creitable to a woman than to a man,
buthe is the ''doingest doer" South
of he Mason and Dixon line. He is
veri strong Methodist and has done
mud for Methodism with his means.
Ony recently he made donation of

of lie money that went to the build
ing of one of Atlanta's handsomest
chuthes. A few months since he set
his lead toward building what will be
knotn as the Wesleyan Hospital. He

was secured and Mr.. Gambler put up
S22sO0O. His cotton warehouse in
Alfalfa is about the biggest thing in
the bwn. 1t covers 40 acres and the
buildings, all of concrete, occupy
most of the space. Several of the
warehouses are used by the govern
meni for the storing. of supplies. 1t
will be remembered that it was Mr..
Gambler, who a few years ago when
coffin was very low. offered to loan
to the raisers $50. 100000 in order
that they might. hold their crops for
bett,r prices. Many took advantage
of tie offer and later sold their cot
ton 1or much better prices.
Camp Gordon is the name of the
cantonment some ten miles from the
heart of ATLANTA. 1t was named for
G len. John B. Gordon, the famous old
Confederate general, who has sever

are some 100000 Sammies at Camp

Atlanta had six or seven weeks
meeting conducted by Evangelis'
Billy Sunday during the latter par
of the year and the ex-ball player
stirred up the people there from cen
| ter to circumference. He preached IL
an enormous tabernacle built pur
posely for him, and which comfort
ably seated $4,000 or more people
The tabernacle cost $4,000 and the
lumber in it has been sold to North
ern party for $4,000 and will b'
shipped to Chicago. The other ex
penses were about $12,500 and $50,
900 was turned over to the evange
list, making $4,000 the meeting
cost. And now the question is-wai
the game worth the candle! Hun

speaks of making confessions, but
unfortunately many of those who

Still I am pretty well convinced thai
Atlanta has some mighty good look

compare with the Kentucky article

might have seen things differently
