Organ Is the Cause of Divi
sion Among Members of
Church.
By CHARLES E. MARTIN
Cutloden, Oa., Sept. it.—Not alnce
the daya of 1528. when what le now
known as the Missionary Baptist with
drew from the old Primitive church,
has such a division occurred In any
denomination In Georgia as that now
pending among the Primitive Baptists.
Although there was another split In
this denomination several years ago,
yet no-aueh Interest was shown as
being manifested now.
Organ Caused Split.
The present agitation originated sev
eral years ago when Sharon, of the
Echeconnee association, began using
an organ In connection with their
■ong service: another waa aoon after
wards Installed In the Forsyth church.
Elder W. C. Cleveland, one of the
foremost Primitive leaders In Georgia,
was pastor 6f both churches and mod
erator of the association, so during hts
pastorate the disfavor was only mur
mured. but since his death, which oc
curred October 81. 1801, it has been
boldf; apoken aut until It culminated
In several churches sondlng delegates
to these congregations, requesting that
lha organs be eliminated from tnelr
form of worfhlp. claiming that they
wore contrary to tho Bible, and were
only as Idols. . Only a few churches
were represented In this request, and
these, not receiving a favorable reply,
were soon Joined by others In asking
for the removal of the Instruments,
Would Not Glv. Up Organs.
The churches using these lnotru-
menti. however, replied In return that
If It be ahown by the Bible where they
were In the wrong that the organs
would at once be discarded. These
no( being produced, nothing more was
directly done until the seventy-ninth
annual Echeconnee Association, which
contains twenty-four churches, with
more than 1.000 members, was called
to order at Salem, in Crawford-coun
ty, September IS, 14. 16 last. Here
representatives from Sharon, Forsyth,
Bethlehem, Bamah. GrlUln and Mount
Calvary were refused seats of order
and non-fellowship was uncondition
ally declared against the members of
these chur/yes, this excluding more
than 850 member, from the organise
tlon.
To Org.niz. New Church.
Delegate, from these and other "Pro
gressive Baptl.t” churches, which
hav. been excluded from other asso
ciations of,the state, will gather at
Sharon, near Culloden. Friday, Saturday
and Sunday of this week for the pur
pose of organising In an Independent
association.
Elder W. W. Childs, prominently
known all over Georgia as on. of the
leading ministers In the Primitive
ranks, will most probably be made
champion of the new regime.

Play ground at Fair Street 8chool. Attendance averaged 101 daily during summer.
T
HAT the playground movement
Inaugurated during the past
summer, for the school children
was a complete success Is shown by
the report Just made by the committee
In charge of the work to the board of
education.
This committee was Intrusted with
the expenditure of 8500 made by council
for carrying on the work and tho re
port ahowa that the money was well
expended.
Playgrounds were keipt during the
summer at the grounds of Davis Street,
Fair Street, Pryor street and Ira Street
schools, and all were well attended by
the children. Each of the playgrounds
was In charge of a teacher who saw
that the children were looked after
and that their play was of the kind
which would benefit them.
In addition to these playgrounds, an
other waa maintained at Piedmont park
for boys over 18 years of age, /where
there was an enrollment of 107 and a
total attendance of 940.
For the children at the school play
grounds the cost was only 2.83 cents
per child each day, or 24 1-2 cent* per
child for the season.. It Is doubtful If
any other city has Improved upon thl*
record. For a sum less than a quarter a
child was enabled to attend the play
ground all summer.
There was n total enrollment At the
school playgrounds of 1,441 and a total
attendance of 18,845, with a dally aver,
age of 882.
At Piedmont park gymnasium appa
ratus was Installed and tho boya In
structed by C. B. Qullllan. an expert
athlete, who made a- record at Emory
College. Mlsa Daisy Landauer was In
chargo of Fair Street; Miss Ludle Hol
land at Pryor Street, and later at Ira
Street, while Miss Emma Wesley* look
ed after the children at Davis Street.
In addition to the money approprlat
ed by the city, Mrs. Livingston Mims
gave 826 and a swing, while kegs of
modeling clay. Joggling boards, see
saws and blocks were donated by
others.
The report Is made by the committee
In chargo of the work under the board
of education and consists of the follow
ing: L. Z. Ruff, Theodore Toepel, W.
R. Tlchenor, V. H. Krlegshaber and J. C.
Logon, secretary of the Associated
Charities. ■■■
Experience In other cities has shown
that Interest In (base playgrounds
grows and this was demonstrated In
the cose of the Fair Street playground
In Atlanta, where last year the attend
ance averaged only 80 per day and thli
year averaged 101 per day.
FOR NEW POSTOFFICE;
FINE PIECEWORK
Bids For Second Contract to
Be .Opened Octo
ber 30.
FOREIGNERS SEND $60,000
OUT OF HERE ANNUALLY
The first step In the erection of At
lanta’s new mltllon-dollar postofltce
building Is complete.
Thursday at noon Ambroae B. Stan-
nard Company formally turned over to
the government the foundations which
they have Just finished. By Christmas
the second contract will probably have
been let and work on the building prop
er well begun.
Inspector Julius C. Holmes spent a
day In Atlanta looking over the foun
dations and stated that It was as fine
a piece of work as he had evey aeen.
He thinks that despite several hin
drances the Htnnnard Company hai
given complete satisfaction.
Bids for the second contract, which
will Include the rest of the building,
will be opened on October 80. The
Stannard Company and many other
well-known contracting firms will en
ter the competition.
The stone and concrete foundations,
which have Just been completed, rise
about fiva feet above the level of the
ground. They surround a square exca
vation about 196 by 194 feet.
Plans and specifications for the new
postofflce, as ft will be when complete,
are expected to arrive from Washing
ton Thursday. Tentative plans have
already been shown here. It Is un
derstood that there will be few changes.
That all foreigners who cott^e to At
lanta to cam a living do not Invest
their mono}’ here Is shown by tho re
port of tho postofltce for tho fiscal year
recently ended. A'-f-nrillng t,> that re
port, no less than 860,000 was sent out
of (he country by foreign money orders.
Mont of this went to Greece. Italy
and China, and It Is now probably
waiting there for the owner* to come
later on and spend the balance of their
days In native luxury.
It Is said that the Greeka send off
more money from Atlanta than any
other clasa of foreigners, with the Chi
namen second. A few days ago a Greek
fn the restaurant business In Atlanta
bought money orders at the Atlanta
postofllco aggregating 88.000. On Wed
nesday a Chinaman bought 8760 worth
of the orders for Shanghai, and It la
doubtful If any of this money comes
back.

J. 7. HARAHAN IS PARR07
FOR HARRIMAN, SA \S FISH
New York, Sept. 20.—“I have more
money today than at any time during
the poet fifteen years," said Stuyvesant
Flah, who seemed amused at th# open
letter of J. T. Harahan, president of
the Illinois Central, which might give
anyone tho Impression that he Is hard
up. Financiers throughout the country
are Interested in the probability of
amazing developments and the uncov
ering of carefully guarded secrete In
the Flsh-Harriman pool.
"That Harahan la simply the parrot
for Harriman," said Fish today. "I will
not give his litter the dignity of a r«-
ply.
"Harriman was a bigger borrower
from the Ullnole Central than I ever
thought of being, yet he tries to bring
gny loan against me aa a fault."
Mr. Stuyvesant Flah, In a short time
found that he could not agree with
Harrlman’s methods In running elec
tions and making plans for the railroad..
To quickly relievo himself Of all obliga
tions to Harriman, Mr. Fish listed his
house and his Income from his father’s
estate for a loan to pay Harriman.
Theso obligations, Mr. Ftah says, have
now all be cleared off. This, It Is ex
pected, was the result of the Insurance
probe.
Wall street heard today that the let
ter of President Harahan attacking
Stuyvesant Fish and replying to hla
letter waa prepared In the office of the
Union Pacific, 120 Broadway, by E. H.
Harriman, A. G. Hackstaff and R. 8.

New York, Sept. 26.—How the Stand
ard Oil Company luughs at the law
was brought out In the hearing In the
eult of the government to dleaolve the
great octopue.
That the trust renders the Hepburn
law, which makes pipe lines common
carrlera. Inoperative by the establish
ment of terminals In places that are
practically wildernesses and from
which no Independent oil producer Is
able to .dispose of his product, was the
startling admission of Calvin B. Payne,
vice president of the National Transit
Company, ono of tho Standard's sub
sidiary companies.
Used to Throttle Rivals.
In otlfer words while complying with
the letter of the law, the .trust haa so
Juggled the operation of the pipe line
that Instead of It being a common car

tools used to throttle the Independents.

REV. B. E. L. TIMMON8.
Rev. B. E. L. Timmons, 61 years old,
one of the most prominent mlnletera In
the North Georgia Methodist confer
ence. died suddenly at hla residence, 21
Baltimore Place, shortly after 12 o’clock
Wednesday night. His death Is be
lieved to have resulted from an attack
New Jersey state line. -At both pla'ces
they connect with private pipe lines
of the Standard Oil Company, which
refuse* to transport oil of Independent
producer*.
All 8t«ndard Oil.
Both Unlonvllle and Center Bridge,
Mr. Payne declared, loomed geograph
ically after the passage of the Hepburn
law In the summer of 1906. The fact
waa also brought out that there had
not been a single barrel of oil trans
ported which did not belong to the
Standard.
"Why,” exclaimed Mr. Payne during
the examination, "we have'never been
asked to take a consignment ot oil for
transportation by an Independent pro
ducer.”
"Of course not,” replied Mr. Kellogg.
‘If they did ship It they could not dis
pose of It. There are no refineries there
or any facilities for storing the oil."
mmons, who wu pastor of the
Western Heights Methodist church on
English avenue, returned from prayer
meeting Wednesday night at about
16:80 o’clock In apparently the best of
health. On arriving nt hla home he
spent perhaps an hour In reading, after
which he retired.
At 13 o'clock Mr*. Timmons was
awakened by the heavy breathing of
her husband. She called to him and
when sho received no response, Mrs.
Timmons became alarmed. She quick
ly made n. light, and nfter calling to one
,f lior »onn, hastened to tho bedside of
her husband. Dr. Timmons was un
conscious and In a few minutes he ex
pired.
Dr. J. D. Cromer, who arrived shortly
after Dr. Timmons’ death, expressed
the opinion that he had been selxed
with a sudden attack of apoplexy or
congestion of the heart, aa there were
no Indications that he had been auf-
