Campbell Goes—Broughton Comes.
(Continued from Page 3.)
’Of course, we love him. We love him for what he
is and for what he does. The sunshine of his pres
ence, the magic of his handclasp and the power of
his message have won us completely, and in leaving
us he will carry home with him our lasting benedic
tion. And when again he shall come to see us (as
in the Providence God we trust he shall) our part
ing injunction is, that he shall bring with him his
“Better Half.” Then shall w r e be doubly glad to
hear “that the Campbells are coming.”
“Fried Chicken” and Orthodoxy.
When Mr. Peacock paid his tribute to Mr. Camp
bell he indulged in some delightful pleasantries con
cerning the Cambridge preacher and caused great
merriment by declaring among other things that he
had rarely, if ever, seen a man who could dispose of
so much Georgia fried chicken in so short a time.
After the resolutions had been presented Mr. Pea
cock called out Will D. Upshaw, Editor of The Gol
den Age, saying: “Dr. Campbell, your trip to Georgia
would be incomplete if you should go back without
hearing Will Upshaw make a characteristic spontan
eous speech.” Among other things The Golden Age
Editor said: “I knew our brother from New Eng
land must be mighty orthodox or Broughton
would never have invited him to supply the Taber
nacle pulpit, which stands for old-time religion every
day and Sunday, too. But the latest crowning evi
dence of his orthodoxy as a Baptist is the disclosure
made by Peacock that the man from classic Cam
bridge is a great lover of fried chicken. At an asso
ciation at Marietta some years ago somebody said to
Bro. A. B. Vaughan: ‘Are you enough akin to a Meth-
We desire to state to the readers of
The Golden Age that after having
made a very careful investigation of
COCA-COLA, we have concluded to
accept its advertising.
We find by consulting the most emi
nent authorities that COCA-COLA does
not contain in the minutest propor
tions either cocaine, morphine, or any
other narcotics, that it is not injurious
to health, but is refreshing and invig
orating in its physiological effects.
COCA-COLA contains about the
same amount of alcohol as is found
in a vanilla ice cream soda, or in a
glass of ordinary soda water. The in
finitesimal amount of alcohol in COCA
COLA is derived from the flavorings
used.
It contains caffeine in less quantity
than is found in a cup of strong cof
fee and about the same quantity as is
usually found in tea, but it is abso
lutely free from the tannic acid found
both in coffee and tea.
Notwithstanding the absolutely in
nocent character of COCA-COLA, com
petitors have encouraged and paid for
circulations of false and injurious
statements concerning the article,
thereby leading many z £*_ .persons
to a false impression of the compo
nent parts of this really meritorious
beverage.
In the interest of truth and of jus
tice, complete information will be sup
plied either by The COCA-COLA Com
pany, Atlanta, Ga., or by ourselves,
giving analyses of the article by lead
ing chemists of the United States and
statements from prominent physiolo
gists as to the physiological action of
COCA-COLA. The COCA-COLA com
pany are willing, if so desired, to pay
the expenses of scientific investiga
tion of the effects of COCA-COLA, by
any church, body, or temperance or
ganization, or by any combination of
religious publications, which desire to .
know the truth and to publish it.

odist preacher to like fried chicken’? ‘Ah, go off,’
said Bro. Vaughan, “I am tired of hearing Methodists
given a monopoly on liking fried chicken. We Bap
tists had been eating fried chicken for eighteen hun
dred years when the Methodists came along about a
hundred years ago, and being smart people they
knew a good thing when they saw it and took out
after us.’ ”
Concluding, Mr. Upshaw took the great preacher’s
hand and said: “In your visit, my brother, Georgia
and Massachusetts kiss each other, renewing the fel
lowship deeper even than the tie that bound our
fathers in the days of their colonial struggles. We
are one, thank God, in the flow of the Crimson Tide;
and you can go back to your great, brave church
standing sentinel there amid the enemies of the
Book and the Blood, and tell them you have com
panied here in this citadel of orthodox 2nd evangeli
cal truth with people who believe that the world’s
greatest need is a religion not less than nineteen
hundred years old.”
Campbell Goes—Broughton Comes.
The response of Mr. Campbell was a gem in beauty
of thought and tenderness of feeling, declaring that
after all he had heard of the hospitality of the
South, he would go back from his first visit telling
the people everywhere that “the half had not been
told.” He declared that with all their love for Dr.
Broughton the people in Atlanta hardly realized yet
the greatness of his work and how much he is hon
ored abroad.
Perhaps the most notable message of the Cam
bridge pastor to the large congregation that greeted
him while in Atlanta was on the subject, “Will the
Old Book Stand?”, in which the power of his logic

Broughton Returns —But Where Is His Hair?
The return of Dr. L. G. Broughton to the Taber
nacle after his summer vacation is always the signal
for a great outpouring of the people. Last Sunday
morning and night proved again his wonderful grip
on the thousands that flocked to hear him. But there
were smiles and surprises—almost akin to pain—be-
cause his long curly hair-was gone. The Atlanta
Constitution - tells the racy story thus:
It seems that while traveling in a sleeper Dr.
Broughton occupied a section that a few stops pre
vious had been occupied by children. In their play
fulness they had stuck chewing gum on the the side
of the car just before they got off the train, and on
alightifig left behind this “excess baggage.”
In making down Dr. Broughton’s berth in that
same section that night the porter knocked the
chewing gum off the wood work, and, unluckily, it
fell on the doctor’s Pillow.
When he awoke from his peaceful slumber the
next morning he was both surprised and a/iazed to
find his hair all stuck together. An investigation
proved that there was a “hunk” of chewing gum as
big as a hen’s egg to which was attached thousands
of strands of long silken hair.
It was impossible to get the chewing gum out, so
it had to be cut out. To cut out the chewing gum
section and leave the remainder would have made
this portion conspicuous by its lack of long hair.
Hence the hair cut —a la mode.
