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 an hear it talked in the hotel lob 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 \t least, that is the line of talk one hears from the lips of not a few statesmen, who pass through the a pita 1 nowaday-.

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."
