LET’S KNOW EACH OTHER
RELIGIOUSLY—SO URGE
THE MINISTERS
A person’s religious views and
preferences in a country like ours,
we are free to exercise without
hindrance so long as they come with
in the bounds of good citizenship
and helpful living to oneself, his
family, and hi s neighbors. We are
grateful that we live in a country,
whose foundation tenets protect us
in this right.
One of the best ways to guarantee
the continuance of this religious
heritage is for Christian groups to
know each other, work cooperatively
with each other, and each to know
the aims and objects for which the
others are striving. Often down the
history of the Christian Church this
has not been true. There have some
times been rivalry and critical atti
tudes that were hurtful to Christian
brotherhood and understanding. The
best cure for an un-Christian spirit,
is for Christians to unite their ef
forts in a common Christian en
deavor.
Some days ago three of the minis
ters of Jefferson were talking to
gether of ways by which people of
the churches might come to know
<ech other better. One thing was
projected. That all the churches
cooperate in taking a survey to
know every person religiously.
Many people the preachers realize
live in Jefferson whom they do not
know in that way. They cannot in
telligently help them because they
do not know them. Therefore, they
have decided to ask workers from
*ll the churches to make a complete
survey next week, that they may
know each other religiously. Please
cooperate with these workers and
let’s know each othei religiously.

Wreck of Trains at Carters
ville Kills 7 Engineers
Cartersville, Ga.—A milling crowd
c? spectators was sprayed with burn
ng gasoline when a gasoline tank
car in a freight train wreck explod
ed s resources were attempting t<
extricate the bodies of two en
gineers.
State highway patrolmen estimat
ed more than 30 persons were in
jured. none seriously.
Killed in the wreck which preced
ed the tank car explosion by some
40 minutes, were the engineer of n
through freight of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad and the engineer
of a switch engine of the Nashville
Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad
The dead were listed as;
J. O. Greenwell, Etowah, Tents,
engineer on the through freight.
L. L. Gilstrap, Sr., Cartersville
engineer on the switch engine.
The blast which followed the
wreck injured W. E. Harris of Eto
wah, engineer on a second north
bound freight who was backing his
train away from the wreckage at
the time. Harris was in a hospital
with burns about his neck and
shoulders.
J. W. Keyes, brnkeman on the
switch engine, suffered cuts.
An estimated 500 spectators had
gathered at the scene to watch fire
men battling burning cars when the
explosion occurred. Many wer-i
treated for slight injuries at hos
pitals.
Two large gasoline storage tank?
near the wreck were in danger of
being ignite!!, but a breeze saved
them and fanned the flames in the
opposite direction.
Bullitt Returns, Tells
of Escape From Bomb
New York.—William Bullitt, U. S.
ambassador to France, disclosed on
his return from Europe aboard the
Dixie Clipper Saturday that his es
cape from death or injury by a
Nazi air boomb in Paris was narrow
er than first reports described.
The bomb that dropped within 10
feet of Bullitt as a “dud.” Satur
day. the ambassador revealed that
the projectile was a time bomb which
exploded an hour later, demolishing
the room.
“We were having lunch at the
French Air Ministry Office when we
heard the air raid signal,” he said.
“It didn’t occur to any of us chat
the Germans were going to bomb
the inner circles of Paris, so we
went out to the balcony to watch.
We could not see the planes, they
were so high.
23 Bombs Dropped
“The first bomb landed in a va
cant field, 100 yards in front of us.
The second bomb demolished a smal’
building closer to us—a French hos
pital—killing three sick persons and
injuring eight others. Then the>
started dropping all around us.
“There were 23 bombs dropped in
all, including some big ones. We
concluded it was time to go to the
basement, and it was about that
time that a bomb came through the
roof of our building and lodged in
the ceiling without exploding. It
was a time bomb and it went off an
hour later, blowing the room to
pieces. I heard that no one
killed.”
Bullitt praised the 20 American
women of his embassy staff who re
fused permission to leave Paris and
remained at their posts “although
they had every reason to think the>
woud be bombed out of existence.'
Back For Conference
He said he had returned to con
fer with President Roosevelt am'
Secretary Hull after having been
out of effective contact with Wash
ington for more than five weeks.
He indicated that he expected to
return to France.
Tree seedlings totaling 1,679,5000
from TVA nurseries were planted
during the past season in eight
northern counties of the Tennessee
Valley area in Georgia. This re
forestation was accomplished through
the cooperation of farmers and
county agents to decrease erosion,
reduce run-off of water and provide
a crop on- steep and badly eroded
land abandoned for agriculture. The
planting was composed chiefly of
1,490.850 pine and 184,550 back lo
cust seedlings.
A judicious silence is always bet
ter than truth spoken without chari
ty.—De Sales.

Heavy Rainfall Boosts
Fishing Over Georgia
Poor end poor fishing now
i means better fishing tomorrow. The
heavy rainfall over Georgia last
i week has been a blessing in dis
' guise.
Rain in nil sections washed catch
es to anew low for the - enfon. hut
at the same time, it was working for
the fisherman of the future.
With ell streams in the stnte bM"k
to normal level—and above—mil
lions of fish stranded in sloughs have
found an outlet to running waters,
according to state wildlife rangers
who were preparing for rescue work
along the Flint and Chattahoochee
rivers this week.
The continuous rain is exnected
to reduce this type of work
mately 75 ner cent, thus giving
rangers assigned to rescue duties
free rein to war on seiners, troo
pers and other violators of the fish
ing lawk
Not onlv has the rain given large
fish a chance to return to streams,
hut newly-hatched fry, or small fry,
also have seen their chance of sur
vival increased three-fold. Millions
of fish were dying in lagoons at this
time last year because* of a severe
drought. The toll mounted through
August and September, but such an
outdoor catastrophe has been avert
ed, what with the flooded streams
and the excessive moisture in the
adjoining soil.
Fishermen who have gone to the
streams and come back wot apd
hunerv during the rainv periods are
due for better luck, wildlife rangers
declare.
WALKING HABIT
DECLARED DEAD
Pittsburgh.—Unless the American
people begin using their feet a little
more, the citizens of this country in
a few generations will just “shuffle
along.”
That is the prediction of two
Pittsburgh men—Burnett M. Roscoe,
insurance adjuster of accident com
pensation cases for the Pittsburgh
Board of Public Education, and
George Clarkson, secretary-manager
of the Western Pennsylvania Safety
Council.
Roscoe not only predicted a shuf
fling gait in the future hut warned
that if people keep off their feet at
the present rate for a few more
generations, their ankle* will be
come so weak they will have to
walk on “all fours.”
“More and more people are for
getting how to use their feet,” Ros
coe complained. “The majoity of
people ride to work and sit around
at the office all day. They ride home
at night. Then ride to the theater or
a party, ride home and go to bed.
“This habit is getting worse.
They are even developing autos so
you don’t have to work your foot on
the clutch and brake.”
Roscoe and Clarkson pointed out
that the disuse of the feet is costing
American taxpayers a lot of money.
Weakening of the limbs has result
ed in more accidents, they pointed
out, and has added greaty to the
accident compensation bills.
“In my opinion,” Roscoe added,
“conditions are going to get worse
in this country. The habit is goine
to get so bad that human beings will
just shuffle along.”
“Louisiana Purchase”
There is now showing in one of
New York’s leading theaters a com
edy titled “Louisiana Purchase.” It
is the hit show of the season. Ca
pacity audiences nightly are laugh
ing at the clever lines and the songs
are being hummed and sung all over
the country.
The theme upon which the play
is built is the recent investigation
and disclosure of vicious political
graft in Louisiana. The play runs
closely parallel to actual facts, in
some places.
The revelations of unscrupulous
graft, in the play, bring roars of
laughter from every audience. And
it is, in one view, extremely funny.
It reveals that Americans have
become so hardened to the grafting
of politicians that they can accept
it as a joke. It is no jongcr, ap
parently, stuff to make free men see
red, it is stuff to make them laugh,
when public servants, elected to
serve a people who depend upon
their honesty, loot the public treas
ury and enrich themselves by dip
ping their larcenous hands in the
taxpayers’ pocket.—Atlanta Consti
tution.
George Eliot’s Country
Visitors to Staffordshire in Eng
land find it is the Loamshire of
George Eliot’s novels. Ellastone is
the “Haysthorpe” of Adam Bede,
and the cottage of the novelist’s
childhood can be seen there.

OPEN LETTER TO THE CITIZENS
OF THE NINTH CONGR.SSIONAL
DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
Our nation is faced with the most
serious situation that has confront
ed it since it had its inception. This
war causes the whole world to be
faced with darkest despair, and it is
entirely possible that the very des
tiny of our own nation rests in the
balance. Congress continues in ses
sion to safe-guard our rights, and
should I exercise my privilege to
come home and campaign for re
election at this time, I would feel
that I had deserted my post of duty.
Therefore, lam writing you this
open letter as an explanation of why
I am not in the district actively cam
paigning now. It is my hope that
Congress will so expedite our plans
for national defense that I may be
able to come home at .least for a
short time before the primary. I
shall remain true to my trust, how
ever, I believe the good people of
the Ninth District will understand
and that my rights will likewise be
safe-guarded at the primary to be
hed September 11. I stand definite
ly for non-intervention, and believe
our greatest safety is an adequate
national defense.
Sincerely yours,
B. FRANK WHELCHEL, M. C.
MERCHANT WHO GOES AFTER
TRADE GETS IT
(Walton Trrfbune)
With towns like Monroe, which is
within an hour of Atlanta, it* has
become a case of the survival of the
fittest, and the business man who is
content to see business rightfully
his speed on to the city, will eventu
ally wake up to find he has no busi
ness. The business firm needs the
services of the local newspaper, and
the newspaper needs and must have
the support of the business firms if it
is to survive. The local merchant
should awaken to the fact that At
lanta stores are advertising in At
lanta newspapers for Walton county
trade, and that they are getting a
considerable share of it.
