cavalry Horses For The Veterans

Cavalry HORSES ToT iHe NSN
Administration by congress Is
sought in a joint resolution introduce
ed in the senate by Senator W. j..
Harris Of Georgia to provide the Con-
federate veterans at their reunion in
Atlanta from October to 10 with gov
eminent property which would enable
the veterans more appropriately to
cary out their program. SenatorHar'
ris' resolution would authorize and di-
rect the secretary Of war to permit
the use of such horses and saddle
equipment as he thinks necessary.
The use of tents and cots is also au-
thorized at the discretion of the war
department. 1t developed that Sec
rotary Baker had no authority to per-
NIT the use of the property by the
veterans when Senator Harrisg took
the matter up further with him. Thus
a Joint resolution was necessary, if the
Confederate veterans of the famous
cavalry corps are to have horses.
The usual procedure in that case is
for the mayor to give bond for the
property which is used in the name
of the city, and this has been provid-
ed for in the resolution OF Senator
Harris.

Hard on white Waists.

The coal mine labor troubles now

Nobody would deny justice to the

Farmers 10 witness Fleht On WeevII


Macon.-To see for themselves
whether or not the boil weevil can
be exterminated economically, a par
ty of Bibb county farmers, headed by
w. G. Middlebrooks, county farm dem
onstrator, will go to Cordele, Valdos-
ia, Moultrie, Albany and Americas. AT
Cordele the party will witness the
land clearing demonstration to be
staged there, and will go from there
to Vadosta to witness the expert
ments in exterminating the boil wee
vii by poisoning him. There is much
difference of opinion as to whether
the expense of fighting the pest JUS
titles the means, and the Valdosta
demonstration will give the farmers
good chance to see for themselves
just what system the experts have
worked out.

The New RELIGIOUS Rivalry
The sects are competing. And everybody
by DIX. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. by Frank cranes

The Sects are competing. And everybody
is pleased.
They always have competed, and the
rivalry was not always cdifying. In time
past they have contended with the sword.
Catholics slew Professionals in Spain, and
Protestants slew Catholics in Ireland. The
ancient Jews were not tolerant with Cen
tiles, and the modern Gentiles have perse-
cuted Jews. Less bloody but quite as
acrimonious contentious ragged among the
religious denominations in the last century.
Baptists and Anabaptists disputed over
water; Universalsts and Evangelicals over
fire. From the corner grocery, where
Ephraim Tut was known as the best long
distance debater in the settlement, TO the
pchary councils, where high dignitaries
hurled anathemas at heretics, the war went
merrily on.
Then il stopped, seemed to die down with
the end Of the century Nothing was set
tied, neither side whipped, they just ap-
peared TO run out Of breath.
Now it's on again. The War brought it
on. They are vying again.
! But il is wholesome, welcome construc-
tive, and altogether 9od-blessed rivalry
now.
Because il Is not clash of arguments
and invectives. but rivalry in good works.
The Evangelical bodies, thru the Y. M.
C. A., followed the soldiers with coffee,
.cigarets, and chewing gum. The Salvation
Army came also with doughnuts. The
Roman Catholics enter the field of helpful
ness with vigor, as the Knights Of Colum-
bus. And the Jews were not TO be outdone.
In this strife there il no bitterness. Each
group cheers on the other. Ancient ami
mosities are forgotten.
For each is working. not for the selfish
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of their own organization
but for Humanity.
They serve not some tribal Deity, not
God of Chosen People, not some narrow
and territorial Divinity, but the God of All
the Earth.
This points the way to the Religious
Unity OF which past ages have dreamed.
For it win be a Unity Of the Spirit, which
is the bond of peace" and not the ignis
fatuus of Unity of Opinion, which is the
