: THE SOUTH'S GREATEST HISTORIAN
*The Bdnner-Keraid feels it is safe in saying that
Augusta enjoys the privilege this week of entertain
ing Georgia’a greatest convention in the 39th annual
lgceting of the Georgia Division of the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy. There are innumerable
conventions annually assembled in Georgia of va
rious fraternal, philanthropic, religious, business
and historical societies but to our mind there are
npne of them that make iiuile so universal an appeal
tO our people as the annual meetings of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy, Even the annual meetings
of the fast thinning gray line of the Confederate
Veterans themselves has not the significance of the
vgn’k and the purpose and the patriotism of the
nfcetingr, bf the Daughters of the Confederacy.
.The Daughters of the Confederacy are destined to
Pte up the work the veterans in the years that ore
' rt did so far an they wore able so bravely and so
jll but which by force of arms and superior num
bers and resources they were never able to physical
ly accomplish-viz to demonstrate to the world by
physical force the justice of their cause and the
purity and patriotism of their motives. The Daugh-
teks have dedicated themselves to this demonstra-
' tjjn and final proof, but in another field than the
arena of arms. Their appeal is to the mind and
hflart and conscience of the clear and clean thinking
people of the South and nation, and this appeal
groWs stronger as the years go by.
“Perhaps no figure in the annual meetings of the
Daughters of the Confederacy has stood out more
conspicuously among the scores and hundreds of
nobld and consecrated women who have devoted so
lakge a portion of their lives and energies to the
cause than that of Miss Millie Rutherford. She has
long since become a national figure in her zealous
consecration to the memories and to the true history
o{ the Confederate cause. For years she has cheer
fully assumed the onerous and exacting duties of His
torian of the Georgia Division. What fhis has meant
and wlll;in future years mean to the student of his
tory and to the memory of the men of the Confeder
acy, it is impossible to truly measure for she has
given without stint her great love, her iwonderful
energy, her brilliant intellect and an infinite fairness
and patience, to present the true facts of that history
te a nation that has perhaps grown careless as The
time goes by, and a part of which has perhaps been
mu'; y prejudiced and partisan as far as the South
lias been concerned.
-For the Daughters of the Confederacy to allow
M i ; Millie Rutherford to resign, <js we understand
age has indicated her intention to do, after all these
— to of work and worth' and usefulness, would be a
it mistake. Undoubtedly her duties should be
less onerous, as time goes on, and as the de-
i on the Historian become greater and greater,
: only in Georgia but all over the country. But
Georgia Daughters without their great Histo-
wauld be like a disbanded army. And there
be no Appomattox in the history of the Daugh-
of the Confederacy.
ESERVATION OF THE FORESTS IMPORTANT
j is a law in Georgia regulating and controll-
Ise burning of the forests or as is more commonly
to as' “Betting fire to the woods.” While
have been no serious conflagrations that we
in this state in recent years, yet every care
i be practiced and especially at this season of
year when leaves are fulling and farmers clear*
j new grounds and burning brush. It is a season
belt there is much danger of the forests engulfed
.flames and great damage done not only to the
teats but to other property and life.
ction of the code of the state regulates such
ticc3 and every court and every judge should
! cognizance of this law and charge the grand
■ accordingly.
lore are the sections of the law relating to the
bject:
i “Section 227. Who May. No person but a
Resident of the county where the firing is'done,
owning lands therein, or domiciled thereon,
mtsidc of any town incorporation, shall set on
ire any woods, lands or marshes, nor shall such
.rnreons, except between the twentieth of Feb-
Sruary and the first of April, annually.
Vz “Section 228. Notice. When such person
>yhall desire to set fire within said time, he shall
Snotify all persons who occupy lands adjoining
’him, by residence thereon, or cultivation, or in-
-closure of any portion of the tract or settlement
7of the day and hour of the firing, at least one day
|jprior thereto. Such notice need not be given if.
»on rudden emergency, due to caution should ’
^require firing to render one’s premises safe.
^“Section 230. Penalty for Letting Woods Catch, ’»
*Etc. Persons, either by themselves or agents, r ’
£who permit fire to get into the woods, lands, or
t marshes, through neglect, are within the mean-
= Sing of the three preceding sections.” ’
;>Should it be a dry fall there will be much danger
of such conflagrations and for the sake of the pre- ’
««Wltlon of the forests -which are being rapidly
tleololed for commercial purposes, it is highly Itn- ’
pjSrtant that everything possible should be done to ’
prevent outbreaks of fire either from burning brush
or from an incendiary character. t

Two valuable books on
European situation have appeared
Jhls fall. They are "Europe Since
1918,” by Herbert Adams Gibbon,
aod "The Malady of Europe,” by
M. E. Ravage.
The first of the two is the la<rger
and written by a’ person more
vi’dely nown tliah the author of
the second. Both books give gra*
phic representations of conditions
as they exist In the various coun
tries of Europe Just at thV» time.
Mr. Ravage, author of “The Ma
lady of Europe” goes further than
Gibbon, ihowever, and tries to pres
et be a remedy for the conditions
as he saw them. All suggestions
aro well, but It is the unfortunate
truth that Mr. Ravage does not
offer anything that might be con
sidered practicable or even capa
ble of Improving tjic situation to
a very £reat extent.
Gibbon In his "Europe Since
1918” declares that he i's Writing
the book without bias; that he is
attempting to give the actual pic
ture ns It Impressed him during his
stay i'n the country in which ho
spent nmpie time to write a book
of the nature of his. Irameriately
he plunges into an account of the
Paris conference and the treaty
that was a -result of that gathering
urn! almost in as many years, he
brands both ns failures. He is kind
enough to sny that ho does not bo
lfeve that Mr. Wilson knew he was
being “hopd-wlnked” as ho was by
the old world statesmen In thn
momentous gatherng that was sup
posed to bring on end to all wars
ami mage peace a certatoty. Gltv
bon’s hook treats of the European
situation in a* much fuller and per
haps more adequate manner than
docs Mr. Ravage’s “Tho Malady
of Europe.” Almost every country
and every angle of the situation Is
•Vscusscd In Gibbon’s work which
Is really Interesting reading.
Perhaps there has not been given
to the reading public, Ihowever, a
better, more concise treatment of
the malady of Europe than is con
tained In “The Malady of Europe.”
There 1s nothing of a heavy na
ture, nor a multlpllq'ty of details
about this book which would mako
it uninteresting reading to the ori
dlna-ry layman. It Is a book that
can well be recommended to any-

"Kfty Years,” by Bishop Wil
liam Lawrence of Massachusetts
will soon be published by Hough
ton Mifflin Company. Bishop Law
rence recently celebrated his
thirtieth anniversary of this ser
vices as bishop. It was the occas
ion of a distinguished gathering at
St. Paul’s Cathedral, Boston. At
this time Bishop Lawrence briefly
reviewed the story of Ms spiritual
life for the last fifty years since
h’,3 graduation from Harvard. Much
wtych the bishop wished to say
remained unsaid because of the
necessity of brevity. Now lie has
prepared a fuller record of his life
