ILLITERACY IN GEORGIA For many years, at least since the civil war, it has been common practice from northern sections of the country to broadcast reports of the illiterate condi- j tions existing in this State. It is true that Georgia I is far behind many other southern states in appro- [' priations for higher education, which is a blot on the gprte, but the very higli percentage of illiteracy ns has been claimed by some writers in periodicals, maga zines and newspapers is grossly misrepresenting the true condtinns as they now exist. The High School Quarterly, published by Dr. J. S. Stewart, of the Uni- Vfeflsity of Georgia, commenting on and defending the State from such malicious charges, reproduces a statement from Dr. A. E. Winship, editor of the New -England Journal of Education, in which he says: “Following the period of the Civil War, Geor gia reached its lowest literacy. The census of 1870 showed 27 per cent of white illiterates and 95 per cent colored. In 1880 the census dis closed 22 per cent white and 80 per cent colored. In 1890, 18 per cent white and 62 per cenl col ored. In 1900, 11.6 per cent white and 60 per ' tent colored. In 1910, 7.8 per cent white and 32’per cent colored. In 1920 the census showed 5.4 per cent white and 29.1 per cent toured. * Honor must bo given to a state show ing such progress.” Sectional feeling is rapidly passing in this nation and, before many years, we believe that it will be one reunited country in fact as well as in name. The World War contributed much towards bringing to gether a better feeling and understanding between the states and much of the misunderstanding caused by the civil war was smoothed out in the minds of many of those wljo had been taught to believe that those who lived south of the Mason and Dixon line wero traitors and desperadoes. It is different now, and ft is n blessing in a great measure to this country that the World War which brought Bide by aide our boys.whose fathers wore the gray and the boys whose fathers wore the blue, occurred, as it caused a Realization that wc were all human and made of the same jjure red blooded stock of the Anglo-Saxon race. IJs TO THE MEMORY OF THE BRAVE The rhovement inaugurated romc years ago to make “Stone Mountain the greatest mpnument in the wprld k is rapidly taking on definite plans end from expres- r.ions of those in charge of this work, it appears that within a short time the rugged walls of this mam moth stone deposit will be converted into a monument i, of glaring lines, and the forms of those who led the heroes during the ’60’s will be carved in fitting and Ljmgmpriate manner from the solid wall of this noted work of nature. Dedicated to a cause which will ever live in the hearts'of all true southerners; it will mark a spot which will last as long as time and when generations ^’ifteCgcnerations have passed and gone, Stone Moun tain will be standing just as it has since time was iflrrt-ushercd in and on its walls will stand out the ^.foptjj'of Lee, Jackson, Gordon and other noted Con federate veterans who gave their all to the cause of ■ their section and for that which they believed to be right. Whfcn completed it will bo the most colossal monu ment in the world and people from all sections of the rmtion’wili swarm to this place to not only view the womior achieved by the celebrated sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, but to see a reproduction of the men who SvprQ.the grey and who blazed the way during an epoch of which tho world has never known an equal. These men deserve all that is being done by their rinn^daughters and grand children to perpetuate their noble deeds of bravery and sacrifice during the most trying times a nation ever experienced. ; The committee in charge, with Hon. Hollins N. Randolph, as chairman, has determined to'succeed in this great undertaking and it may be depended upon thatQt will succeed with such men and women chawed with the responsibility of a cause which is near-and dear to the hearts of our people, a cause which, we honor, love and respect, dedicating to its memory a memorial which will stand forever as a silent tribute to the Confederate dead. The peanut industry is growing to be one of the P most .profitable in this state, especially in South Geor gia, "There is no reason why this section of the state Jhould not grow rich off of the peanut crops. There is a great demand for this product at home and mil- Tions^of bushels could be raised here which would ,find'« ready money market. As it is there are'mil- lionfcof bushels shipped into this state annually from other states and foreign countries. It is worth while ■ investigating and cultivating an industry of so much value to our people. f. a : T ' Tjio Chamber of Commerce is commencing an ac- tiv^campaign for the new year by going after more industries and especially in the manufacturing lines. President White has his eye on a number of large cn- . Jterpriscs which he believes he will be able to locate in Athens.

Another Athens man who has made history for Athens and risen tb the highest office in tho courts of the State, Judge Richard B. Russell.

He saw Harry at a dis tance In his pasture and called to him an he drove alongside of the stone wall. Harry with a begrudg ing manner came slowly over to him. •“Well. Harry.

BY GEO. 8TANLEY FRAZER LETTERS FL THE PEOPLE'] THE RADIO FOR PASTORLESS COMMUNITIES The Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian church, U. H. A., is conducting experiments to de vise a practical way of providing radio Sunday services for isolated communities. A representative of that department in charge o board’s work in the far west, made a very successful first attempt re cently with a Sunday morning ser vice in a little frontier settlement 100 miles out of Los Angeles. He had previously made arrangements with a broadcasting station to broadcast a religious service oqe hour each Sunday morning. The manager of a radio service organ ization went to Antelope Valley to set up a temporary radio set. •rhA nroposed service had been an nounced through all the district, > if! the schoolroom where the ser vice was to be held was crowded scripture reading, prayer and sermon were distinct from begin ning to end, and the people listen ed in reverent attention, though the preacher whose voice they hearing, was 106 miles away. Fur ther experiments nre being made, and while the radio service will not supplant the work of a pastor is present, it Is anticipated that regular Sunday service can be ar ranged for isolated communities where visits of the minister Urc few and far between.
