MORMON MISSIONARIES
INVADE EMPIRE STATE

Atlanta, Feb. 23.-It became known
today that four active missionaries.
working six days week and carrying
with them tracts and pamphlets, are
buisly engaged in an effort to convert
Atlantians to the Mormon faith.
They have already converted about
sixty, most of whom were processing
Christians before they turned Nor
mons, and they declare that the num-
Der is increasing almost every week.
On the theory that this is land of
religious liberty and that all beliefs
should be respected, the city authorit-
les are permitting the missionaries to
do their work unmolested, and the
Mormon. church is founded already in
this city on a pretty substantial basis.
They nave a regular house of worship
at the corner of Woodward Avenue and
Connally street II. Lester Bair, of
Richmond, Utah, is the presiding elder
who has direct charge of the church's
affairs. After the Mormon custom it
has no preacher, but the sermon is
delivered by different members of the
church whom the elder designat5s
from week to week. Once a month on
fast Sundays, the women are allowed
to speak. At stated intervals they hold
a communion service, but after the
Mormon rites, using water instead Cf
wine.
Mr.. Bair says that while the actual
practice of polygamy is not now coun-
tenanced by the Mormons, the church
still adheres to the principal Of plural
marriages in theory.

and overcoat and walked down to the
station. went to meet my friend
Kirk. At the station l failed to find
Kirk. 1 went inside the station, but
he was not there. 7 had been busy at

felt that if Kinks time was of no
more value than mine he would come
to the Office.
From the depot walked north
on Monroe street, on the east side.
When north of the station some dis
lance l remember some man struck
me down to the pavement.
81 was dizzy and saw stars after
the big british fist of the large man
struck my head. I became nervous
and weak. One of his hands vas
upon my throat and with the other
he was pounding my head. Iremem-
Der men ran to rescue me and pulled
him of.

by the grasp on my throat. My head
was dizzy and l was very weak. /
did not offer to strike the man who
had beaten me. was not expecting
his first blow.
After l was on my feet I tried to
reel away from the man who had
abused me. l had no objective in
mind.
81 tried to get to the interurban
station. My eyes were filed with
blood, binding me at times. As
reeled backward, am in no position
to state the distance, my thought
was only to get to safety. Through
the blood streaming from my head
l saw nv assailant struggling to get
