MRS.P.C.GECC
TAKEN BY DEATH
Friends Mourn Woman
Who Helped Build
Americas

Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Coney Clegg
died this morning at o'clock at the
family residence 81 South Lee
street, after an illness extending over
several years. Mrs. Clegg was 73
years OLD. and had spent 80 long
and useful years in Americas, where
she was associated with the social,
civic and spiritual affairs of the
city.
She was a member of the First
Baptist church, having given largely
of her means and time and talent to
the upbuilding of every department.
During the period when the church
was being built, and afterwards re-
modelled, munificent contributions
were made by Mrs. Clegg for the
improvements which meant much for
the advancement of the cause.
Mrs. Clegg was the founder of the
"Home Workers." one of the most
potential aids to the Baptist church.
For several years she stood at the
head of this splendid organization
and directed its affairs with a pc
culiar skill due to her unusual ex-
,ecutive ability in handling financial
matters Under her supervision the
society grew and prospered, and 1t
was a deep regret in her last few
years that illness prevented her TAX
ing prominent part in the govern
ing affairs of the organization. She
was made honorary president of the
society, an office which she held at
the hour of her death.
Mrs. Clegg was also associated
with the Americas Hospital, having
served for a number of years as
president of the organization. Dur
ing her active years, she aided in
every way in the promotion of the
welfare. of the hospital, and it was
because Of failing health" that she
nected with the hospital. She al
ways evinced strong interest in
the affairs of the hospital, and took
great pride in the building Of the
splendid new hospital, which be-
cause of the earlier efforts of the
Representative women of Americas
has become an accomplished factor
in the good of the county and city.
Mrs. Clegg was married in. 1867
to Perry C. Clegg at the old home
in Dooly county, in the town of Co
ney, which received its name from
her brother, Charles Coney, who was
a great builder of his community.
Removing to Americas with her
husband, they became potential fac
tors in the building of this city. His

daughter, Mrs. C. w. Culpepper, in
Geneva. Fla. No details were con-
tanned in the telegram which convey
ed the sad intelligence to members
of the family residing in Americas.
Mrs. Seig had been a resident of
Americas for many years, having
come here in the first years of her
welded life, where she and her hus-
band, George w. Seig, who died sew
eral years ago, reared a large family
of boys and girls to maturity at the
old Seig home on Lee street. She
was a former resident of Macon,
having spent her girlhood in that
city, and being married there. She

Mrs. Clegg taught class of boys
in the First Baptist Sunday school,
and on the last Christmas season
at which she was permitted to be
present, she gave to each member of
her class Christmas cactus blossom
grown and forced into bloom for the
purpose of epresenting them to her
class, because, she said, it might be
the last time that she would be per-
mitted to hear their Sunday school
lessons.
Funeral services will be conducted
from the First Baptist church to-
morrow morning at 1880 o'clock,

THE CHURCH AND THE LAND.

The time has gone by when the
church seeing the social and
economic injustice, san say ut is
the providence of God, " or like
the Levite pass by on the other
side. 1t is generally recognized
that in at least two ways the
church is directly concerned in the
temporal welfare of humanity, as
well as in the spiritual.
First as q matter of duty in fol-
lowing the precepts and examples
of Jesus VINO went about doing
good. 1t is true that in all times
the church has practised philan-
thropy and charity. But we all
now know chat charity which does
not seek to find and remove the
causes which produce the distress
is unworthy of this enlightened
age: it is ulscientific and largely
not only ineffective but actually
demorahzing.
In the second place, economic
EMBELLISHMENTS impose a strain
upon the finances, physical endur-
ance and sympathy of the church
that she ought not to bear. Her
energies in large measure should
be applied to the work of build
il up mans spiritual nature.
Man does not live by bread
alone, and will not and ought not
content himself with the bare ne
cessities Of life. Civilization is a
multiplication Of mans needs as
well as of his wants. Our educa-
tional system, keeping pace with
advancing civilization, inculcates
in uhe growing generation ca
pacity for using and approaching
more than the preceding genera
tons had. To avoid disaster we
must do one Of two things. Either
curtail education, or bring our
economic and industrial order to
the level Of educational standards.
There is no effect without a
cause. When God created man,
He had already provided in the
earth, natural resources sufficient
to all his needs for all time. IL
then, there is distress and distrac-
ton among millions of people be-
cause of lack of things necessary
and good, it is due not to failure
of supply, but to breakdown in
the method and channel of APP
preparation and distribution; and
here lies the fundamental evil of
GU economic system. Violating

edy. No man S education can be
considered complete unless he has
studied and understood this great
work. OF it Tom Johnson, Mayor
of Cleveland said, "The day is not
far distant when the professional
or business man who does not UNI
derstand the philosophy of Henri
George will stand discredited III
any intelligent community. \
knowledge of this philosophy will
broaden and strengthen any man
morally and intellectually; will
make him a more public spirited
citizen, and better equip him for
the activities of business and
professional life. 1t will give him
a clearer comprehension of his
duties to his fellOwman, to the
state, and to the Great Ruler
the Universe; lifting him immeas-
urably above the plane of vanity.
sordidness, and selfishness which
now seems to be the chief end of
man.
The brotherhood of man can be
established only on a just and
social economic order, and there
can be no universal justice In hu-
man relations until our system OF
land tenure and taxation is rad
ically reformed. 1t is a delusion
to believe that lust social order
will naturally result from the re.
generation of the human heart
However perfect the material we
have to construct a building, it
will be a failure if the parts are
not all properly adjusted. Sup.
pose for instance we should place
the splendid bricks all in the at
tic or attempt to roof the house
with the flooring. TIE make a Ions
story short our bricks are in the
attic. The building is top-heayy

we do better in the construction
of new one?

1.-The 3Sth Infantry probably
made the most brilliant record of
any unit of the A. +. f. in France.
Six battle streamers and the CroiX

to the colors. 1t was in the :econd
battle of the Marine which began
on July 18th, 1913, that thi$ regi-

German divisions were unable to
dislodge the regiment from Its po-

sides to the enemies onsIGughtS
because of the French drawing.
For the wonderful work dis
played on this occasion, ii has
been called the "Rock of tn
Marne," and its regimental sym
Dol officially announced as a
BuOlder." The colors of the
3Sth regiment were decorated with
the Croix de Guerre with palm,
for their valiant and sucaessfu
resistance aaginst such heavy odds.
General Pershing in speaking OF
this action said the regiment
wrote one Of the most BRILLIANT
pages in American history" The
six battle streamers on the 3Sth
infantry regimental colOrs were
awarded for participating in the
following 1918 operations: Aisne

through the line during the great
spring drive in 1918, the engineers
found themselves in the thick Of
the fighting and laid down their
engineering tools and took up

these as we do, a divine arrange

consequences. 1t is as true of ma
tions as of individuals that what
soever a man soweth, that also

is the fruit and heavy the burden
that the nations and the church
unnecessarily carry.
