SIXTEEN YEAR OLD
SHINES WITH STICK

ATLANTA, Ca, Sep. z1.-Following
hard upon the heels of the Southern
Woman's Golf championship won by
sixteen-year-old Alexa Stirling, who
afterward went to the semi-fnals in
the national tournament, comes the
announcement that Little Bob" Jones,
a sixteen-year-old boy, has won the
club championship at East Lake, which
is about equivalent to the Atlanta
championship.
How this boy and girl have moved
down the veterans of the game, and
how Atlanta's only hope for the next
few years of winning any national
honors rests in them only, makes one
of the most interesting chapters in
Southern golf.
The most interesting thing to be
learned from their success by the av-
erage golfer is that in both cases their
splendid playing has been the result
of careful practice and attention to
form. Both have swing and follow
through that conforms to the scien-
tific rules of the game, and before that
scientific precision players physically
twice as strong but playing in more
uncertain form, went down one after
the other in defeat.

LARGE CHOIR LED
BY TILLMAN IS
Singing SWEE1Ll
MOORE DELIVERS TWO POWERFUL
SERMONS MONDAY - CHILDREN
AND YOUNG FOLKS SERVICES
WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY
(BY A SPECIAL WRITER

Evangelists Arthur J. Moore and
Charlie D. Tillman, now in great re
ligious revival at the First Methodist
church, give no uncertain sound as to
the place the church member is to
play in the revival Monday, the Sec
ond day of the meeting, was given
largely to a discussion of this fea-
ture.
Mr.. Moore preached Monday night
to a large congregation which practi-
cally filled the large auditorium, and
he plead with protested Christians to
express their religion in a practical
way. His theme was Applied Christ
.ianity."
Preaching from the text, Eye That
Should" he said among other things
that God expects you to be an ad-
vertisement for him, not a little line
in the want-ad column, but full
page "The problem OF the age is
not the non-church-goer, but the non
going church" Let's quit playing at
religion and get to work" Let's
leave the hospital and get a gun out
on the firing line and make it hot for
the enemy"
ALI the powers of the evangelists are
being given this first week to lead
the church into new field of activity.
Revivals, they say, do not come BY
chance, but are the results of well-or-
ganized activity.
The morning service was we'll at
tended. Mr.. Moore brought the first
Of a series of addresses to the church
on the work of the Holy Spirit.
The congregation last night was
surprised to find that during the day
a force of workmen had erected a
large platform to accommodate the
large chorus choir which Mr.. Tillmor.
will lead from day to day. Two pianos
have been arranged together, and
will be presided over by Mr. Tillman' IS
daughter and Mrs. Tom McLendon,
Of Americas.
Mr.. Tillman charmed the audience
last night by singing How Can l Look
on Calvary's Crosse"
Rev. ]. A. Thomas, the pastor OF
the church, announces that in addi-
ton to the regular services that OF
Wednesday and Friday afternoon, OF
this week, at 4 o'clock there will be

the mysterious disappearance of C. w
Martin, well known Atlanta business
man, who walked out of his office ir
response to a mysterious telephone
call, and has not been seen since.
Mr.. Martin was successful in bust.
ness and happy in his home life. He

But Husband, With Aid Of Cardui,

Draper, N. C.-Mrs. Helen Dalton, oil
this place, says: IL suffered for years,
with pains in my left side, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile
but then would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
try Cardui, the wcman's tonic, so he
bought me a bottle and began using it.
1t did me more good than all the medi-
cines had taken.
| have induced many of my friends to
try Cardui, and they all say they have
been benefited by its use. There never
has been, and never will be, a medicine
to compare with Cardui. | believe it is
4 good medicine for all womanly trou-
bleS."
For over so years, Cardui has been re-
deving woman's sufferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.
II you are woman, give it fair trial.
1t should surely help you, as it has
million others.

Just Change Of Counties.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 21.-S. B. Bur-
nett, who entered the Gambler and
Owens home last week and tried to
brighten the ladies into giving him
money, wasted some time yesterday af.
ternoon by raising the technical point
that as the alleged crime was commit
ted in DeKalb county that the Allan
ia recorder had no right to bind him
over.
While the point was being argued
the sheriff of DeKalb county was mott
fled what was going on, and by the
time the judge was ready to sustain
the prisoners plea, the DeKalb depu-
ty was on the scene, and no sooner
was Burnett freed from the Fulton
county jurisdiction than he felt the
heavy hand of the DeKalb officer on
his shoulder.
Outside the Burnett affair, the point
involved was of very general interest
as it involves the question of Atlanta s
police jurisdiction in Druid Hills
ta's corporate city limits, but which
is, nevertheless, partly in DeKalb
county.

The failure OF the administrat,Jn to
maintain American rights in dealing
with the people at war in Europe and
the complete collapse of American
diplomacy in Mexico indicate a de-
cidedly yellow spot at Washington.
SO far Secretary of State Bryan is
considered mainly responsible, but
unless there is a change for the bet
ter President Wilson can hardly es-
cape the failure to protect the stand
ins and dignity OF the United States.
There is no reason in the world why
commerce in food, clothing, dyestlifs
ana other non.contraband with Ger
many and Austria should not CON
tinue. Thousands of American work
ers are thrown out Of employment be
cause Of the weakened failure to in
sist on the American right to bring
coloring matter from Germany This
is a matter that has nothing to DO
with the war but is simply a lack OF
backbone at Washington. Great Brit-
ain will bluff as long as this country

minute longer. England must have

tinue the war. Let her so without
these supplies or stop meddlirg with
