PRISON CRUELTIES
SHARPLYDENIED
Shelby Smith Says Convicts Are
Too Tired to Hear Preaching
at Night Through Week.
Charges by George \V. Crabtree, a
Presbyterian pi Don evangelist, that
Fulton County convicts are cruelly
treated by guards under Captain Tom
Donaldson, have brought a denial
from Shelby Smith, chairman of the
Fulton C,»unt\ Prison Commission *
The evangelist said he vnhs pro
hibited from holding evangelistic
services in the camp save on Sunday.
Chairman Smith denies the cruelty
charges, but admits the other, saying
tile welfare of the prisoners demands
that no services be held on working
days.
Further than to deny cruel treat
ment, Captain Donaldson declined to
answer the charges made against him
Chairman Smith himfielf had little
to say except about the evangelistic
services.
“Among the TOO prisoners in this
county are ten murderers and many
other desperate characters, who obvi
ously make many restrictions neces
sary," he said. "They work’ hard
every day. and when they get through
they need a bath and a good night’s
rest. To hold religious services at
night, after a hard day’s work, would
be impractical for the prisoners, im
practical for the guards and imprac
tical for the other attendants. 1 favor
holding religious services only or
Sunday.”

Court Is Baffled by
Trust Co. Statistics
Judge Pendleton, lost in the wilder
ness of figures in the Guarantee Trust
and Ranking Company case, wants 4
Moses to lead him out. and Fridav
morning named C. J. Metz for tile
task.
Even a blackboard failed to make
the figures submitted hv audi
tors and the two sets of attorneys

Mr. Metz to spouro the information
essential in deciding whether or not
a receivership is necessary.
The task Is expected to take two
weeks, and the case has* been ad
journed for that length of time.
has been made apparent in some of
the meetings of. the assemblies. But
it isn’t altogether prejudice, either,
that keeps men apart, it is often
sincere devotion to truth, and it of
ten happens that both opponents have
right on their side. Men change their
political faiths far more readily than
they do their religious convictions.
Churches Working Together.
But it Is still true that men .with
different religious beliefs are work
ing together far more generally than
do men with different political be
liefs. It isn’t often that the Demo
crats and the Republicans sit down
to map out a campaign which is to
bring neither of them profit nor
glory. So you Atlantans who have
been smiling at what sometimes
seemed like a religious row don't for
get that the politicians haven’t come
anywhere near the church in unity
and co-operation.
The Southern Assembly yesterday
demonstrated that fact just stated
by deciding to remain within the Fed
eral Council of Churches. And it
wasn’t a very easy thing to do, < ither.
for there were many tilings that hurt
when they voted favorably upon the
resolution. So strongly did it affect
one veteran who has been fighting
“ihe battles of the Lord" that he im
pulsively surrendered his seat as
commissioner, but he showed his real I
greatness by coming back in the aft
ernoon. repentant. This commissioner
has real convictions. He’s been suf
fering on account of them.
Prejudice Giving Way.
But it has been revealed in tin
meetings of those Assemblies that
every denominational prejudice and
all sectarian pa-sion must giv way
before the spirit of which General
Adams spoke—the spirit of the Prince
of Peace. There's no other way.
Next y ear will ^undoubtedly see the
bringing together into one denomina
tion of the United Presbyterian and
the Southern Assemblies. Then the
Northern Assembly will unite with
the Reformed Church of the United
States. The plan is already set up.
It simply requires a little more time,
for such matters can not be rushed
Then, pet haps, some time in the neat
future all these bodies will get to
gether.
In many respects the Protestant
< ’hurches of the United States are
already in one group, working out
spme great ’ problems. Yesterday the
Northern Assembly listened to Dr.
Charles S. Macf irlend, Secretary of ^
the Federal Council. Lie brought
greetings from thirty denominations
and 20.000.000 Protestants in this
country. These groups are working
harmoniously. for the building up of
a great Kingdom ot' God in America,
and thev’re building fast. Then the
Assembly listened to Dr. David G.
Wylie* who represented the “Alli
ance of Reformed Churches, holding
the Presbyterian System of Belief."
In this long-named society there are
30.000.000 Protestants, in every, part
of the world, who believe in the Pres
byterian doctrine. And 30.ftro.000
Presbyterians can wield some influ
ence in the world. They re doing it.

Christian men and women working *r
some part of the globe in the spirit o;

CHORE SOON RELIEVES ALE
KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLES I
Chronic Sufferers Find Relief
After Few Doses Are Taken.
If you are bothered with backache
or rheumatism, have disagreeable, an
noying bladder or urinary disorders to
contend with or suffer with any other
of the many miseries that come from
weak kidneys, here is a guaranteed
remedy you can depend upon, no mat
ter what else may have failed to cure
you.
It Is a positive fact that the new
discovery. Croxone, promptly over
comes such diseases. It is the most
wonderful remedy ever made for rid
ding the system of uric acid.
It soaks right In and cleans out the
stopped-up kidneys and makes them
filter and sift out all the poisonous
waste matter from the blood. It neu
tralises and dissolves the uric acid that-
lodges in the joints and muscles, caus
ing rheumatism; soothes and heals the
delicate linings of the bladder
More than a few doses of Croxone
are seldom required to relieve even
the obstinate, long-standing cases.
You will find Croxone entirely dif
ferent from all other remedies It is
so prepared that it is practically im- l
possible to take it into the human ays- k
tern without results. An original pack- )
age costs but a trifle. All druggists f
are authorized to return the purchase (
price if Croxone fails to give the de- )
sired results the very first time. (
