that the matter should watt until after
the next meeting of the legislature;
that the recent social disturbances would
be taken advantage of by the whisky
Interests and used to great advantage
against the efforts of. the Antl-Snloon
League and those fighting against the
whisky Interests. *
It was recalled that during the last
prohibition campaign, In which the sa
loons were forced out dt business, that
the women of the city took a great
part. They were upon the streets all
day and worked hard in making a
thorough canvass during the time the
polls were open In getting voters to
cast their ballots.
Impossible at Present.
The fact that they served hot coffee
and soup and other substantial thing*
to the negro laborers In Atlanta, and in
this way prevailed upon them to vote
against liquor, was mentioned by one
of the ministers, and he was of the
opinion that this mode of reaching the
voters wa* practically ImjJosslble at
this time, and that such a canvass wa*
absolutely necessary In a similar cam
paign at this time.
The regular meeting hour^was con
sumed In discussing the different item*
on a new blank for the annual report*
of ministers. Each Item wa* taken up
.separately and Its meaning discussed
until thoroughly understood by every
one present. The annual reports re
lated mainly to the contributions for
missions and other chartties. Presiding
Elder James H. Eakes announced that
at the-next meeting he wanted all the
ministers to report to him every addi
tion to the membership of the churches,
together with the amounts In excess
of mission fund* for the year.
The committee of ten was composed
of the following: ,
M. R. Emmons, chairman; Wheeler
Mangum, Rev. J. D. Gunn, T. H. Jones,
W. L. Randall. Jerome Sllvey, A. VV.

Herbert G. Brantley. 21 years of age.
assistant cashier of the Hayner .Dis
tilling Company, In Decatur street, Is
strangely missing from his home, near
the corner of Castleberry street and
Madison avenue, and all efforts to find
him hsve proven unavailing.
The young man Is said to Im afflicted
with a nervous trouble anil bis family
believe that cither this affection Is re
sponsible for his disappearance or that
he has m#t with foul play. He was last
seen Saturday afternoon in the court
room of Justice of the Peace Klngsbery

Ing that°lte was feeling 111. He went to
his home and remained there until Sat

to go down town and since then noth
ing ha* been seen or heard of him by
his people or his employers.
The missing young man has been
connected with the distilling company

let air know Just how we stnnd right
now.
“In Twenty-four Hours."
I venture the statement, and I nin
not boasting, that in 24 hours I can
organize n committee of business inen
large enough to start this election, gnd
can get a good campaign committee.
What We want to do Is to get the peo
ple with us.
’Let us arouse the people, and the
great tide of their Influence rolling on
wilt make the classes join In the cur
rent or else.be drowned. 1 wish the
party were here that heard R. M. Rose
conversing bn the subject of a prohibi
tion election. He has his exact words.
They’re great.”
•Several cries of ‘‘tell us what he
said” arose In the hall.
“Oh, no,” said Dr. Broughton, as he
took his seat, "I han’t remember his
exact words and I wouldn't butcher
them. They’re too classic and too
good.”
Dr. Millard asked Dr. Broughton If
he thought there was a fighting chance
to win.
A Fighting Chance.
“Certainly there is a fighting chance,”
was th, reply. "There Is a splendid
chance for victory."
“Then we are with you,” exclaimed
Dr. Mlllnrd and others.
Dr. W. W. Landrum, pastor of the
First Baptist church, said until he be
came convinced that there was a pros
pect for winning, he would not bind
himself, regardless of what action the
ministers’ conference, the Anti-Saloon
League, or any other body takes.
’’I Just reserve my right ns a plain
American citizen,” he said, “to do os I
think right and judicious. The com
mittee of ten did what It was asked to
do. Business men, who hove been
known to be for a prohibition election
In previous years, and some are known
to be for prohibition now, were ap
proached. and they expressed them
selves ns not in favor of a prohibition
election now.
"Men who in previous years fur
nlshed the sinews of war, say that If
an election Is held now they will not
support us. Dr. White Is now getting
the expression of business men on this
subject. He Is doing this voluntarily
on his own hook.
“I want to see the result of this be-
fore I commit myself. If 1 am con.
vlnced there is a prospect for success
I am for It heart-nnd soul. If. on the
other hand, I am convinced In my own
mind that there Is no prospect, I re
serve the right ns n plain Abierlcan cit
izen to do ns I please."
"Get Wise,” 8ays Bennett.
“Get arise," was the keynote of the
speech of Rev. J. J. Bennett.
“The Good Book says, you know, be
wise ns a serpent and harmless ns a
dove. We want to be wise. ,We don't
wunt to rush Into this thing. We want
to wait until the Iron Is hot and then
strike. And when we do strike, we
must strike with all the force God
gives us.
“I have been In the thick of sev
eral prohibition elections. I know what
I am talking ubout. When we go up
against this liquor crowd, us thorough
ly entrenched as they nrc, we run up
against a rock of Gibraltar. Money Is
going to flow like water.
“Not only will these men have their
own money, but from Cincinnati, Mil
waukee, everywhere', that the ubomlnu-
ble stuff Is made, money will Just pour
Into the city. Wo don’t wunt to go In
and get whipped. If wo do get licked,
then the whole town will he opened
wide, and saloons will spring up like
mushrooms. I don’t want these whisky
devils crowing over me. We want to
do the crowing.
"Why. If (hose people do beat us
whisky soaked crowds will go around
to Broughton's Tabernacle, und hiss
him in his pulpit. They'll call him ‘long
haired devil’ and—”
"Just hold on.” cried Dr. Broughton.
•I’ll be blest if they will,"
Moral Force Is Spent. *
"But my point Is this,” continued Dr.
Bennett. ’’The moral force that fol
lowed this recent uprising has spent It
self. Things have settled down now,
and the uprising wo^'t help us. It's
too late. These whisky men won't be
ashamed to corral the negro voters and
lead them to the polls now.
"In the recent gubernatorial cam
paign—and I don’t mean to bring poli
tics Into this—the president of the An-
tl-Saloon League wrote a card to one
of Georgia's newspapers saying he whs
In favor of n certain candidate, because
with the carrying out of his platform,
the negro would, be effectually pre
vented from voting.
"Then, said the president In his card,
the League could sweep the state for
prohibition. These were wise words.
Wouldn’t It be wise for us to watt until
this administration Is In and then, the
minute this law goes into effect, start
the prohibition election? ,
“Let’s not go In like hair-brained en
thusiasts. J-et's be wise.”
Other ministers expressed themselves
as favoring the resolution, and it was
ndopted Without a dlsentlng voice. The
resolution Ls as follows:
The Reiolution.
■•Resolved,' That It It the sense of the
Atlanta Baptist Ministers' Conference
that Atlanta should hold a prohibition
election as soon as arrangement* can
be made and pledges the Anti-Saloon
League Its best efforts- In helping to
bring It about."
The discussion and adoption of the
resolution followed the regular weekly
inei tlng of the Baptist ministers of the
