Athens. Ga. , COITTBOLLIMO MOO CIOLEBA One of the most destructive diseases from which swine suffer Is hog •hol ers. It is a thoroughly insidious dis ease. and. as a rule. its presence Is not digeov'ered until the hogs begin to die. Then it is often difficult to do as much towards Its ••ontrol as could have been accomplished at a much less cost and with practically no loss of animals if the work had been undertaken at the regular time. Last year the people of the United States sent away 500.000.000 pounds more of pork products than ever before in the history of the country. It is certain that we will be asked to send not less than 500.000 pounds more in ItlT than in 19‘1<. It is absolutely es sential that we provide these products for the use of Aur own armies and the allies with whom we are fighting. The supply of hogs has been greatly re duced since the war began, and while special efforts are being made to in crease the numbers in the United States, there is stil a falling off in the gross number available for slaughter as compared with conditions which per tained at the outbreak of the war While we have made considerable progress in the use of preventive serum, and thus reduced the losses from hog cholera, there Is much more which we can and should undertake to do in this direction. It is probably not overstat ing the case to say that we could get nearly all the additional % pork we need in ’IMS if wc used serum as skillfully as is possible to insure the life of out hogs and prevent their being attacked by the deadly scourge of cholera. Many farmers say they will not treat their hogs until they are attacked. It is then too late to prevent serious Inroads Into the herd. For a long time people de bated about the advisability of life In surance. and then it gradually came to be the general opinion of all those peo ple who had dependencies to take suf ficient insurance to afford at least a partial protection to their family in case of sudden death. Now a great man} people take Insurance for the purpose indicated. Our government has adopt ed thi« as a policy for the war period, and has provided that soldiers may be insured at a very reasonable cost •• e shotfid therefore regard the use of hog cholera serum not as a special tax upon the farmer and as an expense to be avoided, but rather as a life insurance .for hogs and as a wise and judicious tn vestment, not only for the owner/but for the country under the stress of ou> present circumstances. The cost of treating hogs is not as great as some people seem to imagine. The cost can always be reduced to a minimum if the treatment is applied at the right time. In case of young hogs it need not cost more than 15 cents; witn older animals the cost may run up to as high as 75 cents. The young pigs should therefore be treated as promptly as pos sible. for they are the ones most hkelj to be affected, and if treated at the right time their lives are almost certain to be saved; hence the use of serum is a wtse end judicious practice. Serum is now manufactured in Georgia by the State College of Agriculture and Is attributed at a cost of one cent per c. c. through the office of the state vet erinarian in Atlanta. You can obtain in formation about how to use hog cholera serum from your county agent or yonr state college of agriculture If you live In another state, write your college of agriculture nr your experiment station end they will be pleasft to co-operate with you In fighting this terrible scourge of the porcine race. Do not delay, for hog raisers do not wish to be character ised as slackers in this time of their country’s need, and the man who now falls to protect his hogs when most of the state governments have provided an easy and comparatively cheap way of doing it should not resent It if he is called a slacker, because if his hogs die oi cholera he is -aking away from.the na tion’s valuable and essential food suppl.. •nd is contributing to a loss which could just as well have been saved if preven tive serum had been u.-ed at the right time In the case of those who have failed to familiarize themselves with the situa tion.’it may be proper to state that some of the principal symptoms of cholera are as follows <when any of these seems to appear in the herd no time should be lost In using serum, because each hour | PEA and BEAN Huller M Y _ CsyecHy 3»• < *••*- I 3 TfdWlb S Dearing: H<M riHwUn*- rt__ QCSSR *iU Urm' Raes. kwa*.

NAME Poat Office ... t »f delay is almost certain to be followed by fatal results): One of the most com mon symptoms is loss of appetite. The hog wishes to get off by Itself. It loses all its bodily vigor and lies down in the corner of the pen. There Is generally a rapid loss of tlesh. and the breathing be comes short and hard. Naturally there Is fever, and it runs to rather high tem peratures at times. The eyes are af fected and become very sore and filled with matier and chore is a characteristic cough. In view of these conditions the body becomes greatly weakened, and as a rule, the animal becomes much consti pated. This condition is often followed by marked and persistent diarrhoea or looseness of the bowels. Animals thus affected should be immediately separat ed from well hogs and quarantined. *Ali the balance of the herd should be treat ed with scrum and removed to a new location. Animals which die should be burned or buried to a good depth. This is very, very Important, because most people imagine that after the disease has been brought under control that it will be all right to again use the infected quarters. As a result there is a fresh outbreak of cholera and additional losses. In preventing cholera the most effec tive remedy is the injection of what is known as hog cholera serum into the arm pit and fold of tlanks of young pigs, and into the loose tissues behind the ear of large hogs. A hypodermic syringe should be used for this purpose. Absolute sanitation must be observed. Directions for using the serum are found on the bottles containing the same and any one who will read these directions carefully and follow- them oat to the letter should be able to in ject it int</ their hogs successfully and avoid abscesses. If abscesses form it is due to the lack of proper cleanliness and sanitation. The rational use of dis infectants will avoid this trouble. When abscesses do form they should be opened and washed out with a disinfecting so lution. Some of the things to be observed in fighting cholera are to keep the hogs on your own land; do not borrow breding animals from other farmers or lend your own stock. If this is done quar antine all such animals for thirty days before bringing them in contact with the home herd. This same suggestion applies to the purchase of additional breeding stock. The free use of Hine and disinfectants in and about the quar ters occupied by the hogs is a very de sirable practice. When cholera appears use serum. It is not a cure but rather a preventive treatment but if it Is promptly injected it might save many animals which would otherwise be lost. Remember that hogs in a good healthy condition liberally fed and kept In clean quarters will show 'much greater re sistance towards cholera than those which are in a weakened condition and infested with lice and worms. TREATING OAT SMUT WITH FOR MALDEHYDE. A. E.. Hoschton. Ga.. writes: 1 would like tu know boa to treat seed oats for smut. I have five or ten bushels of oats I would like to treat. . In treating smut in oats or other ce reals it is best to clean the grain which l you intend to plant very carefully by running it through a fanning mill. Next secure a pound of formaldehyde and dis solve tn fifty gallons of water. Then spread the oats or other cereals to be treated out on a clean, hard floor, or a tarpaulin will answer>very -well. Sprin kle the solution over the grain, mixing and stirring it thoroughly so -as to in sure each individual grain being covered. J The solution may be distributed with a watering pot to advantage. Aftfcr treat ; Ing. shovel the grain into a compact heap and cover with a canvas or sack. Allow it to stand two or three hours, spread out and dry and iMant. One gal lon of the above solution should be suf ficient to treat about three bushels of grain. This may be regarded as an al most certain remedy if properly used. INCREASING LIVE STOCK PRODUC TION IN GEORGIA. I. S. M.. Rupert. Ga.. write*: We arc starting a ‘J-OXI-a-r* stuck farm. We have alont 15U head of lugs, and only abort 12 heart of cattle, but are expecting a shipment from Texas within the next tew days. Be want to put 2uo m-rex in Bermnda as soon aa possible. We would like yonr artviee in regard to feeding velvet bean*, the use of raw ground pliox (rftate mek. and the ua* of lime. \Ve have fed velvet beans with con siderable success to cattle and hogs and to work stock as well. We believe that one of the best ways of feeding beans to hogs is to soak them for about twenty four hours. The hogs will then elimi nate the hulls themselves and will thor oughly masticate the beans. There is some objection to using the coarsely ground beans and hulls together as the hulls are so hard they may lacerate the Intestines. In feeding velvet bean meal without the hulls we have found it good practice to use with it an equal amount of corn, or say. one-third of corn or one-third bran. These rations have prov en satisfactory with hogs. In feeding dairy cows xec have used velvet beans exclusively, nut are inclined to think be’trr results will be obtained if some other grain is added. Where velvet beans •'an be obtained in. large quanti ties at reasonable cost, they can be used sot feeding animate brought in :rom Texas bv ’imply soaking them gitid letting the animals eat them ad libitum during the feeding period. At the end of ihe feeding period it will probably be ti'-cessary to feed a concentrated ration for about thiriy days. Bermuda sets mav be put out in the late spring or early summer. There is probably some danger of them bring killed by freezes If set out now. bnt situated as you are we would be in- THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1917, elined to set them out Immediately. You might scatter them over the ground from a wagon bed. and then rolled them in. The ground should be well pre pared before scattering the sets. It is important that the sets be rolled into the ground. You may use seed if you prefer. About five or six pounds should he sown. Seed only, in the spring. We can not advise the use of raw rock phosphate on soils deficient in vegetable matter. <>n lands which have been liberally enriched with yard man ure it may give fairly satisfactory re sults. You should use at least 1.000 pounds per acre and be willing to wait some time for it to show its effect. For* immediate results under crops requir ing phosphoric acid, we are still dispos ed to advise the use of acid phosphate. Lime could b e used on your soil to some advantage. One to two tons of the raw crushed rock could be used. We wouldi prefer to use the lime previous to the planting of the seed. Lime is not a fertilizer. It is a corrective of acidity in the soil and exerts a very and beneficial influence thereon. BALANCING UP A RATION FOR HOGS. 11. C. 8.. Junction City. Ga.. writes: 1 would like to have a balanced ration for ten pigs ttn> months old to be made of peanut meal, whole wheat ground like corn ami tankage. How much tankage should be used? If situated as you are we would make a mixture of one-half peanut meal and i one-half graham flour and to each 95 1 pounds of this we would add five pounds 'of digester tankage. In extreme cases you may use as much as ten pounds of digester tankage. It is not necessary, however, for you to use digester tankage with a combination such as you have in dicated. as both peanuts and graham • flour are high in protein. Hence, you ■ can save the tankage or else dispense with the use of graham flour, which, ac- ! cording to our opinion, should be resefv -Icd for human consumption. Even a com bination of peanuts and corn will not make necessary the use of tankage. ; Young hogs confined to pens should ■of course be supplied with plenty of mineral matter, such as ashes, ground raw phosphate rock, lime and charcoal. ■ Pigs at the ages indicated require liberal rations of protein. If you can secure skimmed milk and rich slops from the 1 kitchen which are free from soap pow ders and broken dishes, we advise that ‘ the grain ration be reduced to the form |of a thin slop before it is fed. DESTROYING WEEVILS IN CORN CRIBS. B. E. Co., Atlanta. Ga.. writes: Wo are planning te treat a <-<>n*i<ierable quantity of com with carbon bisulphide tn an ef fort to prevent weevils and other insects from destroying it, and would like to have directions for its use. Corn may be treated with carbon-bi sulphide for the destruction of weevils at a reasonable cost and with eminent satisfaction. The work must be done in the following manner to prove effective: First, place the corn in a comparatively tight bin or crib. You may store a con siderable quantity of grain in this crib, say as much as thirty-five bushels or more. Next, secure a pound of carbon-bi sulphide. pour it out in shallow dishes and place on top of the corn. Then cover the crib with a tarpaulin or old carpet, or anything which will prevent the gas frpm escaping. The gas is heavier than the air and will readily penetrate to ev ery part of the container. Carbon-bi sulphide. as you know evaporates very quickly on exposure to the air. The cover should he left on for .several hours, then removed and expose the grain to the air so as to thoroughly get the odor out of it. If the work is prop erly done this treatment will effectively destroy the W’eevils. It may be necessa ry to repeat the operation once or twice through the season in order to keep wee vil damage in check. Carbon-bisulphide will not injure the hands or clothing. It is, however, read ily inflammable and great care should be taken In handling it so as not to let it come in contact with fire. It is gener ally considered the best practice not to store carbon-bisulphide in farm build ings. Any other grain attacked by wee vils may be treated in practically the same way. The rule is as indicated, one pound of carbon-bisulphide to one ton of grain. It is presumed of course that the corn in question is shucked. Youu should also remember that if the carbon-bisul phide is used in bins that 1 are not fairly tight, a larger proportion will be found necessary, say about one and a half pounds to one ton of grain. FERTILIZING VALUE OF VEL VET BEANS. C. H. S.. Thomnon. tin., writes: With velvet beans eelliug at twenty dollars a ton and acid at SIB.OO a ton. we can make a fertilizer cheaper than anything quoted on the market. What do you think of thia combination ■« a fertilizer, and in what proportion should they be mixed? Any material which will furnish live stock food should naturally be fed -be fore it is used for fertilizer. It is a very great waste for us to'apply velvet beans directly to soil when they can be fed so acceptably to all classes of live stock on our farms. As a matter of fact, if the beans atV fed and the manure prop erly preserved, we can return to the soil the greater part of the plant food the beans contain. Velvet beans without the hulls con tain approximately 79.8 pounds of nitro gen, 20 pounds of phosphoric acid and 34 pounds of potash per ton When the bulls are ground with the bean’ the amount of nitrogen falls to about 56.8 pounds, the phosphoric acid to 16 pounds and the potash to 34.4 pounds. There will no doubt, be some variation from these figures, as they only represent a few analyses. The combination of vel vet beans without the hulls with an equal amount of phosphoric acid would give a formula, as you can readily sec. rontalnine only about 40 pounds of ni trogen. 170 pound* of phosphoric acid and 17 pounds of potash per ton. This formula would contain about 2 per cent of available nitrogen. 8.5 per cent avail able phosnhor'e acid end .75 per cent of available nota«h We would consider this formula rather iow in nitrogen fo’’ most of the crops grown in Georgia. It contains, however, a fair amount of phosphoric acid, bv* is low in potash. Owing to conditions which the war has brought about, it is verv difficult to ov> tain potash irom any source And three fourths of a nound would be better than no notash r.t all. There are no reasons why vol'o’ beans sbounl *not be used for fertiltxinr purposes save the obje<-- | tlon to npnivlng good animal food to I the soil. On the other hand, a mixture containing cottonseed meal will run con- | slilerably.higher in nitrogen, say a lit-| tie over 3 per cent rather than 2 per cent. There will be alko a slight in crease in phosphoric acid. one could count on using velvet beans for fertiliz ing purposes probably with the same degree of satisfaction as cottonseed I meal, provided you take into consider - i tion the difference in the amount of i available plant food these two concen trates contain. ■ APCIITQ KEROSENE Much I ” burner Makes Any Stove a Gas Stove Free Sample to Worker* fir sJSeaSUB. £ Given every home a can ntovr.

Me ONE WOMAN’S By Carolyn I STORY 1 Beecher CHAPTER CXXIV. MRS. MULHANY was much older than I, but one forgot her age when with her, she was so young in spirit. Her interest in all that per tained to you was so obvious, her de light in living so frank and undisguised. I counted her as one of my dearest friends, ;wnd cherished her visits accord ingly. During the day she surprised me by telling me something of her life. Wheth er she mistrusted my unhappiness, or had heard some whispers concerning Robert and Phyllis Lawson I had no way of knowing. But I think it was her own woman’s intuition told her I needed help, and she, in her sweet way, tried to give it. "Yoif will perhaps be surprised, deaf-, when I tell you that I have been mar ried twice. The first time to a young man whose good looks and suave man ners captured my girlish fancy. He was, had been, very wild, but I thought he would settle down when we were married. "Oh, Margaret, how I wish 1 could tell every young girl never to marry a man thinking she can reform him. It is such a pitiful mistake. I, of course, failed. He did not settle down; just the opposite. His father died soon after we were married. He left a little money and my husband soon began to squander both It and himself. My dear, I have never before spoken of the gradual dis giist, the horror I soon felt fbr him. The only saving grace was that he was seldom with me, 1 was young. I loved life, but before I had been married a year I would gladly have died to escape him.” "But why didn’t you divorce him?” 1 asked. I had listened with attention, mixed with astonishment. It did not seem possible that the sweet, middle aged woman sewing so industriously could be talking of herself. "That never once entered my mind,” she answered. “I was old-fashioned, I guess, even then, young as I was. I am old-fashioned still. Those whom God hath joined together, is to me sacred. A sacred obligation that only God can break. I never thought of leaving Har ry, althought I have no doubt Ije often eonsideredgridding himself of me. Thank God on your knees, Margaret, for the husband God has given you. a good man. and a .gentleman. Without these attribues in her husband no woman of refinement can be happy. Pray God, dear, that you may never know— be subjected to the treatment, the in dignities that fell to my lot. My hus band of a year took no measures to con ceal his amours from me, nor, tn fact, from any one, rather gloried in them. He was killed returning on the train from a Sunday spent at the seashore with one of the common women with whom he associated.” “Oh, how could you endure it?’ I ex claimed. when she paused. “Did you care for him?” I asked, then blushed at my temerity.’ . . .. “You have no need to blush, dear. 1 am perfectly willing to tell you. No, T did not love him. I thought I did when T married him. but I was only seventeen, and it was a sort of glamour he threw over himself —and me, not love. »1 might have learned to love him in time had he been different, but he wasted the years of my youth, my girlhood, when i should have been happiest. Os one thing I have been glad, always. Young as I was. inexperienced, and unhappy, 1 kept his name untarnished. I never gave cause for gossip when it would have been so easy for me to have done so. Now, you see. lam glad. It never pays, my dear.” I thought of my own experienee with Harper Carleton, and blushed again, this time for shame. “I want you to remember one thing. Margaret," for the first time she laid aside her work and looked earnestly at me, “that no matter what we endure, what happens, life has compensations, ■dear, always if you will look for .them. Mine has been my love for Tim. No matter where he is, how long he is away from me, or how frequently, my love welcomes him back unquestioningly. And in this perfect trust is any wom an’s safety and happinesg. There can be no half measures in that rc-pect. Then no man—a real, worth-while man, I mean, will willingly degrade a woman whom he knows trusts him without question. But. flear. this trust must be true, even in thfe face of circumstantial evidence, that to her seems proof. Give a man, one you love especially, the bene fit of the doubt.” "Oh, but that is almost impossible— when you love!” I exclaimed, thinking of Robert. "No. dear, not. if you love enough.” "Oh, you dear woman!” I felt a sort of worship for her stealing over me. Then I asked, "Did you never have any children?” I wanted to keep her talking. "One. a boy. The day they brought his father in dead he was born. He only lived an hour. That was hard to bear. To lose him before T had known him. But even for that I have learned to say 'Thy will be done’.” “Oh, how brave and good you are.” J said again. Not 11.00, not even 50c. not one cent cost to you under our easy conditions.

One of those sweet silences that only come when spirits accord—• if only for the moment. Then Mrs. Mul hany said: “Come, dear, we have talked long enough. We are getting too serious. Sing a little for me. Then I must be going. Tim phoned he would be home for dinner and I wouldn’t be out when he gets there for a good deal.” A happy little smile played about her lips. "What shall I sing?” "Please sing ,‘Oh, Perfect Day!’ I love the words." I sang if for her. Sang it as I never had before, never will again. Sang it to the brave heart who held that life has compensations for everything, even for such troubles as hers had been. To her who turned a smiling face to the world, and looked upon her days as per fect, because she herself' made them so. "Music hath charms,” has been truly written. What I should have done with out music, and the forgetfulness it brought me, I cannot imagine. At times it thrills me with pleasure, although rarely of late. But many a restless feeling it has charmed into quiet; many a rebellious moment turned into a peaceful one. Mrs. Mulhany left as soon as my song was finished. “Thank you, dear, and, Margaret, don’t you ever forget to be thankful to Him for the gifts He has given you. Above all, thank Him for the gift of a true, manly husband, and your darling children. Cling closely to both, deaf. It is such a little while at best that we are allowed to keep them.” As I turned from her I wondered if 1 could ever hope to possess her faith. Once more my resolution was halted. Once more I was for the moment in clined to hesitate. Cotfld life hold any compensation for me if Robert were false? Upon the heels of this thought came another — j the thought of the great honor which i every one said would surely be conferred _ upon him. "I must hold fast until then." I whls -1 pered, as I went back up stairs, after i bidding Mrs. Mulhany good-bye. But I was weary of the struggle to appear what I was not; tired almost to death of keeping up appearances. "1 may as welt tell you, Margaret, Robert said as he pushed his chair away from the dinner table. "It looks as though I were to be appointed. I can’t i say more at present—but I feel keenly i the honor bestowed upon me. I will talk ; more to you when I have time, now I 1 must go out. Do not sit up for me, I shall be late.” He had spoken hastily, and in a low voice. I don’t know that I had ever seen him show so much feeling. I asked no questions. I could not. All 1 could do , was to wonder dumbly if he were going to see Phyllis Lawson and talk it over with her. M “I am very glad for you, Robert, l managed to say. "You are very young for such a position.” "I know, Margaret, and I feel very proud, and also very humble. For years it has b’eii the goal for which I have striven. But I did not expect to arrive for some time yet. I shall do my best to retain the faith of the people who have trusted me.” He threw up his head and squared his shoulders in a manner peculiar to him when he was strongly moved, or when there was somethin/ ahead of im whic was particularly difficult. But he showed no inclination to dis cuss, even *to mention the matter of his appointment to me after that firs? short explanation. Os course, I heard of It from all my friends, who wondered if I would care to be te wife of a man so popular, and still others expressed their envy of me, and marvelled at my lack of enthusiasm. Had they known that I did not expect to share the honor they were to confer upon Robert, but was only waiting, try ing to hold fast until It was over. I ex pect they would, one and all. have been scandalized. Had they known with what misery, what agonized thoughts I looked forward to my future they would surely have pitied me. I tried several times to introduce thd subject, but Robert only answered in monosyllables. When I pressed him, ne said: "There’s an old saying you have doubt less heard, Margaret: ‘There’s many a slip between the cup and the lip.’ Sup pose we wait until my appointment is sure before we discuss it further.” "Oh, how can you be so cold and in different about everything!” I exploded, moved out of my usual restraint when with him. "Haven’t you a spsrk of feel ing about anything left in you?” Robert looked at me in amazement a moment before he replied quietly: "Perhaps. Margaret, I have more feel ing than you give me credit for.” CHAPTER CXXVT ROBERT was appointed judge as all our friends had prophesied. He showed no particular elation; in deed he took it rather sooerly. and very I seriously. I tried to. gossip a little with him about it, but while he an wered my questions, he plainly showed that he preferred not to. "Your time will be your own now, . ■’nd you will oe able to be at home more often,” I ventured. "With such large salary, you will be able to give , >ore time to the social side of life, our living will be ensured.” "Don’t bank on seeing too much of re. Margaret. I have much work to 10. much in connection with the ap •ointment to learn. There are many dings which will require much thought nil study.” "At leas’ your evenings will be yours to do with as you wish!” I pV cisted. "perhaps," and that ended ,the con versation. . His judicial honors sat heavily on him at first. This I knew from bis manner, although he never talked of He grew more absent-minded when a, home: le»s than ever inclined to talk of the things pertaining to everyday affairs. with Bruce as an exception. He never was too busy to spend an hour with his son, to explain anything to him. and many times has he turned back at Bruce’s call after he had started for the office. He attended several dinners given him immediately after his appoint ment, but even when they were over with he seemed always to have an ■ xcuse for remaining out. I remem ber one day in particular—remember it because I lost my temper. 1 had told Robert in the morning that a Mrs. Keith, a woman of whom I was very fond, was to dine with us. and asked him to please be early. About 6 o’clock the telephone rang. I hastened to answer it, a sinking feeling in my' heart telling me that it was Robert, that he was not com ing home. “Hello! —is that you, Margare*T "Yes.” "ft will be impossible for me to be at home for dinner.” he was direct a« usual. "But Robert! Have you forgotten that Mrs. Keith is here?" "No, I haven’t forgotten. Present my compliments to Mrs. Keith, please. Tell her I am sorry not to be wit you.” T heard the click of the receiver :. he hung up. I knew lie had done to prevent any further discussion. Angry tears filled my eyes. Not much because he had not come home as at the manner of his refusal. Hl.' coldly polite tone had cut me like a knife, so uncompromising was it. As a rule I enjoyed Mrs. Keith’s com pany. She was a bright, wholesome woman, very entertaining and attractive But that night I was so preoccupied, my mind so entirely on Robert, his re fusal to come home and the probable reason, that she sensed something wrong and left soon after dinner. "I had intended to beg for some mu sic,” she told me, "but you look very tired, and I will wait until some other time.” "I am tired," I acknowledged, and I did not urge her to remain. Although after she left I sat at the piano for hours trying to forget my misery and un happiness. It was midnight when I went upstairs. It was after 2 o’clock when Robert came In. “Did you have a pleasant evening with Mrs. Keith?” he asked at break fast. I had not spbken the night before ! and he had thought me asleep. "She left immediately dinner was, I over,” I replied. Then, unable to control ! myself, I burst out, "Why didn’t you ; come home? What did you have to do ’ that you couldn’t come when I had a I guest, and asked you particularly to be iat home? Is is bad enough to so neglect me when lam alone. It is unendurable when people know it.” "I told you to present my excuses, did I not?” he stiltedly replied. “That was entirely sufficient.” "You may pretend to think so, but I do not. I take it as a deliberate insult to myself as well as to my guest.” And I I flung out of the room. The angry tears' were very near, and as always, I would not allow Robert to see me cry. I was immediately ashamed of my outburst, and tried to compose myself. I had determined never to show resent ment of his neglect, and was piqued that I had allowed myself to break my resolution. I listened as he came up the stairs, hoping he would come in and, say goodbye to me before leaving for) his office. And when I heard him go; into Bruce’s- room across the hall and; heard their voices I held my breath, .so anxious was I. J but Robert made no move to come to me, and I was too proud, too chagrined to go to him. In a moment I heard the, front door close. I crossed to the win dow and watched him until he was out of sight. But he never once turned around; never once looked back. “Would he have treated Phyllis Law son so cruelly?’ I asked myself as I turned from the window, the unshed tears smarting under my lids. SO. Mil COHFEHENCE GETS DOWN TO BUSINESS I BY W. M. PRYSE. (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) -I ALBANY’, Ga.. Nov. 14. —Promptly at 9 o’clock this morning in the spacious municipal auditorium where its meet ings are to be held. Bishop Warren A. Candler, of Atlanta, called the South . Georgia conference to order for the purpose of holding its fifty-first annual , session. He conducted the opening de votional exercises, offering a fervent prayer for divine guidance in the church ; and for God’s blessings upon the na- j tlon in this day of stress and strife. An earnest and eloquent address on ' the spirit and work of the ministry was delivered by the bishop, the fact being emphasized that back of all humanity's trouble is sin, and that the only reme- • dy for sin is grace. No reformation, he contended, will meet humanity’s needs. God only, through Jesus Christ is sufficient for that. At the request of the bishop. Rev. W. F. Smith, for many years secretary of the conference, called the roll, but few absentees being noted. The organ ization of the conference was perfected I by the election of Mr. Smith as secre tary and the following assistants, T. | H. Thomson and J. A. Smith. The fol- I lowing were elected statistic secretar- , les. C. W. Curry, J. E. Summer and P. I A. Pafford. The call of the roll revealed the tact • that the following members of the con- J ference have died during the year: Rev J. B. McGehee, of Talbotton: Rev. M. A. Morgan, of Louisville; Rev. H. P. My ers, of Waycross; Rev. B. S. Sentell, of Arlington, and Rev. George H. YV alker, i of Ellaville. Fitting tribute will be; paid these at memorial services to be ! held Sunday afternoon.
