8 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.

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.

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.
