01 SOCIAL WORLD
(All Items of social Interest will be gladly
noted in these columns if sent to Mrs.
George C. Ball, Nineteenth street, between
Tenth and Eleventh avenues, South High
lands. Telephone 988.)
This great nineteenth century of ours,
which throbs and pulsates with Its divine
messages to humanity, is called the age
of enlightenment because of the Won
derful realizations In science. Inventions,
literature and every other direction,
which tends towards the elevation and
advancement of our race. It Is also
called an age of religious freedom, a pe
riod when mankind can worship their
Creator in whatever form and service
that is deemed necessary and desirable
by individuals. But can it be such a
period of religious independence when
the press of the country is tilled with the
terrible records of recent happenings in
far away Armenia, and yet the govern
ments of the world sit supinely by aud
receive these heartrending particulars
of barbarities, scarcely conceivable by
ordinary humanity, and still make no ef
. fort to prevent their recurrence? The
nearness of the peoples of the earth be
cause of cable and telegraph wires, be
cause of rap!* and constant travel,
makes every question of moment trans
piring in every section of the globe a
matter of immediate concern to the dif
ferent nations. No civilized country
can claim ignorance of the questions
which agitate other Inations, whether
close or remote. We are bound together
by electric wires, which not only flash the
daily histories of nations from one point
of the globe to another, but the people of
the earth are connected by invisible wires
of mutual sympathy, which touch human
hearts, whether they beat in the breasts
of Americans, Kngllshmen, Frenchmen,
or that beneath the furs of Russian,
Dane or Swede. And wherever these un
seen threads of human sympathy reach,
whatever longitude or latitude they tra
verse, the indignation of the world has
been aroused by the atrocities recently
committed upon the Armenians by the
heathen Moslems. These things have
been transpiring for many months, and
barbarities almost beyond conception by
Armenians have been the subject for
public discussion for ulmost a twelve
month, yet no positive action is taken
by any nation in behalf of these helpless
Christians, who are being daily sacri
ficed to Turkish hatred. It is hopeful 10
chronicle that the citizens of America are
beginning to speak in no uncertain tones
regarding this outrage upon the civiliza
tion of this nineteenth century. Dr. P.
T. Hale, who lias recently returned from
a several months' visit to Palestine,
Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, Syria and
Egypt, will preach tonight upon "Ar
menian Atrocities," from a point of per-,
sonal observation. America is the great,
the tremendous conservator of the re
ligious and political freedom of the
world, and the voice of Individual Ameri
cans, raised ir. behalf of the persecuted
and down-trodden of every nation, ren
ders possible the power that America
wields in the affairs of the world. The
rations of Kurope aro still halting in
their demands upon Turkey, each con
cerned about its own policies, and the
"balance of power;” it may be that
American citizens, by the strength of
combined and universal protest, may
effect what the rulers of Kurope hesitate
to accomplish. Dr. A. W. Whittle, who
was a member of Dr. Hale’s party—he
really was director of the Journey—has
recently been Interviewed on this Ar
menian question by an exchange, and
gives the following views of the situation
from his personal observation and ex
perience:
"The travelers were In Turkey only
three weeks ago, and while there saw
many evidences of the outrages now be
ing perpetrated upon the helpless Arme
nians and of the condltipn of semi-an
archy prevailing in the sick man’s realm.
Mr. Whittle talked entertainingly yes
terday of his experience over there.
"When at Salonlca he saw the flames
of a neighborfng city which had been
set on fire after most of Its inhabitants
had been put to the sword. At Alexan
drietta, on the northeastern coast of the
Mediterranean, he witnessed a formid
able riot. Six thousand Turkish soldiers
were quartered there, penniless, in re
ceipt of no pay, sleeping on the ground,
with no immediate probability of being
ordered on active service, amfrAJius being
restored to a semblance of discipline.
Some of these fellows surrounded Mr.
Whittles party and captured the Rev.
Mr. Lynch of Danville, Ky„ and young
Sam Jones, holding them prisoners for
some time.
"In northern Syria the Armenian
Christians came to see Mr. Whittle's
party, and gave them terrible details of
atrocities inflicted upon the Christians by
the Mohammedans, who had murdered
whole families and plundered their
dwellings. The English and Armenian
tradesmen in Turkey and the consuls of
those countries corroborated the stories
of rapine and massacre and robbery.
Mr. Whittle believes that the outcome of
the trouble depends upon the combined
action of the powers. He had a letter
from Secretary Herbert of the navy de
partment to Lord Seymour, the admiral
commanding the British Mediterranean
squadron, and he is firmly of the opinion
that that fleet has been the chief factor
in preventing the Turkish excesses from
atainlng even greater proportions. Eng
land he regards as the great police force
of the world. The outrages might be
Stopped, he asserts, if the other powers
would only unite with Great Britain to
that end.”

That was a magnificent victory won
by Auburn on Thanksgiving Day in At
lanta. The heart of every Alabamian
thrilled with prijle at the result of the
match game between the Alabama boys
and the University of Georgia team,
whether the judgment of the owner of
the heart approved of football or not.
Georgia has a most unfortunate habit
of claiming—and usually getting—every
thing in sight, and to have our youths
come out of an honorable contest so far
In advance of the Georgia students is
exceedingly refreshing. Especially is
this the case when our State university
team has been so overwhelmingly de
feated three times this season. But this
defeat, like most misfortunes, will bring
Its reward; for, as the members of the
team at Tuskaloosa have demonstrated
that they are not able to play this sea
son, they may be more willing to de
vote their time and energies to their
studies. The increasing public disap
proval of football and baseball excur
sions by students of our universities will
eventually put a stop to these hurtful
practices which now obtain at our col
leges. It is absurd to expect boys who
devote their time constantly to football
and baseball practice to study and ad
vance mentally as they should. While
physical strength is essential to proper
mental development, it is impossible for
any boy, no matter how gifted, to be
come the student he should if he is al
ways preparing for a match game of
-athletics and taking jaunts to various
towns to play these games. And the
fatal results attending many games of
football have aroused public opinion on
the subject to a degree which indicates
the future decline of the sport, btili, lr
boys will Play football it is a pleasure
to chronicle the splendid victory of Au
burn over Athens. ^ ^
On New Year’s Day at 3 o’clock In the ,
afternoon at the First Baptist church
one of the sweetest and loveliest of Bir
mingham’s belles will be married to a
sterling manlv young fellow, who has
many friends in Birmingham who re
joice in his merited happiness. There
will be pretty bridesmaids, maid of
honor, ushers, groomsmen, and all the
beautiful appointments of a splendid
wedding pageant; indeed, everything
worthy of the bride who plights her
troth while the New Year’s bells are
"ringing in the true.”
The address of Rev. Owen P. Fitz
simons at Temple Emanuel on Thanks
giving evening was a masterly effort, his
subject being “The Influence of Intention,
Industry and Invention Upon Religious
Thought.” The handsome temple was
crowded with an attractive and appre
ciative audience, packed to the doors;
the music was splendid and the occa
sion altogether was a memorable one in
the religious history of our town.
• • *
Another piece of good fortune came to
Rev. Mr. Fitzsimons during the past
week and it came as a surprise. The
vestry of his church. St. Mary's-on-the
Highlands, without his knowledge, raised
I
his salary to a most gratifying sum with
out the least solicitation on his part. His
remarkable work since coming to Bir
mingham entitles him to every good for
tune that falls to his lot.

An exchange says:
"The very pretty story about General
Lytle writing his famous poem, 'I'm Dy
ing Egypt, Dying!' on the Chlckamauga
battlefield the night before he was killed
In battle Is all a myth and a fgie,” re
marked Editor William Pinckney Smith
of the New Orleans Daily States yester
day.
"The truth Is the poem was written at
least two years before the death of the
poet. It was published before the war
had fairly begun. I have lately received
a graphic description of the death of
General Lytle from an eye witness,
which was published In last Sunday's
Dally States. Nothing could be more in
teresting. He tells how the men in the
camp that night talked about the dead
soldier's poem, ‘I'm Dying, Egypt,Dying.'
It is a very pretty little story, however,
which has gained widespread credence
that the poem was written In camp at
Chlckamauga. The story tells how the
general told his (companions that he
felt that he was going to die, and how
he proceeded to write the poem, but all
this is not true to fact. In the pockets of
General Lytle were found other poems
written by him and several letters from
his wife Inclosing clippings from papers
that had published his poetry.
''There has been some question raised
as to whether General Lytle Is really the
author of the poem or whether it was
not written by a man down In Missis
sippi. There can be no doubt, however,
that the poem was written by General
Lytle, but It seems evident that it was
wi'itten some time before the war.”
