BIBLE TAX NOT FAVORABLE Atlanta, Ga.—Rev. W. J. Ham, pcstor of the Baptist Tabernacle, has created quite a disturbance over the adoption of a new tax revenue bill by the Georgia Senate which places a tax on Bibles. Mr. Ham declares that the bill is reeking with pro-germanism and pro- Austrianlspi; and that it seeks to curb the sale of the most enlightened force in the world. He declared that such action on the part of the State of Georgia will be a blot upon the state and that such a law would not be pass ed in heathen China or aesthetic Ja pan. The portion of the bill referring to the Bible places a tax of $200 on every peddler of bibles, stoves, pic tures, clocks, picture frames and sim ilar articles. who are actually enjoying the smokes: How can I ever thank you?

COME AND HEAR HIM URGE CROWD SEE NEGROES LEAVE CHEERFUL SPIRIT DOMINANT AMONG DRAFTED MEN—SOL ID COACH FULL FROM DOOLY. A large crowd witnessed the depart ure of the contingent of negro select men who were entrained here Monday morning at 9 o'clock for Camp Wheel ed. Of the 81 men who composed the movement, none gave any very pro nounced evidence of regret at being marshalled into the great force that is being mobilized for the purpose of licking the Kaiser. All classes and types of the nee were represented in this squad, which was placed under the command of Jay Gould Felton in transit. Gathered to witness the departure of the men were many of their rela tives and friends among their own race and also many of their white friends. Eaeh of the drafted men was pre sented a comfort kit from the Red Cross, these were made by the color ed women, the material being furnish ed by the Red Croce, the negroes teemed very apreciative of this evi dence of Interest on the part of the Red Croce leaden and the women of their own race. Aa the Inin polled out their cheers and goodbyes filled the air. Don’t forget the picture tomorrow ' at the DeSoto. night INSTRUCTION BOARDS FOR LOCALSELECTMEN MEN Wll*. BE GIVEN LECTURES AND SOME DRILLS BEFORE LEAVING FOR CAMP. According to orders issued from the provost marshal general’s office local selective service boards through out the country will proceed at once to appoint county boards of instruc tion for thyp urpose of preparing se lectmen for-Camp training. Under the .orders there will per haps he two-of euch boards appoint ed in Dooly county and they will work under and in.cooperation with the lo cal board, the idea of this work being to put the selective service men into camp willing/.tpyal, intelligent, clean and sober merv And thus fit them bet ter -for rapiflSjprogress in becoming good soldiers^, Very few hdectmen have seen mil itary training; perhaps a larger num ber have somolilealof what is expect ed of them, wlgle the greater portion of them, whilq' being loyal men, are more ignorant of whtc is expected-of them. Then there il, another large element, who><Srough (ignorance, are neither willing) -intelligent, nor loyal nor fit in the proper degree for train ing. It is especially this latter class that can be reached before they go to camp and jtnade intelligent and willing selectmen': tt is believed that instruction will ad- :tmen os where per- in their camp traln- lable them to be sent lorer apidly. of operation under i boards to call the ier several times be- itualiy inducted Into :e and through give the a more it they are expect- hey will be direct- thelr rights in pay, their al- iu all of its be discussions Ice Entered the War,” “Why America Must Win the War;’’ The Necessary Character of the American Soldier;” “Habitual Re straint and the Avoidance of Liquor as a Patriotic Obligation,” together with information regarding camp life There will also be some prelim inary military drills to get the men started on this line. All of this preliminary work, it is believed, will make it much easier for the men to fall into routine of camp work and make the life there easier for them from the beginning. In fact, instead Of entering a camp absolutely ignorant of what it is, they will have a general outline of it and thus grasp things much more rapidly. The Dooly county board, as soon as the proper men can be selected for these boards, will announce their names and officially create the boards and permit the work to go on ns or dered by the war department.

PREACHERS AND MAJOR HAVING ROW Amarlcua Ministers Oppose Sunday Baseball At The Aviation Camp Americas, Ga.—Sunday baseball at Souther Field has started a con troversy in Amhrlcus that will not down.

Maynard, a. prominent attorney here, then pre pared a set of resolutions which were adopted by various congregations and Sunday schools, , and subsequently given wide publicity.
