PROTRACTED MEETINGS AT THE METHODIST CHURCH Governor Inspects State Troops At St. Simons Island Dr. Marvin Williams of Grace Church, Atlanta, Conducting Revival. Two Services Daily; 11 A. M. and 8 P. M. Song Service Begins Half an Hour Before Each Service. REVIVAL DRAWS 1 LARGE CROWDS g Large congregations attended the opening services of the revival of the Methodist Church Sunday, Dr. J. H. Eakes, Presiding Elder of the South Atlanta District was with the Church for the day and preached at both serv ices, bringing deep conviction upon the people for purity of the home, urging this as essential to salvation, in that every boy or girl had the Di vine Right to obey the will of God, and that heredi'y and environment could not rob them of this right, but a Christ-like environment v could and would contrain them to obey God’s will. The pastor of the church, Rev. George P. Gary, preached at the morn- nig hour Monday, and laid upon the hearts of the congregation the great need of a Spirit filled life. Dr. Marvin Williams, began his work at the night service and he had gripped the people with his deep earnestness and direct ness with which he brings his mes sage to his congregation, and the fea- t ires of his preaching to this hour ave been to arouse his hearers to the fact that they were not living as close to their Lord as was their privilege, but like Peter, were a far off, and in some instances, like Terah, the father of Abraham, having dealt along the way, were dead in Haran. The business houses are being clos ed during this hour of the morning service and the services are being well attended. I METHODISTS BEGIN FIGHT ON DANCING Organized Crusade Has Been Launched Against the Light Fantastic Toe-Tips. Two Great “Social Puri ty Rallies” to Be Held in September. An organized crusade against danc ing was launched Sunday in practical ly every Methodist church in Atlanta. * Pastors preached sermons, denounc ing the dance and appealing to mem bers of their flocks not to chaperon dances or countenance them in any way. Resolutions, adopted recently by the Methodist ministers of Atlanta, were read. They called on the board of educa tion to prohibit dancing in the public schools. a They announced two great “social ' purity rallies’’ to be held soon on the north and south sides of the city by Methodist young people of Atlanta. And they concluded with unquali fied approval of the movement start ed in several colleges to organize “anti-dancing’’ societies. Meeting again at the Wesley Memor ial church, Atlanta Methodist minis ters declared that the recent action was but the first step in the crusade and that, by pulpit propaganda, by mass meetings and by rallies and in every way possible, the full power of the church in Atlanta will be brought to bear to stop Methodists from danc ing and to enlist the sympathy of other churches. The ministers, at their meeting recently adopted resolutions which were given out to the press only in t^»rt, pending their reading in the ■churches, when many pastors made them the basis of their sermons. At the meeting recently it was voted to make the full text of the resolutions public. The resolutions incorporate three main divisions—one directed at Meth odists themselves, one at the board of education, the third in regard to the anti-dancing rallies. ' -m The first part of the resolutions declare that the fight of the minis ters is almost hopelessly embarrassed AIRSHIP SUPREMACY Both Army and Navy To Have Lighter-Than- Air Ships. j Military Airship To Have Many New and Good Features. Regardless of the outcome of the spirited controversy now raging over the comparative advantages of air craft and battleships as America’s first line of defense, both the United States army and navy are to have more lighter-than-air ships—orders for three large dirigibles and 38 observation bal loons having just been placed with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Com pany. Two patrol and scouting airships of 180,000 cubic feet gas capacity will be built for the navy and will be com pleted next spring. A dirigible of similar size but of a special Good year design will be completed, for the army by November. All three will be tested at the Goodyear-Akron air station. The military airship to be built for the army will have many new features of design that makes it the most up- to-date craft in either arm of the serv ice. It will be the first dirigible in America to have its motors in the car instead of in separate power units. Two propellers will be driven by bevel gears at a two to one ratio with transmission placed on outriggers in stead of the motors driving direct to shafts. This will allow the engines to run while the propellers are idle by throwing out clutches, and will also permit propellers to be reversed—a new feature that will permit greater facility in landing. Either motor dan drive both propellers in the event that one motor develops trouble. With both motors inboard, they can be over hauled in flight much easier than if they were on outriggers, as in the present types of aifship. The army ship will be 170 feet long and 45 feet in diameter. It will be powered by two 125 horse-power Aero- marine motors which will operate at 1600 revolutions per minute, but owing to the reduction gear, the propellers will make but 800 revolutions per minute, giving greater efficiency at higher s,tpeed. A speed of 60 miles an hour is expected. The ship’s “ceiling” is 10,000 feet. The gas bags will be of pony blimp shape—“fatter” than other types— thus decreasing head resistance. The car will be entirely enclosed and will house a crew of six, although three men can operate the dirigible for peace-time purposes. The army will use this airship prob ably for border patrol, while the two navy ships will be used for scouting and observation. PANTS FOR GIRLS Now Appearing on Fifth Avenue, New York City. / Ever-Shortening Skirt Fi nally Disappears Alto gether in Fashions. New York, July 19.—Pretty soon when a young fellow goes calling on the light of his life in the cool of the evening, he’ll wonder if he hasn’t made a mistake and sent up his card to the young fellow next door, because‘when she comes down to listen to his line of persiflag she’ll be dressed very much like a college boy with her lily white hands sunk deep in the pockets of her 1921 knickerbockers for street and evening wear. because some of the highest officials in the Missionary societies have been chaperoning, attending and holding dances. The resolutions “cry out in the name of the Lord” to these people for their aid and support. It was stated, by the ministers that a delegation may attend the next meeting of the board of education to back up the resolutions protesting dancing in the schools. It .was further stated that, follow ing the lead of a Baptist college stu dent, "anti-dancing societies” may be organized in other institutions. Governor Hardwick, accompanied by his private secretary, Col. D. B. Blalock, and twelve members of his Staff, visited the camp of the National Guard at St. Simons Island, Sunday.

TIME TO CONSIDER FORD OFFER ASKED Washington.—While approving his “businesslike” tone, the American farm bureau federation recently stated it would study further the proposal of Henry Ford to complete and oper ate the fertilizer plant at. Muscle Shoals, Ala. In addition, the bureau will consider carefully any other offer that may be made to the government by other interests before committing itself, J. W. Howard Coments, presi dent of the bureau, said. “Organized agriculture is interest ed in any business-like arrangement that will cause the dam to be com pleted and secure a cheaper supply of fertilizer,” said Mr. Coments. “Mr. Ford’s offer is exceedingly interest ing, particularly in view of the stip ulation that the fertilizer plant will be operated at maximum capacity and on a basis of only 8 per cent return to his company. “The farmers are interested pri marily in the Muscle Shoals project as a source of. cheaper fertilizer, but they do not overlook'its vast possi bilities in the development of hydro electric power. “We hope congress will take a les son from the war when we found ourselves practically dependent on Chile for nitrates.” Mr. Coments pointed out the ad vantage of Mr. Ford’s offer to keep the plant in condition so that it may be turned quickly to the manufacture of explosives during war. Mr. Co ments said that the bureau will/in sist that the government has com plete supervision over any private interests that may take over the prop osition. Other offers from private con cerns for acquiring the nitrate plant, are expected by the government, Secretary Hoover said recently. Secretary Hoover indicated that there had been some discussions with the Du Pont interests but said there had been no specific proposal sub mitted as yet. A number of chemi cal and power companies, he said, are considering the proposition, but nothing definite in the way of an offer has been determined. Mr. Hoover said that the offers, in addition to Mr. Ford’s proposal, might be made through him or direct to Secretary Weeks, who, he added, has the F6rd proposal under consid eration. Our Country Publisher President Warren G. Harding, country news paper publisher, is in the White House —President of the United States. May he become the greatest of American Presidents. Certainly this newspaper pledges its earnest effort to help him to that end. He faces perplexing prob lems both lat home and abroad, but none so bewildering that it cannot be solved by the application of correct reasoning and honesty of purpose. We have an abiding j faith jn the sound thought, of the American people, and we rejoice because President Harding, as a publisher, need not be taught the value of wholesome contact with his fellow men and women. If he take counsel with the nation he is pledged to serve the great voice will not lead him astray. In the days to come should we offer facts in criticism of his policies it will come because we fear our President may err as a re sult of silence. Our wish is to be helpful, to put at the disposal of the President the best of our thought al ways in the interest of the people to whose service the life of this good man is dedicated. The President of the United States does not represent the Republican party, the Democratic party or any other party. He repre sents America, and we stand for that with face uplifted, with pen. in hand and unafraid. —THE AMERICAN PRESS. Ruin Seen For United States In Sabbath-Breaking PELLAGRA ON INCREASE, SAYS HEALTH OFFICE — C South Shows the Biggest Spread of the Disease. FAYETTE COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION New York.—The United States—all 48 of ’em—are going to be destroyed, wiped out and devastated if they don’t quit breaking the Sabbath. This start ling prediction was made here recent ly by Noah H. Cooper, Nashville’s Sun day blue law champion, who came to New York to observe conditions. “I tell you that in 25 years we will be destroyed,” he said. “Every time I hear a train toot on Sunday it sounds worse to me than a German bomb exploding.” Doctor Cooper said there should be no Sunday newspapers. “I don’t care,” he said, “if they have to cut out five papers a week.” Breaking the Sabbath laws was the direct cause of the world war, too, he asserted.

World’s Cotton Crop. From the best information avail- able ( by the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates, United States ' De partment of Agriculture, the world production of cotton fori the year 1920- 21 is estimated as follows, in bales of 500 pounds gross weight (479 pounds net); United States', 13,366,000; India, 2,976,000; Russia, 180,000; Brazil, 100,- 000; Mexico, 165,000; Peru, 157,000; all others, 400,000; total world, 19 595*- 000. Washington.—The United States is menaced by pellagra, which is spread ing at an alarming, rate, particularly in the Southern States, according to a statement by the Public Health Serv ice. “Peyagra is increasing with alarm ing speed,” the Public Health Serv ice statement declared. “Reports reaching the United States Public Health Service show that the num ber of cases in this calendar year probably will be double those for last year pd in some parts of the South more than double. “One State, for which figures are at hand, reports 1817 cases in May of this year as against 677 cases in May of last year. "The Public Health Service, which last fall issued a warning as to the probable increase this year, is look ing forward to next year i^-ith many forebodings.” Depression in the cotton growing industry in the South has been part ly responsible for the increase of the disease, according to experts of the health service. Hundreds of farmers and farm la borers have been forced to a lower standard of living by the failure of the cotton industry, it was said, and the result has been that they have been made easy victims for the rav ages of the disease.
