FAYETTEVILLE NEWS, FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA. From office boy to bishop In the Methodist Episcopal church is the rec ord held by the Rev. Dr. Charles L Mead, for the last six years pastor of Trinity Methodist church, Denver. He was named a bishop at the general conference of the church at Des Moines. Doctor Mead was born in Vienna, N. J., in 1868, the son of the Rev. and Mrs: Joshua Mead. At the age of six teen, after graduating from a prepara tory school, he gained employment with the Merchants’ National bank of Hackettstown, N. J., ns an office boy, where he remained for three years, when he decided to take up the min istry. While attending New York uni versity he became a football star. He was also on the university basebal’ nine. Bishop Mead was graduated from New York university in 1806 and later from Drew Theologicul seminary. After being ordained he was awarded the doctor's degree from Syracuse uni versity. He became pastor at Newark, N. J.; HobokeD, N. J., and Baltimore, Md. Before going to Denver, six years ago, he was pastor of Madison Avenue church, New York city. He was asked to accept service with the overseas Y. M. C. A. with a promise that he would be sent to the front. He sailed for France early in April, 1918, where he remained for six months. As a Y. M. C. A. chaplain he served on all fronts and traveled throughout France in the interest of the soldiers of the A. E. F. Most of his time, however, was spent with the Sev enty-seventh and Seventy-eighth divisions. "Whats the matter with Alaska?” bids fair to take the place of the his toric inquiry regarding Kansas. Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., was asked this question the other day in Washington, thus: “Governor, what's the matter with Alaska? Some people refer to it as the most bedeviled, harassed and gov ernment-pecked possession of the Unit ed States. We have always been un der the impression that the Alaskan country was rich in gold, silver, cop per, coal, timber, fine agricultural lands and other vast natural re sources and therefore ought to be mak ing rapid strides in advancement along all lines. Yet we understand it is neither progressing nor even standing still, but is actually going backward. What’s the answer?” “There is absolutely nothing the matter with Alaska,” was his quick and earnest reply. “We have every thing that goes to make a solid, permanent community. We have all the precious and commercial metals, the coal and oil possibilities, timber in plenty, the world’s greatest fisheries, agricultural and grazing lands and a small but prosperous population. “There is, though, something radically wrong with the management The whole government of the territory is a crazy quilt. “The discouraged settler pulls his stakes and packs Ills freight in disgust.” Mead: From Office-Boy to Bishop Queen Can’t Play Second Fiddle Queen Marie of Roumania is too clever to play second fiddle to a pres idential election in the United States. So she and King Ferdinand have de cided to postpone their visit till next spring. King Ferdinand says he’s busy to come this year. "After Queen Marie and I visit Bessarabia and pay official calls at some European capitals,” sold the king, "we will be able to plan our trip to America, to which we are both look ing forward with great pleasure.” Queen Marie, however, remarked that the American people “would have no time to receive a queen while busy selecting a president.” “I am afraid,” she continued, “I should be in the way If I went to your country in the midst of a national po litical campaign. As practical people you must be more interested in presi dents than in queens. I think next spring would be a better time to go States The General Federation of Women’s clubs has invited its guest and offers have been made by railroad officials for our throughout the country.” The Macedonian Cry for Economy 1(D Wettern Nrwipawr Union’ Senator W. H. King of Utah (Dem.), Is active in any debate on matters of economy. He said recently in a debate on the proposed budget system, in part: "We have believed that our re sources were limitless and that no im providence nor extravugance coifld jeopardize nor endanger our future. We have regarded our country as vast in area and unrestricted in power. We have employed the microscope. We have insisted upon doing big things in a big way. We have op posed conservation and economy and thrift and a jealous regard for the small things whether they were mate rial or abstract.” This characteristic is pre-eminent ly American and has found expression in our private lives, in our business af fairs, and In our administration of our municipal, state and national govern ments. This view, which has become a national trait, has developed a spirit of prodigality and extravagance. \Ve have not worked Intensively nor applied ourselves with the scientific and in vestigating spirit to the details of life. “There must be a radical change among the people. “The curriculum of our school should be so modified as to impress upon the coming generation the imperative necessity of tin 1ft and the dignity and Mcmlnrsg of labor.” j STATE MEWS ITEMS i Tifton.—Although work for the first year at the Coastal Plain Experiment station is necessarily largely work of preparation, it being necessary to clear the land, erect needed buildings, strong fences, etc., despite the scarcity of labor and the high price of building material, the preliminary work has made good progress, and quite a lot of experimental work has been done. Brunswick. — W. L. Wright, the young white man who forged a check on a local merchant a short time ago, and who was captured after a lively chase, entered a plea of guilty in the city court and was sentenced to serve eight months on the chaingang or pay a fine of $100. As yet the young man has been unable to pay the fine. It is understood that lie is wanted in other cities on a similar charge. Savannah.—Mrs. J. D. Boney, con victed in the city court several weeks ago of shoplifting, has withdrawn her application for a new trial and has decided to accept her sentence of one year at the state farm at Milledge- vllle. She will he taken soon to begin her sentence. J. D. Boney, husband of the convicted woman, who was him self convicted of violating the prohibi tion law and sentenced to a year on the county gang, lias not withdrawn his plea for a new trial. This will be argued before Judge Rourke Savannah.—General predictions here of advances in rents the coming fall are discussed everywhere in the city. It is said that dealers generally ad mitted that over the country rentals would be raised to make investments, at present increased cost of construc tion, yield 7 or S per cent. Several measures designed to prohibit extor tionate and unjust rent charges have been prepared and will be given the Chatham members of the legislature for presentation at the approaching term of the Georgia general assembly. “COTTON CROP IN DANGER” Boll weevil wrecked homes and farms in West.

STELL, Clerk Superior Court. it fi k ■Mi What a lot of argument there used to be aboyf a woman driving an automobile T ODAY she can “make a train” or fix a tire as well as anybody. As soon as a luxury becomes a necessity the point of view changes. II Two or three years ago you would have listened to more varying opinions about tires than you could shake a stick at. Mileages, construction, treads and whatnot. It*s different now. Tire users are working towards a unani mous feeling. You express it one way— the man down the street another. But sifted down it amounts to this: That the only way to settle Select your tires ac cording to the roads they have to travel: In sandy or hilly coun try, wherever llie going is apt to be heavy — The U. S. Nobby. your tire problem is to get a tire of known value and stick to it. Ill We recommend and sell U. S. Tires because their value is known. There’s no guess about it. It was the U. S. quality policy which led to the per fection of the straight-side automobile tire, the pneumatic truck tire—two of the greatest additions to tire value that have ever been made. As representatives of the oldest and largest rubber con cern in the world, we are in a position to tell you something about tire values. Come in some day and talk to us. For ordinary country roads—The U. S. Chain or Ueco. For front wheels— The U. S. Plain. For best results—every where—U. S. Royal Cords. United States Tires REDWINE BROS., Fayetteville, Ga. S. J.
