S The initial number of the Southern Literary Magazine
Ss a happy achievement and a shining omen. “A magazine

H’oetry of the South,” by Mary Brent Whiteside; the first
•Installment of a series of reproductions of Le Moyne’s rare
[paintings of early Indian life in P’lorida; and, amid a wealth
3j'-f charming verse, an illustrated poem by Henry E. Harman.

Rieorge A. Wauchope, of the University of South Carolina;
filarry Stillwell Edwards, of Macon; Mary Brent Whiteside,
g>f Atlanta; Henry Bellamann, of Ch'icora College, and

NOTES FROM TIIE NATIONAL
CONVENTION
The Rights of a Child in a
I)o moc racy
The state superintendent of Ken
tucky said. “This is the greatest
convention we have had in Louis
ville. The greatest because of what
you stand for. The nation’s stabil
ity depends upon the home. The
force that rules the home is the
child”
Formerly we thought only of the
duties of childhood. Today we un
derstand the child has rights.
First right, to he well born. Fun
damental principles of eugenics
should he taught in the home or
school, but if neglected in the home
then the school should teach them.
Crime reproduces. Disease repro
duces. Some restrictions must be
imposed. Plea for Shephard-Town

Second right: To he born into a
home. A home in which the laws
of health arc observed and the laws
of man and God arc observed.
Third: The right to a faith in a
God. Religious instruction in the
school; if nowhere else offers this
service, then the school must teach
this.
Fourth: Right to live in a decent
community. The community must be
made to contribute more for the
child. A community must he judged
by its attitude toward childhood.
Fifth: The right to a community
for which to live and die. Can he
no divided allegiances on American
soil. There is room in America for
one language, one flag, one soul and
one loyalty.
Then there are the individual
rights of childhood.
First: Play. Better to spend mon
ey on playgrounds than court-:
houses, innocent, decent, helpful
play. The country church and the '
country store are passing and there
must be some form of rural recrea
tion to take their places.
Second: Work. We must dignify
labor. It has been reserved to our
Southern mountains to resist the in
vasion of our American ideals, in
working our God's economy only the
masses count. Parents must under
stand that they hold their children
in trust for their God and for their
country.
Dr. Tigert's Address—Burden of
Woman
I)r. Tigert said that all most fath
ers know of the school is that Mary
and John are in school. He cited the
case of the Prodigal Father who,
absorbed in business, lost the con
fidence and companionship of his
own sons.
There must be a readjustment of
the three most important factors in
education, the home, the school
and the church to meet modern con
ditions. Today the family is “sel
dom seated simultaneously 11 around
the fireside. The church is also ef
fected by the motion picture and
automobile. The school does not
suffer as much- There is a great
educational renaissance hut the fu
ture of our schools is threatened by
a financial non-support. American
women can help. The old-fashioned
home will never come hack, hut
wc must make the community safe
through these associations of men,
women and children. No organiza
tion, not even the Teachers’ Asso
ciations, accomplish som uch in this
respect as the National Congress of
Mothers and P. T. A. A prominent
member of the president’s cabinet
said he had rather have the support
of this organization than any other
in the country. One hundred thou
sand schoolrooms were emptied
during the war when S6OO was the
average salary for teachers, There

are now 186,000 one-room school
houses. The average salary is less
than S9OO a year, < less than the
wages of a common laborer. We
need more taxes for better schools
in America, Where there were two
hundred thousand in high school in
1890, there are now- two million.
He described the greatest paint
ing of the age as that of Whittier's
Mather and placed another duty
upon woman. That of preserving
American ideals and institutions. He
quoted a New York governor who
recently said “Give me a hut that
is small enough, a poverty that is
deep enough, a love that is strong
enough, a God that is real enough,
and I will vouch for the character
of this state ”
How the Child Weaves the Web of
Knowledge
According to Prof. Reuben, Post
Hallock, the child weaves the yeb
of knowledge only from his own
experience. We can never pass an
idea ready made to a child. He
never farms an idea of God outside
his own experience. His idea of the
Master comes from the sheep and
the cold and the darkness. Sunday
Schools were recently called the
“obsolete,” they will never be ob
solete as long as they throw the
Good Samaritan on the screen. Gal
leries never applaud the villain.
Stable, moral, nation building
homes are always founded on re
ligion. Wc are so made that we must
love the highest when we see it.
A group of flappers were recently
asked to name their favorite hero
ine. Florence Nightengale received
the most votes. She gave them some
thing to weave their dreams around.
We must weave the every-day re
ligion of service into knowledge.
The ideal of service as exemplified
by the Master. The public schools
must develop human beings, by giv
ing them an opportunity to weave
their web of knowledge from actual
experience every day experience.

Atlanta, Ga., June 26.—The lines
are all set for convening the 1923
general assembly at 10 o’clock to
morrow morning. Practically all
the house contests and they were
merely minor, have been cleared out
of the way. \V. Cecil Neill will lie

Richard B. Russell, Jr., speaker pro

George H. Carswell, of Wilkinson,
will be elected president of the sen
ate, and while it is not announced
tonight that Senator Mundy will
withdraw from the race, the fore
cast was made in the Carswell cau
cus at 11 o’clock, when 38 sena
tors answered the Carswell roll call,

definitely announced tonight, be
made head of the senate commit
tee, which this year looms into
greatest prominence, that on appro
priations, where the money sheet
that is going to he the brunt of
hard contest will get its final sift
ing.
The feature of the Carswell cau
cus was the keynote sounded by
Steph Pace, who, referring to the
incidents in the past when legisla
tion has been deadlocked, called on
the majority of the senate, there
assembled, to pledge themselves to
harmony between the two houses,
an effort at unprecedented co-opera
tion and, in a sense the adoption of
a general working program which
will dovetail the work of the two
branches.
Atlanta, June 26. —Almost simul
taneously with the arrival in At
lanta of governor-elect flifford Wal
ker and his family, who were met
bv a large delegation of Mr. Walker s
friends, the tensity in the situation
around tlie election of president of
the senate began to break. Mr. Wal
ker s friends had takena very con
siderable interest in that race, and
some reports were circulated that
; the governor-elect himself hr.d taken
! a hand, but when the first caucus
j in connection with the situation was
held by tlie Carswell forces shortly
before noon, it developed that, with
|l2 senators not yet arrived, 24 sen
ators attended the Carswell causus.
made speeches in behalf of the Cars
well candidacy and pledges their act
ive support. In that caucus the list
of absentees was cheeked and the,
total accurately reported gave Sena-;
tor Carswell a showing of more than j
•35 out of the 50 senators who will
be eligible to vote.
Has Appreciable Effect.
When the news of the caucus
spread about the Kimball lobby there
was an appreciable effect.
Prior to the meeting the announce
ment had been made that Senator
John Phillips, of Louisville, had
withdrawn from the race ajul would
vote for Senator Mundy, but the
Phillips strength went to Carswell.
With the House main contests set
tled. and the evidence that the sen
ate situation would become clarified
and likely settled before night,
workers turned their attention to
the minor races—for doorkeeper and
messenger of the senate and the
same positions for the House, and
the afternoon was spent working on
their campaigns.
Preliminary arrangements for or
ganization of both branches have
been completed by Secretary Me*
Clatchey and Clerk E. B. Moore, and
it is anticipated now the organiza
tion work will he over by 12 o’clock,
immediately after which resolutions
will be adopted in both branches
providing for a joint committee to
notify Governor Hardwick the as
sembly is organized and ready for
business. Arrangments will be made
with that committee by the governor
for a joint session Friday, when the
final message of the retiring gover
nor will be delivered. While it is
not probably any further business
will be transacted the first day, it is
known efforts will he made to in
troduce two or three resolutions;
one of which will hear on the high
way department, another seeking to
fix July 4th as a special day for me
morial exercises to the late Thomas
E. Watson, both of which will come
in the House.
Must Declare Results.
Thursday the law’ provides that the
election returns of the last general
election he canvassed by the legisla
ture and the results declared, the
probability being there will he no
business thereafter. Prior to the
meeting for that purpq.se, though, ef
forts will be made to get in a num
ber of early bills in both houses,
and more than a dozen members
have signified their intention of try.
ing to get “No. 1“ on each calendar.
One of the most important pieces
of preliminary business will be the
suggestion by Speaker Neill to the
House that, in order to expedite busi
ness from the beginning, the House
provide that its rules committee he
constituted an actual steering com
mittee for the purpose of arranging

DEMONSTRATION OF FLORIDA PLAN OF BOLL
WEEVIL CONTROL IN GRIFFIN, JULY 4TH
Farmers and agricultural workers
interested in learning all the de
tails of the Florida Plan of 801 l
Weevil Control, which has attract
ed wide attention throughout the
cotton belt will have an opportunity
of hearing the originator of the
plan, Dr. Geo. D. Smith, of Gaines
ville, Fla., on July 4th. He will de
liver a talk explaining the method
and conduct an actual demonstra
tion at the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion, on that date. The Florida Sta
tion with which he is officially con
nected as Associate Entomologist
has consented to lend him to Geor
gia for this date with the warning
that this is the last time this year
he can be spared from his work.
This arrangement affords a splen
did opportunity for all interested in
weevil control to thoroughly under
stand this method which is being
advancing the more important gene
ral legislalion, these calendars to be
upon approval of the house. Nomi
nally the rules committee is always
the steering committee, but in the
early stages of the session there has
not customarily been much attention
paid to the order and arrangement
of the daily calendar, except by num
erical sequences of the hills. Under
Speaker Neill’s plan, in which he has
the full co-operation of Vice-chair
man Millner, it will be possible for
the house as a whole to work very
closely behind the various commit
tees on all the important general
bills and prevent big legislation get
ting pushed back and choked into
the heel of the session, provided the
committee advance them without un
necessary delay.
To Cooperate With Administration.
Asa general proposition the plans
for organization of both branches
are more in line of facilitating move
ment than has ever before been
seen - or at least in very many years
—and the outspoken intention of the
leaders is to co-operate with the ad
ministration in all its proposed con
structive legislation.
The plan* for Governor-elect Wal
ker's inauguration were not known
early this afternoon, the statement
being made by some of his close
friends that this work will likely be
left until the legislature names a
joint committee on inauguration,
which probably will be done early
after organization tomorrow. The
purpose seems to be that the Gover
nor's own committee and the legis
lataive joint committee then will get
together and work out the inaugu
ration details. The exercises will be
either in the House or on the Capitol
grounds.
Atlanta, Ga., June 26.—Something
of a flareback to a part of Gov
ernor Hardwick’s final message to
the legislature has occurred even
before the Governor has had op
portunity to deliver the message,
through the premature publication
of part of its substance by a local
afternoon newspaper.
The thunderclap in the governor’s
message was intended to be his at
tack upon the state department of
agriculture and his recommenda
tions that the railroad commission
be hewed down to three members
and the prison commission lie abol
ished entirely.
The biggest support for his call
on the legislature to get into the
department of agriculture and trim
that department down is in the
form of an extensive letter from
the Florida commissioner saying
that three oil inspectors do the
work in that state, and the claim
that the Georgia department ought
to he disrupted because the gover-

nor says, it is a political machine.
Not Familiar With Laws
Now comes the announcement
that, when Commissioner Mcßae, of
Florida, wrote Governor Hardwick
the letter which he quotes, Mr. Mc-
Rae was not familiar with the Geor
gia laws and did not know the re
quirements in this state, therefore,
he has written a subsequent letter
to Commissioner J. J. Brown which
takes all the sap out of the letter
to Governor Hardwick.
In a similar effective way. Com
missioner Brown makes public a
letter from Commissioner Harris, of
South Carolina—another of the
states which Governor Hardwick
used as a comparative illustration —
in which the Carolina commissioner
says the system worked in Georgia
is better than that in South Caro
lina and would be an improvement
on the Carolina system.
Governor Hardwick’s letter from
the Florida commissioner takes up
the matter of the distillation test
of gasoline in lieu of the gravity
test, and urges the former be
adopted in this state. The letter
which Mr. Brown has made public,
from Mr. Mcßae, and of a subse
quent date to the letter used by
Governor Hardwick, follows:
“Answering your inquiry, this is
to advise that I estimated that we
inspect one-tenth of the oil tank
cars shipped into Florida. There is
no move being made in this state
to have local oil inspectors. If, how
ever, each and every car of oil ship
ped in was inspected, the number
of oil inspectors would be greatly
increased.”
The following letter from the
commissioner of South Carolina also
was made public by Commissioner
Brown:
Greater Protection
“Replying to your question will
say that I know that a system of
local oil inspectors, one in each
town where an oil tank is located,
would unquestionably give the peo
ple greater protection and render
f'HANBERLAINC

the oil inspection service more ef
ficient than a system which pro
vides only a few traveling oil in
spectors covering the state. Of
course it is understood that all of
the local inspectors be under the
supervision of a chief inspector who
would frequently visit all towns
where tanks were located, and keep
a close check on all work done by
the inspectors. In addition to the
test made by the local inspector, I
believe that if a sample were drawn
and forwarded to your laboratory to
be analyzed according to a standard
it would enable the laboratory and
chief inspector to maintain a closer
check upon the work done by the
local inspector; that is in checking
the specific gravity test.”
In the same connection, and in
reply to the position taken by Gov
ernor Hardwick that the army and
navy or distillation test of gasoline
should be made, and in connection
with the letters quoted, Commis
sioner Brown has given out a state
ment in which he says:
“This department has favored a
distillation test of gasoline for four
years, and has recommended to the
agricultural committees of the gen
eral assembly that the djstillation
test be added to tl\e present tests,
in order to that much better protect
the people of Georgia against low
grade or dangerous oil and gas.
With the distillation test added to
our present inspection system wc
would have the very best oil in
spection in the United Stales, but
it would defeat the very object of
the inspection law if local inspec
tors were done away with.”
