MONDAY, AUGUST 17 ONE WE FOR 1,200 GERMANS HI HAELEN Stretch of Harrowed Ground Half Furlonq in Length Describ ed. Church Spire Tumbled Over,. Town Clock a Wreck Biplane Swept Above Scene of Wednesday’s Carnage. 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. Still at Work. “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 \ illage is harshly scarred. Its houses are pierced with bullet holes. Hardly 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 bor Day, under the auspices of the 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 sand people are expected to take pari, will be “the” event of the forenoon. In the afternoon there will be any number of attractions, chief among 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. (Signed) F. R. JONES, Manager Nat E.

Bruges Prison. “Later I visited the Burges prison, where 400 Germans are held. I never before saw men sleep as these men did. They lay like logs after seven days and nights of almost constant duty on the field of battle. These prisoners are no cowards. They sur rendered only when no other course was possible. They were victims of the German military system which drills men out of all independence.’ them being horse racing, professional championship motorcycle racing, bar becue, and athletic contests for men and boys and some for young ladies, all to be held at the Fair Grounds.

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. Society OBSOLETE.

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. WM. 11. FLEMING.

In concluding her article, which is directed to Pres ident Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Harris said: “Those crowned heads, all at wnr, will pause for a moment to weep with you—weeping, they will think, and thinking, they will pray—and when they pray there will be hope for peace.
