HOLOUP ATLANTA COOKS
IS SUGGESTED BY POLICE
IN EFFORT TO BREAK Up THE
TOTING HABIT.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 28.-Mayor
Jim Woodward and members of the
city council are debating methods of
curbing the "toting" practice in At
lanta. Not pistol toting,' but some
thing more generally affecting public
welfare, the "t2ting" Of edibles from
the kitchens of employers.
The average Southerner with three
in the family feeds at least seven, if
he boasts a negro cook. For the motto
of the shiftless negro who has a
friend in the kitchen is summed up in
the poets immortal lines:
Il got gal, she's just the card;
"She lives down yander in de white
folks ward
"She totes me chicken and she totes
me lard,
AN she totes me biscuits FUN de
white folks yard"
A secret service department de-
signed especially to search servants
emerging from the employers prem
ises has been suggested.
The cook who ordinarily is slim
and slender often appears to weigh
two hundred pounds when she has
stowed away eleven biscuits, half a
ham, ten pounds of sugar and the
remnants of last nights roast inside
her shirt-waist and started home.
The local police court has provided
instances where a family of five ne
groes was subsisting in comfort on
viands "toted' from the kitchen of a
white family of four persons. And
yet we wonder at the high cost of liv-
ing.

PASTOR Is BEING SCORED
BY DEPOSED STEWARDS
LIVELY ROW IS KICKED UP IN
ATLANTA CHURCH.

NSPVNldl W overwhelmingly
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 28.-The storm
lest storm of recent years in Atlanta
church circles is now raging about
the First Methodist, while the pastor
who stirred it up is attending the
conference at Dawson. He is the Rev.
H. NJ. DuBose, who recently ousted
ten prominent stewards because they
belonged to locker clubs after he had
expressed the belief that they should
quit the clubs or the church.
Several of the stewards now state
that they urged the Methodist confer
ence at Marietta to give them another
pastor, but Bishop Denny, an olo
friend of DR.. DuBose's and his guest
in Atlanta, refused to make tie change
Alderman James R. Nutting, one of
the deposed stewards, came out fatty
and said DR.. DuBose was too fond of
the spotlight, and Judge H. E. W. Pal
mer, another of the ten, says the pas
tor is trying to drive his flock instead
of lead them. The church, the most
prominent organization in the city, is
facing split which may disrupt it for
many months.

clares that his family and associates
would rather lose all their millions
than that American workingmen
should be deprived of their right I'M
der the constitution to work for
whom they please" Mr. Rockefeller
may be thoroughly sincere about the
matter, but not recklessly sincere.
This sacrifcial scattering OF millions
will, Of course. be held in reserve as
a last resort, not hauled out ruthless
~ as a first resort. Before they bid
their millions a fond, final adieu.
there are many things to be tried
such as hiring gunner and detec-
tives to break up unions, such as
calling out the militia. such as Civ

LET'S ALL GO TO SEE FRANK

According to the following dis
patch from Washington, Frank Clark
can give anyone of his Florida
friends a good time for six bits:
Representative Frank Clark, of
Florida, undertakes to show that
'.the high cost Of living" is not as
serious menace as the cost Of high
living" and to illustrate his point
ne tells of little experience he had
the other evening.
A friend Of mine from Florida
called upon me recently said Mr..
Clark, land in the course of CONVEX
sation touched feelingly upon the
high cost of living. / ventured to
tell him that it was the cost of liv-
ing high that was bothering a lot of
people, and told him that right here
in supposedly expensive Washington
he and | could go out and spend a
pleasant evening, with dinner and
theater, on something less than a
dollar He scorned the statement,
but accepted my offer to prove that
it could be done.
We went to a certain popular
dining place, two car tickets costing
MS less than cents. There We had
each an excellent dinner of excep-
tionally good stew, costing 10 cents
each, with strawberry shortcake for
dessert, at ) cents each That total
ed 80 cents, and both of us enjoyed
the meal, amid pleasant surround
: mgs.
IN then suggested the theater. and
We went to good show, where good
seats were obtained at 10 cents each.
We enjoyed the performance of an
hour and half, used two more car
tickets to go home, and thus the en-
'sfre evenings refreshment and en-
ferIa1nment for the two cost me just
S. cents
(Which shows added Mr.. Clark.
THAT we can have a mighty good
time, with dinner and theater, in
washington for two at small expense
IL we want to, and don't believe
any one will say that I'm a piker
either"

= The bank failures in Chicago seem

The bank failures in Chicago seem
attributable to a panic that had very
little reason for starting. If people
could only realize it, the best thing
for every bank depositor to do when
he hears rumors of panic is to
leave his money in the bank. A bank
has to loan out money to make its
expenses; and of course If all the
depositors of a bank demand their
money at once, it will break. But If
they let it alone, it is very seldom
that any bank would fail. So when
1epositors start a run, one thing is
certain, and that is that lot Of them
will lose their money beside caus-
ing damage to business that the en-
tire community will suffer from.
