Prior to 1915 there were in the United
States no postage stamps of any sort. Two
years before that date Great Britain had
been experimenting, with some degree of
success. and in 1915 the postmasters of

that time ii had been the custom to dis
patch mail without the prepayment of

The Rev. Len G. Broughton, pastor of
the Baptist Tabernacle, will not leave At
lanta to go TO Boston. He announced his
decision TO his congre cation Sunday night.
According to his decision, neither the Hub
City nor any other city can secure his
permanent pastoral services, as he has
made up his mind, so far as the matter
rests with him, that he is n fixture and
intends to live and die in Atlanta. He
said:
"It has been reported here and elsewhere
that have been thinking of leaving At
lanta. want to say that. after carefully
going over everything, that am, so far as
I am concerned. a fixture In Atlanta and
intend to live and die here"
The announcement of DIR. Broughton
of his decision was received with eager
interest by the members of his flock and
others Of the large congregation who had
assembled to hear him. There was an at
tempt at applause, but this was quickly
suppressed by the choir singing: Praise
God from Whom All Blessings Flow"
In his sermon Sunday night announcing
his decision DIR. Broughton outlined for
the first time his policy with the taber-
nacle. What he said in this connection
will probably be startling TO Baptists and
other denominations. in view of some of
its doctrinal bearings, Here are some of
the things he will advocate:
l. Premillenial coming of Christ.
?. Second blessing and present day Pen
ticostal mower.
3. Absolute prohibition OF card players,
theatregoers. club members and the like.
4. Denial of higher criticism in referring
Biblical Interpretation to the scholarship
of today
8. Religion in politics.
DR.. Broughton's theme was Tabernacle
ism; What We Stand For" His text was
stand by the Faith" which was taken
from First Corinthians. xvi Is. He said in
part:
The order of the day is life. Dead
creeds and formalities have been. thrown
aside. The world demands right to be.
A name. a creed and a membership may
constitute a church club but not church
OF Jesus Christ. A church OF Jesus Christ
must live as well as believe. We press the
claim OF thu Tabernacle because of what
IL stands for.
THE GOD-MADE BOOK.
81. 1t stands for the God-made book. To

no stock in biblical criticism which at
tempts to go further than revision OF
the language of the Bible. The theory OF
Interpolation we believe to. be of the
Devil To argue that God made the Bible
and then let the Devil interpolate be-
trays a lack OF confidence in God. We be-
lieve God made IL as he wanted 1t and
watched II after he made 1t. The theory
OF the higher critic makes God out fool.

Position Offered DIR. Mcdowell

firmed from authoritative sources
that the wardenship of the State
penitentiary has been rendered to

The board of control met today to
elect officials for the next two
years, but after secret session
Of several hours deferred the mat
ter until the next meeting, when
the selection will be ma le. 1t is
believed that Warden Parch-
man has intimated that he does
not care to continue in the posi-
tion. The records of the insti-
tuition show that he has been a
rarely capable official from bust
ness standpoint.-Clarion Ledger.

been regularly checked up at the
end of each month and found to be
correct.
Mr.. May offered to amend by
adding the following:
awe hereby reprimand the
warden for his conduct in failing
to report the receipts and disburse-
ments of the said sum of $91.30,
and he is hereby ordered and re-
CURED hereafter to file each mouth
with his monthly report, vouchers
in support of his personal expense

| Mr.. McInnis offered to amend
the amendment by inserting the
words, I'VE distinctly disapprove
the conduct of the warden,'' In
lieu of "we hereby reprimand the
warden" The amendment to the
amendment was discussed at some
length and the vote was as fol-
lows: Ayes, Messrs. Longino,
McClurg and McInnis; nays,
Messrs. Nav and Kincannon. The
amend amendment was then adopt
ed by vote of 4 to l, Messrs
Longino, McClurg, McInnis and
May voting aye and Mr.. Kincan-
nay.
Mr.. Kincannon offered the fol-
lowing substitute for the original
resolution as amended:
"Whereas, the evidence shows
that the warden collected the sum
of $91 80, which he had withheld
from his reports to this board until
this investigation was instituted
and.
"Whereas, the evidence shows
that the said sum was collected on
January 18th, 1901, and the war;
den makes no effort to show the
use of any part of this sum until
February 18th. 1901, more than
thirty days after the collection,
and.
"Whereas, on February 4th or
9th, 1901, after the collection, the
warden filed a report to this board
purporting to show the receipts for
the month Of January. 1901, and,
"Whereas this amount does not
appear therein, therefore, be it
ordered by the board that the
warden was guilty Of embezzling
the amount OF $91,30 up to and
including February, 18th, 1901,
"And it is further ordered by
the board that the evidence does
not show conclusively that the
money expended in the mule trades
and for guns was the proceeds of
this draft for $91,30, since the
warden's unsupported testimony to
that effect should be excluded for
the reason that the warden was
guilty of swearing falsely while
witness in this case.
BE it further ordered by the
board, that the evidence shows
that the warden did attempt to
secure the books of the sergeant
on the Levy place before the inves-
tigating committee could see

The substitute was ct once voted
