 Tax Returns STORMY TIME BY PASTORS Controversy Arises Over the Torrey and Alexander Meetings, There Be-
 Ing Difference of Opinion
 Concerning Them.
STORMY TIME BY PASTORS

Atlanta, June 23-(Special. )-Tax Col | lector Andy Stewart is fairly besieged with letters from the various tax collectors of Georgia inquiring into his method Of procedure when he issued papers against the Yirginia-Carolina Chemical company, the Armour Fertilizer company and the Swift Fertilizer company for the alleged failure to return their property in this county for its full value. Richmond, Chat ham and Muscogee counties each having branch office of these companies resi- dent there seem to be taking the initiative in this matter and will probably institute similar action, judging from the tone of the inquiries received from Augusta, Sar vannah and Columbus.
 Fulton county is to sue for about s2oo'ooo in back taxes and these other counties will probably lay claim for about the same amount.
 Stormy Pastors Meeting.
 Perhaps the hottest minister's meeting ever held in Atlanta took place today during the session of the Methodist Min isters association when Dr. c. O. Jones' pastor of St. Marks Methodist church, on the floor of the meeting denounced the statement made by a visiting brother, Dr. J. T.

MT Watts disclaimed any reflection on Dr. Jones and concluded by saying: T wish to withdraw what I said"
 The storm blew over and the associa- ton adopted resolutions endorsing the Terrey- Alexander meetings. While this theme was being discussed by the Meth odists the same was being discussed by the Baptists, who had opposed Dr. Tor rey and who did not think great good had been accomplished by his revival here E. Y. Clark, religious editor of the Atlanta Constitution. who stirred up a statewide story by publishing these facts brought out in the meeting, appeared before the ministers and stated that his story was correct and that he had noth- ing to retract. All other newspaper men were debarred and the ministers went into executive session. The ministers will is- sue a statement to the press Tuesday setting alright the ministers and the news paper men,
 Will March to the Sea.
 Another March to the Sea- is announc- ed.
