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.

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. Thompson.

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.
