The date, December 14, has been
found acceptable to all of the min-
siers, and, although "Go-to-Church
Day" i» nearly two wee’ distant,
most of them actively have set to
work to arouse their congregations to
the significance of tile movement and
to the necessity of gettir.; out record-
breaking attendances at both the
seivlces on thuf day.
Accurate Count To 3e Made.
The plan proposes that each pastor

Go-to-Church Day” plan received
. ommendatory notice Sunday. Pas-
,.i- urged their congregations to be-
unie imbued with the spirit of the
movement; to be at church on the
in set and to see that other mem
bers who may not have been regular
n iheir attendance are there also.
Some of the ministers discussed
e movement at length, going into
t he advantages of regular church at-
i enhance and referring to the go-to-
hurch plan as a powerful stimulus
of attendance and interest in religious
work.
Dr. DuBose Lauds Plan.
Go-to-Church Day” was strongly
put forward Sunday at the I’ irsi
Methodist Church. Dr, DuBose, ine
pastor, said:
It is significant of a happier drirt
.n public thought and conscience that
t spontaneous movement should look
toward a revival of churchgoing afrer
:he manner of an earlier zeal and
faithfulness.
"The subject is worthy a profound
and earnest inquiry, as the effort to
deepen interest in churchgoing is
worthy the indorsement and support
of every broad-minded person. Such
an effort, if pushed to success, will go
a long way toward starting many In
the settled' habit or chaychgoing. an 1
will give an instant and lasting im
petus to the religious and ethical con
cerns of our people, resulting in a
purer public sentiment, a healthier
social atmosphere and a more genu
ine respect for the sanctity of the
Sabbath and the other institutions of
Christianity.”
Large congregations attended th.s
■ liurch both morning and evening.
“Splendid,” Says Dr. Jones.
Before a large congregation at
Grace Methodist Church Df. Charles
O. Jones, entering upon his third year
as pastor, gave enthusiastic indorse
ment to the “Go-to-Church Day.” He
said:
“It is a splendid idea, and shou.d
catch like fire on a Texas prairie.
For everybody, saint and sinner, to
go to church at the same hour, for
the rich and poor to sit together !n
the same pews, will suggest high
thoughts, soften class relations and
make men realize that there are more
important things than commerce, and
politics, and war with Mexico, such
as neighborliness, unselfish service
and obligations to God.
"The only objection.” he added. * Is
that if everybody shall go to church
at the same time there will he more
folks than seats. But it will be a
fine sight to see people in the aisles,
children on the altar steps and ‘stand
ing room only’ occupied by reverent
worshipers.”
The Rev. A. M. Hughlett, of St.
Mark Methodist Church, called at
tention to the movement at both ser
vices and made a plea for the hearty
co-operation of the church members.
In addition to this, the Rev. Mr. Hugh
lett this week will send out a per
sonal letter to every member on the
church roll, making an Individual ap
peal.
Negroes Interested.
The colored ministers of the city
have entered readily into the plans
for a record day in the point of
1 hurch attendance.
It is safe to say that ail of the
negro churches will be packed to the
CASTOR l A
For Infants and Children.
The Kind You Have Always Bought
doors on December 14. for many of
these churches actually are making a
better showing on percentage of
church members present at the regu
lar service than are the white
churches. The reports that will be
turned in by the colored churches will
swell the totals by thousands.
A number of the ministers in both
the white and colored churches have
devised the plan of increasing the in
terest in the day by making consid
erable notice of it during the Sunday
school exercises, as well as in the.
church services.
An increased church attendance
ordinarily works for a larger Sunday
school and for this reason the Sun
day school officers are heartily in fa
vor of the movement.
Indications are that an attendance
will be brought out that will tax the
capacity of every church In Atlanta
and that a record will be set that wifi
surpass that of any other city of At
lanta’s size. If the experience of
I other cities is realized here, the in
terest will be maintained for months
following the “Go-to-Church Day.”

Friends of Fred Houser, the secre
tary of the Atlanta Convention Bu
reau, are just finding out why he is
so conspicuously silent whenever
anybody begins talking about what
happened on the last lap of the re
cent industrial excursion staged by
the Chamber of Commerce Industrial
Bureau. He is loquacious to the nth
degree on all subjects pertaining to
the first heat of the excursion—until
the said excursion got a/ far as the
Atlanta Steel Works. From then on
he Is as silent as the proverbial
grave. And here is why: One of the
! greatest desires Houser lias ever
had has been to see somebody nak-
I ing nails, and he never had a op-
i portunity before the industrial ex-
| curslon took in the steel plant. So
when the crowd detrained to inspect
i the steel works. Houser hied himself
i to the nail department, where he
gloated so long and enthusiastically
that he was still gloating when the
train pulled out—without him.
Though lie insists he didn’t, it is a
i matter of common knowledge that he
j walked a mile to catch a street car.
Thomas E. Penland, the genial
head bookkeeper of the T. R. Saw-
tell Company, who lives at No. 7<>
i Washington street, has two distinc
tions these days that mark him as |
radically different from the ordinary
mortal. In the first place he's about
the only man In Atlanta who had a
Thanksgiving turkey and forgot to
eat it—or' anything else. And then
he’s the father of the bounc.ingest of
bouncing baby boys. The second is
the cause of the first. The little
stranger arrived early Thanksgiving
morning, and was promptly named
Thomas E.. Jr.; and then Thomas E..
Sr., assumed that expression of
beatific joy and price that always
! marks the new father as a man
among men. He had a wonderful
turkey—with mine eyes I saw it and
know it to be so—and he had it all
roasted and stuffed until it was a
culinary triumph. But he was so
busy admiring the new heir to his
name and fortunes that he didn't eat
a bite all day. To paraphrase:
Father was so happy he was dan
cing with Joy:
All he could say was, “Gee! I’m
glad it’s a boy!”
W. H. Leahy, secretary of the In
dustrial Bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce, Is getting his head filled
with figures these days. He's pre
paring a booklet on Atlanta's banks,
and he says lie neer knew how much
money there was In the wbrld until
he got hold of some of the financial
statements of ioca! banks. The book
let will contain histories of all the
banks in the city, together with fig
ures showing their resources and
! growth.
Billy Quarles, who is one of the
' high-class employees of the Fain A*
! Stamps Wholesale Grocery Company,
never drinks a drop of anything
stronger than coffee, and the other
night when the firm’s employees had
a banquet at the Piedmont, his pro-
j hibitloniftic tendencies were paid
i marked tribute. They gave him a
i baby bottle full of milk, with lnstruc-
t tions to go away off by himself and
get “soused.” But AVilliam fooled
them all. He’s got a young son out
at his house who just dotes on milk,
and few of his fellow employees
knew anything about the youngster.
So instead of being real devilish and
getting on a “milk jag,'’ he took the
bottle home and let “George do It.”

Peachtree street. City officials, mem

the child from its infancy until the
time it leaves the parental roof are
shown in chart, by pictures and ir.

Chambers Charges
Turner With Plot on

A new fight against City Electrician
R. C. Turner that likely will be carried
to Council will be launched at a special
meeting o fthe City Board of Electrical
Control Monday by Aldlne Chambers,
meeting of the City Board of Electrical
Company. Chambers said Monday that
Turner’s attitude toward the company
was so discriminatory that he believed
there was some important motive behind
it and that he intended to try to de
velop this motive before the city offi
cials.
“Turner is trying to put the Cotton

Egg Famine Menaces
Christmas Time ‘Nog’
THOMASVILLE, Dec. 1.—Those
who think Christmas is not properly
celebrated without the time-honored
eggnog are uneasy lest there be no
fresh eggs, because of an egg famine
in this section. They can still get
the “nog" part from neighboring
States, where liquor laws are less
stringent, but It looks now as if they
may be obliged to go against custom
and leave out the egg.
Connoisseurs say eggnog is not good
when made with shipped or storage
eggs.

Dangerous Drug Giving Way for Safer.
Mora Reliable Remedy.
Hundreds of people in this vicinity
alone have slopped the use of danger
our calomel when their liver is acting
slowly, and take Dodson’s Liver Tone ,
instead.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is always safe
and has none of the bad after-effects
which so often follow the use of calo* |
in el. It is a pleasant-tasting Vegeta- [
ble liquid that starts the liver gently
and surely, and relieves constipation and
biliousness and causes no restriction of
habit or diet *
Many preparations have sprung utf
that imitate the claims made for Dod
son’s Liver Tone, but remember Dod
son’s Liver Tone is the tried and tested
remedy that has proven such a good
medicine and is so satisfactory to every
user—is the reason these imitations are
on the market.
Dodson’s Liver Tone can not hurt,
anyone and if it fails to do all that is
