LAW SCHOOL
CHANGES HOURS
To NIGHT TIME
Especial to Tlmes-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, July 23.-Rapidiy
changing conditions in city life have
caused many institutions teaching
young men to change their hours from
the day to the night, in order that men
actually engaged in business may at
tend the sessions without loss of time.
A notable example of this tendency is
found in the Atlanta Law School, an
old and famous institution, which has
just announced that in future it will
be night school.
There were nearly 100 students in
the law school last year and there
were many more shut out because they
could not spare the time for attending g
sessions. The new system will give
every ambitious young man an oppor-
tunity to study at night, not over a
lightwood fire as Abraham Lincoln
studied, but in comfortable and
modern building Immediately opposite
the new courthouse, and with access to
all the courts. Atlanta judges and
leading lawyers give freely of their
time and experience to aid the stu
dents here. and novel feature of the
next session will be class In COM
mercial law for business men, who
frequently find a need of such know
ledge in their business.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Comparative
calm prevailed today around the
works of the Standard Oil Company.
at Bayonne, where several hundred
operatives recently went out on a
strike, with resultant rioting being
responsible for two deaths during yes
terday.
Throughout last night occasiona:
shots were fired in the vicinity of the
oil works, but no one was hurt, as
far as ire police authorities have been
able to ascertain.
Crowds gathered near the works
early today but made no hostile move,
and this morning state officials began
their efforts to control the situation.
The militia has not yet been called out
though the sheriff has asked permis-
sion to bring here one hundred picked
police officers from surrounding cities
These are to wear their uniforms and
will be sworn in as deputy sheriffs and
placed about the works to protect the
property against unlawful attacks by
strikers and strike sympathizers.
Today is payday at the oil works,
and the authorities have taken unus-
ual precautions to prevent violence.
All saloons in the city have been
closed by order of the mayor and may
be kept closed until Monday.

CITIZENS MUCH
D|SPLEASED At
BURLESON ORDER
DISPLACING RURAL ROUTES IN
THIS DISTRICT.

While Americus and Sumter coun-
ty would be seriously affected should
existing orders relative to curtailment
of rural mail service here be en-
forced, it is still strongly hoped that
the vigorous protests fled by Con-
gresham Crisp with Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson will avail and the routes
permitted to remain as they are. An
inspector, it is expected, will come to
Americus next week to look into con-
ditions here.
While Americus would, under the
new order as promulgated, lose three
rural routes, Dawson and Terrell
county would be hit even harder. On
August 2, by order of Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson, eleven rural routes will
be abolished in Terrell five going out
from Dawson, three from Bronwood,
one from PARROT, one from Sasser ami
and one from Sasser, and in their
instead five motor vehicle fifty-mile
routes established.
The order of the postmaster general
has been the subject of much dissat-
isfaction there as here.
Congressman Charles R. Crisp has
been appealed to by the people of
Terrell county and others in the dis
trict, and he has protested against and
asked Postmaster General Burleson to
withdraw his order for the present.
However, Mr.. Burleson has notified Mr..
Crisp that it is his intention to en-
force the order and the criticisms and
protests of the people will likely avail
nothing.
Mr.. Crisp is still doing everything
possible to avoid the proposed changes
at Dawson, as well as in Sumter coun-
ty and other counties in his district
similarly affected.

BERLIN W ANTS
BAN PLACED On
CHRISTIANITY UN-
TIL END Of WAR
(By Associated Press.l

BERLIN, July 23.-A moratorium il
Christianity is proposed by a writer
in the Christliche Welt, one Of the
leading religious journals of Germany.
The writer urges that "in a war of
this character, where ruthlessness of
an unparalleled type is displayed and
where the very rudiments OF Chris
tianity are ignored, it would be wise.
If Christianity is to be maintained
that it should not be reached or
taught during the continuance of tho
war;"
The writer, who states that he is
now serving at the front. says he is
convinced that war itself is an evil
dence that for the time-being Evil is
uppermost in the world. 1T is as
though one We're obliged to lay aside
ones humanity and to relinquish all
that distinguished a Christian man. It
is mockery to ask men with blood
stained hearts to approach the table
of the Lord
The fighting in the trenches, con-
tinues the article is of such a charac-
ter that every feeling of religion and
every inclination to prayer ceases. 1T
is not Christian teaching that a man
wants as he comes fresh from the
frightful hell of trenches. War is a
phenomenon which the church should
not be able to bless. 1t is opposed to
every essential of Christianity, and
the sooner a moratorium for Chris
tianity is declared the better. There
should be no more Church nonsense
about the ennobling and purifying eff
fects of war. For hundreds of thous-
ands of men at the front, men who
once believed in the faith, the mora
torium is already in effect. When they
return from the blood-soaked battle
front, their Christianity will be of a
different order, and they will insist
cpon the Church adopting differen.

Mr.. Albert l.. Rees, of Americus.
while looking recently through a pack

the late DR.. A. L. Rees, a pioneer res

as physician and surgeon discovered
an important communication, which
bears upon the source Of water supply
at the great military prison stockade
at Andersonville during the War Be-

been the subject of vicious attack and
wilful misrepresentation upon the part
of people of the North.
Wren the site of the Andersonville
prison was selected, the fine stream
of pure waite coursing through it was
given particular consideration This
stream was kept pure and undefiled
while the prisoners were there
Notwithstanding this safeguard up
on the part of the prison authorities,
the most villianous falsehoods were
told in the Northern press relative to
alleged contaminated water and the
fairy tale of the mythical Providence
Spring, which existed many years
prior to the location of the prison. was
one of these canards, cut out of the
whole cloth, and known to be wholly
untrue by those who circulated it in
the hope of keeping alive Northern
hatred.
The letter found yesterday by Mr.
Rees and sent to the Americus chap
ter, U. D. c., for preservation, was
written by Major General Winder, in
charge of the Confederate forces at
In this communication
to DR.. Reese General Winder states
that, at the request of DR.. Rees, he
had requested physicians to make an
analysis of the water supply at Ander-
sonville prison, and found it to be of
best quality.
IN fact, he considered it the purest |
water to be found within the bounda-
