THE STORY.


"Who shall roll away the stone
From the tomb so dark and drear?"
Sigh the loving women come
To anoint that Form 50 dear.
Lo, an angel robed in white
Guards the place where late he lay;
Powers of Darkness, shades of night,
May not hold the Prince of Day.
rye your risen Lord shall see,
Quickly his disciples tell,
Follow him to GaliIee,
Even Peter, thrice who fell"
First to Mary will he come
Seeking where her Lord doth lie,
To his tender well-loved lone
~"Rabboni," her glad reply.
"He was known Of them in breaking
of bread"
Him they'll know in breaking bread,
Though the hands nov pierced be
Which the hungry thousands fed
BY the shores of Galilee.
Him they'll meet from day to day
AS their earthly tasks they ply,
BY the sea, along the way
"Peacel" and "Fear not, it is II"
Forty days on earth he'll spend,
Still to put his glory by,
Then to heaven to ascend
Unto Gods right hand on high.
Follow him to Bethany,
Haven of his earthly rest,
Meet il is that thou shouIdst be
With his presence latest blestI
larry at Jerusalem,
Mourning not as comfortless,
Till the Holy Spirit come
Here your waiting hearts to bless.
Though no more on earth, apart,
Ye may walk by his dear side,
Yet his spirit in each heart
To eternal truth shall guide.

'Thou shalt be with me in Paradise"
Fear no longer death, the tomb:
He is risen, thou shalt rise.
Easter light dispels the gloom,
With thy Lord is Paradise.

own accord he goes to fight for his country.
 'G'he boys who volunteer as a matter of fact are the very ones who need the inspiration of good send-off for most of them have already told their trieuus and relatives good-by and come to the recruiting office alone, ready to take the train for their great adventure. They are in a frame of mind when a word of encouragement means a great deal to them. Perhaps l feel more strongly than others about this because my heart goes out to the man who volunteers He is tue one that you can count on to
 bring home the bacon. I am for him, 1 know he has the right stuff in him and that he will be credit to the serv- ice he enters.
 '0ur groups leave every afternoon on the same train and it seems to me that it would be very easy and very timely for some organization which has the cause at heart to make it point to meet these groups each day, just to show them that we do take an interest in them and appreciate what they are doing. Of course everyone does feel this interest and everyone wants to do every thing he can for a soldier these days. But there are certain times when it does a boy good to tell him how you feel One of these times is just before the volun- teer is ready to take the train to begin his military career.

CARLTON ADDRESSES WESTERN UNION MEN
President Warns Employes Against Self-Seekers on
 Eve of New Organization

Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union, issued the following statement 1T. New York yesterday which was given out by the local offices last night:
 New York, July 4, 1918 "All Western Union Employees:
 'In order that employees may have full understanding of present conditions it seems proper for me to say that on the eve of. the formation of western Union Employes' association, the gov. ernment is considering taking over the telegraph lines, because of the threat of an outside organization without meni' bership in our forces.
 No one would pay any attention 10 such . threat were not the nation at war. It is. therefore. pertinent to cali attention 10 the governments point ol view on outside union, as expressed ns Postmaster General Burleson before the House committee on Tuesday last, as follows:
 "T have never opposed the govern ment employees organizing. but if the telegraph and telephone lines are taken over the employees should not be affiliat- ed with any outside organization. The sole affiIation should be with the gov ernment and no outside organization should he allowed to influence their action
 From the foregoing it would appear that the policy of the company is precise ly that of the Postmaster General When your association is formed it Is pro- posed that the company make an ex- elusive contract with it under which the company will deal with the association in matters relating to wages, conditions of employment, sickness benefits. pen sions, life insurance and any other mat ters affecting the interests of employees In the meanwhile you may be urged TO do something foolish by sef-seeking in dividuals, who hope to improve tnei' own position. and such an individual representine a small union Of about zsVp members, largely Canadian. proposes or his own authority to call you loyal men and women of the Western Union from your work sll order to defeat the as5o- citation which you are about to form
 'I am confident you will answer this attempt by an additional demonstration of your loyalty to your government oy continuing at your post of duty withou' fear of criticism by right-minded peo- pie NEWCOMB CARLTON.

STATE CANDIDATES !. CONTRIBUTE ID THE
 ELECTION FUND
Candidates and Committee Differ With Attorney Gen. erals Opinion-J. Q.
 Smith Sends Check

Candidates for all state offices to be voted for in the August primary election are responding to our request for con- Secretary George H. Estes of the state democratic campaign committee, yester- day. The fact that Attorney General Floyd Tate has given it as his opinion that the committee lays itself liable to punishment for asking these contribu- tions and that candidates contributing will be liable to fine and Imprisonment, has had no effect on either. Practical ly every candidate has sent i'll his declaration, accompanied by check for the amount requested.
 Those expressing an opinion on the matter agree with the committee and State Chairman J. Kelly Dixon that where contribution is entirely voluntary, as the committee has stated it will be, neither they nor the committee violate any law in asking or making the volun- tary contributions.
 J. O. Smith of Birmingham. candi- date for attorney general, in sending his check for the amount named for his office, states that the committee can call on him for as much more as may be needed
 E. M. Baker of Fort Payne, candidate for representative wrote that he did not understand that he violates any law in making the contribution even though the committee did request it.
 w. S. Finch of Jasper. after mailing his check asked that it be held up, but later. after investigating the law, mo- tified the committee to deposit It.

Believing War Savings stamps a Eilt-edged investment, he put part Of, the proceeds In these secur- ities.

Reports coming into headquarters of the War Savings Stamp organization in the old coffee room on the ground floor Of the Tutwiler hotel regarding the thorough house-to-house canvass made by the women during the recent War Savings Stamp campaign are most en- ccuraging.

 Mrs. Brown of Avondale has also planned to captain booth in her terri tory.

''The man who volunteers for the army or navy service doesn't expect any spe- ciai fuss to be made over him because he enlists to fight and voluntarily goes into the service because he feels that his duty calls him." said Capt. James B. Hutchinson, army recruiting officer for Alabama.
 And yet it has frequently occurred to me that it must be a little depressing to the volunteer to see the attention that is paid to the select men when they leave as contrasted with what is done for the volunteers.
 Every day groups of men from this office are being sent away to service and usually there is not a soul on hand to show interest in them outside Of those in my own office. You may be surprised to know it. but this office has sent away great many more volunteers than the total select men sent away by al the Birmingham boards put together. It may be that they attracted less at tentlon because they leave in groups of Zo oo or 70 daily instead of 600 at time, but because the groups are smaller and more frequent it would seem proper that volunteers should have some of the pub llc recognition to which man is eii- titled when willingly, gladly and of his
