ALL. is VANITY

Three thousand years. What does it
mean?
Sleeping undisturbed as one long
dream:
Under the deserts of Egyptian sand
Hidden in a tomb unseen of man.
Awaiting the sound of the last
trumpet blow,
Calling together all nations here
below
Embalmed by process now forgot
ten and lost
And placed in a coffin of unlimited
Laid in sepulchre Theoretically
sealed,
Three thousand years later, great
secrets to reveal.
Thus Tut Ankh- Amen, a PharOh of
old,
Lay surrounded by jewels, silver and
gold.
He worshipped Phra, 'The Great
Sun Cod.
And all of Egypt moved by his word
His body was preserved from decay
OF mold,
But "Phra" The Great Sun God,
couldn't save his soul.
X X X
Saharas sands have laid in waste,
Those cities of long ago,
But great minds have got trace
And now the world shall know.
X
The truth of Tut -Ankh Amen, the
great Pharoh,
And of ancient tribes who drifted to
and fro,
From torrid deserts to milder cline,
And the fertile valley of the river
Rhine.
And on the glorious Judgment Day
When people of all nations are
called away,
When departed spirits shall return
to find
The mortal bodies they left behind
Tut Ankh- Amen's spirit may wend
it's way
To the Pyramids of Egypt seeking
that mortal clay,
Where it left it three thousand
years ago,
To learn that it rests in a museum
Where curiosity seekers go.

Invisible Partner

Did YOU ever stop to think about
what a great thing ii is TO have
an invisible partner who works
for nothing and pays for his board
and keep? If a partner likened
unto this visible was Offered to
us, wouldn't we jump at the OPP
portunity TO accept him? Then
why isn't it as valuable for us to
accept the invisible partner? The
partner of which | speak is IA little
bacteria that collects the nitrogen
from the air that is formed in the
nodules on peas, beans, clOvers and
other legumes. This nitrogen is
very costly when purchased in the
form of fertilizer and is one that
we have got to have in the soil
in available form if we produce
crops. The cheap form is by max
ing use of an abundance of legumes
on our farms. Let's not let an
opportunity pass this year OF
making some use of this little
invisible partner. He will pay us
well.

Disk the orchard thoroughly every
week or two until the peaches are
all harvested. getting as close to
the trees as possible without bruis-
ing them. This will destroy large
numbers of curclios pupating in the

fine for an orchard anyhow, as
cultivated peach trees at the South
Mississippi Experiment Station last
year made to II times the growth
of uncultivated trees receiving the
same fertilizer.

Der.
1.-THE proposed statute, after am
endments, was accepted by the AS
sembly and the council of the league
but this acceptance did not bring the
court into being. The statute was
referred to the various sovereign ma
tions, for their acceptance or rejec-
ton, by special Independent treaty
or Protocol. 1t has been signed by
AZ states, of which SO have complet-
ed their formal ratification. This
ratification by the nations is the au-
thority in virtue of which the Court
actually come into being and is now
working
1.-The court statute provides two
special electoral bodies representing
the large and the small nations
namely, the council and the assembly
of the League of Nations. When these
bodies proceed to the election of judi
ges for the court, they sit and act, not
as the League, but as the electoral
agencies for the nations. On Septem-
Der 16, 1921, eleven judges and four
deputy JUICES were thus elected.
'The court met January 80, 1922 at
The Hague for it's forst extraordinary
session for purposes Of organization
and formulation of the Rules under
which it would work. On June Is,
1922 it met for it's first regular ses-
sion and began it's work in the judi
cial settlement of International dis
putes.
"The court has already rendered
during the year and a half of it's ex-
ions and decisions. Several cases
are still pending.
"It has, for instance, rendered an
opinion concerning the rights of Ger
man settlers in Poland who had been
dispossessed of their land by Po-
1ish law of July ID, 1920. Germany
contended that their titles, valid be-
fore the war, were still valid by rea-
son of the treaties signed by Poland
regarding the rights of minorities
The opinion of the court sustained
the German contention.
"It has also settled the important
suit of France, Great Britain, Italy
and Japan versus Germany, estab-
fishing the rights of the nations I'M
der the Versailles Treaty to use the
Kiel Canal in transporting munitions
under specified conditions Germany
maIlntined that they had no such
right.

highly irritating questions on gener-
al principles of right and law is vast
ly superior to settlement by force
or threats of force, or on the more

WaShingtOn.-Five presidents oil
the United States have specifically
advocated an International Court OF
Justice, according to the commission
on international justice and good will
of the Federal Council of Churches

In carefully prepared paper is

that the Permanent Court of Inter

ideas and activities.
In making the material public it
was stated that 1t was submitted to
leaders of both political parties and
to authorities on international law to
pass upon its accuracy. The state
ment is being sent to 100000 pastors
throughout the country for use in
connection with World Court Week,
which will be observed by the church
es beginning Monday Nov. 5, and end

State, Hay and Root, instructed the
United States delegates to the Hague
conferences of 1899 and 1907 to work

outbreak of the war in 1914 caused it's
postponement

PHYSICIAN JAILED;
STATUTORY CHARGE
BASELESS, He SAYS

DR.. J. A. Combs, a well-known
physician of Locust Grove, Ga, was
brought to the Fulton county tower
Wednesday after his arrest Tuesday
afternoon on a warrant charging a
statutory offense, sworn to by T. b.
Smith, station agent at Locust
Grove.
In his cell at the tower, DR.. Combs
emphatically denied that he had ask
ed to be brought to the Fulton Jail
because he feared an attempt on his
life by Mr.. Smith. He said he asked
the sheriff's officer who arrested him
to bring him into Atlanta because he
understood the Jail at NGcDonough
was mot fit for a white man to
stay in
He also denied that Mr.. Smith had
threatened his life Tuesday after
noon. He said that about l o'clock
he went to the station to catch a
train on his way to see patient a
few miles down the road.
Mr.. Smith approached him, he
said, and told him not to board the
train. Mr.. Smith then went in the
depot, he said, and L. H. Pursley,
an employee at the depot, told DR..
Combs that he had better go away
because Smith has gone for shot
gun"
II then went to my home" DR..
Combs said, land it was there that
the sheriffs deputy served the war
rant. l asked the deputy the con-
dition of the Henry county JAIL and
he told me it was mot fit Cor white
man to live in," and l asked to be
brought to Fulton county, simply
because 1 wanted a decent place ia
stay. Any report to the effect that
I was afraid to stay in Locust Grove
is a lie.
81 am unable to understand the
charge against me. 1t is either part
of an attempt by Smith to bIackmaiI
me, or is the outgrowth of small
| town gossip that may have led him
to a misunderstanding regarding my
relations with his wife.
81 have been her physician, al
though I have not been called on to
attend her in two years. My rela-
tons with her have always been of
the most sacred and proper nature
the relations of a doctor with his pa
tent. The kindest thing 1 can say
of these charges is that they are the
result of some wild apprehension.
