R, Holderby Says Circum stantial Evidence Would Cru cify the Saviour Again. Branding circumstantial evidence, especially when extorted by the third decree, as dangerous and unjust, the Rev. Andrew R. Holderby, pastor of the Moore Memorial Church, in his Sunday sermon declared that if the Angel Gabriel were to visit the earth he would very likely be convicted of some violation of the law* on that sort of evidence. “It is quite certain.” Dr. Holderby said, “that Jerus Christ would again be suspected and arrested and cruci fied just as he was 1900 years ago— and it would be on circumstantial evi dence.” Dr. Holderby arraigned the laws and courts of to-day. declaring that our so-called courts of Justice are too oft en courts of Injustice and persecu tion. “If you have any grievance with your neighbor,” he said, “you had better settle the matter by arbitration and steer clear of the courts. This is the Bible injunction. You will not likely get justice in some of our courts. “In the eyes of the law to-day it seems that every man is presumed to be guilty of some devilment unless ne can prove his innoeence,and any man may be convicted of some immorality upon the testimony of any irresponsible witness who has been put through the ’third degree.’ “God exhorts all men to ’do jus tice. love, mercy and to walk humbly with God.’ This is the summing up of religion. It is the Golden Rulo, and if men were governed by this law. earth would become heaven. Thero would be no need of preachers or lawyers or courts or juries or jails. “But this law of heaven Is not obeyed, hence the sorrows and miseries of earth. We are living in an age of Injustice and cruelty. This divine law of Justice and mercy is often violated by the State as well as the individual. The law as adminis tered by the State is inclined to be vindictive and unmerciful. E TICKET THIS WEEK Smith and Miller Have Made Al- dermanic Selections in Race for Macon Mayoralty.

Co. : Department of Famous Shoes.’’ Chamberlin=Johnson=DuBose Company ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS Surprising How Many Women Are Selecting Their Fall Suits These Days Time was when it would have been considered “rushing the season” to select a fall suit in August. But customs change with time and what was impracticable a few years ago is a very sensible thing to do now—and so smart women who concern themselves with the new styles -while they are still new are turning to the well-filled crystal cases of our suit department and are choosing with a fine sense of satisfaction their fall suits. That choosing with such satisfaction might not be possible in every store at this season we will not argue, but that it IS possi ble here is a matter you may prove by a few minutes’ visit to the Suit Department. The style tendencies for fall are wmll developed now, there is nothing to wait for in that respect—and they are novel and inter esting and varied. Novel and interesting from many viewpoints. There are draped cutaway coats, there are cutawmy coats that button close up to the neck, there are cutaway coats with “dug out” collars and others that have the semblance of a blouse—all different from styles we have known. And coats arc to be longer this fall; they measure 38 to ‘42 inches, hut—and to the pleasure of the woman of slight stature—often the cutaway effect robs them of the appearance of being long. Never were styles more generally becoming! Many of the skirts are slashed, many are draped in one way and another. Materials show the new scheme of things. Soft fin ished fabrics are prominent, velour cloths self-striped, erepons, ratine striped fabrics and bayadere poplins, trimmings often take a contrasting shade and again the use of embroidered velvet is pronounced on collars, cuffs and skirts. What are the colors'? 1 See with your own eyes! Naming the mahogany, cinnamon, prune, amethyst, Copenhagen and navy shades is but poor apology for their richness and beauty. This is a worthy display of the new suit fashions, one that a woman may approach with the confidence that the suit she selects will be an authentic style.
