the Atlanta theater Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock, canvass the result of
the recent presidential preferential

Each of the three managers has
called caucus for tonight. The Wat
son and Palmer delegates will get to-
gether at the Kimball House and the
Smith delegates will meet in the con-
vention hall of the Piedmont hotel.
At these caucusses it is likely that
steering committees will be named
and floor leaders selected to handle
the interests Of the candidates behind
whom they are aligned.
Public interest in the assembly is
whetted to a keen edge, and the poll
ticians of the state, also, are on edge.
The public is as much or more inter-
ested in the convention as political
spectacle as the politicians are con-
cerned over the outcome uf the tri-
angular fight, involving the local for
tunes of both men and measures.

avoid number of pitfalls if they
go to different educational institu-
tions.
''It is safe assertion" he said
that many young men and women
would be better off in colleges of
some other variety. Experience GER
tainly suggests that a co-educational
university is a dangerous place to
send young women brought up in
schools for boys and girls severally.
"The sending of certain girls to
such educational institutions with
out providing for guardianship of
any kind is often in the highest de-
gree reprehensible."

ed from 25,117 churches with a
combined membership of 2,296,091.
The value of the local church prop
erty of these congregations is in ex-
cess of SIS, 100000 while the value
of school property owned by South
ern Baptists is $25,000,000.
After several years of prepara-
ton, everything is in readiness for
early construction at Nashville,
Tenn, of the first independent theo-
logical seminary for negroes in the
world, according to report submit
ted to the convention by DR.. 0. l..
Haley, secretary of the commission
to establish the institution.
Nashville has provided a place for
the seminary adjoining the site of
Roger Williams University and the
white Baptists of the South will make
an initial investment of 100000 in
the seminary from the proceeds of
the IS Million Campaign. The Ma
tional Baptist Convention. composed
of representatives of Negro Baptist
churches from all sections of the
country, will likewise contribute to
the support of the seminary.
Arrangements have been made
whereby other Christian workers
among the negroes, such as mission
aries, Sunday school teachers, and
the like, will also be given training
at the seminary while persons desir-
ing further collegiate work can re-
ceive such instruction in Nashville at
the same time they are pursuing theo-
logical or other special religious
courses.

Standard goods bearing a registered
trademark sell for the same price the
world over and the manufacturer
guarantee stands back of them when
they are sold in the smallest village
in the country just the same as when
they are sold in the stores of the larg-
est cities.
This is what the national advertising
of the manufacturers has done for the
cosumers of the country. 1t has en-
abled them to go into their home
stores and buy merchandise which
they know from past experience or
from the reputation and guarantee of
the manufacturer will give them salts
faction. They are not buying blindly
and hopefully when they buy from the
merchants in their home towns. They
are buying with the knowledge that
they are getting their moneys worth.
When they buy advertised brands they
are getting double protection, that
which is afforded by the responsibility
of the retail merchant and that which
is given by the reputation and guar
antee of the manufacturer. When they
buy the unknown brands of goods
that are offered by the mail order
houses they are getting neither kind
of protection.
