so much, for he might find a friend
who would help him out of that pre-
dicament, but finding friend in con-
ference under.the circumstances was
different matter. And so the Judge
didn't breathe a word of it.
What made it worse, Parson Clay
stated, was the fact that conference
was now in session, and he was due
to be there Saturday certainly not
later than Sunday. He said that he
was pastor of Rebecca church, in
Dooly county, and was on his way
there when Satan appeared in the
form of bottle of freshly made corn
liquor. The parson was arrested, in
company with Mitchell Daniel, Jr.,
gray haired negro, said to. be one of
his deacons, near Leslie. Both had
been drinking heavily. They were
brought to Americas by S. L. Cox,
bailiff. Deacon Daniel was given the
same fine as the parsOn. Both spent
last night in the county jail.
Inasmuch as neither could tell any
thing about the person from whom
they bought the liquor, the officers
were of the opinion that they may
have had some knowledge of its
origin themselves.

ed to him yesterday by John D. Ma
TINS Post No. 2, Americus Legion,

copy of the letter:
Hon. W. j. Harris, Washington,
D. C.
Dear Sir:-Members of the local
post of the American Legion are very
much gratified to learn that the ways
and means committee of the house
have made favorable report on the
measure to compensate former serv-
ice men.
"If one will but reflect for a few
moments he will readily see that the
men who sacrificed their profession
or business and rendered their serv-
ices to their government are entitled
to all that the American Legion is
asking.
"Inasmuch as those members of
congress who left their posts to en-
ter the various branches of war ac-
lively, received their regular COM
pens~tion from their vacated post in
addition to whatever pay they may
have received from the particular
branch which they happened to serve,
we think it only right that the in
dividual who left his profession or
business, which in turn was absorbed
by those who stayed at home, and
who received while in the service
the paltry sum of only thirty dol
lars per month, should receive a rea-
sonable compensation for his loss of
time and money.
"We wish to call your attention to
what our Allied belligerents have
done for their service men. Can the
United States afford to do less? The
former service man is not asking for
remuneration for his patriotic serv-
ice but he is asking for an adjust
ment of an economic condition that
he is facing because of the war. The
fulfillment by congress Of the Le-
gion program will mean much to him.
"Can we depend on you to give
this measure your hearty support and
in the mean time will you not favor
us with an expression of your posi-
tion on this matter? Sincerely
yours,

Supervised Scrappins.

Il has BEEN discovered that In one Of the
Chicago public schools the principal has been
allowing pupils to settle their disputes with
their lists under her supervision. The battles
have been staged In the basement Of the school.
The practice rsachedethe notice Of the public
when the mother Of 4 pupil who had been
CLEANED" BY classmate aled charges with the
board, Of education asking dismissal Of the
principal. 1t develops that children of % ma
tonalities mingle at this one school. Tho case
has not yet been heard by the board. nor has
the principal presented her defense.
There are few of Itoday's MEN who were
school boys who can't recall one or more fights
they were mixed in. Self preservation Is the
nrst law Of nature. 1t seems as natural for
boy to fight as it does for a duck to swim.
OF course when he grows older he realizes that
1t was silly for him and his schoolmate to have
gone to it in the alley on the way homo from
school, and today they would not think Of re-
sorting to nsticuffs to settle dispute They
might indulge an argument. but their differ
ence would go no further.
The school boy who won't fight when he
has been bullied by another is marked by the
gang as a coward. And no red blooded young
ster wants to be known as coward. So he
! must fight it out and prove at least that he is
not afraid to take his medicine. II he wins
his fight he is looked up to by his comrades.
; whereas If he loses he will not be disgraced
| for the good reason that he was vanquisbed
by one Of superior strength.
is likely that the Chicago school principal
had been hearing of daily fights between her
| pupils outside OF school and that she reached
the conclusion that il they were determined to
hight, and that they could settle their differ
ences in NO other way than by squared circle
tactics, she would be doing no more than her
duty in seeing that the battles were carried
through according to accepted rules of pugil-
! istic warfare. The principal saw, perhaps,
that she could not prevent these clashes be-
tween her pupils and That it would be better
for the school and for the antagonists chat
| they 30 to it in the basement Of the school
than In public street. In the street there is
no supervision. A whole neighborhood is likely
to become involved, with broken bones result
ing. whereas under auspices such as provided
BY the school principal the scrappsrs would be
permitted to 30 only SO far ~ she elected they
should 30. Most people will agree that the
teacher, under all the circumstances, has been
handling an ugly situation in humane way.

SYLVIA.


Perhaps the most poetic Of all
feminine names is Sylvia. Its orr
gin dates back to NEUROLOGICAL
times when there was deity call
ed Sylvanus. name derived from
sylvia, meaning wood, or forest.
Sylvanus was the protector Of hus-
bandmen and their crops. He was
generally portrayed as an old man
with a cypress tree in. hts hand.
Just before the Christian era. Syl-
vanus became a Roman proper
name and indirectly from it ID de-
rived the masculine Silvius, through
the old legend of the son Of Aeneas
and Lavinia, born in a wood, and
hence called Aeneas Silvius.
Silvius was the name given to a
member Of the Piccolonnini family,
who afterward became pope. Syl-
vius and Sylvia became the favor
ite masculine and feminine names
of the era and were specially ap-
piled to shepherds and shepherd
esses, Sylvia's translation being
living in the wood" From Its
popularity in the time Of pastoral
romance, Sylvia became q poetical
name for a country maid and has
been much used In England as a
village Christian name. Some be-
lieve it to have been bestowed by
q fahciful Lady Bountiful and its
use thus given vogue.
Certainly the poets loved to write
odes and sonpets and roundelays
