With a committee of ministers Sc
lected to arrange the details for Go
to-Church Day" preparations were
begun in earnest Saturday to make a
record for Atlanta in church attend
ance when the great outpouring takes
place December IA.
The committee is made up of the
Rev. H. NJ. DuBose, First Methodist
Church; the Rev. John e. White,
second Baptist Church: the Rev J.
Wade Conkling, Unitarian Church:
the Rev. W. w. Memminger All
Saints Episcopal Church; the Rev.
Richard Orme Finn, North Avenue
Presbyterian Church, and the Rev.
F. A. Line, Universalist Church.
A meeting of the committee mem
bers will be held early next week
when a chairman will be selected and
Il program outlined for the service
December IA, which may be follow
ed in the churches where it does
not conflict with the regular order or
service.
General Text Likely.
A general text from which all OF
the pastors may preach will be Sc
lected. 1t is regarded as likely that
the one suggested by Bishop c. X.
Nelson will receive the approval of
the committee members. This was
Pure religion and undefiled before
our God and Father is this-To visit
the fatherless and widows in their
affliction and keep himself unspotted
from the world."-James i:27.
Several of the ministers have sug-
gested that some prominent member
of each congregation be asked to
speak brief1y-possibly five minutes
at some point during the service on
the subject of church attendance. The
plan probably will receive the consid-
GRAFTON of the committee. Practical
" all of the churches will have spe-
Cial 9 zssiSess services in the morning
and evening.
"Go-to- Church Day will receive
notice in scores of pulpits throughout
the city Sunday. Some of the pas
tors will devote a few minutes to a
plea for a record attendance at the
services on December Ia and others
will give their whole sermon over to
a discussion of church attendance
as a general proposition.
The Rev. II. NJ. DuBose. pastor of
the First Methodist Church, and one
of the committee members, will
preach in the morning on"Go to
Church-Why?
In this sermon the whole question
of church going will be opened and
discussed from all angles. DR.. Du-
Bose is enthusiastic over the "Go-to-

congregation to make a record on the
day set His subject Sunday evening
will be The He'll of the Bible"
II am convinced that the movement
should provide a great stimulus to
church attendance in Atlanta" said

of Albany circuit, to Congress is re-
garded by many in his section as an
suspicious time for reopening the
discussion for q new Superior Court
circuit in South Georgia.
1t is stated that a bill will be in
troduced in the next session of the
Legislature asking for the creation
of a new circuit. composed of Worth
and Turner Counties of the Albany
circuit, and Tiff and Colduitt of the
Southern circuit.
Both the Albany and the Southern
circuit are already too large, and
though the people of the four counties
seemingly Wc--'7 regret to leave the
circuits they are now in, it is gen
orally conceded that a change Is most
desirable for business reasons.
The judges of the Southern and
ALBANY circuits as they are now con-
stituted have scarcely time for hold
ing the regular terms of court and
have no vacation periods, and, Of
course they are not able to devote
the time that should BE- given to the
affairs of each county. A circuit
composed of Tiff, Turner, Worth and
Colquitt would greatly relieve this
congestion OF court business.
The corridors of the State Capitol
are being cleared out for the coming
of the Boys Corn Clubs and the
Girls Canning, Picking and Pre-
serving Clubs next week.
Last years show was a great sue
cess. but this years will be far big
ger and better. The space occupied
in the Capitol heretofore will not be
nearly sufficient to accommodate this
years show, and it is apparent even
now that If next years show grows
in proportion over this years as tuis
years has grown over last, the en-
tire exhibit will have to go to the
auditorium Armory hereafter.

KID ELBERFELD Is
SOME LITTLE SCRIBE
Not Of c. Murphy Type at Letter Writ
ins-Busy Manager Does All Of
Player Correspondence.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. A.-Where Ii
Kid Elberfeld?
A query that has been often made on
account OF the infrequency with which
the manager of the Chattanooga ball club
leaves his lair on the Ridge and comes
to town can now be easily answered.
The Kid Is seated before a typewriter
in true newspaper style on Waiden's s
Ridge. With HIS limbs curled around
the machine, his hair all disheveled, and
fixed for luxurious enjoyment before the
fireplace OF his cozy homes living room,
the chieftain is writing, writing.
Fortunately for, the peace Of mind Of
Chattanooga fandom and the continued
calm and undisturbed equanimity OF the
Southern League, the manager is not
dashing out Charles webb Murphy press
agent spiels nor hurting temperance
pledges at the members OF the Chatta-
nooga club.
The manager of the club is practically
the president these winter days. Vie has
voluntarily taken unto himself the en-
tire correspondence of the club, and is
attending to all arguments with players
and other troubles necessitating the
bombarding of the malls.
In the very beginning of the contract
season the manager was given to under
stand that he was TT" A salary scheme
which would keep the club within the
5000 limit was figured out by the presi-
dent and manager, and then the mailing
Of the contracts and the accompanying
and necessary soft soaping' was placed
in the hands of the manager. Every let
ter TO the players and every contract was
sent out from the Woldens Ridge office"
When President Andrews gets a batch of
correspondence these days he no longer
digs into the missives with a weary
though self-resIgned air. He tosses the
whole works into convenient pigeon
hole, where they await the regular tri-
weekly visit OF the manager.
Elberfeld could have had the services
OF a stenographer for debating the let
tiers, but the manager opined that he'd
rather dope the letters out sentence by
sentence himself and talk to the players
as only one player can talk to another.
The Kid believes he'll get better results
in signing 'em UP in this manner than
by the brief, businesslike letters that
most clubs send out
Comiskey. the Old Roman of the White
Sox. is the best artist in the world when
it comes to this brand OF soft-soaping

about to be eclipsed. while at the same
time he convinces the player that the
Sox are giving him enough in allowing
him to have the chance. The Old Ro-
man writes all his letters in personal
vein, and the Kid is following the same
scheme.
So il happens that the Kid will be thor
oughly acquainted with every player on
the team when he reports, whether their
paths have chanced to cross in other

DEACON MCGUIRE TELLS
WHY PITCHERS FAIL TO HIT

Deacon Jim Mcclure, the old Highland
catcher. former manager OF the Red SOT
and the Maps. and now scout for the
Tigers. has solved the puzzle why pitch
ers cannot hit. The venerable deacon
says the reason why pitchers cannot hit
is not because they are pitchers. but be-
cause the men who do the big league
pitching are naturally poor batsmen.
The fellows who pitch in the big
league could not hit a bit better IL they
played right field or third base" Nc
Guire SAYS. When a kid begins to play
ball he likes to hit 1t out. but when he
grows older and finds he cannot hit he
devotes his time and energy to pitching
as he does not have TO hit 10 make a
pitcher. The same is true in all the
small minor leagues.
Good hitters do not stay pitchers
When a young fellow starts in a bush
league as a pitcher and they find out he
can hit. they quickly shift him to a job
where he can work regularly every day.
They make outfielders OF most Of them,
few turn infielders and some become
catchers. On the other hand, a young in
fielder or outfielder gets a job in the
bushes and finds out after a time he is
unable TO hit"
Almost all of these fellows have done
a little pitching. and they ask the man
dStT 10 give liltLl n II pOb.
Some to make good, and subsequently
graduate into the big leagues
Some of the best batters in the big
leagues started IN the game as pitchers.
Bresnahan. Seymour. and Wolter are
players who started in the big league as
pitchers. but their batting was so strong
they were shifted TO other positions.
Johnny King and Harry Hooper are
other players who started as pitchers,
but picked out regular Jobs after they
found they could sting the ball

HOW LONG, HOW LONG!
Protest Against UnwrnpPcd Bread
in Washington.

To the Editor: The writer. clerk in

some time what appears to be an utter
disregard for cleanliness. and feels i'm
PEELED to say a few words for the benefit
of his fellow-citizens.
Every day the delivery wagon of one
of our largest bakeries is driven up to
dairy lunch across the street from
where the writer works. The driver lays
aside the reins. jumps out, opens the
back of the wagon, and proceeds to
ill his basket. which he has deposited
on the pavement, with loaves OF bread.
These he carries into the lunch room.
The bread. OF course, has not the slight
est apology for a wrapper around it. He
then drives on to the next lunch room.
Perhaps, on the way, the harness breaks.
He gets out and fixes il and goes on.
He. of course, has had no chance to
wash his hands, and when he arrives
at the next stop he handles the unwrap-
ped bread. as before, with dirty hands.
II the day be stormy. as it was yester-
dav. the wet blanket used to protect the
driver is another hindrance TO clean de-
livery.
Permit me to be a little more specific.
Some months ago the writer watched a
driver for this same bakery fill UP his
basket with small biscuits. During the
operation, in which three biscuits were
picked up with each hand at a time, one
Of the biscuits bounded out OF the basket
onto the pavement. The driver non
chalantly. and rather sheepishly. as il
some one might be looking, threw the
offending piece of dough back into the
wagon. II it did not get into the con-
signment in question 1t certainly was in
cluded in some other order later on.
How long will such a state of affairs
be tolerated? How long, How long!
