METHODIST DELINE TO
“ PREFER UNIOIN LABCOR
" Saratoga Springs, N. Y., May 14.—8 y
a vote of 447 to 280 the Methodist gen
eral conference today eliminated that
part of the report of the commission
on social service which declared that
a preference should be given union la
bor in all matters affecting employ
ment “in so far ag its methods are
just, and in so far as the rights of un
organized men are not infringed upon.”
The paragraph in the commission’s
report relating to trades unions, ag
amended by the conference, reads: ,
- “A sound principle to govern the
church ag an employer of labor would
appear to be that in recognition of the
price being paid by organized labor
to improve conditions of industry, on
account of its general contribution to
the community welfare, every possible
endeavor be made to work with it, in
‘so far as its methods are just and in
80 far as the rights of unorganized men
are not infringed upon.”
The clause intended to commit the
conference to a preference for union la
bor was stricken cut after the most
protracted and animated debate of the
conference.
. Mrs. Hilda M. Nasmyth, superintend
ent of the Amanda Smith home, an in
stitution for negro girls at Little Rock,
Ark., was one of the speakers in oppo
gition to the clause. She objected to
recognition of unions on the grounds
that in the southern states negro me
chanics were refused admission to the
unions and were denied opportunity to
work at their crafts.
Moderation in all things prolongs
tife.

To be more than a mere “‘scrap of paper,’’ a guaran
tee must be absolute—and backed by a concern able
and willing to make it good.
The General’s guarantee is not only absolute; it is
backed by a business operating the world’s largest
roofing mills,and maklng?}onc-thlrd of all the roll roof
ing made in America. That's the guarantee behind

g Roofing .
* The guarantee is for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to ply (1, 2
or 3). There is no evasion about It—no attempt to sub
stitute a_high-sounding something “just asgood.”” Thereis
nosubstitute for areal guarantee. You get an absolute guaran
tee on CERTAIN-TEED because the General knows that
no better roofingcanbe made, Its raw materialsand method
of manufacture are both certified by the General’s board of
graduate chemists, and he knows he’s taking no chance in
%slarantcemg them to you. That's what “CERTAIN
EED’’ means—certified and guaranteed. Experience has
%roven that the guarantee is conservative, and that CER
AIN-TEED will outlast the period of guarantee.
The roofing felt, as it comes bone dry from the rollers, is
%;ven athorough saturation of a special blend of soft asphalts,
the formula of the General's board of expert chemists. Itis
then given a harder coating of another blend of asphalts.
This keeps the inner saturation soft, and prevents the dry
ing-out process so destructive to ordinary roofing. Roofing
is impervious to the elements only so long as the asphalt
saturation lasts. CERTAIN-TEED retains its soft satura
tion, and is in good condition for years after the harder, drier
- kinds have become useless.
CERT.AIN-TEE'D is n*.:v‘d.c"ij.v::,lf?; also in slate-covered shingles.
There is a type of CERTAIN-TEED for every kind of building,
with fizc or pitched roofs, from the largest sky-scraper to the small
est residence or out-building.
CERTAIN-TEED s sold by responsible dealers all over the world,
at reasonable prices. Investipate it before you decide on any type
of roof. '

DECISION IN SMITH CASE
SURPRISE TO LAV/YERS
} Atlanta Ga. May 14 —The decision of
the United States circuit court of ap
peals getting aside Judge Emory
speer's decision of the multimillion
airs James M. Smith estate, which de
cision was rendered yesterday came as
a complete surprise to all the lawyers
in the case. Even the lawyers repre
senting the temporary. administrators
appointed by the ordinary of Ogle
thorpe county who petitioned for Judge
Speer’s receivership to be set aside,
were not hopeful of securing a decis
icn favorable to their side of the case.
Atlanta newspapers interpreting the
general opinion of the lawyers in the
case as a fairly certain index to what
the decision would be, went so far as
to publish stories saying it was be
lieved the court of appeals would up
heold Judge Speer in taking jurisdiction
over the famous estate.
Upsetting all the advance “dope” of
the lawyers newspapers and others,
‘the court of appeals issued a superce
[ deas of Judge Speer’s receivership and
‘ordered the receivers appointed by
Judge Speer;to turn over the esstate
to the temporary administrators ap
pointed by the ordinary of Oglethorpe
county.
The effect of this order was to re
move the estate from the jurisdiction
of the United States district court for
the southern district of Georgia, over
which Judge Speer presides, and re
store it to the jurisdiction of the Geor
gia courts where the litigation origi
nated.
The order of the court of appeals is
effective pending a full hearing of the
case at the regular term of the court
of appeals next fall. In other words.
it is similar in effect to a temporary
restraining order issued by the judge
of a superior court.
SON IS CONVICTED;
FATHER ACQUITTED
Waycross, Ga., May 14.—After be
ing out for ten hours and forty-five
minutes, the jury sitting on the case
of W. W. Patterson and his son, Zed
die Patterson, jointly charged with the
murder two weeks ago of M. Orovitz,
a local merchant, late tonight brought
‘n a verdict of guilty in the case of
‘he younger man and acquittal in the
case of the father.
Zeddie Patterson is only 17 years
old. The jury recommended him to
the mercy of the court. He was sen
tenced to life imprisonment.
ARRESTS FOLLOW KILLING.
Lyons, Ga., May 13.—W. A. Wilson,
charged with the killing of Hampton
Carpenter near Gray's Landing this
county Thursday afternoon, and Joe
Drake and W. A. Mimms, being held
as accessories, are all in the Toombs
county jail awaiting a preliminary
trial te be held here Monday.
According to reports the trouble that
led up to the killing was a dispute
over some wood.
Wilson it is said, shot Carpenter
three times with a revolver, one bullet
taking effect just under the ‘heart, one
in the right arm and one in the stom
ach. Drake and Mimms are being
held on the claim that they furnished
the weapon with which Wilson did the
shooting.

SARAH BERNHARDT PERFORMS

Paris May 13.-—Sarah Bernhardt re
turned today from the front where
she gave six performances in three
days to the soldiers. ;
“Nothing could be more moving,”
said Mme. Bernhardt, “than playing be

parabie event of my life. The warmth
and heartiness of their applause was
most touching. T was delighted with
‘my trip. 1 even persuaded General
B————— to take me to a place near
Font-a-Mousson which is usually bom-.

refused at first, but then consented,
saying, “Since you insist, you
are worthy, madam, to be at the post

AMERICAN MILLS
USE 602,952 BALES
Washington, D. C., May 14—Cotton
used during April amounted to 531,716
running bales exclusive of linters and
for the nine month, 4,760,706 bales, the
census bureau announced today. Last
year, 514,009 bales were used during
April and 4,092,063 bales during the
first nine months of the season.
Cotton on hand April 30 in comsum
ing establishments was 2,006,612 bales
compared with 1,830,970 a year ago,
and in public storage and at compress
es 2,814,897 bales, compared with 2,
848,692 a year ago. .
The usual rule as to the time for
harvesing wheat is that stage at which
practically all the stems have colored,
and when the average grain is to hard
to be easily crushed between the
fleshy parts of the thumb and forefin
ger, but when it still may be indtented
with the finger nail.

@8 HE best Pneumatic
Tire is only as strong
as its weakest part.
Strengthening its stromgest
¥a.rts is as useless as putting a
ifth Wheel on a Wagon.
Yet this is often done to
Provxdp “Selling-feature” and
“Talking Point.””
The weakest part of every
Pneumatic Tire is its Walls or
Sidcs, not its Tread,—its Cotton
Fabric or “Stocking,” not its
Rubber “Sole.”
No price would be too high
to pay for a material that, re
placing Cotton in the Walls of
Pneumnatic Tires, would last as
long as the Goodrich Rubber
Tread could be made to wear.
Neither Silk, nor Linen, nor
any other krown Fabric, yct
discovered is so good, for this
purpose, as Cotton,—and choice
long-fibred Cotton is the best
material thot money can buy
for Tire Fabric.

We then shape this rubber

Tires, with scrupulous care to
have the tznsion on each square
inch of fabric precisely the some.
Chat tension is contrclled by
a machine as sensitive as the eye,
and iafiritely more precise thon

Operative could make it.
To do this work we hove the

The College for Your Daughter
; SIX REASONS WHY.
1. Itis a good college, h%ll;sed in a beautiful, new, clean,
comfortable, modern building.
2. It is your own college—the only State institution of
higher learning in “the southern half of the state—the
State’s newest college for young women.
3. It is a college where health and character are regarded
as first essentials, and where this idea is acted on constantly.
4. Itis a college taught entirely by specially trained teach
ers, where scholarship combines culture and practical use
fulness. -
5. It is a college where money cannot buy social or class
standing; where only character, honest endeavour and duty
done give precedence. :
6. It is free. The student pays only for what she uses
personally—clothing, board, books, etc.; the State pays sal
aries, etc.—the main cost of a college education. The Col
lege makes no money from its patrons, but saves them all
it can. .

3 DESPITE THE “DRY” LAWS
}' Washington, May 14 —Notwithsand
ing the fact that prohibition laws have
become effective in seven states since
July 1, 1915, approximately 7,500,000
gallons more whiskey has been produc
ed in the United States so far during
this fiscal year, ending June. 30, than
ever before. During the same period
the use of beer has fallen more than
1,500,000 barrels, or 45,000,000 gallons
from last year's figures. The total use
of last year ending June 30, it is esti
mated, will be about 60,000,000 less
than it was-in the last fiscal year.
‘An extraordinary increase in the
amount of cigars, cigarettes and to
pacco is reported for the current year.
The tax collected during the nine
months ending March 31, shows an in
crease of approximately $5,000,000 on
tobacco, which includes cigars and
cigarettes, over the last fiscal year.
7 But, —rnotwithstanding ' all
this,—the FABRIC is the part
of the Tire which goes first.
Because the sides of the
Tire do most of the.work in run

of different directions.
