It was recalled that during the Inst prohibition campaign, In which the sa loons were forced out of business, that the women of the city took a great part. They were upon the streets all day and worked herd In mnklng a thorough canvass during the time the polls were open in getting voters to cast their ballots. Impoilible at Present. The fact that they served hot coffee and eoup and other substantial things to the negro laborers In Atlanta, and In this way prevailed upon them to vote against liquor, was mentioned by one of the ministers, und he was of the opinion that this mode of reaching tho voters* was practically Impossible at this time, and that such a canvass was absolutely necessary In a similar cam paign at this time. The regulur meeting hour was con sumed In discussing the different Items on a new blank for the annual reports of ministers. Each item was taken up separately and Its meaning discussed until thoroughly understood by every one present. The unnual reports re lated mainly to the contributions for missions and other charities.

DISAPPEARS FROM ROME AND OFFICE Herbert G. Brantley, 21 years of age, assistant cashier of the.Hayner Dis tilling Company. In Decatur street, is strangely missing from hi* home, near the corner of Castleberry street and Madison avenue, and all efforts to find him have proven unavailing. The young fnan 1* said to be afflicted with a nervous trouble and his family believe that either thi* affection Is re sponsible for his disappearance or that he has met with foul play. He was last neen Saturday ufternoon in the court room of Justice of the Pe^ce Klngsbery In Decatur street. Brantley left the office of the dis tilling company last Wednesday, stal ing that he was feeling III. He went to hi* home and remained there until bat- urday afternoon. He left at that time to go down town and since then noth ing" has been seen or heard of him by his people or his employers. The missing young man has been connected with the distilling cont|»ny for the past three years and has been nonutar with his employers and asso ciates Officials of the company say there’was no reason, y far as they know why he should leave tile com pany ' and arc puxxlcd over the dlsap- BAPTISTS DIVIDED BUT BROUGHTON TALKS ’EM OVER Continued From Page One. let all know Just how we stand right now. “In Twenty-four Hour*.” “I venture tho statement, and I am not boasting, that In 24 hours I can organise a committee of business tnen large enough to start this election, and can get' a good campaign committee. What we want to do Js to get the peo ple with us. “Let (Is arouse the people, and the great tide of their Influence rolling on will make the classes Join In the cur rent or else be drowned. I wish the party were here that heard R. M. Rose conversing on 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 can't remember his exart words und 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 lighting chance," was the reply. “There Is a splendid chance for victory.” “Then we are with you," exclaimed Dr. Millard 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 as a plain American cltlxeh,” he said, "to do aa I think right and Judicious. The com mittee of ten did what It wns asked to do. Business men, who have been known to bo for a prohibition election In previous years, and some are known to be for prohibition now, were ap proached, nnd they expressed them selves as not In favor of a prohibition election now. "Men who In previous years fur nished the sinews of war, say that If an election Is held now they will not support us. Dr. White Is now getting the exp subject. He Is doing this voluntarily, on his own hook. “I want to see the result of this be fore I commit myself. If I am con vinced there Is a prospect for success I am for It heart and soul. If, on the other hand, I am convinced In my own mind that there la no prospect, I re serve the right as a plain American clt. Ixen to do as I please.” “Get Wile," Says Bennstt. "Get wise," was the keynote of the speech of Bev. J. J. Bennett. “The Good Book says, you know, be wise as a serpent and harmless as dove. We want to be wise. We don't want to rush Into this thing. We want to wait until the Iron le hot and then strike. And when we do strike, we must strike with all the force God gives “I have been In the thick of sev eral prohibition elections, I know what I am talking ubout. Whep we go up ugalnst rhis liquor crowd, os thorough ly entrenched ns they are, we run up against n rock of Gibraltar. Money Is going to now like water. “Not only will these men have their own money, but from Cincinnati, Mil waukee, everywhere, that the abomina ble stuff Is made, money will Just pour Into the city. We don't want to go In and get whipped. If we do get licked, then the whole town will lie 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 those people do beat us whisky soaked crowds will go around to Broughton's Tabernacle, and hies 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 Fores It Spsnt. “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 won’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 ti-Saloon League wrote a card to one of Georgia’s newspapers saying he was In favor of a certain candidate,'because with the carrying out of his platform, the negro would be effectually pre vented from voting. "Then, said the president in Ills 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 halr-bralned en thusiasts. Let's be wise.” Other ministers expressed themselves as favoring the resolution, and Jt was adopted without a dlsentlng voice. The resolution is as follows: The Resolution, ."Resolved, That It Is the sense of the Atlanta Baptist Ministers' Conference that Atlanta should hold a prohibition election as soon as arrangements eon be made and pledges the Antl-Baloon League its best efforts In helping to bring It about." The discussion and adoption of the resolution followed the regulur weekly meeting of u: t We Feature Exclusiveness because we know fun well that the man who is mindful of his personal appearance appreciates having his Suit or his Overcoat a bit different to that which is found at ordinary stores. We don’t mean by “ordinary” to speak disrespectfully of legitimate competition; but rather to emphasize the fact that this is a shop away from the ordinary in every particular. We depend on originality, character and smartness, and every garment from this shop smacks of that smartness characteristic of classic tailors.
