WONDERFUL CHOICE OF ANGLO-SAXON Great Ministers Pay Trib ute to Power of Gyp- hv Preacher. "Oypfy" Smith, wlm cum** to At l*nt* nnt March at the luvltatlon of Dr. Len G. Broughton, la conaldered by the Federated Kree'churchea of Eng land aa their foreinont evangellat. Ba la not a freak or a actuation- monger. A great London dally aald «f him that hla apeerh waa one of the ftnert expoaltlona of the poaalbllltlea of Anglo-Saxon extant ainee John Bright ceaaed to speak. Hla aermon- lalnar haa power, beauty, dignity and force. “Gypsy" Smith bespeaks hla origin. He waa born of gypsy parents In a tent and roved the country In true gypsy style until he was 17 yeara of age. Then he fell under the Influence of Ira D. Sanke.v, who shed the light Into the aoul of the gypsy lad. At once' lie followed General Booth, of the 8alratlon Army, Into the squalor, the poverty, the misery of East London slums, where his consecration and lore for the lowly won for him the esteem For the non-delivery of two mes sages, three suits aggregating $10,100 vere filed Wednesday against the Western Union Telegraph Company.

CAUSE TWO SUITS AGAINST COMPANY Inn., Educated Him,,If. Here he began educating himself, taking four-week couraes In a Cam- bridge school. Men began to marvel at his powar. and to study It, After all It la simple. He follows no hide-bound creed, but out of Ills own full expe rlsnce haa coma very near to Him ha servet Hla appeal Is straight to the conscience and heart, and he never falls to reach hla audiences. > Not long ago he caine to tide coun try, and hla appeals to heart and con science reach audlecnex lure us quickly as they did In England. Some of the greatest ministers in this coun try pay willing tribute to thle man’s beauty of life and doctrine. Rev. 8. Parkes Cadman says of him, In the Lit erary Digest: "He came fragrant from the woode and the riverside, with the Inspiration of his rich experiences of the gospel slid his love for hie fellowe Informing every word and action He entered the foulest haunts of our graat cities, and God gave him euch a charisma as en abled him to pluck the prey from th» teeth of the mighty. "But beyond any native and acquired gifts Is the evident preeence In the man ..r the superior life of God In Christ Jesus. This common sourco of all our higher energies took shape atuluee In him a* an evalnegllst, an arnese, tense, transparent, and overwhelming messenger of God to men about the pri mal concents. His work reminds you In some of Its salient features of Mr. Moody's flrat mission In Britain, when the Scotch initverettlee and the slums of cities alike rendered tribute to the kingdom. He haa wisely abstained from dogmatising about theological le- sues and controverted points. The cen ter of faith for him le not a crded nor a book, but n Person and a Life." Gift of Persuasion. Even more direct aa to hla power* of persuasion Is the tribute of Dr. Newell Dwight Hlllls. pastor of Ply mouth church. Brooklyn, who says among other things: "To h|s simplicity of style he adds n marvelous gift of i>ersuaalou. If there had been a thousand non-Chrlatlaii man present, I think Smith would have lifted Slid of them to their feet. 1 hope the pit's- of the country will not make 'lie mistake of saying Hint Gypsy Smith Is not n strong man. The lest of a sermon Is. 'Does It do the tiling needed?' Gypsy Smith la moat lovable, and every drop of blood In his veins Is sincere. Tie can do for Ihe working iieople of this country and the unchurched classes what Moody did for hie generation, ought to be ihept here live years." Showing the conservatism of methods. Gnisy Smith tells how does hi* work; "I have no after-meetings. My first meeting la my last. The service Is one, from the opening hymn to llie benedic tion. When the sermon Is over, I ask for silent prayer for a few moments, and at the same time I request thoae who hove been Impre-swl and who de sire to live a new life to rise and lift their hands, and then to quietly resume their seats. This plan lias the advan tage of leading doubters to commit themselves. The mere feet that a man lias risen and held up Ida hand I many a one the derisive stop. The move to tha Inquiry room follows nat urally I then ask the anxious to puss Into the luqulry room, my workers leading the way. I myself do not leave the platform or pulpit until the whole service Is over. I make It a rule not to apeak personally to ths Inquirers, and for five reasons: First, when I hare brought a man or woman so far, I wish to retlra Into the back ground. I do not want them tu de pend on ine nr to see me any more. The personal-element must as quickly Oa„ tvaa not delivered. The petitioner, who had juet left the Tabernacle Hos pital, was not met at the train and suf fered’a relapse from the resulting ex posure, leaving him In vary bad health after seven months of confinement to Ills lied. Hla father, J. L. MeCehee, sued for $600 doctors' bills. In the other suit Cl. W. Seller sues for $5,000 damages for the non-deliv ery of a telegram from Atlanta to Flower}' Branch, Ga„ announcing the death of and requesting his brother-in- law, Broske Jones, to Itave dug a grave for the lltt)e daughter of the petitioner. The grave was not dug In time and the petitioner suffered great embarrass ment on account of the delay.

The board of water commissioners will Wednesday afternoon demand of The Georgian the name of the person who, on November 2, wrote a card at tacking the waterworks department. Park Woodward, general manager of the waterworks, will produce the card published In The Georgian and will probably answer It. There are u number of statements In the card which lutve aroused the wa ter commissioners and the manage ment. Jt I* signed "Citlaen and Con sumer." Following are a few excerpts, which are particularly objectionable to those to whom the thrusts are direct ed: ‘Your puiier on yesterday afternoon contained a vary full and complete ar tide showing the profits of the water works system of this dty. It was a most gratifying report and one which every citlaen of Atlanta would feet sat isfied with If It were not for a popular opinion -on the part of many water consumers that the meters are. Improp- prty read, and that rimsumers are charged unfair and exorbitant prices, not based on tile water they consume, but based on a disposition on the part of those In charge of the management of the department to show large earn Ings.” Are the majority of people In At lanta eutisfled with the prices that are charged them for water? I do not mean the price per thousand gallons, for this Is placed at a moderate rate, but about the reading of the meters?" "II Is my Impression that if you open your columns and ask for expressions on thin subject, promising not to pub lish or divulge names of those com plaining, It will be a surprise to you to tnow how many people In this city be lieve they are unfairly dealt with as to the amount of water they consume '•When they complain to the proper authorities, are these matters rectified? Are they satisfied?" The meter readers especially are an gry, as thoy assert that the card Is, In effect, a ehargo that they read the me ters Improperly, thereby robbing the people, Just to show large earnings for .the waterworks. They say there could -be no possible reason for their doing this, even If they had the Incli nation. . „ The commissioners will meet at 3 block Wednesday afternoon.
