destroyed, three other structures dam
ped, and Mr. and Mrs. F. J. A. Sum

from their burning home In their night
clothes Just In time to save themselves.
When Mr. and Mrs. Summers, who
resided at "42. South Pryor, awoke the
root was falling In on them. Leaping
from bed, the terrified couple rushed
throuch thick volumes of smoke and
flame and escared safely to the street;
but' without saving any of their ef.
fects. They did not Have time to
•else their clothing.
The fire started In Brantley’s drug
store at 714 South Pryor street, The
fumes spread rapidly and It was but
a fesf moments until the drug store,
the Summers residence, and thsTneat
market of T. M. Summers, S Ridge
avenue, were a moss, of flames. 1 ’: It
items ttfere was'no one passing along
the streets at the tjrae, and tho fire Jiad
gained great headway before an alarm

These three places were a total loss.
CHRISTMAS IN THE SOUTH
A CRIMINAL SEASON, SAYS
DR. WHITE IN HIS SERMON
’’Christmas In the South is a traves
ty,” said Dr. John E.. White, In .hi,?
sermon at the Second Baptist'chnroir
Sunday night And In an eloquent ad
dress he compared the reign of disorder
which Atlanta and the South associate
with the birthday of Christ. He dwelt
upon the danger which the period
brings, and called attention to the
peril of tho open saloon, saying that
council should throw such restrictions
around the sale of liquor as would
guard the city frem further disorder.
His sermon was a powerful arraign
ment of tho celebration of Christmas
In the South, and -he was heard with
Interest by a large congregation. The
sermon follows;
“The first attempt to spoil Christ
mas was made by Herod. ■When ye
have found Him,’ he said, ’bring me
word so that I may corns and worship
Him also.’ Thus with murderous mal
ice In his heart nnd these honeyed
words on his lips, this'monster of his
tory conspired to wreck the Joy of the
world. Mankind has Judged Herod,
The Infamy of his plot to destroy the
Babe of Bethlehem appears In all Its
hideousness when wo look upon tho
beautiful scene of the nativity, Its
peace, Its good will, its glory, and con
trast tho villainy with the significance
of the tender life cradled In the man
ger and the meaning of Jesus to the
world, all of which Herod sought to
transform Into sorrow and dismay. In
abhorrence of his unspeakable wicked
ness, I think wo are prepared to realize

CHATTANOOGA
INFAVOR OF
PROPOSED CANAL
tpdaltoTke Georgian.
Chattanooga, Terra- Deo, 16.—The
Chattanooga chamber of commerce Is
doing all lt.can,tp assist the Atlanta
chamber of commerce to get Cbhgress
to take up the proposed appropriation
for a canal to connect the Tennessee
and Warrior rivers at Brunswick, do.
Speaking of tho matter a prominent
Cbattanoogan said:
“Already the chamber of commerce
tn Atlanta has. gotten out pamphlets
tad had them generously distributed In
Washlngto4‘ of 'thd 'redout 'National

tion. The matter of . building a canal
from'a point on the • Tennessee rivet
connecting the streams between there
end Brunswick, Go., Is no ‘Colonel Sel
lars scheme,’ but Is entirely feasible.
This Idea of connecting: one section of
tMe great! country- with - another by

poeed by Albert Gallatin, a native.Ten
nesseean, while a member, of the cabi
net In ISOS,-fully 100 years ago.”

Another Christmas reason Is at hand.
Already the thrill Is tn the air.
Believe os we may about the accura

date, and the objection Protestants may
have to a Romish term, we are all
surrendered to the spell of Chrlstma*.
We are all agreed upon the moral
sublimity of the fact for which Christ
mas stands—that there was a day when
Jesus was born,
■When God came down our souk) to

Christmas‘in the ; 8outh.
’.'The general .tone of Christmas cele

a 'subject of comment. The records of

season Is the criminal seogon of South

for - tho two weeks before and after
December 2B each yean Is 60 per cent
larger than for any other two weeks
of the year. It will not be doubted
that the same status Is maintained In
other Southern sections. The English

what he sees lit our Christmas conduct.
Our nearer neighbors contrast us with
New England tPfthls regard. Even In

tive. ‘do you wish me to be like that?

' Christmas In Atlanta.^!
“If the Atlanta riot hod occurred
December 22, Instead of September 22,
It would not have,been considered such
a serious reflection on our civilization.
We would not have charged It to news
paper Incendiarism so vehemently, nor
W the Decatpp street dives. We' would
have charged' It up to Christmas,
would not have Impressed us as auch
an abnormal event, happening on
Christ’s birthday. It might have been
some relief of Injury to the city for
the riot to have occurred then. We
would probably have so regarded It.
But It Is no consolation to the Chris
tianity of Atlanta that Christmas Is the
season when a riot is a normal event.
Since the dawn of December, the ne
groes' of Atlanta have begun to talk
amonrf themselves In dread of tvhat
might happen at Christmas. Every
body began to think In the same direc
tion. Movement to tighten the civic
grip on things Is already well under
way: It Is the belief of (thousands
that It needs still more ■ tightening.
With hundreds of men, white and black,
out of employment, with one hundred
and: sixty saloons In a naturally des-
porhto devll r may-care mond as to what
happens, with the accustomed, relaxa
tion of public conscience and the good-
humored toleration of personal disorder
on account of the Christmas feeling,
with the powder of race enmity always
dry among the Inflammable fringes of
our population, with all this and this,
w’e do well- to-pause and reflect; ISe
will, every man of us, do well to mako
clear to ouq city, government, that It Is
no time to protect the saloon against
loss If the saloon has not sense
enough to protect Itself and ua against
danger. The chief of police should be
given peremptory authority of law to
close Instantly every bar room .which
sells a drink, or a bottlo of whisky, to a
man In tha slightest degree Intoxlr
rated. Not more than ten men should
be allowed in a saloon at the same
time after December 20.
.’’But tho shame of Christ remains, do
what we may or can, that Christianity
has not done more In Atlanta and the
South to make Christmas a moral pow-
er Instead of a moral peril which
must require redoubled legal force to
keep men sober and from murdering
their fellow-men.
"Some things law and police can not
do. The really big tasks of civilization
are beyond the law. The rescue of
Christ’s birthday is a big task. But
Christianity must define It and -under-
take It. I have been aroused to this
matter by a Vl*lt to a home In this city.
I was sent for. The woman was in a
state of anxiety.
"•Oh, Doctor,’ she said, 'If we can
Just get my husband by Christmas I
mve hope.’ And the words rang and
clung. ’Just get him by Christmas,
Just get him by ChrUfs birthday. What
a horrible fact that Christ a birth
day should be to any human being a
day of dread and danger!
’But it is. We are conscious that it
