CITED FOR BRAVERY
The Covington News is pleas¬
ed to learn that Major Oliver
Quimby Melton, son of Dr. W.
F. Melton, of Oxford, and Ser¬
geant {Major James Ralph
Thompson, son of Mr. J. Riley
Thompson, of this county, have
both been cited for conspicuous
bravery in France. Ralphe
Thompson received his training
at Camp Gordon under Major
Melton, who was, at that time,
• Captain of Company K, 325th
ini an try .
r? h<j citations read as follows:
''Major Oliver Q. Melton,
325th Infantry.
4 In the severe fighting around
St. Juvin, France, October 15 to
31, 1918 Major Melton, then a
fiis cay-tain, assumed command of
battalion when its command¬
er was wounded and, by his per¬
sonal courage and fine example,
carried it successfully through
a critical period. By his cheer¬
fulness and consideration for
his mer he maintained a high
spirit of morale, in spirit of dai¬
ly increasing casualties. His
fine personal example was an in¬
spiration to his men.”
'Bn. Sgt-Major James R.
Thompson, 325th Infantry.
‘‘On October 16,1918, near St.
Juvin, France, Sgt. /Thompson
took command of his company
after all its officers had been
killed or wounded and success¬
fully led the company until its
objective had been gained, after
which he personally returned
through heavy fire to report his
position to the battalion com I
mander; and then returned and
continued in command of the
company. His action furnished
*ui inspiring example of bravery
and devotion to duty, and excel¬
lent judgment.”
Both Major Melton and Sgt.
Thompson are expected in New
York, this week, and at Camp
Gordon within a week or ten
days.
In the Constitution, Monday,
May 5, Major Melton, who was
city editor of that paper when
he entered the service, has an
interesting letter concerning the
baseball stars of the 82nd Divis¬
ion. In this letter he says of
Sgt. Thompson, ‘‘One Georgia
boy who looks like a million and j
who is the talk of the league is
Sergeant Major Ralph Thomp¬
son, of Covington, Ga. Thomp¬
son was a pitcher at Erskine col¬
lege before he entered the ser¬
vice. He pitched good ball with
that college and his work with
the 325th Infantry team has
been spectacular. He is a rangy
chap about 6 feet one inch and
has a world of speed, an assort¬
ment of curves, and head that
makes him a valuable man.
Thompson is, in the opinion of
many, the best pitcher in the en¬
tire league (82nd Division).”
W. C. T. U. NOTES
It Smacks of Bolshevism
Among the incorporators of
“The Association Opposed to
National Prohibition” appear the
names of certain New York
bankers, merchants, and law¬
yers. These men declare that
one of their objects as an as¬
sociation is “by every legal, hon¬
orable, and reputable means to
make forever inoperative the
eighteenth amendment to the
constitution, the assocation in¬
tends by every legal and reput¬
able force that it possesses or
can create, to make the force
ment of the amendment impos¬
sible.”
In commenting on these state¬
ments and on this association,
“The Epworth Herald” says:
“The eighteenth amendment is
part of the law of the land—as
properly and surely so as the
thirteenth amendment, which
forever forbids slavery in the
United States. It was consti
tutionally approved by forty
five states out of forty-eight,
Suppose the incorporators above
named were to announce that
they propose ‘by every legal,
honorable, and reputable means
to make for ever inoperative the
(thirteenth) amendment to the
constitution. There is no legal,
honorable, and reputable method
of nullifying the sovereign law
“To make the anti-slavery
amendment inoperative, by any
means whatever, would be a
crime, and to combine for that
purpose would be a conspiracy
against the basic law of the na¬
tion.
“The Bolshevist, so we are
told, repudiates all the laws in
existence when he takes pos3es-

sion of the government. Such
new laws as he needs he makes
on the spot.
“In what respect are these
New York bankers, merchants,
and lawyers better than their
own picture of the Bolshevist
demagogue, merely because they
intend to choke to death one law
which displeases them, rather
than to pitch the whole consti¬
tution into the sewer?”
