BIG HALL NEARLY
READY FOB AUTOS
'ndications Are That Every Ex
hibit Will Be in Place When
Motor Show Opens.
With only two days int vcmiig be
fore the opening of Atlan:
npal automobile show th' Au< toiinin-
Armory is a scene of :i.’tivity which
makes a lively beehive look pic id. and
If there are no interruptions Taft hall
will be ready for the installation of
cars tomorrow, B\ I riday afternoon,
at the latest, the main Auditorium will
be ready, and when it is, the placing
> of exhibits will take but a short time.
There will be a few confused hours
while cars are being rolled by hand
(they are not allowed to have gasoline
in their tanks when they enter the
Show room) up the long runway and
iljto the building, a few more hurried
hours while they an being played in
the bast positions, and then tin re wil'.
be nothing to do but wait for the
formal opening of the show.
The progress made with the decora
tions in the short time allotted is most
amazing, and there is small doubt but
that they will be completed in time.
As for the illuminations—there isn't
an narthly chance but that they will be
going full blast when Saturday tnorn-
Irig arrives. The local gas company is
under a contract which will require it
to forfeit 150 an hour after 10 o’clock
Saturday morning. And it doesn't in
tend to pay any forfeits.
Decorations in Place.
A good three-quarters of the de ora
tions of the main Auditorium are in
place. The landscape panel, the sun
bursts at the top, and the side panels
are nearly all in position. Just at
present the Shepard forces ate at work
on the task of darkening all windows
Not a ray of artificial light will enter
the building front tomorrow until Ihe
end of the gas show In December, be
‘ cause such light would lessen the ef
fw ’tiveness of the decorations and the
illumination.
;The work of placing the side panels
in place proved a tremendous one.
These panels weigh over 40<) pounds
each, and the task of putting them in
pb sltion was stupendous The wings of
the stage have been cleared away, and
wjien the work of decoration Is com
pleted the visitors at the show will
find the main Auditorium a transform
ed place. Not an inch ot the real
Auditorium will lie in sight. Every
thing will be covered with auto show
decorations. The main display room
will be oiu' unbroke n .unobstructed
space, surrounded by pink and white
paneling, decorated panels, and pink
and white sunbursts, in which the au
tomobiles can be shown to the best ad
vantage. Pink and white were chosen'
as the colors at the request of the gas
show promoters. Dark colors were
suggested, but. owing to the fact that
dark colors absorb light, it was de
cided that only light colors should he
uaed, in order to ge.t the full value of
the hundred thousand or mor, candle
power of light which will be turned
loose as long as the show is in prog
ress.

COUNCIL REJECTS
VICE COMMISSION
MACON, GA.. Nov 13.—After a splr.
ited discussion over the jietition of the
Protestant churches of Macon for a
vice commission and the tentative ap
pointment by Mayor Moore of that
body, the city council last night, by a
vote of 8 to 3, rejected the proposi
tion.
Th" majority of the aidermen took
the position that the council did not
need the assistance of the ministers
and the church laymen in the regula
tion of city affairs, particularly in the
vice district.
A committee from the ministers un
ion appeared before council and ear
nestly urged that the mayor’s fifteen
appointees be confirmed. These com
missioners were selected by the minis
ters and appointed by the mayor, sub
ject to council’s confirmation.
The refusal of council to co-operate
with the ministers and churches in the
effort to abolish, or at least stringent
ly regulate, the restricted district will,
it was openly stated, make the matter
one of polites and an issue in the forth
coming municipal election.
Effort was made by some of the ai
dermen to declare an executive session

Eckman’s Alterative
Highly Praised
A Valuable Remedy for Throat and Lungs
It is folly to believe that Consumption
differs from every other disease in not re
quiring the use of any medicine for its
treatment. For a number of years an
enormous mass of voluntary and thankful
testimonials from persons who consider
that they owe their lives to Eckman’s Al
terative, a medicine for Tuberculosis, has
been accumulating. Surely plenty of time
to demonstrate its lasting value. You can
write to any of-them. Here is one:
5323 Girard Ave., Phlla.. Pa.
"Gentlemen: In the winter of 1903 I
had an attack of Grippe, followed by
Pneumonia and later by Consumption. I
grew steadily worse. In the winter of
1904 I had cough, night sweats, fever and
raised quantities of awful-looking stuff
and later I had many hemorrhages; at
one time three in three successive days.
Milk and eggs became so distasteful I
could keep nothing down. Three physi
cians treated me. I was ordered to the
mountains, but did not go. Eckman's
Alterative was recommended by a friend.
After taking a small quantity I had the
first quiet night's sleep for weeks. My
Improvement was marked from the first.
I gained strength and weight and appe
tite. I never had another hemorrhage
and my cough gradually lessened until en
tirely gone. I am perfectly well. Every
thing I say here can be verified by my
family and friends.”
(Sworn affidavit; ANNIE F. LOUGHRAN
Eckman’s Alterative Is effective In
Bronchitis, Asthma, Hay Fever; Throat
and Lung Troubles, and in upbuilding the
system. Does not contain poisons, opi
ates or habit-forming drugs. For sale by
all Jacobs' Drug stoies and other leading
druggists. Ask for booklet telling of re
coveries, and write to Eckman Labora
tory. Philadelphia, Pa., for additional
evidence. (Advt.)
The daily use of Try-New-Llfe is a
wonderful remedy for weak, tired and
worn-out nerves; it invigorates and
Increases the vitality of the entire body;
the whole system responds immediately
to the vitalizing, invigorating effects of
the increased blood circulation, the
foundation upon which perfect health
and bodily strength are built for with
perfect circulation of the blood disease
can not exist, and it is upon this prin
ciple that Try-New-Llfe is designed and
operated.
The leading physicians of New York
and other great medical centers, In ad
dition to the most celebrated sanita
riums and hospitals ip the country,
have recognized the value of this won
derful machine, and are using It ex
tensively in great numbers of cases
which come under their observation,
proving conclusively that Try-New-
Life is not an experiment, or a scientific
dream, but an efficient reality, within
the reach of all, and absolutely the
greatest boon to suffering mankind that
the twentieth century has given us.
The simplicity of "Try-New-Life”
enables even a child to use it without
trouble or inconvenience.
You simply hold the instrument in
one hand, pass it over the part you
wish to treat, and you at once feel the
invigorating, vitalizing, health-giving
effect of increased blood circulation.
A few minutes treatment up and
down the spine every day works won
ders, and will take the place of the
physical exercise which so many of us
neglect, that this portion of the body
so constantly demands.
“Try-New-Llfe” machines are inex
pensive, easy to operate, guaranteed ab
solutely for one year, and sold on easy
payments, in order that every sufferer
who needs one may have it within their
reach.
’lf you have been a long sufferer with
any disorder whatever, accept our in
vitation to call and receive a free treat
ment we will be more than pleased to
see you. (Advt.)

There’s No Place
For The Pharisee
In Our Midst
To the Editor of The Georgian:
My fervent desire in writing of the methods which the “Men and Religion Move
ment adopted to correct certain social evils, which beset all communities in common,
was to stop, by earnest suggestion, the publication of salacious articles, which I con
sidered hurtful to refined standards, and offensive to delicate firesides. ,
In that article I said not one w#rd against the main object said to be in view,
that of moral uplift and social betterment, but confined my argument to the great wrong
that had been done Atlanta, by a thoughtless campaign of indecent publicity, which ad
vertised our great and beloved city as a Sodoma of filth.
In that article I deplored suck publicity, on account of the expressed opinion that
such methods would hurt the material growth of Atlanta, and corrupt, by lascivious sug
gestion, the minds of twenty innocent girls, before reclaiming one fallen woman.
This was a serious, well-considered fear that I felt, as a citizen, and as a home
lover. I would have been untrue to the standards of the home, false to the higher duty
of moral citizenship, derelict in my better service to God, had I suppressed the view,
and withheld its kind and earnest presentation.
I did not desire a controversy.
I had no idea that any man, whose love for Atlanta was such as to cause him to re
sent the imputation that she was steeped in moral filth, and therefore, deserved a special
dispensation, before she could show her fair face in comparative array with other cities,
could or would take issue with the suggestion that I intended to impress.
It was my wish and hope that these men of a doubtful movement, would see their
error, and determine to discontinue the issuance of hurtful bulletins, through which was
being Haunted to friendly rivals in civic growth, the shame of a great city, that deserved
better at the hands of her own children, whom she had made to grow and to prosper.
My surprise was great, therefore, when I received a rude letter from a minister of
the gospel of Christ, condemning me by such false and vulgar innuendo as should form
sufficient ground for his expulsion from the ministry—and for no other reason than I
had committed the unpardonable offense of presenting to the higher thought of Atlanta,
in this twentieth century of enlightened progress, views on propriety at variance with
those held by this pulpit bigot.
I present the letter as written, spelling, punctuation and grammar, with the exception
of one sentence that carries with it a suggestion too vulgar to spread before a decent
public. The reader might overlook the pitiable ignorance of the reverend author, were
it not for his low. brutal intolerance. Read his letter:
“Dear sir: The men and religion movement are offering & care for the poor delud
ed girls. Atlanta is a tough town and you know it Where is the man that has daugh
ters that does not fear for them here if Atlanta wants to escape the penalty that came
to Sodom she had better reform—Do you own some of the houses used for immorality
Are you a white slave trafieer Who are you anyway. * * * * (This sentence was
too vulgar to reproduce.)
Rev. G. D. Stone was the writer of the above beautiful emanation of love and
charity. He is the pastor of Payne Memorial Church. He belongs to the period of the
Inquisition, or to the early days of Puritanism in America—full of that intolerance
which would crucify me before the bar of public opinion, for no other reason than my
mind does not accord with his narrow demand.
While it showed the author to be lacking in correct appreciation of the softer stand
ards of religion and gentility, so essential to the pulpit, a better defined view of the
man would be, to think of him as a harmless harlequin, a kind of merry-andrew of the
pulpit, who needs but the cap-and bells to make the buffoon complete.
Why should I be thus condemned? I had not offended religion, I had not defended
immorality. I had spoken for the pure. My letter was in line with ethical discussion of
a question, the adjustment of which demands the most earnest and forbearing consid
eration of every element of lofty thought.
My confidence in the home-iife of Atlanta was of that high order as to lead me to
opine, there was not one-tenth part of our population that knew, except by report, there
was any such quarter in our city as a segregated district.
When, therefore, a few misguided crusaders began to spread before the old and
young of both sexes, detailed definitions of the location, surroundings and doings of the
underworld, 1 felt that it was timely some pen of righteous indignation be invoked
against the work of ruin, which was hidden in the mad campaigning that thoughtlessly
placed such information within the reach of the young and the pure, and to condemn
the injustice done Atlanta, by an hysterical treatment of common-place conditions, exist
ent in all cities alike.
My letter was a normal treatment of natural conditions, intended to arrest the at
tention of thoughtful men.
The words of approval, by mouth and letter, received from hundreds of the best peo
ple of Atlanta, convinces me that the thinking people of our city commend the course
which I took in behalf of the home-circle, but which I can not continue without co-op
eration from those who feel the same interest in correcting the evil done by fanatical
propagandists, as that which forms the incentive of this and other articles that may be
considered necessary. .
I do not intend to surrender the pen that has been drawn in ethical defense of At
lanta, at the behest oi the Stones of the pulpit. Nor will unchristian criticism swerve
me one hair breadth from the course directed by a mind and heart that live in a superior
atmosphere to that which germinates ignorant and polluted polemics, to feed the licensed
pen of the Pharisee.
As I recall, the “nine and religion movement” made no recommendation as to closing
the segregated district in their vice report to council, and it was denied that Chief Beav
ers was advised by them to issue his order of closing—an order which many of the best
people of Atlanta think was a mistake, on account of the fear that these women, being
compelled to have shelter, would move into resident districts. These are of the opinion
that the wrong end of the stream has been selected for the corrective starting point
emphasizing the theory that were home-training invoked, the fountain would be kept
pure and the stream undefiled; whereas, if the stream is dammed, the backwater will be
sure to inundate, with its accumulated filth, districts of respectability, carrying moral
devastation in its wake. About this phase of the question I did not write. I was will
in that the future decide as to the wisdom or the folly of Chief Beavers’ course.
After the closing order was issued and the heroism of the act dramatically adver
tised. the “men and religion movement” resolv.ed to sustain the chief of police, stating
that reputable homes for a great number of these people, had been offered, and that every
thing was ready to carry the unfortunate from the district of shame, into the moral atmos
phere of unpolluted home-life, at a bound.
Without any feeling than one of kind sympathy for the fallen, who doubtless pos
sess many of the virtues of charity, I thought, and still think, this was a move of moral
hazard.
I felt that the man who would ask his wife to take one of these under the roof
that covers a mother’s honor and a child’s devotion, is a fool—whether a knave.
I felt that the woman who would consent to so horrible a plan of elevation, would
stand before the world a pitiable impersonation of that fanatical acquiescence which
deserved to be protected by a word of caution.
I felt that it would be a horrible, hideous, heinous risk—an advisory step that should
cause men to beware!
I felt that behind the thin veil of such religious obeisance sleeps the demon Jealousy
—which, when aroused, will divest herself of the robe of sweet and loving gentleness;
rudely cast to the winds of despair the fragrance of a mother’s love; and. with a shriek
of horror, dismantle that glowing structure of the home—woman's ’ devoted self-sacri
fice.
1 did not think that ant fireside of Atlanta should be subjected to this awful risk.
In the name of God, 1 did not see how any man could become so swayed by religious
zeal that he would ask the wife of the home to take a venture into paths beset with
such domestic thorns.
I felt that the plan proposed was pregnant with evil—one which no sane man
would adopt or advocate.
Then, too, I felt that a great injustice had been done those merchants and manu
facturers who employ girls as saleswomen and seamstresses as well as the girls themselves,
by advocating better wages, on the basis of a questionable comparison of " conditions in
Atlanta, with the sweat shops and attendant evils, in the congested centers of a distinct
ly different civilization.
For thus defending Atlanta, and for thus inveighing against indelicate discussion
comparisons, to the detriment ot our buiness, working and social common
ity. 1 have been made the victim of vulgar ignorance and malignant intolerance.
So be it. I will not surrender my pen to the maledictions of organized hysteria.
BENJAMIN M. BLACKBURN.
