Pommit- i. «*s from those assemblies have al- ;» nd> agr* ed upon terms of union and their reports are to In* made public for tie* first time at tiie general as- . emblies in session in Atlanta this week." Asked as to the* difference in the tranches of the church Mr. Partledge said ' There is only slight difference let ween the Southern and the United Presbyterians and as little between the Southern and the Associated Re form. We have mad** overtures to the Reform church but they have not yet icted favorably to a union. The Uni- ted Presbyterians in the North and the Associated Reform Presbyterians it: the South sing psalms instead of* hymns, while the Southern Presby terians sing hymns and psalms -and that is about the extent of the diffe r lice between the churches."

Like the Spartan marshalling his helots, th? planter lounging among his slaves was made dead to Art by a paralyzing sense of his own superiority." If the young tn*»n and women of Georgia can refute this article from direct reading and study of Southern Literature there is small reason for this prize essay contest; are they pre pared to do so? Are we of the ma jority, regardless of our years, pre pared to do so? We may hurl the whole Library of Southern- Literature at the head our critic; we may hold up Mildred Rutherford's book on Southern Litera ture. and (\ W. Hub tier's on Southern Potts; we may proudly quote Lucian Latnar Knight's masterpiece on this subject addressed to President Taft at the time of the Southern Congress for a greater South; we may know that many writers, many readers are familiar w ith Southern Literature, but shall this many of the minority do the thinking, and the talking for the more of’the majority? Consenting therto would put us rather in line with that noted small boy who hung up the Lord’s Prayer. wrote beneath it. "Them's my sentiments’’—and rested. Do not rest young men and women of the greater South, tut learn wha rank your predecessors h* Id in the world of letters.

Atlanta. May 14.—Old timers among Atlanta newspaper men are bemoan ing the passing of the purely "fea ture" story from local journalistic columns. Up to within three or four years ago. it flourished as one of the bright spots in papers that were otherwise full of sometimes dull routine. There were half a dozen men who excelled in writing humorous and human-inter est narratives. They reached heights that were sometimes almost Pick wlckian. One day Will Jones of the Journal sat for two solid hours at his rusty typewriter, in the old ram shackle Journal building, chuckling (o himself and spitting tobacco juice over the exchanges as his lingers flew over the keyboard. He wrote a two column story which began. "Mrs. Smithers of College Park picked a peck of snap beans in her back gar lien this morning." There was no other news in the story, but it made such delightful reading that political news from the eapitol was crowded out to make room for it. About that same time Sidney Ormond would walk down town after breakfast, see a dog fight at five points or overhear a con versation between two ragged news boys, and write a column about it for t.ext morning’s Constitution. Dudley Glass was writing better stories about nothing for the Georgian than that paper has ever printed since about something. That was back In the time when people still read criticisms of the vaudeville bill at Jake Wells' theater—because Jake Gordatowsky wrote them. The old-time features were all alike in that they contained absolutely no news, and were delight ful reading. But Don Marquis has gone to New York; Jake is managing editor; Dud Glass is writing insur ance: Sid Ormond and Will Jones have quit the glad ranks of the re porters to become editors, and while there are some mighty good newsget- ters in Atlanta today, and some bril liant cubs with the true nack of writ ing. there isn’t a man among the best of them who would dare to turn in a column story ot his city editor re (joimting the thrilling fact that Mrs. Blank had picked a peck of snap i L ans. the Imp i>f k. ir great i'll and id n Yemen 1*' long n ik'd and negleeled.
