STILL. ENT|CINC
SOUTH'S LABOR
AGENTS SEEM TO HAVE PLENTY
OF SPENDING MONEY AND
PROMISES.

Atlanta, May 1G- While tho gov
ernment is calling on the south as a
patriotic duty and measure OF self
preservation to increase food crop
production, 50 as not to be dependent
upon other sections for food and for
age, labor agents from the north and
east, backed by liberal expense ac-
counts, are taking thousands of ne.
groes away from the farms OF the
south to industrial centers where they
find that the glittering promises of
high wages, plenty of liquor and a
taste, OF social equality with the
whites are delusion and a sham.
Therefore, The government will be
asked by the Georgia State Council
OF Defense, which held a long ses-
sion yesterday in the office of Cover.
nor Harris, to stop the labor agents
and therefore check the exodus OF ne.
gfoe9, as measure of protection to
the south in the efforts which it *
making to raise an abundant supDlv
OF food and forage.

understanding OF the situation there
is no real line OF cleavage between
the pgincisles Of the PresbytcriaE
church in the United States and the
constitution OF the Federal Council.
We thing it proper. however, to rec
ommend that the Federal Council
clearly reailirm its adherence to thai
absolutely separation of church and
state which is one OF the cherished
horitages OF the great body of Amer
lean Professionalism. The churches o'
the Federal Council stand squarell
upon hits historic principle.

This is the order OF Uncle Sam. and

1t is said the physical examination
OF the slackers and loafers will not
be as hard as that of genuine
country loving chap. 1t will throw
the. veil of charity around any posi-

the service and make men of them.
1t may be said that quite a large
number here who will get the touch
