TABERNACLE PLAN Dr. Broughton Pears Other Enterprises May In terfere. A remarkable scene occurred In the Raptlsi Tabernacle Sunday night, when Dr.'Len O. Broughton told his congregation that failure for llie new tubeniHcle stared them In the face. Dr. Broughton was moved to tears ns lie told of the radlng of hla dream, and his congregation wept with him. The launching of hospital plans by Iralli the Presbyterians and Methodists Imposed demands of nearly a million dollars on Atlanta, and even the won derful liberality of thlB city could not stand such a drain. “Somebody has got to be crushed," said Dr. Broughton, “and as we are the weakest I am fearful our great hope* are gone." As he told of his ftars the congrega tion wept In sympathy, but as they have already given to their utmost they roukl offer no material consolation. Dr. Broughton told of the yonderfu! begin ning made In talslng the necessary money. Then, the trouble began. He approached' a prominent Pres byterian. who said that hla denomina tion was going to erect a >250.000 hos pital und he would have lo help them. Tlien came the gift of 150.000 from Asa Candler for a new Wesley Memo rial church and hospital combined, the gift contingent upon raising >100,000 In the city. All these great projects were too severe a drain on the city, and some of them must fall. To assure the Baptist Tabernacle It Is necessary to secure >110,000 of the amount In Atlanta. When that waa raised >150,000 Would be given from the outside—but not un til then. In dosing Ills talk, Dr. Broughton said: "My brethren, unless we can do this thing, unless we can get >50,000 within the nest few days, there Is no use of our going lo further expense, letting go the money that has already been sub scribed. There Is no use in wasting time thinking of plans and the like of that that has already almost brought some of us to our graves, unless we COMPTROLLER INSISTS ON REAL VALUATION jReturna to Comptroller-Otueral Wrlflit front t In* Col u mini* w« ter work* were mode Monday. tIn* ruiiipiin.v returning the phy* lent mill frautlilao value at 1106.000 Tlila did not BMtlnfy the comptroller, bow ver.

' \ ' Sscond Floor Muslin eparhneht There’s a lot more to Silk Petticoat selling than admiration of knife plaited flounces and ruffles edged with cute little fillings, quillings and ruchings. More than pretty colored silks with a sheen that changes from pale pink to apple green at every fold. Yes, indeed; there’s more. Suppose we hadn’t been wide awkae to the situation some months ago. Suppose we hadn’t known what advance after advance in the silk market would mean in silk petticoats. Why simply this: You would be paying 10.00 for skirts that hou can get today at 7.50. And the 5.00 petticoats would be a lot less worthy, or, if they were up in quality they would have to be less in quality instead of full liberally cut skirts. But* we thought ahead. And the result? There could be butone. Plenty of silk petticoats; plenty of patterns and colors to oosech from and—values. HOTEL ON LOOKOUT TO BE OPEN ONE WEEK. Special to The Georgian. Chattanooga, Tenn..
