THE ATLAiVJ A UfcUKUIAN AMI I III KMMK .MAI L>. 15)13. “Too Many of Our Pastors Are Guilty,” Declares Famous Sun day School Worker. "Too many are guilty for the Gen eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., to ever bar the use of tobacco among its ministers." This statement was made Thurs day by William H. Ridgeway, a wealthy manufacturer of Coatesville. Pa., a commissioner to the meeting of the Northern Presbyterian As sembly, anent the agitation of the question as to whether the church would require absolute abstinence by ministers from use of the weed. Mr. Ridgeway, is known to every Sunday school student in America. He writes the International Sunday School lessons for the Sunday School T nies, published in Philadelphia, and is editor of the rBuvy Men’s Column" of that paper. Immediately upon his arrived here he Kas bedeged with in vitations, without number, to teach Sunday school classes next Sunday. Dr. Hull was the fortunate one, and the students of this progressive Methodist Sunday school will have the pleasure of hearing Mr. Ridge way next Sunday morning. Too Many Enjoy Smoke. "Oh, no," said Mr. Ridgeway, to a Georgian reporter, •'there is no dan ger of the Northern Presbyterian As sembly invading the personal rights of its preachers; too many of them are guilty. Just look around the ho tel lobby here some night and you will -«ee some of the foremost men of the church serenely enjoying con verse with Lady Ni*otin» or induc ing in the even more talked-of habit of chewing tobacco.” Mr. Ridgeway is a "teetoatler" him self. but he says that preachers are human beings, just as other folks, and that their personal habits .ire not subjects for legislation by the General Assembly of thevchurch. 'And yet." said he, "if 1 were a ip'nis'ter, I would not use tobacco in •’ny form I sometimes think, when ! 11 standing before a claes of young 'hat if they know I do not use* aero at all. they ar~ saying to i . nseh os, There is a man who can • nrdrol his desires; he is a good man f» r in- to emulate.’ 1 think it is an added link in a man’s strength if he ' in show the world that he is above his inclinations. And certainly the use of tobacco is a human weakness. "But, then, you know' these Presby terians have got to ‘scrap’ about something. They have that old Scotch stiirit which forbids the amicable set tlement of any question. If it is not one thing it is another. That if one of the beauties Of this great church of ours. Every man has a voice, an equal voice, and he can raise as much disturbance as he pleases. If you want to start something just propose it in a Presbyterian meeting. "This question of conservatism and radicalism, or, as it is often called, progressivism, is just another of our little family ‘scraps.’ Why, when the election is over this afternoon these fellows will have their arms about each other and you would never know that there had been a hot fight for the moderatorship. The whole Pres byterian Church is progressive; H would not take a step back for any thing It is in the very center of the fight for Christianity, and there is no thought further from their minds than to return to the ways of yesterday. Will Continue to Expand. "No matter who is elected moder ator. the church will continue to branch out in new fields. "Progressive and liberal? Why, the church always ha9 been liberal, ready to concede individual rights apd keen to Rdopt every idea that opens a new field for work. You can bank on it— there is no such individual as a re actionary Presbyterian." ENGRAVING J00 Calling Cards, Including Plate, $1.75.

AN ATLANTA BELLE WASHINGTON. May 15. More than 1,500 briefs have been filed with the Senate Finance Committee on items affected by the Underwood tariff bills since that measure has reached the Senate. Personal in terviews have been granted to more than 500 persons Interested in man ufacturing and importing during the last ten days ami countless letters and messages received. This is the answer of the members of the Finance Committee to the criticism directed against them by Representatives because they have not granted public hearings. SOUTH NORWALK. CONN., May 16.—Winnlpauk’s public school had to close down for the most peculiar cause on record. James McGraw was ploughing in a neighboring field and the force and character of his utterances were such that the ear drums. nerves and sensibilities of teachers and pupils were sadly shocked. "You must stop such talk" (Tied the schoolmistress, and as site remov ed her fingers from her ears, she got this: "If you don’t like my plough talk, 1 reckon_vou better move the school! Nothin’ else will make the horse move, and 1 kinder think he likes my style o’ talk. His name's Sa tan." And as McGraw persisted in think ing his flow of language was far su perior to anything in the books, school had to be let out for the day. Appetite and Digestion Busy?

Assertion that there ore 250 more ministerial positions In the Southern Presbyterian field than there are men to fill them is made In the report of the executive committee on Christian education and ministerial relief, filed Thursday with the Assembly of the Southern Church. The report declares there is urgent need for 250 ministers in the home field, and funds for the salaries of these recruits are ready as soon ns the men can be obtained. An addi tional 200, the report sets forth, will be needed in the foreign field shortly. The report shows that the maxi mum amount of aid the comVnittee is able to give annually to each candi date for the ministry to aid in the completion of college and seminary course is $100, and it has been neces sary to decrease this slightly during the past three years. One out of every six or seven stu dents in the State institutions of learning in the South comes from a Presbyterian home, and this commit tee is using special effort to see that tlie best pastoral oversight is given these students During the year aid has been given to 61 ministers. 150 widows and 18 orphans in 229 needy homes. The oldest minister who is a beneficiary is 87 years of age and has given 64 years of service to the church; tlie ( rlticistn of the food served pris oners in Atlanta’s police station was made Thursday by Thomas I. Lynch, chairman of the Council Prison Com mittee. He said he had just discov ered that only two meals a day were served to persons detained at the sta tion. and that they were poor meals, too. “Such treatment is declared.

It has always been the custom it the police station to serve only two meals a day, the argument being that the prisoners need no more during confinement.

Instant Postum Statements made Thursday to Comptroller General William A. Wright by the Solicitor General of Jasper County disclosed a hot rivalry on between Jasper and Butts Coun ties for the bulk of the Central Geor gia Power Company’s taxes. Comptroller Wright set Wednesday for a hearing, when representatives of both counties will be heard. The hear ing will be held in Mr. Wright's of fice in the Capitol. One hundred thousand dollars of th ■ power company's taxes is returned in Jasper County *and $620,000 in Buks County. This is rankly disproportion ate, according to the Jasper County attorney. He told Mr. Wright tha’ five-eighrhs of the power company's property was in Jasper County and only three-eighths in Butts County. The tax returns, he argued, should be in this proportion. It will be determined at the hearing exactly where the county line is sit uated that divides the property a.v! the value of the property on each side of the line, after which the Comp troller will make a decision as to th proportion of the tax returns to which each county is entitled.

A level teaspoonful of Instant Postum in an ordinary cup of hot water dissolves instantly and makes it right for most persons. A big cup requires more and some people who like strong Ihings put in a heaping spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream.
