Asserts Negro Question
Helped Make Georgia
Prohibition State.
New York, July 25.—-Within five
years—yes, within two years—sever/
Southern states will havs declared for
prohibition and driven legalized whisky
traffic from their borders."
This declaration was made today to
the Hearst News Service by Dr. Len G.
Broughton, of Atlanta, Ga., one of the
most eminent Baptist divines In the
South, who Is at present In the city,
where he Is addressing great audiences
each afternoon and evening, at the
g ospel camp. Fifty-seventh street and
roadway.
"Georgia will begin the good work,"
continued Dr. Broughton, "tomorrow
when the state prohibition bill will
pass the lower Jiouse of/he legislature
and go to the governor for his signa
ture, which It undoubtedly will receive.
"Within the next two years Virginia,
Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, Al
abama, Mississippi will follow Georgia's
example and place drastic prohibition
measures upon their statute books."
When asked the causes of Die pro
hlbltlon wave which is sweeping over
the South, Dr. Broughton said emphat.
Ically:
“The negro question undoubtedly Is
the most Important thing that has con
tributed to make Georgia a prohibition
state, and the other states will follow
In our footsteps. A vast majority of
the race frictions In the South may be
attributed to the liquor traffic. With
few exceptions, the crimes which led
to lynching are due directly or Indirect
ly to whisky. The people of the South
are coming to realize that the aboli
tion of the whisky traffic Is an essen
tial preliminary to the settlement of the
rare question, and It Is In a large meas
ure due to this conviction that tne
growth of the prohibition sentiment
may be attributed."

Three Killed
In Collision
Dr. J. L. D. Hlllyer was Interrupted
In a speech he was making to the At
lanta Baptist Ministers-. Conference
Monday morning, In which he charged
that the rules of the house were not
observed In the filibuster on the pro
hibition bill Wednesday.
The Interruption was made by Dr
John D. Jordan, the moderator, who
opined that Dr. Hlllyer was not observ
ing the rules of the conference and,
therefore, he ruled his remarks out of
order.
“The procedure." charged Dr. Hlll
yer, "was directly arid flagrantly
against the rules of the house, and"—
Here the moderator Interrupted, rul.
Ing that the speaker was out of order,
as the conference was then hearing
reports from the churches. The speech
was not concluded.
Dr. Cowan Honored.
Rev. 8. A. Cowan was presented with
a handsome suit case by the confer
ence as a token of love and apprecia
tion. Dr. Cowap, who is the pastor of
the Immanuel Baptist church, and sec
retary of the conference, has accepted
a call to the Southslde Baptist church.
In Montgomery, Ala., and will leave In
about three weekB. Resolutions of es
teem were offered iby Dr. W. W. Lan
drum/ chairman of the committee, and
were adopted by a rising vote. Several
ministers took occasion to pay tribute
to Dr. Cowan, Ills work and his worth.
Rev. C. C. Pugh was elected secretary
of the conference to succeed Dr.
Cowan.
J. T. Dameron, the new pastor of the
Jones Avenue Baptist church, was
elected a member of the conference.
Dr. John D. Jordan, the moderator,
who, because of the fact that he is al
ways Immaculately attired has estab
lished a reputation among the pastors
In the matter of neatness of attire,
surprised and startled the conference
b - walking boldly In Monday morning,
sans collar, sans tie.
. Dr, Jordan’s Collar.
One of the ministers was unkind
enough to call his attention to the
evident negligence of his toilet, and
Dr. Jordan was greatly astonished and
surprised when he found that he had
really forgotten these adjuncts so nec
essary to the toilet.
"Always," explained Dr. Jordan, ris
ing to a question of personal privi
lege, "from the time I went to high
school I made It my policy to complete
my toilet before I went to breakfast. I
wanted It never to be said that at any
time from the time I went to breakfast
until I began to retire that I was not
dressed Well enough to meet any lady.
"I have always made my toilet os
complete as Is possible for the average
r oung minister. This morning before
finished I received an emergency call
to visit a sick member of my chij'ch.
I had forgotten until now that I was
without collar and tie.”
The conference adjourned to meet
again the flrst Monday In September.
Most of the members will leave oi*
their vacations this week. *

would, not hesitate to suspend • any
