RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE.

During the recent revival services at
the Dawson Baptist church the Methodists
of the city did not hold Sunday night ser
vices nor their weekly prayer meeting in or
der that the members of that congregation
might attend and encourage by their pres
ence the efforts of their Baptist brethren to
awaken deeper religious spirit in the city
and save souls
1t has been many centuries-even years
since such federation was impossible. 1t
is not many centuries since Episcopalians
and Presbyterians were at each others
throats in Scotland; when the Baptists, the
Methodists, the Quakers and other sects
were prosecuted by the one which happened
to be in power in the government as Grim
inals. Even in New England the ears of
Quakers were slit if caught within the jul
risdiction of Massachusetts Bay. Rogers
Williams was banshed from that colony.
The inspiring zeal which the author wrote
into that once favorite militant church hymn,
E'There Is a Fountain Filled With Blood, y
came from his reflections as he washed the
stain of eggs from his clothes after the mis-
siles had been hurled by opponents of his
doctrine. John Bunyan, the illiterate
preacher with an inspired vision, was jailed
for his preaching.
Religion, in the last few years, has got
ten away from the pedantry of disputatlor
and pin-headed theology into the higher at
mosphere of humanity. 1t no longer argues
whether the communicate wno receives the
sacrament kneeling or sitting is the one
who is assured of eternal life while the 9th
err is as certain of eternal damnation. Re
ligfous thought has been cleared of its pa
gan idealism and reasoning. It is giving VI
its adherence to such beliefs as a literal lake
of birthstone as the final resting place o.
the souls of the unredeemed. 1t IS becom
ing broad intelligent and reasonable. Th'
amitv of the local churches demonstrate
3ba new and higher spirit of real religion.

Humorous Effect Of Wealth.
From the DeKalb New Era.

1t is interesting to note the effect of sud
den wealth on some people. When fellow
has become rich he feels that he is due more
consideration. He looks lot bigger in his
own eyes, and thinks other people ought to
know and appreciate his new Importance.
He fails to see the cold-blooded truth that
a fellow does not change just because a
cipher or two are added to his bank balance,
and if he does change it is often in the
wrong direction. If he is made of cheap
stuff he may become insolent and overbearr,,
ing. Perhaps such people have been small
characters all the time, and the possession
of wealth only furnishes the opportunity
for them to show it. An ignoramus with a
fortune is something like drunkard driv,,
ing a Ford No one knows where he may land
or how much damage he may cause to other
people while he is on the way.

The Princely Peanut.
From the Vidalia Advance.

Peanuts are bringing fine price this fall
and the farmers of those sections that plant
ed largely in this crop are making more mon
ey than those that have contended with boil
weevil infected cotton.
We understand that they are bringing
about $3.50 ton on the market, and ton
can easily be grown on an acre of land. The
cost of growing peanuts is not near as much
as the growing of cotton. and more clear
money can be made on them than on cotton,
especially when we have the boil weevil to
contend with. While we are talking about
diversity of crops let's try few acres Of
peauts to each pillow.

PLAN TOWNSFOR
SICK SOLDIERS
TO RECUPERATE
Victims of tuberculosis Due
to War, to Be Given
: Chance

Atlantic City, June 16. Special
reconstruction towns may be estab-
lished by the government in the near
future, where soldiers suffering from
tuberculosis can regain their health
and at the same time work at light
trades to fit themselves for q full
return to industrial life. said Colo
mel Estes Nichols, commandant OF
the United States Army General
Hospital No. 16 at New Haven.
Conn, in an address at the annual
meeting of the National Tuberculosis
Association to-day.
This is being considered" he
says, "as a part of Uncle Sans plan
for vocational re-educatior which,
since the armistice, has for its pur-
pose the fitting of men disabled by
the war for new occupations in civil
: life"
The idea of special communities
for these men and their families has
been advanced by Captain F. A.
Waugh of the United States Sanitary
Corps, and would be for the purpose
of bridging over the gap between
sanatorium treatment and full re-
turn to industry.
Locate in Forests
'"These towns" said Colonel Mich
OILS. might be located upon lands in
the national forests. This would
permit of the setting up of attrac-
five and healthful woodworking in

PenroSe Blames the
Wilson Pussyfootine

The United States would not have
had trouble on the Mexican border
if the Wilson administration had
been firmer in it's dealings with the
MeXiCans according to United States
Senator Penrose. The Senator when
told of the action of the Army at Ell
Paso to-day made this comment:
IF we had adopted a firm policy
toward Mexico the situation down
there would have been cleared up
long ago and we would not have had
trouble. There is no question about
it. Just remember what the Ameri-
cans did in the days when Scott and
Taylor and Grant and other soldiers
paraded through the country and
took the city of Mexico. That was
when Santa Anna was in his prime
and Mexico was a militant nation.
You can hardly blame people for not
having the same spirit in regard to
Mexico under the pussyfooting
policy of Wilson"

GERMANY PLEADS FOR

In Reply to Peace Treaty, Submitted Versailles, She
Asks For Return to Original Terms That Allies

commission to work alongside 1t.
She accepts responsibility only for
and France and agrees to maximum
payments of one hundred billion
marks, provided the other terms as
tc colonies, overseas trade and ter
ritories are accepted as she proposes.
AS to deliveries of ships, raw ma
terials and machinery, Germany cam
meet the Allied claims only in part,
largely because of decreased pro-
duction.
Germany demands that in the
economic provisions she be treated
on a basis of equality and reciproc-
ity and not in the one sided way out
lined. She agrees to freedom of traf-
fic on German rivers and within Ger
many, but always on condition that
there be no interference with Ger
man sovereignty. Similarly with the
renewal of treaties lapsed through
the war, she expects reciprocal
treatment, rather than the assump-
ton by the Allies of the right to say
what engagements are or are not to
become operative again.
Oppose EX-KaiSer's Trial
The Germans refuse to accept the
trial of the former German Emperor
or to sanction his eXtradition from
Holland. on the ground that no Ger
man subject can be brought before
foreign court without an established
law or legal basis. Similarly she cam
not agree to eXtradite other subjects

customs of war.
Instead, Germany proposes an
international court of neutralS to

life and allow the prejudicing of Ger
man interests in favor of France and

The summary makes no attempt to
criticise any statements of facts or
figures made in the reply, inasmuch
as the German delegation alone Is
responsible for them. 1t is stated that
many of them, especially as to the
eastern frontier are disputable, If not
absolutely incorrect.
