BuCLES BLOW
IN ALABAMA
F. ss

Admission, Ala, Aug. 21-Notes of a
New Jersey bugle sounded reveille
today as the Alabama hills cleaned
in the southern sunrise.
Echoes that more than fifty years
ago defantly Knocked bugles of the
North, blowing to lead men in blue in
war against men in Southern gray,
today gladly caught and swelled the
call. The summons sounded for
North and South alike, rousing sons
of the Blue and the Gray, and turning
them out in olive drab for roll call at
Camp Mcclellan, where there arrived
before sundown last night the last of
the pioneer detachments of New Jer-
sey, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware
National Guardsmen.
AS provided in the orders, the New
Jersey troops proceeded to Camp Nc
Clellan without reporting their pro-
gress until their arrival. Word was
sent late yesterday that the last of
the New Jersey organizations had
pulled into camp. Company X of the
Third Infantry and Company E of the
Second were the first to arrive, de-
training late Sunday. The compan-
les of infantry that entrained Satur-
day in Newark were among the
troops arriving yesterday.

BOY BROKE
HIS PAROLE.

When a person convicted in Court
OF some small offence, is committed to
the care of the Probation Officer, it is
the part OF wisdom for the probationer
to serve the rules laid down by the
Probation Officer. They are not hard
and it is great deal better to observe
them than go to Jail and have this
stigma adhering.
Last October Maurice Todd was con.
victed in Court Of the larceny OF khaki
cloth from the Martin Dye Company
to the value of 500.
The Court sentenced him to the care
OF the Probation Officer. Instead of
reporting regularly to this officer, the
young man ran away, leaving the jur.
isdiction of the Court.
Last week he came back and when
discovered he was arrested and taken
to Jail.
He will now be treated more severely
by the Court; had he observed the
rules Probation Officer he could have
been at liberty and attending to his
work if he had any.

WILLNOTASSESSOYSTERS

The proposition of assessing for
taxes the seed oysters in Delaware
Bay and Maurice River Cove, as was
proposed by the State Board for the
Equalization of Taxes, is said to have
been abandoned for this year at least,
and the intended tour of inspection in
the State patrol boat "Cypher" will
not take place as scheduled. The
oystermen are pleased with the pros
pect of escaping from this additional
cost, which they feel would be an in
justice and hardship.
While the question is not definitely
settled, the oyster planters feel that
they will be able to show that there
is no taxable value in the oysters
planted in the bottom of the Delaware
Bay.

This makes SO men who have been
certified to in the first district by the
Board of Exemption. The quota re-
quired for this district is 1877. 1t
will be observed that but few more
than one-half of the quota has been
filled. The Exemption Board has now
passed upon all the $40 registered
men who were first called for exami-
nation. Many were rejected by the
physicians and a large number were
exempted upon filed claims.
When the registration was complete
and the drawing was made for the
draft at Washington, it was predict
ed that about so per cent. of the reg
istered men would go into service. AS
a matter of fact not one out of three
in the first $40 have been accepted for
service.
The number of exemptions with the
names, will be ready for publication
tomorrow and will be in the Pioneer.
Today the physicians begin exam
ination upon the second 300 men who
have been called from the registered
ranks. 100 will be disposed of today
by the Board, 100 tomorrow and 100
on Friday. About the same proper
ton of exemption claims is coming in
from the second called men as from
the first.
The Board feels that it is possible
that the full quota of 1877 men will
be secured out of this second 800.
This will make total of $40 to pro-
vide 1877 men for service.

is room for great changes of

For that matter the Bible

original account calls it merely a

the whale is, not a fish but a

has such a small mouth that it

commentators have thought it
must have been a shark. but that
doesn't help Jonah any.
| What we know as the Bible
was made up of writings from
many sources, In many cases
| there were various versions of
the same account: someone had

cred as reliable ard which not,
and this deciding was done by
human beings. Oftentimes extra
words had to be inserted to
make any sense at all. and in
other cases the experts had
heated discussions over what the
meaning was, just as they do
over passages in Shakespeare
or even Browning. If it takes

for this man we must say that

for this man God blew into bis

became a living soul.
A living soul means eternal
life, Hence we say that this man
was both a natural man and a
Spiritual man.
The Spiritual part the first
man did not have until Christ
died on the Gross and gave him

are puzzled, is because they have
not been taught the truth-But
instead they have been taught
that, The Man Adam placed in

Questions of this sort involv-
ing the truth or falsity of
Biblical statements puzzle a
many people, though they ought
not to. We have a letter for

are to ignore ii.
It ia ind eed sensible
question" though it is rot one to
which it is easy to givea a sensible
answer or an answer that will
satisfy everybody.
The kind of answer to be given
in such cases depends entirely
on what the persons asking and
answering the question believe.
If you accept the Bible as
absol ute!y stating the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth, then the answer will be
that the Bible does not say who
Gains wife was, or leave any
room for conjecturing who she
was.
The Bible says that God made
man our OF the dust Of the earth;
that this first man was Gale d
Adam, that the FIRST woman was
made out of one Of Adams ribs,
and that this woman was called
Eve "because she was the mo.
ther Of all living.'' Cain was the
first sou of Adam and Eve and be
went into the Land of Nod,
married wife there and build
ed a city"
II we accent the literal Bible
account, there were no womer
on the earth at that time for
Cain to marry. Some have said
that Adam aud Eve had daugh
tiers, and that females were no
considered of any special &C
count in those days and so the,
were not mentioned and tha
Cain aus married his owl
sister. If this were the case, ]
would be incest and it coult
hardly he supposed to bear to-
approval of God. Some others
trying 10 accountfor Gains wife
have assumed that God create
other races of man at the sara'
time as Adam and Eve. and that
Cam took a woman Of one OF thes
alien races rs his spouse. Son'

Gains wife was one OF the brut
creation, having no soul, All sue

are worse than ro explanaro

Even the Bible itself intimates

it was applied me!aphorica'ly to
the whole human race, and not
literally to one and individual
man. Geneises says: Male, and

the Lord set a mark upon Cain,
