The resolution folio,, -
“Whereas, we realize t;( tie exam

Baptist Missionary Union of Georgia,
throw the whole weight of our in

foreign countries, and toward the
adoption of a sane and modest form
of dress, which will be beautiful, and
at the same time above criticism and
ridicule, which now assail the dress

Atlanta Proves Its Infinite Variety of Weather
PROPHETS BRING CHILL
Just to prove Atlanta's infinite varie
ty and establish her claim to having
more different kinds of weather in a
week than any other city between Ken
nebec and Albuquerque, Professor C.
F. VonHerrmann, proprietor of the lo
cal cave of the winds, set t cd up a dish
right off the ie,- today in honor of Wil
lis L. Moore, chief of tin- national bu
reau, and eighteen forecasters from va
rious states. It was 35 degrees above
zero at breakfast time, the coolest
morning of tlie fall.
“It is tine,” spake tile first forecaster
who came out on tlie veranda for a bit
of fresh air. "Only I didn't bring my
overcoat."
Uncle HI Suggs, the veteran unoffi
cial prophet of Battle Hill, who was
still waiting for a conference with Pro
fessor Moore, snorted in derision.
Uncle Hi Knew It.
"Listen at tiiat,” he remarked.
"Weather prophet caught In the ‘cold

dy's oldest boy went squirrel huntin’
and forgot his gun, but he ain't quite
right in bls head. I seen this cold snap

it yestiddy’.’ Yes, str; when you see
a luiwg rootin’ a dbep wallow in the
fence corner this tltne-a-year. It's time
I to tote in a box full of wood and hev
| your kindlin’ split and ready."
Yesterday's prediction for today was
"fair.” but no reference was made to
the wisdom of putting an extra blanket
on the lad. Most of tlie experts inter
viewed refrained from expressing an
opinion on the cause of the drop in
temperature, except to remark tiiat a
marked diminution of the perpendicular
altitude of the closely confined column
of mercury might easily- be expected
to be manifested in the period between
the autumnal equinox and the Easter
parade. But other forecasters were not I
hesltatnt in expressing their opinions i
as to the cause of the cold.
Change After March.
"The cold wave which spread front
Ohio eastward and culminated in the
white house has turned southward,"
i said the expert from Mississippi. "It
may be expected to chill the atmos
phere in the local postoflice and cus
toms house and pass on. You may
count on marked changes shortly after
March 4."
"After careful study, I am convinced
tiiat the condition Is purely local," said
another, "it made its appearance im
mediately after the return of Janies G.
Woodward, and had its origin in the
epidemic of cold feet in the city hall.”
Asked for a forecast for tomorrow
i and Sunday. tlie experts held an cxecti- i
I tiv,- , unferenc* ami issued tlie following i
j report:

"g I
(O
'' ; ’ ' ?i- :
ey toward altitndinous demonstration
within tlie next 24 hours, this section
reasonably may anticipate an increased
temperature, provided, of course, that
the clouds do not obscure the sun and
the wind stays ill its natural habittit of
Kansas an contiguous territory. The
day will be bright and fair unless it
rains."
Crop Bulletins Urged.
If the weather men succeed in per
suading the agricultural department to
issue Meekly weather bulletins and
forecasts to farmers, the get-rich-quick
speculators who take crop reports and
pull duw n prices won’t find business so
good, according to the experts - who
close their conference today. The fore
casters adopted resolutions urging a
resumption of the weekly -crop bulle
tins. and these will be presented to the
secretary of agriculture by Professor
W illis L. Moore, chief of the bureau.
"It is hoped that he government will
decide to issue these bulletins again."
i said Professor Moore. "If this is done.
| they will be the most complete ever
I handled. Th,- data will be gathered by
l telcgiaph once a week and be correct
right up to tlie day of issuance. The
i farmer will know the exact condition
I of all crops all over the country ."
I As a result of the Atlanta conference,
■ th.- department will be asked to estab
in Washington a separate division
I of agricultural meteorology for the pur
pose of studying weather conditions,
with especial, reference to the effect of
weather on crops-. The bureau is anx
ious to co-operate thoroughly with the

MURDOCK SAYS
(BIM
Vice President Says He Will
Show That Paschal Was
Plotted Against.
Vice President Murdock declared to
day that he would prove beyond a doubt
that the Geoigia railroad officials had
been planning for many months to get
rid of Conductor Paschal and seized
upon the alleged violation of the 16-
hour law as a good ex, - use
He said It*- would prove his aa- -r;i*>n
to the strike arbitrators now conduct
ing hearings to determine the met its of
the big Georgia strike.
Sav Case Is Proved.
That the first friction between <’on
ductor I’asehal and the officials of the
Georgia road was caused by Paschal’s
narrow-mindedness and uncompromis
ing t.osition while acting as union com
mitteeman was the deelatation of Su
perintendent \V. S. Brand yesterday
ift,moon before the arbitration ses
sion. Both Vice Presidents Gregg and
Murdock immediately rose and said
this proved their ' barge of animus.
Yesterday afternoon’.*, session was
on of the liveliest yet held. Superin
tendent Brand’s statement causing an
outburst of oratory that ,dosed the
yieeting and probably completely turn
ed the current of the investigation.
This morning both sides were ready to
investigate Paschal's fitness as a com
mitteeman and his alleged violation m'
the 16-hour law, for which lie w.is dis
charged. will lie relegated to the back
ground. in spite of the efforts of the ar
bitration board to have that the only
point considered.
"If Paschal had never been ;*. com
mitteeman, I don't believe we would
ever have had a -trike on the Georgia
road,” said Hr tnd w hile lie was on the
stand
Biand insisted that Paschal nad been
discharged for violating the 16-hour
law on May 20, but declared that prim
to that time tile conductor had made
himself obnoxious to the officials be
cause of his uncompromising attitudes
while acting as conunitteenian. Tlx*
conductors’ organization had been a-k
--ed to withdraw Paschal because of this.
Biand declared, ami for weeks Paschal
hud camped in his office, harping on va
rious cases and "pestering" both him
and tlie general manager
Labor officials say today that, they
will show that Paschal was merely con
scientiously carrying out his duties as
it union committeeman and giving ills
fellow workers honest and efficient
s rvice.
Temperament Is Diawback.
The testimony of Conductor Shurley
; took up most of the afternoon. au,i it
! was he who testified that Superintend
ent Brand had informed him that Pas
! chai was objectionable as a commit
teeman. Shurley declared that Brand
had suggested that he lay the matter
before the Order of Railway Conduc
tors, but that lie had not done so. be
cause of a desire to avoid friction and
because Brand would not prefer charges
of some kind. Brand said that Pas
chai’s drawbacks were temperament
and inability.
The question of discrimination
against employees was raised during
the testimony of Conductor Hatcher,
who testified that one freight conductor
could not obtain promotion because of
officials’ dislike.
Tile arbitration proceedings will be
continued three days, if they pre not
completed by next Monday, as at that
time Judge William L. Chambers will
be forced to go to Washington to con
fer witlt a number of officials from
Hawaii. The hearing will be resumed
next. Thursday, if not completed by
Saturday night.

as they always have called him most
affectionately, might come back to form
again.
The undertaking seems to have been
too much for him, however—and now
lie is not doing so well, and has lost
heart in away, and is a very ill man,
indeed.
There neve: sat in the governor's
chair of this state a more loyal or lov
able man than Joseph M. Terrell. Long
before he was made governor he was
the state's attorney general, and the
state had in Terrell in that capacity an
official always accommodating and ef
ficient. No governor ever had about
him an official, family—‘through both of
his administrations—that respected him
more or was more genuinely iond of
him. Whatever he did as governor he
did from the best and purest of motives
—one may be very sure of that —and
such political mistakes as he may liav *
made, or as some people may have
thought he made. were, if mistake at
al’, mistakes of the head, and never of
the heart.
A big, brave, lovable, generous-heart
ed man is Joseph Meriwether Terrell—
and there are many, many Georgians
who are longing to h-ar yet that he lias
beaten back disease and once again is
on the way to recovery. His career has
been most distinguished and useful and
Georgia wrfflld rejoice to see him well
and strong once more. He still is far
from being an old man.
State Entomologist Lee Worsham,
who has been making an official tour of
south Georgia, gives it as his opinion
that unless something is done to change
file present status of affairs, sea island
cotton growing is doomed in Georgia,
except on a few islan'?< adjacent to tin
state.
Discussing this matin-, Mr. Worsham
says;
“The coming of the boll weevil sounds
the death knell of sea island cotton
within the next few years, except on
the islands themselves. We may be
able to keep these free of the pest, but
there will be no sea island raised ,at
all in counties like Tattnall and Bul
loch within the next three or fouryeais.
“The lioll weevil is certain to strike
Georgia next year. It is coming this
way at such a rapid rate that its ad
vent before another crop is raised may
be looked for witli certainty. The weevil
is now within 45 miles of tlie Georgia
line. It will take three years additional
for the pest to reach the coast.
“There is nothing that can stop the
inroads of the weevil, and when they
reach the sea island cotton section that
class of staple might, just as well be
abandoned. It takes too long to raise a
sea island cotton crop to save it from
the weevil. The only kind of cotton
that is weevil proof is one that matures
quickly.”
The next legislature will be asked to
take very' seriously in hand the matter
of the boll weevil in Georgia, as all au
thorities now agree that the state can
not hope to be kept free of the pest
much longer.
What the legislature will do about
the matter, however, is—well, highly
problematical, anyway!
“Much depends upon tlie way one
looks at things,” said Congressman
Gordon Lee, who Is an Atlanta visitor
today, "particularly after things have
happened and the looking is in retro
spect.
"There is Mr. Roosevelt, for instance,
safe and snug in the tanks of the 'also
runs;' he says his defeat was brought
about largely because the 'avenues of
publicity were in a large measure
choked.' so far as he was concerned.
"To me that seemed a pretty vicious
backslap at the newspapers—for if the
newspapers ever were kind to anybody
in tlie matter o/ publicity, they have
been exceedingly kind to Mr. Roose
velt.
“On the contrary. I notice Mr. Wilson
quoted as having said ’ecently: 'I find
much that is instructing, uplifting, use
ful and entertaining in the newspapers,
and 1 never fail to read carefully the
editorials, frequently profiting much
thereby.'
Looks to me as if T. R. tnay be a
little so whereas Wilson Is very well
satisfied, with the newspapers. Seems
to me, too. tiiat Wilson's remark should
make him mighty solid with the press. '
Tib Savannah News voices a univer

Mothers-'
No young woman, In the joy ci
coming ipotherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi
cal ordeal she is to undergo. Ths
health of both herself and the coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mother’s Friend
prepares the expectant mother’s sys
tem tor the coming event, and its uss
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con
ditlon, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
| baby, too, is more apt to be perfect and
I strong where the mother has thus
i prepared herself for nature’s supreme
i function. No better advice could be
: given a young expectant mother than
■ that she use Mother’s Friend; it is a
i medicine that has proven its value
I in thousands of
cases. Mother’s 1MI OTT BOFD'S
Friend is sold at
t Vr 0 ";. gsTrieNd
book for expect-
ant mothers which contains much
valuable information, and many sug
gestions of a helpful nature.
