FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27. Speaking ... THE... Public Mind To The Herald: Perhaps the attention of the reader may have been attracted by the As sociated Press report of the murder of Mr. A. A. Boggs and his 18-year old daughter In their country place in Miami, Fla., and the subsequent burn ing down of the big house on the night of November 24th. It is presumed that the deed was done by burglars and that they burned down the house to hide the crime. The report says Bimply: “Mrs. Boggs is visiting at Lake Placid, N. Y,” It is about this poor lady that I write. How must a woman feel -who loses all of a sudden her husband, her only (laughter, whom she had nursed and cherished and guarded as her life, and at the same stroke her home, with all of the associations 6f her past? How must she feel to think that these were taken from her needlessly, ruth lessly, brutally, by violence? This thing happened day before yesterday. If your mind can attempt to grasp the tragedy of that woman's situa tion. it can follow me into the story which I have to tell. There is one lady in London who has taken into her house twenty-six Belgian ladies, refu gees from the war. Not one of these ladies has a male relative whom she knows to be alive. Many of them are separated from young children whom they are unable to trace in the unspeakable chaos of the times. Not one of them has a home. They are denied even a place to go and mourn if they break under the frantic rest lessness that is worse than despafr. They have nothing. And these are not common women, who might be stunned and stupified. .They are women of highly strung l nerves and frail constitutions. They ’ are the old princesses of the ruined pal aces of Liege, Namur and Louvaine; the lovely matrons of Brussels who used to flirt with the young oficers at the Court Ball. They will never even find a grave to plant a flower on. The women who remember the Civil War will understand. England has taken these people in. English homes are full of those tragio women, dressed In borrowed black, who sit in the silent rooms with their hands folded in their laps, waiting— for what? Some of them are able to help with the wounded in the hospi tals, others as Interpreters for the hundreds of Belgian peasants who sleep on the floors of the public build ings. When you sit at your bountiful table today, and give thanks, let your mind dwell for a moment on those women. You can do nothing for them. But you can help the English feed and clothe the poor wretches who used to be their tenants, the Belgian peasants who sleep on the floors of the public buildings. The English have got enough on their hands. Ireland and the War. To The Herald- Being Interested in the reply of Mr. P. J. Callahan to “B. L.” regarding the status of Ireland in the present war in Europe and the sympathy express ed by a discontented few for the suc cess of German arms in conquering the Allies and invading England which would include Ireland too I am think ing with her countless hordes of won derfully trained soldiers and admir able organizations of artillery arma ment, the yoke would be more galling under the military autocracy of Ger man rule than the English yoke and “Home Rule’’ would then be a dream of the past, and as for ignoring the Germans after once in possession of fii—■immii ■ iiiiviwrft-T tl .xo i*y.v— +S££iJZ3vjmJkMKm l T ■* l\c Q ■ * •>#; ».

Mr. Callan speaks of resisting the German foe though the universal race of Irishmen scattered over the v. orld — and at home—without organization, finances or a navy! What a beautiful illusion! to imagine you can drive the enemy out of Ireland after once In con trol and why has not this been done before as to regards of English domi nation? No, sir! history tells us the “Sons of Ireland’’ have always been loyal and true to England and have always been found in tlie Van when any fighting has to be done and have proved them selves on manya battlefield to be Eng land’s forlorn hope—not forgetting the brave Scots —and will always con tinue so despite what agitators may say to the contrary, and as for in flicting religion into the controversy, I will say that “Catholic Ireland” is as loyal as the “Orange Protestants,” and In the lißt of distinguished Protestant patriots of Ireland who have fought for “Irish freedom and Home Rule," you should have included Parnell uni Redmond. Truly yours, W. S. CLARKE, North Augusta, S. C. THE A. A. RATE CASE. To The Herald. We are reading much about the doubling of the fare to Aiken by the trolley company, and the protests from here and intermediate stations, also of the appeal to the railroad commission. If this road is not owned by the South- ern railway, as the parallel lines are owned by the New- Yofk and New Haven railway, wouldn't it be a good thing for Augusta merchants to give free transportation to their customers over the Southern to Aiken and inter mediate stations? This will bring the trolley managers to their senses when they realize the falling off of their traffic. The Southern, if not a party to this raise in trolley rates, might be in duced to lower its return rates and probably run an extra by virtue of the increased traffic. PRO BONA PUBLICO. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 25, 1914. FROM THE KIDS’ POINT OF VIEW. To The Herald. What Is the matter with the men on the board of education? Why hava they become such hard taskmasters that they want to make little children go to school and study when their Christmas toys are still new and un broken? They know nothing of child nature if they think a little child can put his mind on lessons three days after Christmas. Are these men jo hardened that (he spirit of Christmas cannot enter into them and make them want to give the children pleasure at this time, which is so especially a children’s festival? The work the children do this week will not amount to much attend ance will be poor and the children who attend will not be in the right frame of mind for work. And even if all the children were forced to come, would the little reading, writing and ’rithmetic they learn be worth the dis appointment and unhappiness caused by the loss of holidays? Why can't the hoard look at things from the child's point of view? K. V. Z. Wants Names of Farmers. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 25. 1914. 834 Stahlman lildg.
