Os Interest To
Our Readrs.
We notice the United States
Senate h«s passed a bill authorize
| ing the Secretary of War to g;an»
furloughs to y>ung farm ra who
were drafted S'vtrai months ago
f >r service in the uati. Hal army.
The furloughs will be granted
under such restrictions as the sec
retary of war may see tit to place
on th'em, and granted to men not
immediately needed for service.
Phis will mean a great deal to
s veral Mil er county oitiz us who
hare sons, brothers or loved ot.es
drafted for service, but it does uot
m'an that the men will be re
leased n»rmaaenilv H probably not
i
winy longer than the remainder of;
1918.
\V ith slight amendment, mak
ing it voluntary with the soldier I
whither or nut he accepts the fur
lough, the bill is assured to soon
the House and be signed by
President Wilson.
From “Over There”
Several mouths ago The liberal
published a’ letter v ritten from I
.. t‘i . ■ ■
Jus. W Denton, who enlisted iu ,
the U. 8. aimy as a v duuteer.
The letter was addiissed to Mr.
J. M. Denton, the father of the
-oklierwho isiu the engineer corps, I
wt o lives just a iitlle distance
south of town.
Last week in publis ing a letter
from Corp. G. \V Welch Jr, The 1
Sun stated that it was- the ‘ first
published letter of a Miller county
boy in the world war stage.”
Os course, what is printed in
t e Liberal is not considered “pub
lished” by the dazzling Suu; but
the father of this soldier who is ,
doing service “over there,” is con
sidered a splendid citizen. The ,
bio id of a patrfot flows th rough his
v*iiis, f ir oe was among those who
defended the U. 3. in the Spanish
—American war in Cuba.
The Sun must have been in an
eclipse iu its first issuw, for it spoke
of one of Mr. B A. Pinilips’ sons
as being "a negro/’
The sun, purporting to cal! peo
ple to Colquitt, suggested that they
Come to Bainbridge.
The truth is the Service of the
■nun is not being wanted by some
on 'Rural Routis, who are R< fus
ing to accept the paper.
A great many people in this sec
tion know that if they do not “re
fuse” tire Sun they wiil have to
piy for it.
