Cngregatinal Singing.
T The Herald.
Why Is u thwt the mdern ehurchei do
not have nurr* of the good o!d*tim« con
gregational singing? On yesterday I at
tended one of the central churches and
tile songs sung l.y the paid choir were
very good, hut those In which the con
gregation was Invited to Join were about
Ihe lament efforts I ever heard. Snugs
like. "Am I a Soldier of the Cross?"
"Rock of Ages" ntul numerous others
that I could mention are ra-rely. If ever,
sung In many of the modern up-to-date
churches of a cli.v. so I am told, and In
sletatl new faangleaj songs arc announced
which no one knows how to sing except
I ho choir. If. h\ chance an pld-fush
loned song Is announced the meter lias
been changed so that It is nnn-recog
nlteable. It strikes me that church at
tendance could he stimulated a great
deal by a return to the old songs and
*n genuine democracy In church affairs
In general. There Is a formality exist
ing in many of our leading churches
which Itotles no good for the usefulness
of the church. A stranger In the city
can a I tend some of the churches and
never get « crdial grasp of the hand In
welcome.

. BROADWAY.
JUST A PROTEST.
To the Herald:
Why is it that the county authori
ties will continue to permit such
places to run as "The Dip" and the
"Rueket of Blood?”
The new Savannah road is full of
drunken negroes who are a nuisance
to those who traverse that thorough
fare. and there are frequent fights in
those places which result in blood
shed and arwnetlmes murders. At the
"Rueket of Blood” one would natural
ly expect to find such characters as
“tlyp, the Blood," “Lefty Louie,” etc.,
that i» If I here Is anything in a nmae.
One of the principal business reas
ons w t\y they should broken up is be
cause they no doubt have a gang of
loafing negroes arpund them who
should lie at work jdoking cotton.
Then, too, I have no doubt but what
they harbor negroes who live on the
"service pan" tarried by negro women
who cook for the people of Augusta.
The people of this city are paying the
bills when these negroes are allowed
to loaf around such places.
There are probably olher "resorts"
t n the outside of the cltv limits that
are objectionable bot the two men
tioned have come tinder my observa
tion for some time.
DECENCY
How Some Clerks Criticise
To The Herald:
I read a few days since in "Speaking
the Public 3liud" column a letter from
a lady about Ihe habit of some clerks
in Augusta stores criticising cus
ton ers’ wearing apparel, looks and
general get-dp. 1 agree with the lady,
it Is time to call a halt to such ill
mannered demonstrations. There is en
tirely too much of this. Unfortunately,
the trouble does not stop at backbit
ing customers, but criticism is made
By Tad
of citizens in general In stores and
around the city. A peculiar thing Is
that most of these backbiters live In
glass houses, as the saying goes, hav
ing even worse defects than the de
famed person, or being related to
some person who is a black sheep in
society. Now this city will never
amount to anything until this back
biting is eradicated. It is high time
that Augustff should shed her village
garments and take up city ways. It
is going lo be a hard job to stamp out
this horrible crime of backbiting, but
it can be done if a determined effort
is made. It seetns as it' the merchants
should stort a crusade against it
Employers should not tolerate at
places of business, criticisms of cus
tomers or citizens. and our people
generally should discountenance such
a had habit, and plainly tell these
character assassins that the sooner
they hike from Augusta with their
little belongings the better it will be
for all concerned.

ARREST SUSPECTS FOR
SMUGGLING OF OPIUM
INTO THE CANAL ZONE
Panama. A number of arrests have
been made recently of persons chaise!
with the smuggling of opium into thn
Canal aone where the increasing use of
the drug by the canal workers is no
ticeable.
The source of the trouble is In the ad
joining territory of the Republic of Pan
ama. where no effort has yet been made
to prevent the importation and sale of
the drug. According to the canal au
thorities. Panama derives an annual
revenue of $20,000 from the opium trade,
the entire concession for which is leased
for this sum to Low Lam, a Chinaman.
While the Chinese on the isthmus are
the principal consumers of the drug, •11
the last everal months the West Indian
negro laborers on the canal have taken
to the habit, and it is feared that there
aVe soifte white employees who may be
come its victims. t
Pressure is being brought upon the
Panama government to prevent the im
portation of the drug. As long as Mai -h,
1912 the Panama Republic signed the
Hague convention for the suppression of
opium trade and hound itself to prevent
the importation of opium into her terri
tory. Since then, however, nothing 1: is
been done. In reply to the protests
from the Canal zone officials and Unit
ed States Minister Price. the Panama
government points out that the Hague
convention did not become binding until
all the signatory nations had ratified the
agreement.
Ernesto T. LeFevre. minister of for
eign relations, declares that just as soon
as all tlie other powers ratify the con
vention and begin enforcing it. Panama
will do the same. The contract with
the Chinaman. Low Lain, provides that
he must cease the sale and import iron
of the drug immediately upon ratifica
tion of the convention.
In the meantime, and in the absence
of any assistance from the Panama gov
ernment. the canal authorities are do
ing their utmost to keep the drug out of
the Canal zone.
