“GO TO CHURCH Ml HD AY."
The churches of Macon. Os.. are making a great "GO TO CHURCH
campaign for next Sunday. Formal Invitations have not been issued but
wide Invitation is extended to every citizen of Macon to attend the church
of his choice. The active membership of the different churches are making
a special effort to get men and women out to church next Sunday who have
not darkened the door of a church for years, and to get children who have
never entered a church door. It Is proposed to make next Sunday a great
“home-coming" affair, to get the people closer together, and In closer coin
munion with God.
This movement upon the part of the good people of Macon Is a very
worthy one, and should meet with great success not only for the day alone
but should result In much good for many years to come. It should revive
church going to such an extent that the twenty-six churches of Macon may
be crowded with people every Sunday for months to come.
It is easy for people to get out of the habit of going to church. Sunday
morning It seems Is a most opportune time for excuses to be made for stay
ing at home Men who have the entire day to spend at home find It con
venient to spend only an hour or two In the morning, having something else
to entertain them during the balance of the day. Many wives are kept
away from church Just because their husbands will not accompany them.
The truth of the matter Is the men really enjoy attending church, but after
they remain away for a Sunday or two they get the false Idea that they do
not enjoy the church services.
There Is no particular "Go to Church Sunday” campaign going on In
Waycross at the present time, but why not let the Waycross people get the
spirit from Macon and surprise the preachers next Sunday morning by
tilling every church in the city.
LET EVERYBODY QO TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY,
JIM NEYIH HEADS GEORGIAH.
U ia announced from Atlanta that Mr. Jim Nevln will become the editor
of the Atlanta Georgia. Mr. Nevln conducted for a long time “Side Lights'
on Georgia Politics” In the Georgian, and for several months past has rep-t
resented the Georgian in Washington. Jim Nevln ia one of the finest fel
lows and cleverest writers In Georgia. He la always able to see both sides
Of a question no matter how positive he la In his own opinion, and he usu
ally has one.
Mr. John Reece, Atlanta representative for the Macon Telegraph, Is
writing about Mr. Nevln’s promotions says:
“The selection of Mr. Nevln Is a peculiarly appropriate one. He Is a
Georgian born and reared and has had valuable newspaper experience In
tala own state and for four years in Washington, where he was associated
witb^Scott Done, one of the ablest publishers In tho country.
**Mr. Nevin'a work has been editorial and political. He knows both
national and state politics Inside and out, has Ideas and Ideals, and rare
writing ability. His political gossip column ‘Sidelights* has been a very
popular feature of the Georgian for the past two years,
here^that the appointment of Mr. Nevln means a change In plans in regards
Keats Speed, who has been In charge of tho Georgian for several
months, has returned to New York, whero ho will bo connected with Mr.
llearat’s publications there.
Foster Coates, one of Mr. Ilearst’s right hand men, and who wants to
see the Georgian made a southern newspaper, Is here now Initiating Mr.
Nevln Into his new duties. Mr. Coats Is probably Inrgely responsible for
the promotion of Mr. Nevln to the practical head of tho Atlanta Georgian.
“Friends of Mr. Nevln throughout Georgia will wish him success In his
new duties, and will feel assured that he will make the Gcorglnn one of pe
culiar value and worth to the state and the South.
“It- will be recalled that several months ago announcement was made
here that Colonel John Temple Graves would como to Atlanta to assume
editorial dlr^dlon of the Georgian. Col. Graves did come for a short time
and made editorial announcement of the fact that ho was ‘coming back
nornt. 1 Since however, he has been here very little, hence It Is the view
here that the appointmnt of Mr. Nevln means a change In plans in regards

Faring Starvation.
Rear Admiral Howard, commanding
tho American naval forces off the Pa
cific coast of Mexico, reported to the
Navy Department today that there was
shortage of food all along the west
coast, and that the populace of Acap
ulco faced starvation. He said food
stuffs were not available at any price.
Transportation both by land and rail
virtually is at a standstill along the
Pacific coast and, inasmuch as the rev
olutionary activities of the past three
years have engaged th«* great masses
the people, only meager crops have
been grown. Admiral Howard saya It
absolutely necessary that corn and
rice be provided promptly for Acapul-
Gaerrero In Turmoil.

Word has come to Washington that
Carranza proposed to reimpose these
customs dues on all goods upon which
payment has been made to the Ameri
can authorities at Vera Cruz. The
United States government, which re
ceived payment from Vera Cruz im
porters In good faith, has let It be
known that unless assurances came
that no one would be subjected to dou
ble taxation the money collected would
be turned back to those from whom it
came.

ANOTHER OPEN DOOR.
The Atlanta Constitution sees
great opportunity for American in
stitutions of learning on account of
the war. In a recent issue it says:
If the European war offers to the
South and the nation an unprecedent
ed opportunity to widen their foreign
trade boundaries, the opportunities to
broaden the educational status
this country are no less emphatic,
and for the same reasons. The same
orgy of organized murder that open
commercial doors to us in South
America and the Orient likewise dis
rupts and demoralizes Europe’s won
derful educational and university
system so that not only shall we be
er promised or guaranteed twelve
cents cotton under the conditions re
sulting from the European war, but
he has worked like a Trojan, by all
accounts, to do what was possible
and practicable for the relief of the
situation. If our information is not
at fault, he introduced and obtained
the passage in the Senate of what ia
called the Lever warehouse license
bill, which was a practical and *er-
viceable measure that would have
made warehouse certificates commer
cial paper and given a measure of
instant relief if it could have been
put through the House. Mflt It was
bloced in the lower body, we believe,
by Henry of Texas and others in fa
vor of Henry’s‘unattainable scheme,
able to keep more of our own Amer- and so the relief that such practical
lean students at home, but as well and conatructlve legislators as Hoke
draw them from abroad.
Germany, especially, and France
and England have been heretofore
notable world-centers for higher ed
ucation. Whichever turn the tide of
war takes, the efficiency and organiz
ation of these institutions must be
radically Impaired for years to come.
That offers an unusual oportunlty to
America.
It Is fortunate that in this crisis
Atlanta and the South are ideally
placed to takp advantage of the open
ing. The new Methodist university
to open should attract many
students who otherwise would
across the ocean. Oglethorpe makes
similar appeal. The University of
Georgia, with Its fine traditions and
equipment, stands high on the roste
of the institutions to profit by these
exigencies. The Georgia Sschool of
Technology, Emory, tyercer and all
other Institutions in the South, both
academic and technical, arc In line
to receive all the benefits that will
accrue from this unusual condition.
In view of the unusual nature of
the opportunity, which Is not likely
to recur in another century, If at all,
must be apparent to the people of
the south that the greater generosity
they exhibit toward these Institutions
the larger will be their returns In
growth. In prestige ahd, not to be

A WASTE OF ENERGY.
The Macon News saya:
This is a bad year for candidates
who run for office merely to adver
tise themselves.
It is even worse for those who
would abrogate our white primary
system by offering as Independents.
A Milledgeville gentleman, former
ly a Republican officeholder, say3
that he is opposing Senator Hoke
Smith, for re-election. He has ac
tually Instructed the secretary of
state to put his name on the official
ballots.
The News does not believe that
Senator Smith feels and uneasiness
over this matter. Nor do the people
of Georgia show any special concern
in it.
Whatever opposition there was to
Senator Smith was within the Dem
ocratic party, and all good Demo
crats, howsoever much they be op
posed to him yet, will faithfully abide
by the result of the primary.
Attempts to break the primary In
Georgia In the past have been futile.
Georgians have too high a regard for
the sacredness of their pledge. They
k*ve no patience with those, whatev
er .'heir political faiths, who would
ceitfive for broad-gauged liberality, make mockery of our primary sys-
It must not be forgotten, too, that we
shall be able, If we employ the right
kind of enterprise, to divert from
Latin-America much of the patron
age that has heretofore gone to the
educational institutions of Europe.
To read these advantages, prepar
edness and generosity and alertness
on the part of all the southern peo
ple, and the sponsors df colleges and
institutions, will be imperative. W«
lace Die opportunity to give our ed
ucational systems an impetus that
will anticipate progress for fifty
years. Whether or not we shall do
so depends upon—our own efforts.
Mr. Sibley is doubtless an estim
able gentleman. Possibly he thinks
he has excellent reasons for offering
ss an independent a£tlnst Senator
8mitb. But surely he does not be
lieve that he has even s remote
chance 'of election? • So why, then,
waste so much effort which could be
usefully expended in another diruc
tion? *
