Thursday, September 10 Speaking ... THE ... Public Mind ABOUT RETAIL CLERKS’ FLOAT. Augusta, Ga., Sept. S, 1914. To The Herald: We kindly ask that you make a cor rection in regard to the float of the Retail Clerks’ Union in the Labor Day parade. In your description, in Monday's edition of the Herald, under the heading “The Painters,” same was described as a high structure of white cheese cloth being drawn by thirty six painters. That was an error. The float was drawn by a beautiful pair ot white horses, which were driven by the girl on the front of float. Ninety-eight per cent of the Retail Clerks' Union is composed of ladies, who certainly do not propose for the painters to bear the honor of putting on one of the prettiest floats in the parade. The majority of the Retail Clerks are employed by Silver’s 5 and 10c Store, and to them and the window decorator of said store, all credit for the float, .which was so inadequately described, is due. Thanking you in advance for mak ing the correction as requested, Respectfully submitted. Retail Clerks’ International Pro tective Association, Local 1311, per N. Wilson, Recording Secretary. Making an Ally of God. To The Herald: Were it not so solemn and serious a matter, it were verily comical—the effort of the various nations of Europe now en gaged in a horrible and wicked war, all seeking to secure for themselves ihe power and the interference of Almighty God! The Germans pray that He may be “on their side,” and the Austrians and the Russians and the Engiish and all the rest of them do the same—they pray that He may be 'on their side.” Whereupon reflecting, 1 am reminded of what our good President Lincoln once remarked to a delegation of the clergy who, during the darkest days of our great rebellion, called on him and said: “Mr. President, we hope God is on our side.” And the great President re plied: "Gentlemen, I am not so much concerned to know whether God is on our side as to know whether we are on God’s side.” During the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 the same strange thing occurred — both sides praying to God. The old Emperor was undoubtedly a man of great piety and faith, as ids dispatches from the field do abundantly show —a fact which tlie cartoonists of the day were not slow to seize upon, as shown in a famous cartoon in Harper's after the battle of Sedan, the text reading: “Forty thousand Frenchmen sent below; praise God, from whom all blessings flow!’' ' When one thinks of these unfortunate people all praying to God for victory, one wonders what has become of that bless ed injunction: "Love your enemies and pray for them that persecute you.” rid I am reminded in this connection of a conversation between two old Scotch women, during one of the wars between France and Great Britain years ago. raid one of the gossips: “I do hope Vpray God will gte’ the victory to our land, for we are a pious folk and pray so much." And then said the other: “Aye, but canna the French pray as weel as we?" “Them pray!” was the an swer; “hoot, jabberin' bodies! Wha could unnerstan’ them?” For one thing. I am surely much puz zled to know how a so-called Christian nation can have the face to ask the blessing of Almighty God to rest on its arms when its airships drop bombs of horrid destruction on innocent women and children. It does seem to me that a nation of that kind must have the de vil for its God, and that such a minister should he run out of this land as being a disgrace to his calling and a shame to the starry flag that floats over his un worthy head. No. I doubt much whether God Al mighty can be drawn into the unholy quavrels and abominable butcheries of the devil-possessed people on the other side of the water. They will just have to fight it out among themselves with out any help from God. But what I be lieve God Will do is this—He will over rule their wickedness and folly for good. Good will come out of it all some way or other. God brings day out of night, light out of darkness, life out of death, good out of evil. For “He maketh the wrath of the wicked to praise Him, and the remainder of wrath will He re- CIVIL WAR VETERAN. A Sticker for British Rights. To The Herald: Will you, or some of your readers, kindly Inform me if any nation on this habitable globe today can be correctly designated England? If so, where is it located? R. F. H. HOLD COTTONSEED. Editor Herald: In your editorial of yesterday, the 7th Inst., in which you advise the far mers to hold their cottonseed for higher prices, you have done a great service. At the present price of meal and hulls the farmers are not getting for seed -what they should get. If 'the oil mills sell their products at prices in keeping with the price they are paying for seed, there would be little room for complaint, hut they are not doing this. Nobody objects to the oil mills making a reasonable profit on their products, but the peo ple at large dislike to see the farmer robbed out of one of the most valuable products grown. There should oe gome means provided to protect the farmer from sacrificing their cotton seed. It is true that many farmer’s throughout the oountry are forced to sell their cottonseed now aa soon as the cotton is ginned, as they are com pelled to have a little money to bridge them over until there is a better mar ket for cotton. And the mills know this, and are therefore offering only the lowest price possible for cotton seed. The oil mills when they were first being established throughout the country were considered a great bless ing to the county at large, because they gave the farmers a price for cot tonseed In keeping with the prices they sold their products at. But such Is not the case today. They are buying cottonseed far below Its value, taking the prices in consideration, that they are selling oil, meal and hulls at. Let the farmers heed the advice given In your editorial of yes terday. not to sell cottonseed at the present prices. If cottonseed Is worth no more than the present price that Is being offered bv the mills, then oil, meal and hulls should likewise decrease In pries There should not be such a wide dif ference In the price of the crude prod ucta and the manufactured products. Let the oil mill* do the fair thing by the farmer In this matter, by giving them a price for cottonseed tn keep ing with their manufactured produtes. C. EL ATKINSON. Harlem, Ga.
