Vi ass Meeting Assures New$100,-
OOO Building, Leaders Assert.
$5,373 Raised at Once.
Workers for the new negro N* M
A. building declared Monday that
the project was assured as a result
of the demonstration by the negroes
at the Auditorium Sunday night.
Called to redeem their subscrip
tions o' $50,000 to the $100,000 build
ing. 7,000 negroes packed the Audi
torium. Before the meeting wasowr
they had suhsrribed $5,373 and
pledged themselves to raise the rest.
The men back of that meeting claim
a far greater significance for it than
the incident of building a new negro
Y. M. C. A. It was one of the first
times In the history of the South that
leading Southern white men have
made a really serious effort to get
the negroes an a whole interested in
the construction of a greater race.
White Leaders Encouraged.
The appeal was made through the
negro churches That tremendous
response, said Marion Jackson, the
Men and Religion Forward Move
ment leader, who was one of the
speakers, was another step in the
great march that has been going on
through the centuries—the great pro-
< ession of the world’s progress.
Still lending their aid. a number
of prominent Atlanta white men,
headed by \\ Wood® White see in
that meeting the’beginning of a de
velopment of the negroes into better
citizens.
Mr. White explained that the
larger aspects of the negro race prob
lem In the South had been neglected
by Southern white men and left to
Northerners. Little progress has been
made.
Now, be explained. It is time for
the Southern white man to show his
interest in his own section and in the
humanity about him and the success
of the meeting Sunday night shows
that his efforts will he well rewarded.
Project Is Revived.
Three years ago the negroes of
Atlanta subscribed $,*>0,000 to a $100,-
000 V M. C A. building Julius Flos
enwald. of Chicago, and the white Y
M. C. A. of Atlanta subscribed $25,000
each.
A few months ago the project seem
ed doomed, for the negroes had paid
but a few thousand dollars of their
subscriptions.
Through the pastors of the negro
churches, Mr. White and others, in
cluding ma ty of the leading pastors
of white churches, took up the mat
ter. Now $16,877 has been subscribed
and there is assurance that much
more will be obtained

"The impression that it makes .some
difference somehow whether a profit
is made in handling liquors in clubs
or near-beer saloons which impres
sion seems to be more yr less wide
spread in Georgia—Is rather hard *o
account for.” said a. well-known ad
vocate of strict prohibition in Geor
gia to-day. "There is nothing what
ever in the idea, of course. *
"The sole question in the dispensing
of liquors in this State ia whether
they are Intoxicating—or, to be pre
cise. and follow the letter of the law,
whether they are of such a character
that, 'when drunk to excess,' they will
'produce intoxication.'
"Prohibitionists generally appear to
think that Georgia has on its statute
books now all the law It needs in re
spect of prohibition. The present
machinery is, we think, effective
enough for all purposes, and attempts
to gel further statutes enacted are
favored generally by those interests
opposed at heart to prohibition
"There are signs that there may be
some modifications of the present law
undertaken in the Legislature to i>e
elected next summer —not the present
General Assembly. It should not sur
prise me to see prohibition made an
Issue Iri a great many counties. How
ever, 1 have every confidence in the
world that, when It comes to a 'show
down,' the prohibitionists will win.
We have the votes—I think there is
no doubt of that!
"It is a mistake to believe that pr >-
hi bit ion may he separated from poll-
t.I« »— it can not. That’s all! And pr >-
hibltionists know It, well and good!”
A curious mix-up has been
straightened out or rather will be
in Laurens County, and a railroad >s
to become the boundary line between
Laurens and Montgomery.
The discussion of the matter was
brought about this week by the sur
vey of a portion of the boundary bi-
tween the two counties for the first
time since the Legislature defined it
in 1859.
The line was easily located, but
proved to be so unusually crooked
and crossed the Wadley Southern
Railroad In such a manner that the
representatives of Montgomery ma le
the representatives of Laurens a prop
osition that the counties make the
Wadley Southern road the boundary
line. Laurens to have the two arms of
Montgomery County that extenl
across into Laurens now and Mont
gomery to have the arm of Laurens
that extends Into Montgomery.
The change would give a. perma
nent straight line between the two
counties, would simplify matters a
great deal in the collection of the cor
poration tax paid by the railroad
the two counties, and would result lr
each having about the same amount
of territory as before.
The sections of the counties in
volved in the exchange will not
amount to more than 3,000 acres al
together.

Some Can
And Some Cannot
Drink Coffee Without Dangerous Results—
Hut if you intend to win out in life you will need a clearer head and steadier nerves
than the coffee drinker usually has.
Coffee contains caffeine, a subtle, poisonous drug, audits use as a daily routine bever
age causes more or less disturbance of nerves, heart, stomach, liver or some other organ.
This may not show for a time, but the coffee drug, caffeine (about 2 17 o grains to the cup) is
a cumulative poison and, for most persons, a day of reckoning will surely come.
But why-wait until Nature drives home her arguments against coffee? Try this easy
test quit coffee 10 days and try POSTUM.
After a few days the liabit-forming drug, caffeine, will be eliminated from the system,
and the gradual return to old-time comfort will be the best evidence that coffee was
"getting you.’’
There’s no headache or pains of an\ kind in Post urn. It is a pure food-drink, made only
of choice wheat and a little New Orleans molasses, and is absolutely' free from caffeine or
any other drug.
Postum now comes in two forms.
Regular Postum—must be well boiled to bring out its delicious flavour and food value.
Instant Postum—(the new form is a soluble powder. A spoonful stirred in a cup of
hot water, with sugar and cream added, makes a perfect cup. instantly.
The person who has to bother with coffee aches and pains is badly handicapped, but
it’s easv to shift to
POSTUM
And the change works wonders
