2 CimTMENT OF ra« I RESCHES 01 FEB CENT] Movement of Southern Mills Will Continue Through September 1— CHARLOTTE. N. CL. Aug. 10.—•‘Cur tailment among hard yarn mills of the South during the month of July has amounted to at least 00 per cent." said T. W. Crewe secretary of the southern j Hard Ism Spinners' association, today, when queried regarding the extent ot the curtailment movement. Continuing. Mr. Crews said: “At least 50 per cent of the yarn mills are curtailing today, and it is my opinion that they will continue the cur tailment movement on through Septem ber I see no reason why they should resume operations. The outlook is bad, and there are few if any Indications of immediate Improvement. With the existing high prices ot raw cotton and | the eorrespindlng low prices offered for I manufactured goods. It would-be noth ing short of business suicide to take, up full time work at the present time, i Hard yarn mills of the south will no doubt continue to curtail sharply, and In many cases plants will remain en tirely dosed until the markets improve materially RECORD CURTAILMENT. Not in the history of cotton milling In the south has there been such ex tensive curtailment of production among yarn and’cloth mills as during July and August. The nig mills of South Carolina, or a majority of them, are jusi closing one of tne most extensive campaigns; of curtailment ever undertaken. The majority of mills In and around Greenville. S. C., resumed operations yesterday. The Monaghan mill, of Greenville, ch had been closed for two weeks, went back to work yesterday. Mills' mill, after a shut down of one week, resumed work two weeks ago. but will probably close for another week the latter part or tnts month. 'the F. W. Poe Manufacturing com pany, of Greenville, which has been running on irregular time, began regu lar work yesterday. It will close again within a tew weeks, but the shut down will be tor only a short period. The Brandon and Carolina mills, of Greenville, were cloeed for two weeks during July, but are again running. The Camperdown was shut down for one week about the same time. It Is now running. The mills rft Piedmont. S. C., resumed operations yesterday. The' majority of mills around Spartanburg. 8. C.. also resumed regular work yesterday, after having shut down for two weeks re cently. FIVE MILLS START. *' The five large mills of Charlotte, known as the Chadwick-Hoskins mills, representing about 100,000 spindles, started regular work again yesterday, after one week of idleness. The Highland Park mills, which in clude the company's mills in Charlotte, the Anchor mills at* Huntersville, the Cornelius cotton mill and Brown Man ufacturing company, at Concord. N. C.. are running on full time, as they have been all summer with the exception of last week when a rest was given the op eratives Mr. C. W. Johnson, manager of these mills, said yesterday: "Business is good Outlook is bright." The Elisabeth mill, of Charlotte, shut down Saturday for two weeks, during which time machinery will be cleaned and a complete overhauling effected. This mill will resume work on the 22d. It will be seen from the above that there has been no Iron-clad rule of cur tailment. moot of the mills having cut down work at the time best suiting them. A sort of Individual policy has, in fact, characterised the curtailment movement from the very outset, some mills, having orders on hapd being able to run. while others could not keep up full time work with poor demand and I poorer prices. Moot of the mills in the south, how- I •ver, have cut down operations to a greater or less extent, and will continue to do so unless there is steady and sub stantial Improvement. Curtailment among yarn mills has averaged al least sft per cent, and it has j been heavy among cloth mills, although not carried to the extent found necessa- * ry hv yarn manufacturers. There are those who look at the situa tion In a more optimistic light than that expressed by Mr. Crews, and these ex press the view that with the accumula tion of stocks removed there is bound to be substantial improvement by fail. They assert that already the conditions are showing improvement, there having been during the past ten days an in crease In prices offered for both cloth and yarns holinesFcamp meeting AT INDIAN SPRING JUT JETTE- Ga.. Aug. 10.—Elaborate preparations are being made for the In dian Spring Holiness camp meeting, which will begin on Thursday night. Au gust 11, and close Sunday night. August 2! Will H. Huff and Charles M Dun away will be the evangelists to lead the meeting. Although probably the largest crowds ever assembled at the Indian Spring eamp grounds were there last year from all parts of the United States, yet since each the camp ground as well as .the famous Indian Spring, where thousands go each year for the purpose of drinking the water, which is said to possess curative powers. It is expected that the crowds which will gather at the camp grounds this year will be far larger than those of former years. ALL TELEGRAPeTfRANKS WILL EXPIRE AUG. 18 NEW YORK, Aug. 10—Following the revocation of railroad passes which the Interstate commerce law abolished sev eral years ago. the telegraph companies announce that the telegraph franking privilege is soon to be withdrawn from many of those who for years have en joyed it. The amendment to the interstate com merce act eliminating the frank, except for the exclusive use of telegraph com pany officials and their families. was passed by the last session of congress and approved by the president on June 18, to take effect on August 18. Anticipating the latter date, the com panies have sent out printed notice; to ail frank holders ssklng them to send in their unconsumed supply for cancella ’ tton. The half franks are included, and It is said that on and after August 18 the complimentary business will be per manently discontinued.

A Southern Pilgrim / x Y ni L”^ e i C c urch ° t or the Holy Oep- ln Eastern Lands \ uichre In the northeastern section of the city not far from the Damascus gate is the JUDGMENT HALL OF PILATE.; This in all probability la the very hall in which Jesus was tried before Pilate, as related in Matthew 27:11-28. and corres ponding passages in other gospels. The place is now a Catholic convent, in which ISO orphan girls are being educated. Un der the convent there is shown what is claimed to be a pnrt of the original Ro man pavement of the Judgment hall, and which might well be such. In a court there Is also a pedestal, which is claimed to be the very pedestal or bema, or Judgment seat on which Pilate sat, or more probably stood, while Christ was be ing examined by him on his sixth trial. This. too. gives evidence of genuineness. Also there is an arch called the 'Ecca Homo" arch, on which it is said Pilate stood when he brought Jesus out to the multitude and said “Ecce. home." "Be hold. the man.'' What is called the Ecce homo church has been erected at the place-where the arqh runs. It was begun Op years ago and finished 8* years ago. A part of the original arch as is claim ed is shown over the altar. On the altar Is the Inscription: "Corona trlbuiatlones affloruit In coronam glorlai”—"A crown of tribulation flowers out Into a crown of giorv.” Another inscription is the words of the Savior on the cross. "Pater dl mette 1111a. non enlm sciunt quia faciunt “Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Two pictures of the emwn of thorns are very interesting. I may take ocaeton to say here that T do not by any means accept all the so-called sacred sites shown at Jerusalem as gen uine. as vou will see before, you get through this article. I confess, though, that I see no reason to doubt the authen ticity of the pavement and pedestal and probably the arch also. These are only a few of the many places and sites which may be accepted as genuine. VIA DOLOROSA. Leaving the Judgment hall of Pilate we follow the so-called via dolorosa, or sad way which Jesus is supposed to have taken on his wav to the place of crucifix ion. The wav is marked with tablets showing the different stages of statlww on the way to the cross. As T shall In dicate later. I believe that Jesus went oaiv a part of this way. But let us first follow the traditional way. 1 The first stage Is the hall of Judg ment. of which I have spoken. From this hall was taken the seals sancta. or holy stairway, which Jeaus walked on his way to the cross Thlb vtairway la now in the church of St. John Lateran at Rome. Indulgence or freedom from I ,, pur '" t ° ry offered for those who will climb the stairway on their knees, so many years for each step climbed. I saw people climbing the stairs on their knees when I was in Rome. It was while climbing this stairwav that Luther heard a voice saving to him. "The Just shall live by faith " and rose from his knees to go out and proclaim that truth until there re suited the rre-t reformation which shook Rome to ita very center. 2 The second station la at tpe .en trance to the hall under the arch, where it is bald the cross was laid upon Jesus. 3 The third station is where he sank under the weight of the cross A hos pice for pilgrims under the charge of American monks is there. Near by is said to be the house of Lazarus. 4 The house of Dives a little farther on is the fourth station. This house was built not earlier than the 15th century as evidenced by its architecture. 5 Opposite the fourth station Is the flfth where Simon of Cyrene relieved Jeaus of the cross. A depression in the wall is pointed out as the place where the hand of Christ rested when he stead ied himself. . . „ , 8. A chapel of the United Greeks marks the site of th residence and tomb of St Veronica, who la said to have wiped the perspiration from the brow .if Jesus, and on whose handkerchief his Image left a permanent impression. The handkerchief is now in St. Peter's cathedral at Rome. 7. The seventh station marks where Christ fell a second time. A modern chapel adjoins the hospice of St. John at this station. 8. The Greek monastery of St. Caro iombos marks the eighth station, where Christ is said to have addressed the woman who accompanied him. 9. A Coptic monastery marks the ninth stage. The last flve are in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, marking the places. 10. Where Jesus undressed to prepare for the crucifixion. 11. Where he was nailed to the cross. 12. Where the cross was erected. 13. Where he was taken down from the cross. 14. The tomb where he was laid. I have given, you understand, the tradi tional places. It is all very pretty. But let me say that for my part, I do not believe that a single one of these sta tions Is authentic, except the starting point at the judgment hall. It is impos sible to identify any of these places, and any effort to do so is worse than useless. Nor do I believe that Jesus even went along this way at all, except the first 100 yards or so. After that, as he came out into what is now Damas cus street, instead of turning to the left to go to the present Church of the Holy Sepulchre, I think he turned to the right —presuming the streets were then about as they are now—to go outside th« Da mascus gate to what I believe is the true Calvary. We will see about that directly, though. Let us first enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre,’ which many millions of mankind believe is the true site of the crucifixion and of the tomb. CHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE This lx located on Aera hill, in the < northwestern portion of the city. About 1 125 A.D., a temple to Venu« wax erected : here. In 325 A.D., Helena, the mother of i Constantine, the first Christian emperor, | came to Jerusalem, so tradition says, In search of .the true cross. She had the i workmen dig down at this place for ! them. She sat Lp a chair which Is shown , the visitor and watched them. After a while they came to three crosses. In order to determine which was the true cross they carried one into the presence of a sick woman. It was the cross of < one of the thieves. The woman Immedl- | ately became a raving maniac. The}- brought another cross. It proved to be the cross of the other thief. The wo man was thrown Into spasms. When they brought the third cross, she was immediately restored. And thus the true cross wss identified—at least, that is the story. If you don't believe it, they show you the place where the three crosses were found. Helena at once set' about to build a Christian church on the spot. With the aid of her powerful son, the Emperor Constantine, this was done. The church was dedicated in 336 A.D. The belief that this place was also the site of Calvary was first asserted by the Bordeaux pilgrims in 333 A.D. This first church built by Constantine was destroyed in 611 by the Persians. It was soon after rebuilt through collec tions taken from ail over the Christian world, but it was again de stroyed in 1010 by the mad caliph Ha kem. ft was again rebuilt in 1040, and was enlarged by the crusaders, who occupied Jerusalem you remember for a century. This church remained until !>CB. when it was destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt in 1810 at an expense of 33,- 000,000. one-third of which was needed for law suits and for bribing Turkish offi cials. This Is the church which Is now standing. Or rather It is a succession of churches, or series of connected shrines and chapels, the Whole being 350x280 feet. THE ATLANTA FEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 12. 191(7. L - * I wel i H EDGAR E. POLK. D. D. Within this narrow enclosure there are over 30 so-called sacred sites. belonging to different sect*, among whom there is the intensest rivalry. To keep down strife It is necessary to have Turkish soldiers on guard all the time. They look strangely out of place in a Christian church, and especially in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, lounging around, smoking their cigarettes and gazing at Christian pilgrims with a half amused smile. It made me almost feel like turn ing Peter the Hermit and going forth to preach another crusade. But their presence seems necessary. There is novd only one entrance to the church. An other was closed up recently by Sultan Abdul Hamid to prevent sftrlfe. It Is well known that the question of the cus tody of the keys of the church led to the Crimean war. Among the sacred places pointed out in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre are the center of the earth, the exact spot where the dust was procured for the creation of Adam, the actual grave of Adam, where you re member Mark Twain wept profusely on account of the death of his kinsman. It is said that when the Lord was cruci fied a drop of his blood fell on Adam's skull and made it alive. Most of the places in the church are connected with the chapel of the Parted Raiment mark the death of our Lord. Among these are ing the site where his garments were gambled for; the places where they crowned him with (horns; and where they scourged hlm;Vthese, thougW, were In the praetorium or Judgment hall of Pilate, as we are told very distinctly in Matthew 27:27-31, John 19:1 and following; the spot where they nailed him to the cross; the rock where tne cross storffl, with the cavity In which it rested; the place where the Roman centurion stood when he said: "This is the son of God"; the altar ot Stabot, where Mary th« mother of Jesus stood, and where she re ceived his body after it was taken from the cross; the stone of unction, where the body was annotated, which is de voutly kissed by pilgrims, especially Rus sian pilgrims, many of whom I saw kissing it; the tomps of Joseph of Arljn athea and of Nicodemus; the altar of the penitent thief; the spots of the crosses where the two thieves stood, etc., etc., almost an Infinitum. As I said, there are about 30 chapels under the one roof of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Chief among them are the Syrian chapel, where they still use the Aramaic language; the Abyssinian and Croptlc chapels; all of these are small; the Roman Catholic chapel. In this is said to be the post to which Jesus was tied when scourged. The post is covered up, but the visitor is allowed to touch it with a stock through a hole. In the Greek chapel, every Easter eve the Holy Fire is sup posed to come down. The fire is brought ’down on a wire and is pushed through a window, when every one within reach straggles to light his torch by it. and then hurries to carry the sacred flame back home to churches and friends. Os course it Is all a pious fraud —so much of a fraud that since the 18th century the Roman Catholics have re fused to share in it, and it has since then been perpetrated by the Greeks alone. But there are many millions of them who believe tn it and many thou sands of them come every year to catch the first sparks of the fire. THE HOLY SEPULCHRE. But the chief place of interest in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the se pulchre itself. This is in the center of the church. It is entered through a vesti bule 11 feet long by 10 feet wide, call ed the Angels' chapel. The walls of this chapel are very thick and are lined with marble. In the outer chapel 15 lamps are kept continually burning, of which 5 belong bo the Greek Catholics, 5 to the Roman Catholics. 4 to the Armenians and one to the Copts. The chapel of the sepulchre itself is only 6 1-2 feet long by 6 feet wide. Only 3 or 4 per sons can go in at a time. From the ceiling are suspended 43 lamps belonging to the sous sects just named. The sur face of the tomb is overlaid with mar ble. Personally, I do not believe that this was the real tomb of our Lord. I think it is in a different place, as I shall try to show. But I confess I was deeply $3 SC Recipe Cures Weak Meib—Free Send Name and Addres Today—You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vig orous.

I stood and saw pilgrims crawl on their knees to it, prostrating themselves and kissing the stones every foot of the way. On two afternoons I saw a number of Franciscan monks go in procession to the tomb, as they do every afternoon, I understand, chanting hymns, falling up on their knees at frequent intervals, swinging their censer and filling the room with incense. One day 1 saw 700 Aus trians march in a body Into the church and to the tomb. And there they came— Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics. Ar menians. Copts, Abyssinians, Protest ants, Russians, Austrians. Germans, Italians, Irish, English, Americans, rep resentatives of all the nations in the Christian world, which means in the civilized world, making pilgrimages to the tomb and falling down reverently before it. Why? Whose tomb? That of a crucified Jew? Yes. but far more, that of the Son of God, the Saviour of mankind, the Redeemer of the world. That is why he is so honored. . Hear Paul: "Let this mind be in you. which was also in phfist Jesus; Who, being in the form of God, though it not rob bery to be equal with God; but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the fortn of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men; and being found tn fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and bebame obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalt ed him. and given him a name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under earth; and that every topgiie 'sho6l4 .(jonCftis .that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory' of God the Father?* (Phil. 2:5-11) The reason why he is so exalted Is because he so hum bled himself. "He that humbleth him self shall be exalted," and the more he humbles himself the more he shall be exalted. No One ever stooped so low as Christ, and so no one has ever risen so high as he. His is Indeed "the name above every name." T am a Baptist- There are. many things In which I differ doctrinally from Roman Catholics and members of other denominations. But I confess that as I saw these Russian pilgrims, those Fran ciscan monks, these Austrian Catholics and others manifesting such reverence for the tomb of my Master, I felt like going to them and putting my arm around them and saying, "Brother, do you love Jesus that way? Well, I am glad to see that you do. I love him, too. And I love yoU for his sake."

GALVESTON, Tex., Aug. 10.—The Democratic state convention that ad journed last night will reassemble this afternoon and will probably adjourn late today. « The platform agreed upon will prob ! ably be adopted. It will, on state is sues, follow the campaign platform and expressions of the nominee for governor, O. B- Colquitt. ' On national affairs, the platform will be in perfect harmony with the ideas of Senator Bailey, whose friends and supporters completely dominate the convention. The platform is a practical reaffirm ation of the Texas Democratic platform of 1896, declaring against the policy of admitting raw materials free of duty so long as there is a protective tax on the manufactured products. It is the same platform on which Senator J Culberson was nominated 18 years ago ' and upon watch he will be nominated J again today for the fourth term. The ; policies are the same as Senator Bal , ley,, championed and W. J. Bryan at- ■ tacked In a series ot speeches in Texas ; last year. ■ The convention Is so well organized by the dominating forces that any op- | position to the platform agreed upon will not assume formidable proportions. The prohibition plank in the platform follows: "In obedience to the instructions given in the Democratic primary July 23, 1910, we call upon the 32d legislature of Texas to submit to the people for rejection or I approval the constitutional amendment I prohibiting the manufacture of intoxicat ing n quors in this state, l)Ut we declare that the vote upon such an amendment I shall not be the test of Democracy.” Z.

THE VERY TIME When Powerful Food Is Most Needed The need of delicate yet nutritious food is never felt so keenly as when a convalescent gets a set back on account of weak stomach. Then is when Grape- Nuts shows its power, for it is the most scientific and easily digested food in the world. "About a year ago,” says a Kansas woman, “my little 6-year-old niece, Helen, left the Invigorating and buoyant air of Kansas, where all her life she had enjoyed fairly good health, to live in the more quiet atmosphere of Ohio. She had a complete change of diet consist ing of a variety of food, and of course a change of water, somehow she eventu ally contracted typhoid fever. "After a long siege her case seemed hopeless, doctors give her up. and she was nothing but skin and bones, couldn't eat anything and for weeks did not know even her father or mother. Her parents, wishing to get something delicate and nourishing, finally hit upon Grape-Nuts food for her and it turned out to be just the thing. "She seemed to relish it. was soon conscious, of her surroundings and be gan to gain health and strengtli so rap idly that in a short time she was well, playful and robust as if she had never been ill. "We all feel that Grape-Nuts was the predominating factor in saving the sweet little girl's life.” Read the little book, “The Road to Wellville.” In pkgs. “Theres a Reason.” Ever read the above letter?

It’s only a “tenderfoot” farmer that would try such w an experiment with a cow. But mapy a farmer feeds him’ self regardless of digestion and nutrition. He might almost as well eat shav* ings for all the good he gets out of his food. The result is that the stomach grows “weak” the action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired and the man suffers the miseries of dyspepsia and the agonies of nervousness. To strengthen the stomach, restore the activity of the or iians of digestion and nutrition and brace up the nerves, use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
