Neglect and Ignorance of the Bible Across Society
A public debate ignites over widespread Bible neglect among educated people and the general public. College professors warn that both Old and New Testaments are less familiar, eroding moral and literary understanding as once common among earlier generations. The Washington Post notes a current lack of thorough acquaintance with sacred teachings and its waning influence on thought.

Billiken and Flat-Head Are Our Two Egoists

Georgia Prosperity Hopes Amid Political Rhetoric
A Murky column notes Sumter County macadam roads as prosperity, recalls McLendon antics, and mocks Georgia politics. It cites Senator Harrell on gypsies traveling to boost trade, fears for hen roosts, and Harry Thaw’s book plea. It contrasts Senate resistance to income tax with call for action, mocks local correspondents, and questions prohibition’s link to intemperance. It ends urging workers to unite beyond tariff talk to sustain Georgia’s prosperity.
Political tensions on education and press ethics in the South
The piece notes Chairman Conners suing Collier’s for libel over coverage of white violence in the South. It discusses Georgia and Alabama education bills, opposition to compulsory Black education, and reflections on immigration, farmers, and public response. It also muses on a legislator Heard questioning college value after his son’s poker success, and ends with a civic jab about treating tramps with respect.
