ny WINNIE FREEMAN

Atlanta, December S.-(Speclal. )-R. D. Burnett and F. E. Johnson are in At- lanta to talk to Billy Sunday about the campaign he expects to conduct in Bir- mingham in January, 1919. MT. Burnett and MT. Johnson were at the tabernacle Saturday night when MT. Sunday spoke to several thousand negroes. They say these isn't a chance for him to refuse to come now. They have heard him speak and they intend that everybody in Bir- mingham shall have a chance to hear him.
 The Birmingham men had a conference with MT. and Mrs. Sunday after the meeting. Charlie Outlaw, who was so n- fluential in getting the Sundays to come to Atlanta, and who has done much to make the campangn a success since they came, was included in the conference
 MT. Outlaw, although not a member of the Sunday party, is an enthusiastic Sunday booster. He is also a booster for the south, and he says he will be mighty glad to go to Birmingham when MT. Sunday goes and help to put the campaign on there with the same success it has met in Atlanta. He is warm

 MT. Burnett and MT. Johnson will re- main in Atlanta Sunday and they say they will attend each of the three ser vices Tn the afternoon they will hear Mir. Sunday deliver his famous sermon on "Booze, or Get on the Water Wagon" They had intended returning to Birming- ham Saturday night, but were so favor ably impressed with MT. Sunday that they decided to stay over.
 "Birminghams got to have him. said Mir. Burnett after the meeting Saturday night. He's wonder. I've seen about everything there is to see in evangelists, but I have never seen his equal. I be- lieve that Birmingham could fill a tau ernacle like this every night for seven weeks. and then they'd want more. had no idea that he was such a powerful speaker and I feel sure it will be one of the biggest things that ever hap pened to Birmingham when we get him over there"

RULERS WHO GAVE UP CROWN

1t was Diocletian who quit dominion
to raise cabbages at Salona, and who
refused to die lord of the world, re-
lates a historian. He was happier
farming, he told the ENJOYS of his
friends. Charles V, Roman emperor

his scepter and turned gardener be-
fore he died. Philip V of Spain alb
dicated in favor of his son, but re-
sumed the crown. Amurath, sultan
of the Ottoman Turks, was luczier. He
abdcated in favor of his son, but re-
sumed the throne in a moment of ma
tional peril. Then he. abdicated again.
A second time national crisis called
him from retirement but he had tasted
the pleasures of private life, and he
hastened to 6return to them. =
He was great king, the greatest
ruler of his generation, and the most
capable commander. His arms were
inyinclble on two continents, his terri
tories inviolnte. but he preferred the
quiet Of his palace of Adrianople the
conversation of poets and phlloso-
piers, and the theological arguments
of the wise men Of Islam to the coun-
sells of his statesmen. He died peace
fully in his bed, praislng the peace he
had come to know, and his son, the
second Mohammed of the Ottoman
line, won more lasting reputation by
the destruction Of the Byzantine EN-.

MOON INFLUENCE IS ABSURD
Phases Of the Great Night llluminator
Have Nothing to Do With Crops,
Say Scientists.

In the farmers almanacs you will
find tables Of dates proper for plant
ing crops, killing hogs and so on based
upon the phases of the moon. And
the Rural New Yorker is authority for
the statement that many farmers still
adhere faithfully to this ancient sys-
TEN. To show them how absurd this
is, 1t prints the following statement
by @. II. Marvin, chief Of the United
States weather bureau:
1T is the general belief of scientists
that the. moon has no appreciable In
fluence on temperature, rainfall, or
any other weather element, or on plant
growth.
"Plant growth depends upon temper
ature, light, humidity and plantfood
(both in the, soil and in the alr), and
its availability. Obviously the moon
neither mellows the ground nor fer
tilizes II, neither does 1t alter the COM
position of the atmosphere; hence 1t
affects neither the mechanical condl-
tlon Of the soil nor the kind or guam
tlty Of available plantfood.
IF the moon has any influence on
plant growth II would seem that 1t
must exert this influence through its
light Experiment, however, shows
that when plant is so shadowed that
II gets only one one-hundredth Of nor
nal daylight, It grows but little better
than 1t does in absolute darkness. Full
daylight is about 100000 times bright.
er than full moonlight; hence one one
hundredth Of daylight already too fee
BILE to stimulate appreclably plant ac'
tivity, is still 0,000 times brighter thar
full moonlight, The conclusion is that
even In respect to light stimulus, the
moons influence on plant growth Is
wholly negligible"

relenhons Many Years Aao.

There are not so many new things
under the sun as people suppose. The
telephone has the credit of being an
entire novelty, yet Robert Hooke two
hundred and odd years ago, wrote:

gated sound to very considerable dis
tunce In an instant, or with as SEEM
ingly quick motion as that Of light ;
and this not only In straight line,
or direct, but In one bended In many
angles"
Here was the invention of the-tele-
phone right In hand, so to speak, only
lIooke did not follow up the lead. So
the world had to wait two centuries for
the admirable instrument which saves
so much of humanltys time today.

II is believed to have been in the
ninth century b. @. that the Phoeni-
clans founded the colony of Carthage,
on the northern coast of Africa,
destined to become the most famous
Of all the numerous settlements made
by them. Legend, however, credits
Dido with being the foundress of
Carthage. She was the daughter of u
king of Tyre, whose successor was

ty of a felony there can be no
doubt. If he was legally mar
ried to the woman he had here
and who is the mother of his
children, he committed bigamy
when he married Miss Harvey at
Georgetown. If he was not mar
ried to her he is guilty of violat-
ing the Mann White Slave law in
bringing the woman here from
West Virginia. Since the last is

For the sake of the three little

modern Lothario has made. 1t
is somebody's duty to see that
this deserter of children and de-
spoiler of women is brought to
justice. When he sees that he is
found out in his crimes he will
flee to some spot beyord the jur-
isdiction of the United States, if
indeed he has not already done
so. If possible he ought to be
apprehended and held pending
the investigation.
