Ex-Lieut.-Gov. James H. Tilman
of South Carolina is again a free

• v Recently a southern congressman
was quoted as saying he did not be

for the presidency lie would receive

An eastern republican editor charac
terized this attitude as slavishneBS.
Ou the contrary, it is patriotism of
the best kind, patriotism based upon
the fact that republicanism is antag
onistic to the best interests of the
oountry, and that the best the re
publican patty will do iB far below

Agents of the general staff of the
V. 8. Army are to be sent as milita
ry attaches to the different South
Amorioan countries to study military
conditions there, in view af a possi
ble conflict of the United States in
4hat part of the world. For this
purpose several army officers are now
vauder instruction in the Division of
Military Information and will Btart
for South American capitals before
ithe end of this month. The con
stant friction between Latin-Ameri
can and European governments, of
which the late trouble in Venezuela
was an instance, has made it possi
ble that this country should beoome
involved in a war to preserve the
Monroe Doctrine. Furthermore, it
is known that the European govern
ments have had military agents in
South America for a long time,
.gathering information which would
be of great vale in case of war. It is
said at the department that one na
tion has been especially aotive in
this respect, and'though the name is
withheld, it is an open secret that it
is Germany.—Our-Washington Cor

The yeek of prayer—last week—
will have been m vain unlees the
Holy Spirit was and is one in our
midst. From this day let us send
to. the Throne of Grace a mighty
volume of prayer, that lives may be
■quickened aud brought into close re
lationship with Him. Whatever
else we do, let us pray,
October questions; How many
foreigners have entered our country
•during the last 18 years? Nearly
SO,000,000. How many during the
lost year? Nearly 900,000.
.Let conference and auxiliary su
perintendents see that the answer to
this question is clearly and interest-
iulgy brought out in boeh press and
auxiliaries. Make clear the only
?.-'*ivation for our land under such
einditiona. In order to bring the
world to Christ, America must be
kept truly Christian.
The State Fair Open.
The opening exercises began at
10 o’clock Wednesday morning, ad
dresses of welcome being delivered
by Mayor Smith and Hon. Dudley
M. Hughes, president of the Geor
gia State Agricultural Society. Miss
Henilu Hughes, daughter of Pres.
Hughes, and Miss Oabaniss, daugh
ter of Pres. J. W. Oabaniss of the
Macon Fair Association, touched a
button, a gun was fired, the bells
and whistles of the city were sound
ed, and the great fair was open and
ready to be seen.
This was Press day and many ed
itors were guests of the Fair Asso
ciation, and were given a barbecue
dinner. The program was good.
Thursday is North Carolina day.
In the afternoon children’s pageant,
automobile races, eto.
Friday will be Military day, and
twenty companies of Georgia troops
are expected to participate in the
parade. In the afternoon the prize
drills will commence, and be com
pleted Saturday.
The counties oontesting for the
capital prize are Bartow, Bibb, Bul
loch, Camden, Cobb, Houston, Jones,
Meriwether, Spalding, Telfair, Troup,
Twiggs and Worth, a total of thir
teen, making the largest and best
aggregate agricultural exhibit ever
seen in Georgia, or the South. This
feature alone is worth the timo and
money required to se& it.
The managers deserve unlimited
commendation for their successful
efforts in preparing for the fair, and
it is their purpose to treat all ex
hibitors with absolute impartiality.
However, several of the managers of
oounty exhibits have expressed dis
satisfaction with the fact that Jones
oounty has a separate building with
8,300 feet of space, while the others
have an average of only about 1,500
feet each.
Next week the program of each
day will include horse races in the
afternoon.
Wo cannot begin to tell what will
be seen; yon must see to know.
The Home Journal editor regrets
that he was unable to meet with
his newspaper friends on PresB day
and enjoy the hospitality of the fair
managers, who know so well how to
entertain.
Old Hotel Modernized.
People who have heretofore known
the old “Stubblefield House,” now
The Hotel Arcadia, on Mulberry
street,Macon,Ga., near the Aoaderay
of Music, would scarcely know its
interior to-day. A three-story an
nex just completed, and other
ohanges, provide 18 new bed-rooms,
a large well-appointed dining hall,
a modern kitchen, enlarged office
and lobby, bath rooms and closets
on eaoh floor. The house is provid
ed with electric lights throughout
and a call buttonjin each’roorn, all
well-furnished for comfort and con
venience. With all this improve
ment in rooms and service, the cost
to guests remains the same, $2.00 a
day. Mr. A. J. Sparks, the lessee
and manager, has been in the hotel
business more than ten years, and is
a most obliging and agreeable host.
Without hesitation we commend
Mr. Sparks and the Hotel Arcadia
to all readers of the Home Journal
who may require suoh accommoda
tions in Macon—a home-like hotel
with good table fare,comf or table bed
rooms and agreeable sen ice at a
moderate price.

We did not move fast enough in
sending our Gospel to foreign fields;
so God has sent those benighted
ones to us, for now Old Glory floats
over twenty million foreign born
subjects.
Our Home Mission Society pro
poses to give them the Gospel as
fast as possible, for fear some of us
will become contaminated with their
heathen ideas. We now consider the
United States a mission field I
MrB. Paul told us Sunday night
of the various religions which are
creeping into our country. Let us
sleep no longer, but arise tojthe help
of the Lord, to the help of the Lord
against the mighty. And whatever
else we do, let us pray.
Miss Bessie Houser gave us a
clear description of our various
schools, for not only these foreign
ers, but for our own people.
Inspiring songs, an attentive au
dience and the presence of the
Lord, all together, made us feel that
our Sunday night service was not in
vain. Secretary.
