GOVERNOR INVITES
U. S. WAR FLEET TO
CALL AT BRUNSWICK
At the request of the Brunswick
. Board of Trade, the governor today’ ex-
I tended, through the secretary of the
navy and President Taft, an invitation
I to the fleet of United States warships
now in New York harbor, to visit
I Brunswick within the month.
The fleet assembled in New York
I harbor is the largest ever gathered at
I one place, and It is principally because
|of this fact Brunswick wishes the fleet
i to pay a visit to Its harbo r .
The Brunswick harbor is one of the
finest in the world, and many engineers
have pronounced it the best on the At
lantic coast. The Georgia town feels
| that It is abundantly able to aeeommo
' date any fleet that New York can
handle, and it wishes an opportunity to
demonstrate that such is the case.

Atlanta New York Paris
The Richness of the Trimmings You Will
Find Here
It seems that there must be trimmings on everything this fall
such richness of colors and patterns have never been known before.
Paris, of course, started it—and Paris is where we went for
these trimmings.
So there is no difference between what Paris is using and what
you may use.
I hose dull gold effects and silver effects that Paris is ex
claiming over are here—and the Bohemian embroideries, marvel
ous combinations of colors, that Paris borrowed from the East and
is now exploiting at every opportunity, are here.
But it is hardly fair to name these without mentioning also the
others that share the honors of this season of trimmings.
Besides the gold and silver and Bohemian bands, flounces and
allovers—
Here are the crystal bands, fringes and edges-—the crystal
with rhinestone, bands, fringes and edges.
The pearl trimmings that brides will want, the exquisite and
dainty garnitures that look more like jewels than trimmings-—novel
little drops of pearl with rhinestones, and bands and fringes, and the
very, very popular buckles that play an important part in this sea
son’s fashions; they are used as the center for the draping of skirts.
The new jets are here, very prominently here, since black
looms so large among the silks and velvets right now.
The gold and the silver nets are charming as they are used
with the new fashions—just a touch at the yoke of dresses that show
the Robespierre collar and the “dug out” neck.
And the Tunics
A display that truly represents the fashions of the moment, for
Paris has declared them as a mark of elegance and of—complete
ness. There is one after another that you will want for your
own—each with its own charm that seems all but irresistible.
One of notable elegance is of black net bordered with coffee
colored lace and set off with amber iridescents. Another is of black
net with soft old blue beads worked into an elaborate pattern. An
other shows Oriental beads, another a rose pattern filled in with che
nille embroidery and silver. Then there are those of cream with
gold, of pink and light blue and amber, with pearls and crystals and
glistening rhinestones.
T'he tunics are worth seeing—and we will be glad to have you
take these days as show days.
The Bazaar ==and the October Brides
Here in the Bazaar are the gifts for her! The things she will
find joy in, tor every piece of silver, crystal, china, every lamp, every
piece of marble here is here because of its own attractiveness,its own
worth - Good taste marks this department—marks it not only in
regard to the more costly art objects but also in regard to the small
est and the least expensive pieces.
So, with the October bride in mind come to the Bazaar, and
look about you at the hundreds of choice gifts.
See the Sheffield Plate that is coming into renewed prominence;
seethe odd china pieces, the little flower baskets, the fruit dishes;
and the platters; visit the crystal room radiant with truest cut glass,
with wine, tea and water services: visit the Oriental room where
there are artistic lamps and shadesand odd wares and odd pieces
that many a bride would be proud to own. Or maybe your choice
will be one of these lately arrived marbles or bronzes that are copies
of some of the real art treasures of the world.
Visit the Bazaar, you who have the October Bride in mind!

MEN AND RELIGION BULLETIN NO. 24
“The Churches In Our Midst”
No Power Can Break the
Union of THE Churches of Christ
in Atlanta
The Association of Evangelical Ministers met Monday.
More than seventy-five ministers and pastors were present.
With only one dissenting vote, the following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, a recently published bulletin of the force in their noble determination to carry out

Second, That our chief concern in the present great work achieved, and in the great work still
situation in Atlanta is to conserve the results to be achieved in Atlanta through this move-
of good to our city which have come through the ment, and herewith pledge to them all the in
suppression of “The Houses in Our Midst" and fluence we can command for their plans and
to sustain Chief James L. Beavers and the police policies for the salvation of the soul of our city.
This Executive Committee disclaims any intention of attacking Mr. Chambers
personally or impugning his motives.
He is entitled to his convictions.
Neither the Churches, nor their Committee, desire to dictate to him.
Mr. Chambers has misunderstood.
This Committee's views of handling the Social Evil are not involved, though
we can not believe that Mr. Chambers would approve of city officials protecting the
buying and selling of girls in Atlanta.
The method of dealing with this evil is not open to question.
If the present method be wrong, Council can change it.
But so long as it is embodied in the ordinances of the City of Atlanta, the
Chief of Police and the City Officials have no alternative.
If they keep their oaths, they must do as Chief Beavers has done.
Notwithstanding, they who do so run the risk of losing their office.
A man must choose between honor and danger, on the one hand, and dis
honor and safety on the other.
Chief Beavers has chosen honor.
This Committee, acting for the Churches of Atlanta, for months directed the
blaze of publicity upon these ordinances and the Chief of Police, demanding as citi
zens and in the name of God that he cease violating his oath and do his duty as an
officer and a man.
The State laws are cumbersome and ineffective with their jury systems.
The ordinances are simple and effective.
Protected vice can not exist thirty-six hours in Atlanta with an honest Chief
of Police.
The Chief saw this and rightfully, without consultation with or the knowledge
of this Committee, or any member of it, determined to comply with his conscience,
the law and the wishes of Atlanta’s Churches.
Mr. Chambers understands and shares a principle common to Jew, Christian,
Mohammedan, Bhuddist and Shintoist—that principle which requires a man to sacri
fice even life itself in protecting one who has imperilled himself at the man's request,
This Committee, Mr. Chambers and the City of Atlanta recognize that Chief
Beavers has done this at the request of “The Churches in Our Midst.’’
They further know that the Chief is perfectly safe so long as each candidate
for office is asked to answer publicly the question, “Will you, if elected to office,
protect and uphold Chief Beavers in enforcing the Ordinances of the City of Atlanta
in obedience to his oath of Office?’’
If the question be foolish. Mr. Chambers should bear with those who ask it and
answer it with a “Yes” or “No.’’
For many respectable men feel that they can not honorably vote in the coming
primary for either candidate who declines to answer the question with the one word
“YES.’’
Mr. Chambers will also agree with this Committee that if in Atlanta “De
cency means that a candidate for office can not openly approve the action of an of
ficer who, in compliance with the request of our Churches, keeps his oath and puts
an end to the illegal protection by city officials of a traffic which can exist only by
the betrayal and debauchery of women and girls, many men can not support
“decency.”
We, therefore, respectfully ask that Mr. Chambers answer the question of the
Churches in our Midst.
Atlanta should and will support true decency and none other.
To save personalities, the Committee states, in view of the mention in the
newspapers of the possibility of an independent candidate, that under no circum
stances would a member of this Committee be a candidate for the position.
Nor do we believe that the necessity for an independent candidate will arise.
We are not in politics.
Again, we ask, neither in a spirit of dictation nor with a desire to annoy, “Will
Mr. Chambers, if elected, protect and uphold Chief Beavers in enforcing the Ordi
nances of the City of Atlanta in obedience to his oath of office?’ '
More than seventy-five ministers of Atlanta desire to know.

of the Men and Religion Forward Movement
