The Tragedy of Calvary

PLATE therefore. willing to release
Jesus, spake again to them, but they
cried, Cruelty him! cruelty HIM"
And he said unto them the third
time, Why. what evil hath he done?
have found no cause of death in
him; 1 will therefore chastise him and
let him go.
And they were instant with loud
voices. requiring that He might be
crucified. And the voices of them and
of the chief priests prevailed.
And PLATE gave sentence that IL
should be as they required. And he
released unto them him that for
sedition and murder was cast into
prison, whom they had desired; but he
delivered Jesus to their will
And as they led him away, they laid
hold upon one Simon, Cyrenian, COM
ing out of the country and on him
they laid the cross, that he might bear
it after Jesus. And there followed him
a great company of people, and of
women, which also bewailed and
lamented him.
And it was about the sixth hour, and
there was darkness over all the
earth until the ninth hour.
And the sun was darkened, and the
vail of the temple was rent in the
midst.
And when Jesus had cried with a
loud voice, he said, Father, into thy
hands / commend my spirit; and hav-
ing said thus, he gave up the ghost.
Now when the centurion saw what
was done, he glorified God, saying,
Certainly, this was a righteous man.
And all the people that came to-
gether to that sight, beholding the
things which were done, smote their
breasts and returned.
And all his acquaintance, and the
women that followed him from Galilee,
stood afar off, beholding these things.
And, behold, there was a man
named Joseph. a counsellor; and he
was a good man, and a just:
(The same had not consented to the
counsel and deed of them:) he was of
Arimathaea, a city of the Jews; who
also himself waited for the kingdom of
God.
This man went unto PLATE, and
begged the body of Jesus. And he
took it down, and wrapped 1t in linen,
and laid 1t in a sepulehre that was
hewn in stone, wherein never man
before was laid.
And that day was the preparation,
and the Sabbath drew on.
And the women also. which came
with him from Galilee, followed after,
and beheld the sepulchre, and how his
body was laid.
And they returned, and prepared
spices and ointments: and rested the
Sabbath day. according to the COM
mandment.-Iuke 23.

DIXIE GOES AHEAD
Old and New Plantation DAYS
By Frederic ]. Haskin
TIME South is going back to its
plantations. Lands that have

TINE South is going back to its
plantations. Lands that have
lain fallow for a generation
are being titled again and long
deserted mansions repaired and open
ed, sometimes as permanent homes,
oftener as country places and shooting
lodges. Wide fireplaces blaze again
on autumn evenings; halls that have
been silent for fifty years are filed
with music and voices; swamps and
pine forests echo the horns of hunt
ing parties and the trumpeting bay
of hounds
There is something peculiarly ap-
pealing about the rehabilitation of
these old mansions, some of which
have stood through the whole Ameri-
can story since colonial days, and have
sheltered the soldiers of three Ameri-
can wars. After Lees surrender, a
variety of conditions forced the
Southerners to leave their plantations
On the coastal plains. The rice industr!
could not stand the competition from
the West. Sea Island cotton, which
had long ruled the market, dropped
in price. There was no money in the
South to begin agriculture on new
lines. The people left their lands and
crowded to the cities. Now they have
found prosperity again. and they are
going back.
The movement is not primarily a
sentimental one, by any means. A few

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE RIGHTS

THERE are individual and COM
munity rights which must be
respected in order that the best
Interests of the city shall be conserved.
It will be noted as one walks about
Harrisburg that there is more or less
disregard of the things which directly
concern the community as a whole.
For instance, a fragrant illustration Is
the misuse of the paved streets by the
river coal interests between Verbeke
and Boas streets. Here the fine coal
sifts through the carts and for
squares the thoroughfares which have
lust been swept at the expense of the
city are Uttered with grimy black
dust as the small grains of coal are
ground to powder by passing traffic.
Inasmuch as there has been a con-
sistent effort for several years to keep
the streets of Harrisburg clean at
public expense It would seem to be
the duty of officials to see to it that
the littering of streets with ashes from
collection carts and coal from the
river should cease under some
eAI BGllL lSS anu
II will also be noted that a con-
Siderable portion of the river wall and
steps between the pumping station
and Hardscrabble is now being
utilized as a public wharf by these
same coal interests which appear to
regard the river front as their own
special and particular preserve, to do
with it as they see fit. If these inter-
ests have no proper appreciation OF
the rights of the community in the
premises and are Indifferent to public
protest as it has been voiced from
time to time. then the Department OF
Parks and the Department of Public
Works cooperating should establish
strict rules to prevent this sort OF
violation OF the rights of the public
Admitting that the recent high water
has placed these interests at some dis
advantage. they should realize that
he concrete steps along the river
front is public property and must not
he damaged without proper indemnity

You are proud of Jacksonville.

it is one of the most progressive
and prosperous cities in the coun-
try. You have reason to be proud.
Jacksonville is strong-hnancially,
intellectually, morally and in every
other way.

merely the knack of fusing those
elements into an effective unit. We
do not lack the power; we only
lack organiZa tion of it.
The public-spirited business and
professional men of Jacksonville,
working together, can do practi-
cally anything they set out to do for
Jacksonville. Now let's get to-
gether. every philosophical citi-
zen. Do 1t. Do not talk about it,
or debate how or who.
Let's get together on the things
which all of us want-our unani-
nous desire for more factories,
more home patronage for our
stores, for agricultural develop
ment. for port Development ana
greater use of the st. Johns river,
and all those other things which
will make Jacksonville a better city
In Vn~E fRh n a ia n
Here's the Chamber of Commerce.
Make 1T yours. Be one of the body
of citizens standing shoulder to
shoulder in an organization which
shall be your instrument for the
advancement of our civic welfare.
The Chamber of Commerce offers
itself for the. expression of your
civic ideals. the effective applica-
tion of your civic efforts.
Do you. Join hands with us on
Do not wait for a committee to
call and urge you to join. Offer
your membership and your service.
Let your action be thoughtful,
broad-minded, hearty, ambitious.
Harrisburg is n city somewha
similar to Jacksonville, save that the
Florida city is a port and has two o.
nothing on" Harrisburg. But oul
own people must not rest upon theil
oars. We have had a splendit
development during the last ffteer
years and our great progress ha!
been due to the cooperation of tht
entire community. Now is the tim'
to line up in every quarter of the city
for the work of the summer There
must be no falling back in any direc
ton. AS in Jacksonville, the Cham
ber of Commerce, the Rotary Club
the Civic Club and all other organ
izations should combine their effort
with a view to accomplishing the bes
results in the making of a city tina
will stand as a light upon a hill foI
other municipalities.

Fighting for control of the Demo-

earnest under the name of Woodrow

Olu Guard, the men who did not get
recommended for federal positions and
those who have grievances against the

manshlp with him. The reorganization
iactlon Is lining UP behind Palmer and
ms pals and the battle will be waged
up and down the State for the next
three weeks with a ginger that will
make 1t worth while observing.
The funny thing about this fight be-
tween the rehabilitators and reorgan-
lZers Is that each side is vociferously
claiming that 1t represents Woodrow
wilson and that the other side is not
sincere. Palmer has a personal grudge
against Liebel because he ventured to
dispute his leadership and is asserting
that Liebel is a foe of the President,

LORD KITCHENER's PREDICTION

Late in the winter of this year and in the early spring. some who have had part in negotiating foreign loans and who also knew that France, Russia, and possibly in few months England. might approach the American markets for fresh credits or loans. were per suaded that it would be expedient for them to get as good an opinion as could be obtained about the length of the war. For that contingency might play some part in the negotiation Of future credits or loans. For that reason, the question was put directly to Lord Kitchener in March. and he was assured that it was asked of him not out of curiosity. but simply because it was deemed advisable to be well informed about the probable duration of the war. Lord Kitchener instantly replied--and what he said was about his last com munication to any American-that in his judgment the war would not he ended before midsummer of 1917 and might be continued into the following year. This was important ,nformation for the financiers to have, for it will play some part in their consideration of questions associated with future in ternational financing.

But never descend to the level of the animals by giving blow for blow and-she searched for an effective simile tooth for tooth. The boy who fights in youth will be soldier when he grows up-a brutal, bloodthirsty soldier, fit only to be food for cannon. You know how deeply I feel about this, Harold.

ANNISTON

Anniston. June 27.-(Special.)-It was learned yesterday that three Anniston me- groes are members of the Tenth cavalry, two companies of which were almost wiped out in the Carrizal massacre. The names of the men are Claude Harvey. Jr, Ben Marcus and Jim Dorsey. The the Central foundry, says that he has been unable to learn whether or not his son was killed at Carrizal.
 Arrangements are to be made shortly to extend the large sewer from a point near Sixth and Glen Addie to Eleventh street. This will be a Is or 18-inch pipe. From the Eleventh street terminus of this large pipe small lateral about eight inches in diameter will be extended to the new Pine avenue school.
 The board of education recently set aside 5000 for this purpose from it's funds and at the last meeting of the city coun- cil it was unanimously voted that the city make up the balance of the expense.
 The extension of this sewer is looked upon by the people of the west side as an initial move to have the city's sewer system generally extended through the western part of the city, as the arrange ment of the present contemplated will give sufficient fall to permit extensions through most of that section of the city. Some merchants on West Fifteenth street are taking an active interest in the coming election of mayor and city councilmen and say that they are not going to lend their support to any can didate unless he is in favor of open ing up the road near the furnace which connects Fifteenth street and the Eulaton road, and to have Pine street opened through Letcher's quarters between Six teenth and Seventeenth streets.

LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

l
 New York, June 27.-(special.) .)-Some- times I think that we who live in Man haitian might possibly be able to put a check on the heart breaking speed of ] life of this island, if it were not for the dear folks from home Yes, sir, you are the guilty parties. Every time we get all 1 set to slow down and think about safety first" along comes somebody from the old home burg, and we have to do just what is expected of us-throw her wide open and sit tight.
 From a friend in Nashville, who is | conservative to the degree of apparent docility. and who, though a consistent churchgoer back there, never misses a single unit of the array of white lights
 on Broadway, comes this summons: We are due for lobster dinner with the usual trimmings, and likewise a few other things beginning about July 15. will be stopping at the Vanderbilt, and will phone you as soon as I arrive." In the face of a command like that, what has the poor dweller upon this peaceful isle in the way of a chance for modified celerity? And that is what is happening to the majority of us at not infrequent intervals When the party from home appears on the scene, we realize that we have big show here, and that he expects us to do our duty and show him as much of it as is pos
 sible during his visit.
 That sort of thing would soon become the height of boredom, unless we went
 right into the spirit of it. and remained
 therein as long as our visitor stayed with
 us To them, it is not an every day
 proposition; it is the exception-the re-
 laxation.-and they naturally feel that we
 who are here always are not doing any thing especially unusual, when, as a
 matter of fact, most of us keep away
 from the white lights the greater part
 of the time. Lobster is all very well
 for good digestion, but it doesn't take
