MULLIS, JR. Business Mgr. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE SI.OO PER YEAR The Old South ern Mammy. In another column you will find a tribute fi>iui Dr. Walker to the rare old antcbelluni mammy, who is fast disappearing from the face of this earth and leaving us only recol lections of a unique condition and civilization unparalleled in the his tory of the world. This good old negro woman represented the best element of her race. The contemplation of tier death will cause many of our older citiz ens to look backward to a period in the history of our country, that tried men’s souls. The faithfulness of these old dar kies will never be forgotten. If the younger generation would follow the example of our old time darkies there would Ire no race trouble star ing us in the face. Dr. Broughton Called to London. Dr. Lcn G. Broughton has been invited to the pastorate of Christ church, liondon, and there was a great gathering at the Baptist Tab ernacle in Atlanta, composed of some of the city’s best and most prominent citizens to protest against this distinguished divine leaving. Dr. Broughton has done a great work for Atlanta and Georgia, and Atlantians are always loth to give np a good thing when they know it. The great church that he has fost ered and built up, together with the Christian and benevolent institu tions, connected there with, marks him, as a remarkable man, endowed with strength of mind, force of character, and sufficient enthusiasm to accomplish great things. Dr. Broughton may be considered a sensational preacher by some people, and he has no doubt stirred up con siderable opposition among the ranks of the wrong doers, who have often felt the heavy blow of his moral sledge hammer, he has neverthe less left the impress of his strong mind and character upon the people of Atlanta and Georgia, and has already built for himself an endur ing monument. Judging a man in the light of his accomplishments, Dr. Broughton has been a great success, and Geor gia needs more men of his calibre. I have no doubt our capitol city thinks herself quite as important as London, and the gate city of the South, the greatest country on earth, can’t aflord to relinquish such an asset as Dr. Broughton even to the metropolis of the word.
