For Visitors to Stare At.

"Mr. Tatum has done a great dea
for the church," said one of the trus
tees, "he has loaned the church con
siderable money, and seems to want
to call in the loan. 1t was an unex
pected move on his part, and he caught
the church short on cash. I do not
think there will be any fight. So far
as I can learn no lawyer will be EN-
ployed and we will let him take the
church. 1t will be a monument to his
business sagacity for visitors to stare
at when they stroll up Main street"

Tatum gave his version of the
matter. He referred to the minutes of
the building committee for details,
data and dates. From his viewpoint,
the suit is mere matter of business,
since he is tired of carrying the load. He
thinks that the finance committee and
trustees have laid down on him. and
have left him with the bag to hold"
Mr. Tatum went back to the original
purchase of the lot on Main street for
$4,000 in 1903 and traced up the
church building campaign step by
step. There was controversy then
over the parsonage site. He and foul
others had bought the parsonage and
offered it to the church at cost, plus
6 per cent interest. 1t was accepted
by the congregation signing a paper
to that effect.
Raised $4,000.
Then he referred to the enthusiastic
wave which struck the leading mem

free speech in our State and free
