B¥ MINISTERS I* IWOIR
"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 Uoatesville.
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
whites the International Sunday
School lessons for the Sunday School
Times, published in Philadelphia, and
is editor of the "Busy Men’s Column"
of that paper. Immediately upon his
arrived here he was oecleged 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 s'ee some of the foremost men
of the church serenely enjoying con
verse with . Lady Nicotine or indug-
ing in the even more talked-of habit
of chewing tobacco."
Mr. Ridgeway' is a "teetoatler" him
self. but he says that preachers arc
human beings, just as other folks, and
that their personal habits ire not
subjec ts for legislation by the General
Assembly of the church.
And yet.” said he, "if 1 were a
minister. I would not use tobacco In
any form I sometimes think, when
I am standing before a class of young
men, that if they know I do not, use
t* bacco at all. they are saying to
themselves, There is a man who can
■ ontroi his desires; lie is a good man
D r in. to emulate.’ I think it is an
added link in a man's strength if he
in show the world that he I$» 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
spirit which forbids the amicable set
tlement of any question. If it is not
one thing it is another. That is* one
of the beauties of this great church of
ours. Every man has a voice, an
equal voice, and tie 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,
pr ogres si v ism, 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 flight for
the moderatorship. The whole Pres
byterian Church is progressive; ’t
would not take a step back for any
thing It is in the very center of the
flght 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 has been liberal, ready
to concede individual rights and keen
to adopt every idea that opens a new
field for work. You can hank on it—
there is no such individual as a re
actionary Presbyterian.”
Report Shows Need for Ministers
in Southern Field—Funds
Ready, Men Scarce.
Assertion that there are 250 more
ministerial positions in the Southern
Presbyterian field than there are men
to All them is made in the report of
the executive committee on Christian
education and ministerial relief, filed
Thursday with the Assembly of the j
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 as
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 committee 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.

SOUTH NORWALK. CONN., May
15.—Winnipauk’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. nerve* and sensibilities of
teachers and pupils were sadly
shocked.
"You must stop such talk" cried
the schoolmistress, and as she remov
ed her fingers from her ears, she got
this;
"If you don’t like my plough talk. I
reckon you better move the school!
Nothin' else will make the horse
move, and I 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.

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 the
power company's taxes is returned in
Jasper County and $620,000 in Butts
County. This is rankly disproportion
ate, according to the Jasper County
attorney. He told Mr. Wright tha'
five-eighths 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 and
the value of the properry on each side
of the line, after which the Comp
troller will make a decision as to the
proportion of the tax returns to which
each couaty Is entitled.

Instant Postum
This pure food-drink, made from choice, whole wheat and
the juice of Southern sugar-cane, contains no drug whatever,
but is genuine nourishment.
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
things put in a heaping spoonful and temper it with a large
supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your
palate and have it served that way in the future.
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular (must he boiled.)
Instant Postum doesn't require boiling but is prepared
instantly by stirring a level teaspoonful in a cup of hot water.

E
Councilman Characterizes Feed
ing at Police Station as
"Inhuman Treatment.”
Criticism of the food served pris-
oners in Atlanta's poller station was
made Thursday by Thomas I. Lynch. 1
chairman of the Council Prison Com
mittee. He said he had Just discov
ered that only two meals a day wet*
served to persons detained at the sta
tion, and that they were poor meals,
too.
"Such treatment is inhuman," he
declared. "It is the worst sort of
tyrannical persecution, with the atti
tude of the police being to arrest any
and everybody on slight pretext. I
want: every member of Council to go
down and look at the food and th -»n
imagine himself confined and forced
to cat it. I am already at work <o
bring uhout reforms."
As chairman of the Prison Commit
tee, Councilman Lynch has the active
supervision of the city stockade.
Meala are sent from there to the po
lice station. He first criticised the
peas, fat meat, turnip greens and the
like as too coarse food, but did not
decide to make a flght until he dis
covered it always got cold in the two-
mile hauf to the police station, and
that no supper ever was sent.
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.
Councilman Lynch's fight will be
for an Increased fund for food for
prisoners.
