LOW BIRTH RATE
» ■■ »
In Omtarjo Taken’Up By Church
Leaders.
STemnto. Ont., Sept. £22 The
e opleUntario are exercised
over the discussion in the Mont
real Anglican synod on the low
birth rate in Ontario. The situa
tion has been ascribed by the
ministers largely to causes over
which persons have absolute con*
trol and the matter involves ques
tions of grave moral responsibili
ty.
Another reason given is the em
ployment of women in stores and
elsewhere, driving men to other
fields and thus lessening the mar
riage rate, which in Ontario, is far
below that of any country in the
world. The migration of young
men from rural districts is another
cause of the low birth rate.
VENGEANCE
Visited Up n Alleged Negro
Murderer.
Wetumpka, Ala., Sept. 22, —
Three months ago an aged white
fanner and his wife, living near
this place were robbed and mur
dered in their home. The follow
ing day five negro-e were arrested
charged with lhe crime. Fonr were
taken from the Wetumpka -Tail by
a mob and lynched. The fifth . Joe
Thompson, escaped.
Rast Saturday he was captured
and three citizens started with
him for the j til at Dadeville. They
returned and reported that the
prisoner had escaped again. The
following day his disemboweled
body was found iu the Tallapoosa
River. He had evidently been
murdered.
Governor Johnson has offered
S2OO for the arrest of his murder
ers and will prosecute the case vi
gorously .
“Brigadier Bill’’ disappointed
all Romans in order to play even
with Congressman Maddox He
had the Rome company sent on
to Atlanta and placed in camp
for seyeral days,when the gallant
boys might have camped at
home with loved ones. “Briga
dier Bill” is more “popular” in
Rome now than ever before.
