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
Kxperiment Station a step in the dl-
tection of removing tne entire Agri
cultural Experiment Station from
Griffin to Athens.
There is considerable complaint
manifested that the poultry depart
ment at the Experiment Station
should be closed. it is not a highly
spectacular department of the State
to be sure, but it has been moat
helpful and beneficial to a large num
ber of people. And these peopls feel
aggrieved that, it should have been
net aside for slaughter, when there
are other things that might be spar
ed. and with leas lose to the State.
The point that is interesting in a
statewide way. however, is whether
the Agricultural Station shall be
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 1s one that will not down
in Georgia—and if the movement i*
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
can prevent it. And in this situa
tion. it may be accepted as a sure
ihing right now. a large and influen
tial section of the incoming Legisla
ture will sympathixe with Griffin. One
an hear it talked in the hotel lob
bies around Atlanta.
f’oupled with It moreover. one
hears much more or less unpleasant
talk of too much politics, of one sort
md 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 kicking off
or 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
statesmen, who pass through the
apital nowadays.
The Georgia Prison Commission,
after having occupied for years about
the dingiest quarters in the State
capital, is about to move into about
the airiest and neatest.
Col. Pierce l^atimer. Keeper of Pub

with painters, plasterers, and decora

and he has worked a wonderful
transformation in them. Prom being

METHODIST BUN 01
SHOWS KEPT HERE
Anti-Theater Rule Not Dead Let
ter in South as in North,
Declares Pastor.
The rule of the Methodist Episco
pal Church. South, regarding tiieate.-
going and other forms of am iaement,
is not a dead letter in Atlanta, ac
cording to Rev. (V. Weathers, pas
tor of the East Atlanta Methodist
Church, who. during the last six year .
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 circles
in the South the rule is not strictly
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 Bishop®, 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 1 have
found no inclination among the con
gregations to disregard this discipli
nary rule. The Methodist ministers
of Atlanta are a unit on the ques
tion.
“There are. of course, some rare
exceptions when the plays are of *
high moral character and probable
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 the
play is highly mora’..

held several pounds, but we found
that all cur coffee profit and more was

women carry sugar from home to
give it to horses, but more steal it

“What’s his stunt?” demanded the
friend.
“Instead of sticking the stamp by
a corner, so that 1 have to take a
daub of mucilage to make that corn
er stay down, he sticks it by the mid
dle, so that when I use it again all
the edges are gummed and the little
spot in ihe centre does not matter."
