Pflegates to the Southern Socio logical Congress to-day declared the ban last night placed on denomina tional attacks at the meeting in the Wesley Memorial Church meant a greater usefulness for the work of the congress. Dr. E. M. Poteat, of Furman Uni versity, Greenville, S. C., had launched into bitter denunciation of Catholics * and Jews when Dr. A. J. McKelway, ^ acting president, interrupted him. The audience cheered. Dr. Poteat ended his speech on “National Steward ship” with a few more sentences. Dr. Poteat was the last speaker, and when he arose lie asked if the audience would rather listen to his Y speech or go home to sleep. The f crowd urged him to proceed. Soon he was discussing the Jews. Scores the Hebrews. “They have failed in their steward ship,” he said. “The Protestants have been making the real progress.” Then he turned to the Catholics, saying: “We must rise up and say that no church with its head abroad shall gain dominion in this country. It must not T>e allowed. “I. don’t see why a red cap on a man’s head adds any sense to his brains ” Dr. McKelway interrupted. “Pardon me, but there can be no discussion along denominational lines,” he said. Audience Cheers McKelway. Dr. Poteat thanked him. The au dience burst into applause. Dr. McKelway said all denomina tions were welcomed in the work of the congress for human welfare, and he interrupted because he feared of fense might be taken at Dr. Poteat’s remarks.

HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN AND THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN By JAME B. NEVIN. A handsome marble monument t H the memory of the late Governor AI - j len r>. t’andler. the “one-eyed plow ! boy of Pigeon Roost,” twice t’hiui Magistrate of Georgia, and thr times a Representative in Congress, is to be unveiled in Gainesville or. June 3, Jefferson Davis’s birthday. The stone will mark the late Gov ernor’s last resting place, and will be paid for by about one hundred of his appointees to office when occu pying the executive chair of the State. The idea was conceived by Pension Commissioner Lindsey, and his appeal to the former office holders under “Uncle Allen” was responded to read ily and gladly. The sum of $300 \ui quickly raised, and with this a modes' and fitting memorial will bo secure** —Just such as the late Governor him self would approve of, no doubt. It will be presented to Mrs. Candler or; the birthday of the great Confederate chieftain, Davis, with simple and en tirely unostentatious ceremony. Governor Candler was one of tho best beloved of the long and distin guished line of Georgia Chief Magis trates. He was a Democrat of the old school, and first came into prom inence by defeating Judge Emory Speer, then an Independent Represen tative in the national Congress. It was during that fierce campaign that he came by the nickname that stuck tc#him ever thereafter—“the one-eyed plow boy of Pigeon Roost!” This appellation was hurled at him in derision, but it acted as a boom erang upon those who launched it. It very greatly endeared him to t':< niasfes of the plain people, with whom he ever was particularly strom in his public life. After serving three terms in Wash ington. Governor Candler v as elected Secretary of State for Georgia and served in that office many years, until called to the Governorship. He was a plain, old-fashioned, outspoken sort of person, rugged in his hone ty and uncompromising in his high ideals. His portrait now adorns the wall of the Governor’s reception room in t! state capitol. This likeness, which is a fine one, shows in every line wln.t manner of man he was. Allen D. Candler was» one of the most picturesque men who ever oc cupied the Governor’s chair in Geor gia. and one of the most genuinely popular. He was the last of Geor gia’s ex-Confederate Executives. If is not generally known in At lanta, although it is a fact, that Dr. William M. Baird once was Speaker of the House of Representatives in the New Jersey Legislature and served one term in the early 70s with credit aad distinction. He was affiliated with the Democratic side. The doctor soon threw up politics, however, and took to medicine, which he found more interesting and suited to his tastes. He has lived in At lanta about 12 years. Representative-elect Charles A. Pic- quet, of Richmond County, has rented a home in Decatur for the summer session of the Legislature, and will motor to and from his Legislative duties in Atlatna every day. He will bring his family throusrh I the country from Augusta to Atlanta ! in a big seven-passenger car and pects to entertain considerably whiic | sojourning in and near the capital. Says The Montgomery Monitor. “When a horse falls sick every pass ing man will suggest a fure-eure remedy to the owner. Before Gov. John M. Slaton assumes tho Gov ernmental reins of Georgia he will have advice enough offered to last through the two terms that will prob ably be given him.” The Governor-elect is most cour teous, kindly and considerate—those 1 are reasons why he is so well liked I by everybody—but, while he will li.- ten patiently to much advice, he may be depended upon to accept such as pleases him and reject such as does not. He has a head of his own, all right! The Southern Railway has done the only fair and square thing that is to be done in the matter of comply ing with recently-enacted Georgia laws with reference to the abolition of the old-time general drinking cup used aboard trains, by deciding to furnish hereafter all passengers' with individual sanitary drinking cups, io be thrown away after use. The cups will be collapsible, made of oiled paper, and to be had merely for the asking. All conductors will be supplied at once with a full sup ply of these cups for use on t li - • trains. It is expected that the other roads operating in Georgia will follow the Southern’s lead In this matter. The law, which was perfected by the last Legislature, is very strict in its clauses prohibiting the use of a gen - .. eral drinking cup aboard trains.

This matter has been proposed in the General Assembly more than once, but nothing so far has come of it. This time, however, the proposition is I to be more aggressively urged than it has been heretofore, and there is thought to be a fair chance of the passage of some sort of law bearing on the subject. Heretofore, the attempted passage of child labor laws has more or less interfered with the passage of com pulsory education laws. It Is realized that the latter will become an im mediate and absolute necessity, once satifc'factory child labor laws are un acted, but it will be possible to p ins more satisfactory and more intelli gent compulsory education laws, per haps, after the child labor laws are franked and approved. As both measures will be acitated in the next Legislature, it looks as if the two propositions may be com bined somewhere along the line, thus increasing the chances of success to both.
