on the streets and many of the side
walks have been rebuilt as the result
of being washed by the inundation

for the county seat and is favored
by many because of its central loca-

ton, Of Roswell, passed away. He
was g. pears old and the greatest
part of his long life was spent in the
interest Of his church and commun-

one child, Mrs. Owens, Of Roswell.
Mr.. Hairston was a model citizen,
a refined gentleman, and his devo-
ton to his church was especially
marked, and though crippled for
many years, it by no means kept him
from attending the services of his
church. He was for years a deacon

PROF. DERRY JUDGES ESSAYS
ON RECONSTRUCTION DAYS

Mrs. John M. Graham,
Chairman of Committee,
Marietta, Georgia
After careful reading of the com
positions submitted to me, ! have
decided that the essay signed Eliza
beth Lindley" is decidedly the best,
covering the whole field more com
pletcly than any other.
Permit me to say, however, that
Georgia suffered far less than South
Carolina, Mississippi or louisiana.
also that the Southern States did not
hesitate at all about ratifying the
Thirteenth amendment, but resisted
so long as they could, the ratifica-
ton Of the Fourteenth and Fifteen
tn Amendments. The one thing that
rebounds to Gcorgias credit during
that dark period of her history was
the hcroism Of her Governor, Cha
les J. jenkins and secretary Of
state, Samuel Barnett in saving from
the touch Of the usurpcr Georgia
Executive seal and the great seal Of
the STATE.
1t is just as worthy Of commemor-
alton as the hiding Of the charter Of
Connecticut from the tyrant'a grasp
in the old Colonial days
Georgia by her brave resistance to
tyranny through all the Reconstruct
tiCn period won for herself pOliti-
cal prestige rs noble as the ante
be!lum industrial enterprise, which
in the thirties Of the Nineteenth
century gained for her the proud
title Empire state Of the South"

who kne her Bishop Thurston
dwelt most tOuchingly on the beau

~ she is "one of those in bright ar
ray"
She was the third child born in
Wagner and had spent her entire
life there. Bishop Thurston spoke of
the prominence of her family as pho
neer citizens, both in the history of
the Episcopal church and also in the
history Of the country of what is now
Wag yer County, for it was still a
territory when they went there. Her
father, William Aston, and her un-
Gle, J. Rutledge Aston built the
First Episcopal Church in the stata
Of Oklahoma The deceased was the
first child baptized in the first
church by the first bishop of Okla
hcma, Bishop Brooke.

They mourn her loss but not
without hope, for truly she shall
live again for hers was wholly a
beautiful young life.

bassador Catches the Backfire.

Berlin, Aug. 18.-The fight on AM
bassador Gerard launched by several
German newspapers because of his al
legged utterances regarding the Ger

today. The Morgenpost's editor. how
ever, contented himself largely with
reiterating the hope that the German
government would investigate Gerard's
alleged attitude.
Gerard made a frank statement of
his position in a talk with the Ameri-
can correspondents. He explained his
reasons for not giving his approval of
the complaints regarding the British
censorship sent to Washington by GER
tain correspondents here. He explain
ed that by their action these CORE
spondents were inviting trouble be-
tween the United States and Germany.

Rotterdam. Aug. 1S.-Germany is
seriously considering the advisability
of asking for the recall of United
States Ambassador James w. Gerard,
according to reports in diplomatic cir
cles here. Mr.. Gerards approval of
the British censorship and his criti-
cisms of Germany are said to have
displeased the German government.
