Some Perceive Such Step in At-i
tempt to Move Experiment 1
Station From Griffin.
BY JAMES B NEVIN.
Some see in the proposed dosing |
of the poultry' department at the |
Experiment Station a 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
should be closed. It is not a highly
spectacular dejvartment of the State,
to be sure, but it has been rr*
helpful inri beneficial t<» a large ni r**
ber of people. And these people feel
aggrieved that it should have been
*e» aside for slaughter, when there
are other things that might be spar
ed. and with less loss to th»* State.
The point that i» interesting in a
statewide way, hoyvever. is whether
the Agricultural Station ^*hall be
moved from (Jriffln, where it whs 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
it Georgia—and if the movement is
in, it is foolish to suppose that it
may he carried through without a
mighty protest.
Griffin I? 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
thing right now. a large end influen
tial section of the Incoming Legisla
ture will sympathise with Griffin. One
can hear it talked in the hot*! lob
bies around Atlanta.
Toupled with it, moreover. one
hears much more or less unpleasant
talk of too much politics, of on** sort
and another, along with the general
comment. The disposition 1* 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
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
statesmen, who pass through the
capital nowaday*.
T'ne 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 Latimer, Keeper of Pub
lic Buildings, has been hard at work
with painters, plasterers, and decora-*

them nil that an ofHt ial could ask.
Under Mr. Latimer's direction the
capital lias been redecorated and
otherwise Improved handsomely with

Anti-Theater Rule Not Dead Let
ter in South as in North,
Declares Pastor.
The rule r.f the Methodist Episco
pal Church, South, regarding theate -
going and other forms of amusement,
is not a dead letter in Atlanta, ac-,
« ording to Rev. C. \ r . Weathers, pas
tor of the East Atlanta Methodist
Church, who. during the last fix 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 circles
in the South the rule is not strictiv
lived up to, hut 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,
hut our College of Bishop*, at a tv-
tent 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 Inst six years I have hem
the pastor of St. James. Asbury and
the East Atlanta Churches, and I hav-
found no inclination among the con
gregations to disregard this discipli
nary rule. The M tiiodlst 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
w ould be l eneflcinl. but the Church
ran not discriminate and it is lef*
to the individual. It is very seldom,
however, that any appreciable num
ber disregard the ban even when the
play is highly moral.

themselves from bowls each of which
held several pounds, but we found
that all our coffee profit and more was

women handbags and give it lump by

women carry sugar from home to

Here's the Right Way
to Send a Stamp.
"Every day you learn somethin*
new" remarked a man who was busy
opening letters. "I get about fifty
letters a week with a postage stamp
stuck on the corner for a reply. There
is only one man in America that
knows how to stick a stamp on a let
ter.”
“What's hi* stunt?" demanded the
friend.
"Instead of sticking the stamp bv
a corner, so that I have to take a
daub of mucilage to make that corn-
• r stay down, he stick? it by the mid
dle, so that when I use it again all
the edges are gummed and the little
spot in the centre does not matter." |

He Might as Well
Have Ordered It.
"When 1 was in New York recent

see how justice is administered in the
big city.
"Magistrate Freschi had a cane be- j
fore him of violation of the liquor
tax law. A detective testified that he
had entered the defendant's place,
ordered beer for four, paid $?.00 for
the round and tipped the waiter 25
cents.
" ’Whose mono paid for the
drinks?' asked the court. 'Yours or
the city's?’
" 'The city’s.'
" 'Then why didn’t you order cham
pagne?’ Magistrate Freschi said.”
