has there been more political cor
ruption and moral rottenness among
the Goddess and open town crowd
than there now is in Atlanta, and one
serious cause for it is that the church
in Atlanta is not right with God. The
church as well as politics needs
cleaning up and when the church gets
cleaning up, and right with God,
there will be no trouble in cleaning
up the city"
Dr. Dunbar Ogden, in the course of
a sermon on the topic, Separated for
Service" at the Central Presbyterian
Church. prophesied that the present
day would go down in history as the
missionary century of all ages. The
problem Of the world, he said, is not
commercial nor political, but the
building of character.

audiences Sunday night were the Rev
Fred A. Line, who was installed as

The newspapers throughout the
State are commenting nowadays
rather caustlcalIy upon the wretched
and uninhabitable condition Of the
Governors Mansion in Atlanta
Not only is it generally agreed that
the rannshackle old barn is alto
gether out Of date. antlquated and
jnsanely situated for the purpose il
serves. but besides that ii actually is
falling down in spots,
Long ago the plastering overhead
in one Of the bedrooms fell down with
a dull and sickening thud, and a short
time before that Governor Brown,
only By nimbleness Of foot and quick
ness Of eye. succeeded in jumping
from under a similar precipitation Of
overhead ceiling in another room.
Just when the dining room may
take tumble to itself no prophet or

the hope is universal. Of course, that

cinatnR joke, at that,

likely would care to do so.
To be sure, its historic and hon
orable associations are pleasant and
inspiring things to think upon-if
only one could sit in the Mansion and
think upon them without being ST.
simultaneously in mortal terror that
something heavy, plastery and not at
all nice might fail upon him At any
moment and mangle him beyond rec
ignition,
The Executive Mansion would
make a first-rate fourth-rate board

It certainly isn't much Of a place
for Governor Of Georgia to reside,
Anent the Mansion. The Oglethorpe
Echo says:
A fortunate absence probably
kept Governor and Mrs. Slaton
from being injured by falling
plastering in the Governors Mar
sion few days since. It's a
shame that as great a State as
Georgia should not have a home
in which her chief Executive
could at least reside in safety.
And there are others that say the
same thing many Of them!
The death Of Representative Rod
denbery has brought forth numerous
tentative candidates for his place in
Congress.
Among them are H. NJ Mcintosh, of
Albany; Judge Frank Park, of Syl-

"The boys of today do not have op-

boys a generation ago-city life pre-

how to enjoy beautiful flower with
cut destroying the plant that bore it.
how to respect life in every way.
IF scout was fishing he would re-
turn TO the water uninjured a fish

This outdoor life helps the scouts
TO become independent, self-reliant and
resourceful.
