CAMP GORDON
TO BE SALVAGED
IN JUNE, 1921

The salvaging of Camp Gordon
will not begin until June, 1921, ac
cording to advices received Saturday
by Congressman w. D. Upshaw. The
information came from Congressman
Upshaws offices in Washington, D.
c., where a statement was made by
Colonel Fred G. Kelland, of the gen
eral staff Of the war department, to
the effect that no active salvaging
operations would begin at the camp
until next June.
Caretakers will be placed in charge
Of the camp until that time, it is
stated, for the removal of troops to
Camp Jackson will be Inaugurated
within the next few months. An
nouncement of the transfer was made
some days ago.
Several months ago congress pass
ed a resolution authorizing the SAL
vaging of Camp Gordon and several
other similar establishments, but
through the unceasing efforts of
Senator Hoke Smith and Congress-
man Upshaw, backed by the business
interests and citizens of Atlanta, the
resolution was so modified so as to
fix June, 1921, as the time when the
salvaging operations should begin.
A few days ago the war depart
ment issued orders to the effect that
the razing of the buildings at the
camp should begin in December as
soon as the troops now quartered
there had been transferred to Camp
Jackson or some otner permanent
camp. Strong representations were
made to the department by Senator
Smith and Congressman Upshaw
who called attention to the provisions
of the congressional resolution al
lowing the camp to stand unmolest-
ed until June, 1921.
The statement from Colonel Kel-
land indicates that the department
has taken official cognizance of the
provisions of the resolution and will
modify it's orders accordingly. thus
affording further opportunity for eff
forts to make a permanent military
establishment out of Camp Gordon.

EXPRESS RATES
INCREASED 12.5
PER CENT BYI.CC.

WASHINGTON, Aug 14.-An in.
crease of 1875 per cent in express
rates was authorized by the inter-
state commerce commission
The request of the American Rail-
way Express company for increases
averaging 25.16 were found not justi-
fed by the commission with the ex-
ception that rates on milk and cream
may be equallized with those con-
temporaneously applied by the rail-
road lines between the same points
take into consideration the increase
in wages of approximately S30,O0O,-
600 year recently awarded by the
railroad labor board.
The commission held that no ade-
quate basis had been found to sup
port the request of shippers for the
exception of certain commodities
from the application of increased
rates. The commission also held that
a prescription of terminal to ter
minaP' rates to apply in the absence
of pick up and delivery service of
deductions from the published rates
where either service is not rendered,
was warranted.
The increased rates may be made
effective upon not less than one days
notice by the filing of schedules with
the commission. The express COM
pany also was authorized to file
blanket schedules making the in
creased commodity rates effective
The complete tariffs, however, must
be submitted within 80 days.

estimated unofficially, will add ap-

Showing the Efficacy Of Nonsense
Makes One Happier and Others Also

One writer tells us that every
mans life is either a dirge or a
dance or a march or triumph. We
might recast the idea by saying
that everybody is either pessimistic,
optimistic or progressive. Surely no
argument is needed to prove how the
spirit is poisoned by pessimism. Not
only does OF poison the soul, but the
mind and body as well.
The dance referred to is a system
of living falsely, called optimism. 1t
is a flighty. frivolous, devil-may-
care creed which says: "I never
worry about anything. I'm going to
enjoy life while I live, for when I
die I'll be a long time dead I'm
going to eat, drink and be merry"
The march of triumph is the most
acceptable of the three kinds of liv-
ing, for it debars pessimism and in
cludes optimism plus progress and
common sense. But wouldn't it be
advisable to halt occasionally in the
march of triumph and indulge in a
bit of the dance? It is mighty hard
for US to constantly keep ourselves
strung up to the very highest ten
sion of discipline. Billy Sunday once
said that God must have believed in
