DR.. Mikell Accepts
Bishop Appointment

Atlanta, Ga, July 7.-Df. H, ]. Mi
kell, of Christ church, Nashville, has
accepted the appointment of bishop
of the Atlanta diocese, which was
rendered him last week.
Word was received Friday that let
ter of acceptance had been forward
ed by DR.. Mikell.
Episcopalians and members of other
denominations are enthusiastic over
the prospect of DR.. Mikell's coming to
Atlanta. Nashville made a strong eff
fort to retain his services and there
was some apprehension here that this
influence might cause him to refuse
the appointment, as he had previous
ly refused to accept two very fatter-
ing offers.
Refused Two Calls
DR.. Mikell some time ago received
call to the church of Saints and All
Angels, of Boston, which he refused
on account of pressure from the PEG.
pie of Nashville. He also refused a
call to prominent church in INV
Orleans.
DR.. Mikell is one of the most widely
known of Episcopalians in the south
His work in Nashville has. won gen.
eral praise. During the past ten year:
as rector of Christ church, he has en-
deared himself to all classes of Nash
vile citizens, and when the call t.
Boston was received a petition wa:
signed by more than 1000 men, wo
men and children, Jews, Catholics anc
Protestants, was presented to hin
urging him to remain there.
DR.. Mikell has taken part not only
ii religious affairs, but has been prom
inent in the civic life of Nashville ant
has been active in all movements fo
mass betterment.
The new bishop is graduate of Sc
vance, having received the degrees o
M. A., B. D. and D. D. at the Univer
| sity of the South. He is a native o

GRADUAL INCREASE IN THE
NUMBER OF RECRUITS
FOR THE ARMY

Recruiting in Georgia for the Regu-
lar Army continued brisk, and the av-
erage per day is gradually increasing.
Georgians have walked up to the ad-
vantages of enlisting early and they
are coming strongly. The infantry is
now the popular branch and men have
made up their minds to take advan-
tage of the unusual opportunity for
promotion that this branch offers.
Six entirely new Regiments of Infan-
try are to be formed in Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Ga, which means 1900 non
commissioned officers are to be APP
pointed at once. Fort Oglethorpe, To-
Gated as it is in beautiful Chicamua-
gee National Park, Ga, near Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. offers an ideal spot for
training and luckily our Georgia boys
will in all probability be trained there.
The only other branch of the SER
vice now open is Signal Corps, which
needs few men such a Radio and
Telegraph operators, Wiremen, Elec-
tricians, and men familiar with the
construction and maintenance of tele-
phone systems. Both these branches
offer excellent chances for promotion
and are good live branches for ser
vice. Georgianss don't hesitate long
err! Enlist now, so you can take adj
vantage of all inducements offered
by your early enlistment.

A British aviation officer, who did
air service in East Africa, included in
one Of his reports graphic description
Of an immense valley filled with the
huge arum lilies, over which he flew
somewhere in the region of Zanzibar.
AS he passed over the valley he was
5000 feet high, but the perfume Of the
lilies reached his nostrils for a long
distance.
BY means Of his glasses he observed
that the lily flowers were "as large as
elephants ears" and that the whole Of
the valley had been monopolized by
the beautiful flowers. The luxuriance
Of the vegetation was particularly re-
markable. He learned Later that the
scent Of the flowers was so overpower-
ing in the valley that no native had
ever dared to penetrate within its bor-
ders.

GOOD GOLFERS MAKE BAD
SOLDIERS AND VICE VERSA

Atlanta, Ga, July Apparently it
is impossible to learn golf and mill
tary drill at the same time, and equal
ly impossible to be good at the bay
onet lunge and the mashie shot.
The only regret of the young STU
dent officers at Fort Mcpherson is
that their training has ruined their
form on the links. After two months
of drilling at the fort, when they re-
turn to the country clubs on Saturday
afternoon and Sunday they find that
their ease and grace with the golf
clubs has disappeared
In golf you address the ball with
your feet well apart, while in the mil
itary you stand at attention with your
heels together. In swinging your golf
club your feet stay on the gound,
while in the bayonet lunge youB left
foot comes upward sharply and for
ward at least fifteen inches.
The most curious phenomenon on
the links is the young fellow who
learned the military manual first and
then went in for a try at golf for a
diversion. His combination of mill
tary form and golf form makes pretty
good comedy.

Burning Up Wealth.

Who can tell how extensively our
preventable fires count in the cost of

a fire for every minute of the year.
The daily destruction of 100000 means

a grain elevator burns, with a loss of
100000 bushels Of corn and 100000
bushels of oats, or fire in storage

means. But every fire affects the cost

IRWIN COUNTY ELECTION
STOPPED BY INJUNcTI0N

From the Ocilla Star.
No election was held Wednesday on
the no-fence question. Judge Crum
on Monday granted an Injunction that
effectively carried the election in ia
vor of fences for the next year, at
least.
The chief ground of the petition for
injunction was that the notice of the
election had been run in the Oci1la
Star too short time. The notice APP
peared for the first time June 9TH and
the election was to be held July 9TH.
and as this was a few days short of
the 80 days required by. law for such
notices, Judge Crum held that the
notice was not sufficient, and for this
reason enjoined the county officers
from holding the election.
This actor put an end to the mo-
fence agitation till next July, as the
law fixes the first Wednesday in July
as the one day in the year when this
election can be held.

President Rebuked

Atiahta, Ga, j 7-The good old
Saunty of Hart, named in honor of
nancy Hart, the famous Revolution
By War heroine, who captured a de-
kchment of soldiers single-handed
hen they came to her house and or
8ered her to cook them dinner, is
light in line where she ought to be in
me of war, according to a speech on
she floor of tt senate yesterday by
Senator A. A. y Ckrry of the Thirty
First district, wh3 rose to inform that
body that the views expressed on the
floor of the House by Representative
Winn, of Hart county, in opposing the
Resolution of indorsing Woodrow
Wilson, were not the, views of the
people of Hart county, where the
n senator lives.
He gave the senate to understand
that while Representative Winn no
doubt honestly believed he was rep
resenting the sentiments of the people
OF Hart county, for whom he spoke,
he was simply mistaken in thinking
they stood anywhere in time of war
except for the flag, where their ia
theirs have always stood for genera
tions.
And likewise Senator w. F. Weaver
OF the Twenty-Third district, which
embraces Taylor county, gave the
senate to understand that Represen-
tative Foy of that county did not truly
represent the sentiments of his peo-
pie when he voted, with Representa-
tive Vim and three others, against
the resolution.
While these senators were thus re-
pudiating the action of the represent
tatives from their counties, Represen-
tatives from their counties, Represent
tative Winn was entering on the Jour
nal OF the house written protest
against the adoption of the resolu-
ton, in which he recited the same
grounds set forth in his speech against
it.
The action of the house and senate
IN indorsing the president and especi-
ally the action of the house, has had
the effect of clearing the atmosphere
IN the capiol concerning the question
of where Georgia people stand toward
the President and his policies and war
plans. 1t has made everybody feel
better to know that sedition is not
abroad in the state, despite the efforts
of certain people to spread sedition,
and tfwt the overwhelming majority
of the people are the same sort of pa
triots that southern people have al
ways been.

AS far as the supply OF salt goes
there is enough available to last us
forever. Michigan alone, according to
the PopHlag Science Monthly. claims
to be able to supply the whole world
for 1900 years with all the salt 1t
needs. But no matter how plentiful
salt may be 1t has the disadvantage of
being a poison, for no salt Is wholly
pure. Thus If the poison in salt can be
eliminated vast additional sources viii
