entertainment DENOUNCED.
DIR. BRoUGHTON HAS STIRRED UP
ANOTHER SENSATION.

Declares Presentation Given I'm
Atlanta Last Night Was Making
Light of MatrimOny-The Enter
tninment and Its Promoters De-
tended by DIR. Landrum-It Was
Written by Nsrs. VI. 4. LIpscOmb of
Lucy Cobb Twelve Years Ago.
Atlanta. Ga, May 1S.-No sooner had
Or. L. C. Broughton returned from the
Southern Baptist Convention in Hot
Springs than he stirred up another SEN
satiou. but this time some fifty lady
members of the First Baptist Church are
primarily the object if his castigation.
These ladies compose what is known
as the Sorosis Society. Mrs. Vassar
Woolley. the vice president, planned
unique entertainment at the Grand to-
night to raise funds to build a bay COZ
tage at the Baptist Orphans Home, at
Hapeville. The entertainment is desig-
mated The Liliputian and Brobdignagian
Wedding"
DR.. Broughton denounces the entertain
ment as farce and mock of the sacred
bond of matrimony. He says he believes
If 1t were possible for God to weep He
an occasion of frolic and frivolty, and
charges that Atlanta already looks upon
the marriage bond as joke, and points
to the divorce courts for confirmation or
this statement. He says il is a sicken-
ing spectacle to see a lot of children ana
men singing coon songs, and then wind
ing up, according to published reports,
with dancing.
The Baptist ministers meeting last
Monday condemned the entertainment.
prs. Broughton and Landrum were abb
sent from this meeting. The latter comes
out in a salty card, severely scoring DIR.
Broughton and defending the entertain
ment He thinks Broughton's objection
will increase the attendance, and can't
see why the ladies should have consulted
him before announcing the entertainment.
Mrs. Vassar Woolley, speaking of the
entertainment, says the ceremony that
will be used tonight was written many
years ago by my aunt, Mrs. M. A. Lips
comb. of Lucy Cobb Institute. per-
Torrance was given in Athens twelve
years ago the same as we are going TO
give tonight 1t was witnessed by Prof.
William Rutherford, my grandfather, who
was for thirty-fve years professor of
mathematics in the State University. No
man in Georgia ever stood higher In
the love and respect of the church folk
of this country than he did, and he saw
nothing wrong with it. Mrs Lpscomb
would not have written anything that
was wrong. They and their friends who
witnessed ii in Athens years ago sane
toned the entertainment and enjoyed 1t,
and l. for one, cannot see how any body
could object to it.

Still FIGHTING IN LU1ON.
End Of Rainy Season Brings New
HostiIities.
GREAT ACTIVITY IN SAMAR.
Americans Plan n Vigorous Campaign
Against Gen. Lukban - Force Under
Hare VIII Take Energetic Measures
End of War May BE Near.

Manila, Nov. 20.-Last week wit
rebel and American activity in the
field. Many skirmishes and several
small engagements took place in
Northern and Southern LuZon. The
termination of the rains permits a
resumption of operations on both
sides. The Americans are undertake
ing series of aggressive movements
against the insurgents, notably upon
the island of Samar, against General
Lukban, whose forces hold the entire
island, with the exception Of three
coast towns, each of which is garri-
soned by two companies of the
Twenty-Linth infantry and platoon
of artillery. The rebels are continu-
ally shooting into the garrisoned towns
and the Americans have not been num-
erous enough to retaliate effectively.
Commerce in Samar has been at a
standstill, and most of the influential
inhaultants have departed. General
Hare has arrived there with $50 men.
he will bring eight companies OF the
Second infantry from the island OF
Martinique, as they may be needed,
and will proceed theoretically to
crush General Lukban. Meanwhile
United States gunboats will patrol the
coast to prevent the escape of the in
surgent leader. Lukban still holds
three members Of the Forty-third regi-
ment prisoners. The rifles which the
party of Captain Devereaux Shields of
Company f, Twcnty-ninth volunteer
infantry, lost last September in Marin
duQue, at the time of the capture, have
not yet been recovered from all the
insurgents All Of the Martinique
garrisons are being continued.

Little has been said. and probably
as little thought, of the benefcent
work done by the railroads in aiding
and promoting the measures set on
foot for the relief of stricken Calves
ton. Thousands of refugees from that
city received free transportation to any
part Of the country, and immense
quantities OF supplies were rushed for
ward without charge. This ready re-
Spouse to the cry Of human needs char
acterized all the great railway systems
of the country, the express, telegraph,
and telephone companies. The cash
value of the services thus rendered is
as impossible to estimate as the
amount of human suffering and misery
they helped to alleviate.

Fear Yellow Fever Peril.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 20.-Alarm con-
tinues to be felt in the south over the
spread of yellow fever at Natchez and
Brook Haven, in this state. While 1t
is hoped that the fever will be speedily
stamped out and the state board is
working hard to accomplish that re-
suit, yet the new cases reported from
day to day cause fear that the health
department will be unable to hold the
dreaded disease in check. DR.. Cant,
chief inspector for the state board of
health, to-day reported one case OF
the disease at Brook Haven uGd two
at Natchez. The victims of tao fever
are being closely watched by represent
atives of the state board.
