AN APPEAL TO BIBB COUNTY'S
BOARD OF EDUCATION.

AN APPEAL TO BlBB COUNTY >
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
To the Bibb County Board of Public
Education,
Dr. w. T. Morgan, Secretary,
Macon, Ga.
Gentlemen: AS the time is ap-
preaching for your honorable body
to appoint teachers for the ensuing
school year, we desire to utter
word of admonition.
It is said that Eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty" Every
principle of the American Govern
ment is founded on Liberty and
Freedom-which has made ours the
best land on the globe in which to
live. This principle rests, in it's last
analysis, upon the free public school
system, and if it is destroyed, or i'm
paired, to that extent viii every
principle of our free institutions
suffer; therefore, it is the duty Of
every lover Of freedom to take cog
nizance of any influence that may
now exist or that may be developing,
which has for it's purpose the de-
struction of the free school system,
anu SNC4y IupCOIhGI1I' CudC.
it may develop into that perfect sys-
them which will chain ignorance, and
lead our people into that greater
light and Liberty which KNOWL-
EDGE can give.
The order has gone forth from the
Roman Catholic Hierarchy to Make
America Catholic" To this end, the
free press of the nation has been
muzzled, the tentacles of the "No
Itemere decree have practically
sealed the lips Of the Protestant
ministry, lecturers are mobbed and
intimidated and killed-all this to
prevent discussion of the subjects
of Freedom after this is fully &C
|complished, Romanism has only to
get control of education as a means
|of eventually gaining political
supremacy, then will the hopes of the
Prisoner of the Vatican" end in
fruition; and America will be domi-
nantly Roman Catholic.
In the name of our forefathers,
who braved the perils of the deep
and cut their way through frowning
forests to escape the curse of that
twin monster enemy of all human
11ShCS, Mug anu anu OH
behalf of all true American citizens,
we respectfully ask that you do NOT
appoint Roman Catholics as teachers
in the public schools Of Bibb County.
We make this request, because it is
a notorious fact that Romanism is
deadly foe of education, and
especially of our free public school
system, and no enemy should know
ingly be permitted to enter it's sacred
portals.
In proof Of the above charge that
Romanists are foes of this bulwark
of Americanism, we cite authentic
authorities, as follows:
From the Syllabus of Errors of
Pope Plus TX, published in the Ro=
man Catholic Encyclopedia, 1912,
under the imprimatur of Cardinal
Farley, Archbishop of New York, we

GIANT SEOUOIAS ARE
THE OLDEST LIVING THINGS

Had Foot Thick Bark When Egyp-
tan Pyramids Were Begun.
One of the wonders of the ancient
world, and probably the greatest OF
them, was the pyramids of Egypt.
And yet some of the giant sequoias
of California that are now thrifty
trees had bark on them foot thick
when Cheops began building the
great pyramid that bears his name.
Beneath the shadow of the pyra-
mids Napoleon said to his troops
"Forty centuries look down upon
you" In the shadow of the big trees
of California one might say: Eighty
centuries look down upon you.
There are trees in the grove estimat-
ed by scientists to be 5000 and even
10000 years old.
The Oldest living things in the
world today are these giant trees.
Also the species of vegetation to
which they belong is the oldest in the
world. The sequoia tree, exactly like
that of California, fourished several
millions of years ago.

diers to him and makes many hero
out of peon.
Yet Villa for nearly all of his SS
years of life has been a bandit. A
few weeks over four years embraces
his career in the worlds eye.
Crossing the border with four men
in March, 1912, he at one time COM
mandad $4,000 armed men; and
around his tent was camped $4,000
cavalry, always his most priced arm
of service. Probably that was because
Villa is a superb horseman.
1t takes a Latin nation to develop
the combination of hero and murder
err and to give it stage space.
The border understands it, for in
the days of Villas prosperity he made
many an American rich. Most of
them are on this side of the border
today. They don't want to cross the
river.
You ask them why and the shout
ders shrug. Many recollect compan-
ions in graves on the Mexican side.
They were and are gun runners, am
munition smugglers, soldiers of fort
une, who thrive on border war.
All agree that Villa is murderer
killer" they call it down on the bor-
der, where nearly every second man
carries "gat," or small cannon. You
get wholesale impression that Villa
is "throwback," a reversion to type
to some chief of the barbarians who
swept from Asia into Europe and
brought with them the dark ages.
When in power he stood his best
friends against the 'dobe wall and
riddled them. His sensuality was
pronounced.
His love of splendor showed in
strutting and gold lace. On his cam
paign he fed the war correspondents
with champagne and gave them pri-
vate car. He didn't love them, but he
loved notoriety. He would sign his
own name in mere scrawl. That
was his educational limit.
There is no doubt that his person
atty dominates the situation in Mex
leo. For fear of him many an ad-
venturer has fed the country and
taken refuge on the Ell Paso side OF
the Rio Grande. On this side of the
river, waiting for the trouble to blow
over are Mexicans who held high of

A PECULIAR COLONY is
PUEBLO INDIAN VILLAGE
Unique Settlement In Arizona Dates
Back Unnumbered Generations.

Unique Settlement In Arizona Dates
Back Unnumbered Generations.
Perhaps the most unique settle
ment in the United States is the Pu-
eblo Indian village located in Ari-
iona. This village comprises $500
peaceable Indians, whose sole and al
most only aim in life is to secure a
livelihood as easily as possible. This
settlement is located in the hottest
section of the state, but the excessive
heat is not uncomfortable to these
people, whose ancestors have lived in
that desert section for unnnmbered
generations. Wastes of burning sand
stretch for miles and miles on every
side of this village.
A peculiar thing about this people
is that they have two distinct villages.
The summer village is located upon
the floor of the valley, where the
Pueblos occupy themselves in agrl-
culture. The produce they raise over
what they need to eat during these
hot months is stored away for winter
use.

the sale of tags will stop at that time.
In fact, the law requires that auto
mobiles be registered throughout the

sale of numbers after May l go into

which will be in 1917. In the 1916

ACCEPTS 100000
SHE ONCE SPURNED
Aged Woman Who Lives on One
Meal of Vegetables Day Takes
Miser Uncle's Legacy.

Well, she finally overcame her
scruples against tainted money and
accepted the 100000 legacy her
miser uncle left her.
The refusal of Miss Edith Kitch-
ing last week to take the money to
which the law said she was entitled
brought so many letters of protest
and advice to her humble one-room
abode in New York city that the wo-
man who lives hygienically on nuts
and vegetables, wears sensible clothes
and sandals, and eats but one meal
a day finally capitulated and says she
will take the money. She provides
that she will administer it to do the
most good she can while continuing
her simple, frugal life.
In February Miss Kitchlng tlrst
came to notice on account OF her re-
fusal to accept $4,000 of the estate
of the uncle, Francis j. Ripley, on
the ground that it was eXtorted from
the Door. She continued firm In her
resolve when the executor trust com
pany offered her the balance OF the
estate or 100000 in all.
New York worried about her to the
extent of more than 1000 letters OF
advice, and she has finally set new
York at rest by consentlng to- use the
money and rub the faint off 1t.
