Atlanta, August ministerial cir
cles are standing aghast today at a
/, statement attributed to Dr.. j. r. Hold
erby in his sermon at the Moore Pres
byterian church. The divine is report
ed to have said in substance that di,
vine laws of justice are often violated
by the state and that if Jesus Christ
came back to earth today he would
probably be crucifed on circumstantial
evidence
That such a statement should De
made is not so startling in itself as in
the light of the fact that when it was
made Jew was on trial for murder in
Atlanta and the state was asking for
his conviction on circumstantial evil
dence, and the jury had not returned
any verdict.

Mr.. Webster was very much i'm
pressed with the efficiency of the rail

he visited, particularly with that in
Wisconsin.
"The Wisconsin commission" said
Mr.. Webster, latter five years labo:
has accurately figured out the exact
cost of freight transportation for any
article of freight that may be ship
ped. Their investigations have been
closely followed by the interstate COM
merce commission, and the national
commission is following the policy
laid out by the Wisconsin commission
in many particulars.

road commission does much of the
work which is done in Georgia /"
the department of agriculture. They
inspect grain, having 800 inspectors for
that purpose, and also look after ali
VI Fights and measures. They have q
room, popularity called chamber c.
horrors" in which are kept for public
inspection the false weights and meas
ures confiscated by the commission.
The exhibition of these false weights
and measures at the state fair eacn
year is said to have very wholesome
effect on the merchants who are in
clined to be dishonest"
