ADD SACRIFICE TO PRAYER.

hDD OFSFlF ~ - 49,
While the people of the United
States are acquainting themselves
with the movement Of armies, while
they are reading Of the yalor OF the
soldier in the field, while they are
puzzling over the final outcome, they
must remember that behind the cur
tain there is another scene There
are sufferers and there are heroes
that the war correspondent falls 10
see much Of They are the women
and the children left at home to
suffer, many of them have had thor
homes swept away and their farms
laid waste; many Of them are sick
and pennless at the beginning OF
the war; their breadwinner Is in
battle and they have little hope that
he will ever Cross their threshold
again. There Is cry for bread.
That cry comes from those innocent
of the war. That cry comes from
those who are as unable to check
the carnage as we are ourselves.
America has another opportunity Of
taking the lead in great civilized
countries; America has an oppor-
tunity to make friends of the world
that may keep us some time out OF
lust such moastrom Of hate
and destruction and bloodshod as
Europe Is in today America has a
chance to reflect that Christian spirit
of helping those who cannot help
themselves
President Wilson has asked MS to
assemble in our chlrches on the
fourth day Of October for the pur-
pose of sending up prayer for
peace. Each man and woman and
Sunday school pupil who attempts TO
reach the mighty power Of God on
that day in the interest Of peace
can better approach throne by
preparation Of sacrifice to save
the sufferers Of the stricken land.
II every church and Sunday school
will contribute that day; if every
newspaper in the state will open
its columns for contributions from
those who do not attend church,
this state will raise fund that
will be the means Of buying bread
for the hungry in foreign lands
If Oklahoma takes the .cad in
that movement II will meet with re
sponse in every state in this union
and n fund will go forward that will
mean much 10 those who receive it..
Remittance OF this fund may 30
through the Christian Herald Of
New York city or it may 90 di-
rcctly through the department of
state. Any person who wants his
gift to 20 to 4 certain country, may
have that done, and in time he will
have receipt from that country
showing that his money reached the
point it was intended to reach
With an organization OF these
proportions every American child can
contribute sufficient 10 buy crust
of bread for some suffering child in
the zone of war, every woman can
give something that will help dry the
tears of a woman sufferer, who. with
hunger and weariness, and with in
tense grief, sees the days come and
go and sees surroundings grow more
acute. Every man can help with
some amount, however small or large
that will reach out to that stricken
land to save from starvation and
from death

ADDITIONAL REVENUE LEGISLATION
Needed by United States Because of
Falling Import Duties.

WASHINGTON. - Administration
leaders have concluded that addition
al revenue legislation eventually
will be needed on account of falling
import duties, curtailed by the Eu-
ropean war. House Majority Leader
Underwood said today he expected
soon to confer with Secretary Nc
Adoo over plans and the amounts
necessary to be raised.
The ways and means committee
already has called for a detailed
statement of the condition of the
treasury and the situation as to re-
duced import taxes. 1t was estimat-
ed today that legislation would be
framed which would contemplate
raising war tax" of approximately
100000. While no plans def
nitely have been determined it is ex-
pected the tax will take the shape of
a stamp import on malts and spiritu-
Gus liquors. Increased import duty
on tea and coffee may also be con-
sidered.

REFUSES TO HONOR A warrant
And ThOmasville's City Treasurer Is
Suspended by Order of Council.


THOMASVILLE.-The formal sus-
pension by order of city council of
City Treasurer j. w. H. Mitchell, for
characterization, created something
of a sensation here yesterday
The suspension was the result OF
refusal of the treasurer to honor the
warrant from council for payment of
$20,500 of Thomasville's school bond
issue OF $4,000, according to the
plan adopted some time ago by coun-
ell. 1t was agreed that this amount
of bonds be taken over by the city
as sinking fund to be paid out to
the board of education as needed for
work on school buildings. This plan
was approved by City Attorney Moore
as a legal and feasible way of financ-
ing bonds. Treasurer Mitchell claims
he has been advised it was not legal
and refused to pay the money.
He left his office, taking the keys
and safe combinations with him.
Council, in special session yesterday
placed the office in charge of a dep
uty marshal. The office of treasurer
will be temporarily filled until mat
ters are adjusted.

ATLANTA.-AtIan gourmands

fashionable hotels, and it will soon
be a case of hog and hominy' if the
war keeps up.
European food products, those i'm

names and fancy prices, are running
short The cheeses whose names are
as wierd as their smells, the hams
of Westphalia, the imported sardines
of France, the herring of Belgium,
the limburger of Germany, all these
and many more must give place to
the plain everyday American ar
ticles.
The clubs are running short Of
vintage champagnes and sparkling
burgundies. Holland gin is nearly
exhausted, and imported ginger ale
has doubled in price The club men
are buying up all the Scotch whiskey
in the market lest they should be
caught short and forced to drink the
plain red fire of Peoria or the white
lightning of the Georgia mountains.

TRIBUTE TO MRS. HELENAXON WILSON
Stone Castle Chapter of Daughters of
American Revolution Sent Wreath
to Place On Her Grave.

Z
In a food of tenderness 'Georg'
has bowed over the fower-laden cas-
ket Of Ellen Arson Wilson and is
throbbing through every fiber with
deepest sympathy for the sorrowing
ones who have brought back home
the child of her red old hills, the
pride Of her heart, who only a few
brief years ago passed out with her
gallant knight through the portals
wreathed in orange blossoms into a
world of new duties and larger re-
sponsibilities. 1t is mete that she
rest in the green sod Of her native
land Southern roses sigh with
sweeter fragrance as they keep vigil
over the gentle sleeper, and there is
a softer note in the song of the mock
ing bird as he trills a sad sweet re-
QUEEN. Stone Castle Chapter, Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution,
sharing in the common sorrow,
plucked the sweetest flowers to lay
upon the new made grave loving
tribute-not to the first lady of the
land, but to the gentle Georgia girl
who in the fierce light that beats
against the throne has nobly repre-
sented all that is purest and best in
Southern womanhood. With the
training of pure and simple Christ
ian life Mrs. Wilson carried into the
big world the high ideals of cultured
godly parents and keeping step with
her noble young husband as ne
climbed the heights she never for one
moment lowered the standard or fall
tered in the path of duty. We re-
joice that through all the complex
duties of her exalted station she kept
the whiteness of her soul, the glory
of true and beautiful womanhoOd.
The glare and glitter of fashionable
society at the capitol in which she
might have walked a queen had no
allurement for her sweet and earnest
soul. She was ever the living har-
mony that sanctified a beautiful
home life for husband and children,
where simple gracious hospitality
was the kneynote of all social af-
fairs. What time could be spared
from this her supreme duty it was
not to enter gilded salons of mirth
and music, but to walk the alley
ways of Washington to inspire bur
dened mothers with hope to gladden.
the darkened lives of the children of
the slums, to make the weak and dis |
couraged to grow strong in the COM
forting thought that somebody cared. |
Beautiful human love! Gods love!
Not in words only but revealing it
self in tender loving service to hui
mainly. Who can say how often the
silent appeal of her pure life rallied
the soul of the president, and sum
moned his world-weary spirit to vic
tory? How fitting that in the
church of her fathers, to which she
was faithful unto DEATH" prayers
of Thanksgiving should be breathed
over the lffeless body for the radiant
life she lived.
Mrs. Wilson has planted her per-
sonality deeply on the heart and
memory of the nation. Fitted to
glorify the abodes of royalty, as well
did she adorn with womanly graces
the lowly places OF earth, and today
as all hearts are bowed in the deep
shadow of bereavement truly it can
be said:
Her victory was that of blissful ser
vice,
Her crown that of winsome, loving
kindness"

SENATOR'S IN FISTICUFF
FOLLOWS HOT WORDS BETWEEN
M'GREGOR AND MNEIL.
Former Remarks ON Disappearance
of His Bill and Latter's Reply
Brings On the Trouble.

Brings On the Trouble.
ATLANTA Senator w. D. Nc
Neil OF Macon and Senator G. D. Nc
Gregor of Warrenton, in a sudden
fame of passion on the floor of the
senate Wednesday morning struck
each other. They were Immediately
separated, and both men apologized
to the senate.
Senator Mcneil, refused to with
draw statements made, which pro-
voked Senator McGregor to strike
him.
Senator McGregor arose to a ques-
ton of personal privilege and said:
my bill to write the county unit
system into the organic law of the
state has mysteriously disappeared
from the general judiciary commit
tees hands, to which it was submit
ted. Repeated inquiry has failed to
locate it. | am convinced that it is
deliberate plot of political enemies,
engineered from Washington, to pre-
vent action here.
81 absolve the chairman of the
committee (Senator McNeiD and the
secretary Query Brannon) from
any blame. But the fact remains
that the bill has disappeared and III
characterize it as contemplate"
Senator McNeil's Reply.
Senator Mcneil arose to reply and
said: II wish to defend the commit
tee from the charges made here
against it. Every man on that COM
mittee is as true a gentleman as the
senator who makes the accusation.
I damn your statements as false"
shaking his finger at Senator Nc
Gregor.
Senator McGregor walked around
by the press table, and leaning over,
said to Senator Mcneil privately, ac-
cording to reputable authority:
"Why, senator, l made no charges
against you; in fact, exonerated you
from blame" 1t is said he then NAM
ed a senator whom he blamed.
"Then, d--n it, you ought to have
courage enough to name your man
on the floor" Senator Mcneil is said
to have retorted.
Thereupon Senator McGregor
struck Senator Mcneil on the head.
Like afash Senator Mcneil whipped
a blow to Senator McGregor's face.
A newspaper reporter seized Senator A.,
McGregor, and Senator B.. S. Miller
grabbed Senator Mcneil.
Both senators we're reprimanded
by President Anderson and both
made apologies to the senate.
81 do not 'etract a single word
used, however," added Senator Nc
Neil. Order quickly came after the
trouble.
It will be recalled that Senator Nc
Neil had a personal difficulty on the
floor last year with Commissioner Of
Agriculture J. D. Price. Senator Nc
Neil accused Mr.. Price of lobbying
and hot words passed. Senator Me-
Neil. it was charged, pulled his knife
on Mr.. Price, but they were separat-
ed before any trouble ensued.
II am extremely sorry I struck as
a man as Major McGreg-
or" said Senator Mcneil afterwards
1T was purely reflex and the moment
the blow was struck pulled back
After the storm blew over the bilr
