Editor Dispatch:
Not so long ago ! remember to have
read an editorial in your paper in
reference to a better fellow feeling
between town and country, that some
thing should be done to create a COM
lmunity interest between the two.
1t was a timely suggestion and
should be headed by both the town and
country. Looking to this end, one
feels that nothing could contribute
more as starting point than a good
all-day soul string singing; invite
the leaders and their classes to our
town, spread an old fashion basket
dinner on the campus Of the High
school and give them a royal welcome
to our city. The first Baptist Church
is ready and willing to tender the
use of their house and give over the
entire day for a great song service,
the End Sunday in September. One
other pastor has signifed his willing
ness to call off his services for that
day, and join in helping to make the
day success. Now, if the other
pastors will do likewise we will GER
tainly have great day. Have twelve
or fourteen of the best leaders in
music from this county and over in
Alabama, who have agreed to come
on the above date. Now, men and
women of Columbus, the way you
take hold of this matter will show
how you really feel about it, and
what you do, or fail to do will speak
so loud to our country people that
they cannot hear what you say.
This is not Sunday picnic, as some
will want to call it, but a religious
service, for singing is a part of wor-
ship and very large part at that.
We have promises from some leaders
to bring some of the old books and
sing few selections that will take
us back to our childhood days. The
songs our mothers sang in the old
country church. Don't you want to
hear them? know there has been
two or three spasmodic efforts to
have singing here but for some
cause or other they failed; This effort,
with your cooperation, will not fail,

many years, and one Of the foremost
publishers in the state.
Mr.. Maer died suddenly yesterday
while seated at his desk in the Dis
patch office. Heart failure was as
signed as the cause.
There were few writers in the state
more fluent than Percy Macr. He
was a thoroughly trained newspaper
worker, man of attractive personal
ity, and had welded great influence in
that section of the state for the past
two decades.
Mr.. Maer served during the Varda-
man administration as member of the
lower house Of the legislature from
Lowndes county. In 1914 he was APP
pointed Collector of Customs for the
port at Mobile and served four years
in that office. He was 81 years Of
age.

THE FIRST BAPTIST SOCIAL.

A church social has its spiritual re-

revival, though its methods of attain

nature through his material pleasures.
The church social, held at the First
Baptist Church last Friday evening,
which had been so eagerly looked for

given the church workers so much
pleasure in the planning, was in every
way the delightful success anticipated.

MADE HIT WITH RECITATION
Princes Speech Consisted OF Verses
From the Koran, but Audience
Didn't Know II.

II Is interesting TO recall that dur
Ing the recent European tour of Prince
Feisal Of the new kingdom of Syria,
his memory of the Koranic verses
stood him in good stead In London,
at dinner In the GuiIdhall, the prince,
who was the guest Of honor, and who
knew little French and less English,
was called upon to reply to the toast
of his health. Beside him sat his
friend and mentor, Colonel Lawrence,
Oxford professor and oriental scholar
to whom he whispered as he rose to
acknowledge the lord mayors speech.
Colonel Lawrence nodded his assent,
and the prince addressed his audi
ence In flowing Arabic periods. win
ming appreciation and applause.
When the guest Of honor had re-
sumed his seat, Colonel Lawrence, as
his interpreter, rose to express In Eng
llsh the princes sentiments of graft
tude for his reception. and to voice
his devotion to the principles of democ-
I.racy and allied solidarity. II was
not until many days had gone by
that Colonel Lawrence allowed 1t to be
known among his friends that what
the prince had whispered to him was:
"rll reclte the verses from the
Koran about the cow"
Thus did the diplomatic professor
deceive the unwilling ears of his Guild
hall friends.-Munsey's Magazine.

A GOOD MOVEM EMIT.

During all these years the people of
Columbus have from time to time en-
joyed the bountiful and generous hos
pitality of the people of the country at
singings and picnic occasions.
Now, Columbus is going to show
her appreciation of these courtesies
and all Of the people Of this entire
section will be invited to attend a big
All-Day singing and dinner on the
ground occasion in this city the second
Sunday in September.
1t is a good movement and fine
thing. 1t will tend to promote bet
ter feeling between the people of the
city and country, bring them closer
together in a relationship of mutual
helpfulness and understanding.
Columbus is dependent upon the
people and the fruits of their labors
in her contiguous territory, and any
movement which has as its purpose
the development of broader and
more liberal community and co-opera-
tive spirit, is step in the direction
of the attainment of peace and pro-
gress and happiness and content
ment for all.
The big singing which is being plan
ned is good thing Columbus ex-
tends most hearty and cordial invita-
ton to all of the people Of this entire
section to come and partake of her
hospitality and the spiritual joys that
attend these occasions.

Country's Motive Energy.

The gauge of nations industrial
might is the amount of motive energy
which Il can command for the mani
fold fields of production and the es-
sential contributory activities. We
have maintained our supremacy In
manufactured output very largely be-
cause OF the vast amount of power
which we could Gull into service, Rob
ert G. Skerrett wrote In the Scientific
American. Modern nations expend
far more energy than the combined
muscular ability Of their population
and beasts of burden. The margin Is
covered by the employment of me-
chanlcal energy in the form of power.
To accomplish the work done annually
IN the United States, would require
the labor of 3,0O0,O00O00 Woodworking
slaves. The use Of power gives to
each man. woman and child In this
country the service equivalent of thlr-
~ servants.
