Forrest Adair and stores of other
business men have directed against
the bulletins and propaganda of the
Men and Religion Forward Move
ment is contained In the announce
ment Friday morning that Dr. Dun
bar H. Ogden, pastor of the Central
Presbyterian Church, and one of the
city's leading ministers, will devote
his Sunday evening sermon to a dis
cussion of the agitation
Dr. Ogden announced Friday that
his subject will be "Fight or Dark
ness, ” and voiced his intention of
speaking very plainly In reference to
local conditions.
It is understood that he will vig
orously defend the bulletins as throw
ing the light of knowledge on evils
that can be cured only by the educa
tion of the masses, and that he will
uphold the methods of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement in no
uncertain terms. Dr. Ogden stated
Friday that the opponents of the bul
letins are especially urged to attend
the services
Eag*n Member of Hi* Church.
John J. Kagan, the moving spirit
in the Men and Religion Forward
Movement. Is superintendent of the
Sunday School and an Influential
member of Dr. Ogden's church.
Though Dr Ogden is the first At
lanta minister to announce hl.s inten
tion of making the controversy the
subject of a sermon. It is understood
that half a dozen others will refer to
the agitation In their Sunday dis
courses. All of these, it Is known,
will defend the bulletins and the
methods of the Men and Religion
Movement and will plead for a ces
sation of the agitation against them
on the ground that the bulletins are
doing Atlanta a great deal of good In
that they are shedding light in the
dark places and are a part of a cam
paign of education that is intended to
benefit the city morally
It 1s expected that the sermons of
Sunday Will be followed by official in
dorsement of the Men and Religion
Movement when the Evangelical Min
isters' Association meets Monday
The Rev. C. E. Schaeffer, president of
tlie association, stated a week ago
that if the agitation attained suffi
cient proportions the organization
would take official cognizance of it,
and with half a hundred business men
backing up Colonel Paxon and Mr.
Adair, action by the ministers Is re
garded as certain.
“Men and Religion” to Meet.
It also is regarded as practically
< ertain that the agitation will be the
subject of considerable discussion at
the Monday meeting of the Men and
Religion Movement. Seveml of the
members brought up the subject of
the controversy last Monday, but a
statement of what transpired was re
fused by the leaders of the move
ment.
Leaders in the opposition claim
that at least two of the members are
surprise 1 that there are any reputa
ble citizens of Atlanta against the
issuance of the bulletins, and that
tb*»\ are in favor of susi*»ndlng their
publication until some less objection
able method of work can be arranged.
This, however, is denied by the
numbers of the committee and by
the leader* of the movement, who de-
c’are that the bulletins are in full ac
cord with the ideas of all the mem
bers of the committee.

«t Fort McPherson New Year’s night,
complimentary to Colonel and Mrs.
J. T. VanOrsdale, especially with re
gard to the approaching retirement of
Colonel VanOrsdale from active serv

March, after a long and distinguished
army career.
Resides tne officers of the fort and
their wives, the guest list Included
several hundred Atlanta society peo
ple. Governor and Mrs. Blaton were
* present, and General R K Evans,
commanding the Second Brigade, first
division, was a guest of honor.
Captain and Mrs. Henry Bankhead
entertained in compliment to Mr and
Mrs. Frederick Corning, of Brooklyn,
guests of Mr and Mrs. F. S. Ellis,
previous to the ball, and headed the
reception committee at that function.
Many Handsome Gifts.
The regimental hall was beauti
fully decorated, the Stars and Stripes
appearing blended with the flags of
all nations, and the stands of arms
and trophies of war contrasting In an
impressive manner with the luxury of
bamboo furnishings and floral deco

complimented with a number of hand
some and costly gifts, tokens of the
love and esteem of their associates.
The officers of the fort presented a
handsome silver service; General

enlisted men at the fort provided a
fitting tribute of their esteem for

the ranking officer of this part hf the
country, next to the commander of
the Department of the Gulf, or what

m
Refuses to Make ‘Promotion’ on
Request of His Coun
cilmans Foe.
A clever bit of negotiation for com
mittee appointments in the new Coun
cil has been conducted between Coun
cilman Albert D. Thomson and Mayor
Woodward. Because the attacks of
these two on each other were the
spiciest political episodes of the year,
the fact that they almost came within
personal touch was a sensation in
City Hall circles, where the under
standing is that the enemies of the
Mayor shall stay far away from him.
A close friend of the Mayor, re
membering how Councilman Thom
son was made vice chairman of the
Minutes Committee, known as the
“insult” committee, because there aro
no duties attached to it, asked Coun
cilman Thomson what message he
would like to send the Mayor regard
ing new appointments. In his most
diplomatic vein Councilman Thomson
replied:
“When the Mayor assigned some of
us to minor committees he said he
was putting us on probation. Coun
cilman A. H, Baskin, chairman of the
Minutes Committee, has not attended
a single meeting this year and the
duties have all fallen on me. I think
the Mayor should keep his word and
reward my services by making me
chairman of the Minutes Committee.”
When the message was conveyed
to Mayor Woodward he was thought
ful for a moment, and then replied:
“Councilman Thomson is right. I
did promise to promote all who made
good. But I made the mistake of not
contemplating having to demote any
one. I ihlnk I’ll Just hold the chair
manship of the Minutes Committee |
as a soft spot for some of those high
er up whom I’m going to drop.”
Leader Issues Statement in Con
troversy Over Index Concern
as ‘Open Shop.’
Jesse W Arm inten d, president of
the Atlanta Typographical Union, has
issued a statement denying that the
union printers employed by the Index
Printing Company walked out on
New Year’s Day, aqd declaring that
they were locked out when the man
ager of the company. Rev. B. J. W.
Graham, decided to non-unionize the
composing room of his plant.
Mr. Armistead declares that the de
cision of Rev. Mr. Graham followed
the action of the local “typos” in
raising the book and job scale from
$16.50 to $18, which increase he de
clares was granted by every printing
plant in the city except the Index
Company, which notified Mr. Armi
stead several days ago that the union
policy of the shop would be discon
tinued and the composing room non-
unionized after .January 1.
Last Wednesday. Mr. Armistead
says. Rev. Mr. Graham went into the
composing room and addressed his
union printers, dismissing them from
his employ and telling them their pay
checks awaited them in the office.
Mr. Armistead also declares that
Rev. Mr. Graham has refused to give
either himself or the men any reason
for his action, declaring that there
were reasons which could not be told.
The Index Company also refused the
proposal of the printers to arbitrate
the question. Mr. Armistead declares.
The union men expect to continue
their fight to get their jobs back, it
is understood, and Mr. Armistead de
clares the fight will be “conducted
in a fair and honorable manner.”

AFTER SICKNESS OR OPERATIO
It is a pathetic mistake to accept drugs or alcoholic
mixtures when nature craves nourishment to repair
the wasted body and restore the vigor of health.
For forty years the best physicians have relied on
the wholesome predigested nourishment in SCOTT'S
EMULSION which is totally free from alcohol or opiates.
Scott's Emulsion sharpens the appetite—renews
blood—nourishes nerves—strengthens bones and
restores the courage of health to make life bright.
Soott’s Emulsion sets in action
the very forces that promote
health. Its purity, ^ 1
