TRUST GOODS SEIZED
BY U. S. AUTHORITIES
Washington. Oct. 21.—The Federal
government took another sensational
and advanced step today In Its warfare
against trusts.
It has seized trust goods passing In
Interstate traffic.
Acting under orders from the attor
ney general a $7,000 shipment of leaf
tobacco, consigned from Durham, N. <*.,
to the British American Tobacco Com
pany of Great Britain, was attached at
Norfolk. The action has been taken by
. invoking section six of the Sherman
anti-trust law, which authorizes the
seizure and condemnation by the gov
ernment agents of property of.any trust
while In Interstate or foreign commerce.
This Is the first time the section has
ever been enforced. The government
further charges that the Brltlsh-AmerL
can Company has been created as the
Instrumentality and for the especial
purpose of defeating and violating the
laws of the United States.
EXPULSION FOR SIN
NOT INTHEBIBLE
Dr. Landrum Says Prosper

TUESDAY’S ENTRIES
AT PIEDMONT PARK
“This Idea of expelling n ninn from
church every time he commits n sin Is not
right. Show me the scripture for It. I've
never been able to And It. WImt we need la
corrective discipline.**
This statement and several others equally
ss Interesting marked n talk made Monday
morning at the weekly meeting of Baptist
ministers by I>r. W. W. Landrum. Dr. Lan
drum took up the topic of church discipline,
and at the conclusion of htn talk, an ani
mated discussion on close communion re
sulted.
Dr. Landrum told of the methods employ
ed In his church to keep all the mcmlicrs
busy In church work and urged the neces
sity of preventive dlsclpijnc. He pointed
nut that It was wrong to baptize u uinu,
take him into the V’hurch and then turn
him loose. He said he must be looked after
and kept busy with church work.
In dlacusalng the corrective discipline
feature, he said be had told tr few lies
himself since he had been a minister, al
though he hated to do It, and he chal
lenged any man present to rise who bad
not done so. This admission nnd challenge
caused considerable aimiHemeiit.

WOMAN ELECTED DIRECTOR.
At a special meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Remington Typewriter
Company, two new directors of the
company were elected, one of whom
wan Mina Mary E. Orr, a lady who
entered the employ of the company aa a
stenographer nineteen years ago.
It la noteworthy that the Remington
Typewriter Company, which was the
pioneer In opening a new* field of In
dustry to women, Is hlso the first cor
poration to elect a woman to one of
the highest positions of trust within
Its gift. Miss Orr’s election as a Rem
ington director Is a recognition of long
and meritorious service,. It Is also In
a larger sense a recognition of the part
played by the woman stenographer In
the development of the typewriter busi
ness.

Governor Hoke Smith spoke for

"This Is twice almost within the year
that Cartersvllle and the state has sus.
tatned a severe loss. I come from the
state to thank you people of Bartow
for the services of John Wesley Akin
and to mourn with you over his loss.
He was a laborer, a man whose energy
and rapacity for work caused him to be
much confined, but long before he en
tered public life and assumed public of
fice he had benefited the state and the
nation by his powerful pen.”
Governor Smith then referred to the
famous essays that were written by
Judge Akin, saying In regard to the one
entitled, "The Aggressions of the Fed
eral Judiciary:" "One could almost
Imagine his wisdom and power of
thought taking him Into the future, for
In the light of events that have recent
ly transpired In North Carolina and
Alabama, what he wrote has proven
prophetic."
The governor spoke of his assocla
tlons with Judge Akin when the latter
was presiding over the senate, and told

confer upon questions bearing upon the

the congregation aung In concert the
closing hymn of the Masonic Lodge, a
hymn that was composed by Judge
Akin:
"The evening wanes, the asure sky,
In starry splendor gleams afar;
While brothers of the mystic tie
In concord work with nought to mar.
"The work Is done, the temple door,
Wide open at the parting sign:
The book Is closed upon the floor—
The lesser lights now cease to shine.
"Great Architect, whose power divine,
Sustains the loyal Mason's heart;
Go with ua from the holy shrine.
Bestow Thy blessings as we part.
"Guide us by faith and hops and love,
Amid life’s storms and stress and
fears.
Till In the eternal lodge above
We sweetly rest beyond the years.”
At the close of the hymn the body of
Judge Akin was taken In charge by the
Masons and conducted to the cemetery

The above goes to show that you must prepare at once if you are going to get

If You Need a Gun, See The Dealer Who Can Fit You Intelligently.
It is absolutely essential that your gun have the right drop, the proper
length of stock, and the correct boring..
An expert can take up almost any gun and do fairly good work with it, but
YOU cannot, Mr. Amateur, Mr. Novice or Mr. Average Shooter. Your gun must
fit you if you get the best results.
You have, perhaps noticed that when you went hunting and borrowed A’s
gun you shot fairly well, but the next time you went you took B’s gun and you
couldn’t hit a blooming thing. Why, you even missed two rabbits. Now the reason
is plain enough; the first gun fitted you and the second one did not. That’s all. By
the way, don’t try borrowing this season, but buy. a gun and buy one to fit you.
Times are good and are going to be better, and you have been putting it off a long
time. Call at our Athletic Department, Peachtree St., No. 55, and talk it over
anyway. No charge for information.

WALTER R. MASSENGALE.
He has been appointed manager
of the Richmond office of the Mas-
sengale Advertising Agency.
Owing to the rapid growth during the
past two years of the Richmond office
of the Masaengale Advertising Agency,
the business In this section of the South
has necessitated the presence of one of
the officers of the company In that city.
To this end W. R. Mnssengale, secre
tary of. the Masaengalo Advertising
Agency, left for the Virginia metropo
lis Sunday.
Mr. Masaengale Is one of the best
known and most popular of Atlanta's
young business men, and from his very
first entrance Into the commercial
world has made a most enviable repu
tation. Before becoming associated
Washington, October 21.—Special
Agent W. A. Grahain-Clark In a recent
report describes the present unpro-
gresslve state of Egyptian cotton mill-
, ing as follows:
"Cotton manufacturing Is not a very
promising Industry In Egypt. There
Is only one cotton mill in the coun
try. The sole representative In Egypt
of the world's greatest Industry Is the
Anglo-Egyptlan Spinning and Weav
ing Company (limited), which has 20,-
000 spindles and 500 looms, located at
; Alexandria. Until the first of this year
there were two cotton mills In Egypt,
but the other one, the Egyptian Cotton
, Mills (limited), of Cairo, has ceased
operations.
"One adverse factor Is that the Eng
lish government, while very friendly to
cotton raising In her possessions and
] countries where her Influence Is para-
j mount, Is unfriendly to cotton munu-
i facturlng in those lands. The insuf-
' ficlcncy of efficient help has probably
, had the largest effect In retarding the
i Industry, together with the fact that
first cost of the machinery and supplies
are much higher than In England.”
