BOW UH JONES
TABERNACLE 15
GROWING
Cartersville Is Stirred to Its
Heart by Great Religious
Controversy.
CARTERSVILLE, GA Aug. 16
XVhat appeared to have noon a healing
of the breach in Cartersville religious
circles, when the Sant P Jones taber
nacle was "rebaptized" to the cause of
evangelism at the monster meeting last
Sunday, has since developed into a
Widening of the chasm. This com
munity today Is stirred to Its heart by
the religious c mtroversy which has
followed the action of the Sam Jones
tabernacle committee In Inviting Rev.
Bob Jones back 10 hold annual revivals |
here year hi yea:.
Revs W T Hunnlcut, of the Meth-[
odist church: J. M Lone, of the Bap
tist church, and 1, G Hames, of the
Pesbyterian church, have withdrawn
from the committee in charge of the
famous tabernacle's 1913 campaign.
They charge that the committee of lay
men was Illegally elected on a cut and
drier] program and that this committee
.has exceeded its authority in assuming
to name Jones as the tabernacle re
vivalist In the future or in assuming to
control the operation of the tabernacle
property’—the deed of which rests in
the hands •-f trustees appointed several
years ago by the various churches of
Cartersville
Moreover, Rev Mr Hunnlcut de
clares that Jones "steam-rollered" him
w hile he was here at the revivals which
closed Sunday.
Dissension Threatens
To Split Churches.
The dissension threatens to extend
Into the churches themselves, but the
three dissenting pastors remain ada
mant in their determination not to
consent tn Jones' return here under the
appointment of the present committee.
They have announced that in their pul
pits next Sunday they will air the
whole controversy before their congre
gations They have resolved among
themselves that the tabernacle < om
mlttee behind Jones is not an author
ized body and is usurping the func
tions of the churches All of them are
agreed that Cartersville does not need
revivals such as the one just closed,
though they are willing to countenance
evangelistic meetings in the tabernacle
next year, p: wided the churches are
allowed to exercize authority in the
choice of .1 eommitt’e and arrange

Committee Declares

are following the wishes of a very- lim
ited few . that the great mass "f the
• people are demanding that the meet
ings be continued each year, and that j
they demand Bob Jones as their re
vivalist. They declare furthermore
that the three ministers are jealous
because they were not matte head and
front of the movement when it started
They declare that the ministers are
also opposed to Jones. The committee
declares that it has no intention of
taking the matter out of the hands of
the church-appointed trustees, but has
simply Invited Jones because ho was
the choice of the congregations at the
recent Tabernacle meetings They have
already’ received 400 signatures to a
subscription list to defrav the expenses
of the next year's .meeting and the
sum subscribed is said to approximate

The plans for the next year's revival
call for Jones and probably "Gypsy"

MEXICAN REBELS
DESERT JUAREZ
EL PASO. TEXAS. Aug 16.—Jaurez
litis been evacuated by the Mexican reb
els Instead of coming to the American
side, as had been < xpected, the rebels
turned back into the interior of Mexi
co, going right Into the jaws of the
federal army.
Throughout today they were busy en
training over the Mexican Central, in
the direction of Chihuahua. The reb
els declare Sonora is the objective
point.
U. S. Arrests Rebel Chief,
General Stoever has arrested Colonel
Robelo, of the rebel army. In El Paso.
Robelo is wanted by the department of
justice for violation of the neutrality’
laws, and will be turned over to the
civil authorities. General Steever
learned Robelo was in El Paso when
the latter telephoned to him and an
nounced that Orozco was about to leave
Juarez, and wanted General Steever to
aid in keeping the lawless element from
crossing the river and looting Jaurez.
After his talk wttli Robelo, General
Steever moved quickly and captured the
rebel chief before he could leave El
Paso. An American guard will be post
ed at the entrance to the international
bridge, and no one w ill be permitted to
cross unless vouched for by the Mexi
can consul.
Senators Expect
Taft to Intervene
W VSHIXGTON. Aug 16—That
President Taft, following the adjourn- |
ment of congress, w ill send American |
troops across the Mexican border and
put an end to the disturbances which
have kept the border states in turmoil
for some time was the opinion ex
pressed by several Democratic sena
tors after they called at tile white
house today. It was pointed out that
once congress has adjourned the presi
dent will h ive the right to intervene on
his own initiative, and it is certain that
such a move would enhance his chances
for re-election. The outrages of the
last few days would apparently justify
American intervention, and tl'e rebels,
who now are massed in great numbers.'

UNPARDONABLE SIN TO SQUEAL
IN OPEN, SAYS GAMBLER ROSE
By JACK ROSE.

The dangerous man to a gambling
house is the man who comes in, gets
lucky, wins what h? wants, cashes in
and departs. He may go somewhere
else and lose what he won from us.
Everybody connected with a house,
from the doorman up to the principal
ow ner, is trained in one important point
—he must try’ to keep the winners play
ing. The loser is sure to come back to
look for evens.
Many are the methods employed in
keeping an usually large winner at
play. I was present one night at a
place w here a young man was brought
in by one of the "steerers."
He started playing "roulette" and his
luck was phenomenal.
It seem, d as if everywhere he placed
his chips that number was sure to come
up. His winnings soon amounted to
about four or five thousand dollars.
The colored attendant was right at
his elbow, and each time the player be
gan to figure up his winnings the at
tendant attracted his attention by of
fering him a fresh glass of wine.
The dealer would spin the ball. It
was time for him to get his chips down
before the ball dropped. This was kept
up until soon his run of luck was over.
In a short time he was broke.
In conversation after the play with
another player, the attention of this
man was called to the fact that he was
at one time between four and five thou
sand dollars winner. He refused to be
lieve it. When his attention was called
to tlie fact that he had 35 brown
checks, each representing SIOO, besides
other checks of lesser value, he col
lapsed.
Loses $7,000 While Awaiting Taxi.
Another night a man from the West
(dropped Into a faro bank and began
playing. Before long, by cashing in
j each deal, he had about $7,000 in his
pocket and S2OO worth of checks in
I front of him that he was trying to lose
and quit.
But he couldn't lose them. Soon that
I S2OO worth of chips had grown into
$2,000.
it was then about 4 a. m. He called
the attendant and said: "Get me a
' taxi." The attendant boyved and left
apparently to order his taxi. The play-.
1 er kept on playing, waiting for the
i taxi. About an hour elapsed w hen his
I run of luck changed. He had lost the
1 $2,000 h<- had in cheeks, had bought an
other SI,OOO and that was almost gone.
He turned and siild to the.attendant:
"How about that taxi?”
“Coming, Sir,” replied the well trained
boy.
In the meanwhile he had another
drink, a fresh perfecto, another deal
and another SI,OOO worth of checks
went very fast. ■
Another turn to the attendant: "How
about tny taxi?”
Just telephoned again, sir. It is a
snowy night, arid taxis are all at work."
“Another drink, sir?" A fresh cigar,
another stack of checks at* SI,OOO a
stack, and so it went. He'finally was
so dazed by tht> exditerrient of- the high
play and 'the wine and the big black
cigar that he forgot about his taxi.
Pile Gene. Taxi Arrives.
When he had purchased a new stack
it was at SSOO a stack.
This showed to the proprietors that
this was the end of his money. After
making a few bets with the last stack
and losing them, the attendant walked
over and very respectfully said.
“Sir. your taxi has arrived and it's
waiting' for you.”
He was a good, game sport. He
turned around, and in the drawl of a
man under the influence of liquor, said:
“Are you sure it is mine?”
J am thinking of the man who last
winter went intoji club uptown where
they were playing stud poker. He had
been having a long run of bad luck,
and was very low in cash and spirits.
He sat around with a few others who
were in the same position he was.
They kept talking of the good old days
of racing and of money a-plenty.
The latest arrival spoke of it being
about Christmas time. For the first
time in many years, he said, his folks
' at home wouldn’t be the recipients of
any gifts at his hands.
A more optimistic member of the
party said:
"Why. Lou, Christmas is almost a
week off. and you and I have seen
many strange things' happen to a gam
bler in a week.”
“Yes, I-know,'’-said Lou "When rac
ing was good a man had a chance. This
time of yefir 1 ufeed to be down at New-
Orleans and was always sure to have
plenty’ of money.”
Soon ope of the poker players at the
table got up. In cashing in his chips he
looked abound and saw Lou He told
the dealer to give him cash for all his
chips but $25.
He called Lou over—he knew- him as
. an expert stud poker player—and said.
Won, Then Lost All.
"Lou. play these checks. See if you
can win yourself a. little Christmas
money. If you win just leave my' $25;
here for me arid keep the yf inningK" . <
Lou sat in and played the game until
the following night about 8 o'clock: •
When it broke up Lou cashed in’five
hundred and some odd dollars, leaving
the $25 for his benefactor.
He was the happiest man in all the
world. The Christmas gifts he wor
ried so much about were an assured
thing. ’.
The following -night, he returned to
the place, after having left $250 with a
trusted friend-with instructions to keep
that for him until the. following week.
He played and yvqn S3OO or S4OO, ;J 1
Lou went home and added $250 more,
to the plant for the Christmas gifts
for those at home. •
The next nifcht he came again, sat
in the game, and’began to lose. Soon
he lost all he had with him. Then he
started to sending messages, begging his
friend, who was the guardian of his
fund, not to hold him to his promise.
He explained that the game was so
soft that he would surely win: that his
present losses had been brought about
through extraordinary pranks of the
cards, but. as he said:
"Class will, tell, and I’m the class of
that crowd.”
Suicide Erid.
His friend sent him SIOO. That soon
went. Then another note for sioo more,
which went the way of the others. An
other note, and his frirnd sent him t-he
entire balance..
Morning saw Lou leaving the place
penniless. As he was walking up the
street he met an acquaintance, who
said to him:
"Say, Lou,, yvho was the boob’ the
crowd up street have been playing with
and using marked cards?”
Lou didn't answer, but went home.
His body was found in his room, a bul
let through his brain. A note on the
table said:
“A gamblgr'a Ijfe’is apt worthwhile.''

POISON INGANNEO
PEACHES FROM
FORTILEF
Arsenic Solution Used in Late
Spraying Likely to Condemn
Much of Georgia Output.
The discovery by State Pure Food
Inspector Methvin of arsenate of lead,
a deadly poison, in noticeable quanti
ties in peach pie stock and canned
peaches from the Fort Valley district
may lead to the condemnation of the
output of several of the largest can
neries in the state.
While it is the opinion of the state
chemist that the poison lodged in the
peeling of the peaches ae a result of
late spray ing is not of sufficient amount
tp cause violent poisoning, he said to
day that continual eating of the tinc
tured canned product might have a
cumulative effect more or less serloun.
Inspector Methvin said he had not
decided upon a definite course of ac
tion. but would hold up quantities of
canned fruit In the peach district until
he could make a complete Investiga
tion. It was impossible, he said, to
grade the fruit until it had been canned
and for this reason a general condem
nation would be unfair to many can
neries.
Late spraying for worms and brown
rot, he asserted, w as the reason for the
arsenate of lead. Peaches canned as
pie filler are put up with the skins on
a.tpi.the poison lodges in the peeling.
•Lee Worsham, state entomologist,
Faid today that peach trees,should not
be sprayed with arsenic solution less
Jhan 6il days before the ripening pe
riod. but the appearance of worms In
the Georgia orchards this year caused
many growers to spray their trees a
second time and much later than usual.
In the cans of pie stock examined by
the state chemists, showing definite
trace of arsenic, the fruit had discol
ored. In many instances the peaches
had taken a dark purple tinge.

Something About “Squealing."
That is not the way of the “high
’class gambler.” His way’ of squealing
has more "finesse” to it. He enjoys the 1
friendship of some one who is taking
care of his place. To this man he has '/
.proved that he is a man who in stormy
times like the present will stand the i
."acid test" and prove he is no “squeal- ’
er." I.
The hundred and one times that he
has "squealed" about opposition places
does not count. What he told was not
in the form of a “squeal." It was just
to have his friend know what was go
ing on around him.
The opposition place that has been
“squeaeld" on does not enjoy the Inti
mate acquaintance or friendship of so
big a man as the other fellow, so ne,
poor fellow, has got to do his “squeal
ing" in the crude way of the Houston
street gambler. He must write anony
mously’ to everybody in authority, either
as a "Public Spirited Citizen" or the
"Heartbroken Mother and Wife," whose
son or husband is losing all his wages
in So-and-So’s gambling house.
If Uncle Sam knew the exact figures
as to how the postoffice Is enriched an
nually by these letters, he would insist
'hat all “squealing" be done entirely
through the mails.
These are a few of the ways; there
are others more drastic, but to
"squeal" as Jack Rose did, with only’
the fact that he was being made the ..J
"goat,” with the electric chair staring
him in the face, he has committed the |
unpardonable sin of “squealing" in the 1
open.
