THE WHITE RUSSI A.
A sketch of White Russia, the first
part of old Russian soil to feel the
power of the invader, is given in a
statement issued today by the National
Geographic Society:
“White Russia comprises four Rus
sian governments, Vitebsk, Smolensk
Moghileff and Minsk. It is said that
the name is derived from the predom
inate color of the peasants’ dress. This
division of Russia is bounded by the
Pripet River basin on the south and
by the Duna, or southern Dvina, on
the north. It supports a population of
about 7,500,000, two-thirds of which is
White Russian and the rest Lithuan
ian, Jewish and Polish. Here, likely, is
to be found the purest Slav type al
most unblended. This region, blank
eted by swamps and marshes, and
smothered in forests, is one of the
poorest, most backward regions in
European Russia.
“Fins dwelt here before history be
gan for Europe. They were expelled
by Lithuanians, who, in turn, gave w'ay
before migrating Slavonic tribes. Ths
country finally passed back to the
Lithuanians, then to Poland, and was
won piecemeal by Great Russia. Pol
ish appression and religious persecu
tion worked a wholesale desolation
here, and thousands of the peasants
fled into Russia, while those who re
mained intrigued for Russia’s com
ing. The whole region was not anl
nexed by the Great Russians until the
end of the 18th century. Starvation
has swept this land again and again
with as terrible effects as these ex
pegienced by India in the grip of
famine.
“The White Russian is not of so
sturdy a build as the Great Russian,
nor so comely as the Little Russian.
He is less assured than his northern
neighbor, and more heavy than his
southern neighbor. His hair is light
and his eyes are light and his face is
generally drawn. The garment pe
culiar to him is his white overcoat
which he wears on all special occas
ioins, as proudly in sweltering July as
in the winter. His villages are small,
isolated and badly kept. His homes
are primitive. His fight for existence
is a bitter one, and from his ranks are
recruited the workmen for the hardest
least-paying tacks in the empire.”
CLARION CALL TO PATRIOTISM.
Are the business men of the South
in favor of standing by President
Wilson and leaving him unhampered in
the trying position in which he is
placed?
Are they in favor of calling a halt
on the pernicious activity of some poli
ticians in the effort that is being mad?
to embarrass Woodrow Wilson, upon
whom rests a weightier responsibility
for human weal and for civilization It
self than ever before rested upon any
president of this country?
Are the people of the South willing
to permit themselves to be posed be
fore the world as whining critics oi
the president elected from their section
and by their votes, and who gathered
around him in his cabinet an l in high
official position men from all parts of
the South, and who has made a South
ern man ambassador to Great Britaib
and a Southern man ambassdor to
Italy, thus giving t 0 this section at
home and abroad every possible ad
vantage of representation by Its own
people?
The South Is being placed In a false
position before the world. It is bein';
posed as mor e Interested in cotton
than in honor.
We invite from our readers through
out the South an expression of thei
opinion against the present agitatio: .
which is largely designed to embar
rass the president in his international
negotiations. Now is the time forth.

THE BAR.
(By a Convict in Joliet Prison.)
The saloon is cometimes called a bar.
A bar to heaven, a door to hell,
Whoever named it, named it well,
A bar to manliness and wealth,
A door to want to broken health;
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to grief and sin and shame;
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer,
A door to darknsss and despair
A bar to honored, useful life,
A door to brawling, senseless strife;
A bar to all that’s true and brave,
A door to every drunkard’s grave;
j A bar to joys that home imparts,
j A door to tears and aching hearts;
■ A bar to heaven, a door to hell,
| Whoever named it, named it well.

Stahl Has Reached Prison.
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 14.—Gustav
Stahl, a German reservist reachel At -
lanta last night to begin serving an
eighteen months sentence for talking
too much. ■*.
He is the German who made a false
affidavit that he had seen four guns
mounted on the Lusitania. He con
fessed afterward that his affidavit was
a perjury, and was sentenced to a term
in the federal penitentiary.
He has been given a bath and a
number and a cell just like the other
prisoners.
State Employe is Short.
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 14.—The firs’,
case of financial irregularity on the
part of any statehouse employe which
Georgia has had to deal with in many
years is that of E. E. Holcomb, assist
ant to the keeper of public grounds
and buildings, who Is charged toda v
with being about $2,000 short in his
accounts.
It is stated that Holcomb has ad
mitted the shortage and has promised
to make good the amout and that he
governor has decided to take no erm
inal action in the case.
Holcomb was appointed in 1908, and
has held his job most of the time un
der changing administrations ever
since. His books are in such shape,
it is stated, that it will be some time
before the exact shortage can be figur
ed out. To complicate matters, it i;
alleged that he signed his superior of
ficer’s name to an order on the bank
and thus secured all the cancelled
checks which he destroyed. A publi?
accountant will be placed on the
books at once.
