2 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS* SATURDAY. DECEMBER 30, 1911. YEAR IN BUSINESS FAIR; BETTER TOWARD CLOSE WAS REPRESSION. THE STATISTICAL STORY OP 1S11. 1911 and Forecasts Good Trade During Year 1912. WAS AN IRREGULAR PERIOD Some Record Outputs, Despite the Industrial Short Time. Profits Were Cut Down. Bradstrertu, one of.the great mer cantile- reporting companies, has issued its annual analysis of the business his tory of the year. It Is not a "boost/' not a flattering review in which only the good is recorded and the bad glossed over, hut a clear-cut story of the year in trade, it follows: Nineteen hundred and eleven was a period of striking irregularity in trade and industry, but despite evidences of widespread caution and repression, a fair, in some lines a record, business was done. This it is conceded, we- generally at the expense, of profits, which latter, rather than the aggregate volume of business, came In for widespread complaint. It was a year of. generally high commodity prices, broken,’however, by some remark able Extremes of movement in staples, causing especial strain alike upon manu facturing industry and consumption, and eventuating in u lessened volume of busi ness and much idle machinery. It was, furthermore, a year of decided unsettte- meni,.of intense agitation in some finan cial as well as Industrial lines, which for the first time experienced the application of hitherto untried methods of legal reg- ulatlon These, at first viewed with de cided alarm.

With truHt prosecutions hanging lire, the tendency was apparently to fear the worst, while the actual Judicial decisions seemed to bring an almost undue feeling of eheerfld relief. The pressure was not entirety confined to tho slock market, gloomy views then reflected spreading gradually to other lines and sectlons-nf country, but not affecting the booth until low coiton prices made their appearance, gpeculation, whether In stocks or com modities. was closely restricted through out a large part of the past year, hut de spite this, and as Illustrative of tile fact that capital was not entirely prostrated, new Stock flotations were of large vol ume. bonds sold better titan n 1910, short- time obligations were actively bought, and thu close of the year flnds moat stocks higher in price than at the opening.

MANAGER MATTICE TELLS ABOUT GRAND OFFERINGS "If Atlanta theatergoers do not coll this a menu to make the mouth water, then 1 don’t know theatricals," said Manager Arthur Matt Ice. of the Grand opera house, lie was looking over the bookings for the Grand for the after-Christmas season, when theatricals really begin to get un der way and routes take definite shape. "1 don’t think Atlanta ever had better offerings than those the Bhuberts are sending us this year,” he said. "Just glance over this list: "Just after New Year’s ‘The Common .Law,* a dramatisation of /Robert W. Chambers’ great novel, will come for several performances. Then William Kuvcrsham, In ‘The Faun,’ will be seen at the Grand. This was greatly dis cussed last season, for the handsome ac- appeared In the coetume of the ge man-animal of mythology Instead ..»e evening clothes with which he Is most often associated. ‘The Faun' drew an unusual amount of space In the magatines last aaaton."

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From The New York Press. Solomon advertised his wisdom, and yet he had wives. What makes a girl see thru a man is The more work a man would like to do for fun the less of It he would want to do for pay. Georgia Poultry Association Has Received Entries From Greatest Breeders Extant. One week from next Monday the doors of th. Auditorium tvlll swing open for the eighth annual show of the Georgia Poultry association—and they will swing back on the greatest display of high-class birds that has ever been shown in th, South. The prestige and influence of the Georgia Poultry association, Its record for excellent shows and the chance at nearly 22,600 worth of prizes of va rious aorta, has done the work and th, beat breeder, of the South have sent their best bird, to Atlanta. The coming show will not be the largest of th, season numerically. But It will be a stronger showing of high grade poultry than was ever before made In the South, or at least that 1, the Indication now. Many of the classes will be numeri cally stronger than any of the year. The local showing of White Wyan dotte, will be sbven larger than that of Madison .Square Garden, and the local display of the winderful White Indian Runners will be way above the Madison Square Garden figures. Also there will be some New York winners shown In Atlanta. In several of the breeds birds that did Wfll In the national show in New York will be on exhibition In Atlanta. Several Southern breeders went In strung at the big show this year and up the season with a try at the Southern championship. The show committee worked Friday night until nearly midnight, but it has not yet completed the taek of list ing the vast number of Individuals en tered. For that reason no estimate of the number of birds can be made. This much Is certain, however, there are 87 more exhibitors than last year, and 1303 more In entry fees have been received. First Marked Catalogue. The ninclats of tho Georgia Poultry show. In their efforts to make the ex hibits the Madison Square Garden show of the South, have prepared one de cided novelty—a marked catalogue. In the average show—In all. In fact save those of New York, Chicago and Boston—a catalogue Is prepared before the show begins, and I, circulated as soon as the prizes are awarded. If a man wishes to know the winners he has to search the show with the aid of the catalogue, and note the marking on the pens. If he wishes to carry home a record of the show hu must mark his own catalogue, which would be the work of three or four hours. The new catalogue that will bo put out for th? forthcoming show will have every prise-winner marked. And the book, with all the winners marked, will be put out a few hours after the last award Is made. This will tax the speed of a lively printing shop, but It will be done In fine style. And every man or woman who gets the catalogue will be able to take home a complete record of the show. More than that, they will be able to go about the show room and to know the full details of the awards as the bird, arc louked over. Each cat alogue will show the number of every bird, the variety, the owner, his address and tne winners. Will Be Valuable Book. The placing of the awards in the cat alogue will make It a moat valuable book, and one that every man . and woman who goes to the show will bs willing to take home afterward, will also be of great value to those who enter birds In the show. For many a man will take homo a catalogue and afterward use It as a directory In or dering eggs and stock. With the ob ject of making it of the greatest value In thl, direction, an alphabetical list of the entrants will also be published. Another attractive feature that-has been planned for the coming show Is a gathering of the sweepstakes winners at some one point In the hall, so that people who have not enough time to make a careful survey of the field will be able to sec th? cream of the Bhow at some one point. Of course,. It I, possi ble that there will not be space In the hall for this sort of a display, and If thl* proves to be the case all the win nera will be shown In their regular places. Standard Arrangement Used. Tho Georgia Poultry association will do everything possible to display the birds 111 such a,way that every variety Is plainly marked, and that all the birds will be *o placed that they will have a favorable light and enough room for a good display. The birds will be cooped In numerical order, according to the arrangement used In the Standard ot Perfection. The chickens of the Amer ican class will be shown first, the other ports of poultry will follow, and the ducks, geese, turkeys and special will wind It up. That the South s best breeders will be represented almost to a man Is the opinion of the member* of the Georgia Poultrv association. And this opinion Is backed up by a careful listing of the entries. Among the last to come In were those from many breeders of na tional fame. Sam, New Entrants. Another nian was added to the list of those who showed at Madison Square Garden, and who will show In Atlanta, when Charley Dobbs, of Gainesville, named 42 birds. He will show Rhode Island Redr and White Orpingtons. As he .has some of the best birds In the South It Is virtually certain that he will he among the prize winners, A strong addition to the pigeon di vision "as made by the entry of a big showing from the Ideal Pigeon Loft. Tills pigeon plant Is owned by H. E. Bovnton, Dixie's greatest authority on pigeons, and one of the greatest pigeon men in the world. His showing will be one of the strongest ever made any where. • Prize Winner, Here. Some star specimens were added to the White I-eghorn class by tile entry of some birds from the yard, of B. P. Hait. of College Park. Mr. Hart ha* won steadily thl* year, fairly cleaning things up at Nashville Mini Macon. Last year he won at the Atlanta show, and also took away a load of prizes from Knoxville. He will show four cocks, two, hens, four cockerels, two pullet, and three pens.

With the Motion Pictures At th. Nations!. fhe management of the National prom lie, for all next week a series of motion picture program, which will please the most fastidious and critical motion plc- tura devotee. Some of the educational pictures will depict scene, in lands never before entered by the motion picture pho tographer, and the-dramas will foe fin ished and ebsorbing In every detail. The well-known comedy fllma shown by this theater need no dilation, for they have made a name for themselves.

The Hill and Edmonda Comedy Com pany will produce a musical melodrama all next week. The playlet Is called "The Indian Princess." The nature of the play will give the company an oppor tunity to spring some new costumes, a wealth ot which Is carried In the ward robes of the. members. The company headed by Mr. Hill and Miss Edmonda Is too well known to need much Indorse ment, as has been attested by Ihe packed houses which have been greeting them since the engagement began.

A few day, ago a distinguished clergyman, who has been very pro nounced In this sort of criticism, had occasion to write an article that pur ported merely to be a record of facts. An editor, who knew the entire situa tion, said, "If a reporter on any news paper had done this, overlooking most of the facts and perverting the othtws, he would either have lost his position or have been severely reprimanded by his city editor." The incident I, but Illustrative of the wholesale disregard for th# facts of the case which characterizes profes sional religious worker,. There ls no calling or business which Is more edit stantly Ignorant of the feet* concerning Its sphere, than th# pulpit and the trained church worker The newspa pers on the whole have been too polity to press this point. Now It Is being brought Inexorably home by the new methods adopted by the latest forme of national religious organization. . When the "Men and Religion" cam paign, which In turn has but been fol lowing the example of the National Federation of Churches, makes Its final report In April, the entire religious body of North America will doubtless be stirred by the revelation of the im mense area of vital and pertinent fact, of which It haa been entirely Ignorant. Heart searchings nad readjustments In local church work, and denominational and Interdenominational activity, will surely result fro mthese revelations. Incidentally It Is already clear to those upon the Inside of things that the cen sus, or sprvsy method, ha, come to stay as a potent and determining force In religious activity. The churches are btlng driven to tho Journalistic plat form laid down by Charles A. Dana, "See both sides and get all the facts." The 8way of th, C,n,ua. Naturally the government census is first of all responsible for this new order of things. The ascertained fact Is th, foundation of all deductions. As a whole, the people—the churches In cluded—accept proved facts, altho after each census there have been amusing attempts on the part of religious lead ers to explain away any unfavorable showing. Figures concerning decreas ed membership In church and Sunday school, and decreaaed attendance, are vainly juggled In an attempt to make It appear that they mean something else than shows on the surface. Not withstanding this, the facte prevail. Next to the United States census as a factor In bringing about what will doubtless be a permanent method of re ligious work, was the series of scien tific surveys undertaken by the united social, oharl table and philanthropic Is sufficient guarantee of a delightful cm tertalnment.

The performance Is continuous, from noon to 10:30 p. m. friends and admirers of Miss Mayme Cly- bum. the popular soprano, will learn of her return engagement at the Vaudette, which begins on Monday. Miss Clybum is so thoroughly identified with this theater that one can hardly imagine her singing In any other Atlanta house. For the past few months Miss Clybum has been studying in Springfield, Mass., under Mre.

Indian Runners, and Buff Orpington ducks. This last- named breed la one of comparatively receqt origin, but one of great promise. Another strong duck entry has been marie by the Model Poultry Farm, of Colbert, Ga.. owned by J. L. Reinhardt. He ulll show six Indian Runners, as well as seven White Leghorn*. These are only a few of the famoua Southern breeder, who have made en try. but It give* a pretty good line on what may be expected of th, entire show. workers of New York; and reported In their publication, "The Survey.” The famous "Pittsburg Survey," dealing with the Industrial Interests of that city, arouaed groat Interest In rellgloua circles. Sunday school surveys have been frequent, but these are usually In complete and superficial. Now, the "Men and Religion" campaign, which U centering thla winter In »ome 90 cities of North America, has baaed all its work upon, a series of preliminary surveys conducted In each city. These surveys have not figured In the press reports, and their findings have at no time been fully disclosed. Even the cities that have experienced "Men and Religion” campaigns are not fully awake to the significance of the survey data In the hands of the "Men and Re ligion” workers. Yet these survey, are more Important than the speeches delivered. Som, Sensation, Coming. Th, "expert," of the "Men and Reli gion" movement have based their speche, on the showing mad, by the local surveys. Sometime, they hav, made sensational disclosures. Partic ularly striking have been the discov eries alone social and civic lines; such as, the sanitary condition of food fac tories: the employment of child labor and the pernicious moral atmosphere to which some of them were subjected, and the relation between "respectable" property owners and vice. At Houston Texas, Rev. Charles Stelzls, the social service expert, was arrested on th* charge of libel, for the statements he made, but the leaders of the movement cheerfully welcomed this, as they say they had followed their method of not telling all that they knew, and of keep ing well within the ascertained facts. At the "Men and Religion" congress In Washington next April, when the results of this national campaign will be summarized, the conclusions of these surveys will be made public. The find ings will astonish the churches and the public generally. The fact* about the churches and the general religious and social organisations; about the moral condition* of certain classes of people; the neglect of entire section* of the population by religious agen cies, and the facts about boys and about social service will be of a sort to 'get first-page headlines In most of the papers of the country. What They Want to Know, In every city where the "Men and Religion" campaign has gone,' blanks have been Issued, and men set to work to investigate local conditions along right lines. These forms are almost staggering In their encyclopaedic char acter. They probably want to know too much, and are, therefore, incom pletely filled out. The present equip ment of the Protestant churches of North American ls such that the* are not fn a condition to fill out Intelli gently such full and searching ques tions. The very fact that "Don't know" has to be written *0 often on the blank, concerning the most elementary facts about the church’s attendance and field, Is Itself as severe a stricture as any particular finding is likely to be. Tne first blank deals with boy* work and asks 40 questions about the public school* of the city; seven questions about special educational work by re- questlons and many subordinate nut. tlons. What Is called community tension In this Met, and Religion For ward Movement really means »h 0D meetings for men and other sped.; service* held outside of conventional religious environment. There Is a blank for this. The two largest of the survey papers deal with "Social Service: t h . Churches," and "Social Service eral." The first, In 23 questions, wants to know all about each local church the number and character of Its mem.’ bershlp and official boards: the na- ture of Its work and of its constituency and facts concerning Its community which the average congregation prob ably never thought of asking itself Here are a few of the questions: What are the boundaries of what you may* legitimately call your pariah’ Upon what baals do' you claim this territory? How many persons live within this area? How many saloons are there In your parish? What 1* the general character of these saloons’ How often Is your church open? Give actual schedule of meetings for a week with total attendance at each of the<e services, noting how many of the at tendants are men and boys. How much money did you spend last year for the .maJntenance :of all departments of your clturch work, not Including benev oiences and outside work? How do you care for your church poor? The social service survey takes up the area of a city, its character. Industry population (Including nationality, lit- eracy, etc.), the form of municipal ad ministration; the social Influences, number of churches, lodge*, musical organizations, etc. Under Industrial life a mass of facts are expected as in the nature of the Industry, the number and character Y>f Its employees, the compensation, organized labor, concil iation and arbitration. Under "Com munity Problem#." facts about th* sa loons, dance halls, crimes and arreiu, housing, health and political life are sought. Social service agencies, mu nicipal and private. Including hospitali, care of the aged and of children, and associated charities are covered. The last blank, aside from the summaries. Includes home and foreign missions and what the ohurches are doing for these. Surveying a Whole State. One of the few tangible things which the' National Federation of rhurch*§ has undertaken haa been the survey of a few states with respect to their re ligious condition*. The fact* about the over-churchlng' of certain communltlea and the overlooking of others, have been brought out. These place responsibil ities squarely, and show whlrh denom ination, are the worst offenders In crowding Into neighborhoods where they are not really needed. Such fsets as these are more eloquent than sny oratory. Local organizations have undertaken city aurvey, after the "Men and Re ligion” order. Occasionally this le don* as an Independent enterprise at the In stance of the ministers' meeting. Obviously, th, first step toward the readjustment of all church work Is w find out the facts In the case. If the church expects to retain the respect of thoughtful persona, she must snap' her policy and her method* to conform to the facta.
