MINISTERS WANT
STATE PROHIBITION
AT A MEETING OF EVANGELICAL
MINISTERS LIQUOR CUES
TIoN WAS DISCUSSED.

About 80 Of the ministers of the evan
gelIcal churches met in the basement OF
Trinity Methodist church at II a. m. Nom
ward Avenue Baptist church, presided.
Rev. T. c. Cleveland, the nestor OF Pres
byterian preachers in Atlanta, is the sec
rotary OF the association.
The main subject for discussion was
on The Churches Relation to the
Prohibition Cause in Georgia" led by DR..
John E. White. He began by saying that
he believed in a free pulpit. a free church
and free state. The church should not
dictate to the state nor the state TO the
church.
He said the attitude Of the church to
the liquor traffic should be. and is, one
Of answering and incorporating hos
tility. They can have nothing in COM
mon and the church in Georgia should
seek TO mould public opinion against the
saloon.
Rev. Len G. Broughton, pastor Of the
Tabernacle Baptist church, agreed with
DR.. White In all he had said. but said he
did not think he had gone far enough
The Tabernacle pastor said the real Ques-
ton before the state now is state prohibit
ton as opposed TO local option. As a min
lister, he said. he could not advocate any
thing but absolute state prohibition II
that could not be secured. he would take
the next best thing. If 1t should be a
state dispensary.
The inter-denominational temperance
committee advises all its friends TO not
vote for any candidate who is not pledged
to state prohibition, If that can be secur-
ed DR.. Broughton said that the pastors
should advise their people how 70 vote In
the coming election. Not many Methodist
or Baptist pastors WIN go that far, but
win preach on general principles and give
no instructions as TO how to vote He said
he would advise his flock to vote for Du-
pont Query or some other prohibition
candidate. He said local option had serv-
ed its day. The best thing the whisky
dealers want is local option for the sake
Of the jug trade. He said he went TO Car
tersville once and was surprised TO see
the enormity of the jug trade there.

~ TO BE FOUGHT
Students Are Said To Be Opposed to
the Measure of Senator -
Ellis.

University law students are making a
strong protest against that portion of the
Ellis bill requiring students TO go before
the regular examination boards II they
do not complete the two years course
which provides that the law go into eff
feet from and after its passage. Friends
OF the law schools claim IL would be a
serious blow to such schools If passed.
and a committee from the law class Of
Mercer university has been appointed to
have this feature Of the bill modified. The
committee consists OF johnson. of Camb-
bell; Stapleton. of Terrell; Lamar, Of
Hancock: Mooty, Of Troup. and Watson,
Of oglethorpe.
These students do not object to the
measure OF Senator Ellis. but do object to
the provision that makes It retroactive
in their case. The measure provides that
the bill shall 20 into effect Immediately
upon its passage.
1t is impossible for many of the Mercer
law students to complete that course
says Mr.. Watson. They have worked and
toiled and saved up means. just enough
IN the case Of many, to finish up the one
years course, as now required by law.
The state is now operating under the
Slaton law as to the examinations of APP
plicants for admission to the bar The
board consists of three lawyers, Washing
ton Dessau of Macon, chairman; Joseph

EvASIVE ANSWERS
FROM RAILROADS

Chairman G. v. Gress of the special de-
pot committee, appointed by the legisla-
ture to revise some plan by which de-
pot could be constructed on the property
of the state, received answers from the
railroad companies on Saturday afternoon
declining to renew the proposition made
the legislature last year, provided the
state should erect a new union station.
And now it is up to the state to devise
some plan by which a new depot can be
built The answers which we're received
from the various railroad companies were
evasive and intimated that 1t was time
for the state TO suggest plan.
A committee consisting of Senator Ro-
land Ellis of Bib, Representative Davis
Of Meriwether and Representative Thomp-
son of Dooly has been appointed to make
the railroads a proposition. This commit
tee Is to meet today, when the legisla-
ture returns from Savannah. The mem
bers of the committee say they have sew
eral schemes to present to the railroad
men as yet, and they hope to reach
satisfactory conclusion before the house
adjourns.

ALABAMA NEGROES
TO FORM SOCIAL UNION

HUNTsvILLE.t Ala. Nov 5.--There is
a gossip here that after the ratification
OF the new constitution OF all the negroes
who can vote under the good character
clause and others who can in any way
come In under the new constitution Will
form themselves into social union. The
better element OF negroes realize the ut
ter hopelessness OF defeating the ratifia-
cation OF the new document and are look
ing ahead. BY forming themselves into
a union II is thought that they will not
be classed with the roaving horde Of
worthless negroes in the state who are
detrimental. not only 10 their race but
good government. While the best ele-
ment of the negroes will probably take
such a course as this others threaten that
they viii leave the state. No one will
