7 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS, WEDNESDAY, M\V 7. 1913. RO£WD- SHOWS KEPT HERE Electioneers With ! ‘Japs Wait Time to Fists in Australia! Strike,' Says Towne 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-* tors, for many days on these rooms, and he ha> worked a wonderful transformation in them From being the most uninviting he has made them nil that an ofHt ial could ask.

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.

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.
