
cialize it in order to become metro
politan. In the first place, this
cIamor for opening the little
movies" on Sunday does not come
from the people who labor six days
out Of seven. 1t comes more and
very near altogether from the
financial benefciaries of those pc
cuniarily interested in their opera
ton. The pretense of opening
them on Sunday for the purpose Of
helping eleemosynary institutions is
perfect rot and nonsensical balder-
dash.

May Level Dozen Villages,

MAY Level Dozen villages,
On account of the uniformity in
the direction of the movement Of
tornadoes, it is not difficult to get
out Of their track if they can be
seen, or heard, coming a quarter or
a half-hour in advance.
A single tornado may level a
half-dozen villages and pillow q
track of destruction across two or
three counties.
But when, as happened this week
a horde of these "twisters' breaks
upon the face of the land there is
hardly any meteorological disaster
so serious as that which they pro-
duce.
! have just been looking at a Sc
ries of charts prepared by the gov
eminent in its studies Of the great
outbreak of tornadoes on February
10, 1884, to which the present one
may be compared, and they resem-
bic military maps of an invaded
country, across which a dozen ar
mics are marching on parallel lines.
From the Mississippi valley
across Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, Georgia, South Carolina
and North Carolina the tornad0es
rushed side by side, new ones
breaking out as the earlier ones
were dissipated, until their raid had
almost reached the Atlantic ocean.
Whirl From Right to Left.
Tornadoes always occur in the
southeastern quarter of a cyclonic
disturbance. Such disturbance
may be from 1000 to 1000 miles
broad, producing nothing but rains
and moderate winds over most Of
its area, but in the southeastern
quadrant, where warm southern
winds are brought into contact WIN
