SAL WALTON ARMY
MAKING ANNUAL
APPEAL FOR FUNDS
Committees Will Come To Mari
eta In Drive the First Week
In Next Month.

The annual appeal of the Saliva
ton Army for yearly expense funds
will be brought to the people of Ma
rietta during the week of April to
z, by representative of the campaign
committee of this organization in
Atlanta, headed by Preston Ark
wright, as chairman of the campaign
committee.
A committee of ladies from the
Bolton Chapter, O. E. S., headed by
Mrs. G. H. Chestnut, of Bolton, who
will be assisted by a number of pub
lie spirited Marietta women, will han
die the collections in this town.
Forty thousand dollars is to be
raised to maintain the numerous in
stitutions and activities of the Saliva
ton Army in Atlanta and surround
ing territory, including Cobb county.
4 These activities include the mainten-
ance of relief stations, housing quar-
tiers for men, emergency home for
women, "a big maternity hospital at
Greenville, S. c., where women in
distress may be sent for proper care
and attention during the period of
their confinement, and similar activ-
tiles.
The relief work of the organization
calls for the giving away annually
of thousands Of meals, nights lodg-
ings, clothing, shoes and other living
essentials to those who are complete
ly in distress. At the same time that
relief is furnished, an attempt is made
to get the individuals back on their
feet again, by securing jobs and
homes for them and in every way
giving them more hopeful outlook
on life.
Prison work is also an important
item in the Salvation Army program.
Visits are made to the federal peni-
tertiary, the county and city prisons,
WHCIG IIlc SOopCA 10 PAN~NASN' HASAi
are exhorted to live better lives and
make more useful citizens on leaving
prison, and they are also furnished
with reading matter, writing mater
ial and other little helpful attentions.
The work of the Salvation Army
became known in it's true light dur
ing the World War, when workers of
the organization did as much as any
other force to bring happiness and
cheer to the men in the trenches.
The same unselfish service is now
being carried on, but it is not so
much heard of, because the recip-
tents of aid are not in the public eye.
No work is more worthy of public
aid, and a large donation is expected
from the citizens of Marietta.

BAPTIST EDUCATORS
HOLD MEETING At
LOCUST GROVE, GA.
Denominations Secondary Educa-
tional System Is Considered
At Gathering.

Sh SuuSdbloIlal conference OIL
statewide interest was held at Locust
Grove Friday afternoon, March %,
in which many prominent Baptist
leaders of the state took part This
conference was one of series of five
to be held in different sections of the
state in the near future, in which the
problems of Baptist secondary edu-
cation will be discussed and policies
adopted to govern the denomination
secondary school system in the flu
aure, especially with a view toward
the better adjustment of the work
of these schools among themselves.
The above named conference was
held in the immediate interest of Lo-
ust Grove institute, and was we'll at
tended by representatives of the sew
eral Baptist associations in this sec
tion, and from a distance.
DR.. Rufus w. Weaver, president
of Mercer University and chancellor
Of the Mercer system of schools and
colleges, presided ovee the meeting.
Dr. B. j. W. Graham, founder of
the school, was also present and took
a prominent part in the deliberations.
DR.. John G.. Harrison, superintendent
Of denominational secondary educa-
ton in Georgia, introduced several
issues for discussion by the confer
ence, among them being the question
of changing Locust Grove institute
from a co-educational institution, to
an institution for boys only. The
conference voted that this change be
made as soon as is practicable in the
judgement of the trustees of the in
stitute. Provision will be made, how
ever, for young women who live in
Locust Grove, or who board in the
town, to attend the classes of the in
stitute as day pupils. 1t was also the
sense of the conference that Locust
Grove institute, which has for the
past twenty years made its Senior
year of work equivalent to that of
the Freshman year of the colleges,
be made Junior college as early as
possible, by the addition to its cur
riculum of another year of work of
college grade. Much stress was also
laid by the conference upon the in
creasing of the schools equipment.
Glowing tributes were paid to DR..
Claude Gray, who for the past TWEEN
ty-seven years has been president of
L. G. l., because of its phenomenal
progress under his leadership.
An outstanding feature of the con-
ference was a strong and timely adj
dress by DR.. Aquila Chamlee, presi-
dent of Bessie Tiff college, in which
he stressed the need of a larger pro
gram and more adequate support for
Baptist secondary education in the
state.

SOUTH BIDS GOODBYE
TO FALLEN FRIEND
FROM THE NORTH
Dixie Bowed in Genuine
Grief Over Death of
Harding.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 1O.-The South
today bowed farewell salute to a
gentleman of the North. Down be-
low that imaginary line of historic
fame, the Southland stood by in heigh-
tened sorrow and in silent reverence
as Warren Harding reached home
again-to stay.
That he had sprung from the other
side of that line mattered not. That
he was of political faith other than
theirs was forgotten, since the sudden.
sad word had flashed out of the West
a week ago-news that had effaccd
the harsh angles of politics and had
quickly, quietly blended the nation in
10 n world of tender remembrances
of him who had gone.
And today Dixie bowed with a gen.
uine grief and n sentiment expressed
the world over as the little town up
North" showed its sadness and lis
love in services, simple and beautiful,
over the earthly remains of neighbor.
Down through the Blue Ridge noun
tains Of Virginia and the Carolinas
and Tennessee; through the old. red
hills of Georgia and Alabama the
low verdant valleys of Mississippi and
Louisiana. the sweeping ranges of
Texas and Oklahoma. and the palm
fringed peninsula of tropical Florida
throughout all those states that
make up the land called Dixie the
grinding wheels of commerce paused.
For it was holiday-a strange,
hushed holiday-in honor of great
man who was not so much n Republi-
can President MS he was Il President
of the republic. Over all the South
the holiday was observed. Governors
of the various states had passed on
the proclamation of the new Presi-
dent; heads of city and town and vii
lagc governments had relayed it TO
people. From some sections delesa-
tons had gone to the little town up
North" TO be present at the bone
services. Others had sent their SEN
timents in floral offerings. But the
entire South was there in spirit.
For when the wires flash TAPS"
over all the country as Ohio lays her
native son within the dark portals OF
the tomb. the South bids Harding n
tender farewell.
