Havannah, Oa., Nov. 30.—Exiles from
their own home, in Sylvania, Screven
county, by mutual consent, Messrs. E.
K. and J. \V. Overstreet, cousins and
candidates for congre/w from the First
district, are in Savannah to remain un
til the race between them Is deter
mined in a unique method. Under an
agreement between the two they have
left the question as to which of them
wJiJ run for congress in the hands of
the voters of Screven county, at a
primary to be held December 6. In
the meantime neither Is to go to the
county. Both, however, will conduct
"literary" campaigns. Judge J. \V.
Overstreet served In congress for the
remainder of Colonel Lester's term.
The raco Is hot between the two cous
ins and considerable feeling has been
aroused in the unusual contest. Judge
Overstreet’s headquarters are in 8a-
vunnaii and his cousin lias established
headquarters at Mlllen.
In Sylvanla, the home of the Over
s' reets, it Is said business, for the time
being, has been largely abandoned and
friends of the two candidates are
working as they never worked before
for their respective choices.
This Is a new departure in the
primary plan und since the question of
a candidate is left with the people of
the home county of the candidates the
choice will go into the general elec
tion with a strong indorsement.

Interesting figures were given showing

What Atlanta Give*.
Atlanta, be said, gnve last year '$522,000
>r the work at home and only $24,000
abroad, or $21 here for every dollar fo- for*
elgn missions. Yet the field was greater
broad and Atlanta's res|>ou*ihillty greater
jere than the percentage spent.
At tht* conclusion of him talk, several abort
talks were made by those present urging
tho necessity of a more united effort on the
part of the Atlanta churches to increase
Atluiqa's offering and to let Atlanta
htirchea share their proportionate ar
f tbe responsibility.
Kx-ttovertmr W. J. Norfben declared he
bad been astounded at tbe facts aud figures
lie had beard, and said Atlanta should give
three times as much or at least $80,000. K.
Calloway thought Atlanta could give
times ns much and then not being doing
e than was really necessary,
concluding. Mr. White pointed out that
aside from the spreadlug of tb** Gospel and
earning out Christ's command, tbs evan
gelizing of the world would be a good bust-
proposition and would create a da-
for ngrt'e manufactures, especially
cotton.
Before the meeting adjourned It was de
cided to appoint a committee of not more
than twenty five composed of members of
the various denominations In Atlanta to

SPECIAL TABLE D’HOTE
DINNER SERVED EVE
RY SUNDAY AT THE
NEW KIMBALL, 6 TO 8
P.M.
The public Is cordially Invited to a
triple celebration which will take
place in the Jewish synagogue, at
Piedmont avenue and Gilmer streets,
on tiunduy afternoon at 4 o’clock.
Having remodeled the place of wor
ship the Congregation Ahavath Achim
of Atlanta has now one of the largest
and one of the handsomest synagogues
In the South. The main auditorium
und gallery haa a Beating capacity of
about 2,000. The electric lights, with
tlie ancient and modern furnishings,
present a beautiful scene. It la for
that reason that the re-dedication is
celebrated.
The Chanaucah celebration, in which
the children of the Babbath school will
take part, has always been one
which the members look forward with
great anticipation, for it reminds them
of the heroes, the Muccabees, how they
freed themselves from Antlochu*
Eplphonus who oppressed them, and
how Judas, the Maccabee, with a
handful of people, defeated a great
army and after entering Jerusalem
and cleansing the temple, only found
oil enough to last one day, but, by a
miracle, it last eight days, this being
the time required to prepare the sacred
oil.
The congregation Ahavath Achim
was fortunate in obtaining u rabbi who
will be the spiritual leader, a inan who
Is one of the greatest among the
American orthodox rabbis. Beside* be
ing a graduate of the great Bablnnlcal
colleges and holding diplomas from the
greatest rabbis of Europe lie is an
eloquent speaker. He has a magnetism
by which he can hold his audience for
uny length of time and one who hear*
him once will surely not miss his next
lecture. Above this he is a great think
er and scholar.
Habbt Joseph M. Levin was rabbi for
the last eight years at Wllkesbarre, Pa.,
where he was honored and respected
by all denominations. In the year
1905 when President Roosevelt deliv
ered an address in Wllkesbarre he was
honored and placed on the platform
next to the president. He has been
elected by the Congregation Ahavath
Achim for five year*. It was by hard
work of the members, of the congrega
tion and the Atlanta spirit that they
have succeeded In Inducing him
cotne to Atlanta and serve them
their rabbi, Wllkesbarre having put up
a strenuous fight to retain him. The
members are overjoyed In having him
as their spiritual leader and hope that
rill accomplish a great deal
that not only the members will be
benefited, but the city at large also.
Rev. I. M. Lubel, who i* the able
and beloved cantor of the congrega
tion, with a trained choir and a large
orchestra, under the leadership of M.
Greenblatt, has arranged a beautiful
musical progrem consisting of the moa v
ancient and sacred melodies. This con
gregation is one of the oldest orthodox
congregations organized. Undoubted
ly the seating capacity will be tested
on this occasion.
