The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-24

he handled both the other Birmingham
 papers. I asked him how in the world
 ne had managed such a combination as
 .o handle papers for good natured rivals
 ms 'eilkihs and Dunston. "Oh!' he re-
 plieo' peltve in consolidation: I give
 them all square deal and have con- vlnced them that I am the only person , In this neck of the woods that car nro-
 duce results. I watched him that aft- ernoon and he was giving the afternoon papers square deal for he had his boys lned up and all of them had to star+ rom scratch with no one taking .round- ance-" It seemed to suit the people of Jasper all right. The young fellow con- ndedJ to me that some of these days la was going to have the biggest news busi- ness in all Walker county. This idea of olgness-noW It does rule in our Aneri- can minds.
 Over at Marion there is another old man who handles The Age-Herald. I can never forget how he calls his wares It Is anything but feeble and has that intangible something in it that haunts ones memory. I have heard the street gamins of Mexico call La Opinion.,, "El Presente" and Mexican Herald ," the newsboy of Augusta call Here S your Chronicle" the boys of Chattanooga Here's your Times" but nothing has ever approximated The Age-Heraid man at Marion. By the way, when one speaks of Augusta Chronicle we are carried back to the days of Oglethorpe, for the Chronicle was established in 17s9, if remember rightly Back in those days the Baptist denomination of Georgia were firmly establishing themselves and l wish that Judge Stiles and Darby Brown could travel over in Georgia for a1n sure their faith would grow greater if such a thing be possible for Baptist. Recently in Columbus. Ga, I saw a church with this inscriptions:
 First Baptist church of Columbus, Ga. This church was constituted in 1929. This building erected in 1859. Remodeled in 1909"
 From this it can be seen that 1t would be altogether wrong for our Birmingham friends to feel so chesty over their church, and Dr. Dillard. Over in Augusta I passed the church where the talented Lansing Burrows used to preach and which now has l. great placard announcing to the sol diers that they are welcomed to each service. My good friend Brown ought to get over there and learn bit of the art of church advertising,
 But if you want to learn of the early history of Georgians, just go to Macon
 
 mounted a bell and the inscription states that it was presented to the city In 1880 by steamboat captain who ran on boat plying the Ocmulgee between Macon and Daren, and that the boat sometimes carried cargo of 1000 bales of cotton. When looked at that bell and the river I almost felt like I wanted to be a Tom Saw yer and get Huck and make journey round the world of Georgia. It was from the territory of south Georgia, not far, from Daren, that Oglethorpe's ex- petition went against the Spaniards near St. Augustine, Fla, and where >the expedition came to grief because too much confidence was placed in one \ Drago. Spaniard, who alleged that he was the friend of the Georgians. [ looked over the country and unused as to what great changes can come in one mans life, for the circuit clerk Of Ma con told me he could remember when the steamboat business of Georgia to a great deal He was an- other fellow I met that disproved Dr. Oslers theory, for he was fit and fine, right Jon the job and could write like 
 What a great old world we live in, oglethorpe and the Spaniards had to settle their differences by the sword, and all along the line we find that only by the arbitrament of arms have great differences been composed. Will so- oiety ever reach the point where they can speak of war as a senseleSs thing. as one English statesman has called it? Will we ever reach the point where we can substitute reason and see the end of the lane where rhilitarism leads? Will we be able to bring about a parlia- ment of nations of which our great President speaks and urges? Will we ever come to the point of our neghbors in Georgia, where they build monu- ments to great railroad developers like Wadley, as well as those to eommem- orate deeds>of military prowess? That Mr. Wilson will win in his proposal for a parliament of nations is the hope and wish Of BILL SYKES
