•Hipbath 1 in their insistence this
week. The ministry of the city is
awake to the importance of the oc-
< asion and has signified its intention
<*f overlooking no opportunity to
make it an epochal one in the re
ligious* historj of Atlanta.
The movement for a “Go-to-Church
Day,” when every church in the city
was to get out the maximum strength
of its no mnersnip, took people some
what by surprise at its inception/ but,
quickly appreciating the great possi
bilities it offered in the way of stimu
lating church attendance and inter
est in religious work, the laity soon
joined with the pastors in a concerted
endeavor to bring about a tremendous
outpouring of churchgoers whose
number would set a record for other
cities of Atlanta's size* to wonder at
and strive for.
Pastors Determined.
Atlanta for years has enjoyed I he
reputation of being a churchgoing
ity. The ministers have set to work
to majte a striking demonstration of
this fact. The pastor of every chur h
in tin city has determined to fill his

December 14, and thus provide a stim

no rivalry aside from the friendly
competition which may spring be
tween churches well matched in size
of memberships Each church wlil
keep closely to Its own members and
to persons without church affiliations
In its work to obtain capacity con
gregations.
The chief aim is to obtain 1h<* sum
total of people attending church Jr,
Atlanta on Dec-ember 14. The idea of
« contest to determine which church
can get out the largest congregation
Is eliminated by the "Go-to-Ohurch
Day” plans. The movement Is for the
benefit of all of the churches of At
lanta and for the encouragement of
the city’s lelielous growth.
Whole State Interested.
Committees have been appointed in
many of the churches to review the
membership rolls and to see that
every person thereon receives a per
sonal invitation to attend the serv
ices on December 14. Some of the
pastors have made the invitation al
most n demand, and woe betide the
thoughtless wight who forgets to be
in his place on the day appointed.
So popular a chord the “Go-to-
Church Day” idea has struck among
the ministry that, without any spe
cial effort to spread its observance
outside of Atlanta this year, in many
cities of the State the movement is
being taken tip enthusiastically, and
the day will be observed on the same
date that It is in Atlanta.
Prior to the “Go-to-Church Day”
movement, it never had appealed to
the ministers as a possibility that on
some certain Sunday in the 'ear the
entire churchgoing population of ♦he
State might join In a. vast outpouring,
and that on that day every church
within Georgia’s borders might be
packed to its utmost limits Now
such a possibility seems very close to
realization.

Little Facts and Fancies About
Well Known Atlantans.
CONSUMPTION
Since John M Slaton w as sworn in
au Governor of Georgia (since June
27, to be exact) he has made some
thing over 150 appointments to of
fice. of various kinds
This unusually large list Includes
judges of both Superior and County
Courts. Solicitors, members of Boards
of Trustees and Control of orie sort
and another, one judge of the Court
of Appeals, one State Tax Commis
sioner. and a State Game Warden.
The list does not include numerous
delegates to conventions here and
there, in the State and beyond.
It Is rather significant, so the Gov
ernor’s friends think, that in all this
long list of appointees, not one
should have been the cause of se
rious friction or hard feeling In any
quarter To be sure, there have been
dlsappoitned ones, who. seeking of
fice, as they honorably could, have
failed to land. A man rarely goes
after ’a plum, big or little, unless he
really and truly wants it. either for
himself or another Naturally, he
hates not to win There have been,
too, numerous contests for appoint
ment more or less vehemently, even
bitterly, fought out before the Gov
ernor.
Governor Slaton is. above all
things however, a thoroughgoing
diplomat. There never was a man
In Georgia apparently who could with
more uniform success weld together
opposing views and bring surer order
out of possible political chaos.
Every applicant for office who
comes before the Governor receives
a full and complete hearing. The
Executive has kept open many va
cancies in order to let all sides be
heard exhaustively.
< inre a hearing has been concluded,
however, both sides find that the
Governor has a head very much of
his own. He is the umpire, and he
doesn’t hesitate to make decisions! It
is something worth considering, nev
ertheless that ha should have been
so successful thus far—knock wood!
— In keeping all sides to all ques
tions in such good humor, even after
awards have been made.
in the common schools of the .Stale
will not be required for use in the
schools before next fall. Superin
tendent Brittain has sent word to the
various county superintendents *.o
that effect.
The impression somehow got abro d
that these new books must be secured
for use in the schools by January 1,
1914. the time the present book con
tracts expire, but that is not the case.
The new books must be ready for us ;
next session—which begins in Sep
tember— but will not be required be
fore then.
The Concession race In the Ninth
District, if there is to be a race this
time, is a little slow shaping itsel/.
Sometime ago It was reported that
both John N. Holder and William A.
Charters, parties to a very' spectacular
three-cornered race against Congress
man “Tom” Bell last time, In which
Bell was victorious, again would en
ter the lists against the present Rep
resentative.
Of late, however, nothing much of
this proposed tight has been heard,
and there are those who are predict
ing that Bell may have the Congres
sional position again, without pro
test, if he wishes it so.
On the contrary, however, this
amicable and altogether prety ar
rangement may not be founded on
facts—«and even if it is, it probably
is, like a railroad schedule, “subject
to change without notice.”
All three of these old rivals in the
Ninth are splendid men—each is full
Congressional size, and any one of
them, witty) the others out of the way,
most likely would make a Congress
man altogether acceptable to the peo
ple of the district concerned.
The Winder News is keeping its
eye on politics in South Georgia, and
has noticed^ things.
In this week's issue of The News it
is observed editorially “The Baby uf
the Georgia Legislature’ is going to
run for United States Congress. He
hasn't actually announced, but nis
friends are positive of his intention.
Grover C. Edmonson. Representative
from Brooks County, is only 23 years
of ago. and If he wins the Congres
sional race Georgia will have the hon
or of having the youngest Congress
man in the whole United States.'
That race In the EleveniJ certainly
will be a “mlx-up,” even if no more
than the present announced candi
dates get in the game
So far. Walker. Parker, ( onverse
and Edmonson already are apparent
ly in “to stay put,” and further An
nouncements are looked for every day.
Governor Slaton, who is in New
York on business vitally concerning
the State, will return to Atlanta next
Wednesday. He will leave New York
Tuesday, reaching home the next aft
ernoon. and will be in the Executive
offices in the Capitol Thursday.
In anticipation of the Governor’s
return, the Mansion in Peachtree
street Is being put in shape for his re
ception. He and Mrs. Slaton will re
side there during the holiday season,
and for sometime thereafter.
Workmen have been laboring in
side that ancient edifice for w’eeks
endeavoring to make it look like a
sure-enough, honest-to-goodness Gov
ernor’s Mansion, but the job has been
most strenuous, and the result is
rather uncertain!

Friday that while he was grateful to
his friend ”.Sim” Dallas, whose digni
fied nomenclature is Stmson L. Dal
las. for saving his life from un In
furiated jackrabblt during their
Thanksgiving hunt, he considered it
an accident rather than good marks
manship that the atpi nf tits friend
when the Jackrabblt was charging
was true,
•Sim 1 shot that rabbit Just in time,
and ii was the biggest jackrabblt i
ever saw.” said Mr. Harris, "but he
killed a rabbit at another time th,.t I
d«\ when 1 know his uim was at I
fault.
"A speedy cottontail darted past us
for a briar patch and we both fired;
but a search failed io produce tne
rabbit. I gave up the hunt and had
walked several hundred feet away, I
when 1 looked around for 'Sim.' He
was walking through tile briars a few
feet from where we had last seen tile
rabbit He did not seem to know I
was looking, for he pointed his gun
at the noonday sun and fired.
" Did you -»t him?' t shouted.
"Yes, he answered. And he
stooped down and pieked up the rab
bit."

Dr. Loeb Has Found!
If your little one’s tongue is coated,
it Is a sure sign the stomach, liver and
j bowels need a gentle, thorough cleansing
| at once. When your child lfi cross,
peevish, listless, pale, doesn’t sleep, eat
or act naturally; if breath is bail, stom-
ach sour, system full of cold, throat
sore, or if feverish, give a teaspoonful
of “California Syrup of Figs,” and in a
few hours all the ologged-up. consti
pated waste, sour bile and undigested
food will gently move out <>f the bow
els. and you have a well, playful child
again.
Sick children needn’t be coaxed to
take this harmless “fruit laxative.”
Millions of mothers keep it handy be
cause they know its action on the
stomach, liver and bowels is prompt
and sure. They also know a little given
to-day saves a sick child to-morrow.
Ask your druggist for a 60-cent bottle
of “California Syrup of Figs,” which
contains directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on
the bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold
here. Get the genuine, made by “Cali
