6 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.

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 ASTHMA INSTANTLY RELIEVED BY WONDERFUL MACHINE BEING DEMON" STRATED BY THE J. M. HIGH CO.

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.

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.) SDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1912. 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.
