The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-09-23

The Georgia captain in his stroll
passed by the commissary and saw
Dick Ray refusing to deal out the
rations to the helpless women and
children, and cursing and swearing
because the people clamored for
morsel of food.
This noble captain, observing the
conditions, said: Company -
fall into line Notwithstanding the
soldiers were discharged and no
longer compelled to obey. Impelled
by the habit of obeying orders they
fell into line at once. Dick Ray was
suddenly taken with a leaving tenn
permanent of mind, so he locked the
door and departed in q trice. The
captain took charge Of the commits
sary and everyone wanting supplies
went away with good load. This
act is still praised by many about
Reidsvilie, though no one knows the
A DEFENSE OF SECRET ORDERS.
Dear Sir: In the issue of The JEFF
fersonian of July 29th, there ap-
peared a letter denOuncing college
fraternities. The writer accuses
these organizations of almost every
sin known to man, and all unknown
to himself He numbers their sins
until he gets to ten, then tells how
Princeton has abolished the nui-
sances, also Mississippi. He fails to
naentiont the fact that local clubs
more exclusive than college frater-
mites flourish at Princeton. He then
signs his name, begins again. He
asks the question "What is a College
Fraternity?' Proceeds to answer to
his own satisfaction. Living in a
small college town, coming in con-
tact day after day with college boys,
| admit l have never been able to
see where they were of the import
ance he attaches to these organiza-
tons. However | am not here to
champion these "Frats.' Referring
to the members of these organiza-
lions he says that they take some
kind of secret obligation sand EDO
Thing behind closed doors. [ don't
know what they do, but judging
from the signs and sounds in the vi
entity of their houses, or Goddess
they must be initiating the Red Man,
L
Red and their conduct is indeed
odd"
Now if these college boys are as
bad as he says they are do object
to his saying that they are initiating
the organization of Imp. O. r. NJ or
I. o. O. F. The Imp. O. r. NJ, is
commonly referred to as "Redmen,' -
and I. o. o. F. as "Odd Fellows" By
using the language that he does, it
might be construed to mean that
these organizations teach mankind
snobbery, encourage vice and intern
perance. AS matter of fact these
organizations are working day in and
day out, with all the force at their
command, for the uplift of human
ity If Mr.. Phelps means to say that
the Odd Fellows and Redmen are
an Incorporate set, if he means to
say that when these college boys in
dulge in the Hellishness that he ac-
cuses them Of that they are initial
ing the doings of Odd Fellows or
Redmen he is entirely mistaken. If
this gentleman knows as little Of
college fraternaties as he seems to
know of fraternal societies he knows
about as much about them as tad
pole knows about tooth ache. Let
him lambast these college organiza-
tons to his hearts content, but for
PHYS sake don't drag the names of
old and honorable fraternal societies
into the mess.

Rules for Country Correspondents

One of the most valuable assets A
country weekly can have is that cooper
alton from clever and energetic county
correspondents. The news of the county
should be covered by good correspon-
dent in every community. The brief,
newsy letters from the rural CenterR are
the making OF Il country weekly.
The Glacier feel like COngratulating
itself on the list of good, live news gath
erers, who each week fill many columns
with readable news of local happenings.
As far as the real gathering of the news
is concerned there could he no great inn
provement. However, there are some
few, simple rules that could be followed
benehCally. II country correspondents
will observe the following, the page of
country items will be more attractive
and can be set by The Glacier without
innumerable annoyances that sometimes
arise when the rules are not observed,
Always secure, where possible, initials
OF persons. Don't say Mrs. Smith and
daughters visited Mrs. Brown and fam
lily. If it is Mrs John Smith or Mrs. A .
A. Smith, designate them by their
proper initials or given name.
Always give definite dates.
Do not use authorizations, except in
case of given names.
In case of fire, give cause, total dam
age and insurance. if any.
Remember The Glacier sets country
correspondents on Tuesdays Endeavor
to mail your letter, so that it will reach
the office by Tuesday morning. We'd
nesday is reserved for the setting of the
news happenings gathered IN the local
office, and II the country correspondence
piles up on Wednesday, the office force
is badly hampered A little co-opera-
tion on the part of the country CORE
spOndents will in many cases prevent
late hours for the office force on We'd
nesdays.
II any important news happening
breaks in your community after your
letter has been mailed, you may reach
the office by telephone, or YOU may mail
another letter, that is, if it will be posi-
BILE for it to reach the office on Wednes-
day.
Don't hesitate to ask the office for
suggestions.
Ii you are ont of stationery, notify
the office. In case it is not received i'm
mediately, send in another call 1t may
lie possible that your first letter was
misplaced.
Remember that your are in charge of
one Of the most beneficial mediums in
your community. The Glacier appreci-
ates your work as well as your fellow
residents, whose weekly comings and
goings you chronicle.
The most important rule is that con-
cerning promptness of getting your let.
