Spiritual Adviser" In The
Tolls.

Atlanta, Ga, July, 27.-With the
presence in Atlanta Of N. F. McMil-
lin, an attorney from Kings Noun
tain, N. c. to prosecute for immor-
atty the Rev. B. L. Badgett, who
came here with pretty fifteen-year-
old Carrie Stockton, claiming to be
her "spitual adviser" the case has
begun to take on an aspect some
what similar to the recent See affair
in Chicago, in which the Apostle of
Absolute Life, as See styled himself,
was tried for running a love jungle"
instead of temple of light.
One of the similar features is
that the young girl, who is to be
sent back to her parents, refuses alb
to say anything that might
compromise the preacher, and de-
clares he was guilty Of no wrong
toward her.

Agitation Of Sunday Moving
Pictures At Grant Park.

Atlanta, Ca, July 27.-If open
air Sunday concerts in Grant park
with programs made up of selec'
tons from Grand opera, popular
waltzes, musical comedy and what
not, are perfectly proper, then why
would open air motion pictures, on
respectable subjects be equally pro-
per on Sunday in the same park?
That is the question the city
fathers are about to face, and to
many people it seems strange that
most of the ministers of the city,
while never Directing to the music,
do strenuously object to the pic
lures.
Some time ago the question OF
motion pictures in the park on Sun
day was agitated and then dropped
because of the sentiment against it.
1t is now being revived because of
the fact that the city has begun to
have motion pictures there free
Thursday nights. and many people
would like to have them on Sundays
too.

Judge Russell A Candidate
For GubernatOrial Chair.

Atlanta, July 27.-Reports of
Judge Richard B. Russell's guberna-
torial speech, opening his campaign
at Dublin, have been read with in
terest by local politicians, and is
regarded here by all factions as a
conservative, sensible document.
That judge Russell has refrained
from attacking anybody, and has
expressed the hope that the race be
run, no matter what candidates en-
ter, on an impersonal plane, free
from factional bitterness is taken as
an indication that the coming fight
may be milder and more seemly one
than some previous races have been.
The only new name mentioned here
in connection with the race is that
of j. r. Smith, Joe Browns form er
campaign manager.

City Court In Session

City Court is in session this week,
and making quite a lively record
Today Judge Lassiter of Vienna is
presiding for Judge Wall in the case
ofG S. Wilcox charged with assault
ing |. Gelders. The defense admits
the beating, but is defending the
case on the ground that it was well
deserved,
There is considerable petty
politics mixed up in the case, and
unless they have been extremely
fortunate in the selection of the jury
it is barely probable that the case
will be decided on its merits.

Another Political Scheme.

Atlanta, Ca, July 27,-What was
yesterday morning entitled The
Macedonian Cry" goes today by the
more melodramatic title of The
Missing Telegram, or the Wire that
Never Came
Yesterday morning Gov. Hoke
Smiths friends, and enemies thru
out Georgia were startled over their
coffee by a sensational newspaper
story that the house wool bill at
Washington stood a good chance of
passing after all, if Hoke Smith
would just leave the governors chair
and rush to the national capitol on
the noon train so as to get there IN
time to vote with the democrats
and save the country. People were
more surprised at that part of the
story which said the wool bill had a
chance of passing than they were at
the other part saying that democratic
senators had telegraphed Hoke
Smith to come at once"
But sober inquiries flashed to
Washington from Atlanta soon de-
veloped the fact that the house
wool bill had no chance in the world
to pass, and that the vote wouldn't
be nearly close enough for Smiths
vote to make any difference. So
much for that.
AS for the telegram to Governor
Smith, it remains more of a mystery.
1t simply has never come.

TO Demonstrate Benefits
OfLime On Soil and Crops

Tuscaloosa, Ala. July 26.-ln
order to give practical information
to farmers of the South as to the
benefits to be secured by the use OF
lime both for increasing yields and
for increasing yields and for improv-
ing the soil, the Southern Railway
and the Alabama Great Southern
Railroad, through their Cotton Gull
ture Department, are making ex-
periments along their lines in Ala
bama with corn, cotton, peanuts,
and other farm products. The lime
used analysed 70 cent and was Sc
cured from Marengo, Greene, and
Sumter counties where millions OF
tons lie along the Warrior and Tom
bigbee rivers. The lime was applied
in the spring and has resulted in
the promise of increased yields,
though it is too early to know what
the increase or the benefit to the
soil will be.
Lime has been used for improving
the soil for many centuries and
authorities agree that great part
of the land under cultivation IN the
Southeast is deficient in this respect,
resulting in an excess of acidity
when vegetable matter decays. The
use of lime preserves the vegetable
matter in the condition most suit
able for the support Of plant life. 1t
is not intended that lime should be
ued as substitute for manure or
commercial fertilizers but that by
it's use a much greater percentage
of the plant food in the manure or
fertilizer may be retained in the
soil.
n AS soon as possible the results OF
the experiments being made by the
Southern Railway and the Alabama
Great Southern will be given to the
farmers of the South.

Transportation Men and
Shippers May Differ.

Atlanta, July 27.-Leading local
transportation men are quoted as
saying that while there may be con-
siderable divergence of opinion be-
tween the railroads and the ship
pers on the question of the proposed
increase of rates recently forbidden
by the railroad commission, there is
a general sentiment that in at least
one respect the roads are underpaid,
and that is in the returns received
by them from the government for
the transportation of the mails.
Although the government sane
tons the present passenger rates,
says one we'll informed official, 1T
refuses to pay equal rates for equal
space which it uses in cars partly
devoted to passengers and partly to
mail. Indeed in such cases it pays
nothing for the space,it being only in
the case Of railway mail cars exclu
sively devoted to handling the mails
that such an allowance is made"
Figures show that space devoted
to the carrying Of mails constitute
eleven per cent of all passenger
trains, while the return from that
space which comes from the govern
ment fails by AZ per cent to be pro-
portionate to that earned by the
carrying of passengers.

BIaIOck Bill Tabled.

Atlanta, July 27.-The tabling of
the Blalock bill in the senate
means its certain defeat in this ses-

able permanent defeat, judging from
expressions heard at the capitol,
Senator Blalock only had it tabled
after the vote began and it apr ear
ed certain the bill was going to be
defeated. The bill provided that
all Confederate veterans should be
pensioned no matter how much
property they have

FREE TO SCHOOL CHILDREN.

All advertising is more or less costly
and the result not always as plain as
could be wished; but it is universally
agreed that business, to be success
full, must be made widely known, and
when an attractive advertisement is
backed up with reliable goods and first
class workmanship there is no ques-
ton as to the benefit of extensive ad-
vertising, irrespective of what it may
cost.
Among the most progressive business
firms in Algiers, the one that is per-

The department of agriculture has

the Washington Post. Swift in the

have been extremely neglectful Of our

1t is claimed, we can raise in one
part of the United States or another
all of the plants needful for an innum-
cradle variety of sweet odors. from
ylang-ylang to altar or roses. This
information doubtless is intended to
serve as timely spur to our indus
trial and commercial lethargy. And
yet the news fails to carry with 1T Say
great sense of shame. 1t is difficult
to assign the reason why the posi-
bilities thus pointed out produce little
or no enthusiasm, yet such is the
case. 1t must be because the making
of perfumes is not pre-eminently an
indication of national vigor or great
ness. Certain it is that their univer-
sal use by a people is not sign of
virility. Weak and effeminate nations
have been given proverbiaIly to the
use of unguents and ointments.

Wells THAT ARE IN FAVOR
Novelties Introduced During the Win
ter Have by No Means Lost
Their Attraction.

There are some novel wells that
have found favor in the realm Of fash
ion, which, though they have been
worn to some extent during the past
winter, are still holding their popu-
larity and will continue to do SO dur
ing the early summer months.
They are made of Shetland wool,
woven in wide-mesh patterns, and
they neither crush nor tear easily.
They are also shown in heavy silk
and silkaline and are said to be a
great protection, both to hat and the
complexion in inclement weather
They are particularly well liked for
automobile use and there is no end
to their durability. Black or white
are the most acceptable colors, al
though they can be had in variety OF
colors to match the hat and gown.
March and April winds cannot be
overlooked. They are disastrous to
ones appearance, if not properly
COPIED with, and, If one wishes to
reach ones destination in a proper
frame of mind as well as in a neat
condition as to hair and skin, one

A New silk.

Among the newest and elegant
silken fabrics which the season has
called into prominence is satin
feutre. a very lustrous weave, heavy
of weave, beautiful of finish, but soft
and graceful despite its heaviness.
It is quite wide, as are the finer
silks, and is to be had in plain colors
In the new and fashionable tones, as
well as striped effects-the ground
one shade and tiny hair line OF
contrasting color crossing it. The
stripes are single and not too far
apart to be unduly conspicuous.
For elegant afternoon or more sim
pie street dresses satin feutre is very
effective and viii make very striking
toilettes.
