MOUNTAIN PEOPLE
Notable Rally Held Satur
day in Murray
County.
Eton, Murray County, Georgia, Aug,
16.—One of the most notable and suc
cessful rallies for education ever held
In north Georgia occurred here Sat
urday forenoon and', afternoon under
the auspices nf the Junior Order of
Amorlcan Mechanic*. Several hundred
persons from Eton and the surround
ing mountain*"come In for the occasion
and the meeting, wjilch lasted prac
tically nil day nnd was held In tho
open air, has done much to stimulate
Interest In education, and In the fine
new 34,000 school house thnt Is now
being creeled by this mountain town,
which only hu* some 300 or 400 In
habitants.
Dr. 8. A. Brown, member of the leg
islature from Murray county, whose
work for tho passage of the atatc com
pulsory education bill was notable In
the past session, presided over the
great meeting nnd made an address.
Dr. Brown Is chnlrman of the board of
education for Eton and hn* been the
moving spirit In the erection of tho
new building, which Is Indebted to him
also for large gifts of money.
Excellent addresses were made by
Major Hci'ry, of Dalton, former mem
ber of the state legislature; Rev. Luke
Johnson, of Augusta, chairman of the
hoard of education for the North Geor
gia conference; Rev. A. H. Nanney
and Tom lllll, of Eton; Mr*. John King
ottley and Mrs. Emma Garret Boyd,
of Atlanta, and Profeesor Earnest, ,of
the State Normal school. All of the
addresses were warmly received by the
nudlenoe and frequent reference* were
made to the need of better school
houses, better paid und educated teach
er*. and the Immediate need of com
pulsory school attendance for the stute.
Among the mountaineers who had
come down for the rally were a num
ber who could not themselves rend and
write, and they were among the warm
est sympathisers with the speakers.
The address of State School Com
missioner Pound, who has won recog
nition as one of the ablest speakers on
educntlon In the South today, was
bHmful of fact, und yet delivered In
a way that reached every person In
the audience. He showed, among oth
er things, that Georgia was paying out,
for the education of her children only
one-one hundredth of what her agri
cultural products alone brought In;
that her slate school teachers got an
annual salary (hot. pro rated by
months, amounted to no more than
negro cooks could obtain, when the
value of their board was counted, and
that the great bulk nf the teachers em
ployed In Georgia today who "had a
common school educntlon alone could
get no better training than a town boy
hnd had by the time he was ten, when
he should have finished four or five
years of nine months schooling, which
amounted to ns much ns the seven
years' term of five month* In the
country districts. The rally was fol
lowed by an old-fashioned basket din
ner.

Speaking earnestly on “Modern Sla
very.” maintaining thqj the spirit of
fatalism taught by the philosophy of
Omar Khayyam Is In error and that
“the power of one man’s personality
may change the tendency of the times
or the spirit of the age,” Dr. John
Roach Straton delivered a powerful
sermon before a large nnd attentive
congregation at the Ponce DeLeon
3 Baptist church Sunday morning.
J "The life story ot Moses” was the
[chief illustration used by Dr. Straton
to show that modern slavery—the sla
very of commercialism, of the liquor
traffic, of Ignorance—Is not the out
growth of an uncombatable movement,
but that It.can be fought, and fought
successfully, by those Christians that
are willing to emulate the example of
Moses In hla struggle for the freedom
of Israel.
