A FAITHFUL SOLDIER WAS MR.
BURT O. MILLER.
To Tlx- Herald:
In The llerald'n notice of the death
of our lamented fellow citizen, Mr.
Hurt O. Miller, there la an error in
I the account of his career as a (ion
federate aoldior in placing him In the
Army of Northern Virginia. It is
true that during the first year of the
war he was In the First (leorgli Reg
iment, a part of whose service was In
Weal Virginia. When (he term of
that regiment's enlistment, one year,
expired, Mr. Miller became a member
of the company of ('aptaln Kdwln W.
Analey (who wan killed at Murfrees
boro) of Cox’s (afterwards Whlteley'a)
.battalion of ■harp-shooters, ills ser
vice for Ibree years of the war was
In the Army of Tennessee. I can re
call many occasions on the march and
on Ihe field, when I have seen hiR
slight but soldierly figure always In
the place of duty. The Confederacy
had no more faithful soldier lhau Burt
O, Miller.

WHY THIS DISCRIMINATION?
Augusta, Or., December IS, 1914.
To the editor of Herald,
Augusta, Ga.
I noticed In this morning's Chronicle
that Assistant Chief Battle on yester
day carried the city’s fire fighting ap
paratus to North Augusta and assisted
in extinguishing a fire at the home of
A 11. McDaniel; us a lax payer I would
| like to know hy what authority tills
! was done. As a matter of fact 1 believe
it has occurred on seieral other oc
casions. While It Is commendable that
we assist our neighbors In limes of
distress. It Is not commendable that the
lax payers pay the freight and our
neighbors reap the benefit. Especially
Is lids true when the lieneftrtartes of
I our generosity do not contribute- not
being measured by-the Somers' system,
to the maintenance of our fire de
partment And again why this dis
crimination. During the Barrett ad
ministration and before annexation the
people of Summerville were called up
on to pay (he city of Augusta $2,500.9(1
annuaili for the prlvelege of calling
upon Its fire department In case of
need, provided the fire department was
not tn use by the city of Augusta.
Will the mayor, members of council
.r the civil service commission kindly
answer?
Yours very truly,
OLD Till i BONO "
WANTS NO SALOONS.
Th Tin Hi'raid:
I have thought over the matter of
saloon license* and the good cttlxens
ot ihtH city, since I wrote thnt note
that was in last Sunday's paper I
think that the first step Is to get the
North Augusta cltlsena to have the
dispensary moved from the doors of
Augusta, then stop any whiskey from
coming here on any railroad, and then
close the barroom* and clubs and all
■amhling and disorderly places, I do
honestly want to sec dear old Augusta
I dry In the future. 1 think that the
Mr. Barroom man should not have any
licenses al all If you all let them
have licenses for I-. 000 a year then
'enforce the laws, that will close them
'out Don't let fifty run If they are
i able to pay Cl.ooo. If they are not let
them close up
The good cltlsena of this city ot ght
to he glad to have them closed All
good dtlsens want to rule ottt whiskey
and all other disorderly places. I
have suffered from this fire water
that they make for 10 cents a gallon,
'and then sell II for from 50 cents to
as high a* $2.00 and $4 00 a gallon.
Thai Is a disgrace to this city lam
t illing to do anything to get It out
ot tills city Good cttnen*. please
help and get whiskey out of this
nntn. Well II looks like fireworks
cannot he used this Christmas. Let s
all that want to shoot fireworks go
out of the city This Is the way lam
going U> do. Ttjls is a bail move thnt
the city council did. Don't you all
think so?

WHICH ONE WOULD HE MARRY?
To The Herald: :
Will someone answer this question:
Which of these two girls hus the heel
chance to marry a good, sensible busi
ness man" Roth girls are nice look
ing. educated, talented quick al re
partee, like good hooks and operas.
No, 1 enjoys freakish styles No 2
likes modest fashions.
No. 1 believes a little* wine is all

No 1 enjoys dancing No 2 never

dances as the quadrille and Virginia
reel.
No 1 uses cosmetics. No. I never

No. 1 claims she is not tied to her

SINCERELY.
THE REVOLT OF A MERE MAN.
To The Herald:
My wife happens to be out at a so
cial function Just at this moment. So,
hoping that no one gives me away
(for that would mean Mrs. Caudle and
lipr “mere man” over again), I want
to put in a word for the "rights of
man.”
I notice the literary effervescence
signed by "Miss 1915” in a recent is
sue of The Herald. How unique, how
refreshing Indeed! .My only wonder
Is that "Miss 1915” la to be married at
all. How positively oppressing the
atmosphere of married life will prove
to a “miss” of her capabilities, and
temperament, ller proper place Is the
stage, where she will have an unlimit
ed opportunity for an endless variety
of husbands tandem. While I have
no personal objection to “Miss 1915”
nor any pangs of regret that she re
gards it a duty to get married, I feel
myself obliged to call upon nil true
men to squelch her doctrine before
2915 at least.
In the meantime, why not organize
a “stiffragus" movement to prevent
cruelty to husbands? Allow me to
suggest the rallying cry for this
Armageddon: "The mouth that asks
me to work shall never kiss me!”
Rally,,brothers, to the standard! True,
we are only ultra-progressives, pon
dering a hopeless Utopia; but we
might win some day when the world
Is on its last legs. A fleeting moment
of victory before the final oblivion,
but at least that!
Now do not misunderstand me. This
movement must never be known to\ex
ist. To "let the cat out of the bag”
lust now would mean the total anni
hilation of the male sex. And good
ness knows that the philosophy which
regards men ns superfluous is coming
to be dominant enough. Let every
member of this glorious organization
lie borind by oaths of blood and fire
not, on penalty of death, to reveal the
terrible secret to our oppressors.
What 1 cannot understand is that
"Miss 1916" belli;; so progressive, could
even endure the thought of any asso
ciation with "mere man," although I
must acknowledge that her ambition
for power is worthy and commendable
from the standpoint of the stoic at
such a sacrifice! And in the mean
time, while we hug our dearest ideals
In ourselves in secret, we must con
tinue to run the washing machine,
black boots and furnish the "where
with" with a humility worthy of a
better cause. MERE MAN.
SHE WON'T HAVE TO SHINE HIS
SHOES.
To The Herald:
is the day of chivalry gone? 1 ask
ed myself when 1 read what “Bache
lor" lias to say on a woman shining
her husband's shoes. When a man
marries, does he want his wife to be a
slave or a life partner? 1 am not mar
ried. luii I certainly would not dream
of asking the girl 1 love and h ve
asked to he my wife to shine my
shoes. Would "Bachelor" expect hit
wife to shine his shoes after working
all day keeping the house In order,
preparing supper ami coddling a
young little bachelor" who lias been
crying all day? If so, he is not human.

Atlanta social clubs, which the ultra

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
PETITION OF LEO
TRUNK FOR WRIT
Makes Unique Point in New
Fight in Habeas Corpus Pro
ceeding Before U. S. Court.
Atlanta.—ln his petition for a writ of
habeas corpus, Lea Frank alleges that
h<- has been denied the process of law
and the equal protection of the law
hy both the Fulton superior court and
the Georgia supreme court. He ar
argues that when the judge of the su
perior court allowed the jury to bring
in the original verdict of guilty against
him In his absence it forfeited Juris
diction of the case, was without power
to pronounce sentence and the judg
ment was, therefore, void.
Supreme Court's Former Acts.
The decision of the supreme court in
denying Frank’s motion to set aside
the verdict and holding that she should
have raised this point in his motion
for a new trial, is attacked in the pe
tition as follows:
"Under previous decisions of the
supreme court of Georgia, and under
the practice which had prevailed
throughout the state prior to the afore
said derision rendered In my case on
November 14. 1914, as aforesaid, the
proper procedure to attack as a nullity
a verdict rendered in the absence of a
prisoner, had been held to be a motion
to set aside the verdict. A motion for
a new trial was treated as not being
the proper remedy.
"Such former decisions of the supreme
coutr of Georgia were unanimous de
cisions, and under the laws of the state
of Georgia had the force of a satute
until reversed by a full bench, after
argument, on a request for review'
granted by the court.
"No previous decision of the supreme
court of Georgia nor of the court of
appeals of said state, said courts being
its only appellate courts and its high
est courts had ever declared that a
motion to set aside as a nulity a ver
dict rendered in a prisoner's absence,
was not an available remedy to attack
such verdict. The decision of the su
preme court of Georgia in my case,
which determined that a motion for
a new trial was an available remedy
in such a case and denied my right to
move to set aside the verdict on the
aforesaid grounds, was the first de
cision of Its kind ever rendered by said
court or hy the court of appeals of
Georgia.
Robbed of Rights.
“The said decision had the effect of
depriving me of a substantial right
given to me by the law in force at the
time to which my alleged guilt related,
and at the time of the reception of the
verdict against me and of the presen
tation and decision of the motion for
a new trial, and took from me a right
wditch at all of said times was vital to
the protection of my life and liberty,
and constituted the passing of an ex
