Bi railing'll am, Ala., April 29.—
Southern Methodists voted over
whelm: ngly Friday for union with
other branches of the denomination,
despite warnings of “secession” by
deep South opponents of afTliation
with northern adherents of tho
church.
.The vote in the 23rd quadrennial
conference of the Methodist Episco
pal Church, South, was:
For unification, 434; against, 26.
The group opposing the “plan ot
union,” already approved by Metho
dist Episcopal (northern) and Meth
odist Protestant bodies, remained
steadfast in its assertion “the South
ern Methodist church will not perish.”
A spokesman for the Laymen’s
Organization for Preservation of the
Southern Methodist church said the
“defeat today was just about what
we expected.”
* ‘We will ask that our counsel be
allowed to present our side of the
case before the judicial council,” he
*aid.
If the council holds unification
legally enacted, the laymen’s group
has announced it would appeal to the
civil courts.
The new church which will have a
membership of approximately 8,000,-
<100 will include six "jurisdictions,’’
five on geographical lines, and one
genernl jurisdiction for negroes.
“Destruction of the Methodist
church in the South,” was forecast
by opposition speaker, who brought
before the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
memorials and telegrams from doz
ens of churches asking that unifica
tion be sent back to annual con
ferences for vote.
Dr. T. D. Ellis of Louisville, flooi
leader of the union forces, forecast
overwhelming victory for union after
failure of an opposition move to have
the prviilege of the floor extended to
Collins Denny, Jr., son of the bishop.
Former Governor Jno. M. Slaton,
of Georgia, chairman of the board of
stewards of the Trinity Methodist
church of Atlanta, forecast the "de
struction of our church,” if unifica
tion is passed, in a telegram intro
duced by Jere Wells, school super
intendent of Fulton ( Atlanta) county.
Wells, lay leader of the North
Georgia conference, asked that uni
fication be sent back to the con
ferences for ratification.
"I know 80 per cent of <)ur mem
bers are opposed to passage of this'
.plan before they understand it,’"
Wells said.

In The Macon Telegraph)
One of the finest turpentine farms
in Georgia is being opened between
Ft. Valley and Roberta. Modern cot
tages are being constructed by the
operators, and negroes are being
brought in from Mississippi and
Louisiana to work the pines. It is
said this is done because of their ex
perience in the modern way of tur
pentining trees. In some of the old
turpentine farms trees were hacked
and sashed and practically ruined by
the untrained operators. Today the
outting is done in a way intended to
prevent injury and to get a maximum

his pine land pays every expense for
his farming operations. What he
makes on his farm is absolutely
without cost to him. Should we Geor

sources and let the fire bug keep us
poor?”
