RACE IN SENATE
FOR PRESIDENCY
PRICE:
MA YORALTY HANDICAP HAS MANY ENTRIES;
STARTERS GROOMING FOR COUNCIL STAKES
Akin of Bartow and Felder
of Bibb Named as
Leaders.
Who will be president of the senate of
1907-'0S?
With the opening of the general as
sembly only throe days away, there Is
a growing belief among political ob
servers that the race lies between Hon.
John W, Akin, of the Forty-second, and
Hon. T. S. Felder, of the Twenty-
second.
But this does not reckon with Hon.
J. D. Howard, of the Twentieth: Hon.
J. J. Flynt, of the Twenty-sixth; Dr.
L. O. Hardman, of the Thirty-third,
and Hon. W- C. Martin, of the Forty-
third. It Is rumored that Senator Mar-
tin will throw his strength to Senator
Akin, though the rumor Is not au
thenticated.
Senator Felder and Senator Akin
have both booh In Atlanta during the
past week. Both express confidence of
success but decline to discuss the race.
It Is believed that the issue will be de
termined without the long fight that
was necessary, to settle the senate pres
idency In the last general assembly.
It Is believed that both branches will
organise quickly, and get down to hard
work with a minimum of delay. This
legislature has gome big things cut out
for It already, and It Is going to be
work from the Jhmp under high pres
sure. V

comes responsible to the people.

Presence among them Is unnecessary.
PEOPLE EAT MORE;
FARMERS RAISE LESS
Washington, June 22.—In the opin
ion of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
■he recent Increase In the price of
meats Is entirely natural, and even a
further advance In prices may be ax-
fected. That the cost of meats Is
greater today than ever before Is oon
ceded by Secretary Wilson, who be-
ilevee that American prosperity Is at
the bottom of the situation. The peo-
i!e are eating more meat and the
farmers are not raising aa many cat

Tho committee meeting Friday,
which set the date for the next pri
mary for August 7, means that candi
dates for city offices must get In train
ing. That the race will be a hard one,
there Is little doubt.
That majority plan will not affect
the coming primary election, and the
race will be won by the candidate re
ceiving the largeat number of votes.
But a "run-off” will be held next time,
It the people so vote at the August
primer^
Up to date, Just about forty candidates
have been mentioned for tho big city hall
futurity to be tub In the fall. Forty—count
’em—forty! Great, live, sizzling, steaming,
genulno Georgia candidates!
Some Scratches Expected.
These ore Just those who have been men
tioned so far. Some probably will not go
any further than tho "mentioned” stage,
and others will wish they hadn’t. Some
will retire In "the interests of peace and
harmony,” while others will, “after ma
ture deliberation,” decide that “the pres
sure of business duties will not permit"
them to attend to the duties of the office.
On the other hand, there Is every like

WHERE THE HOPELESS FIND NEW HOPE;
LITTLE MISSION MAKES MEN BRACE UP
AND TAKE NEW GRIP ON THEIR LIVES
Bums Out of Prison
Reclaimed by Re
ligion.
By PAUL E. WILKE8.
A bum staggersd off Decatur street a
few weeks ago into Central avenue and
■topped • and stood unsteadily In front
of No. 11. He was as broke as when be
left prison, and he was wondering who'
he could panhandle for a drink.
He didn't know why he stopped In
front of No. 11. Maybe he thought It
was a barroom. He gazed with blood
shot eyes through the door Into the lit
tle room where there was a small
crowd. Then he staggered In and fell
heavily Into a seat
Nobody threw him out and this sur
prised him. He had been thrown out of
several dives on Decatur street and he
somehow or other knew then that this
was not a saloon. Gradually his dead
ened brain took In the situation and he
learned from the writings on the wall
that he was In a Gospel mission.
A plainly dressed man whose clothes,
although worn, were neatly arranged,
was talking. He had gray hair and a
white mustache and something he sold
made the bum listen. This gray-hatred
man was telling how he hlmeelf hod
staggered Into a mission four years
ago, after having been a bum and a
drunkard.
Fats's Loaded Dice.
The bum with the ragged clothes be
gan to listen. He looked around and he
eaw other people who looked os If Fate
had loaded the dice In throwing with
them. Then he looked at hie own
clothes and thought of his appearance.
His shoes were worn so that his bare
feet were on the ground. He hod on &
pair of dirty ovaralla for trouaera,
ragged and dirty ehlrt and no coat.
While the elderly man was talking a
younger man In plain, worn clothes
walked up to the ragged bum and shook
hla hand.
"Glad to eea you, old pal. Keap your
seat and feel at horns.”
There wasn’t any pollah to the talk
and thera wasn't any patronising air.
It was Just a hearty welcome—a wel
come Just like one dtlxen of the under
world would give to another.
In Medley of Street Sound,.
When the elderly man finished talk
ing. a blind young man began playing
a hymn on a piano and the little crowd
began singing. Across the street a
noisy phonograph was grinding out the
EVERYBODY IS WELCOME;
NO f RILLS, NO COLLECI ION
The Central Gospel Mission la located at 11 Central avenue, Just off of
Decatur street In the heart of Atlanta's Bowery section.
Everybody la welcome, and bume, drunkards and crooks are made to
feel at home and as If they are among friends.
No collections are token up. Nobody Is paid to run the mission,
few men Interested chip In out of their own pockets and pay the rent of
140 a month.
The meotlngs are conducted by first one and then another of those
Interested. Former "hoboes” take a prominent part In these meetings.
Everything Is Informal and anybody present may make talks.
W. W. Thurman, a blind young man who eahee chairs for a living at
308 Grand opera house building, attende every night and plays the piano.
All the work Is done and the expense borne for the love of It. No
body has a paid Job, nor Is looking for one.
that thronged the streets Into a cheap
moving picture show. A few doors
farther down the street a brats band was
discordantly sounding forth rag-time
and a bally-ho barker was trying to
steer the mob Into a Joint that had
glaring electric signs.
Crowds of toughs and a sprinkling of
crooks passed and repassed the little
mission. Many of them were negroes,
and some of these would go up the al
ley that runs alongside the mission and
take drinks from a bottle that one of
the gong would produce from a hip
pocket.
By this time tbe ragged hobo had
forgotten about a drink and was get
ting sober. Ha waa getting Interested,
too. He wanted to hear some more of
that little crowd say things. He want
ed to know this great Being they talked
about, and whether or not He would
have any use for a crook and a, bum.
Young Man's 8tory.
Others did talk. He heard young
men like himself—he was only about
18 or 28 years old, though the years In
the pen and the years of dissipation
hod made him look older-^tell about
doing things he hod done.
The meeting finally drew toward a
close and he asked a fellow next to him
If there waa any show for a bum like
himself. The fellow reckoned there
was, and suggested that the old man be
asked.
It waa late that night when the meet
ing ended. Aa a rule they do not laet
long—they are not tiresome—but the
bum hlmeelf mode It lost longer that
night. He talked with other fellows In
the place, men who had been as bad off
aa he was, and when the meeting Anal
ly did break up there waa a change In
him.
The Bum’e Own Talk.
The same bum attended a meeting
In the same little old mission last
Wednesday night, but he was a dif
ferent looking bum. He had on shoes,
a suit of clothes and a collar. He had
white mustache did some talking. The
bums called him Brother John Daniel.
He talked oa before, In his plain, home
ly way, and he. didn’t mind teljlng how
booze had almozt won out In hie light
with It. Didn't get excited and shout,
either. Ho Juzt talked quietly to the
little crowd. '
After a while the young man who
staggered Into the mlsxlon looking for
a drink a few weeka before got up to
do zome talking. He didn’t have any
eloquence. He talked aa If he might
be telling his pals a story. H~ didn't
try to use a different brand of E-gllth
from that he had used In the undor-
world. except that he didn't use blas
phemous words for emphasis.
"It ain't no usa,” he began, “to tell
u folks what happened to me. You
ow's well as I do. T'ree weeka ago
I come Into dls place a bum and a
crook. Now It's a job fer mine and
living on the level. I wish I could tell
youse fellers what the good Lord done
fer me. But I ain't got Into the habit
o' gettln’ eloquent. All I can do la to
ehow you meself now and let youae see
how I cut out tha past.
Up From tha Dsptha.
"An' I didn't need no Keely cure,
neither. Ever since I was fourteen I
been a crook. I been a sneak t’lef, bur
glar, dip, drunkard, bum and cocaine
doper. I served sixty days In the Es
sex county Jail at'Newarkf N. J., and
within alx hours after I got out I waa
paralyzed. I turned a trick which sent
me up the river for eighteen months. I
been worse than moat of youse fellers,
but I wasn't too bad fer the good Lord
to take hold of and pull outer the gut
ter.
"I waa quite a time gettln' wise to
t'tnga I didn't know much about be
fore. But I did and I kept the meetln’
late. What does I do? The first t’lng
I does I goes out around the Joints and
I gets me pal and I brings him In here.
He was as bad as me. He got wise, too,
and dere's as big a change In him.
Dere's plenty o’chances fer youse fel
latest tones to draw the motley crowd a Job, too. - Tha same man with the lera. Give da good Lord a show and
Faithful Workers Ask
No Pay For
Salvation.
He'll pull you t'rough. The devil had
me for a long time,, but, tellers, Fvo
whipped him."
And then this man, who hod done
time In the pen and who bad known
nothing except the ways of the under
world since he was fourteen years old,
dropped down on hie knees and offered
a prayer for any bume who had not
gained what he had. It was a simple
prayer In hi* own language, but It came
from tha bottom of hla heart.
What Listener Heard.
Thera wars other* In thla meeting
Wednesday night who told similar
tales. One young man from Alabama
declared he had been a thief, drunk
ard, burglar and strong-arm man—
highwayman—and had flfid to New
York and lived on the Bowery and East
Side to keep from going to the pen. He
woe well dressed, had a good Job and
with pride he declared that tbe glaring
clectaUi signs, the saloon* and the rag
time music of tha placaa near tbe mis
sion had no attraction for him now.
And any one could see that It waa true.
Atlanta people hear much of the
fashionable churches and of others that
are not so fashionable. They hear of
Atlanta's great preachers and the en
terprises they are conducting. But few
Indeed have heard about this little
mission down In the midst of toughest
Atlanta.
They don’t have any denominations
down there. And they don't have any
preachers. All they have are a few
plain Christian men who pay their own
money to try and save a tew people the
preachers and churches never see. They
come in contact with men who would
never think of going Inside a church In
Peachtree street, and who think they
would not be welcome.
From Pockets of Poor.
The rent Is 310 a month and these
men chip In and pay It. The mission
has been running on and off for about
eighteen months. Several times ’he
mission was broken up by Oreek* rent
ing the room, so that a cheap restau
rant could be established. Finally they
secured the room they have now.
They are such men as John Daniel, a
plain working man who tells how he
staggered Into a mission four years,
two months and to many days ago after
being a drunkard of the worst type for
yean. The workers Include such men
as Charito Holt, the tailor on North
Pryor street; Thomas B. Epps, with
Elscman & Well; W. W. Thurman, a
blind young man who canes chairs for
a living at| 808 Grand opsra house
building, and who spends his nights
trying to help eave bums and crooks;
George W. Lewis and Chauncsy Foots
They hold meetings every day except
Sunday from 12 to 1 o'clock and every
night at 7:30 o'clock. There are al
ways some of those Interested present
at the mission to do some talking, and
those who have found the mission help
ful to them are steady visitors. There
Is no particular form of service and
anybody who wonte to talk may do so.
