PASTOR GAVE POTTED ROSES
LIVELY TIMES IN THE RELIC
IOUS CIRCLES OF A NORTH
GEORGIA TOWN,

GAINESVILLE, Ga.-Rev. T. NJ.
Elliott of st. Pauls Methodist
church, in pursuance of a plan of
campaign which he has been conduct
ing, gave every person in his con-
gregation on Easter sunday a potted
blooming rose.
At least 1900 persons were esti-
mated to have been in the congre-
CATION
When Mr.. Elliott came to Gaines
vile by direction of the North Geor-
gia Conference he began an advertis-
ing campaign, the success of which,
it is said, has aroused jealousies.
He bought space in the newspapers,
scattered handbills and finally got
out a weekly paper of his own.
AS a result his congregation has
grown from the usual fifty or sixty
until standing room in the church is
now at a premium, and he is plan
ming to have a gallery built to ac-
commOdate the crowds.
Rev. Mr.. Elliott is much dis
treSsed, however, over the fact that
he now has to send to Atlanta to
have his printing done and to pub
lish his paper. He asserts that a
conspiracy has been formed against
him as a result of which the print
ing offices in Gainesville have refused
to do any work for him.
The newspapers, it is stated have
shut him off, and the correspond
ents for out of town papers appear
to have been silenced.
Notwithstanding the alleged con-
spiracy Rev Mr.. Elliott has not de-
waited from his policy, and the re-
suit is Gainesville, religiously, is all
split up. The indications point to a
possible church war" which may
prove highly interesting.

SACCHARINE is OUTLAWED
PURE FOOD LAW KNOCKS OUT
USE OF COAL TAR SWEET
ENING IN GEORGIA.

Soda water bOttlers, druggists, can
dy-makers and others who use sac
charine for sweetening their products
are tup against" the pure food law
in this state.
1t is decreed that this coal-tar de-
rivative will have to 'skid-do0" from
Georgia. This means that products
in which it has entered heretofore,
such as carbonated drinks, will have
to be favored with chemically pure
sugar. The result will be that
prices may go up little, as the cost
of production will be greater.
The enforcement of the law has
already created something of a panic
among the bottlers in the larger
cities, as it is there that the first
notice was given of the enforcement
of the law. The Savannah News
says of the ruling:
The pure food law blanket has
been stretched far enough to exclude
the use of saccharine, and pure food
I inspectors are now devoting their at
tentiOn to the exclusion of this sub
stitute for sugar. Saccharine has
been prohibited on the ground that
it is a preservative, that the use of
the product is harmful, and that its
continued use results in injury to the
system.
Soft Drink BottIers.
"BottIers of soft drinks are par
ticularly interested in the enforce
ment of the regulation against the
use of saccharine. Those who use
saccharine instead of sugar are in
terested because sugar is great
deal more expensive, and those who
have sweetened their goods with
pure sugar are interested because
their competitors who use the cheap
err sweetening are in a position to
cut the price on them.
THE ball was started rolling a
few days ago when Travelling Inspec-
tor P. H. Methvin came to Savannah
and went over the situation with the
local pure food inspector. The bot
tiers were all furnished with copies
of the pure food regulations and in
structed specially with reference to
the use of saccharine."

The last convention Of the Elks was
held at Parsons. This little south
eastern Kansas town did itself proud
by the entertainment afforded to the
Elks. Every hack in the city was
decorated with purple and gold
colors. In every store the girl clerks
wore purple aprons, while the men
wore purple neckties. The local COM
mittee would like to see the Topeka
people do as much.
In order to make the convention
successful the aid of the Commercial
club was enlisted and some good work
was done by this progressive organiza-
ton. Money was subscribed to pro-
mote the convention and everything
that the club could do was cheerfully
done.

business men, especially those along

places of business, with the purple and

city in special cars. This is a good
innovation in the reception of dele
gates. People come to Topeka to con-

and spend the remainder of the time
at the Auditorium and state house,
