Touching on opium, the secretary of the treasury says: "It is of great importance that con gress should give its attention to the opium situation in this conutry. The situation is horrible. The smuggling is very great and is carried on by methods and under circumstances that make the administration of the law most diffi cult, Inadequate and unpleasant.” First Appropriation Bill Is Reported.

DECEMBER 4. 1912. I 've waited for ages, out here in the cold, For a chance to slip in where it’s warm. I’ve peeked through the win dow. and gazed through lhe door — For years I have viewed with alarm. And. now that the table is set. for my feast, And the dinner bell ready to sound. It certainly is painful when some one suggests. ‘ Let's not eat till April comes round !” On crusts ami cold water too long have 1 fed ; Inside I’m rebellious and sad. I'm thin, and I'm hungry—and that isn’t all— I'm supremely disgusted and mad I I fain would sit in where I've long been denied, And delay not the sitting one day; I think I can live, till the Fourth day of March, But till April?

Since the feast is there, should Up and Down Peachtree Will Wouldn’t Squeal on the Gang. Will got out of the stockade today. Quietly and slyly he slipped into Dan Carey's office in the city hall, his eyes downcast. Then, at a familiar greeting from Mr. Carey, he raised his head and his black face brightened with a broad smile. "Ise out. Mr. Carey,” be said. "Have they had you all this time?” Mr. Carey asked. “Yes. sah.” said Will. "I wusn't guilty, but dey underminded me an' sent me out. Dem detectives said I knowed a whole lots. I tole dem If dey knowed 1 knowed it dey coul' jes' go ahead and fin' it out.” Then Will continued a rambling, inco herent discourse of how he was convicted and sent to the stockade, where he only had to do such light work as cooking and pressing clothes. It seemed that he would never reach the end of his story until Mr. Carey asked him if he had any money. "Not a cent." he replied, cutting short his narrative, well satisfied with the cli max. Mr. Carey handed him a dollar. The smile of gratitude he received was full value. "That's a good negro." said Mr. Carey, when Will had gone. "We caught him acting as the agent of a 'blind tiger' out at Grant park, where he worked as a janitor. He got none of the profits from the sale of the liquor, but he went to the stockade before he would tell who was the real ‘blind tiger.'

STATE SUES FOR COSMOPOLITAN CONTROL Revocation of Charter Asked and Contentions of Policy holders Upheld. Declaring tiiat the success of the present stockholders’ suit against the <'osmopolitan Life insurance Company means hopeless insolvency for the or ganization. endangering the position of the policyholders, state insurance au thorities, through Attorney General Felder, went into superior court today with a petition substaptiating the al legations made in the Sudderth suit. 1 'harges of mismanagement, extrava gance and fraudulent organization made by the stockholders were reiterated by the state. The Insurance department brought charges against the company of specific violations of the new insur ance law. it was recited that since August 24 stock salesmen for the Cosmopolitan Company, acting through Joel F. Armi stead, its gem l a! agent, sold 156 shares of stock at S2OO a share and were paid 3, 1-2 per cent, or $75 a share, commis sion. The new insurance ’aw prohibits tlie payment of more than 10 per cent on tlie sale of stock. Calls Organization Illegal. In demanding that the charter of the Cosmopolitan be revoked and the com pany’s affairs be turned over to the in surance department, Attorney General Felder maintains that the company's organization was illegal, inasmuch as the minimum capital required by law lias never been subscribed. Out of 10,000 shares authorized by the charter it is alleged but 4,666 1-2 shares have been subscribed. It Is asserted that stockholders of the company met and elected officers and directors before the stock was le gally subscribed, in violation of the state law. The state contends that the manage ment of the Cosmopolitan has been un businesslike and extravagant, salaries have been too high; too expensive quarters have been maintained, and the company’s surplus dissipated and its capital impaired. Officers of the com pany are accused of borrowing large sums of money to loan on real estate and letting it out at the same rate of interest at which It was borrowed. Insolvency Threatened. According to the state, the stock holders now suing in the case on trial before Judge George L. Bell represent $221,600 of the company’s capital. Should they win their suit, the com pany will tie hopelessly insolvent. Judge Arthur Powell, acting for the stockholders, closed the argument in the suit at 2 o’clock this afternoon and Judge Bell announced that he would take up tile state’s ease tomorrow. It is expected that the state’s suit will hold the boards in Judge Bell’s court for the remainder of the week, as attorneys for the company will make a warm fight on the state’s witnesses.

Next Week—"MADAME SHERRY" Former Atlanta Pastor Stirs Staid London BRITONS RAP LIVE HYMNS All London churcndom, from the Strand to Toadly-in-the-Hole and from Piccadilly to Upson-by-Downside. is stirred to its nethermost depths by Dr. Len G. Broughton's introduction of real American revival songs in the once staid old Christ church Sunday even ing services. It is Revivalist Sankey’s “Jesus is a Rock in a Weary Land" which startled the English out of their usual phleg matic calm, according to London pa pers which reached Atlanta today, and a storm of criticism has been directed at Dr. Broughton, who left Atlanta last spring to become pastor of the largest Baptist church in London. Dr. Broughton was not wont, in the old days, to permit either press or pub lic to tell him what to do and what not to do, and he was an especial believer in stirring up things. It is safe to say that if he could have seen away to use the "turkey trot" with good results he would have used it, whether his deacons iiked it or not. Introduces “Lively” Music. When he reached London and found nothing in the orthodox hymn book but the long meter doxology, and other equallj depressing selections, he promptly told the organist and the choir to learn some music with life in it. And the Sankey song, with its swinging rhythm, its regular eanip meeting spirit and its easily remem bered words, seemed to fill the bill. A London paper says: Dr. Broughton, at Christ church, Westminster Bridge road, on Sun day night, just before his sermon, took occasion to refer to some of his critics, who had, during the past week, been, as he said, lather going for him because of his intro duction in connection with his Sun day evening services at Christ church of some of the popular chorus songs of the Sankey type. Dr. Broughton’s plan is to use one hymn generally for the closing of the service of this character. The rest of the hymns are taken from the usual Church Hymnal. The hymn which brought forth the crit icism was from Sankey's selection. "Jesus is a Rock in a Weary Land.” Receives Criticisms. It is said that rarely, if ever, has there been heard such singing as was heard when the great congre gation filling floor and gallery took up the chorus of this hymn. Dr. Broughton was very much overcome by the occasion, and re marked that it made him feel more at home than anything he had wit nessed since he came to this coun try in April. During the week that followed, he said, he received numerous let ters. some criticising him, and some blessing him. Some of his critics argued that he was upholding mov ing picture shows, and ragtime and vaudevilles. Some called his at tention to the fact that it would be impossible for him to Americanize an English congregation. Dr. .Broughton’s reply on Sunday night to these criticisms' were: "I will leave it to the people of Eng land, of all classes, whether the campaign of Moody and Sankey, when these hymns were sung in every quarter of England, sent people to low-class vaudeville or to the penitent altar. "As for my attempting to Ameri canize an English congregation, I Hoods Sarsaparilla A highly concentrated preparation of Roots, Barks, Herbs Contains not only Sarsaparilla, but those great ALTERATIVES Stillingia and Blue Flag; those great ANTI-BILIOUS and LIVER remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion; those great KIDNEY remedies, Uva Ursi, Juniper Berries and Pipsissewa; those great STOMACH TONICS, Gentian Root and Wild Cherry Bark; and other valuable curative agents,—just those remedies prescribed by best physicians.
