Diogenes Nearly Settles Japanese Question!
Some Perceive Such Step in At
tempt to Move Experiment
Station From Griffin.
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.
Some* see In the proposed closing
of the poultry department at the
Ex peri ment Station h step in the di
rection of removing tne entire Agri
cultural Experiment Station from
Griffin to Athena.
There is considerable complaint
manifested that the poultry depart
ment at the Experiment Station
ehould be closed. It is not a highly
spectafular department of the StaJ*
to be sure, but it has been ritual
helpful and beneficial to a large nut^'
ber of people. And these people feel
aggrieved that it should have been
*et asid** for slaughter, when there
are other things that might he spar
ed, and with less loss to the State.
The point that is Interesting in a
statewide way. however, la whether
the Agricultural Station shall he
moved from Griffin, 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 take the
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 i.« not going to se*> the Ex
periment Station moved to Athens,
if vehement and indignant opposition
can prevent it. And iti this situa
tion. it may be accepted as a sure
thing right now, u large and Influen
tial section of the incoming Legisla
ture will sympathize w*th Griffin. <>ne
can hear it talked in the hotel lob
bies around Atlanta,
Coupled with it. moreover, one
hears much more or less unpleasant
talk of too much politics, of one sort
and another, along with the general
comment. The disposition is to
think that the Experiment Station is
a thing that should be kept free of
ail suspicion of politics—and the de
velopment of the removal question
likely will bring about the kb king off
of more than one lid in the next
General Assembly.
At least, that Is the line of talk
one hears from the lips of not a few
statesman, who pass through the
capital nowadays.
The Georgia Prison Commission,
after having occupied for years about
the dingiest quarters in the State
capital, is about to move into about
th«* airiest and neatest.
Col. Pierce Latimer. Keeper of Pub
lic Buildings, has been hard at work
with painters, plasterers, and decora
tors, for many days on these room*,
and he ha* worked a wonderful
transformation in them. From being
the most uninviting he has made
them al! that an official could aSk.
Under Mr. l^atimer’s direction the
capital has been redecorated and
otherwise improved handsomely with
in the last few months.
Who is to he speaker pro tern of
the next House of Representatives

Thus far, there seem to be no
announced candidates for this goner-

meeting of the Legislature is only

p! Adams, of Hall, has been ment ion-
ed for this honor, as has been Che-

Hi

The rule of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, South, regarding theater
going and other forms of amusement,
is not a dead letter in Atlanta, ac
cording to Rev. c. V’. Weathers, pas
tor of the East Atlanta Methodist
< hurrh, who, during the last six years,
has been pastor of three Atlanta
Methodist Churches.
The denial was occasioned by the
statement of Eastern pastors that
the ban was a dead letter in most
churches.
“it is true that in some circle's
in the South the rule is not fctrletiv
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. Nor - i,
but our College of Bishops, at a re
cent meeting in Baltimore, decla^J
the ban on theaters and forms of like
amusement to be as rigid as in past
years, and there was nd inclination
on their part to declare it lifted.
"For the last six years I have be* a
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 ru]e. The Methodist minlste - s
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 probable
*ould be beneficial, hut the Church
can not discriminate snd it is lef f
to the individual. It is very .seldom,
however, that an\ appreciable num
ber disregard the ban even when the
play is highly moral.’

Stealing Loaf Sugar
to Feed to Horses.

how many tons of loaf sugar are stolen
each year from restaurants and
hotels to be fed to horses." said the
manager of a lunch room yesterday.
"We used to let customers help
themselves from bowls each of which
held several pounds, but we found
that all our cofTee profit and more was
stolen. Men would fill pockets and
women handbags and give it lump by

women carry sugar from home to
give it to horses, hut more steal it
from hotels and restaurants."

“Instead of sticking the stamp bv
a corner. «o that I have to take a

the edges are gummed and the little
