WAR OF "COLONELS'
THREATENS GEORGIA
Real Ones Are Up In Arms Against
Us of Ii
tie In That State.

Atlanta, Ga.-A new order of things
has come In Georgia and with 1t no
less startling n radicalism than an at
tempt to restrict the title of Colonel"
which for generations has been an in
stitution. Those called Colonel" right
fully have risen In protest against the
designation being applied TO any one
who Is not justly entitled to 1t, and
men who have been addressed as
Colonel unchallenged for many years
are up In arms against this attempt to
deprive them of their "birthright."
The fight wakes warm, and the end
is not In sight, for there is no way 10
prevent n man being called Colonel"
IL his friends and the admiring public
choose so TO address him. Meanwhile
newspapers are being besiegcd with
communications from real 'colonels'
asking that the news stats use discre-
ton In the use of the title. All the
while pieces for the paper concern
ing pseudo '%'colonels" reach the ed
itors.
Ii is likely that Georgia has more
'colonels" than any other state. In
addition TO the real colonies who have
survived the civil war and the Spanish
American war and the colonies active
and retired of the national guard and
regular army, 1t has been the custom
of governors for time immemorial 10
appoint upon entering office n staff of
prominent men In all parts of the state

In connection with the conference
the general feeling here was that Swed-

Great Britain against the action of that

retaliation In stopping all parcel post
