WE ARE BUILDING A CITY HERE Volume XXXVII. Number 32. MOSQUITOES CAN BE DESTROYED All Vessels That Contain Water Should be Removed And Lime Scattered Under Houses A The mosquito nuisance can be easi ' ly abated by taking the proper pre¬ cautions. Remove all tin cans, bot¬ tles, broken vessels, or anything that contains water and they will not. have a breeding place left. This'is what everybody should do right now in order that the pests will be des¬ troyed. The following rules have been adopted at Memphis, Tenn., and should be observed in every town and village and country home as the mos quito often causes illness which can easily be prevented. Leave nothing in your yard that can catch and hold rain water. Inspect your yard once each week to see that no exposed water con¬ tainers are present. If for any reason you must have water on your premises, exposed to* mosquitoes, then treat its surface once a week with a small quantity of kerosene or oil, or keep several min¬ nows alive in the water. Get your neighbors to control mos quito breeding in their back yards. I Learn how to find mosquito breed¬ ing places, how not to miss seeing them and send to your State Board of health for free literature on mos¬ quito control.

SCHEDULE CHANGE IS DISFAVORED i With the proposed change in the schedule of the Perry brach division of the Central of/Georgia railroad, assigned for a hearing before the Georgia Public Service Commission at session August 11th, it is under stood that there will be a great deal of opposition, especially along the in¬ termediate points where passenger and express shipments are handled. Wholesale houses and individual parties in Fort Valley are bitterly op¬ posed to the change in schedule as the proposed change it is understood, will place the departure of the morn¬ ing train from Fort Valley at 9 o’¬ clock, arriving in Perry at 9:40 (which will be 10:40 a. m. Perry’s time, E. T.). On its return trip will arrive at j Fort Valley to make connections with No. 8 out of Albany. This matter is to be brought up at 1 the regular weekly meeting of the Perry Civitan club in Perry Thurs day night, as reported by the presi dent, Col. S. A. Dunn, and efforts are to be taken in a co-operative way to defeat the change in the schedule, The people of Perry are strictly against this issue and a hard fight is expected when the matter is to be heard before the Georgia Public Service Commission August 11th. tribune Read by thousands of people in progressive PEACH, Houston, Macon and Crawford Counties, where Nature smiles her brightest.

CARRY WELL Mr. Julius Glass shipped by express a crate of peaches to a kinsman in Los Angeles, California, the crate leaving here on Thursday and was delivered the next Wednesday, hav¬ ing been delayed one day on account of having the wrong address. Mr. Glass says the peaches arrived in fine shape, only four out of the crate being decayed, which proves that Georgia peaches will ship any where. This fruit was grown by B. R. Marshall and presented to Mr. Glass to ship as a test of the carrying qualities.

L. Luce refers to The Leader Tribune a very interesting booklet which tells of the o ganization and plans of the University of China, chartered under the Laws of the state of Tennessee, which has been the scene of the recent sensational evolution case. The secretary of this university, Chas. W. Rankin, has had some try¬ ing experiences in China. He was are attorney of Memphis, Tenn., and felt a call to the mission field. He was sent in 1912 to the largest Methodist university in the Orient, the Soochow University, where he had charge of the Law department for a number of years. He finally made an emphatic Protestant missions of China and * protest against “Modernism” in the was so outspoken about it that he was dismissed. He has a large num¬ ber of supporters in this country how¬ ever, and this new school, the Uni¬ versity of China, is the result of his able efforts, “to take to China the old-time religion of Jesus Christ.” He is now returning to China to estab¬ lish the university. There is much significance in the university’s “char¬ ter doctrinal standards,” as follows: In all of the “several schools or agencies of the university the instruction given shall always be required to be strictly in accord with and in conformity to the following prin¬ ciples of the Christian faith, viz: “1. The supernatural inspiration and thorough trustworthiness of the Holy Scrip¬ tures. “2. That there is but one God, everlasting^ of infinite power, wisdom and goodness, the Maker and Preserver of all things, and that in unity of this Godhead, there are three persons of one substance, po\yer, and eterni» ty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. “3. The Personality, Sovereignty and providence of God the Father. “4. The pre-existent Deity of Jesus Christ; His Virgin Birth; His sacrificial, substitu¬ tionary, atonement through His death for the sins of the whole world; His Bodily Resurrection from the dead; His ascension into heaven*; and His second coming. “6. The personality, Deity, and work of the Holy Spirit. “6. That man was created in the image of God. “7. The doctrine of the race’s fall in Adam, and redemption in Christ. “8. The universal necessity of regenera tion. “9. The doctrines of Justification by faith,, a conscious salvation and a Holy life. “10. The doctrines of the General Judg¬ ment ; of the resurrection of the body with everlasting life for believers; and of ever¬ lasting punishment for unbelievers who have had opportunity to hear the Gospel,—God dealing justly, according to His infinite wis¬ mercy and love, with those who have never had opportunity to hear the message His Word.” The by-laws of the University of' China (Charter, University of China, pp. 1-2) that directors and instructors before upon their duties, and annually shall subscribe to belief in the Charter Doctrinal Standards.
