Oil and Gas News

The Taylor Day we'll at Camel
City was drilled into the Clinton
sand last week and a small flow
of oil was struck but not enough
to justify pumping, so the pro-
moters are driving the hole on
to the Coney sand 125 feet furth-
Ell down. The well also showed
some gas and if neither Gil nor
gas is found in paying quantities
in the lower sand the we'll will in
all probability be filled in back to
the Clinton sand and shot.
The well in the railroad "Y"
on Prater Fork will be down to
Clinton sand in about ten days.
This well is located about 900
feet south of Gray Eagle" we'll
No. l, and oil men are looking
forward anxiously to its compile
tion strong in their belief that it
will be a producer. Gray Eagle
No. l continues to pump steadily
better than 60 barrels per day.
Another string of tools, belong
ing to what is known as the
Home Company, begins work to-
day in front of the post office
building and we are informed
that the Camel City Company is
putting timber on the Joe Ter
lrill farm and will begin drilling
a well there as soon as a derrick
can be built.
The attention of northern and
eastern capitalists is being at
tracted toward Morgan county.

informed that all those gentle
men, with the possible exception
of Mr.. Cooper, were favorably
impressed with the outlook that
they have purchased interests in
the oil holdings here, and will
assist in the development of the

Cardinal, 81 have no need. My faith
in the hereafter, in the immortality
of the soul, rests not on conjecture,
but on a more solid foundation. 1t
rests upon the infallible revelation of
the Son of God, who said. L am the
Resurrection and the Life etc"
And the women" the Cardinal was
asked.
"Why do you ask that" was his
query. THE more | see of the world,
the more ! am convinced that wom-
an brought up in the Catholic reli-
gion should make the best wife and
mother. She receives the right IN
struction and is warned to keep away
from temptation-tO shun the things
the modern woman is prone to turn
to-"
The Cardinal spoke at some length
of the duties of woman to society and
vice versa, but returned to the union
of the Christian churches.
"The union of the churches would
bring about an era of civilization UNI
known in history. You and | may not
live to see it, but ii will come, hope,
and then the one undivided church
will flourish and triumph"
His Wonderful Mentality.
For more than an hour this Won
derful man-James Cardinal Gibbons
this complete refutation of the Os-
lerian theory, gave free vent to his
thoughts. He gave a remarkable dis
play of his wonderful mentality.
Known as the ascetic among Amer
lean prelates, Cardinal Gibbons is yet
so intensely human, so lovable-so in
touch with everything that makes life
worth living-that the hour spent in
the graystone palace" on North
Charles street was a memorable one.
The statement had been made that
the Cardinal, who is in his eightieth
year, was beginning to feel the weight
of his age, and that an interview was
out of the question. Yet, when the
time for the interview arrived the
Cardinal walked down a flight Of
stairs to the reception room with the
springy step of healthy man of SO
years. His handshake was not the
| tremulous grasp of man of SGT
was the strong grip Of a man still
very much in the fight.

Cardinal Predicts a Wonderful
Advance of Civilization Under
Such a Movement, With the
Pope Playing the Leading Part.
a Would Gladly Sacrifice the Re-
naming Years of My Life in
Lending a Helping Hand Toward
This Blessed Result" He Says.

BALTIMORE, Oct. cardinal
Gibbons, in an interview to repre-
sentative of the Hearst newspapers,
EXPRESSED the fervent hope that a
union of all Christian churches under
one head might ultimately be brought
about. He predicted that such a
union would result in wonderful adj
vances of civilization.
OF the efforts of Sir Oliver Lodge
n produce scientific proof of the eX
fstence Of life beyond the grave, the
Cardinal said those who believe in
the teachings of Christ had no need
of such proof
You want to know about the
union of all Christian churches?" re-
heated the Cardinal when he was ap-
uroached on a subject so delicate that
the majority of Roman Catholic dig
nttaries have refused to discuss it for
publication. He answered:
The reunion of the scattered
branches of Christendom is a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished and l
would gladly sacrifice the remaining
wears of my life in lending a helping
hand toward this blessed result.
Must Recognize Pope.
The first essential requirement"
he continued. lis the recognition of
the Sovereign Pontiff, who, as the sue
cessor Of st. Peter, is the divinely
appointed head of Christendom.
Every organization, whether religious,
civil or political. needs a head for its
peace and security as we'll as for its
very existence.
"Once the proper position of the
Pope is recognized, | do not believe
that the other Controverted doctrines
are as formidable as is commonly
imagined When a proper eXplana-
ton is given of the various dogmas
upon which Christianity is founded,
] am persuaded that the logical sense
Of 'he people would prompt them to
accept.
And if the various Christian de-
nominations of the United States
were once united, working with one
heart and one spirit, what a wonder
ful influence our Christian forces
would exert in the civilization and the
Outstanding of mankind! What
amazing things would then be done
for society and humanity!
But, devoutedly as we wish for
such union" continued the Cardinal,
we must wait for the conscience Of
the Individual to bring about a state
when union becomes possible. There
are three courts--the civil tribunal,
the criminal tribunal and the court
of conscience. And until the last Of
these acts, until the 5cUi demands,
until in a word, such a moment ar
rives, the time is not ripe"
Life Exists After Death"
When asked his views in regard to
the attempts of Sir oliver Lodge to
prove scientifically that there is life
after death, the Cardinal remarked
he was not prepared to say whether,
or how far. the continuity of life
after death could be proved by scien-
ti1c investigation"
of such a vague proof" said the

Dressing as a fine art finds an eX-
ponent in Mrs. Harry l.. Stearns, of
No. 745 Peachtree street. Also the new
styles of women's dress find cham
pion.
1T takes as much art for the mod
ern woman to dress becomingly as 1t
does for a singer, an artist, a writer
to succeed" said Mrs. Stearns yester-
day. And not only art, but brains.
Many women succeed in dressing
well; that is, beoomingly, because the
art seems innate with the sex. Some
do not succeed, and will never be
able to dress ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by
chance-because they have not that
note of artistic perception in their
makeup.
Somehow, that artistic sense
seems highly developed among Amer
lean women. as a general rule, and
among Atlanta women particularly. y
Nowadays, Mrs. Stearns thinks, the
demand for a talent in the matter OF
dressing is greater than ever oe-
cause of the styles.
I'm the old days of crinolines, and
of simple patterns, nearly all women
dressed we'll" she said. But now
that the styles are more complex, it
requires more cleverness to dress
well. The demand on that artistic
sense is greater. There is a certain
intangible, indescribable note of art
that must be attained, and which is
difficult.
And being difficult, it requires
brains as well as art"
However, Mrs. Stearns has no word
of criticism for the new styles.
"They are inclined to lead to exag-
geration," she explained, but as they

the clinging effects of to-day the most
wonderful of all patterns, and the
charmeuse gowns that the style de-
mands are exquisite.
These new gowns can think of
no other word to fit them and their
general effect. Yes, there is a word
that it seems to me, applies. They are
'slinky,' If that means anything to you.
1t does to me, meaning soft, and
graceful and pretty, and all that is to
be desired in femininity. That pic
ture of Maria Louisa descending the
stairs-do you recall it? Her gown
is expressive of the beauty in the
new style. And, by the way, our
great grandmothers, or our great
reat-grandmothers wore gowns like
that.
And the slit? Why that is a SEN
sible evolution of the narrow, cling
ing skirts, furnishing a means of
freedom in movement"
ne dDlllly 10 uIeSS wei is neCeS-
sary for a woman's greatest develop

psychological factor. giving her con-
fidence in herself and a readiness to
meet all circumstances.

Dressed artistically. dressed inteIli-
gently-yes, it is a matter of intelli-
gence, of intellect, even-a woman

Mrs. Stearns herself is known as
one Of the best dressed women in At
lanta society, and her reputation for
taste in things sartorial is almost pro-
verbal.
