Mr. Collings, speaking in a ranier-
like manner, declared that Hitler had
restored the pride of tin* German
people, that he has brought them
from the weakest to the strongest
nation in a period of five years and
that he has restored their confi
dnece.
With the proper leadership, he de
clared, Italy was like a knife thru
hot water in defeating Ethiopia, that
Russia went like a knife thru hot
autter in smashing Finland's man-
nerheim line, which he described as
a military marvel, superior to the
Maginot line.
He did not comment at any extent
upon the present hostilities in Nor
way, beyond saying it would perhaps
be a bitter struggle, but time ami
again he predicted the Allies would
lose the war to Germany unless the
United States entered the conflict.
He said there are two things to
fear in Russia—her national ambi-
;, ons and communism, but implored
■he United States to remain out of
the conflict, permitting the Eurnpe-
ms to “stew in their own oil.”
Briefly, he recounted his experi
ence in traveling thru Germany and
Poland and how he was lined up be
fore a Russian firing squad, only to
b P spared and returned to Germany.
Mr. Collings was introduced by J.

Organized Methodism began in
England a little more than two cen-
luries ago, pioneered by John Wes-
ley, who, guided always by his
mother's advice, went to Oxford Uni
versity to prepare for a righteous
life.
Wesley's followers trickled into
the New World, the first in 1760. On
$ept. 2, 1784, Wesley ordained Thos.
Coke of Bristol, England, as super
intendent of American Methodists,
with instructions for him to ordain
Francis Asbury as joint superintend
ent.
Asbury refused to accept ordina
tion unless American Methodists
were granted ecclesiastical inde
pendence to match their .political in
dependence.
Coke told Asbury: “Doctor, we
will call the preachers together, and
their voice shall be to me the voice
of God.” During Christmas week of
1784, 60 unordained preachers imet
quietly for nine days in lovely Lane
Chapel at Baltimore.
Thi s was th famous “Christmas
conference” from which the .Metho
dist Episcopal Church was born.
POULTRY TII’S FOR
MONTH OF APRIL
Some of the most outstanding
peach growers say “we have plenty
of unhurt peaches.” The Hileys are
thought to he hopelessly ruined in
many orchards, by reason of the last
cold spell; but the pessimism Imme
diately following the freeze has
given way to an encouraging optim
ism.
Now the only uneasiness is auout
prices. Thi sc have been satisfactory
in recent years, and the reason as
signed is that Georgia shipped only
5 thousand cars last year, a-, against
18 thousand cars just before the
tree-aestroving era, when 30 percent
of the healing trees were dragged
out of the fields by the roots. Those
were the 1 days when a man with
even a lease on land could borrow
money plentifully to plant as big or-
char as he pleased.
Eight thousand cars are estimated
by some for this year, because many
young orchards are coming into
hearing.
Peaches have built many fine
homes in Middle Georgia, and have
proven the foundation for some good
fortunes, hut the peach grower has
his troubles. He has to fight hard |
against the pests, overloading of
trees, the cold waves, and scarcity
of farm labor. But his old troubles
with commission thieves are prac
tically ended.
Marketing problems have been con
siderably improved; and peaces are
being sensibly advertised, so as to
increase demand. This is something
that was long neglected. The public
didn't know about the virtue of the
peach as a food. Canning was slow
in developing into an industry; and I j
as is usual with everything the!

PRACTICAL JOKE CARRIED
TOO FAR, COURT MAINTAINS
Atlanta—Causing a man to break
his leg is carrying a practical joke-
to far, the Georgia court of appeals
ruled in effect Monday in granting D
P. Johnson Jr., of Greensboro a right-

men.
Johnson, asking $5,853 damages,
charged Davis Pittard escorted him
to a vacant rural dwelling and called
a woman's name, whereupon “a
man's voice answered from the house
and two shots were fired.”
In his petition Johnston asserted
ho “ran in desperation and fear of
his life and fell in a ditch,” receiv
ing a fractured leg.
The Greene superior court dis
missed the suit, hut the appellate
court action reversed that ruling.

Montezuma — Macon county has
gone azalea-wild. Nusery truckmen
who traveled thru the territory these
past two weeks have found that the
thousands of plants they had con
tracted for did not nearly meet the
demand.
Tlie sudden enthusiasm for the
beautiful flowering shrub in Monte
zuma, Marshallville, Oglethorpe and
ideal, started when it was discover
ed that the plant could be grown
successfully this far north.
For years, some general error in
the method of cultivation bad killed
plants put out in the county. Only a
few large bushes are to be seen in
Oglethorpe and Montezuma now, but
in a few years the streets will be
lanes of color and beauty in azalea
time.
One truckman remarked that he
has sold 1,000 plants in Marshallville
and Montezuma in three days, and
that he needed only to draw to the
curb with his truck, to be besieged
by more eager buyers. The garden
clubs of the various communities
have put out hundreds of azaleas in

NEW GEORGIA GUIDE
TO BE PUBLISHED
Georgia farmer attempts his puiblic

elsewhere is better.
Sc Georgia peach growers' wives
bought California peaches while
Georgia fresh peaches were all
around.
it now dvelops that Georgia can
ned peaches are better than any oth
er canned peaches in the known
world. They have proven that they
are not too this or too that. They
are perfect.
Of course, cotton growers’ women
folks are never going to wear cot
ton stockings; they will follow the
style of spending Georgia farmers'
money for the runs and rips in the
so-called silk stuff. But that's style.
And one farmer expressed a great
truth when asked if he didn't get
pleasure and profit out of his mag
nificent scuppernong arbor. No, he
said, we never enjoy what we have.
We are human, and human beings al
ways seek the unattainable. We lose
interest when we get what we went
after.
The Georgia farmer today is mak
ing history. This era will in years
ahead be referred to as the good old
times. Millions of acres of land lie
neglected and unused, but the peach
growers, pecan growers, the cattle
and hog raisers, and those who add
peanuts, tobacco, wheat and oats and
rye, cotton, corn and pasture lands
and enjoy electricity, plumbing in the
tlie homes and barns, refrigeration,
screens in their houses, automobiles
trucks, tractors, farm-all equipment
and hundreds of other blessings, are
living on a plane never known before
in this socalled civilization, or any
other like it.
In spite of the maniacs who seek
glory in war, the United States far
mers are enjoying the blessings o 1
peace and comfort. Of course, they
have their griefs but not to compare
with the trials and tribulations their
forefathers knew.—Macon Telegraph
