THE COST OF A KISS;
PASTOR LOSES PULPIT
“Offered Fifty Cents,”
Said Mrs. C. A.
London.
REV. BARNWELL
IS HUMILIATED
“Tell Even-tiling Behind
It,” Advise^ Pastor’s
Son.
"He offered my wife fifty cents for
a kin," nld C. A. London. Indignantly.
"He told me there was no harm In it
when 1 repulsed him," said Mrs. Lon
don.
“1 am deeply humiliated. I do not
care te discuss It," said Mr. Barnwell.
•'Go ahead and tell everything that Is
behind this, papa." said Mr. Barnwell'*
son, a boy of eighteen.
The parties In the affair which leJ
to the dismissal from his pastorate of
Rev. a. L. Barnwell, pastor of the
Edgewood Baptist church, on the
charge of kissing or attempting to kin
the pretty wife of his Sunday school
superintendent, discussed the circum
stances Friday night. From Mr. Lon
don there came little but expressions
- of sympathy for the deposed pastor.
From Mrs. London them was Indigna
tion. Mr. Barnwell «eemfd heart
broken.
The Husband’s Statement.
'It was not my Intention," said Mr.
London, "to talk about this unfortunate
affair, but since an Incorrect report has
been printed, and since I have been
misquoted, I feel that the public Is en
titled to a correct statement In justice
to my wife and family."
Mr. London confirmed what Mr.
Barnwell said In some respects. He
declared the preacher had not kissed
his wife—that he had only attempted
to do so.
"Either his cheek.” spoke up Mrs.
London, “or his lips—I cannot remem
ber which—touched my cheek or neck.
I repulsed his effort with Indignation.
He told me there was no harm In It
and said he had fifty cents In his pock
et for me If I would just give him one
kiss."
Mrs. London Indignant.
While Mr. London seemed to con-
elder the thing closed, not so with his
wife. At every mention of the pastor's
act. her eyes brightened, her lips set
In a firm line and she tossed her wealth
of raven hair In Indignation.
"Yes, he seemed repentant," broke in
Mrs. London, "but I think he waantore
sorry at losing his job than In what he
did."
It was three weeks ago that this nt
tempt to kiss the pretty wife.of the
Sunday school superintendent on the
part or tho pastor was made. At that
time Mr. London was In Knoxville.
Tenn.. on business, and It was not until
n week ago that he learned of the ex
perience his wife had suffered. Then
he had It from her own lips.
"Mrs. London told me a little at n
time," said Mr. London. "She knew If
the wholo truth was given to me at
once, 1 would not be accountable fur
myself. She didn't want me to get
killed and she didn't want me to huvn
the blood of another man on my hands.
Went For the Pastor.
."But the more I thought about It, the
more Ir — mint I became. My grief
was * tinted by Indignation. I
wanted to do something. 1 left home
at in o'clock last Sunday night and
called on ths pastor. I got hint up out
of bed and told him to coma with me
to my home. I didn't use any threats—
neither did I have my pistol. 1 left
that at home In my trunk.
" 'Barnwell,' said I, 'there’s been
some things going on In my home while
I have been away that 1 want you and
my wife to explain face to face.’ Bo
he came with me and sat facing my
wife. 1 then had tliem'go over the oc
currence of that afternoon. I wnnt It
dtetlnctly understood thst the pastor
never called at my home at night.
"Then I heard the whole story. I
heard ths pastor admit he had at
tempted to kies my wife, and I heard
from hint how my wife had repulsed
him and begged him to desist In his
efforts."
Quoted the Bible.
After the meeting Mr. Ikmdon had a
converaatlon with Rev. Barnwell and
the two Gill brothers, one of whom hud
been chairman of the meeting. At that
conference, Mr. London says, Mr.
Barnwell aald David hod done worse
than he dld> and yet David was loved
by Om
“I didn't like the Idea of his trying
to excuse hie conduct," said Mr. Lon
don. "by comparing himself to David.
It It true that David did wrong, but
that was no excuse for Kev. Barnwell
coming Into m.v home and attempting
to take that which is dearer to me than
all the world.”
Mr. Barnwell waa seen by a Geor
gian reporter and his son, n tine look
ing lad of about 18 years, was present
at the Interview.
The preacher was bowed down with
grief, and waa repentant. The aon was
Indignant that all tbla trouble -should
have been brought on his father. The
preacher was reserved and not Inclined
to talk, except to tell of hla sorrow
and humiliation. The aon declared It

It was for attempting to kies Mr*. London that Rev. G. L. Barnwell was

FOR TWENTY MILES
j
Southern Completes Work
From Atlanta to
Austell.
Work on the double-tracking of the
Southern road between Atlanta and
Austell, a distance of twenty miles, has
practically been completed and within
short while will be opened to both
freight and passenger truffle. The work
represents an outlay of half a million
dollars.
In putting in double tracks the civil
engineers have cut out all curves,
shortening the distance one mile, and
reducing the grades to a minimum.
The heaviest grade Is less than .76 per
cent, and freight trains with twice the
number of cara handled over the old
track can he drawn over the new rails.
The work was begun twa years ago,
but lack of labor caused considerable
loss of time and delay In construction.
A new bridge was built over the Chat
tahoochee river that cost 3100 per foot.
The double' tracks will be connected
Ith the -tracks at Inman Yard, where
the road has spent over a million dol
lars In putting In twenty miles of track
and establishing a complete pumping
station with an auxiliary plant and
pipe line. The work yet to be done
consists of grading and ballasting.
