Miss Georgia Roby

In the death of Miss Georgia Roby
the Episcopal church in Macon loses

consistent members. A few weeks
ago she was suddenly seized with a
paralytic stroke and though partially
conscious of persons and things around
her, she never was able to speak OF
make anything more than slight mo
tions of the hands after the seizure,
On Tuesday her gentle spirit passed
away,
Miss Georgia was born in north Ala
bama, but with her family came to
Noxubee just before the Civil war,
and the rest of her life was spent in
Macon. She was the youngest of the
four sisters, Mrs. Edna Bush, Mrs.
Augusta SellecG, Mrs. Feb. Holman
and herself; of these Mrs. Holman
alone now survives.
The interment was at Odd Fellows
cemetery Wednesday where numerous
friends were present to attest the re-
gard felt for her by those who knew
and loved her.

The U-BOat Raid.

The startling submarine raid at the very thres-
hold of the United States gives rise to questions OF
keen and far-reaching concern. Whether 1t fore
BODIES further complications with Germany depends
circumstances the full and exact character of
which not yet known. If the U-boats gave sufi-
cient warning before attack and took proper meas
for the safety of the lives imperiled the
present is quite different from that of the
Arabic or the Sussex any of the incidents which
gravely disturbed relations between Washington
and Berlin. The United States has never asked
Germany to abandon submarine warfare, but sim
ply to conform it to the law of nations and the
dictates of common humanity. 1t remains for Off
cial reports to show whether not those principles
observed in the attack off Nantucket.
Meanwhile, however several important facts
stand OUT
An American merchantmen the Kansas, was
held up by a submarine but allowed to pro-
coed as soon as her identity established, al
though she was bound for Genoa with cargo of
steel for the Italian government At the same time,
at least two other neutral merchantmen, one Nor
wegian and one Dutch, were destroyed. British
passenger liner which plies regularly between New
York, Halifax and st. Johns, N F., was torpedoed.
As far present reports show, lives were lost.
1t thus appears that while the U-boats were duly
considerate toward the American vessel, they made
short work of other neutral merchantmen. The
fact that passenger ship torpedoed raises i'm
portant questions.
Conducted as it was just outside this country
territorial limits the submarine raid is of peculiar
concern to the United States But until all the cir
cumstances of the incident are known from au-
thentc sources, final opinions and judgments must
be suspended.

The DeKalb County Fair.

Encouraged by the remarkable success of its
onae-day Fair of 1915 DeKalb county purposes to
rereat the enterprise this autumn on broadenej
and heightened scale.
Under the auspices of the Decatur Board of
Trade, plans are being perfected for a complete
and vivid portrayal of the county's resources and
achievements. Special emphasis is being placed
ON live stock and poultry exhibits and the
products of diversified farming. This is field in
which DeKalb county has won south-wide dis
tinction It's truck farm acreage is exceptionally
large and its live stock and darying industries
are known far and wide. The boys and girls Of
the county will show what they have done this
wear in their corn clubs, canning clubs, poultry
clubs and pig clubs There will be special exhibits
of woman's work showing the progress of house
hold industries. The Fair will be brought to a
close with great parade including agricultural
floats, five thousand boys and girls from the
county public schools and numerous other inter
esting features.
II is noteworthy that there will be no charges
whatever either as admission fees from the public
or as entrance from exhibitors. In order that
the enterprise may be purely and freely educa-
tionaI the publc-spirited citizens of the county,
under the leadership of the Decatur Board Of
Trade are raising a fund to defray the entire ex-
pense This will prove a profitable as we'll as
praiseworthy investment Thirty thousand people
we're in Decatur at the Fair last year, and the
number this season probably will be greater. The
Fair will open at noon October "a and continue
through the same hour of the following day.
Atlanta is cordially interested in everything
that makes for the development and prosperity of
DeKalb county because the two communities are
bound together by all the ties which business and
friendship can We trust that the DeKalb
Fair will be a trimming
