Georgia is occupying sad position

one single man in Georgia today who
is more responsible for the spirit Of

it such successful remedy for

WILSON WILL BE NOMINATED.

There seems to be no sign of oppo-
sition to the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson as the Democratic candidate
for president this year. There are
few rumors of an effort to bring
Champ Clark to the front in this con-
rection, but as the old saying goes:
They died a-bornin'."
Woodrow Wilson may truly be said
10 be the unanimous choice of the
Democratic party.
There has been some discussion
from Republican quarters as to the
sincerity of Mr.. Wilson's loyalty to
TIE Baltimore platform, should he
accept a second term. The platform
was built for party guidance, and
was probably constructed so as to
bring about this same discussion by
the master hand which drafted it. It
is at best a guide and certainly not
an instrument which would apply in
this connection. Mr.. Wilson has ex-
pressed his willingness to stand for a
second term and thereby notified the
world that he considered that plank
principle, rather than rule of OBJ.
GRAFTON in the party until it shall have
been nomaneted and expressed on the
statute books of the Congress of the
United States.
The only thing, therefore, to be
done at st. Louis in June will be the
adoption of a platform, and we shall
hope that, with plenty of time to de-
vote to it, there will be more care ex-
orcised and general interest manifest
ed in it's construction than there has
been in times past, particularly at
ore.-Thomasville Times Enter

FIRST AND FOREMOST

Very often the ability of company
or some one member of that company
is considerably overestimated, but it
can be taken as an absolute fact that
there is no possible way in which the
work of Mr.. Billy S. Clifford can be.
Walk This Way" is light comedy
that is full of snap and ginger nd
still retains story through its entire
ty which for simplicity and beauty
will not be equalled in long while.
This unusually clever piece will be
seen at the Opera House on Friday,
February 25th.
The staging of the piece has requir-
ed untiring patience and with ward
robe that will seldom be rivaled, it is
no wonder that the company has firm
ly established itself in the hearts of
comedy lovers as we'll as those cater
ing to the musical variety as shown in
this bill. Here are two distinct fea4
lures. combined into one ideally per-
feet whole.

A PROBLEM SOLVED.

To gathering of churchmen in
Cincinnati the other day, the Rev.
Ralph A. FELTON,, one of the secreta-
RES of the Ohio Board of Home Mis-
SONS of the Presbyterian church,
made some timely and practical sug-
gestions for saving the rundown coun-
try church, and through it's activities
as community leader, furthering the
progress of the section in which it is
located. Country churches everywhere
that find it a constant and hard strug-
gle to keep their doors open might
find in these suggestions solution of
their problem.
Greater interest in the church can
be aroused among the country people,
said the Rev. Mr. FELTON,, if the church
is active in the movement for good
roads, helping the tenant farmer, pro-
noting scientific farming, organizing
singing societies, and teaching the
boys athletics. Naturally, if the
church becomes the community CEN
ter for any or all of these things the
people who are interested in them
would seek out the church more often
than if they had to look for such
attractions elsewhere. OF course,
there would be no sidetracking of the
chief mission of the church on this ac-
count, and there is apparent no sound
reason why its religious influence
would be lessened in the slightest de-
gree thereby.
1t is obvious that if this great work
could be undertaken by the country
churches, the benefits would be mu-
tual The church in the sparsely set
tied rural district must necessarily de-
pend upon the farmers for its mainte-
nance. Whether the farmers are
prosperous or not, those living at &
distance are not going to attend
hchurch often if the roads are bad
Boys and girls are not going to re.
main on the farms and the church will
have few young people to help
keep it alive, if there are no singing
societies for the girls and 70 athletics
for the boys or similar harmless forms
Ct amusement and recreation to make
rural life more attractive.
The country minister almost invari-
ably is in intimate touch with the
folks among whom he moves, and
usually be has their unbounded conf
dence. He is leader, friend, COM
fcrter and spiritual adviser. Is he not
therefore fitted to help them better
their living conditions and surround
ings, thus enabling them to pay him
:, salary commensurate with hir serv.

GUARDS AS BLUFF
"March Into Mexico Would
Have Killed Them"-ScOtt.
Had No Intentions of Sending
State Troops Across Border.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The national
guard force mobilized on the Mexican
border would have required nearly
year of intensive training to prepare
it to meet trained troops Major Gen
cral Hugh L. Scott chief of staff of
the army declared today in continu-
ing to urge a universal service mill
tary system before a senate subcom-
mittee.
Fortunately the Mexicans were un-
trained troops" he added, "and our
purpose to protect the border was ac-
complished by the mere presence of
our men on the border without firing
a shot. We never contemplated send
ing the national guard over the border
until they had been trained, altho 1
sat up until 2 or o'clock every morn
ing at the war department, fully ex-
pecting a message saying that the
fight was on, that Pershing's force or
the border guard had been attacked.
Would Have Killed Themselves.
I'VE felt that national guard troops
would have destroyed themselves in
marching had they been sent thru
that hard country.
General Pershing's troops made
phenomenal marches. There was not
national guard organization that
could have done it. 1t would have
killed both men and horses"
General Scott said there were 20,-
600 Carranza troops around the
Pershing expedition and $4,000 more
opposite Douglas where great Amer
lean interests are located. These
were the points where he looked for
attack.
I'VE sent the national guard down
because it was all we had and we
wanted the Mexicans to see that SOL
diers were coming" he said. I'VE
sent some units almost unequipped."
DO you think this mobilization was
| beneficial for our country" asked
! Senator Brady.

was very beneficial. 1t prevented an
attack and gave protection to Ameri-
can lives and property on the border
for the first time in five years"
General Scott disagreed with Cen
eral Woods statement yesterday that
six months intensive training would
prepare soldiers for passage into the
federal service. The general staff be-
| lieved, he said, a year of intensive
training to be the absolute minimum
! He submitted the report on the nation

| ty regular army inspectors to show
the hopelessness of that system of mil
itary preparation from the army point
of view. TT is the volunteer system
that is at fault" Gen. Scott said. at
has always failed US. 1t is undemo-
cratic, unreliable, inefficient and eX-
pensive."
Asked if double the pay of privates
would improve the present system,
General Scott said, "If you increase
the pay of the army to a point where
must have you will bankrupt the ma
ton"
