The Georgia Oil Company started a wagon out In the streets of Atlanta Thursday morning. This wagon la selling oil at 12 1-1 cents a gallon. The Standard Oil Company Is selling oil at 11 cents a gallon. Since the new company was projected here In Atlanta the Standard has lapped one cent oil the price. Exactly why this was done has never been clearly explained by the local Htandard officials. Messrs. Uoardman and Rasbury say the reduction was made by the octopus for the purpose of throttling them. Anyway, the Standard at the same time raised the price of gasoline here end didn't lower the price of oil else' where, so far ns can be ascertained. Messrs. Rnnrdmnn and Rasbury say they can't afford to sell their oil for less thnn 12 1-2 cents, and that they nre going to depend on the sympathy of the people with them In their "trust busting" venture.

Buperlntendent Myers said Thura day: The night concerts have been done away with for this year. The Hunday afternoon tnusic will continue through out September. The money appropri ated for music In the park is getting low, and to have the band on Sunday afternoon throughout September we will have to give up the evening con certs.” During the hot afternoons and close evenings of the summer the music hns been enjoyed by thousands of cltlsens not so situated as to leave the city for seaside or mountain-top resorts. The appropriation to this feature of the park has probably been enjoyed more and by a greater number of cltlsens than any other municipal donation to the police.

WORK WILL SOON BEGIN ON THE MASONIC TEMPLE LOUISIANA PRIMARY DEVOID JMNTEREST Only Excitement Is Where Local Contests Are Be ing Waged. Mrs, Aliet N. Clark. Funeral service* over the body of Mr*. Alice E. Clark, wife of Dr. John Clark, were held at the residence, 15 Forrest avenue, at 5 o'clock Wed nesday afternoon. The body was ta ken to Smlthvllle, Go., for interment. J. A. Scott. Funeral service* of J. A. Scott will be held at the residence, 19 Longley avenue, Howell* Station, at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. Before the winter month* have come around, work will start on the Mason!* temple to be erected at the corner of Peachtree and West Caine street*. Thomas II. Morgan, of Morgan & Dillon, the architects who drew the plans for the $200,000 building, stated Thursday that work of raising money to build the temple hud begun again and that It was the expectation to break the ground before many months. •’There has never been any loas of In terest In raising tlje money," said Mr. Morgan, "but when the exposition mat ter came up most of those working for the temple were Interested. Then the summer came on and tho election, so the work was laid aside. During the last week or ten days It ha* been started again. There Is about S75.000 or $80,000 already raised and the work could start Immediately, but it Is 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 nnd North Pryor street, which was owned by the Masons, was sold some time ago for $40,000 am! the Peachtree lot, €0 by 140 feet, waa bought for $30,- the building fund and the several local lodges raised the rest of the $80,000 as 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 stated 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 store* on *he Peachtree side and the main en- t*ance Is on Cain street. It waa the original plan to later do away with one of the stores and to make the main en trance on Peachtree, but now It Is be lieved that the center store will be don away with from the beginning. The entrance on Cain 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 it will house This has been car ried out with such knowledge and ar tistic skill that even the lodge rooms will surges* In the Interior architect ure the orders that will occupy them. 8peelal to The Georgian.

(.—Later de velopments In the death of Mlsa Had den tend to show that the young woman shot herself, whether accidentally of with suicidal Intent, can not be learned. The coroner's Jury la now sitting on tha case. Copyright, 1(06, by American, Journal and Examiner. A N anonymous correspondent Is sending hls Idea of a prayer and a blessing, with a "string tied to 1C through the malls. Hls prayer ends as follows: "O, Eeternal Lord, have marry upon us and deliver us from aJI evil. Amen." "At Jerusalem during holy mnss a voice was heard to aay: ‘They who do not write this prayer after receiving It ahall be afflicted by a great calamity, and he who pays no uttemlon to It shall be punished 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 It.”’ Tha writer of the above will find hls threat a boomerang. All thoughts of evil sent out from the inlnd to any one By hlme like ravens and carrion crows to roost. The mind which conceived such an endless chain of wrong-thinking needs, Indeed, to cry "Deliver ua from all evil." But God does not deliver us from evil If we nil our hearts with the superstition and black 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 ua or bring disaster upon us, save our own- selves. If I nil my mind with fear and be come weak and nervoua 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 nt myself for the reception of hypnotic sugges tions from some other mind. I become like the man who destroys hls digestive powers with drink end drugs and gross foods and other bad habits, and opens the door to disease. When he falls III, It la not "a calamity God has sent upon him," but the re sult of hls own misuse of hls body. Had he lived properly be would have made It Impossible for disease to gain an entrance at hls 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 the 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 tho kind of thoughts we send forth will return to us as event*. So sure as the writer ot the above anonymous communication lives, he or she will suffer from the effect of such a mental condition. I am sorry for him and will send him thoughts of reformation. We hava no right to formulate any prayer for another. Each soul must make Its own petition tn the Great Cause, In order to have It heard, Juat as we must olm our own arrow If we would hit a mark. There Is not an hour passes by that my heart does not send forth its pray er of gratitude to the Creator for Hls rlorlou* gift of life. And added to It gulshlng all worth-while qualities in a purely selfish existence. There was a little magazine publish ed In San Frarfclsco called "Now." It was devoted to “new thought.” Its ed- Itor writes of the great calamity: "Never ao strong In faith as now. Never so firmly fixed as now In truth and love. Never were we so very deep, ly grounded In the principles for which Now stands. Amid all these conditions, which no pen or tongue can describe, we have rejoiced that we have laid up our treasures In the henven nt our soul where neither moth and rust, earth quake or fire can destroy. Never did I sense as nbw the real possession, and see the Illusion of material things. "Never was my faith In, and my lov* for, humanity so great aa now, when I have seen It tested and realized the true nobility of the men and women about me. Brave, noble, generous, help ful, patient, and, above all, trustful. "Humanity stands glorified, the air filled with new thought vibrations, Thi thought of the advanced thinkers of the world will eryatallze hero. Thlj Pity Is to be the psychic, the spiritual tapltal of the nation. Tha civic cnpltal s oh the Atlantic coast, but this Is Its real thought nnd soul cnpltal. "Not a member of Now folk was Injured. We were thrown about Wed nesday morning, but by some peculiar circumstance, falling furniture did not hit any one. There were thirteen per sons In the home. "I looked at my pleasant sanctum on Thursday when we thought It would be saved, nnd said to It: ‘Blessed little room. You ore the nleaaanteat and the only one where I have things as I wish for my work. I have been happy In you. But If it 1s decreed that I must lose you, blessed are we for having each other. I got along before I had you, so will-1 get along now. You are not necessary to me. I can build an other!' After this I could have seen It bum and sold: 'All Is good!' In this same spirit my co-workera met ecery occasion. Many times thty said: I can get along without lt.‘ "Oh! but It waa an awe-inspiring spectacle to see square miles of noble bluldlngs In flames. It was a moment of'Intense concentration, aa we four sat on the htll together and knowing the power of thought we sold of the church on Dolores street that was the crucial point: 'It Is safe!' The steeple caught fire. If that went then the tire would back up to our H»me. When heroes saved It, never went a 'praise God’ more devoutly thnn went from our hearts. To our blankets In the park we went and slept. The home waa saved, not for ua, but for the needy. To our brothers and sisters In need, Now, Its publishers and their property Is devoted.” , , This Is the religion the world needs. Not the anonymous lattar, with Its "or thodox” prayer and postscript of a curse—not the creed which says: 'D>u shall be damned If you do not worship In my way!" Away with such creeds to the rag man! They are moth eatan. BAIL IS GRANTED TO MRS. BIRDSONG HELD FOR MURDEIl a the petition for strength and wls 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, la for the beat devetoi ment of my character and must I ao used. Does the writer of the anonymous trayer for one Instant Imagine there s a God so pusillanimous and re vengeful that He would send "acci dents" dnd "calamities" to me If I fail ed to aay and send out a prayer of an other's wording? I am glad I can not conceive of auch a Creator. The name of the Great Master and Teacher, Christ, waa spoken several times In this prayer. That gentle being la newly crucified by auch a follower, who blaaphemea In using Hls name. It would be well for many pretenders In (he court of Christianity If they could realise that accidents are not nlwayi calamities, but many times bleealngs In disguise. A woman, famed the world over, never knew ehe 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 ehe waa engaged, at the time of her "calamity” waa coat away as a broken reed, and thejjranlte stairway of her discov ered talent she climbed to success and fame and usefulness. Thousands nf people who suffered In the great calamity nf the Pacific coast will yet date the hour of their greatest prosperity, and their beat mental and spiritual development, from that event. There la no calamity for a human be ing ao great as the loas of self-respect and faith In eternal Justice. It Is a calamity to forget the real purpose of existence, which Is develop ment of character. In the mad race for wealth, fame, . power and worldly achievements.
