Some Perceive Such Step in At

Station From Griffin.
BY JAMES B NEVIN
•Some sf»e in the proposed closing
of thi* poultry' department at the
Kxperiment Station a step in the di
lution of removing me entire Agri-
• ultural Rxperimeut Station from
tiffin to Athena
There i» considerable complaint
nanife»led that the poultry depart
ment at th« Experiment Station
ahould be eioaed It is not a highly
n^eetarular department of the State j
to be army but it has been moat
helpful and beneficial to a large num
ber of people. And these people feel
aggrieved that U should have been
*et aside for slaughter, when there
are other things that might be spar
ed avid with less loss to the State.
The point that Is interesting in a
statewide way. however, Is whether
rhe Agricultural Station fchall be
moved from Grlffip. where it was es
tablished in good faith several years
ago. upon conditions cheerfully com
plied with by Griffin.
The suspicion that there already is
a quiet movement on to lake ths
station away from Griffin and locate
it at Athens is one that will not down
in Georgia—and if the movement is
on. It Is foolish to suppose that it
may be carried through without a
mighty protest.
Griffin is not going to see the Ex
periment Station moved to Athens,
if vehement and indignant opposition
tan prevent it. And in this situa
tion, it may be accepted as a sure
thing right now. a large and Influen
tial section of the incoming Legisla
ture will sympathise w»th Griffin. One

bies around Atlanta.
t’oupled with it. moreover. one
hoars much more or less unpleasant
talk of too much politics, of one sort
and another, alon*. with the general
ornment. Th'' disposition Is to
think that the Experiment Station is
a thing that should be kept free of
all suspicion of politics—and the de
velopment of the removal question
likely will bring about the kicking off
of more than one lid in the next
‘Teneral Assembly

statesmen, who pass through the

Anti-Theater Rule Not Dead Let
ter in South as in North,
Declares Pastor.
The rule of the Methodist Episco
pal Church. South, regarding theater-
I going and other forms of .a mijaement,
) is not a dead letter in Atlanta, ao-
| cording to Rev. < V. Weathers, pas
tor of the East Atlanta Methodist
Church, who. during the last six years,
has been pastor of tnree Atlanta
Methodist Churches.
The denial was occasioned by the
statement of Eastern pastors that
the ban was a dead letter in most
churches.
“If is true that in some circles
in the South the rule is not strlctiv
lived up to. but in Atlanta It is far
from a dead letter.” said Dr. Weath
ers. “It is regarded somewhat light
ly in the Methodist Church, North,
but our College of Bishops, at a re
cent meeting in Baltimore, declared
the ban on theaters and forms of like
amusement to be as rigid as in past
years, and there was no inclination
on their part to declare it lifted.
“For the last six years I have been
the pastor of St. James. Asbury and
the East Atlanta Churches, and I have
found no inclination among the con
gregations to disregard this discipli
nary rule. The M thodist ministers
of Atlanta are a unit on the ques
tion.
"There are, of course, some rare
exceptions when the plays are of i
high moral character and probably
would be beneficial, but the Church
can not discriminate and it is left
to the individual. It is very seldom,
however, that any appreciable num
ber disregard the ban even when tho
play is highly moral."

“Instead of sticking the stamp by
a corner, so that I have to take a
daub of mucilage to make that corn

the edges are gummed and the little
spot in the centre does not matter."
