Public Mind 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. JOS. B. CUMMING. 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? JOHN R CHAVonS. Jr 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 right.

No. 2 claims that she Is, anil is proud of it. 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. ANOTHER BACHKLOR. TO END PROBE OF THE ATLANTA SOCIAL CLUBS Atlanta, Ga.-—The Investigation of Atlanta social clubs, which the ultra prohlbltlonlata hoped would lake the form of Indictments against every thing from the Capital city Club down to the smallest place where drinks are sold has collasped and the grand Jury l.as requested that It he dismissed. The Jury was unable to find evidence that the laws were being violated, though there Is no denial that drinks are sold to members. Hundreds of prominent Atlantans, presidents and other official* of the leading club*, were summoned beforse the grand Jury in the week it was at work. Yesterday a dosen or two such witnesses failed to appear and the deputy sheriffs were sent out with subpoenaes to bring them in. But before the papers had been served th* grand Jury decided to drop the whole matter 72 YEAR OLD ORANGEBURG WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH Orangeburg, S.

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 CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY FARES CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILWAY Commencing Dec. 16 to 25 Inclusive, and Pec. .list and Jan.
