The Georgia Oil Company started a wagon out In the street* of Atlanta Thursday morning. Thla wagon l* selling oil at 12 1-2 cent* a gallon. The Standard Oil Company'ls selling oil at II centa a gallon. Since the new company was projected here In Atlanta the Htnndard has lapped one cent oft the price. Exactly why this waa done has never been dearly explained by the • local Standard ofllclals. Messrs. Iloardman and Rasbury say the reduction was made by the octopus lor the purimae of throttling them. Anyway, the Standard at the same time raised the price of gasoline here and didn't lower the price of oil else where. so far as can be ascertained. Messrs, llonrdman and Rnsbury say they can’t afford to sell their oil for less than 12 1-2 cents, and that they are going to depend on the sympathy of the people with them In their vtrust busting" vsnture. At any rnte, an oil war appears to be on In Atlanta. IY ARE HURT IN JAPANESE RIOT Street Car Strike iu Tokio Cause of the Trouble. Special Cable—Copyright. Tokio, Sepl. 6.—A number of men.

Before the winter months have come around, work will start on the Masonite temple to be erected at the comer of Peachtree and West Caine streets. Thomaa 11. Morgan, of Morgan & Dillon, the architects who drew the plans for the $200,000 building, stated Thursdoy that work of raising money to build the temple had begun again and that It was the expectation to break the ground before many months. "There has never been any loss of In terest In raising the money,” said Mr. Morgan, "but when the exposition mat ter came up most of those working for the temple were Interested. Then tho summer came on and the election, so the work was laid aside. During the last week or ten days It has been started again. There Is about $75,000 or $80,000 already raised and the work could start Immediately, but tl la the wish of the committee to have as little debt on the building as Is possible." The lot at the comer of Auburn ave nue and North Pryor street, which was owned by Ihe Masons, wa* sold some time ago for $40,000 and Ihe Peachtree lot, $0 by HO feet, wa* bought for $$(,- 000. the building fund and the several local lodges raised the rest of the $80,000 aa bodies. It Is probable now that private subscriptions will be accepted and If so there will be but little delay before the work has commenced. Mr. Morgan ststed Wednesday that It was also probable that one of the main entrances to the building would be on Peachtree. In the plans now complete, there are three stares on 'he Peachtree side and the main en t-ance Is on Cain street. It was the original plan to later do away with one of the stores and to make the main en trance on Peachtree, but now tt Is be lieved that the center store will be don away with from the beginning. The entrance on Catn street will also remain. The building will be, when completed not only one of the handsomest fra ternal buildings In the South, but In every way suggestive of the organisa tion tt will house This ha* been car ried out with such knowledge and ar tistic skill that even the lodge rooms will suggest In the Interior architect ure the otders that will occupy them.

(.—Later de velopments In the death of Mlaa Had den tend to show fhat the young woman ahot herself, whether accidentally of with suicidal Intent, can not be learned. The coroner's Jury la now sitting on the case. Copyright, 1608, by American, Journal and Examiner. A N anonymous correspondent Is sending his Idea of a prayer and a blessing, with a "string tied to It." through the malls. His prayer ends as follows: "O, Eeternal Lord, hove mercy upon us and deliver us from all evil. Amen." N "At Jerusalem during holy mass a voice was heard to say: 'They who do not write 1 this prayer after receiving It shall be afflicted by a grout calamity, and he who pays no attention tp It shall be punlaned by an accident. “ 'They who write this prayer for nine days and deliver It to persons through mall beginning the day they receive It, and sending one only each day, will receive great blessing after nine days. Don't sign your name to The writer of the above will And his threat a boomerang. All thoughts of evil sent out from the mind to any one fly hlme like ravens and carrion crows to roost. The mind which conceived such an endless chain of wrong-thinking needs. Indeed, to cry "Deliver us from all evil." But God does not deliver us from evil If we All our hearts with the superstition and blaek thought of the dark ages. The only evil Is made by the minds of men, and they must deliver them selves of It. No one can curse us or bring disaster upon us, save our own- selves. If I fill my mind .with fear and be come weak and nervous and make no assertions to the Creator of the Uni verse, of love, faith and gratitude, but permit myself to dwell on gloomy and pessimistic subjects, then I fit myself for the reception of hypnotic sugges tlons from some other mind. I become like the man who destroys his digestive powers with drink and drugs and gross foods and other bad habits, and opens the door to -disease. When he falls 111, It Is not "a calamity God has sent .upon him,” but the re sult of his own mlsuso of his body. Had he lived properly he would have mode It Impossible for disease to gain an entrance at his door. If I think properly, which means lov ingly, kindly, cheerfully and earnest ly, about life and Its responsibilities; If I wish no man evil and all men good, and envy no one, and worship my Creator In my own way, honestly believing In that way, all tho combined curses of a multitude can not reach or harm me. ■But every person of that multitude who sent me a curse, would In due sea son be afflicted In some manner. For thoughts are things, as science Is proving, and the kind of thoughts we send forth will return to us as events. So sure as the writer of the above anonymous communication lives, he or she will suffer from the effect of such mental condition. I am sorry for him and will send him thoughts of reformation. We have no right to formulate any prayer fur another. Each soul- must make its own petition to the Great Cause, in order to have It heard. Just as we must aim our own arrow If we would hit a mark. There Is not an hour passes by that my heart doe* not send forth Its pray er of gratitude to the Creator for Ilia glorious gift of life. And added to tt Is Ihe petition for strength and wl* dom to use the great gift wisely and well and to keep ever In my mental foreground the knowledge that what ever comes to my lot, Joy or sorrow, gain or loss. It for the best develop ment of my character and must be so used. Does the writer of the anonymous rayer for one Instant Imagine there i a Oo-.l so pusillanimous and re vengeful that He would send "acci dent*" and ''calamities" to me if I fail ed to say and send out a prayer of an other's wording? I am glad I can not conceive of such a Creator. The name of -the Great Master and Teacher, Chrlat, was spoken several times In this prayer. That gentle being Is newly crucified by such a follower, who blasphemes In using His name. It would be well for many pretenders In (he court of Christianity If they could realize that accidents are not always calamities, but many times blessings In disguise. A woman, famed the world over, never knew she possessed talent until she was the victim of an accident which caused her to be confined to her room for many months. The self-sup porting occupation In which she was engaged, at the time of her “calamity" was cast away as a broken reed, and on the "ranlte stairway of her discov ered talent she climbed to success and fame and usefulness. Thousands of people who suffered In ie great calamity of the Pacific coast will yet date the hour of their greatest prosperity, and their best mental and spiritual development, from chat event. There i* no calamity for a human be- Ing so great a* the loss of self-respect and faith In eternal Justice. It Is a calamity to forget the real purpose of existence, whft-h Is develop ment of character. In the mad race for wealth, fame, power and worldly arhlsvements. It sometimes occur* that accident*. disasters and sorrows awaken men to the true conception of life, and save them from utterly extln- There was a little magazine publish ed In San Francisco called "Now." It was devoted to "new thought.” its ed. Itor writes of the great calamity: "Never so strong In faith as now. Never so firmly fixed as now In truth nnd love. Never were we so very deep, ly grounded In the principles for which Now stqnde. Amid all these condition*, which no pen or tongue can describe, we have rejoiced that we have laid up our treasures in the heaven of our soul where neither moth and rust, earth quake or fire can destroy. Never did I sense as now the real possession, and see the Illusion of material things. "Never wns my faith In, nnd my lovt for, humanity so great ns now, when I have seen it tested and realized the true nobility of the men and women about me.
