ERWIN COLLINS 'SUCCUMBED
TO ATTACK OF SMALLPOX

Erwin Collins died Sunday morning at
the smallpox hospital after an illness Of
about two weeks with malignant continent
smallpox. This is the fourth death that
has occurred at the smallpox hospital this
winter.
Mr. Collins had not been vaccinated.
When the employees of the Atlanta Rapid
Transit offices were recently vaccinated,
Mr.. Collins, who worked there, refused to
be, on the ground that he had been pois-
oned with poison oak, from which there
was a breaking out every now and then
on his arm and body. For this reason, 1t
is said, he was afraid to be vaccinated.
Mr.. Collins developed smallpox shortly
after his refusal to be vaccinated. He
was taken sick at his boarding house, but
went to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. j.
Campbell, on the Boulevard, where 1t was
afterward discovered that he was suffer-
ing from smallpox in its most virulent
form He was Immediately removed to
the hospital This was on February T.
The disease became more violent and re-
suited in the death of the young man Sun
day morning.
Mr.. Collins was about % years old. He
was the son of Mayor Collins, of West
Point, who is a prominent and influential
citizen in that portion of the state. Mayor
and Mrs. Collins were in Atlanta at the
time of their sons death. They are at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs w. ]. Campbell.
Mrs. Collins is i'll with appendicitis, which
developed since she came to Atlanta.
None of the four persons who have died
from smallpox this winter had been vac
cinated. Most of the smallpox has been
of a mild form and the percentage of
death has only been IL per cent. which is
very small. In some states the average
has been % per cent.

ANTITRUST LAW
IS CONSTITUTIONAL
SUCH is THE DECISION OF JUDGE
NOTTINGHAM IN AN IMPoR-
TANT CASE.

MACON, Feb. 2.-J ldge W. D. Noting
ham, Of Macon's city court, has construed
the state antitrust law to be constitu-
tional and not in contravention Of the in
terstate commerce laws. The question
came to him through case filed by the
Jones Grocery company Of Macon, against
the National Biscuit company. The plain
tiff sought to enforce a penalty and collect
damages under the provisions of the anti
trust law, claiming it had been charged
an arbitrary price for biscuits. The de-
PENDANT company demurred on the ground
that the antitrust law is unconstitutional
and cannot be enforced. The court de-
cided that the plaintiff could not recover
damages because none were shown, and 1t
decided that the plaintiff could not have
a penalty imposed on the defendant be-
cause only the attorney general of the
state can have the penalty enforced
These were the two vital points in the
plaintiffs case, and it lost both Of them
The defendant also lost because the court
held that the antitrust law is valid and
constitutional. This means that If plain
tiff wants to use the law against the de-
PENDANT company it must move through
the attorney general.

Sermon

In the 18th chapter OF 1st Corinthians,
Paul speaks to US concerning spiritual
gifts and their uses in the church Of God
The text under consideration reveals
the responsibility Of every individual Tor
the proper use OF the gift received.
There comes q time when God calls up
on every man TO give an account OF MS
stewardship. Happy the man who, when
his Lord cOmeth. shall hear the plaudit
well done. Thou hast been faithful over
q few things. be thou ruler over many.
A variety OF gifts in the church Is the
ordering OF God. and Is therefore necessa-
~. In the carrying on OF the great work
designed OF God. in the establishing OF
the church In the world. all Of the different
aspects OF human life must be met To DO
this there must be an agency employed
which viii meet the various conditions OF
life. No one man can be expected 10 pos
sess an OF the qualifications necessary 10
meet these various conditions
"Au have not the same gift, but the
same Lord Is over all"
Every man. therefore, IS responsive Tor
doing that which belongs TO him. As each
member OF the human body has its respec-
tive functions 10 perform. so each mem
