Georgia, formerly ancient Iveria,
a part of Russian Trans-Caucasia, is
' populated by a people who call them'
selves Martli and who are known by
neighboring Persians as Guri. The
seats of government are Tiflis and
Guria. In the third century they
constituted a mighty state which last

The population of Georgia at the
time she declared her independence
of Russia, on May Z6, 1918, was
about 3,000,000. Eighty per cent "of
the Georgians are farmers. On March
17 last the independence of Georgia
was recognized by Italy. Under the
Turkish peace treaty Batum is to be
come a free port.
San Marino or Sammarino, is not
only one of the smallest but one of
the eldest -republics of Europe. It is
enclosed by three Italian provinces
' and consists of a craggy mountain
2,420 feet high on which is the town
and some circumjacent terraces with
- lour or nve villages, ine population
prior to the war was about 8,000.
San Marino furnished an army to the
allies. The chief industry is agricul

was made a Grand Duchy in 1814 by
the king of the Netherlands. In 1867
it was declared neutral territory by
the treaty of London. It has belong

signing of the Versailles treaty Co the
Zollverein or German Custom's Un

The population of Luxemburg be

burg, a revolution occurred but was
halted by the allies. The-American
troops passed through the country
and were well received. . The Grand
Duchess Marie whose abdication had
been demanded by a mob, fled from
the country and a republic was pro

Hamburg Today Described as
Imposing Monument to :
Merchant Marine.
Charlotte sifter cf I'ane.
Washington, May 8. (Associated
Press.) Hamburg today may" be de
scribed as an imposing monument to
thedead gloriea of the German mer
chant marine, according to Consul
Francis R. Stewart, who was detailed
by the American Commission in Ber
lin to investigate conditions- at the
former premier German'port for that
body. A report from Mr. Stewart,
detailing- the results of his inquiry,
today reached the Department of
Commerce. ! 1
"A Bhort trip through the. harbor
quickly discloses what a graveyard
the port has become," the consul re-,
ported. ''Tugs and lighters are tied
up"here- and there, apparently for
gotten. One small cruiser rests, de
serted, alongside a pier; electric.
... . j
cranes are motionless on unusea
docks; floating elevators and docks
are moored in rows, probably , in
readiness for delivery to the allies.
','Th.e giant Bismarck (56,000-ton
Hamburg-American liner), floats at
a fitting-out pier without a sign "of
life on board and from a launch no
new work could be seen in' any of the
bie shipyards. ' Tied up to another
pier in the outer harbor is the former
Atlantic recordholder, the steamship
Deutschland, relic of the war, paint
ed a deep black over-all, with spots
of white showing here and there that
passing craft have scraped her sides,
a grim reminder of the glories once
held by the German merchant fleet."
; - Regular service is being maintain
ed with Holland, England and North
America, and lines were about to
start service for Spain and South
America, but the "free port" is ap
parently dead, Mr. . Stewart reported.

meeting of the Progressive Associa
tion yesterday, ' the Confederate
Memorial was the burden of the de
liberations.
The committee on a memorial hall
reported as follows:
"Your committee, to whom was
submitted the question as to the
erection of a memorial hall In-the
form of a library, to perpetuate the
memory of the Confederate soldiers,
have the same under consideration
and recommend .that . said building
be built at an expense of $10,000,
and not less than $8,000; that the
material to be used shall consist of
brick and stone, and that your com
mittee be authorized to employ an
architect to submit a suitable design
with plans and specifijsattions to be
submitted to a subsequent meeting of
this association," ; !
Wm. R. Cox,
W. H. Powell, Jr.
The report was approved and the
committee continued to report de
signs and specifications at the June
meeting.
The president was authorized to
employ, at his discretiota, a soliciting
agent to assist the ladies.
It was requested of -the auxiliary
committee, r sisting of veterans,
that a report ac the Jufie meeting be
made of the soldiers who went from
this county. Si
As it becomes more apparent that
the effort to establish this memorial
is to be persisted in, it should behoove
every right-minded .person to do his
or her part in this matter.
The great honor roll of the county
will be those who took up arms at
the call of their state, the second
I honor roll will be those who appre
ciate the performance of duty, brav
ery and patriotism. This last honor
roll is still open. ) '

Any automobile owner can ' give a
boost to a worthy cause by having a

be a lesson well taught amid laughter,
fun, sorrow, grief, and and well,

At the primaries the first ward had
seventy voters present, the second
eighty-eight and the third 101; this
taking into consideration the color

DAY EXERCISES
The Dixie High School closed yes
terday with commencement exercises
consisting of a most interesting and
attractive series of folk dances. A
large crowd was present, and fully
enjoyed the entertainment. The com
mencement address was made by Mr.
Bates of Rocky Mount, in which he
congratulated the faculty of the
school on the splendid work it had
done during the past year, and in
praise of the splendid exercises of
the commencement day.
After the address came a picnic
dinner. It is useless to try to de
scribe this dinner. Only one who
was present can fully realize how
every one enjoyed him or herself,
and when asked to tell about it can
only say, "Oh is was, was was
well it was just great."
The afternoon was filled, with ath
letic stunts. Even to those that do
not as a rule follow athletics, the ex
hibition given by the Dixie school
yesterday was fully enjoyed. The
entire day was but another of Dixie's
successes.
Prizes were given to Miss Mary
Brake for having made the highest
average during the year, and having
no absences or tardy marks against
her for the entire session. To Miss
Bertha Bulluck for art; Emmie Mae
Calhoun, sewing; Willaim Worsley
and John Cook for manual training.

(By Bertram E. Brown.)
Be y doers of th word, and
not hearers only. St. Jamas
1:22. ,
The difficulty the Blessed Lord
found when He was on earth and the
difficulty He still finds, is not in eet-
ting people' to listen to Him, but in
getting them to obey Him. Crowds
of people went to hear Jesus preach,
thousands and thousands of them
followed Him all around the country1
listenered to Him, yet at the end of
His life only about one hundred and
twenty people believed in Him and
Any kind of Christian propaganda,
set out to do His will. It is so yet.
delivered with any attractiveness at
all, gets crowds to hear It, but still
the large majority, after hearing, go '
on in lives as far off from the life of
Christ as ever.
Indeed, hearing the words of Christ
made people sin worse than ever. He
preached a sermon in His own home
town of Nazareth that moved the
people to try to kill Him. Sometimes
now, hearing a sermon makes a man
go out and do better, sometimes It
serves him entirely untouched and)
different, and sometimes it provoke
him to do the very things it was
meant to correct. We have had more
preaching in Tarboro here this past,
year than ever before and yet one
hears more of low down goings on,
in circles both high and low.
Here are some of the reasons why
one hears and does not obey.:
1. He thinks the word was meant
for his neighbor, but not for him
self. .
2. He talked so much about what
a fine sermon it was. that all his en
thusiasm was spent by the time he
came to practice it. -
8. He objected to some little tide
issue in the sermon so fiercely that
he forgot the main truth which was
able to save his soul, v I t "
4. He felt so deeply the pathos of
the temr'uM u'B 'ttd by
the eloquence of it," that he took it
all out in feeling,. It Is sometimes a
fatal thing for a man to cry at a ser
mon or a hymn, for he is apt to do'
nothing else after he dries his eyes.
5. He puts off doing the - good
things he is nrged to do, and a,thing
deferred seldom ever is performed.
6. He thinks of what a fine ser- -mon
it was, or of what a good "man
preached it, or of what a fine church
it was preached In, and loses right
of God who was behind it all. Elo-
h;".v uvr Human goooness, " nor
any earthly thing ever moved a soul
to holiness. Faith in God is neces
sary. ".
