power without a blow in its defence.
Probably the most noteworthy
event in the history of ancient Toni
was its Designation by the Emperor
Augustus as the place of exile of the
great Latin poet Publius Ovidius Naso,
Familiarity known as Ovid. The poets
offense was the publication of "Ars
Amatoria," which enjoys the question
able distinction, according to no less
an authority than the oxford scholar
George Sidney Owen, of being perhaps
the most immoral work ever written
by man of genius. Augustus had be-
come peculiarly sensitive about such
literature because he had been forced
to Danish and disinherit his own
daughter, the brilliant and beautiful
Julia, on account of her scandalous
Intrigue with tine son of Mark Antony.
This disgrace was followed by a sec
ond scandal in the imperial family
the notorious behavior of the younger
Julia the emperor's granddaughter.
AS Socrates was charged with having
corrupted the youth of Athens, so
Ovid was deemed by Augustus as at
least in part responsible for the cor
ruption of youthful society in Rome.
Therefore he was ordered to leave the
capital and take up his residence at
Toni, where he remained for the last
eight years of his life, bitterly com
planning of his fate in series of let
tiers, compiled as the five books of the
Tristia."

RED CROSS SEALS.

The holiday season will soon be upon
us, and even in the mercantile world
preparations can be witnessed for the
Christmas tide. A strong evidence of
the approaching presence is the Red
Cross seals, and this worthy cause
has announced their work to be car
ried on through November and De-
cember
This section of the states is handled
through Atlanta and the Raoul Foun-
dation The following announcement
has been made, which is very inter
esting:
Three hundred million Red Cross
Christmas Seals are being printed in
Cincinnati for the annual holiday cam
paign to be conducted under the joint
auspices of the American Red Cross
and the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
'The campaign for the sale of Red
Cross Seals this year will be larger
than ever before. Although in 1915
the sale reached the record total of
S00O0,O0O seals, bringing in 100000,
il is expected that this year at least
1OO,0OO.00OO seals, or $1,0OO,OOO worth
will be sold. The sale will be from
Hawaii to Porto Rico. Every state
and territory in the United States will
have seals on sale. New organizations
will be working in a number of the
western states, including Montana,
Utah and Wyoming. Distribution of
the seals is now under way.

GEORGIA'S TWO SENATOR'S.

If there was one thing any more
than another which swept the con-
vention hall at Macon Tuesday with
applause and enthusiasm, it was the
reference of Hugh NJ Dorsey, the
nominee for governor in his speech of
acceptance, to Georgias two repre-
sentatives in the upper house of con-
gress-in plain English, to Hoke
Smith and Thos. W. Hardwick, Geor-
gia's two senators.
Mr.. Dorsey's language was not mis-
taken by the gathering, and the Dor
sey men were thrilled-for they were
waiting for that high-tide to let the
old building quake with enthusiasm.
The special words of Dorsey were:
1T must be a source of genuine re-
greet to Georgians everywhere that our
democratic president, Woodrow Will
son, in his efforts to surmount these
difficulties has not had the benefit of a
more cordial and consistent support
from Georgia's representatives in the
piper branch of congress-
The term of Senator Hardwikc ex-
pires on March 3rd, 1919, and the cleo
ton for the full term of Senator Hard
wick's seat will be held in 1918. He is
now serving the unexpired term of the
lamented Senator Augustus Octavius
Bacon.
Senator Hoke Smiths term does not
expire until March Bird, 1921, but the
election which will choose the senator
will be held in 1920-four years from
now. 1t was for this race that T. E.
Massengale, of Warren county, said to
be disciple of Watson, nominated
Dorsey Tuesday in the Macon conven-
ton.
Georgia is scheduled for warm poll
tics in the senatorial races, and neither
senator must think that his credentials
of service read for lifetime. They
would make fine private citizens.

HOBO MIGRATION
STRIKES MEMPHIS
show day morning.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept 2S.-The
first frosty air of fall has started ho-
Dos migrating south. Florida and the
costal regions of Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi and Louisiana are the
destinations of the tourists who ride
trains but do not buy tickets.
Travel is not confined to freight
trains alone Many tramps have been
found in to tops and blinds" of fast
passenger trains. Tramps failing to
find a favorable opportunity to make
q train" have appealed to police head
quarters for lodging here. A few Of
these migratory spirits have spent the
summer in the South but a great ma
jority of them are from points as far
north as Chicago and ST. Paul and
some haev been found who spent the
summer in Canada.

Starvation is recognized weapon of
war. The fact may be horrible, but fact
lit is. Under such rules of war as there
are, no belligerent can justly complain
of the practice by another. BY means of
the pinch of hunger the Germans cap
tured Paris, Belfort, Metz, and Strass-
burg in 1870. Only after extreme suffer
ing from a starvation did Paris surren-

Quoting siege on larger scale against
Germany, are similarly hoping for ulti-
mate capitulation OF the enemy as re-
suit of exhaustion through lack Of food.
In this as in other ways, war outrages
the true feelings Of humanity, and has
but the poor excuse that its action il
warranted by laws which war itself has
made.
Admitting that belligerents may legal

achieve its conquest, can they legally
after it's conquest, employ starvation
against its remaining non-combatant IN
habitants? This question is raised by
the action of the conquerers in Belgium,
Serbia and Poland. They have stripped
Belgium of the produce of two haryests,
have eonhscated farm stocks and made
the people till the fields for German
use, have sold in Germany what the
army of occupation did not need, and
by extorting more than Sl00,000,000 a
year under the name of war taxes have
made it impossible for the Belgians to
buy food wherefore America has tried
to feed them.

the helpless non combatants left in their |

CURRENT COMMENT
Pretty Petty Business.

There has been considerable justih.
able comment in the state press over
the action taken by the Leland and Gray
seminary at Townshend in accepting a
bequest of $4,000 on the terms that
the principals of the institution shall
always be members of a certain Pro-
testant denomination. The principal who
was in charge at the time of the ac-
ceptance of the bequest is forced to sew
er his connections, although he is cred
tied with having been a competent man,
well fitted for his work, having given up
TO this time complete satisfaction. But
it is. not with the man who has lost
his position that there is real concern,
although that is not TO be passed over
unnoticed, but rather is the fact that
an institution is willing to saddle itself
for all time with burden of this kind
causing comment. Somehow or other it
does not coincide with the thought of
the times Ten thousand dollars may
look like large sum TO the seminary
Just now, but it has paid fearful price
for the assistance the money will be.
There is principle involved which is
divorced from the monetary
however large or small
that may be. II is an excellent example
of the narrow and confirmed viewpoint
that some otherwise estimable Christian
people possess. Instead of bringing the
creeds nearer together, such acts as this
drive them further apart and accom-
plish the reverse of good.-St. Adams
