TolIeston Vote Was Tied.

The annexation of Tolleston would
increase the population of the city by
over two thousand. and give Gary much
valuable territory. The interests OF
the two cities are so closely identified
that they are practically the same city
now. except that they are under separ-
ate governments.
The tie vote in the recent town cleo
tion has left that city in a quandary
concerning the situation. The vote be-
tween Gallagher and Brown was tie
and Gallagher has maintained that be-
cause he was not defeated he still re-
tains the Office. No one seems to be
doing anything a. present to settle the
controversy.
Since Gary has been made city the
matter of annexation OF town ike
Tolleston has greatly simplif1ed the
matter. ana should the resolution he
passed it is believed the measure would
be endorsed by the people.

Proceeding Is Said to Come
Up at the Next Regular
Council Meeting in Gary;
Plenty of Favorable Senti-
ment on Both Sides.

1t is reported on the best of authority
that steps are to be taken Monday
night at the Gary council meeting, with
view to annex Tolleston to Gary. The
councilmen themselves have said moth
ing in regard to the matter and seem
to have nothing to say, but the report
has gained such wide currency that it
is now beginning to be given some
credence.
1t is well-known fact that many in
Tolleston want to become a part of
Gary, and 1t is believed that Gary citi-
zens will be glad to annex Tolleston.
In case the measure does pass the coun-
ell Monday night. or in the near future,
it will require forty days before the
election can be held in both cities. and
If favorable the communities become
united as soon as the vote is placed on
file

DEDrCATEs NEW CHURCH.
Sunday Was Notable Day For Baptist
 AH

Athens, March 22-(Special)-Sund was a great day for the Baptist con- gregation in this place. for 1t wit messed the dedication of their hand some house of worship. which has cost the members many privations and heroic sacrifices.
 Several years ago, the membership of the Missionary Baptist Church in this place. numbering less than fifty, called a pastor and had no house of worship. An effort was made and a building was commenced which was rapidly brought to completion. but the debt was heavy and for some years 1t secured a question whether or not they would be able to lift the mortgage, but with continued efforts the debt was lessened until it was all paid. and under the pastorate of their present efficient pastor. Rev. A. A Hutto. the debt was entirely wiped out and the membership increased to nearly a hun dred.
 And today pr. J. M. Frost of Mast vile, preached the dedicatory sermon to large and appreciative congrega- tion. The musical program was splen- did and the sermon was equal to the occasion.
 The entire town rejoices with the good people who have by their devo- tion and earnestness buflt for them selves handsome house of worship. one of the handsomest in town and one of the best in the northern part of the state costing several thousand dol lars At night MT R. E. Pettus of Huntsville. Ala, will preach.

SPIRIT OF SERVICE
REV. c. P. wILMER ADDRESSES LARGE AUDIENCE.
"No Activity is of value Unless 1t ia yseful,1 Declared the Preacher -Wnl Preoch A9Ain at
 Mulestfe Today.

Rev. c. P. wilmer of St. Luke's Church. Atlanta, gave an illustrative address on the Kingdom of God. yes- terday at the monday service in the Majestic Theatre. He said in part:
 "A certain literary editor once pub lished in the opinion that in all re- ligions we have never been promised Heaven as q reward of earthly con- duct and activity. He also went on to declare that even Jesus only promised rest.
 Rest to Jesus mind is only spiritual activity.
 NO activity is of value unless 1t Is useful. I recall human interest story which was printed in one of the pa pers. A tramp was given work by . man that he might earn enough to get food. He had the tramp carry a pile of bricks from one side of the walk to the other and then back. When that had been done and time still re- mained before the tramp would finish the quota of labor agreed upon. he asked him to begin all over again. The tramp refused. He was willing to do something useful. but he refused to throw his energy away. It illustrates that man can not find any pleasure doing what is not useful in some way.
 Put the spirit of service into your life. You do not have to wait until you die before reaching the Kingdom of God .''
 Rev. Wilmer will deliver another ad. dress this noon at the Majestic Thea tre. Tonight at o'clock he will preach at St. Johns Church.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.
Sentiment Develops To Revive Oit
 Method or Discfpline.


 Method or Discipline. Chicago. March 22.-The efficacy of corporal punishment in the public schools has again been brought to the front as a topic of discussion by the Rev. M. P. Boynton, a Baptist min fster, who though declining to express his own views on the subject. declares that he has written to a number of teachers and has found only one that believes that the abolishment of such punishment has aided discipline.
 One letter made public says:
 There Is a spirit of lawlessness and disrespect in the sch ools, a spirit of I'll do what I please and a disre- gard for the rights of others that is appalling. When other meth ods of dis cfpline have been used and found want ing, I believe that the refractory pupils should be given sound trouncing by the principal"
 Another says:
 "It would help matters if the stern- CT methods of discipline were revived. I do believe that they could be dis pensed with in most cases, but there are some children that simply must fear corporal punishment in order to behave"
 Still another teacher asserts that a large percentage of refractory pupils would be under control if they mere ly knew that the teacher or principal had power to punish them.''-
