RALLY DAY IN CHATTANOOGA
Anti-Saloon League and Gideons Meet in a Common Cause.
By G. T. Howerton.
The editor of Golden Age used to
speak of this city as Boozanooga—and
he usually calls things by their real
name. But some day soon Atlanta
and Georgia will be free from the evil
influence of a thoughtless neighbor—
for Chattanooga is awake to her li
quorized shame and soon the sign of
that shame will be seen in the land no
more.
Sunday, November 30th was Anti-
Saloon Rally Day for Chattanooga,
and a great day it was, too.
The Gideons all of whom are Anti-
Saloon men, opened the rally with a
banquet at Hotel Patton Saturday at
7:30 p. m. at which the principal
speaker was that “Noblest Roman” of
them all, Ex-Senator Webb, of Bell
buckle. He stirred the boys to a live
ly faith in their powers and possi
bilities, over evil. It was a great ban
quet and did a great good; The next
stand in the fight was made as an 8
o’clock “Banquet” a breakfast given
the workers by the good lady who
feeds the Y. M. C. A. boys. Forty
people partook of her hospitality and
several short talks were made. Sen
ator Webb spoke, and gave us his
counter-slogan to the saloon friends of
repeated “Prohibition does not prohib
it,” which is “It prohibits some, thank
God” After this early meeting the
Anti-Saloon men and Gideons went to
the various churches where they oc
cupied the pulpits in the interest of the
Anti-Saloon work.
But the climax of the day was
reached when several thousand people
assembled in the city auditorium to
hear ex-Governor Patterson. It was
probably the largest audience that
ever forced its way into the building
and it came through rain to a “dry
meeting,” and it was a great audience
in more ways than one. All partisan
politics were forgotten and ex-Senator
Saunders introduced the speaker. Mr.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Everything! For example, the
name of “Ludden & Bates” on the fall
board of a piano or player-piano is a
positive and permanent guarantee of
the highest quality and durability in
every detail of construction. It means
that the keys are genuine Ivory, not
celluloid. It means that the strings
are made of the finest imported piano
wire, not of a cheap substitute. It
means that the case is built of the
choicest patterns of genuine Mahogany,
not of painted imitations. It means
that the sounding board, the most vital
part of the instrucment, is built of the
finest specimens of mountain spruce
and has been seasoned and tested for
five long years and has been pronounced
perfect by experts before the piano is
allowed to leave the Factory. It will
never warp or crack — it is perfect.
The name of “Ludden & Bates” on
your piano is like an insurance policy,
for it guarantees the owner against all
imperfections in workmanship and ma
terial. It is also your best guarantee
of superior quality in tone and action.
For nearly half a century Ludden &
Bates pianos have maintained the
highest standard of excellence.
The Golden Age Piano Club makes
it easy for you to own a Ludden &
Bates Piano or player-piano. You are
cordially invited to join. Write for
your copy of the catalogue and full

NEWS FROM THE WORKERS
THE GOLDEN AGE FOR WEEK OF DEC. 18, 1913
1 atterson was in speaking trim for
he grew more and more forceful and
eloquent to the last minute of the two
hours which he filled full of good
words for the cause he once opposed.
I can give only a few of the good
things he said:
“I drank my first dose of liquor in
an open saloon in Nashville when 1
was twenty years old—just finishing
my literary course in Vanderbilt.
“If I could have done so without
being twitted I would have spit it out
it was not good, and I did not want it.
“No one has a natural desire for
liquor—it is an acquired habit.
“To prohibit the sale of a thing
injurious and dangerous for which
one must acquire a taste is no inter
ference with personal liberty.
“I believe in prohibition—home
wide, town-wide, county-wide, state
wide.
“Liquor, liquor, how I hate it! I
hate it for what it has done to my own
life, for the homes it has wrecked, for
the lives it has destroyed.
“Did you ever see a square circle,
an honest thief, or a virtuous prosti
tute? When you see these things you
will see a respectable saloon.
“When you destroy the saloon you
will also destroy the gambling room
above, and the house of prostitution
in the rear.
“I want all my old friends to know
I am in deadly earnest.
“I pray that God will give me
strength to fight this battle, to win
this victory, which, when won, will be
one of the greatest recorded in the
world’s history.”
NEW HEAD OF SOUTHERN RAIL
WAY SYSTEM.
New York, December 1. —Fairfax
Harrison, formerly vice president of
the Southern Railway Company and
for the last three years president of
the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louis
ville Railway Company, of which the
Southern Railway Company to succeed
the late William Wilson Finley, a
special meeting of the board of direct
ors being held for the purpose of
filling the vacancy cause by Mr. Fin
ley’s death.
Mr. Harrison is a Virginian, his home
being at Belvoir, Virginia. He is pe
culiarly identified with the South, as
his father was private secretary to
Jefferson Davis while president of the
Confederate States, and all his rail
road experience has been with the
Southern and its associated lines. Mr.
Harrison was born in 1869, and was
graduated from Yale with the A. B.
degree in 1890, and from Columbia
with the A. 11. degree in 1891. He
was admitted to the bar in New York
in 1892 and continued the practice of
law in this city until 1896, when he en
tered the service of the Southern Rail
way in the legal department as solic
itor. In 1903, he was made assistant
to the president, and in 1906 became
vice president, which position he held
until 1910 when he resigned on being
elected president of the Chicago, Indi
anapolis and Louisville. He, how
ever, continued as a director of the
Southern Railway so that his service
with the parent company has been un
interrupted.
Mr. Harrison was one of Mr. Fin
ley’s closest and most trusted advis
ors and is thoroughly in sympathy
with the policies which made Mr.
Finley’s administration so successful
both for the Southern Railway Com
pany and the territory served by its
lines. Though Mr. Harrison entered
the service of the Southern in the legal
department, his experience has not
been confined to that branch of the
service. He has given much study to
financial, traffic and operating prob
lems and is intimately acquainted with
conditions on the Southern Railway
and throughout the section which it
traverses.. As president of the Chi
cago, Indianapolis and Louisville, he
was actively in charge of the opera
tion of the railway, so that he comes
to the Southern Railway prepared by
practical experience as well as the most
detailed knowledge of the details of
its affairs to take up the duties of
chief executive. Mr. Harrison today
was also elected president of the Ala
bama Great Southern Railroad, the

Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are a
compound of pepsin, and those ele
ments that must be secreted by the
stomach if the food is to be digested.
When the stomach fails to secrete
enough of these digestive agencies, the
only sane remedy is to supply a suffi
cient quantity of these elements to di
gest the food. This is the service for
which Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets were
made and they are recommended by
leading doctors and scientists. One or
two of these tablets is sufficient to di
gest the largest dinner. They stop al
most instantly all forms of digestion,
such as sour stomach, belching, heart
burn, dizziness, brash and dysentery.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets contain di
gestive elements, a single graft! of
which is capable of digesting 3,000
grains of food, such as meats, eggs,
grains, vegetables, starches and mineral
matters of all kinds.
If your stomach is sluggish or
worn out, let Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab
lets do your digesting for you until
the stomach can recuperate. Give it a
little vacation. It has a hard enough
struggle at the best, with all you put
in it. And even when your stomach
is in perfect condition, you will occa
sionally need one after a big banquet
or other social affair that taxes your
stomach to the uttermost.

your stomach. Get a 50c box of your
