Difficult Task for Seminaries
Savannah Chamber of Commerce
I
Starts Probe to Prove Insur
ance Discrimination in Ga.
BY JAMES B NEVIN.
The City of Savannah through Its
j chamber of Commerce, has started
| an investigation into the question of
file insurance rates that may termi
nate in the State Insurance Depart
ment, if not in the Legislature it
self.
The primary purpose of the inves
tigation will be to determine whether
the City of Savannah is being dis
criminated against in the matter of
rates now prescribed by the Southeas
tern Tariff Association, which has its
headquarters in Atlanta. In shap
ing its conclusions, the Savannah
trade body will employ statistics
gathered from all over the nation.
If rates in Savannah are found to
be < xc. ssive in the judgment of the
Savannah Chamber of Commerce, in
quiry will be made as to excessive
rates throughout all Georgia. And
if the Chamber finds that Georgia is
being unfairly treated in this matter,
the case against the tariff body will
be art-i d before the State Insurance
Department, and ii may be that Leg
islative relief will be sought.
The Savannah Chamber will em
ploy numerous insurance experts to
investigate conditions, and expects to
be put to considerable expense in
making its probe thorough and com
plete. The question Is a broad one,
of course, and the Chamber of Com
merce expresses its determination to
be fair and equitable to the tariff
association no less than to itself in
getting at the facts involved.
The investigation was brought
about by reason of numerous com-j charge of churches. To be sure, many
plaints of excessive fire insurance of these men are engaged in othei
rates ( barged in Savannah, and once; forms of religious work, but the great
Job of Supplying Ministers for
Congregations Hardest of
All—Each Wants Best.
By REV. CHARLES STELZLE.
The Presbyterian Church needs
1,000 additional ministers to man its
churches, according to the report of
the committee on Christian life and
work, which reported at the North
ern Assembly Friday.
Among the many topics discussed
at the Assembly meetings, few are of
more importance than that of secur
ing ministers—not mce ministers
necessarily, but better ministers, for
, the demand to-day is for the highest
type of leadership in the church.
There never was a time in the his
tory of the church when the chances
for making good a= a preacher were
so great as it is to-day. The church
is being asked to take the lead in
th® important social problems of the
day. as well as the religious questions
of the period. For a real man's man,
here's ih<» job of the twentieth cen
tury.
Many Men Needed.
But while better men are needed,
we can't get away from the proposi*
lion that we need a good many of
them. This is the problem which
faces the church.
Dr W. H Houston, of Columbus,
secretary of the committee on va
cancy and supply, which has charge
of finding preachers for vacant
churches, gave a stirring address. He
made the startling statement that
there are 3.000 ordained ministers in
the Presbyterian Church who are not
pastors—that is. they are not in
lieves lie can make the demonstration
with this amount.
Here's good luck to him.
For if he succeeds, he will render
a great service not only for the Pres
byterians. but for all other non-Epis-
copal churches which must depend
upon the wisdom of their sessions
and other boards or
find ministers.

he said;

"Another thing 1 want to make clear
is that my dealing with those men

GARY VICE DISTRICT GETS
Recci„.. Show He Has Been Con
fined in Numerous Prisons and
Twice in Asylum.
Who is A. S. Colyar?
The records show that Colyar was
once confined in the Middle Tennes
see Insane Asylum, and that more
recently he was sent to Lyons View,
the East Tennessee Asylum. Infor
mation from Nashville is that he
served time in prisons all over the
State, as well as in Sing. Sing. New
York, and a jail in Virginia. Tele
grams from Chattanooga paint him
as a w ild adventurer who spends con
siderable time in prison and is al
ways in trouble.
In Prison Many Times.
NASHVILLE. TENN May 24.-
A. S. Colyar is a son of the late A. S.
Colyar, of this city , one of the most
brilliant lawyers and statesmen Ten
nessee ever produced. When not vio
lently' insane his mind works bril
liantly. but always to the wrong end.
He has been in prison time after time,
but always evaded long sentences
through influence of his father's
friends.
Young ColyaV’s most noted exploit,
as it is understood here, consisted in
connection with the famous Mollineux
murder case in New York. He went
from Nashville to New York, saw
General Mollineux and offered to have
his son acquitted for $20,000.
"Your son Is innocent." Colyar is
reported to have said. "One of my
clients, now in the Tennessee peni
tentiary, is guilty. He confessed 10
me. For $20,000 1 can get him out of
McMinnville and stole a mule.
Through interposition of friends he
was sent to an insane asylum. He
set fire to the institution and rode
into Nashville to notify the fire de
partment. Several persons were in
cinerated in this tire.
In Financial Trouble.
For the past ten years A. S. Colyar
has been out of one serious trouble
into another, until his father’s friends
have despaired of him.
His last trouble in Tennessee was
in the town of Lafollette, a wealthy
mining center in East Tennessee He
then became involved in serious finan
cial difficulties which promised a pris
on sentence. Nashville people who
revered the name out of memory of
an honored sire saved him. by con
vincing a judge that young Colyar
was unbalanced, and he was sent to

The inquiry will b* started imme

through in time to go before the
summer session of the Legislature for
relief, if necessary.
It seems to be generally agreed
that John P. Cheney, of Cobb, is to
be the speaker pro tem of the next
House of Representatives.
He Is one of the veteran members’^
of the House as veterans go nowa

and i- sure to be acceptable as a
presiding officer.
Besides being a member of the
Legislature. h*> is t member of the
city Council of Marietta, and a trus
tee of the Georgia Agricultural Col

Since Mr. Adams, of Hall, definite
ly announced that he not only
would not be in the race for

port Mr. Cheney, there have been no
other announcements, and the pre
sumption is that .Mr. Cheney is to be
elected without opposition.

however, that Governor Brown was

After the audience Cardinal O’Con

recuperative powers are astonishing.
"My audience lasted over half an
hour. He had just finished another

“The Pope always takes the keen

America, and I was able to give him

there.”

and he stays just as long
the bishop says so. Now the democ
racy of the Presbyterian Church Is a
tint' thing It gives each church the
right to "call” just the preacher It
wishes. But the system also holds
some very serious disadvantages.
However, men have always paid dear
ly for the benefits of democracy, and
if they want it, they must pay the
price.
Work for Seminaries.
Dr. A. H. Barr, of Baltimore, re
ported on theological seminaries. To
many people here’s the crux of the
entire situation: If the seminaries
can make good in training men and
training them in the right way. so as
to'gixe their* students the right kind
of an outlook upon their tasks, it
will help immensely.
Dr. Barr said it was quite a popu
lar thing to criticise theological sem
inaries for
That’s easy. Few men can give us
a program and a curriculum which
will not only develop men of superior
type—this they can do without much
difficulty—but to take the ordinary
man who comes to the seminary to
become a preacher and really make a
great preacher of him—there's the
rub.
Usually, the $1,000 church wants a
$10,000 preacher; so the job of sup
plying preachers i9 difficult at best.
Dr. Barr reported that the enrollment
in the junior classes in all Presby
terian theological seminaries this
year is 30 less than it was a year ago,
although there are 60 more men in
the senior classes than there were
last year. This proves that either
students are holding on better in the
upper classes or else some men are
coming back to the seminaries and
finishing their courses. No doubt, the
seminaries are improving their cur- VALDOSTA
riculums. This will help in inducing year-old son
more men to take the course.
Pay for Students.
Dr. William McKibbin offered a res
olution that the Board of Education
pay ordained ministers who wish to
return to the seminary for additional
work the same amount of money that
is paid the regular student for the
Gospel ministry Dr. McKibbin is
himself the president of a theological
seminary—Lane, of Cincinnati—and
he knows something of the difficulties
in the way of securing men and train
ing them.
The discussion of the day with ref
erence to the entire subject revealed
a decided interest in the matter, many
of the commissioners speaking to it.
