CHURCH MENANCED BY
MEN OF WEALTH
Business Ethics of Some Attendants
VIGOROUSLY Bad.

Chatauqua, N. Y, July 30.-One OF
the great dangers of the Church is
it's domination by men of wealth, ac-
cording to Divinity Dean Smaller Ma
theWs, of the University of Chicago
who lectured on Church problems
here
The first danger is that the preach
er shall be controlled by men whose
ideals are materialized by the stan
dards of an unethical commercialisn
and who would lose money by a gen
uine Christianization of the law? said
DR.. Mathews. This control is some
times explicit, and the preacher is
hidden to keep silence on the Iarger
questions of business morality, and
confine himself to the sort of sins OF
which church attendants are seldom
guilty. There is, for instance, little
opposition to the pastors denouncing
saloons or red light districts, except
in those rare instances in which the
property devoted to immoral purposes
is in the possession of a member of
his congregation.
I'm too many cases a church will
have among its attendants men whose
business ethics are VIGOROUSLY bad
The minister who breaches to con-
gregation thus leavened with corrup-
ton does not need to be a conscious
sycophant or time server to find him
self avoiding subjects which would
tend to ALLEVIATE such persons"

WINDOW Is SMASHED m
BY NEGRO WITH STONE
Rylander Shoe Go. Window
Broken.

A little ten cent black ragmuffin
caused loss of probably one hundred
dollars or more yesterday by smash
ing one of the handsome plate glass
windows in the Lamar street front of
the Rylander Shoe Co. A brace of
black vagabonds, with which the town
is always infested, got into a fight on
Lamar street. The first thought of
any niger in a fight is a razor or
rocks, and in the absence of his blade
yesterday the baboon grabbed a rock
and threw it at the other. 1t crashed
through the window, unfortunately
missing the black target aimed at, as
IL probably might have killed or
manned him, and thus rid the town
OF at least one nuisance The rock
thrower was arrested and Jailed, but
this does not compensate for the loss
of the glass even though it may have
been insured

FROM GRAIN TO BREAD.

Biscuits made from flour, of which
the plump heads of wheat tossed laz-
lily in the morning sun p minutes
before, is the record made at Waits
burg, in the heart of the great grain

to be the worlds record. The wheat
was cut on the farm of Silas Woody.
one of the biggest wheat growers in
the State. Half a hundred residents
of the town witnessed the perform
ance
The various stages of the operation
of converting the growing grain into
biscuits at the time were as follows
9:03-Ripe wheat standing in the
field, harvester ready to start cutting.
9:04-First head clipped from straw
by the heading machine
9:0S-Grain started into the CYL
inder of the thrashing machine run
ming at a tremendous speed.
9:11-Four sacks thrashed, sacked,
sewed, and loaded into an automobile
and raced to the mill.
9:14-Grain received at the mill,
two miles from the field, weighed and
dropped into the receiving hopper;
the four sacks of wheat weighing 535
pounds.
919-First -four appeared at pack
er, having travelled $40 feet in the
milling machinery. J. Sommer, a
German baker, began mixing -four,
baking powder, and water into dough.
In his hurry he forgot to salt the
dough.
9:21-Molded dough was placed in
pans and showed into an oven.
9:22-Two sacks of flour ground
sewed and ready for the market
9:25-Biscuits were taken from the
oven, buttered, and distributed among
the witnesses.

finished in 80 minutes from the stand

stuNBH tur11ye or pfNfs
Bulletin From Georgia tSate College
of Agriculture

The cutting of pine timber in the
summer months should be avoided as
far as practicable. Timber that is
cut in the summer is more liable to
blue" or become affected with a
furious growth which causes blush
streaks and spots in it. Lumber that
is so affected does not bring as high
prices as lumber without these
blemishes.
Summer cutting is also liable to
bring on attacks of bark beetles. Such
attacks do not always follow summer
cutting, but they very often do. A
common example of this is a tree
struck by lightning in the spring or
summer months Such a tree is
often seen in the fire woods sur
rounded by trees that have been kill
ed by bark beetles. The tops and
stumps in the case of cutting, and the
dying tree in the case of stroke Of
lightning, furnish a breeding place
for the beetles, and when they have
become sufficiently numerous, they
spread to surrounding trees and cause
their death.
Farmers should, therefore, do as
little cutting of pine trees as practi-
cable during the summer months If
it becomes necessary to cut poles,
fire wood, or other material during
the summer, the tops should be used
up as closely as possible, or, better
still, should be piled and burned; and
if trees are killed by lightning or
thrown by the wind, they should also
be cut up and removed as soon as
possible.
The years supply of poles, fire
wood, and other material, is best cut
in the fall or winter when the frosts
will check the spread of teh bark
beetles.

WOMEN FALL IN SNAKE DEN
Rescued From Caye-In After Five
Hours Fight With Reptiles.

Pittsburg, July 30-Three women
who went to pick berries on a farm
near Latrobe were rescued there
from by farm hands, after five hours
in an abandoned coal mine fighting
snakes. Two became hysterical when
rescued and are in serious condi-
ton.
The women are Mrs. Maggie Maley,
Mrs. Mary Sarafano and Mrs. Florence
Lacey of Loyal Hanna, near Latrobe.
They were picking berries on the roof
of an abandoned mine, which caved
in and they fell twenty-five feet into
pool of shallow water, thickly in
tested by snakes.
They fought the reptiles and
screamed for help. Fifteen snakes
were killed before their cries were
heard by John Stump and a party of
farmhands.
The continuous caving of the
ground prevented the rescurers from
reaching the edge of the pit, but they
threw in a line and drew the women
up with a team of horses.

CATTLE ARE DYING OF DISEASE
DIR. Bahnsen Sent By Com. Hudson to
Investigate.

A strange disease among the cattle
at Eldorado, near Triton, caused the
people of that place to send hurry
call to Hon. T. G. Hudson, commits
sioner of Agriculture, at Atlanta. The
agricultural department wired Dr.
P. F. Bahnsen, of Americas, who went
by next train to Eldorado. He ex-
amined COW that had just died, and
pronounced it poison by fungus. He
said that hot, steaming weather, fol-
lowing excessive rains, caused the
poison on grasses in similar manner
to smut which grows on corn during
rainy weather. When the COW eats
this growth it causes her to have
brain fever and mad itch within four
hours, and it is a rare occurrence for
one to live twenty-four hours. They
will stand and rub their heads on a
stump until the hair, hide, and finally
the flesh, is rubbed off

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
lntiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is infiamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever! nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness

ROHN LANDS A JOB WITH MACON
Dropped From Southern He Lands
With Sally

Dick Rohn, the erstwhile Atlanta
Southern League first baseman, who
played with the Albany bunch against
the Americas Champs here Monday
and Tuesday, is now a Sally Leag-
uer. Announcement was made last
night that he goes to Macon for the
rest of the season. The Central City
has been in sore need of first base
man for some time, and the addi-
ton of Rohn, who is a clever fielder,
will bolster up that club wonderful
1y. Mobile wanted Rohn, but she
was willing to give Atlanta hardly
more than song for him, and At
lanta would rather have the real cash
these days.
