London, 5:30 a, m. —A trip over the
battlefield of Diest, Belgium, is de
scribed by the Brussels correspondent
of the Dally News. Ho says:
“I remember best a brown stretch
of harrowed ground, half a furlong in
length, which is the grave of 1,200
Germans who fell in the fighting on
Wednesday. All over the field are
other graves, some of Germans, some
of Belgians and some of horses.

“When I reached the place peasants
with long spades were still engaged
in the work of burial. The battle
ground is about three miles long, with
the village of Haelen at one end. The

LABOR DAY CELEBRATION
BIG THING FOR AUGUSTA
Local Labor Organizations
Sparing No Time or Energy
to Make the Day a Success.
This city has never before seen
such a magnificent celebration —grand
parade, athletic contests, etc.—as w'll
be given here on September 7th, La

Augusta Federation of Trades.
The local labor organizations are
sparing no time and energy to make
the event one that will equal if not
surpass any occasion of the kind that
has ever been held in this part of the
country.
The parade, in which there will be
many beautiful floats representing the
various crafts and in which five thou

ANDERSON'S ATTACKS ON
HARRIS ARE ONFOONDED
To the People of Georgia :
Macon, Ga., Aug. 16, 1914.
J. Randolph Anderson realizes Dr. Hardman is hopelessly beaten
in the race for Governor. He makes no attack on Dr. Hardman
or his record.
J. Randolph Anderson realizes he himself is hopelessly beaten
in the race for Governor. With the recklessness that comes of de
spair he makes attacks on Judge Nat E. Harris, and his record
that have no foundation in fact.
He charges Judge Harris with an attempt, thirty-two years
ago, to raise the legal rate of interest from 8 to 12 per cent. The
fact is that the legal rate at that time was 7 per cent. The bill
referred to sought to give the people of Georgia the right to make
contracts at a rate up to 12 per cent
A lawyer who doesn’t know the difference between the legal
rate and a contract rate is either trying to mislead the people or
he has not knowledge enough to be Governor. Perhaps J. Randolph
Anderson will learn the difference by t'he time he is 68 years
young.
J. Randolph Anderson charged that Judge Harris’ vote against
the Ray fertilizer bill thirty-two years ago was a vote against the
farmers.
If the bill was so good for the farmers, why has not this leg
islator of ten years’ service, who has become the friend of the
farmer since he offered as a candidate for Governor, offered and
had passed a similar bill? Why has not Dr. Hardman done so?
Is it not because they know the farmers would oppose it now as
they did then?
Judge Harris voted with the majority for the farmers in 1883.
■Why did J. Randolph Anderson Join with eighteen other representa
tives in 1812 and vote against the bill to prohibit injurious fillers
in fertilizers? House Journal, 1912, pp. 949-942. If Judge Harris
is subject to criticism for voting against a defective bill In 1883,
what must be said of J. Randolph Anderson, who voted against a
perfectly good bill to protect the farmers against defective ferti
lizers in 1912 ?
J. Randolph Anderson charges that Judge, Harris is "almost
constitutionally incapable of making up his mind and taking any
positive, decided stand on any question where feeling or Influence
Is brought to bear on both sides of it" And for that reason made
a failure as a Judge, and, therefore, did not offer for re-election.
The people of the Macon Circuit can testify to the baseless
ness of the allegations of this charge. Judge Harris tried all cases
brought before him and held up his decision In only one case, and
that for only six days. In his six months' tenure he tried over 309
cases, several went to the higher courta and he was reversed in
none. He attended faithfully to all the work of the circuit and
could have been overwhelmingly elected to the office If he had de
slred to keep It.
The people who know and love Judge Harris will punish at the
polls this outrageous personal attack by a younger man upon a
loyai, Just and upright veteran.

JOS.S. REYNOLDS FOR CONGRESS
WM. H. FLEMING WRITES CARD
TO the Editor of The Herald:
Sir: When a man becomes a candi
date for public office, the people have
the right to know all phases not only
of his public, but also of his private,
character that in any way qualify or
disqualify him to properly represent
them in the honorable place he seeks.
After critical inspection of the char
acter of Hon. Jos. S. Reynolds by his
political opponents, It appears that
the only disqualification they have
been able to trump up against him,
is based on his religious status. They
say he is not enough of a Protestant.
What are the facts?
For many years I have known Mr.
Reynolds as a consistent member and
a deacon in the First Presbyterian
Church of Augusta; and only recently
be became one of the charter mem
bers of the new Presbyterian church
on the Hill, where he lives.
I knew he had always been a lib
eral contributor to the usual expenses
of our chui’ch, and also to our charity
work; but during those years, 1 did
not know, what I learned on yester
day from an officer of our church,
that Mr. Reynolds had been contrib
uting annually, the sum of S6OO to
maintain a Protestant missionary ip
the foreign field. Can either of his
opponents or any of his critics, match
that splendid record, made so modest
ly by him that his close friends were
not aware of it ?
But they say Mr. Reynolds married
a Catholic girl. Yes he did —just ex
actly what he ought to have done.

in£ AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA
What red-blooded, true-hearted young
man in Georgia, would let a church
creed stand between him and the wo
man whose love he had won?
Only those who never had the priv
ilege of seeing that beautiful girl, and
hearing her sweet voice In the church
choirs of our city, Protestant as well
as Catholic, could fail to understand
why Joe lost his heart. Having gone
that far, he would have been much
less of a man, than l know him to lie,
had he failed to follow where beauty
and love and , loyalty called him.
But a man’s love is one thing, and
his religious convictions and politi
cal principles are quite other things.
Mr. Reynolds still remains a deacon
in the Presbyterian Church —one of
the strictest of the Protestant denom
inations.
But after all what merit Is there In
the charge? There is at present no
crisis between Protestantism and
Catholicism in the Tenth District, or
in Georgia, that requires or justifies
the raising of such an issue for or
against Mr. Reynolds. Let life hope
no such crisis will ever come, but
rather let us trust that modern civil
ization has advanced too far toward
freedom of thought and common sense
to permit the revival or resurrection
of those old medieval conflicts of re
ligious fanaticisms.
As for myself, I shall vote for this
Presbyterian deacon with a clear con
sconce, and with absolute confidence
in the man.

they pray there will be hope for
peace. God moves in a mysterious
