I Hhi A l liAMA bLUKUJAJN AM) MAYS EMPHUTIC APPEALS FOB 'GO-TO-CHURCH' DAY 10 BE sing Da un s ord- day- ►pcal in behalf of "Oo- even more general vered last week from Atlanta, will be made aughout the city. #tors who urged their <ongregi- laht Sabbath to turn out in rec- >r caking numbers on the eventful December 14—will be even more •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 A HIGH CLASS GIFT, j A pair of genuine Kryptok lenses (invisible bifocals), in a solid gold frario . presented in a handsome sterling silver -as-.

There will be no poaching on the preserves of another There will he 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. iSlDtLJGHTS GEORGIA POLITICS l JAMIS B.NEV7N i nunc Englishmen to Build Limbo A New Turkish Navy CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec 6 — Turkish naval development is com mitted to Great Mritaln by a contract signed to-day by representatives of the Porte and English firms The Armstrong-Vickers group of shipbuilders are to take over tile ottoman navy yard at the Golden Horn and a new base is to be estab lished in the Gulf of fsmid.

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!
