INTEREST CENTERS IN ATTI-

ATLANTA Since the prohibit

campaign for governor much interest
canters around the probable attitude
of former Governor Jos. M. Brown,
IN whom indications now point as
The only other candidate likely to
enter the race in addition to those
now running-Judge Richard B.
Russell and Hon. J. Pope Brown.
Governor Brown himself has Civ
an no possible clue to his stand on
that question, and up to the present
time it is only possible to judge what
of what he may do by his record.
prior to his election as governor he
was generally understood to be a
conservative local optionist, though
in that campaign he made no state
menC concerning his attitude on the
prohibition question until the pro-
|6ibitionists themselves injected it.
At that time the prohibition law
had just been passed. Governor
Hoke Smith, although he signed the
prohibition bill, was also known to
favor local option. The injection of
the prohibition question into that
campaign resulted from the charge
made by Mr.. Smith and his friends
THAT Joseph NJ Brown was backed
by the liquor interests, and that if
elected he would not enforce or up
] hold the prohibition law.
Conservative Course Left.
When Mr.. Brown denied this
charge the anti-saloon league came
forward with a paper which both the
candidates, Brown and Smith, were
asked to sign. Both of them did sign
s paper to the effect that they would
veto any bill which proposed to make
&any change whatever in the existing
s prohibition law. That agreement,

during the term of office of the new
governor. During that time the leg
#islature did not attempt to make any
change in the law, and so the matter
passed.
It may be considered, therefore,
that in the present campaign there
is new deal before the people of
the state. Judge Russell has swiped

the local option platform, bag and
baggage, while Pope Brown has
walked off with the prohibition plat
form and is reckoning the anti-sa-
loon leaguers to his camp.
what is there left for the former
governor when he gets into the race?
IS a question now being asked. His
friends profess not to be worried on
this point. They say he can adopt
consistently a conservative course
that will appeal more strongly to the
majority of both classes than will
either extreme.
Prohibition Question Settled.
On that basis they point out that
he can accept the prohibition uues-
ton as settled, for with the law en-
acted and on the statute books they
see no reason why it should be made
an issue at least until the people
elect legislature which proposes a
repeal of the law and the substitution
OF another system of dealing with
1.-THE question.
While it is generally believed that
Ex-Governor Brown in making his
announcement, as it is now thought
he will do shortly before Governor
Smith leaves the executive office,
will adopt a policy in this respect
that will appeal to the conservative
element of the state, whether they
are inclined toward prohibition or
the other way, it is nevertheless
realized that the former governor
has a very delicate situation to deal
with, and it is going to take some
careful thought to do it properly
So far, however, no very great
amount of froth appears to have
stirred up over prohibition by the
two candidates in the field, nor do
many of the people seem to be wor-
Tying about it.
Law Enforced Where 1t Is Wanted.
OF course there are blind tigers
here and there, but there is evidence
everywhere that the law is pretty
well enforced where the people want
it that way, and where they don t
well, that is another matter.
The Hoke Smith following hasn't
yet found a satisfactory candidate,
and it doesn't seem that they are 60
ing to get one to suit. Some of them
have tried to push Paul Trammell of
Dalton. The Dalton mayor is a good
man, but lacking in political strength
and acquaintance, except in his own
immediate locality, and few coun-
ties cannot elect a governor.
Railroad Commissioner Murphy
Gambler, prominent gubernatorial
possibility at one time, does not now
appear inclined to get into the race.
Hooper Alexander couldn't possibly
muster popular following. Attor-
ney-General Tom Fielder could not
possibly count on another similar
accident to throw him into the gov
ernor's Office.
A Three-COrnered Race.
Hoke Smith was their climax, and
it's nard to drop down from climax
and still hold the popular enthusi-
aSm.
So altogether it looks as if the
race is going TO be between three
candidates, Pope Brown, Dick Rus

The church officers and the pastors do
not recognize that ru.al needs in re-

in education. In the city there is room
for many churches and many denomina-

case. One church is enough for any
country community. and Il is large

one. The curse of denominationalism

fight the devil gets his due, and too
often he has seized his opportunity TO
capture the whole community, bag and
baggage.
The cases where church differences
are carried TO extremes are fortunately
comparatively rare The worst part of
the division into denominations is
found usually In the division of church
support. A community that could sup
port one thriving church divides its en-
ergies among half a dozen The only
bass singer is Presbyterian perhaps.
and the soprano is a Methodist and the
rest of the choir are Baptists As a
result the singing in all the churches
is a minus quantity. or nearly so. The
only good Sunday school superintend-
ent belongs to one denomination and
all the good teachers belong to anoth-
er. AS result all the Sunday schools
lead a precarious existence.
One of the worst effects is seen in
the social life of the community. The
country church should be the center
of rural social life. Where several
weak churches have taken the place of
one strong church this is impossible
A free mingling of all the people in
the community on an equal basis is
interfered with
Another of the evils of denomina-
tionalism is the division Of financial
support. When the money that might
support one strong chuph is divided
among two or three the results are
disastrous. The first effect is seen
in the quality of the preachers. The
salaries which the divided churches
can afford to pay will attract only the
poorest class of preachers. Often two
or three towns are joined together and
one preacher provided for all. He
must spend a large share of his time
travelling. and his only influence in
the community is that which he ex-
erts from the pulpit on Sunday. If
instead of giving one preacher three

given the three in the same town, he
would have more time to give to his
people.
have the same belief. Rural people
want the plain. simple religion of
Jesus Christ They have no time to
split hairs over fancied differences Of
creed Few Of them know the creed
of the church 10 which they belong
or whether It has a creed or not. The
Bible is creed enough for them.
The increased financial support which
the consolidated church receives
means a better building. better lights.
more money for the Sunday school
and, above all. a better preacher.
This last Is the most difficult point.
Ideal preachers for rural churches are
difficult to secure. The theological
! schools do not recognize the country
church as having needs that differ
from those of the city church. The
pastor who is sent to the country
church is usually a city born and city
trained man with city ideals, He has
no understanding of rural life or rural
problems and too often he has no de-
sire to learn. He looks upon the coun-
try church as a stepping stone to
/ pulpit in the city.

with no sympathy with the problems

The VALUE OF TREE PLANTING


THAI is most sensible adnonition we
have read somewhere on timber culture
and preservation: IF in 70 years the
present supply of timber in this country
will be exhausted, at the present rate
of consumption, the admonition to plant
trees become eloquent with meaning.
There is great value in trees. The big
lumber fortunes have been made in the
main, not in buying and selling lumber,
n)r even in manufacturing lumber for
sale, but in buying vast tracts of tim
Der land ard holding them for the in
evitable advances in timber prices in
c;dent to the rapidly decreasing supply.
Now, it would not profit any man or
corporation to buy large areas of land
that could be profitably used for agri-
culture, fruit growing or grazing, and
set them in trees; but it would be pro-
fitable for all who own timber lands
that could not be proftably used for
other purposes to maintain them as per-
manent forests, using only the matured
trees and cutting them and clearing the
slash in such way as to give the best
possible protection to the immature
timber Also, it would be profitable
to every owner of land to plant trees
on any part of it that cannot be utilized
for other purposes. If this great ma
ton could inspire its landholders with
this one purpose for given time, to
the end that all land that should be
planted with trees would be so planted,
the problem of the future lumber sup
ply would be solved"
