[Justice is the Goal of Civilizationj\J£'
Virtue finds its truest expression in justice. Liberty and equality
are empty words unless they rest upon justice which at all times is the
true principle for humanity. Separate liberty or equality from justice
aud neither can stand. The passion of all great prophets throughout
all ages has been for justice.
It is the one-word definition of the Golden Rule. It was not only
the basis of the teachings of Jesus but of all great religious seers and
prophets. Each in his turn and time and In his own way said the same
thing. Confucius put it: “What I do not wish men to do to me, I also
wish not to do to them.”
Justice is virile; it is never passive or indifferent. It is the truth
in action. Justice may be violeent; it is always violent to the one who
offends it. We may prize success, covet wealth, seek honor, but none
of these can satisfy unless they come through justice.
He is great who. for justice's sake, can forget friends, kin, self-inter
est —all —to fight for or to work for that which is right for another, a
stranger perhaps, or even an enemy. We cannot secure justice for our
selves through denying justice to others. It is not in the order of things,
for justice is consistent, impartial and always fair.
Though justice is impartial it is not blind. Science is governed by
its laws.
The nation that loves liberty most sincerely and that fights only for
human justice is seldom found in the brutal entanglements of war and
then only in a benignant war made holy by the passion for justice. The
nation that covets property and men, that seeks to enrich itself by devas
tating its neighbor, is found most often in the throes of war and then
for the shameful and unsatisfying end of boldly defying justice. And
as with nations so with men. .Such nations come to no good end.
“Justice,” said Daniel Webster, “is the greatest interest of man on
earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized
nations together.”
Happiness and progress are secured only when Justice is honored,

THE C. & F. SEEKING
LINE TO SAVANNAH
RUMOR CURRENT THAT RAIL
WAY IS SEEKING TO SECURE
ROUTE FROM STEVENS CROSS
ING TO THE COAST.
There is a movement on foot by the
officials of the Georgia & Florida Ry.
to get their line into Savannah and
get access to ocean transportation.
This matter has been under advise
ment for some time* and recently
General Manager Purvis has been
very active along this line.
The plan of the road is to buy a
forty mile section of the Midland
Railroad extending from Stevens
Crossing on the Georgia & Florida in
Burke county to Statesboro, and then
utilize the Savannah & Statesboro
system, a subsidized line of the Sea
board Air Line, which would put the
Borgia & Florida system intol Sa
vannah.
This recent information was given
out last Saturday by Hinton Booth,
an attorney of Statesboro, represent
ing General Manager Purvis of the
Georgia & Florida Railway. It ap
pears that the Georgia & Florida has
already made an offer to the Midland
Railway or to the court which has the
affairs of the Midland in hand. Mr.
Booth says further:
“The acceptance of the Georgia &
Florida Railway’s offer will mean
another transaction for the Midland
Railroad." Mr. Booth stated yester
day that a group of professional and
business men of Statesboro and Por
tal are contemplating the purchase
of a twelve-mile stretch of the Mid
land between those two towns. In
case thd offer is received the new
short line will be named the Portal
and Statesboro Railway, and a regu
lar schedule will be maintained.
This announcement will be receiv
ed in Douglas with much interest.
It would give us a direct line to Sa
vannah and the port there and be of
great value to this section in the
matter of freight rates. The project
has been talked for many months,
but nothing definite done until re
cently, since the courts expect to
make some disposition of the Midland
Railway right away. We have under
stood from some inside sources that
it is very likely that the deal will go
through, in which event the Georgia
& Florida will have some interesting
announcements to make to the public.

THE CONSPIRACY
There was formed the greatest
conspiracy against the resurrection
of Jesus Christ the world has ever
knowu. They bribed the people who
were at the toinb and manufactured
a ridiculous lie in order that they
might create doubt concerning the
resurrection of Jesus. The resurrec
tion of Jesus Christ was a fact, and
therefore the conspirators had to
explain the fact away, or in some
manner destroy belief in its super
naturalness. Therefore, they held a
conference and outlined a program
of deception which has been carried
down through the ages, and the ra
tionalistic, uuregenerated forces of
today are still propagating the lie,
and are members of that conspiracy.
The original program involved
bribery, the use of power and money.
They rehearsed their story, memo
rized it and instructed the people
how to repeat It. That same policy
is being followed today,
' The original program of bribery,
conspiracy, lying and attack upon
the tomb of Jesus Christ is being
Carried on today, not only against
the tomb, but against the Church
and her fundamental doctrines. The
purpose, of course, is to deceive the
very elect The agencies of the
Church are being used, educational
institutions are being invaded »)he
power of money is being employed,
and the great evangelical, funda
mental doctrines are being attacked
by members of the most damnable
aonspiracy the world ever saw. The
battle is being waged around the
empty tomb.
* There is no historical fact more
perfectly established than the resur
rection of Jesus Christ, and yet in
famous, perjuring, rationalistic, uri
regenerate preachers and teachers
arc denying the supernatural, bodily
resurrection of Jesus Christ. They
are members of this infamous con.
•piracy.
Beal Christians should awake to
the fact, be aroused to the crime

if a brush is dipped into a pail of
water (into which a cup of salt has
been added) and thoroughly wet the
