Atlanta, Sept. 19.—The city coun

Knights of Columbus. In our opinion
there exists unpatriotic and un-Amer

throughout the country and known as
the Knights of Columbus." This res

printed In the Congressional Record
in 1913 and which the officers of the
Knights of Columbus have declared Js
not theirs.

compared with the Ku Klux Klan of
America: organized to resist violence

The mbb spirit gets control of armed

extremists here are in the minority,
of course, hut there are enough of
them to make a disagreeable show
ing and to raise doubts as to Ulster’s
good faith. Men of this stripe have
no Interest whatever In the settle

they prefer hqrsh repression of their
Sinn Fein neighbors by stiff British
militarists to any plan of dominion
home rule.
Liberals In Majority.
England has two schools of politi

hand liberal minded, kindly disposed
people who sympathize with Irish as
pirations end who ardently hope for a
settlement and on the other, the stiff

which has always believed that colon

should he kept in their places. The

Belfast belongs to the Orangemen,

Wheiiy southern Ireland declared a
boycott against Ulster products, the
north retaliated by bringing ahout the
disohaage from the shipyards of Sinn
Fein employees. This action,' taken
months ago. has caused much hard
feeling and has deepened age,old an
tagonisms.
Recall Riots in U. S.
We have grown accustomed to think
of Belfast and Ulster ganeralyl as a
sober, steady, hard-working, well-be
haved community, desiring only to be
lot alone, and it Is hard to reconcile
the recent vendetta with this concep
tion. If we will recall what Ameri

Washington, East St. Louis and South
Chicago, we may arive at a better un
derstanding of the psychology. involv

In Its industrial aspects,-Belfast re

the difference between this city and
Dublin are as strongly marked as
those between Pittsburgh and Wash

Smith Says Investment Will
Pay Good Return.
‘ " t
At ,3 largely attended meeting of
the Young Men’s Club committee hav
ing in charge the organizing and fi
nancing of the Brunswick and Inter
urban Street Railway, the lists of sub
scribers was reviewed.. It was found
that excellent work had been done by
the but that a large nuin
ber of Brunswick’s able citizens had
not yet been seen. Assignment of
propects to various members of the
committee was made and estimates
made on the probable chances of sure
ly closing with some of these pros
pects for substantial subscriptions
which would practically assure suc
cess of the undertaking.
The member of the various teams
will start out again this morning' at
9:30 for the purpose of seeing these
new prospects and recanvassing their
respective territories for the purpose
of interviewing those not seen on their
prior visits. j
Geo. C. Smith, for years a most effi
cient railroad official of high rank, and
the man who brought the Yaryan
Rosin ■& Turpentine company out of
its financial difficulties through his
4ble management, has been chairman
of this special committee, and has
ate an 9 future prospects of the pro-|
posed Investment in this Street Rail
way on the part of Brunswick’s citi
zens; and he has not hesitated to rec
ommend the Investment, uot only
from the standpoint of civic pride
in the continuance of the carltne but
from a sound financial viewpoint.
If the general public does not be
lieve these young men are serious in
the proposition, they should Just view
the committee once in action. No an
gle of the proposition has been over
looked by them, and they unhesitat
ingly state that the proposition is go
ing over if they have to personally
interview every man. woman and chtld
in Brunswick. Brunswick citizens had
as well make up their minds to forget
the fake oil stocks they have invested
in, and listen to a real business propo
sition that' has the backing of a great
many of Brunswick’s moat substantia]
business men. /

Arco. was struck- by *an automobile
early fast night, receiving Injuries
which, while not fatal, are serious aQ-1
will likely render him a cripple for
the rest of his life.
Mr. Ricks and his twelve year old
son were walking to the city and when
near the general store at Arco. a Bulck
moving at a rapid rate, struck hint,
knocking him to the ground and
breaking a leg near the hip. Miller’s
imbalance reached the injured man
a few minutes after the accident and
he was rushed to the city hospital,
where Dr. Fox attended him and pro
nounced him to be in serious condition
but not thought to be fatally hurt.
The worst part of the affair is the
fact that the car which struck Mr.
Ricks did not stop but went faster.
In it were two or three men and two
or more females. County Officer Long
got on the cane at once and is making
every effort to ascertain who the par
ties are and arrest them.

DEDICATORY EXERCISES
AT ARCO SCHOOL BUILDING.'
• President A. V. Wood, of the Board
of JBduoation, was master of ceremon
ies at the interesting exercises, the
dedication of the new Arco school
building yesterday and usual approp
riate remarks, introduced Rev. C. D.
Ogg, who made a fervent invocation.
After the - invocation Paesident
Wood told of the general policy of the.
Board to prepare better school facili
ties for all pupils and said the Board
had been fortunate in securing ' as'
chairman of the building committee
Col. James T. Qalson. f
Mr. Colsou then made a few re
marks on the type of school architec
ture and the purpose of particular
styles of buildings, he then formally
turned the building over to the people
of Arco.
W. W. Heaton, assistant superinten
dent of the Atlantic Refining company,
replied on behalf of the people of Ar
co and officials of his company for the
foresight in giving them such a fine
building, reported to be the best ru
ral schoof strut-lure 'IO Georgia. He
pledged the cooperation of patrons
and officials In keeping the building
clean and well ordered and said, tba
people of the entire community were
proud of huch a handsome edifice.
Bupt. Dryden was then called and
his address was very Interesting. He
emphasized the necessity for indus
try, truthfulness and determination
on the part of the pupils in order for
the school to be a success, since a
building, be said, however fine, does
not make a school.
Col. Millard Reese talked on the
work of selecting teachers and told the
patrons that they had three of the
best in Georgia.
