The Macon Telegraph Misunder-
stands the Roman Catholic
Issue.

ISSUE
HE Telegraph, of Macon, Georgia. is a
fair sample OF the Southern daily paper:
and therefore its editorial on the victory which
the Protestants gained, In the election to the
Legislature of Barfeld over Mcneil. is wor-
thy careful attention.
lnasmuch as McNeil's election had been so
confidently predicted the roll-up of the coun-
try vote which swamped his city majority,
seems to have caused wrath and indignation
among those who have always counted on the
success of the combined Catholic and barroom
vote.
The Telegraph not only mourns over the
injection" of the religious issue in the con-
test, but says that the issue was "nCt Of State
or municipality is, it had nothing to
do with the election of member of the
Georgia Legislature.
Let us see about that
The Telegraph says: :;It#fM:H
The men who made this republic possible were
men who left home and country, roofing up their
families to cross the ocean, so that they might
escape religious prejudice, distrust intolerance
and enmity. And on them was our nation
founded.
Who were these men that left home and
country, roofing up their families, to cross
the ocean, so that they might escape religious
prejudice?
Who ran away from the Old World. and
from aOhut were they running?
What were the Salzburgers fleeing from,
when they left Austria in such hurry, and
came to Georgia?
What were the French Protestants running
from, when they fled France, and settled in
the Carolinas?
Why was it that wv the original law of
Georgia, no Ronau1 ,.thozic qUas azz0aced to
settle IN the colony?
Why was it that the penalty of death was
prescribed for any priest caught in New Eng
land?
Why was it that the Virginia Colonists at
jamestown utterly refused to permit Lord
Baltimore and his colonists to land there?
The Telegraph knows why.
The Telegraph knows the bloody and dam
nable record of Roman Catholic persecution
of Protestants In the Old World.
The Telegraph knows that a vile old Grim
inal of Pope, Alexander VI, had taken
jurisdiction of the entire New World (ochich
John and Sebastian Cabot discovered, and
had divided it between the two Catholic
countries Of Spain and Portugal.
The Telegraph knows that the Catholic
powers of Europe declared that no ''accursed
heretics" should settle in America.
In pursuance of this murderous but truly
popish policy, the Catholic Spanish King had
every Protestant of the Coligny Colony, near
St. Augustine, 1'uthlessly mUssacred.
Not until the Protestants of England had
smashed the Catholic "Invincble Armada"
and boldly challenged Romes monopoly of
America, there anything on this con-
tinent, save the eaaszavenaent and erterminn-
tior yf Indians by the Spanish Catholics.
From Cuba to st. Augustine, and from St.
Augustine to California and Arizona, the
story is the same-the barbarous enslavement

FOurteen.karat Love.

Into a jewelry store there came a
shy, pretty young lady with her en-
gagement ring, which had been
bought there and which she would
like to have changed.
The ring fitted her exactly and she
was greatly pleased with the noble
sentiment of the inscription. What
e'er betide, let love abide; but she
did not like it's arrangement.
Examination showed that the
stolid, unimaginative old German en-
graver had carved in the sentence
regardless of the ring-maker's little
stamp of quality, and so 1t read:
"Whate'er betide, let AK love
abide"

A Possible Chance.

A young man who received his
diploma in June has been looking
around successfully for a position,
employment and a job. Entering an
office the other day, he asked to see
the manager, and while waiting for
that gentleman to become disengaged
he said to the office boy:
do you suppose there is any open
ing here for college graduate?"
We'll, dere will be, was the reply,

A Milk Shortage.

While travelling through Alabama
young salesman was one day forced
to dine at a farmhouse. Not being
very we'll satisfied with his meal OF
corn bread and bacon, he asked if he
might have a glass of milk.
NO." replied his host. "Ah don't
reckon you'll find any milk around
here since the dog died"
"Since the dog died!" echoed the
stranger. What's that got to do
with it?"
Why" replied the farmer; "who
do you-all reckon's goin' to go and
fetch the ow?"-Philadelphia Pub

The address of John Garland Pol
lard, Acknowledgement of Virginia IN
the First Baptist Church, was the
last but not by any means the least
interesting feature of the afternoon
Mr.. Pollard uttered some pleasantrles
during his address, but at times was y; $
serious and practical. He urged up
on his hearers the Importance OF max,
ing large aims, and said, if we
enter into small undertakings the
fruit would be corrcspondingly small.
In this connection it may be stated
that the evangelization Of the world
through the agency of the Sunday
schools was the dominating idea eX-
pressed by speakers at the dinner
given by the Worlds Sunday School
Association to Bishop Joseph c. Hart
zell, of Funchal, Madeira; DR.. John

of Cairo, Egypt, in New York last
week.
DR.. Mott said that the work OF
evangelizing the world would begin
after the war and that the opportunl-
ties for Christian advancement then
would be greater than ever before.
Bishop Hartzell, said that embraced
in the association were 24,50O Sunday
schools, with $4,000 officers, and
teachers and 27,O00,OOO pupils. Of
this number more than one-half, he
said were in the United States and
Canada.

close to the front, in an innkeeper's

installed, Gen. Joffre, bending over a

at the telephone, at intervals giving
orders in a basolutely calm voice.
In this position Gen. Joffre remained
more than % hours-from o'clock in
