CROWDS VISIT THE SENATE
To Hear the Opening Prayer By Gen.
Booth.

Washington, Special.-An immense
crowd was attracted to the Senate Fri
day to hear the invocation of General
VIM. Booth. founder and commander
in-chfef Of the Salvation Army Among
the occupants Of the galleries were
Booth Tucker, the generals chief as
sistant and son-in-law and a large
number of Salvationists. When the
statehood bill came up, Mr.. Depew re-
sumed his remarks, and attacked the
Mormon Church because he said he
believed It's members still cling to the
practice OF polygamy. Referring to the
anti-polygamy provision in the State
hood bill, Mr.. Depew said that it would
seem that ''the fine Italian hand Of the
Mormon apostle had been at work in
the preparation OF the measure and
that the concentrated influence OF tine
Mormon hierarchy could be seen in
the determined effort to prevent any
amendment which would completely
exclude pOlygamy" 1t is not disputed
he said, that the vote OF the Mormon
Church is absolutely controlled by the
central hierarchy of that organization.
He declared that the migration of Nor
mons to the different States and Ter
ritories was not for the purpose Of Sc
curing homes and farms, but in the
rough compact to control legisla-
ton.
Any legislation. Mr. Rawlins de-
clared. in any State directed at Nor
mOnism is futile, unless there is a
public sentiment which will sustain
the same, while the question was not
as to the inadequacy of the provisions
against polygamy, but as to the exer.
else OF political power. Persecution is
the seed Of the Mormon Church, he de-
clared, and 1t did not do any good to
arraign the entire people and brand
every Mormon as slave, most un-
just accusation. ITO do that" he said
you sOlidify those who would aid you
in bringing about the very conditions

he said, for the correction OF these
evils, is to emancipate the Mormons
| and leave them free to work out their
own destinies.
| Mr.. Dubois said he did not think the
| reference of the opponents of state
hood to poiygamy were serious. He
| declared that if the statehood bill is
| allowed to be put on the postoffice ap-
preparation bill he would consent to it
and advocate the placing of the Idaho

POSTMASTER nULLEN IS OUT.
Mr.. Smith Appointed TO Succeed to
the Office

Charlotte, y. c.. Special.-Mr. w. n.
Mullen was last week removed from
the Office OF postmaster OF this city on
the third charge. II will be remem-
bered that the first charge against him
was for intoxication. This was set
tied in a way satisfactory to the de-
partment. and Mullen was retained.
The second charge was that a shortage
of several hundred dollars appeared In
his books. This was some weeks ago.
but Mullen showed that the shotage
was fully covered. and again was re-
tained. Last week. however. the
charge was urged that ne had failed TO
weigh second-class matter. and that as
a result the government had lost a
large sum of postage. Mr.. Mullen was
then relieved and the question OF a
successor came up. Mr.. Geo. B. Hiss
was rendered the position, but declin-
ed. Mr.. r. W. Smith was then ab-
pointed. Several kilograms were sent
TO the department and to Senator
Pritchard urging the withdrawal OF
Mr.. Smiths name. but this action was
not taken, and 1t Is likely that his ap-
pointment will be confirmed.

OBITUARY..
George w. Collier. Atlanta.

Atlanta, June 2O.-George Washing
ton Collier, without doubt the oldest
citizen of Fulton county, and perhaps
the wealthiest, died at his home on
Peachtree road this morning about 2
O'Clock. at the advanced age of 80
years.
In spite of his advanced years he
would have doubtless lived several
years longer had not death been has
tened by a malady that has kept him
an invalid for the last three months.
His death was due primarily to stom-
ach trouble
Mr.. Collier was an aggressive bust
ness man and lent his energies chiefly
to acquiring real estate. Among other
property he was the owner of $50 acres
on the Peachtree road just beyond the
city limits, said to be worth $1,000 an
acre. He was the owner of the Aragon
Hotel, which was built under his SUI
pervision, and much other choice city
property is included in his large es-
tate. AS most of his property is in real
estate IL is difficult to estimate his
wealth.
Mr.. Collier was born near Law
renceville, i'll GWinnett county, Nov. 49,
1913, and moved 10 Fulton county
when only nine years old, and before
any idea existed that there would ever
be such a city as Atlanta. Mr.. Collier
lived largely an out-of-door life For
several years about the early forties
he was the driver of the stage coach
between Marietta and Decatur. When
the state road was built and it's term
mus, the predecessor of Marthasville,
afterwards Atlanta, came into exist
ence, Mr.. Collier was appointed post
master of the little village by Presi-
dent James K Polk After his term
expired he went to farming and then
began his accumulations which made
him such a wealthy man. His wife,
who was Miss Neighbors, died about
ten years ago. He leaves three sons
and two daughters, George w. Collier
Jrp virgil Collier, Roy Collier, Misses
Elizabeth and Lula Collier.
The funeral viii take place to-mor-
row afternoon at 2 o'clock.

dren. There are different ways of
packing. Some candy is put up in
thirty-pound pals, and some in ave-
pound boxes. The price per pound is
substantially the same.
If a grocer has a department of this
character he should always keep a
supply of pennies for change Give
these to the children who enter the
store and majority of them will get
back again within twenty-four hours,
provided the grocer has what the child
wants. The experience of successful
men proves that these suggestions will
lead to profitable results if followed out
along right lines.
The assertion has been made that a
grocer could afford to give every child,
who entered his store two or three
pieces of candy, because it would in
crease his trade so much. This may
be an exaggerated view of the mat
ter, but it is worth some considera-
ton for all that
