CLAIMS HE WAS BRIBED.
Conlcssion of Witness for Frank
Causes Sensation in Atlanta.
The committee of six appointed
by the Plum Street Baptist church,
of which Rev C C Ragsdale is pastor,
to investigate the alleged signing of
a false affidavit by their pastor in
the Frank case, made their report
to the church in flTnference.
The report declared that they,
the committee, had on Monday night
gone to the home of their pastor
and he had admitted to them that
he was guilty of swearing falsely in
the matter, and thereupon tendered
his resignation.
The report testified that Rev Mr
Ragsdale stated to the committee
that in the presence of his lawyer,
Colonel Arthur Thurman, and also
Detective William J Burns, Detective
Tedder and R L Barber, the
affidavit was drawn from him in a
moment of pressing temptation upon
the offer of $200,and that he did not
realize what he was doing.
But, continues the report, when
he did realize what he was doing, he
went to Solicitor Hugh Dorsey on
Monday and told him of the affair.
He did not tell the committee, however,
who offered him the bribe.
He said this conference took place
in Thurman's office.
At the meeting last night at the
Plum Street church, the question of
.acceptance or rejection of their pastor's
resignation was put before the
membership and was accepted. "Let
him who is without sin cast the first
stone" was the disposition of the
attitude of the majority of the flock,
rather than a direct condemnation
of their pastor's deed; but tradition
to oust the fallen and outside sentiment
pressed in upon the little congregation
so strongly that it invoked
a heated discussion as to whether
or not the pastor should be severely
disciplined as is the disobedient
soldier who is sent forth from the
army ranks branded with a dishonorable
discharge.
The discussion ended, however,
with the unanimous acceptance by
the congregation of a resolution to
receive Rev Mr Ragsdale's resignation,
and members present volunteered
subscriptions to pay him his
month's salary.
Several of the members testified
\
that Rev Mr Ragsdale has not possessed
his full mental powers since
being attacked by apoplexy some
time ago, and that his family have
often spoken of spells that he experienced
duriDg which time he was
not himself. The pastor is about
60 years of age. and has grown
children. The charge he has been
tendii.j is not a large one, and his
salary was only $35 a month.
It was reported Wednesday night
that Detective Burns had gone to
Oklahoma on business with the
courts of that State. Wednesday
morning he "checked out" at the
Georgian Terrace, where he has
been stopping. He could not be located
at any of the downtown hotels,
and men at his Atlanta agency office
declared that they could not say
where he is.?Atlanta Constitution.
flealtb a Factor lo Success.
The largest factor contributing to
a man's success is undoubtedly
health. It has been observed that a
man is seldom sick when his bowels
are regular?he is never well when
they are constipated. For constipation
you will find nothing quite so
good as Chamberlain's Tablets. They
not only move the bowels but improve
the appetite and strengthen
the digestion. They are sold by all
dealers.
The Government has recently issued
a new series of postage stamps
which will soon be on sale. There
are five new denominations, viz:
Seven-cent, nine-cent, twelve-cent,
twenty-cent and thirty-cent stamps;
the colors are black, pink, maroon,
light-blue and vermillion, respectively.
The size and shape of the
new issue conform to that of the
present two-cent stamp. There will
also be a change in the system of
issuing and paying postal money
orders, which is considered by the
department a great improvement
over the present system.
London society is now reported to
be ruled by spooks, each member
doubtless furnishing his own family

Most Prompt and Effectual Cure for
Bad Colds.
When you have a bad cold you
want a remedy that will not only |
give reiiei duc eneci a prompt anu
permanent cure, a remedy that is
pleasant to take, a remedy that contains
nothing injurious. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy meets all these
requirements. It acts on nature's
plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration,
opens the secretions and
restores the system to a healthy
condition. This remedy has a worldwide
sale and can always be depended
upon. Sold by all dealers.
Louis Priore, enraged because
Stephen Derivan of Stony Point, N
Y. laughed at him when a loaded
cigar he was smoking blew up in his
face and burned his nose, shot and
wounded Derivan in the neck and
escaped on a stolen horse.
Keep Bowel Movement Regular.
Dr King's New Life Pills keep
stomach, liver and kidneys in healthy
condition. Rid the body of poisons

"I got more relief from one box of
Dr King's New Life Pills than any
medicine I ever tried." say C E Hatfield,
of Chicago, 111. 25c at your
Druggist's.
The reason that so many American
novels are not translated into all
the foreign languages is that they
get in Dutch.
