Haygood. the subject of Dr. Elam
F. Dempsey's latest biography is
accounted one of the "big char

peciaily appropriate at this time
when the unification of American
Methodism has become a fact.
For Methodist union was a dream

In its makeup and method of
presenting historical data, this
large volume by a Georgia writer
will stand the test of a stream

five feature is the space given to
more than 150 illustrations re
fleeting the culture and spirit of
probably the most interesting and
colorful period of American life,
the post-war South in the track of
Sherman’s Army which is at pres
ent so much before the public j
mind in Miss Mitchell’s “Gone'
With the Wind.”
For its faithfulness in portray
