ENROLL CHILDREN'S NAMES
IN THE BOOK OF MEMORY
The Children of the South, through
the children's founders roll of the
great corvfederate memorial at Stone
Mountain, arc mobiizing the hosts
of the confederacy again. The gray
soldiers, long dead but forever re
membered, are gathering again invis
ibly in the great book of memory,
where their names are being written
by the love and devotion of their
grandchildren and their great grand
children*
There is no sound of martial music
in the air. Fife and drum are still
rtnd their marching feet make no
siriund ad they come together once
twriin in History's greatest dirine,
but 1 throughout the south ; s felt a
stirring thrill of pride as re 'tory
evokes the pictures of the past.
One little girl, Virgi-ia Webb, of
Macon, sent in her name and that of
Augustus Burr with the brief, inspir
ing powerfully simple story:
“He was shot down as he picked up
the flag—and was carried to a north
ern prison—and never heard of any
more."
Two lines and yet it drew a picture
for the mind that thrilled the heart:
two lines and yet they tell a whole
(story of courage, devotion and sacri
fice; two lines so simply worded but
so full of the feedings of the little
girl, to whom “the flag” meant so
much that unconsciously she wrote
ihe word with capitals. She was
proud of that gray hero who passed
into thp unknown.
An,d so. are all the children proud,
both of their confederate heroes and
of the privilege that has been given
them of enrolling their names and
their oWn in' thfe’ great book of mem
ory at' Stbrit Mountaiii.
The time 1 is drawing near for the
big announcement o’s names on April
29th —Memorial dk£ '
Everybody who is aiding''in tfie en
rollment of the children', all the in
dividuals who wish to enroll their
children’s names, are urged to send
in the application blanks and contri
butions immediately in order that the
names may be properly classified and
divided into city, state and county
groups.
Every child’s name should be in
that book" of memory. Every con
federate ancestor can be memorial
ized through the children’s contribu
tions, which was purposely placed as
low as for each confederate name
in order that every name might be
enrolled.
Send names and contributions now
to the Children’s Founders Roll, 504

BAPTISTS LEAD IN
TEACHER TRAINING
In the awarding of 67,567 seals in
teacher training work during 1923 by
the Baptist Sunday school board, rep
resenting the successful completion of
that many books in teacher-training
work by individual teachers, southern
Baptists have set a new record for
themselves and every other denomina
tion, according to Ur. P. E. Bur
roughs, educational secretary of the
board. This is considerably more than
the awards made by all other report
ing denominations combined, it is
said, as this total was found to be
54,835.
The awards by other denominations
during the year were as follows:
Southern Methodists, 28,542; North
ern Methodists, 10,961; Northern
Baptists, 8,018; Southern Presbyter
ians, 2,592; Northern Presbyterians,
1,200; United Brethren, 800; and Con
gregationalists, 235.
Distribution of the teacher training
awards by southern Baptists among
the several states of the Southern
Baptist Convention territory was as
follows: Alabama, 2.918; Arkansas,
1,386; District of Columbia, 16; Flor
ida, 1,615; Georgia, 5,822; southern
Illinois, 1,893; Kentucky, 5,832; Louis
iana, 2,534; Maryland, 291; Mississip
pi, 5,642; Missouri, 3,118; New Mex
ico, 569; North Carolina, 5,816; Okla
homa, 4,204; South Carolina, 2,044;
Tennessee, 3,225; Texas, 13,790; Vir
ginia, 6,369, and on the foreign fields,
483
One interesting phase of the Bap
tist teacher training work is that it is
not confined to the city churcher and
schools. There is an increasing num
ber of well-organized country Sunday
schools and several of them have an
attendance of more than 1,000 pupils.

Immunity For "Glorious Larceny”
We need a new classification in the criminal code If a
man steals five dollars it is petit larceny. If he steals one
hundred dollars it is grand larceny. Seemingly, however, if
he steals one or two hundred million dollars it is glorious
larceny and we have no classification for that. The govern
ment goes to enormous expense and clutters up the issue for
years upon years before anvone faces the bar of justice, when
a gigantic theft is alleged. Steal a loaf of bread and you
are up the river in two days. Steal hundreds of millions and
you can travel the ocean of easy life for the rest of your days
without disturbance.
The present operations in Washington in relation to the
oil situation present a spectacle calculated to produce more
•Li ® vlßm than any insideous propaganda that could pos
sibly be conducted by the reds either in the open or secretly
Grave charges, and graver disclosures are twisted into politi
cal issues, each man scrambling for position, each man trying
to capitalize the situation for himself or for his party until
the performance has become disgusting. The issue has been
lost to sight. Everyone is beating the tom tom to lead the
public mind down a dozen side lanes.
The country has been told that the United States govern
ment has been robbed of property worth $200,000,000, and
that the robbery was made possible by the connivance of
some public officials and the bribery of others. If these be
facts, then there is a plain, straightforward American course
that can be pursued. Under the present system of probe
and side probe, charge and counter-charge, the issues will
drag along for years; so long, in fact, that the public with
its short memory will have forgotten all about the matter.
If the government in Washington does not know how to
approach the problem, let the readers of this newspaper
write to the President and ask him to call a Special Federal
Grand Jury. Ask him to have the evidence placed before
that Grand Jury and indictments obtained. Then the issue
can be tried in a prompt and orderly manner and the atmos
phere cleared at once. Doheny, Sinclair, Fall and anyone
else charged so openly with looting the American domain
surely will welcome such a course if as innocent as they in
sist, and if they are not, then the sooner they are brought to
Look the better.
The Michigan Supreme Court did well to uphold the right of the
State Normal School to expel one of its girl pupils for smoking cig
arettes. Unless we watch ourselves some high school girl will battle
for her right to carry a flask on the hip.
It has been suggested that the new campaign song will be

More than 35,000 visitors, from ev-
I cry state and clime, flowed into the
hub of the peach-growing country of
GeDrgia and partook of the festivities
in true holiday fashion, enraptured
with the scenes of beauty and awed at
the stupendousness of the whole af
i fair. Truly it was a gala occasion.
From the opening of the festivities
with the concert given by five en
larged bands on through the closing
event, the great historical pageant,
“The Peach of the World” the day
was crowded with delightful surprises
and entertainment deluxe.
The morning was devoted to music,
exhibition flights by army aviators,
an imposing parade of gorgeous
floats representing various cities of
Georgia, special drills by crack mili
tary companies and speeches by Ma
jor General David C. Shanks, com
mander fourth corps area U. h. A.,
and Governor Clifford Walker.
Promptly at noon an old-fashioned
barbecue was served. Planned to a
nicety, every guest was amply served
with precision and dispatch, denoting
careful planning and hard work on
the part of the committee in charge,
450 hogs, 25 cows, 50 lambs, 4,000
gallons of Brunswick stew, 5,000
loaves of bread and 3,000 gallons of
coffee were used in this mammoth
spread.
The entire afternoon was given
over to pageantry. ‘The Peach of
the World” depicting the modest be
ginning of this present-day king of
all fruit in the orient 2,000 years B.
C.; its gradual spread to Japan and
India, Persia, Greece, Italy and
France, England, Belgium, Holland
and Spain, Mexico and its final en
thronement in America occupied the
stage for more than three hours.
More than 700 persons blended their
talents in this artistic creation.
From the coronation of the king
and' ((men of peaebland on through
the final scene of the “Peach of the
Future,” episode followed episode in
