THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 1S11. Red Star Special Guano (9-1.65-3) is the perfected re- r suit of many years scientific study of the needs and demands of seed soil for best development and heaviest yield per acre. The results attained in practical experience by thousands of farmers guided Joseph Stone, , the 11-year-old Jackson County boy, in se lecting RED STAR Guano above all others. In /thefinal count he won the prize, and a diploma of merit from Sec. of Agriculture Wilson, for raising 102 bushels of com on one acre of ground by using 800 pounds Red Star Guano. hJ Star Guano gives every farmer the means of greatly ' increasing his Income, u'iih the same an.ount of land and r 7 tabor. “Not- more acres, but more from th? acre** is the Red Star Guano slogan.

The following Is the outline of the sermon: THE MINISTRY OF SMALL THINGS Text, Mat. 10:42. The Lord fre quently used the most common ele ments, viz: water and bread to IS luatrate HI* teaching. He aald am the living bread.” Again, "who soever drlnketh of the water, 1 eball give him, shall never thlret” The context taken with the text auggeated two classes of Chrlatlana 1. Those who profess for what they can hope to get out of It. Many have drifted into the church for popularity. Often men Join the church for buiS ties* reasons. Others Join the church as a kind ot Are Insurance. They think they escape hell. 2. Other* who Join to see how much they can put Into It and do for the kingdom. Not “what have you got to give me?” but “what Save you got for me to do?” Not “when will you be around to see me,” but “where can I go and do good?" la their spirit. Why do so many ot the people of the second class tall? Christ bad been preaching upon the Mount and then came to the valley and found n crowd of afflicted people and healed all thoee atek and the dis ciples stood by In ntter amazement. Christ had said "Fallow me," they were discouraged realising they were Inadequate for this great mis sion, and here Christ said, “You can dc some things, even though you can’t do great things; you can give a cup of water In my name. Many people give up their high ambition nnd deslrea because they can’t do great things like someone they may know o' read shout. Men may have right anbltlona, but the wrong meth ods. Christ’s method with disciples was not exploitation, but the almp- leat nnd ordinary thing was used to teach them the real tnlng; 1. e.; the little things. The little things used mean the building up ot the kingdom. This Is true In statesmanship as well u the religious life. Men can’t be the great men of yes terday, but by minding the little thiey, they may become the great men ot tomorrow. Truth la the same, but the appli cation ot truth varies according to the changes of time and circumstances. Why are these people falling In tbelr Christian life? Beeauae they expect to reach the goal in one step. Their method la wrong. They need to learn to go step by step. They need to learn the little things at hand; little courtesies and kindness re. They need to learn “R cap at cold water.” Christians need to learn to do the little thjngs to the “least of these” where the world will not see to applaud, f a Bandar school teacher would begin this ministry, the Sunday school rooms won Id bar* to bo enlarged on account of number*. ‘This ministry of small things” la what this old aln-cursed and suffer ing world Is hungry for. The world don’t understand our theology, but they can understand when a Christ ian woman goes to a humble home with a bunch of flowers. The world only knows our theology Insomuch as It Is Incarnated In our dally lives. Will the world be disappointed In you Id Its cry for these things or will you respond with a “ministry of small things." The world, on Us read to hell, wants a friend more than o prayer. DR. ROBERTSON. Dr. Robertson's closing message was on "The Final Teats of the Deity of Jesus." In the course of his lec tures, he said that If God la a Father Ho must hare a Son; If an eternal Father, He mutt have an eternal Son. Christ, and none other has met the testa the skepticism of some mod em scientists, he quoted 8ir Oliver Lodge, than whom there is no more eminent scientist of today, as saying that science has found out nothing to Justify It In aaylng that God could not, or did not manifest Himself In Jesua Christ, Hit Son. He showed from the translation of the Greek text, ot which he Is a mas ter, of the New Teatament, that from the words used, the writers were thoroughly convinced that He Is the God unveiled In the flesh. John speak ing of Him, calls Him "the only begot ten God.” He (poke of the Deity that flashed forth In the garden of Geth- s. -mane, while on the cross, by the earthquake and veiling of the aun. Mia resurrection appearances after Ilia ascension, and last of all, His regenerating power In the lives of men, seen all about us every day. Dr. Robertson appealed to his audience t. i remember that no other name has ever transformed a single life, and submitted tht no man bss a right to deny the Saviour’s Deity until be has given Him a chance in bis own life. DR. GUILLE. Dr. George E. Gullle, one ot the most prominent Presbyterian minis ter* of the state. Is adding largely to the Interest of the Bible confer ence. He delivered the first of a ae ries of aermona on "The Second Com ing of Christ," In which he spoke' of the Lord’s second coming . aa the Christian's hope, the hope of the church, and of the world. Hia com ing will be personal and literal; that when He cornea the righteous dead will rise, and the righteous living will be changed. “We shall not all sleep," says St. Paul, “but we shall all be changed in a moment In the twinkling of an eye.” And this la our comfort when our loved ones die, in'Titua, 4:13-18. Grace teaches ut, according to Titus, second chapter, how to live, "righteously, soberly, godly," and also to "look for the ap pearing of the glory of God and His Son, Jesua Chrlat." DR. MA8SEE. Dr. J. C. Masse spoke on "The Book of Genesis,” and said he be lieved the Book Just as It Is written. He said he believed In the Bible story of creation and bad long since ceased to fear the scientist, because one gen eration of scientists get theories and declare they are absolutely right, and the next generation of them explode the whole business, while the Old Book remains. Dr. Masse denied that he was evoluted from a tadpole or monkey, and said If there has been evolution, God started It, and he did not claim kin with monkeys. He aald the Bible stands, teaches, endures,' comforts and saves, and the best answer to Infidelity and destruc tive criticism la the Book. In speaking of the creation of man, Mr. Maaaee showed that God mad* the home, the foundation ot all the work of the finished creation. God bound together one man and one wo man, and there Is no divorce business In the mind of God. Dr. Massee said the first time the devil told the lie, “Thou (halt not die,” was to a woman, and the last one was to an “old female fool Boston.” Whenever there Is a denial of God' word, the devil is back of It all. Dr. Massee strongly Impressed upon bis hearers that "curiosity concern ing sin” Is near the path of ruin, said that Evtt fell In taking of the tree of good and evil, and that the devil Is getting many young people, as well as old people, to go In the way of sin by mixing tlfe evil with the good. He illustrated this by the the ater. “People cannot see good and evil portrayed without getting a taint of the evil,” said Dr. Massee. closed by showing that the only way to get rid of sin was to put on the robe of righteousness. DR. KEMP. Dr. Kemp spoke on the text: I, Tim, 4:16, “Take heed to Thyself." spoke of the necessity of cultivating the Inner life. He said "The link which holds us to the cross is the knowledge of our salvation, and we are to keep our regeneration In mind tor this Is the foundation on which our Christian-life reals." He showed that the world needs a message with the "wooing- note,” and the only way to keep the heart tender wns to keep our minds on the fact of our haring been saved from sin. He showed further tbe ne cessity of not only having the trust to become linked to Christ, but tbe trust that keeps us and connects us with the source of power. Dr. Kemp urged the people to give Christ their love as well as sacra- flee, and spoke ot the necessity of guarding and regulating our love to keep It from prostitution. We muat not allow our love to be diverted from the central object. Mr. Kemp closed by speaking, on tbe necessity of tak ing heed to the secret place of pray er. The summary of his message was (1) Linked to Chrlat; (2) Confidence In Him; (3) Devotion to Him; (4) Communion with Him. DR. MABIE. Those who did not hear Dr. Ma bie cannot get a conception of hit great message. HU subject was the atonement. He showed that all Deity took part In the atoneemnt, and in stead of Chrlat taking the place of third person, God became His own mediator. He said that when men got a clear conception of the atonement they would be compelled to accept It, for It showed God In HU love for sinful man. He apoke of Judge Lindsay, that wonderful juvenile court Judge, who, when be went to a prison and found a little boy asleep on the cement floor, ha* took him In hla arms and awoke him, and the boy said "Judge, I’m so glad you’re come to get me out of this place.” The Judge replied ”1 came once and got you out and you went wrong again, and I am In trouble." "O!" said tbe boy, "Judge If you get me out. I’ll never get you la trouble again.” The boy saw the love of the Judge and responded. Hear Dr. Mabie for yourself and get that great book of hla on “The Divine Reason of the Cross.” The growth of the city of Athens goes right on.

Russell, Ankona, Fla. 4t CHENEY’S EXPECTORANT The Great Cough Cure MONEY BID Government Believes That Greene and Gaynor Have Million or Two Safe ly Salted. Atlanta, March 21.—Just how long It Is going to take the government to prove whether or not Beniamin D. Greene and John F. Gaynor are pau per*. Is problematical, according to the bearing which began today before United States Commissioner Walter T. Colquitt In the federal building here. Greene and Gaynor, former con tractors on the Savannah and other harbors, who completed on February 7, their four year terms upon con viction of conspiracy in defrauding the government out of several mil lion dollars, through collusion with former cajltaln of the engineer corps, Oberlin M. Carter, would ordinarily have been relieved of their fines and released on March 7, one month later by the simple process of taking the pauper’s oath, to the effect that they had no money and could not pay the fines imposed. A few days In advance of March 7 they filed an anplic.it Ion before Com nilssioner Colquitt, In the usual form, for permission to take the pauper's cstb, and the hearing wns set for that date. On March 7 the two prisoners were brought Into the city and before tl.» commissioners. Greene looked ibc old time Greene, tall, of stately bear ing with gray hair and moustache now whitened; broken a little, perhaps, nnd slightly rounded from hla one time erectness, but otherwise the same Greene who used to figure In hundreds of thousands (of govern ment money) and yet who; as he told the court, never kept any books. Behind Greene came, leaning on the arm of a deputy, John F. Gaynor, not the Gaynor of the olden days, but a white faced, almost wizened rnan wearing smoked glasea to protect his eyes and an overcoat to keep out the balmy spring atmosphere which seem e<l just a little too crisp for bis fee bleness. Gaynor no longer wears moustache; he used to have a heavy black one. His face Is waxen and has gait Is slow. Yet withal he la in fat better health than when be enter ed the federal prison a sufferer from locomotor ataxia. Then he could scarcely move about at all; now hl9 power of locomotion Is restored, though his gait la feeble. Ordinarily, as stated, the two pris oners might have procured their re- leaie within one month from the ex piration of their sentence by the sim ple signature lu a pauper's oath. But In addition to the sentence of Impris onment they were fined by the court 2585,749.90 each, and though they are willing to swear they haven't a pen ny, there Is a stubborn belief on the part of government officials who have conducted the cate, that they are well fixed and have plentiful cash where they will be able to get hold of It when they need IL Belief exists among government of ficials who are working on the cate that Greene and Gaynor each hat something like a million dollars hid den out; also that they will be able to find. If not all, at leaat a part ot It. It la thought they turned It over to trailed relatives and friends to keep for the mand that they can be forced to disgorge part of It, aa waa done In the case of Carter. In Carter’s case the country was ransacked to dig up hla treasure which was not securely hidden least not so securely but that Special Attorney Marlon Erwin waa able to dig up about half a million of It and restore It to the national treasury. Some of It was taken from Carter's other; some waa found In New York and some in Chicago, and there was valuable real estate In New Jer sey and $30,000 In gold certificates as part of the haul made in a safety de posit vault In Wheeling, West Va. In the tame way government ofll- ceri believe they are going to be able to dig up property and cash be longing to Greene and Gaynor and make them pay a good part. If not all of their flnei. For this reason It becomes proble matical as to just when Greene and Gaynor will secure their freedom. If they should finally succeed in convinc ing the commissioner that they are entitled to take the pauper's oath. It will not be until the government of ficials have exhausted every meana their power of unearthing the re covering part or all of their alleged hoard. If, on tbe other hand. It should de velop that they have money, It will be a question of bow long It will he the government to get It, or all It that It desires to get. In the meantime Greene and Gay- nor will coutlnue to reside at the fed eral prison, coming Into Atlanta only such times aa Is necessary to re sume the hearing before the commis sioner, or for any other proceedings which may require their presence. While they have gotten used to It there and their health Is good, are ttlll very anxious for their liberty, and through tbe aid ot tbelr counsel they will make every possible effort to get It at tbe earliest prac- keep for them and tba’. they can be Can a Man Keep Liquor in Office For His Own Illness and Escape Atlanta, March 21.—The interesting it In his office aa medicine.

I So another Interesting question In In this ease J. H. Hunter, a Macon volving the state prohibition law is man, got caught. Mr. Hunter had tc come to the court of appeals for two pints of whiskey in his store and it happened that some prowling sleuth found out about them and then found them. They were produced in evidence and Mr. Hunter was convicted in the city court of violating the prohibition law which makes It unlawful In one of its sections, for a man to keep liqours in his office or place of busi ness. Now the defendant pleaded that he tvas in ill health, suffering from ma laria and on that account kept a lit tle whiskey in his office for bis per sonal use. And those who have been on the coasts will recall that one the Important uses of whiskey down there Is to keep off the malarial bug. construction. The law Is specific, and, as stated, make no exceptions but that Is the letter of the law and it remains to be seen bow the court will construe its spirits, The court of appeals, while strang le upholding the law in every essen rial detail, 1ms been quite liberal in Its construction In Individual cases, such as those In which the violation has been purely technical or so small as to be of practically no conse quence. If the case in question proves to be one In which the liquor was kept In the office solely on account of sick ness, and the evidence substantiates this claim. It Is then a case similar But this didn't go with the court as ! to some'others in which the court of tbe law makes no exception, not even appeals has refused to let the con- providing that a sick man may keep victlon stand.

This statement is made on the authority of tbe state ments of those who say that hereto fore the;' have had little trouble In locating a boot-legger or a walking varmint but that for the past few day9 it has been as dry as a bone in the August aun all around In tbe region of Athens and environs. » Atlanta has her trouble* the same mother cities with the whiskey tiger evil. The Constitution of yesterday had the following startling story: Here's nt you for blind tigers. The Hon. John E. E. McClelland, councilman from tbe second ward. Introduced an ordinance in council yesterday afternoon, which looks like h sure catcher for tbe bllad animal that rambles around with booze. committee on ordinances and legisla tion, and Its fate will be known In u couple of weeks. If the law Is adopted it sure will cause a revolution in the booze busi ness In this burg. Here Is what the ordinance says: Section 1. All railway companies, express companies, or any common carrier, doing business In tbe city ol Atlanta, shall, on receipt ot any spIrUntous or malt liquors, -beer or wines, in quaititles in excess of one gallon, shall on receipt of same, or the day following, make a full and ccmpleto report of aaraa In writing to the chief of police of the city of At lanta, giving the name of the consign o.% together with place from where shipped, the name of the consignee, the quantity by cases or barrels, and and contents, and the name of the brand of all liquors, beers, wines, etc. Sec. 2. That In the event that any person or firm or corporation shall bare consigned them In one-gallen lets more than two shipments in any one week, then a full report shall be made of said receipts the same as provided in section 1. The ordinance further requires that all delivery of liquor shall be made to bona fide holders of bills of lading. violation of the law calls for a fine between 2190 and |i>00. The trouble about this very simple- appearing expedient for tee-to-tally demolishing the possibility of tigering is that there are other express offices than Atlanta and Athens. And also Tbe ordinance was referred to the height offices. One scheme which has been worked pretty successfully In Athens and In a number of the smaller cities is to have the booze shipped by either freight or express to several nearby express offloes and freight stations. It's a little more expensive in the matter of drayage to go round over an area of ten or fif teen miles and collect up the ship ments at night and bring them Into town in a wagon, but It has been found much freer from danger when the prying eyes of n detective were probably peering through the opon door at the express office or looking over the addresses on the cases at the freight depot.

Griffith & Welch Clayton Street Atlanta, March 21.—It la definitely settled that Fulton county is to have a new courthouse. The present struc ture has been in use for a quarter o( a century and more, or ever since It was moved off the present site of the state rapitol building to make room ter the latter. It waa a new atructure twenty-live o: twenty-six years ago, and sin - then additions have been made to It, the annex having been completed not more than ten years ago. But the courthouse with Its two annexes has proven Inadequate to the legal bust neat ot Atlanta, which baa trebled In extent and population aince it was built, and now the county must have more room. With a piece of ground worth |2i>".- 900, the county Is preparing to pur chase 2158,000 more of adjoining real estate, and on the whole It proposes to erect a courthouse which, when completed with ground and building together, will have cost approximate ly 21,0000,000. Probably there Is not another mil lion dollar courthouse in the south outside, perhaps, of New Orleans. The New Orleans courthouse is built of Georgia marble, but just what will be put into tbe Atlanta atructure, has not been definitely determined. Plans for the new building are now being prepared, and will be complet ed within the next week or ten days. Letting of the contract will await tin a! decision as to materials and spe cial features of conatructlon, and the new building will hardly be complet eJ for eighteen months yet. In the meantime tbe county will cramp It self Into the old city hall and another building which have been secured for the Interim. One thing the county commission er* have determined on and that bur glar proof vaults and record rooms a* nearly fireproof aa money and hu man skill can achieve. The county lest some valuable records many years ago, and has never been able to replace them.
