SOVIET RED FLAG IS
PUT OVER U. S. LINER
MNew York, May I.—The red flag
the soviet was hoisted over the
United States liner Reliance today
by .35 American miners who sailed
with their wives and children for
Russia to work in the mines of the
autonomous industrial conoy Kuz
bas.
A large delegation of officials
from the American soviet headquar
ters went aboard to speed the de
parting and witness the flag-rais
ing. Among them were several of
the Kuzbas chiefs who yesterday
were indicted for the second time
on grand larceny.
An interested spectator to the
ceremony from a distance was Vic
tor Berger, socialist member of con
gress from Milwaukee.
The flag of the outgoing colon
ist was nearly as large as the Pana
manian colors, which have streamed
from the stern of the Reliance since
she went under the registry of the
Isthmian republic.
All the miners and their familiei
■were well dressed and well equip
ped and had the appearance of
prosperity. Each was said to have
become an investor in Kuzbas, as a
condition to becoming a member o{
the colony.

Constantinople, May 1. —The

Syrian frontier.
The charge pointed out that

A dispatch Monday from Iran

was intended as a menace, France
refused to be intimidated and would

LIQUOR DISTILLERY
RAIDED IN JEFFERSON
The liquor “still” raided in lower;
Jefferson last Thursday was one j
of the largest ever discovered in j
this section. Sheriff D. C. Thomas, j
of Jefferson County, Mr. M. Y.
Fooshec and S. B. Hardy, IT.l T . S.
revenue officers, made the raid. The i
still was located on a little island
in the Rocky Creek Swamp, about
five miles below Wadley. When the
officers approached the still no one
was on the site but one negro who
was engaged in cutting wood. When
the negro saw the approaching of
ficers he made a dash for the
woods. Sheriff Thomas states that
they .discovered six huge wooden
vats each having a capacity of 1,000
gallons. These vats were filled with
mash or beer and the sheriff states
that it was likely that the still was
to be operated the night of the raid-
Only four gallons of whiskey were
found and the officers were of the
opinion that the outfit was anew
one, not having operated hut one
time. The huge copper still was a
factory made outfit with a 200 gal
lon daily capacity. The cap from the
still was brought to Louisville and
the other portion of the still as well
as all useful items like lumber,
sugar, sacks of hops, etc., were burn
ed on the spot. The still is said to
have been located on land owned by

LOUISVILLE, GA.. THUiISDA V, MAY 3, 1923.
MEMORIAL DAY ADDRESS
By Rev. Mallory.
Madame President, Daughters of
the Confederacy, Confederate Vete
rans, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Something like a feeling of deep
humility comes over me as 1 stand
hercthis morning, humble in the pres
once of these men of the Sixties who
have wrought so well and fought so
valiently in the days past, humble
in the fact that I, a son and nephew
of the Confederacy, should be called
upon to bring to you the message
of the hour. Were we confident
that the spirit of those brave men :
(whose names wc honor) were pres
ent today, we might take courage
and move amid their memories to j
higher ground of thought.
When I was asked to be your
speaker today, this thought crowded
into my mind. “What is Memorial
Day?” Not that I did not know, but
to pursue it to its least meaning. 1
recognized that wc of the South
come together to put wreaths of
flowers upon the graves of those I
who had gone before, and to eulogize
those left behind. But when 1 began
to study the true meaning of the
word, 1 found that Memorial has
several meanings and I shall try in a 1
small way to review some of these.;
In the first place. Memorial means
to bring to memory those things
that are past. Hence, we who were
too young to know just the hard
ships through which these men of
the Sixties passed, we arc by this
day enlightened, and by our enlight
enment made to love and cheer these
men that through those bloody and
sickening days, have been preserved
to give us the highest ideals of
Southern courage and chivalry. To
them we bow in great reverence,
and we would lay at their feet the
wreaths of flowers gathered from
the garden of our love and respect.
1 do not like the idea of recalling
all those horrible scenes that occur
red during the Civil War, for St. Paul
says. “Putting those things that are
passed behind me. I press forward.”
And yet, some of those things are
refreshing and worthy of emulating.
With comparatively few in number,
we entered that war to hold in check
the balance of the world. For it is
an historical fact that the North
drew from the outside world, and
there they were not able to overpow
er us until we had worn ourselves
out whipping them. Here in the
South by these men. the world
caught the true meaning of the word
courage, bravery and determination.
Again the world learned the true
meaning of the word conserving and
preserving all those resources left in
our hands. For he it said to the
credits of our Southern people (our
wives and our mothers doing like
wise) thatthe world had never known
such wonderful work to be accomp
lished with such small supplies as
wc had. etc. Yet, sacarifices which
we were called upon to endure, the
privations we underwent, yet so far
as 1 am able to learn( with the ex
ception of a few camp ruffians and
toughs' these men never forgot they
were gentlement.
I need not remind you of the
great number of battles through
which you passed .the hardships that
were yours, but all those you gladly
underwent because you believed the
cause for which you fought was right
and in following such men as Robert
E. Lee and Stonewall Jockson, you
dared and died because you knew
these men were men of God, and by
His leadership they made but few
mistakes.
And now, dear friends, while I am
a Southerner, born and bred, having
been horn in Jefferson county, hav
ing some of General Cheatham’s own
blood flowing through my veins, yet
will you allow' me to say that the
best thing that ever occurred was
when we, having been overpowered,
waked up to our own responsibility
and duty. Prior to the war, we
wer growing pompus and proud, with
our slaves to do our slightest wishes.
After the cause was lost, we no lon
ger rested on what others might
do for us, but we began to sec
through a glass dimly, that if we
would take our places in the world
we must arise, shake off the feeling
of despair and go forth to conquer,
not our enemies, hut ourselves. You
will recall that after the surrender
you came staggering home, you
found all in ashes and ruin; enough
to stagger the stoutest hearts. But,
into the ashes of dispair, you planted
the seed of determination to soon
see the flowers of hope put forth its
fragrance upon the balmy air, and
today, Bless God, you and your chil
dren and grandchildren are reaping
the fruit of glad frutition.
I would speak of some of those
things which the South has accomp
lished.
Ist. The world must need have
clothing. So when the Southerner
Three Boys in Their'Teens Plead
For Those in Hills of The South
Chicago, May I.—Three boys
in their ’teens, carrying in their
veins purer Anglo-Saxon blood
than many much vaunted “May
flower” descendants, stood be
fore the Chicago Rotary Club
today and asked that five mil
lion brothers and sisters and
their parents in the hills of the
south be “given their birthright
as American citizens to fulfill
their destinies to the limit of
their possibilities.”
Coming from the mountain
section of Kentucky, the three
boys told of community center
work in their own county and
made a plea for assistance in
establishing like centers in the
165 mountain counties of Ken
tucky, Virginia, West Virginia
and North Carolina and Tenn
essee.
Corbett Franklin, 16 years old,
told of the Virginia coast peo
ple, who moving westward to
ward the plains, became lost in
the mountains, settled there and
dropped out of the onward
realized that now his help had all
been freed (having been hardened
hv four years of conflict), you put
your hand to the plow and as good
true soldiers you knew that here too
you had found your place in the
world. And as the white man of the
South began to touch the Mother
Earth, she felt your carress and kiss
ed back with her best yield. So lhat,
today more clothing is made from
what the South produces than any
other material.
Again, you realized that the morals
of your people must be maintained.
So you said that we must be obe
dient unto God, and today (barring
some locations and some infringe
ments) the South is the only sec
tion of the world who observes the
Sabbath and in whose borders still
linger the highest type of that Holy
Ghost religion. Thank God for the
Southern religion.
Now let me speak of the educa
tion and improvements along that
line during these last four year. Be
fore the Civil War, as all know, there
was a great deal of illiteracy. Few'
schools and colleges, and these were
attended only by the rich and afflu
ent. Did you know that when the
war was over the South had to over
come all the obstacles and build an
entirely new' system of education.
Do you realize that today there is
inly 5.4 per cent of illiteracy among
the whites of Georgia? And the
most of this is among the mountains
of North Georgia. And you know
that four years ago there was in
Georgia more than fifty counties in
this state which did not have a four
year high school, and that now there
are only four and these have church
schools that largely supply their
needs? Oh, how we have gone for
ward along this line. And will you
allow me to say that while there is
still 5.4 per cent of illiteracy among
the whites of Gcrogia, vet I would
rather have this percentage among
people who have true American
ideals and life, than to have less il
literacy and have our people taught
those things that strike at the foun
j elation of our great civilization.
Mould you know why we have
! made such progress? It is because
! wr> of the South have always de
■ manded that these men and women
who teach in our schools must be
members of some church. No won
| der. therefore. from these <'hildren
ha\p come the highest ideals of true
citizens and patriots.
I would speak of the political sit
uation. I am, as a Southerner, truly
I glad that after the war we become
| th*’ Democratic South. The Solid
South. We believe that we should
have our ballot boxes pure, and while
j some have degraded this great privi
! lege yet wc of the Eouth have sought
i to insjill into our sons, and now our
| daughters, that the issue for which
we vote should be right and good.
This is the land of the white man’s
ballot, and if you should ever be
tempted to vary from the true path
in your ballot, remember the South
wants the highest and best on every
mans vote.
Is it any wonder that when the
great fire of War was beginning to
he fanned, that the United States be
gan to east about for a president
who could guide the ship of State
to safety, she found the man in the
South? Then when that Godless na
tion said you shall not sail the God
given ocean, and when our own wo
men, children and men were drowned
and sunk to a watery grave, when
our own United States cried out to
War, who hut a Southern born gen
tleman, a scholar and statesman,
could direct more wisely, Godly and
just, than he whom we said should
lead us. He, who having been rear
ed in a Southern Christian home,
called the nation to prayer, and into
the vortex we threw’ four million
men, and into the crux of the fight
we began to push back aerss the
Rhine, the enemy of civilization.
And who was it that at the table
of peace wrote the fourteen articles
of peace but a Southern gentleman?
And when the horrors of the World
War shall all he forgotten except
as pages of history, the name of
Woodrow' Wilson shall live forever.
Now all these things I have
brought to your minds to show you
that the old South is still doing her
part. Not anew South, for why
should we forget her place in the
world’s history', but the old South
bedecked with new ideals and ap
perations until today the world
speaks of it as the Garden Spot of
the World into whose borders the
frozen North may winter, and whose
summer skies shine like the glories
of the Heavens. With the purest
Anglo Saxon blood flowing in her
veins, her ideals of chivalry the
highest. No wonder we are here
today to memoralizc these men who
taught us how to do or die.
march of civilization. Because
of this isolation and segrega
tion from the remainder of the
country, he said, there has been
a 30 per cent drop in the popu
lation of the mountain district.
It is to avert a further de
crease he said, that boys from
the Caney Creek community
center have toured the United
States, speaking to men and wo
men, hoping to interest them in
the center work.
“There are one million poten
tial Abe Lincolns hack in the
mountain who are willing and
anxious to do as much Jjtr their
country as that other Abe, who
came from our mountains, did.”
Franklin said. “Our people arc
200 years behind civilization.”
Hale Mess'inger, an 11-year
old boy looking austere behind
horn-rimincd glasses, who stood
on the speaker’s tabic so that
he might be seen, lectured gray
haired business men on their
duties to the flag and their
country.
