Obituary.

]. G. Springer. one of our best citi-
zens, died at his home Saturday morn
ing at A o'clock, at the age of 66.
His remains were laid to rest in the
family cemetery Saturday evening,
Rev. Carmack conducting the funeral
services. He leaves a wife and ten
children to mourn his loss, FIVE OF
whom are married, four at home and
one in the army; the youngest child is
l5 years old. He has been faithful
member of the Missionary Baptist
church for twenty-six years. His life
has been one of honesty and upright
ness, always holding up for the right.
Many young men will long remembes
his good advice, and such men as he
will be sadly missed. Our hearts go
out in sympathy to the bereaved fam
lily; may each of them be made to
realize that their loss is his eternal
gain. J, B. HIGGINS

The question of the League of
Nations as called is one that will
bear the closest scrutiny, and the
exercise Of as much future-seeing
as we can command. Nations SO
closely allied in military sacra-
fees and achievements, may. in a
generation. forget the past and
see new fields of business and
ambitions. A plan of inter-na-
tionalism is a .momentous prop
osition. 1t simply means al! the
nations in the league are as indi-
vidual states in our union. If it
does not mean that, it does not
mean anything. The league is
formed by a constitution, and
when adopted binds every nation
to its terms. The majority of
nations would control on all the
questions between the states
nations. Do we want to join the
little as we'll as the big nations Of
Europe and on an equality of
power? These are a few of the
many questions asked. We are
able to take care of ourselves.
Can we afford such a partnership,
however much we might like to
help the weak, not made so by
us?

New York Letter.

In spite of wars, no Bolsbevism
and lots of other disturbances, scien-
ti6c discovery and achievement are
marching along with steady tread.
The conquest of the air" is already
assured. Mail is carried by airplane
between here and Washington every
day in half the time that the fast ex-
press train would take it, and recent
ly man flew more than two aud half
miles minute between the two cities.
Fifty men have been carried over
London in an immense bi-plane; pi-
ano was carried from London to Par
is in an ordinary flying machine;
now a Swede named Sundstedt has
his machine ready at Bayonne, N. j.,
near here for a flight across the At
lantic acean; for which, believe, a
prize of a 100000 has been offered,
Many strides have been made since
Walter Wellman's machine was burn
ed in air and several lives destroyed
on starting out on a similar trip, years
ago. 1t seems sure that the air
freight Of the lighter kind will soon
be carried, and improvements are con-
stantly being made to make flying
safer; but all the same, it's terra firma
for yours truly, for awhile yet.
The announcement is made that
wireless telephones will soon enable
US to talk twelve thousand miles, or
half way round the world. 1t is quite
sure, however that if everybody tries
to talk at once" there will be trouble,
and some selective device will have to
be made to enable one to talk to one
person at time and not to the whole
world. A wireless message as ordi-
narily sent. goes in every direction at
once, and it has been likened to the
waves made by throwing a stone into
pond Of water which makes rings
in every direction. Some progress
has been made in that line, by using
"selective" devices, in which GER
tain degree of resistance Of current
is set up which tunes the receiving
instrument to take only certain mes
sages intended for it alone. | haye
talked with one of the foremost wire-
less experts in the world, a German
who is in internment because of the
very dangerous knowledge he has of
the wireless science, and it certainly
was interesting to hear what be had
4 to say.
But the most sensational thing in
