JERUSALEM POST
FOR GEORGECOBB
Americus Man Made u.
S, Vice Counsul OF
Ancient City

News has been received bere by
Capt. and Mrs. John A. Cobb of the
appointment of their son, George
Calhoun Cobb, to the post of U. S.
vice consul at Jerusalem, Palestine.
Mr.. Cobb will sail for New York on
Wednesday of this week for Mar
,seilles, from which point he will pro-
ceed by steamer through the Medi
terranean seat to Beirut, going by
rail from that port to Jerusalem.
The new Appointment, besides be-
ing highly desirable, is regarded as
a distinctly complimentary promo
ton. 1t will be desirable because
of the fact that, besides being in
land teeming in historical interest, it
is in the beart of a new activity, and
has large British colony, being un-
der British military rule at the pres
ent. 1t is a city of 10000 people and
is taking on decidedly modern fea-
lures as a result of the British oc-
>cupation and also the Zionist move
ment, which is bringing in notable
Jews and Jewish money for redeem
ing Palestine for the Jews from all
over the world. 1t is only a few
hours ride by rail from Egypt and
other places of high interest to the
student of history and travel and it
is visited by large number Of Ameri-
can tourists annually.
Mr.. Cobb joined the consular serv-
ice only little over two years ago
and no tlong ago returned from the
Portuguese Azores islands, which was
his first post as vice consul. Recent
ly he stood an examination in Wash
ington for promotion, and received
the present appointment before the
result of this examination was an
nounced.

WHIPPED PASTOR
STILL In MIAMI
Found At Office In His
Negro Church, De-
spite Order

MIAMI, Fla, July 18.-Rev. Philip
S. Irwin, white, who is a British
subject, and pastor of an Episcopal
church in the negro quarter of this
city, was found in the office of his
church today attending to his du-
ties, though suffering from injuries
sustained last night when eight un-
identified masked men took him to
the woods, stripped and whipped him
and applied tar and feathers.
The police say Irwin refused to
answer to direct questioning whether
he had advocated race equality.
Certain doctrines of uplift to the
negroes delivered by Archdeacon Ir-
win, Objectionable to white resi-
dents, are said to have been the rea-
son for the deed.
Before being tarred and feathered
Irwin was carried into some woods
near Miami, where he was stripped,
tied to a tree and whipped. The group
of masked men outlined their pto-
gram to him before it was executed
and then gave him weight hours
within which to leave Miami.

ASSEMBLY ACTS
w. & A. Funding Plan
Drawn By Secretary
OF State
Tin1es-Recorder Bureau,
Kimball House.

ATLANTA, July 18.-Governor
Thomas w. Hardwick will have one
of his floorleaders in the house Tues
day or Wednesday to introduce
measure designed to put in effect
the McLendon Western and Atlantic
funding plan, Secretary of State S.
Guyton McLendon having completed
drafting the bill and placing it in the
hands of the chief executive this
morning.
For the past few months, the
scheme of Secretary McLendon has
been regarded as the best method of
securing immediate relief of the
states serious financial condition.
Several bills proposing to put the
plan in effect have already been in
troduced in the house, but they are
said to be replete with flaws and un-
atisfactory to the governor and the
way and means subcommittee of the
lower branch.
If my measure is enacted within
the next ten days" stated Mr.. Nc
Lendon this morning, Confederate
veterans will be paid their back pfn-
sions by August l, the IMMEDIATE
problems of the treasury will be Soiv-
ed.
II have suggested to the governor
that he have the measure introduced
at once, or have the subcommittee
offer it as a substitute to one of the
, measures already presented. If
quick action is shown by the leaders,
| the bill can be enacted at the Satur-
day session of the senator after pass
ing the house earlier in the week.
Several days ago the governor
asked me If | had drafted a measure
to put my suggestion in effect. He
had just held conference with men,
bers of the ways and means COM
! mittee. ! told him that had not, as
| had not considered it proper on my
part to be SO. forward in attempting
to, have my plan enacted. Since the
| request was made, however, the bill
has been completed and / gave it tc
the chief executive this morning
To date, no opposition, to the pass
age of the McLendon measure has
been voiced in the house. Practical
| ly all of, the leaders are united in the
expression that it is the best method
of solving the problems of the treas.
ury and will urge its adoption.
General James A Thomas, of Dub
lin, commander of the United Con
federate Veterans of Georgia, has
indorsed it, and believes that if the
assembly passes it, the old soldiers
will be given relief within thirty days
/ after it becomes a law.

AND
MIST AGREE WITH HARD
INC THAT CHINA'S VOICE
SHOULD BE HEARD.

THE inclusion of China in Presi
/ dent Harding's invitations to the
aisqrmament conference is an indica
+;,p Of how important a part the
ais.nsison of Pacific and Far East
srr question is to play in the nego
tlatiCns.
As the least militaristic nations
China has but an academic interesi
in the question of d;armament.
But she has a vital interest in any
decisions that are taken which di
rsctIv or indirectly affect the future
noIicies of America, Greas Britain
and Japan in the Pacific.
If would be folly to attempt to ar
rive at these decisions without Civ
inc China a chance to state her case
That President Hrading has not
committeed this folly Is one of the
good auguries for the success Of the
GREAT venture he has undertaken.
