stenographer is one of the prettiest
and demurest girls in either house or

Speaking of stenographers and
clerks, the Portland newspaper that
said there were so many Of them in
the legislature that it was difficult for
them to walk about in the house and
in the senate without blockading the
aisles, grossly exaggerated

MILITIA ROW UP
To THE GOVERNOR
SLAT0N WILL SETTLE DISPUTE
BETWEEN GENERALS NASH AND
O'BEAR

Atlanta, Dec. Ex-Governor Slaton
began this morning the final and ex-
haustive investigation that will de-
termine the status of the quarter
master generals Office in the state mil
itia, and that will result either in the
abolition Of Quartermaster General
Obear's job, or the resignation of Ad-
jutant General Van Holt Nash.
What the governors investigation
will show has not been predicted, but
one thing is certain, and that is that
there are one too many generals" in
the state militia now, and that after
the first of the year there will be only
one of them left.
Nobody is after General Nashs head,
but he has so strongly urged the aboli-
ton of General Obears office, and the
feeling between the two offices har
become so unpleasant and strained,
that in the event Obear is retained, it
is admitted that there will be nothing
left but for Nash to resign.
General Obear contends that General
Nash is trying to make him the victim
of his personal dislike, but General
Nash says it is purely matter of law,
and that under the present federal reg
ulations, which he holds the Georgia
militia are bound by, there is no room
for the quarter master generals office.
General Obear insists that his office
was created by the legislature and can
only be abolished by that body.
The question that Governor Slatop
has under consideration, and which
the attorney general is working on
with him, is simply the legal status of
the quartersaster generals Office. The
governor will hew to the line in the
administration of the law, and the per-
sonal differences between the two gem
erals will have no weight or bearing
on the result.

again in Atlanta. You can't keep il
down for long. This time the town and
county are fighting over fence, in
truly rural style
1t is just such squabble as ST
Plunkett and the town marshal used to
engage in at Frog Level. The county
has built fence with bill boards on II
around the new courthouse. The county
commissioners say the fence must
stay. The mayor says it must come
down.
Mayor Woodward says he doesn't
care boot how the city marshal en-
forces the order, but that it must be
enforced. The county commissioners
say they will not let it be torn down,
and there you are!

LARGE DEFICIT IN
PENSION FUND OF
STATE VETERANS
LARGE ADDITION TO ROLLS
viii Increase the Deficit to
$4,000

Atlanta, Dec. 29.-With the prospect
of $4,000 deficit in the pension fund
for 1914, through the addition of about
725 new pensioners, coming within the
various classes, Governor Slaton and
Pension Commissioner Lindsey find
something to worry about with the
coming of the new year. Apparently
there is nothing to be done about it ex-
cept to pay old pensioners formerly
enrolled and let the newly added ones
wait until the legislature meets, to see
If methods can be devised for paying
them.
A little history here will help to Il
general understanding of the situation
in Georgia. No increases have been
made in the appropriations since 1911,
Last summer Governor Slaton, backed
by good men on both sides of the
capitol, fought successfully to prevent
any increases in appropriations for
1914-15, knowing that only in this
way could the state be kept from pill
ing up obligations that could not be
met from available resources.
Without any increase for four years
in appropriations and with revenues
increasing through natural growth Of
values-though nothing like what it
should be-the state faces a deficit of
$2S0,000 next year. The additional
$4,000 to pay pensioners added to the
rolls, would run this sum to $330,000.
When the service pension law was
passed in 1908, the statement was
made on the floor by some one advc-
eating it that it would not add more
than $4,000 per annum to the amount
needed. This person will probably be
surprised to know that for 1914 1885,
900 will be needed for this class alone.
The service pension bill admitted to
the rolls all veterans who had been in
service and who were worth not ex-
ceeding $1,000 in property.
For time Commissioner Lindsey
thought the appropriation of $780,
900 for pensions would cover every
contingency, but that was before he
had any knowledge of the large num-
Der of additions that would go on for
next year He thought the natural de-
crease through death now would more
than Offset any increases, but this has
not proven the case by any means.
1t is a fact, however, that widows
now outnumhe- veterans on the rolls
Colonel Lindsey has discussed the sit
uation thoroughly with Givernor Sla-
ton, it is understood, and both practi-
cally agreed that the only right thing
to be done was for the new pensioners
added to the rolls for the first time to
wait until the legislature met and took
cognizance of the situation.
Hope for the future is seen in the
new tax equalization law which be-
comes operative on January /. BY
that time it is probable that every
county in the state will have selectcl
it's board of three for county tax equal
izers. Counties generally are picking
good and dependable men who will do
their duty well and fairly.

DO ACTUAL WORK
Preachers Should Labor, e. l..
HOltOn Says.
Then They Can "Mix" With
Members of Congregation.

Manhattan, Jan. 3.-After careful
study ofSthe rural church E. l.. Hol-
ton, professor of rural education and
sociology at the Kansas Agricultural
college, believes it's failure to reach
the people is due to lack of efficiency
OF the preachers. The pastors have
been unable to adapt themselves to
changing conditions. Aloofness OF
the church to the practical needs or
the people of the community has
slackened their interest and dimin-
ished it's social and religious value, he
says.
Professor Holton believes it lies
with the pastors to overcome the diff
culties. He has made the following
rules for the guidance Of the rural
pastor:
He should influence the church to
think in terms of the community IN
stead of in terms of the pillars.
He should make the church build
ing a social center for community lie.
He must cIothe the gospel message
in the every day language of the plain
people of the twentieth century.
He must pacify internal wranglings
and discourage community competl-
ton between denominations.
All except one church in each COM
munity of less than six hundred in
habitants should be abolished.
He should do actual farm work that
he may be more able to mix with his
conversation.
