Is Not Sufficient—New Britain Daw- | «ger Neglects His Horses. President Frank H. Jenkins of} Piedmont college, Demorest, Georgia, Jwas the speaker at the regular mid- weekly prayer meeting of the Berlin Congregational church last night. A Jarge crowd was in attendance and the address, ‘Sidetracked Americans, was well recefved. An abstract of President Jenkins’ address follows: “Piedmont college 1s situated in the town of Demorest, Georgia, right in the heart of the mountainous dis- tricts. Its student body is made up of the white people that live in the district. These people are very poor and their poverty may be directly traged to the Civil War. The north- ern people of that time thought the lot of the negro was very hard, but this was a fallacy. The negro’s con- dition in the south previous to the war was far better than it was in his native home, Africa. It was also pre- Sumed by the northerners that slave Gwners possessed many slaves. Statis- veterans of the great struggle, or at least eleven of them, who were the guests of the Berlin Sons of Vet- erans’ association at a war picture in New Britain. At a recent meeting cf the Sons’ association, it was voted to invite all the old soldiers of the town to witness the photo-play as guests of the association. A commit- tee consisting of Judge George Gris- wold, Garfleld Gibney, Harry Gould and Willlam H. Gibney was appointed to procure-the -seats. The veterans gathered at the town hall this afternoon and took the 1:20 trolley to New Britain. They had the memories of Antietam, Bull Run, Gettysburg and Appomatox with them and were going to see the scemes of those stirring times pictured before them. The following veterans were in attendance: Postmaster H. L. Por- ter, B. I Clark, John Root, Ward Griswold, Willam Luby, Eldridge Mitchell, Henry J. Colby, John Hub- bard, E. W. Brown, and Roderick Loveland. . Boy Scouts to Entertain. The question in town this morn- ing was whether there was more ner- vousness among the veterans or the members of Troop No. 1, Boy Scouts of America. The latter are going to entertain their parents and friends to- night with exhibition of scout-craft at the Berlin Congregational church and ' were showing great concern over the success of their program. | have drilled conscientiously under the ! tutelage of Rev.

A stage has been erected in the church and the boys will demonstrate their ability in scal- ing walls and in the other work of the movement. A Dittle Praise.

SILENCE OF GREECE STIRS FRENCH PRESS One Newspaper Asserts Greece Has Or Is About to Conclude Treaty With Bulgaria. Paris, Dec. 3, 6 a. m.—The longed silence of the Greek govern- ment respecting the demands of the entente allies has again aroused the suspicion of the French press. One newspaper goes so far as'to assert that Greece has concluded or is about to conclude a treaty with Bulgaria by the terms of which Monastir and the Vardar Valley in Serbia are “‘ceded” to Greece in return for aid against the Anglo-French expeditionary forces. French correspondents at Saloniki indicate that the Bulgarians, notwith- standing promises made by the Ger- mans that Bulgars would not enter Monastir, have resolved to take that city, which is their real objective, realizing that the Germans are not in a position to stop them. pro- held last evening. Mr. Douglass is an extremely popular me;poer of the | post and has previously been hon- ored with the highest office within the gift of local members. He is a hard worker for the organization and the high standing,of the post is large- ly the result of his energetic efforts. | at | Mr. Douglass will be instalpyl the first meeting in January when Commander Williams will retire. The members were anxious to have Mr. Williams serve for another year but he declined and the veterans decided to again put Mr. Douglass at head of the organization. Reports presented last showed that the membership of the post has now dwindled down to six- teen. Of this number c/vdh were present at the meeting. The gath- ering was harmonious in character and the selection of Mr. Douglass was | by a pratcically unanimous vote. Other officers chosen were: Senior Vice Comm:iWder—John Whita, Junior Vice Commander—Francis ‘Warner. Quartermaster—John W. Gray. Surgeon—George W. Atkins. Chaplain—Robert C. Usher.

Repofs of a gratifying nature were presented. The state- ments gave evidence that the or- ganization has had a successful year and indicated that the prospects for 1916 are exceedingly bright. The following officers, wifly will take the obligations early in January, when there will be a joint installation of the heads of both the post and it§ auxiliary, were selected. President—Agnes S.

A rate of $19 per bulb will be made, the com- pany has advised, if a ten year con- tract is accepted. The matter will be taken up, probably on Devember 15. Confirmation Services.

There ing day of Congress, has \en named ties of the time show that but one motor over them say their appearance Reed. out of thirty plantation owners pos- s;‘!scd slaves. The negroes had good homes and on account of the cheap- ness of their labor they were in great demand and practically all of them learned trades. The great question of state rights in which South Carolina was the leader brought on the Civil War and thewe pedple of the mountainous’regions of jeorgia sent more men proportion- ately to their numbers than any other class In the country. During the war their homes were devastated and laid in ruin. Of course the people were pleased that the conditions of the negro was bettered, but the brunt of the whole war fell on them, who practically lost their all. They (o notyget a chance. There are nearly 4.- 500,000 of them in the country to- day. known as “poor whites."” Professor Jenkins h among them for twent and during that time Piedmont college, the ain s to better the condition of these ‘poor whites.”” The yearly expenses of the institution are $30.000.

The faculty of the fnstitution comprises thirty instrue- tors.

There is a feeling about town there ought to be an agent of Humane society here. William Gibney acted in that capacity for thirteen years but on account of the ! pressure of other duties he resigned | the position two vears ago. Mr. Gib- ney succeeded Nelson Taylor, who was the first agent in the town. There have been several rumors about town the past few months regarding the mistreatment of animals, but as that tne done. A certain disciple of Blackstone in New Britain, who also conducts a bu jness in which horses are nce T is cominé in for a great deal of crit- jeism. During early fall he made ar- rangenients with a farmer for the rental of a pasture and he put four equines in the lot. an emaciated condition and he hoped to make them fit for work. When the cold nights came along the poor beasts were left in the lot and the owner made no effort to have them put in a stable. One of the animals died from exposure and finally the man from whom the lot was rented took the other three into his stable. Many comments have been heard and they are not laudatory to the man from New Britain.

That his venture in the livery and trucking business cost him a cool $5,000 is claimed by William C. Hart, who filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy yesterday. The select- man declares that the action of his creditors in pressing him so hard that he became a bankrupt simply to prevent them from foreing him into court as a failure has resulted in his losing all his money and he sees but little hope of getting anything for himself out of the husiness after the courts have settled his affairs. Among his assets his schedule sites real estate to the value of $4,500 on which there are mortgages of $2,700; vehicles valued at $2,500; barn tools, $150; stable equipment, $75; nine horses, $1,800 and debts due on open account $500. While his liabilities are $6,219.48, he claims $5,443.98 is unsecured. Mr. Hart expresses the opinion that ¥. L. Benzon, representing the New- ton estate, his heaviest creditor, would have forced him into haN<ruptey. had he failed to file a voluntary pe- tition. The selectman admits that before filing the petition he gave teams to certain creditors, whose accounts he felt should be settled in full and his by the Defense Society as ‘“Defense Day” throughout the United States,— the most timely occasion for holding mass meetings and addressing letters and telegrams to Congress on behalf of better national defense. “In case there is an earlier meeting of Congress the opening day will then be chosen for ‘“American, Defense Day.” “In order to make the occasion an impressive one, the American Defense Society has requested the co-operation of the Boards of Trade of the vari- ous cities, asking that they designate this Day as a Flag Day over the city on which day all eciti- zens who are in favor of a greater national defense are urgently rc/uest- ed to show such belief by hanging out flags at every house. “At the same time the American Defense Sociery is distributing a card appeal to be signed by voters and sent to their respective Congressmen and Senators, urging action at the next session of Congress in favor of ade- quate national defense.
