HUMANITYS
SYMBOL BY
U. S. AFTER
WARSAYS
PRES’T
Charlotte. N. C. —President Wilson,
speaking before a crowd of more than
100,000 people here today, declared he
hoped the United States after the Euro
pean war would be able to lift up a
symbol of the "still, small voice of hu
manity.”
The president expressed the hope that
out of the European war may come an
amalgamation of the people and the
interests of the world which will bring
them into a common melting pot. He
ventured the hope that after the pres
ent war all peoples might come to
gether.
The president here for the one hun
dred and forty-first anniversary of the
signing of the Mecklenburg declara
tion of independence, was introduced
by Governor Craig, of North Carolina,
who spoke of the president as one of
the greatest leaders the nation has ever
seen. Mr. Wilson began speaking at
12:40 o’clock.
The president asked, “What are you
going to do with your power?” He in
quired whether you “are going to trans
form it into force or peace.” He said
*
‘‘Untainted Americanism.”
The rpesident spoke only briefly and
devoted himself almost wholly to dis
cussion of the ideals of the United
States. He declared “untainted Ameri
canism” is needed. He said the United
States must preserve its ideals in or
der to be of assistance in helping the
world. He was enthusiastically ap
plauded.
“1 have come back for a brief visit
tc a region dear to my heart,” said the
president. “I do not know whether I
can interpret for you the spirit of this
occasion. It is necessary to realize
just what we celebrate.
“There were only three million peo
ple in this nation when it became inde
pendent. Now there are 100,000,000
people. There have been changes but
we have the same elements. What I
want to imprss on you is that we have
always been in the making. Among
the men who founded this nation there
was a very great passion for human
liberty.
“What I want to call your attention
to is that this nation has devoted it
self almost too much to material
things. There have been other nations
just as rich as the United States. We
must think of what we are going to
do with our wealth and our prosperity.
“America did not come out of the
South and it did not come out of New
England. It came out of the middle
states where there was a mixture of
different races.”
The president spoke of the need of
“untainted Americanism.” He dwelt
on the European war.
“What are the elements of this war?”
he asked. “It is a clash of different
elemei#s. Europe is fighting out in
war the questions we are fighting out
in peace.”
Better Nations.
“As the processes of communication
have grown better nations and peoples
have grown closer together. Men can
now learn more about each other. No
that now the melting pot is bigger than
America. It is as big as the world.
See then what a new world we have
come into.
“Here in America we have tried to
set the example of peace by keeping
together.
“Isn’t jt the sign and dawn of a new
age that the one thing now on which
the world is about to fall back is the
moral judgment of mankind?”
The president said he would like to
think the "spirit of this occasion” could
be expressed “if we could imagine our
selves lifting up some symbol of hu
hanity.”
Closing his address amid a burst of
applause, the president left the stand
to go to a local club for luncheon.

BRITISH CLOCKS
HANDS PUSHED
FORWARD HOUR
London. —The hands on all clocks on
British railroads, postoffices, newspaper
offices, police stations and other places
where business is conducted throughout
the night will be pushed forward at 2
o’clock tomorrow morning to 3 o’clock in
accordance with the daylight saving cat.
The new schedule will run until Sep
tember 30th when clocks will be stopped
for an hour. There is a small, old
fashioned section of the people who had
derided the daylight saving scheme but
they will be practically forced into line
by its acceptance in all public institu
tions.
The only exception will be the parks
in the large cities which will be open
an hour later to allow pople the benefit
of more fresh air. The hour of two on
Sunday morning was selected for the
change because fewer trains are running
then than at any other time during the
week.
Next Monday.
Christiania, (via London) —The legis
lature has passed the daylight savings
bill, advancing the clock one hour. The
new regulation goes into effect on May
22nd. This makes the new time sys

OF THE BAPTISTS
Asheville, N. C.—With a precedent of
the 48 years of its existence broken in
that a woman had addressed its meet
ing a Southern Baptist convention en
tered its fourth day’s session here to
day to take up miscellaneous business.
Miss Kathleen Mallory, of Mont
gomery, Ala., corresponding secretary
of the Woman’s Missionary Union, an
auxiliary of the convention, was the
first woman to address the convention.
She was followed by another, Mrs.
Maud McLure, of Louisville, who has
charge of the woman’s training school
there, an institution fostered by the
union. Both spoke last night for the
school, the night session having been
turned over to the home mission board
of the convention which has general
supervision over Southern Baptist
schools in the domestic field.
None of the delegates today seemed
to know just who had gained consent
for the women to address the conven
tion, but many recalled the prediction
made last year at Houston, Texas, and
again this year, this time on the floor
of the convention by the Hev. Dr. J. P.
Gambrell, a retired preacher, of Dallas,
Texas, that "some day women will have
membership in the convention.’’
Despite the fact that much business
already has been passed upon, includ
ing the postponement until next year
of the proposal to consolidate the va
l-oius boards, there are yet a number of
matters to be brought up before final
adjournment Monday afternoon to meet
in New Orleans, May 16-21, 1917.
SENATE INTERESTED
IN POSSIBLE DEARTH
OF OIL, BATTLESHIPS
Washington.—Senators today ex
pressed interest in the protest of Sec
retary Daniels against the pending bill
to legalize entries on certain Califronia
oil lands which he said are needed to
provide fuel for the navy. Mr. Daniels
appealed to President Wilson yester
day for the continued retention by the
federal government of the oil lands
which were put in reserve by President
Taft in 1909.
The secretary explained that navy
advisers believe construction of addi
tional oid burning battleships, with
their greater speed and steaming ra
dius, must be abandoned unless an ade
quate reserve supply of fuel is con
stantly available.
The bill in question recently was re
ported favorably from the senate pub
lic lands committee by Senator Phe
lan of California. It would open to
entry many claims in the so-called re
serve Number 2. Senator Phelan as
serted the other two reserves. No. 1, in
California, and No. 3 In Wyoming,
were sufficient to maintain the navy
“for 200 years in peace and 75 years in
war." Secretary Daniels disputed that
statement, saying these fields provid
eda supply so ronly 15 years.

tically a strict party vote.
BEGIN! YEARS
WORK ON GIGANTIC
MEMORIAL, SOUTH
Atlanta, Ga.—The work of presenting
to the South a memorial of the war be
tween the states, probably unique in de
sign and scope formally was begun at
Stone Mountain near here Saturday. The
mountain is a solid block of stone and on
its most precipitious side will be carved
figures nearly forty feet in height of the
South’s heroes and scenes depicting the
greatest civil war. At the base of the
mountain, directly under the gigantic
figures will he blasted out an assembly
hall in which reunions of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy will be hold.
Some years ago the United Daughters
of the Confederacy conceived the Idea of
such a monument and enlisted the aid of
S. E. Venable, who owns most of the
mountain. Part, of the ceremonies to
day was the presentation to an officer
of the Daughters of the Confederacy by
Mr. Venable a deed to that part of the
mountain on which the nuge figures will
be carved.
While practically all of the monument
will be cut out of solid rock it will -he
necessary to erect corner posts. It was
the laying of the first block in one of
these posts that occasioned the cele
bration Saturday. The principal speakers
announced were Federal judge Emory
Speer and John Temple Graves. Gut
son Borglum, a sculptor, will have
charge of the work.
Thirty-seven Feet High.
The central group of the historical
carvings will he a number of equestrian
figures of Lee, Jackson, Forrest, John
son, Gordon, Davis and other heroes of
the Confederacy. These figures will stand
about 37 feet high, according to Mr.
Borglum. He stated that the horses
would stand about 27 feet at the withers.
The group will extend for a distance of
about 3,000 feet around the face of the
mountain at a height of slightly less
than 400 feet above me surrounding
country.
The great hall cut at the base of the
mountain will he 180 reet long and 60
feet deep. It will have thirteen columns
cut from solid rock representing each of
the thirteen Confederate states. In it
will be stored archives and records of the
war between the states.
It will take about eight years to com
plete the work, according to the sculp
tor.

PRESBYTERIANS
Orlando, Fla. —Southern Presbyteri
ans decided at the general assembly
today not to change their rule of al
lowing each church to decide whether
or not wine used by it at communion
shall be fermented. Two reports were
submitted by a committee chosen last
year to study the problem, the ma
jority favoring continuance of the sys
tem in vogue and the minority report
ing that fermented wine should he
used. The minority based its conclu

Rev. J. F. Cannon, declared that leader
ship and rule in the church belongs to
man, as directed by the Scripture, hut
that the usd of women as deaconnesses
is not against Scripture teaching and
therefore in their home churches and in
home and foreign mission fields may
work as deaconnesses.
The minority report submitted by the
Rev. James I. Vance, recommended that
women may expound Scripture in the
churches without violating Scripture
teachings. Dr. Vance declared that if
women can be trusted to do church work
they can he trusted to tell about it and
that either one or the other should he

The report of the committee on comity
with the Presbyterian church in the
United States of America also is creat
ing considerable interest. It was sub
mitted yesterday and presented rules
drawn at conferences between commit
tees between committees from both the
Southern and Northern church which
state *that the church recognizes the
right of a church to withdraw from one
to the other but that the proposed step
first must be approved by its "supreme
judicatories'* and the “proper ecclesias
tical and legal steps taken.”
The report of the committee on sys
tematic beneficence arm 46 overtures are

be written several exact short descrip

be the color of my hair and eyes, on
another my exact weight, etc., the full
series, giving a pretty good description
of me. Several hundred of these la

Brannew and scattered around through
the different cases. When you buy
either a small or large bottle of H. &
H. Rrannor, the liquid food, get your
label off und look for the description.
You may, at odd times, get several of
them, and they will he exact descrip

BELIEVE HARRIS,
NEXT WEEK, WILL
FREE STRIPLING
Atlanta, Ga. —The Journal prints the
following:
The report of the state prison com
mission declining declining to recom
mend a pardon for Thomas Edgar
Stnipling, serving a life term at the
state farm near Milledgeville for mur
der, reached Governor Harris Friday
morning on his return from the Con
federate Veterans' reunion in Birm
ingham.
Commenting on the action of tlie
board, which was exclusively forecast
ed in The Journal about a month ago,
the governor stated he would announce
his decision within a week, which de
cision, it is believed, will reverse the
prison commission and free Stripling,
as Governor Harris, several months
ago, told the famous prisoner's little
daughter that lie would pardon her
father before his term of office ex
pired.
The unfavorable recommendation
was signed by Commissioners E. L.
Rainey and T. 16. Patterson, who wrote
no opinion. Chairman R. E. Davison,
who, as a member of the board com
posed of the late General Clement A.
Evans and the late Wiley Williams, of
Columbus, which unanimously recom
mended Stripling’s pardon to former
Governor Brown, adhered to his origi
nal position and submitted a minority
report favoring the pardon.
Tills report is identical with that
submitted to Governor Brown on April
12, 1311, and disapproved by him April
22. IJr. Davison, however, supplements
the original recommendations with tlie
following statement;
“For tlie reason stated in the origi
nal or former recommendation, dated
April 12, Pill, Which I adhere to, and
for the additional reason that the ap
plication has now served five years of
liiH sentence, 1 again recommend the
pardon of the applicant.”
The reasons referred to by Chairman
Davison were forwarded to the gov
ernor with the majority report de
clining to recommend executive clem
ency.

is increased sales.
The great meeting
ground for this work
is the advertising
columns of local
newspapers like The
Herald.
The advertising ap

buying public in the
dealer’s city, and the
name and the pro
duct of the manufac
turer derive a great
benefit through asso

dealer’s local pres

Co-operative adver

and more in favor
because it pays.
