4 devoutly wish that the two hundred
thousand readers of The Atlanta Jour
nal oould look in on this religious
movement in Knoiville. I have
much; observation and experience over
very broad fields for thirty yean have
not brought to me the scenes and
incident! which have occurred at the
great tabernacle meetings in KnoxviUsI
for tbo put twelve days. This city
as profoundly and as broadly stirred
as I ever saw any city stirred, and
people being influenced and moved by
the tides of moral foroe and gracious
influences.
There is but little of the sensational
but a great deal of the marvelous,
the miraculous. Whether I preach
the mixed audience or to men only, or
to the women only, the auditorium
which seat perhaps between six and
eight thousand people, is packed and
jammed and they stand all around
The stillness and attention and response
of the audienoe takes the audience un
consciously oyer into the region of the
miraculous.
Knoxville, like all cities has it moral,
its social, its commercial and political
phases. Knoiville, like Atlanta, is not
built on the plan of the New Jerusalem,
nor run in harmony with the Ten Com'
mandments, or the Sermon on the
Mount. To say that Knoxville is worse
than Atlanta, or to say that Knoiville
is not worts than Atlanta is but beg
ging the question. Knoxville has
debauched publio sentiment in
political me. me two parties are
pretty closely balanced and partisan
ship, instead of principle, seems
govern both parties, and patriotism,
which is love of oounty, and the love of
all things that are lovable, seem
have been at low ebb in this Tennessee
city. It til precisely this debauched
sentiment whioh we saw crop out
Atlanta the other day when the coun
cil broadened the liquor limit and pan
dered to the demands of the liquor
crowd rather than to listen to the voice
of conscience or God or of the good
people of Atlanta. - Atlanta is headed.
like Knoiville, to the condition" of
wide-open city, and there is nothing
worse this side of hell than a wide-
open city. When you turn the devil'
gang loose in any. community or city
to revel and rot and feed their gain,
and fill their pockets at the cost of our
boys' ruin and the happiness of our
good mothers, then we have a condi
tion of thing! that makes heaven weep
aud makes the devil appoint a day
thanksgiving. But for the fact that
the devil's gang ever and anon over
shoots the mark and attempts innova
tions for which even debauched publio
sentiment is not ready for, then there
is an awakening of the publio con
science and a revision of publio senti
ment
The gospel sword wielded by a true
soldier of the cross is the other and
greater power to awaken conscience
and revolutionizs sentiment. Public
officials are run and regulated by pub
lio sentiment. The pulpit and the
press are responsible for the sentiment
of any community and whenever senti
ment drops down on the level to
where officials apologise for and pro
tect criminals then somebody is to
blame for sentiment dropping so low,
and those somebodies are preachers
and editors.
But again when the centers havel
been disturbed and the atmosphere stir
red, the hurricane, the tornado, the cy
clone is tbo result. So in our national
and city life a thousand evils live in our
midst and seemingly flourish to the
ruin of our boys and the wreck of our
citizens, and there is no protest but by
some mighty foroe of pulpit or press or
some terrific calamity brought on by
the forces of evil the storm centers
are stirred, then the people rise np in
mighty force and revolution, as well 1
reformation, is the result Office hold
ers can only hold office while sentiment
acqvetoes in the way they ran things,
and the office holder ia as sensitive to
public sentiment as a mad dog is to the
fight of water.
A great religious revival that awakens
conscience and makes the rascal dis
gorge and the bribe taker, Jndas Is-
cariot, carry the money back, and sheer
despair go out and hang themselves,
this is the hope of the world and on
this stateOoi things must we rest all
hope of the cleaning out of the corrup
tion in politics and the degrading prac
tices of society.
No habit or custom or usage among
men can ever make wrong right, and
right wrong. High licensed saloons
never made diunkennesa more respect
able in the sight of God or decent peo
ple. The corralling and regulating of
the 4 "social evil" never lifted a de
bauch or a demi-monde an inch
above the infamy of their sin. No
regulation of gambling, whether it is a
poker game oat of sight, or progressive
euchre game with the cut glass vase
in sight, for which women gamble, ever
lifted gambling up to where the whole
gang was not condemned by God
word when H said : "Provide things
honest in the sight of men." W talk
of "necessary evils." It is a libel on
manhood, and a slander on God to talk
about necessary evils. God don't taks
that thought into consideration when
He tells us, "Whatsoever a man soweth
that shall he also reap," and in spite of
the wrecked lives and the ruined man
hood, the unhappy homes and the
broken hearted wives and others, in
spite of harvests like this year after we
continue to sow and reap, and the only
apology we have to offer for our in
famies is that whatever evils have come
to us were "necessary evils." The
only apology that can be offered for
evil wherever it exists, had its origin in
a lie, and that lie was told by a person
or persons who wanted to practice the
infamies which they called necessary
evils. Yours truly, .

In his annual report to the State
Board of Agriculture, 'just submitted
by Commissioner of Agriculture 8. L.
Patterson, he says the sale of fertilizer

falling off of $3,285.75 the past season,
The sale of cotton seed meal tags in
creased $2,406.14. The board is being
urged to establish a test farm for an
imal. It is stated that all past records
will be broken this year in the number

Scientific American.
Perhaps the most interesting of new
vessels plying the Ohio, Illinois and
Mississippi rivers is one built upon an
extensive s&e for use as a floating
theatre. The seating capacity is for a
thousand people, and there are boxes
for the elite and a pit for the orchestra.
In addition, the vessel is sufficiently
large to admit of numerous sleeping
rooms for the actors, the deck hands
and all those connected with eithjr the
show or the boat. The entire foroe
numbers 40. On the steamer which
tows the floating theatre, besides the
boilers and engines, there is a com
plete electric light plant, besides
kitchen and dining room.
In view of the fact that the long
water route of the floating theatre
carries it into the warmer portions of
the South, the season for the show does
not close until late in the Southern
winter. The entire route comprises
2,500 miles. The boat starts at Pitts
burg and visits the towns of the coal
miners and steel workers along the
Monongehela river. Next it returns,
and goes down the Ohio to the Ka
nawha, thence to Cairo, and later up
the Illinois river to La Salle. Then,
after going back to the Mississippi, the
boat slowly makes its way in the di
rection of New Orleans. The idea of a
floating theatre is not exactly new,
but the extensive scale upon which
it is being conducted and the fact that
it is the drama instead of the vaude
ville programme that is being presented
attract unusual attention. "Faust"
is the production which has been pre
sented this season.
Along the route of the floating thea
tre the towns are often but ten or
fifteen mile apart Therefore, the
Jumps of the boat and its company are
not long ones. On the upper deck of
the steamer is a calliope. Long before
the theatre reached the town in which
it is to show the sounds of this in
strument may be heard. The idle pop
ulation of the river towns at once be
gins to assemble on the wharf. As the
steamer comes within a few hundred
feet of the dock, the calliope is silenced
and a brass band strikes up a familiar
air.' The crowd on the wharf then
grows larger. Many are there awaiting
the first opportunity to secure reserved
seats. When the boat touches the
wharf the sailors, some of whom are
later transformed into actors, make the
vessel fast and put the gang-plank
in place. The scenery is arranged and
the orchestra rehearses while the cook
is preparing the next meal in the
kitchen. The people come aboard and
select ibeir seats, instead of doing so
from a diagram on shore. At night the
theatre is brilliantly lighted by elec
tricity, and a searchlight flashes over
the surrounding territory. The enter
tainment lasts about three hours.
HOISS, IWBBT HOME.
People are often very-fond of senti
mentalizing about "Home, sweet
home," but yet apparently take little
or no trouble to make their homes
sweet
Home is especially the woman's
province, and while her husband pro
vides the material comforts for it, it is
her duty and privilege to create its
special atmosphere of peace and love.
It is the little things, the too often "un
considered trifles" which constitute the
happy home, which should be a wo
man's chief care. To make that home
attractive she would be as mindful of
all sorts of little details, as she used
to be of the prettiness of her toilette
in the old courting days, when she was
so anxious to be pleasing in the eyes of
her lover.
Pretty flowers on the table, a spotless
ly Mean cloth, nicely prepared food,
and herself smartened up for the even
ing, smiling her joy at having him at
home, will compensate her husband for
all the trials and worries of the day.
All this may, and probably will, de
mand some self-sacrifice on the wife's
part, for she, too, has had her trials
She has been as busy in her home, very
ikely, as he was at his offioe, but still,
however, much she is tempted to pour
out her troubles to him, she will be re
warded for her self-control if she holds
them back.
A pleasant word from her will go a
long way to make him forget how tired
and harrassed he feels, and by the time
he has been refreshed with food in the
restful atmosphere of homo, he will be
able to give her the sympathy she wants
in whatever is troubling her.
Some homes are full of sunshine and
happiness, and others with the reverse.
This is not simply the result of riches
or poverty, but of character. Love is
the foundation on which home is built
love between man and wife, parents
and children, but love must be culti
vated. Selfishness is the destroyer of
love, and if self be allowed to get the
upper hand, then sweet temper and pa
tience will soon give way to irritability
and hardness, and home will cease to
be sweet
Home is largely what we women
make it, so if it be not happy, let us
look for the fault iu ourselves before
looking further afield.
Drankesi Men'. Brutal Act.
Beidsville, N. C, June 6 News has
reached here of a brutal act of a drunken
young man at Woodbine, just across
the Virginia line.
Mrs. fink Uoode, a respectable wo
man was shot to death in her own
yard, the shot going through her chest,
Olho DeHart was arrested and given a
preliminary hearing. He was charged
with the crime and sent on to the grand
ury without bail. It appears that De-
Hart was drunk and went to the Goode
home and shot a chicken, and when
Mrs. Goode protested against his con
duct he fired on her, killing her almost
instantly.
Ha then left, but was later arrested,
while making his way to West Virginia.
No one saw the shooting except some
very small children of Mrs. Goode. Her
husband was at work, at a saw-mill
some four milf away. DeHart claims
that the shooting was accidental. He
is about 21 years of age. There is con
siderabl excitement, but no danger of
any violenoe.

Mrs. S. Lindsay, of Foat William, On
tario, Canada, who has suffered quite a
number of years from dyspepsia and
great pains in the stomach, was advised
by her druggist to take Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets. She did so
and says, "I find that they have done
me a rft deal of good. I have never
had any suffering since I began using
them." If troubled with dyspepsia or
indigestion why not take these Tablets,
get well and stay well! For sale by M.

Washington, June 6. At the con

Secretary Wilson said his attention had
been called to the charges of the South
ern Cotton Association that there had
been a "Irak" in the information
gathered by the Agricultural Depart
ment concerning the cotton crop. He
characterized the charges as ridiculous.
It was possible, he said, that somebody
connected with the Department had
been pretending to have knowledge of
the cotton figures of the Department,
but as a matter of fact it was practically
impossible for anybody to obtain ad
vance information of any value.
