Anti-Conscriqtion Move
ment Wrong
We do not blame parents who
shudder at the thought of their
sons going to war in this or any
other country, and wish it were
otherwise, But we are in the
midst of a world war. England
and France and their allies are
fighting the battle of humanity
and the United States would be
recreant to her trust if she
faltered. The selective draft
law is the law of our land and
must be obeyed.
Through a perfectly naturtl
sympathy and love for their spns,
parents may be easily persuaded
that it is wrong to conscript
them and send them away. But
the political agitator who in
fluences the young [man to be'
come a slacker, not only gets this
young man into serious trouble,
but is playing into the hands Jot
his country’s enemy and be
comes, if not a traitor, at least
an ingrate.
They argue that this is not
our war—a wrong premise
When our rights upon the high
seas have been invaded and ,our
Five Speeches Sunday by
W. D. Upshaw
Wm. D. Upshaw, familliarly
known as the “Georgia Cyclone”
made five speeches in Douglas-
ville Sunday.
Mr. Upshaw is a former citizen
of Douglasvilie and while he has
delivered lectures from almost
every platform in America,
many of his former neighbors
had not heard him before.
He is a speaker of unusual
ability and those who heard him
Sunday are ready to admit that
he is truly a ‘‘cyclone when he
strikes at the demon, rum.
His first address was at the
Baptist Sunday school in the
morning. Subject: “The Girl
who Knew Her S. S. Lesson.”
At 11 o’clock he bpokeon “Bu?R
ness and Religion.” At 3 p. .m,
he addressed the East Douglas-
ville Sunday school on “Pluck
and Purpose.” At 4 p. m. he
spoke, at the colored Baptist
church on the acrostic B. Y. P.
Q. “Back Your Pastor Up,” em
phasizing the difference between
the counterfeit and the genuine.
At 8:30 at a Union Service at
the Baptist church. Mr. Upshaw,
who was introduced by Rev. J.
C. Atkinson, in a most eloquent
and patriotic talk discussed “A
Stainless Flag for America.”
At the close of the Sunday
night service the following reso
lution was adopted:
Whereas, it has been deemed
expedient to get prompt action
on the food control bill, to ex
empt wines and beer from the
war time prohibition, and
Whereas, the temperance
workers, for patriotic reasons,
have deferred to the President’s
wishes to expedite needful legis-
lation, be it resolved by the
church people of Douglasvilie,
Ga,, in a union meeting July 8,
1917. That, in view of the fact
that wines and beer and ait kinds
of intoxicants, consume large
quantities of fruits and food stuff
and debauch mankind, Congress
be urged to pass a seperaie bill
including these intoxicants in
Wartime Prohibition.

citizens ruthlessly murdered, we
could only be branded as cow
ards if we failed to resent it
with all pur might.
There might have been a ques
tion before the passage of the
law as to the best methods of
raising the necessary army, and
discussions were then entirely
proper, but with the law enacted,
our country in the midst of. war,
our liberties chalieged by an
enemy, it is not only highly im
proper but exceedingly disloyal
to question our country’s rights
in the matter.
The military greed of the
central powers is unbounded.
Belgium has been ruthlessly
overrun and were it possible for
Germany and Austria to conquer
the other European countries,
the United States would be the
next theatre of war and with
the combined navies of the world
we would be about as helpless as
Belgium was.
Let us rally to our allies; help
them smite the enemy of civili
zation and when victory is wop
will have our share in the hohors
of helping to perpetuate democ
racy and civilization

Why NotHave
Perfect Lenses?
Improvements and better
ments in glasses are just as
frequent as in anything else.
Until a few years ago all
lenses were flat, because no
one had thought of a better
way to make them.
Today nearly 90 per cent of
lenses fitted are Toric lenses,
curved to follow the shape of
the eyeball.
Tories give a perfect range of vis
ion from every angle—the edges do
not confuse you when looking from
the corner of the eye.
Let us demonstrate the many ad
vantages of Tories made by us.
