2 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of the Meth-[ odist church: J. M Lone, of the Bap tist church, and 1, G Hames, of the Pesbyterian church, have withdrawn from the committee in charge of the famous tabernacle's 1913 campaign.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 men Is Committee Declares Pastors Are Jealous. The members of the committie •■lai:i. that In taking Illis stand the pa,to■> 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 JI, 000. The plans for the next year's revival call for Jones and probably "Gypsy" Smith to preach for twelve days'. ' ** "* ' '■■■ ■ ■- -I WAGGONER’S WORK IN RAILROAD Y.M.C.A.

Robelo is wanted by the department of justice for violation of the neutrality’ laws, and will be turned over to the civil authorities.

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.'

(Copyright, 1912, by Star Company. All rights reserved. Infringement will be vigorously prosecuted.) 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.'' ,«'Vj{qit.s_ that.

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.

District At torney Whitman, appearing before the grand jury and then in open court. 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.
