TT1K ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. MAY 7. 1913 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.

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.’ Electioneers With ’Japs Wait Time to Fists in Australia!
