SERMONS SHI
SPLIT ON BIBLE
Atlanta Clergymen Argue For and
Against Measure Now Before
Legislature.
Atlanta’s pulpits became a forum
Sunday for discussion of the Searcy-
flush bill, enactment of which would
fores the regular reading of the Bible
In Georgia’s public schools. Many
mermans revealed that the preachers
are divided on the subject.
The bill has had a stormy career
since tts -purpose was discovered. It
aroused little debate in the Educa
tional Committee of the Senate, and
was reported out favorably. As soon
Be its text became known, however, a
delegation of clergymen visited the
committee and started the agitation.
Dr. C. W. Daniel of the First Bap
tist Church, Dr. H. M. DuBose of the
First Methodist Church and Dr. Dun
bar Ogden of the Central Presbyte
rian Church, favor passage of the
measure which has been recommitted
to the consideration of the committee.
Dr. John E. White, of the Second Bap
tist Church, preached in opposition.
Objects to Making Bible Bludgeon.
Dr. White protested against “mak
ing Jesus king by force.” He declared
the principle of compulsory Bible
reading in the schools was the same
which Christ Himself rejected near
ly 2,000 years ago when the populace
©ought to tak© Him and make Him
temporal king.
“The objection to this bill is not
met by eulogies of the Bible,” he said.
•'It is, rather, that the State, being a
political institution, can not, with
out violating its fundamental char
ter and without exceeding Its estab
lished function, make the Bible the
instrument of compulsion and the
weapon of force.”
Daniel’s View Opposite.
Dr. Daniel, taking a stand directly
opposite that of Dr. White, asserted
that the State was bound to furnish
the students of the public schools a
knowledge of the Bible because the
Bible is the source of all that is best
In English literature and has fur
nished the moral basis of civiliza
tion.
Dr. Ogden preached for the bill, but
recommended an amendment permit
ting children whose parents objected
to the reading to be excused while the
Bible was being read.
Dr. DuBose declared the use of the
Bible was just to all sects, and that
Us reading in the public schools was
essential to the future of the State
ami nation.

It looks as if the large interests are
accumulating stocks on all weak spots
with the idea that they will be worth
more money this fall. Climatic condi

DRY GOODS TRADE FALLING
OFF; COLLECTIONS BETTER
Marshall Field & Co. in their weekly
review of the dry goods trade say:
"Distribution of merchandise In gen
eral shows the midsummer falling off,
but in no way to a greater degree than
is usual at this time of the year. Col
lections are somewhat better than nor
mal.
"Merchants generally are taking ad
vantage of the great open stock in this
market. They are ordering week to
week just what they need. This means
a greater turn-over to them and also
makes for a sounder business condition.
“Ruffling, plaiting and fluting of lace
and shadow- lace edging, as well wash
blondes, are having an unusually large
distribution owing principally to the
adoption of these materials for use in
lingerie. Thff demand for this kind of
merchandise has so Increased that' there
is already a shortage in wash blondes
and prices arc advancing.
"There is also a materially increased
call for cotton lace flouncing in 17, 27
and 45-inch widths for dresses, to be
used over highly colored silks. The
popularity of this novelty is steadily
growing and promises to extend through
out the entire fall and winter season."
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.

shown at Liverpool and the more bullish
situation abroad. Finley, Barrel! A

Northwestern receipts were more than
double those of a year ago
Continued hot weather In the corn
belt caused an advance in the prfee of
that cereal of a half.cent this morning.
Oats were strong in sympathy with
the upturn In other grains.

News and Notes
Of Grain Crops
By JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.
CHICAGO, July 21.—Farmers of
the United States now hold the whip
hand. Their action in the matter of
offering wheat will make the price.
And it may be said that the more
eager the foreigners to secure wheat,
the more indifference will be shown
by the growers. The farmer of to
day is well informed on conditions
and cin. jmstances surrounding the
wheat situation, and he is as com
petent to pick out a place to dump
his surplus wheat as the best broker
in Chicago. He watches the crop
conditions, the milling situation, the
export and other buying power, and
when there is a likelihood of any im
provement in the price of wheat the
farmer is fully aware of the pro
spective change in his favor.
* • •
The crop killer has left the spring
wheat country for the simple reason
that he has not been able to gain a
foothold since the dry sections of the
Northwest were thoroughly wet down
and the outlook has improved.
• * *
It is amusing to the old-time far
mers on the Board of Trade to wit
ness the scramble for corn, as seen
for a few weeks past, on the report
of great damage by high winds
throughout Kansas. One man who
was brought up in corn belt of the
country says that if the weather is
not hot in June and July he would
like to know iy>w there could be a
crop of corn.
• * *
Kansas was reported as having lost
its corn crop by hot winds and grass
hoppers, while on the following day
a man who is well known in Chi
cago for his conservatism reported
the crop In the same neighborhood
as progressing.
• * *
There was a big open account in
oats a few weeks ago, but this has
been pretty well evened up and at
the moment there are fewer bulls
than before.
