In any community there are those who lift and those who lean, those who help and those who profit from the help of others. Some try to make the city better and others are content to enjoy the fruits resulting from the care and efforts of others. The Socialists talk about the “unearned increment’* meaning that property an individual has which was made of value because of the work of others. The moral and social unearned increment is that which makes the life in the community more desirable, but which we did not help to create. Thos who strive to make the community better are en titled to the enjoyment of the better life possible there. There are kickers and knockers everywhere and they have their certain value in community work; but the indiffer ent and careless are less creditable from a community standpoint. We all have a responsibility for the condition of those al>out us and must give of our ability or energy to help make it all better. t In-so-far as we have any influence, it should be used for the elevation and preservation of high community standards. iNetos VrUllQi irv Re* fit 11 n. m. and 8.16 p. m.

As they were netiher sold nor re turned, however, the matter came be fore tlie Tribunal, which decided thnt they should be [laced In the Carnava let Museum [lending judgment. Augusta Church News At a Glance R«v. A. D. Echols Given Purse by His Church. Rev. A. J). Echols, pastor of the Asbury Methodist church, has been given a handsome purse and asked to take a va cation. He left Monday of last week for Cnaleska, N. C., where he will spend several days at the summer conference of his church. Mr. Echols Is closing up his fourth year at Asbury and Is very popular with his church. The gift and the vacation came as a surprise to him. He ha* work ed hard to make things go at Asbury, and It was very gratifying to him to re ceive such a testimony of love and es teem frotn his people. Mr. Echols hopes to return In time to hold the regular services next Hunday. For today the Sunday school will have charge of the morning hour. The Su perintendent and the teachers will con duct the service, a good time Is an ticipated The Woman's Missionary So ciety will conduct the evening services. The program will he participated In by all the societies of the church. An In teresting program ha* been arranged. Rev. W. T. Hamby Gone to North Carolina. Rev. W T. Hamby, presiding elder of the Augusta district of the Methodist Church, South, has gone to Unaleska, N. f\. nnd will hr out of the city for some time returning to 'take charge of th« camp meetings. Dr. Hamby left for his • summer, vacation In the best of spirits. It has been a good year for his churches, most of which lias had good meetings an.l met nil local and conference claims. He feels confident that this section and city will make an excellent showlg at the an nual conference In November. Rev. W. R. Waugh on Vacation. Rev. W. B. Waugn, pastor of the North Augusta Baptist ohnrch. left Monday for Ids summer vacation. Tils church gave him a month’s leave and he will spend the time at Forsyth, Ga.. with his wife’s people. While out of the city the mem bers of the church will have charge of all services, nnd they are eager to have a good attendance. Mr. Waugh will not return till the last of the month. Camp Meetings to Begin Third Bunday. This is the season for camp meetings. Most of the churches over the rural sec tions have had their sen son of revival, and are now looking forward to a few weeks of the old-time tent meetings. The first to he held in this district is that at the Fountain Camp Ground. It will be gin on Friday night before the third Hunday and will continue for a week. Preparations are going forward to make this one of the best meetings in the history of old Fountain Camp Ground. Rev. W. T. Hamby, presiding elder of this district, has arranged to have a splendid array of local preachers who will conduct the services from day to day. Among the preachers you know are: Rev. J. P. Erwin, pastor of the Methodist church of Washington, Ga.; Rev. J. O. Bmn*V* pastor of Woodlawn Methodist churtuf; iiev. J. F. Roberts, pastor of St. Methodist churcfh; Rev. W. T. Hamby, presiding elder, all of t Augusta. Rev. B. F. Mize, Thom son. Ga.. and Rev. W. R. England, Hear ing. Ga. The White Oak Camp Meeting will be gin on Friday night before the fourth Sunday and will close within a week. For this meeting Dr. Hamby has ar ranged to have Bishop Collins Denny, of Richmond, Va., to preach at least once a day. The other ministers who will take part are: Rev. H. L. Edmonson, of Newnan, Ga.; Rev W. B. Dillard, pastor of St. James Methodist church, Augusta; Rev. J. H. Mashburn, of Thomson, Ga.; Rev. Ru M. Twiggs, of Harlem, Ga.; and Rev. B. F. Mize, of Thomson, Ga. It Is always refreshing to attend a camp meeting. It remains one of the good old days when our fathers wor shiped under bush arbors, and sung and shouted the praises of the God they loved. Of late years the camp meetihg has too often been turned into a Chautauqua, and its Influence as a religious force largely neutralized. Dr. Hamby is doing his beat to revive the people of his district, and it is felt that the camp meetings of this summer will go far towards accomplish ing that purpose. Of course the camp meetings are for every one and many from Augusta and other places will go. It will be a pity if they go not to help make the meetings a genuine success. The country needs a revival of religion. If history moves in circles, it may be that the camp meet ings of our day will again awaken the people to a sense of their duty to Go 1 and themselves. Dr. Hamby wishes al! the people to he in prayer for the ser vices. Rev. O. P. Gilbert at Warthen, Ga. Rev. O. P. Gilbert, pastor of the Sec ond Baptist church, has been assisting in a series of meetings at Warthen, Ga.. a town on the Augusta Southern Railroad. The meetings were begun last Sunday by the pastor. Rev. Raymond Rigdon, and closed Friday night. The congregations were large despite the rain, and a num ber was added to the church. Mr. Gil bert has returned to the city and will preach today at the regular hours of service. Mr. Gilbert says this Is the first sum mer since he his been pastor of the Second church that he has remained close about home. His church gives him an annual vacation, but the church is try ing to liquidate its debts, and he feels it his duty to do all he can toassist. It Is thought that the church w-ill be out of debt by the time the association meets at Spread In October. The Sunday Schools and Athletics. For the first time In the history of the August a churches the Sunday schools have had baseball. A number of the Ba raca classes organized a league In the beginning of the sen son. Each team has had its officers and Its players all of the class they represented. The ryles gov erning the teams were such ns to make sure thnt all questionable conduct would be barred from the teams and the grounds. The season Is almost out, and It is said that the teams have contrib uted largely to the splendid showing made by the different schools of the city, as the attendance has been larger this summer than usual. It is evident that the teams will have no opposition next spring when the time comes to re-organize. For in addition to the young fellows It has kept in the Hunday schools during the hot months, it has brought the hoys closer togetehr, and helped them much in a moral way. The boys who have taken part in the games find themselves stronger In every way. and will keep the teams going through the sumer. Rev. Charles E. Hutchens, of Sylvanla. Rev. Charles E. Hutchens, formerly pastor of Hvlvanla Bantlst church, has been called to the Woodlawn Baptist church, and will take tip his work there at once. The action of the church in We all have a responsibility; there is no credit in shift ing that responsibility or in avoiding our part in the work. In every community the churches are doing their share more than their share-to preserve what we have and to carry the banner of improvement a little farther on-make condi tions constantly better. , Do we all appreciate to what extent we could help? If twice as many people were found in church each Sunday, it would be easier to carry the load of church work, and it would be possible to make the church work more ef fective. If some of our people are pulling the wrong way, are careless of their duties, or indifferent to local needs, it only proves a deplorable lack of an understanding of life. We are our brothers keeper-and we shall give an ac count for our attitude toward that which affects him. The work is important and each individual has re sponsibility for a personal participation in it. The leaders of the upward movement in this community are anxious to accomplish the best work possible-they are calling for volunteers to help-they ask you to assist-what is your answer? conference last Sunday was unanimous, and brings to the city a young man well fitted for the work. Mr. Hutchins has been pastor of the church at Bylvania for A number of years, and he did a great service there. Recently he lost hi* only child and he and Mrs. Hutchens felt that they couid not remain longer. Mr. Hutchens re signed and has been resting at Norwood, Ga. This makes It possible for him to come to Augusta at once and begin work In his new field. Mr. Hutchens Is well prepared for the work of the ministry. He is a graduate of Mercer University and of the Southern Baptist Seminary. He is a young man of large vision and purpose. His coming to Woodlawn Baptist church is hailed with delight by a number of his friends and school mates. TO ABOLISH SOCIAL TESTS AND PAY HIGHER WAGES London.—lt la asserted there is a strong possibility. If the Liberal party remains in power, of measures being taken to make British diplomats and army officers more representative of the democracy by abolishing social tests and paying higher salaries to those in the lower grades. The tradition which now limits ap pointments in the diplomatic service to young men from the nobility and aristocracy, and which requires a pri vate income of $2,000, has already been severely attacked by Liberal newspapers and reviews, on the ground that this rule produces a corps of gilded society butterflies without ability in practical affairs. The whole British diplomatic service, in fact, has been undergoing a siege of unfriend ly criticism, not only from outsiders hut from its own ranks as well. Arthur Ponsonby, Member of Par liament, who spent more than eight years in the diplomatic service, testi fied before the Royal Commission which has been investigating the ser vice, that some posts, as at Copen hagen ,he often had not more than half an hour of work a day, and he thought this was a common exper ience of men in the smaller embassies and legations, He declared that most of the mem bers of the diplomatic service of other countries have a better educa tion that the English from Eton and Oxford. “There is no profession in which a woman figures so prominently as in diplomacy,” he added. “The wife of a diplomatist is an extremely import ant person, and under the present system with its enforced exile our young dlplomatss very often marry foreigners. In a certain embassy the wives of the staff consist of two Ital ians, one Spaniard, one Swede and one German. And that Is a British embassy.” LACK OF NATIONALISM IN AMERICAN PAINTERS; CLAIM London.—American planters lack nationalism; they are content to im itate the French; their one ideal is prettiness and often prettiness with ot meaning, according to some of the criticisms passed by British experts on a large and representative col lection of American art which has been on .lew in a gallery here. The one thing they find to praise is what one critic terms the “high level 01 technical excellence.” Eliminating a half dozen paintings of cowboy scenes, prairies and sky scrapers, this critic dectlares “the rest might well be an exhibition of French pitcures, and those better by far than may he Tound In the Beaux of Arts. Nor is there any individual development of Frencn impulses. iMr roots of American art are not fixed in its own soil but in Montparnassre.” SUNDAY, AUGUST 9. curious ns of urns Brother of Private Secretary of King of Albany Tells of His Amusing Experiences. London.—Jack Heaton Armstrong, whose brother. Captain Heaton Arm strong, is private secretary to the king of Albania, has Just returned to London after a stay of several weeks In Albania, during which he accom panied the loyalist force of Prenk Bid Doda on its march from Alessio to wards Durrazzo. Mr. Armstrong, a debonair, monacled young English man, commanded the "Prenk's” artil lery, consisting of one Austrian moun tain gun. The "Prenk,” who ia ft Mirdite chief and, according to Mt. Armstrong, a most polished gentleman, set out from Alessio at the head of about a thousand of his own tribe and an equal number of Malissori to go to the relief of the king, besieged in his capital. The first objective was the rebel stronghold of Ishmi, where a few' shells from the mountain gun soon cleared the rebels out of the town. Curloue. “It w r as curious,” said Mr, Arm strong, “how' the gun was a sort of fetish to the Albanians. The rebels would never stand shell fire, while our ow'n men would run to me for the gun on the slightest excuse. My eye glass was an object of great interest to them. They believed it was essen tia! to the working of the gun, and I did not dispel the illusion, hut kept the glass in my eye whenever an Albanian was in sight. Every emotion the Aliianian experiences is expressed in wdld shooting. Sad or glad, angry or elated, he fires off his rifle. But one could not get them to advanca against trenches. At Malcuchi, w'here the force ultimately disbanded, a few shells from the gun cleared the reb els out of their positions, but our men remained in the valley expending thousands of rounds of ammunition In mere noise. There to Fight. “tVhen I dismounted the gun to wards evening, and on Prenk Bid Doda’s advice retired with It, a panic set in from no apparent cause, the enemy reoccupied their trenches, and nearly all our force disappeared. I then determined to get the gun into Durazzo by sea If possible. I sent out a boat, which reported that there were no signs of the enemy, and then set out myself in the leading boat with the gun and two other boats following with the ammunition. At the narrowest part of the channel the boat ran aground and the Albanian oarsmen assuring me they had come out to fight and not to work stopped rowing. In the end I had to get out up to my armpits in water and pull our boat off the shoal with a rope. Finally we got to Schllnza and thence by a sailing ship to Durazzo.
