the following leader telegraphed from
New York by Thomas w. Loyless:
There can be but one answer to this
last assault on the authority and integ-
rity Of Georgia
THE decency and civilization Of our
state must, at least, assert itself, or
else, pull up stakes and quit.
1t is a straight-out issue between
law and anachy; let Georgians choose
for themselves.
This climax was inevitable as long
as we permit incendiary publications
to set Georgia aflame. Tom Watson
has cost Georgia more than ten thou
sand good and true men can rebuild in
twenty years.
But the latter must begin now,
with q courage and determination
borne only in a crisis. unless they
wish to see the situation grow even
worse. 1t Is no longer a question Of
Leo Franks guilt or innocence; or Of
his life or death-but solely a ques-
tion Of Georgia's honor and good name.
THE war in Europe Is horrible
enough; but anarchy at home Is
worse.
Those who are disposed to tempor-
iZe with this situation further will be
as guilty Of Georgia's disgrace and
retrogression as the mob ITSELF Only
worse than either Of these Is the man
who has so persistently sown these
seeds OF hate and violence and anarchy
throughout Georgia. God may be able
to forgive him, but Georgia will never
be able to forget him and his hellish
work."

No "Smoke of Battle" Now.-One
of the marked features Of the Europ-
can war that distinguishes it from the
wars Of the past is the absence OF
smoke on the firing lines, says the
Popular Mechanics. Owing to the use
OF smokeless powder, no smoke is
made when rifle Is discharged, while
the heaviest artillery throws off moth
ing more than a thin mist that is inviS-
ible a hundred yards away and disap-
pears within a few seconds after the
gun is fired. Only when shrapnel oi
shell eXplodes in the enemy's lines
is there anything visible in the way OF
smoke. the whole purpose being to
conceal the position Of the guns throw
ing the prOjectiles while making the
points where the projectiles explode
clearly visible. The expression, 1.-The

tive of the wars of the past, has little

"HELL IN CHURCH,"
Editor Shells tho Woods and Listens
for q YeIp.

Editor Shells tho WOODS ana Iistehd
for YeIp.
Not more than a thousand miles
from Fountain Inn there is church
on which the devil has an overdue
mortgage. The majority Of the
members are headed straight for
hell, IL there is any truth in Scrip
ture, and God hasn't been inside the
building for so long that He wouldn't
recognize the place now II He went
back.
Regular services are held.
Half the women members attend
in order to show off new hats and
new clothes, and the other half at
tend in the hope of hearing some new
scandal.
Nearly all the men members hate
one another, and few If any Of them
are above retelling the nasty scan
dals brewed by the women.
When the preacher criticises GER
tain evils, each member thinks the
criticism Is directed at some other
member. No word spoken from the
pulpit lodges in a human heart, for
no one listens to the sermons.
The hearts of the members are
turned to evil, and their minds are
sewers for the reception Of filth.
The men have no thought Of care
except the making Of money and
the hope Of doing something to spite
some brother member; and many OF
the women have lost the power to
think of anything that is not las
civious and filthy.
Not many Of the men can tell the
truth, and the women lie by prefer
ence.
The aim and hope, the desire and
longing Of their lives is to do some
thing to hurt somebody else, and they
neither know nor care anything about
God.
There hasn't been a conversion In
the church for a month Of Sundays,
and there won't be another any time
soon-not while the devil owns the
premises.
If young man or young woman
should come to me and ask how to
find God, 1 would say: go to that
church. Then turn your back to 1t,
start away, and keep going in a
straight line. The further away you
get, the better your chances are"
I speak forth the words Of truth
and soberness when I say that God
will never again enter that church
until the women stop slandering one
another and the men stop hating one
another.
1t isn't a church anyway. It's a
cess pool, owned by the devil and
filled with his garbage.
