4 TIIK ATLANTA <JK()K<il AN AND NKVVS, V\ bDM JSDA Y . A1A \ 7, IHU Diog enes 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 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 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’..
