KTA GEORGIAN-.
MONDAY, SHTTEMBER 24. ir«.
IN POWERFUL SERMON\
SAM P. JONES INDORSES
COURSE OF THE GEORGIAN
Hight Thousand Peo
ple Hear the Noted
Evangelist.
“I want to see the day come when
The Atlanta Georgian will have one
hundred thousand subscribers, and the
other Atlanta papers three a piece."
The above statement was made by
Bev. Sam P. Jones today, when ho was
preaching In his great tabernacle In
this city to-more than 10,000 people.
The statement was made by Mr. Jones
with great Intensity and earnestness,
and when called upon by the evangelist
to Indorse what he had said, the great
crowd arose almost to a man, and with
shouts of applause evidenced their ap
proval of the sentiment voiced by the
preacher.
Never In Its history has Cartersvllle
seen sqch an enormous crowd within Its
gates as wag’ here today. An extra
train of seven coaches, loaded to the
guards, came from Rome about 10
o’clock, and emptied a vast throng of
people. This was followed later by the
regular local train from Chattanooga,
which had ten coaches and people were
literally hanging ftom the platforms
and steps. Preceding the regular morn
ing train from Atlanta, which consisted
of ten cars, well filled, came an extra
with sixteen coaches loaded to their
utmost capacity with people. In addi
tion to the above-mentioned trains on
the Western and Atlantic were extra
trains on the Seaboard Air Line and
the Louisville and Nashville railroads
which brought great numbers of people
to the meetings.
Fifteen Thousand People.
Aside from the people who were
brought Into the city by the regular
and extra trains on the railroads, there
was a steady stream of buggies, car
riages, automobiles and wagons, of al
most all descriptions, that began to
pour Into the city at an early hour this
morning, and which stream was not in
terrupted until long after the noon
hour. It was estimated by conservative
people that there were no less than
35,000 people here today.
When Mr. Jones arose to speak at 11
o’clock. It Is safe to say that there were
at least 10,000 people within hearing of
his voice. The great number of people
who were unable to get near enough to
hear the sermon of Mr. Jones, were in
vited to attend an open-alr-overflow
meeting that was conducted in the city
park by Rev. Madlson^of New York.
Long before noon the clouds that
hoked threatening cleared away, and
the great crowd soon realized that a
j»erfect day was In store to enhance the
pleasure of the occasion. It was a per
fect day, a good-humored crowd, and
without doubt the occasion will remain
in the minds of those who were here as
the most remarkable day in the history
of this city and the tabernacle.
Evangelist in Rare Form.
As If In keeping with everything else
that made for the pleasure of this nota
ble Habbath day, those who came to
near Rev. Sam Jones found him to be
In rare form, and all ogreed the evan
gelist has lost none of his old-time Are
and earnestness. He spoke with great
force and effect, and his sermon will
remain in words of Are, with his hear
ers, for many a day.
When Mr. Jones arose to speak It
was seen that he was intensely earnest,
and thaf before he was through, to use
his own words, "the fur would Ay." He
bad not proceeded far Into his dls-
course before he took occasion to pay
bis respects to the R. M. Rose Com
pany, prominent liquor dealers of At
lanta, who caused the city of Carters
vllle to be plastered with posters, ad
vertising their w'hlskles, and which,
especially at this time, are very of
fensive to Mr. Jones and the Chrtstlan
people of this community. He handled
the Rose Company without gloves, and
many peoplo who have often heard the
evangelist handle evil-doers In a vig
orous manner say that he far surpassed
all his previous efforts, and that they
had never before heard him administer
PATRIOTIC POLICY
OP Sim MUM
Form Is Highly Orn.'imeu-
ted With Engraving of
Flags.
Georgia's Progressive Home Life In
surance Company, the State Mutual
Life, of Rome, has issued a new policy
which has attractions not only on ac
count of Its intrinsic value, but on ac
count of Its artistic effect. The idea is
a novel one, ns contracts of that kind,
though sometimes beautifully engraved,
are not particularly ornamental. The
State Mutual’s Innovation Is a "Flag
Policy" and the Arst page bears a beau
tiful reproduction In colors of the glor
ious old "Stars and Bars,” the battle
Aag of the Confederacy, and this Is
surrounded by a w reath of Aags of the
Southern states themselves. Including
Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia,
North Carolina, Missouri, Texas, Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennes
see, Mississippi, Florida and Alabama.
The flag of the United States la also
prominently introduced In the design.
The collection from which the design
as made was got together after sev
eral months of research and all the
designs are historically accurate. All
trace of some of the state flags had
been completely lost and the designs in
such cases had to be worked out from
descriptions. There Is said to be no
similar collection In existence. For a
few weeks the company will issue these
policies in any denomination upon re
quest In the application, but later. It is
understood, they will only be distrib
uted In writing certain large amounts.
In order to Introduce the series the
company offered a cash prize to the
ngent placing the first flag policy and
within a few hours received four appli
cations almost simultaneously by wire
from field men, so was obliged to award
the prize In four parts.

Anniston. Ala., Sept. 24.—The twen
ty-fourth session of the State Normal
school at Jacksonville will open today
with the largest enrollment in the his
tory, of the school, being 60 per cent
over that of last year. Over fifty coun

the school and dormitories to their
fullest. The opening exercises will be

Distinction for The Georgian.
Mr. Jones made the statement that
the Atlanta papers were owned from
"snout to tail'* by Rose and the Potte
gang, with the exception of The Atlan
ta Georgian.
"It is ae impossible,” said Mr. Jonett
"for one to get a word in an Atlanta
daily newspaper, with the exception of

but under martini law, trembling with
bar for the lives of Its men, and fear
ful as to the fate of its women. The

CHIEF CLERK MOORE,
OF FREIGHT BUREAU,
TO GO WITH A.&8.1Y,
R. D. Moore, chief clerk of the At
lanta freight bureau, since June, 1902,
has tendered his resignation to accept
a responsible position In the office of
General Freight Agent McFaddcn, of
the Atlanta and Birmingham railroad.
Mr. Moore will assume his new duties
on October 1. The Atlanta freight bu
reau Is sorry to lose his valuable ser
vices, for Mr. Moore Is by common
consent recognized as one of the most
capable rate clerks in the South. While
a young man, he has given the subject
close study and has mastered the Intri
cate problem of rate-making.
Recognizing his ability, Mr. McFad-
den offered him the position in his of
fice. His successor In the Atlanta
freight bureau has not been named
yet.

Religious Papers Criticized.
. “Not only will tho Atlanta daily pa
para, with tha exception of Tho Geor
gian,' refut# to lot you eall the names
of these dirty scoundrels In thair col
umns, but it is also trua that tha ra-
ligioua papers will not attack tha lousy
scoundrels and call tham out by name
to denounce their business.
"Arc you going to put this In your
paper?" This to Rev. W. D. Upshaw',
editor of The Golden Age.) "If you do
It will be the only religious paper that
will print It In the state."
Mr. Upshaw roplitd that he was go
ing to print every word of tho iirmon.
Ho said that ha had written an articla
against tha liquor traffic and had taken
it to the different Atlanta papers and
that all but Tha Gaorgian had rafusad
to accept it, upon the distinct ground
that they could not take the money of
liquor people for advertising and then
E rint something that would hurt thoir
ueinese.
Speaking of tho Rose advertisements
f hat have been placed upon the boards
n Cartersvllle, Mr. Jones said:
"If I had been mayor of this town
when they put those damnable things
on those bill boards. I would have torn
them off it It had Involved the city of
Cartersvllle in a law suit that would
have ended In the supreme court of the
United States. And yet this dirty
scoundrel that has the insolence to
come to this town with his Infernal
advertising will pay the Atlanta papers
for a full page of advertising, Inviting
the ladles of Atlanta down to drink his
damnable stuff. I would as soon think
of permitting my negro ChArlle to com
mit a nameless crime and then come
back to work for me as to have him to
go to a Rose entertainment at any
time.
Insult to Atlanta Women.
"I can not understand how the men
of Atlanta could let that Insult to their
women go unchallenged, and why they
did not take the dirty devil out and
cowhide him then and there. Women
drinking at Rose’s store! Think of It,
I used to think if the women were al
lowed to vote, they would vote against
whisky and for sobriety and home, but
they let them vote out In Colorado and
the old sisters go to the polls and vote
the Republican and Democratic tickets
Just like the men. They will vote for a
whisky man, too! You can’t trust an
old hen when there’s a rooster In the
barn yard."
Mr. Jones devoted most of his ser
mon to the denunciation of the liquor
traffic and to the newspapers and poli
ticians that were owned by the whisky
Interests, and when he had finished his
sermon he asked all who would Indorse
what he had said to get "on your hind
legs and say so.” *
Amidst defeanlng applause the great
audience arose and gave Its Indorse
ment to what Mr. Jones had raid.
While the audience was standing,
Mr. Jones turned to the reporter for

J. A. MONTGOMERY,
Mayor, Decatur, Ga.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I am not looking for clouds on
beautiful day, and I experience no
pleasure In finding "spots on the sun."
But I am sure I saw one on the other
wise "unclouded day” of the William
Jennings Bryan reception. And I am
Just as convinced that I ought to warn
the people against this moral danger
as Mr. Bryan was convinced that he
could not be true to his conscience and
his countrymen without speaking his
honest convictions concerning ultimate
railroad ownership. I believe in whole
some enthusiasm. I like music and
mirth, badges and banners. And so
while "the band played on” and en
thusiastic Americans Jostled each other
In the arcade of the Piedmont, a friend
handed me a pretty little Bryan badge,
all enameled and shining, decorated
and glorified with a dainty American
flag, f took It eagerly and pinned It
on my coat and felt a quicker pulse-
beat of genuine patriotism. Suddenly
another friend stood before me and
said: "Do you think It Is quite right
for us to be wearing those bodges?"
"Why not,” I answered. "I am 21
years old and a free-born American cit
izen—of course I ought to wear It!”
Then he looked at me significantly
and said: “Ask the Revenue Officer.”
I snatched the badge from my coat
and read to my startled senses the pet
advertising phrase, known all over the
land, of a prominent liquor house In
Atlanta. And there I was—uncon
sciously acting as a walking advertise
ment of liquor. I confess to a feeling
that bordered on to horror. Two
thoughts stirred me—my honest wish
to honor the Christian character and
the moral grandeur of a great Ameri
can citizen had been Imposed upon, and
a sacred occasion of high and beautiful
patriotism had been prostituted to
worse than mercenary ends.
And then when their attention was
called to it, I saw such men as that
grand old Christian soldier, Generul
Clement A. Evans, tekrlng the whisky
badge from his coat. Judge Beverly
D. Evans, that astute Christian Jurist,
kept the badge, but effaced the dlstll-
ers’ device. Mr. J. J. Maddox, Atlan
ta’s beloved Christian patriarch, said
he never dreamed what tho badge had
on It besides Bryan’s picture, nnd he
speedily threw’ It away; and Judge W.
A. Covington, whoso keen wit and mag
netic eloquence electrified everybody at
the Bryan banquet, found himself
caught for a time In the same way, and
he declared with a vigor almost vehe
ment that such a thing was "nothing
less than a shame!”
Out at the Ponce DeLeon auditorium
these badges were being handed out by
the thousand to those who crowded
through the door to hear the great
commoner speak. I saw' them shining
on tho dresses of hundreds of ladles
even in the vast audience who had been
attracted only by Bryan’s picture and
tho United States flag, not seeing for
the moment the distiller’s words be
tween.
And I'll venture the assertion that
they—these fair women, some of whom
have suffered In heart and life so much
from the debauchery of loved ones—
never dreamed, until they reached
home, and their husbands or sons of
brothers or sweethearts told them, that
they had been caught on a wave of
patriotism and made to advertise
llqiffir.
Of course, the enterprising distiller
counts It a great Joke, and If It were
not so serious In Its baleful effects, w’e
would all be Inclined to laugh at the
clever trick—but alas! I believe In my
soul it was "a trick of the devil.” "Oh,”
says some one; "don’t he hursh!" I
am not. Many otherwise good men
aro often tempted of the devil.
My own nephew, a youth of 15, came
up to me on the grounds "sporting"
one of these badges, and When I called
his attention to It, I expressed myself
In rather vigorous English. "Don’t say
It," said a bystander; "that distiller Is
•a clever fellow*; has a legal right to do
what he Is doing, and has more friends
than almost any man in Atlanta.” "So
has the devil!" I answered. All day
long tho conviction lived with me that
it was my duty to call the attention of
parents at least to this danger through
the dally press. But the "conserva
tive" answered: "This has been a great
day for tho great Commoner—don’t
point to any cloud on the sky."
That night at the banquet, where the
Christian statesman was honored by
the Young Men’s Democratic League,
by having neither wine nor "strong
drink" at his board, I sat face to face
with these same distillers and enjoyed
delightful converse with them.
Personally, the father and the son
are charming men. They had the legal
right to seize upon the presence of Mr.
Bryan to advertise their goods. And
their enterprise was worthy a better
cause.
But I believe they had no moral tight
nor the right of "the proprieties" eith
er. I believe It was u prostitution of
a high and splendid occasion to put
the face of a man who never drinks on
the badge with the whisky advertise
ment. I believe it was a patriotic out
rage to -put William J. Bryan in i
whisky barrel and lift tho “Stars and
Stripes” over his devoted head!
the name of his Christian character, In
the name of the wife of his bosom, in
the name of the children of his loins,
In the name of the youth of Georgia.
In the name of the homes and the citi
zens of America, w'hose president w'e
hope he will come to be, and In the
name of the beautiful American flag
to which Mr. Bryan paid that wonder-
ful tribute In his Ponce DeLeon speech
—the flag that ought to he the emblem
only of light and .liberty and never
drenched In the barrel and bottle of
debauchery and death—In the name, I
say, of all these sacred things I lift my
voice—the voice only of a plain Ameri
can citizen, w'ho has tried In a humble
way to help homes and inspire youth—
and enter my solemn nnd desperate
protest against this distiller’s insidious
and dangerous seizure upon tho pres
ence of William J. Bryan.
True, the name of the liquor house
did not appear on the Bryan badge, but
the morning paper. revealed what
everybody new—the n&me of R. M.
Rose Company.
This news Item declares that *’R. M
Rose Company made a great hit and
added greatly to the enjoyment of yef-
terday’s memorable occasion by giving
thousands of Bryan nuttons,” etc. Yes,
It was a hit! It hit the heart of many
a mother’s son who learned the awful
lesson that "Liquor, enthusiasm and
patriotism*’ ought to be poured Into the
same cup nnd lifted to the Ups of
American youth. "I am not mad, most
imhle Festus." I speak forth the
words of truth nnd soberness. I am
sane—If I ever was—and, like the man
described In the Bible, "sitting, cloth
ed and In my right mind." But I pro
test. Thousands of others who think
and feel will <lo the same. And adver
tising like this, with the liquor songs
they are sending out, inducing young
women lr* their parlors, like sirens of
old, to sing young men to the shores
of ruin, will only hasten the day, pray
God, when our own Capital City with
her "Atlanta spirit" and our own great
Georgia, with her purity and her prog
ress, will arise In their righteous
wrath and sw'eep the legalised liquor
traffic from the face of our fair com-
monwcalth.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 22.
P. S.—Tho above article was written
Saturday morning, before Atlanta’s
night of horror and sorrow.
Today, by the wise art of the mayor,
al| saloons are closed. Why? In order
to help insure the peace of the com
munity.
Isn’t It a shame that our beautiful,
noble city should have any places, Oh.
men of Atlanta, that must be closed by
mayor or governor, at a time like this,
to prevent the aggravation of riot and
bloodshed ?
Listen, ye friends of the saloon, the
time was never so ripe as now for
brave men who love our homes, our
manhood nnd womanhood, to rise up
nnd free Atlanta of every place that Is
the natural rendezvous of rioters and
tho hotbed of crimes. W. D. U.

One of the Biggest Policies
Ever Written in
Georgia.
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
For County Csmmiteioner.
T. M. POOLE.
Mention has been made recently In
this column of several policies for
$60,000, written on the lives of Geor
gians, and now' comes the news of the
payment of a claim of thnt amount on
the life of a well-known wholesale and
retail dry goods merchant of Augusta,
P. D. Horkan, who died In the. latter
part of August.
Mr. Horkan had a policy of that
amount In the Equitable Life, of New
York, which was taken out In 1904 on
the 25 per cent return premium plan,
under which that proportion of tho
premiums paid in were to be returned
to the beneficiary In case the policy
holder died betore the policy became
fully paid up. Consequently, the At
lanta managers of the company, Messrs.
Steiner A Burr, delivered Inst week a
check to pic estate for the amount of
$51,771.55, which representeJ a total
cost to the assured of $8,l>03.50 for Ms
Insurance. Mr. Horkan was 52 years
old and died after a short Illness of
nephritis.
In consequence of the new* New York
Insurance laws the company will dis
continue this form of policy after Jan
uary 1, 1907. It was originated on the
theory tnat the insured should pay a
little larger premium than ordinary In
the early years of his policy, which at
maturity would purchase nn additional
amount of paid-up Insurance, which
otherwise he might not he able to se
cure and In the event he died before
thnt time it would te returned In the
form of dividends as was done In the
present case. Proofs of loss were fur
nished the company on September 2,
nnd the check delivered to the estate
on September 6.
The direct profit to Mr. Horkan’s ac
count was $43,268.05.
