Sermon, of Two Chica
go Ministers
During the Good Roads Cor
gress held in Chicago, great in¬
terest in the movement was taken
by a number of the ministers of
that city.
Rev. Samuel Fallows, of the St.
Paul’s Reformed Episcopa’ Church
preached a sermon to the visitors,
in the course of which he said:
“The cnuse of religion will be
distinctly advanced by the build¬
ing of good roads. The famous
Roman roads, which stretched out
from the Eternal City into the
very heart of the provinces to be
subdued, were not only employed
by l$r conquering legions, but by
her conquering legions, but by the
missionaries of the cross. With¬
out these great highways the pro¬
gress of Christianity could not
have been rapid. Church histori¬
ans have dwelt with enthusiasm
upon these material aids to the
triumph of the faith. Today the
country churches found so numer¬
ous in all sections of our country,
depend upon ease of access to them
by their worshipping congrega¬
tions. The church at large, then,
can not be indifferent to the earnest
efforts made by the Good Roads
Association for the accomplish¬
ment of their ends. Every possi¬
ble aid ought to be given them.”
Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, an¬
other Chicago minister, announc¬
ed that he was preparing to under¬
take a campaign to have “good
roads Sunday” observed iu all of
the churches, and a special day set
aside for it. Among other things
he said:
‘Good streets, good roads, good
religion, cleanliness that is next
to godliness, include all civic
cleanliness. The man that walks
over broken pavement, through
puddles of mud, arriving at chbrch
wet and dirty, is hardly sweet-
natured when he enters his pew.
My congregation shall surely hear
of the good roads movement.”

Georgia’s Assets More
Than Her Obligation
Atlanta, Jan. 3.—Under direc¬
tion of State Treasurer VV. J.
Speer, his assistant, J. O. Ander¬
son, 1 as prepared an interesting
statement of the state’s financial
status at the close of business on
December 31.
The report shows that including
bonded indebtedness and all out¬
standing obligations Georgia’s as¬
sets are far greater than her liabil¬
ities.
After sinking fund aud other
things were deducted the total
available cash on hand on January
1 was $496,688.89. The report calls
attention to the fact that taxes
have come in slower than usual up
to date and this has prevented as
heavy payments to teachers as in
former years. Up to the new year
teachers had received only 41 per
cent of the appropriation of $2,-
500,000, but the treasurer says
that if January collections are as
good as in years past, the balance
of 59 per cent can be paid.
The statement iu fall is as fol¬
lows:
Balance cash on hand,
Jan. 1, 1911....... $ 618,923.85
Receipts for the year,
including general tax
poll tax, near beer,
railroad corporation,
rental of W. & a. R.
and special taxes from
various sources,
amounts to 5,558,446.36
$6,177,370.21
Disbursements made
by the treasury for
the support of the
various institutions,
including the Univer¬
sity and its branches,
the common schools,
district agricultuial
schools, departments
of the state’s govern¬
ment, pensions, pub¬
lic debt, interest, etc. '
amounts to_________ $5,450,294.21
Balance as shown on
cash book 727.076.00
$6,177,370.21
Snowbound Kansas
People Need Pro¬
visions
Topkka, Kas. Jan. 3.—6no\w-
bound and cut off from railway

tne people of the town of
Dighton, in western Kansas today
appealed by telegraph to the state
utilities commission for aid.

been without railway service for a
week. The citizens report that
they are short of provisions and
coal and that unless aid comes soon
there will be great suffering. The
towns are on a branch line of the

Brya.n Doesn't See
Why He Should Be
Candidate
Tampa, Fla. Jan. 3. —“I can¬
not c.enceive any condition that
would make it possible for me to
consider the question of my be¬
coming the candidate for the pres
idemial nomination of the demo¬
cratic party in 1912.”
This was the declaration of Co).
William Jennings Bryan shortly
after his arrival here this after¬
noon from Havana, in company
with Mrs. Bryan. They left to¬
night lor Washington, en route
home.
Mr. Bryan declined to comment
on the action of the progressive
democrats of ()hio yesterday in
pushing his name to the front as a
candidate and the utterance of Con-
gasman Bj jan Lentz, who has said
was the natural candidate
i progressive democrats.
