DRCUGHT BROKEN
Mcßae, Ga., May 17.—Farming con
ditiens were materially improved in
this immediate section a few days
ago, when the first good rain of the
whole farming season ° fell. Many
farmers had not planted cotton and
some of these who had planted could
not. get it up, owing to the drought.
Corn generally is doing splendidly, as
it does not take so much moist for
this crop. Older cotton has heen
demaged somewhat by the late cco!l
weather, as it is strictly a hot weath
cr plant.
LIGUOR POURED INTO SEWER.
Dublin, May 18.—In the presence of
a crowd of negroes whose mouths fair
ly “watered” at the sight and smell
of nine kegs of cide and three cascs
of whiskey which were poured into
the sewer Ly the police after being
vsed as evidence in blind tiger cases.
There is a great deal more of lhf‘
stuff to be dispesed of in this way as
asoon as all cases are heard. 1
ATLANTA ROAD HOUSES ARE
BECOMING VERY PCPULAR
Atiania, Ga., May 17.—-Atlanta 4nd
Georgia automobilists are going in
for road houses on a scale that hbids
fair to make these establishments far
more profitable thaa the (’df)wm,u'-.vn
cafes and soda fountains. And the
remarkable fact is that intoxicating
heverazes are not the thing that
draws them to the rcal house resovts
—but old-feshioned v 0 chicken
done up brown and tender in country
syle, with plenty of rice and creem
gravy on the side, and hot bisenits
streaming with yellow country butter.
-~ “We lead in fried chicken, country
nam and eggs,” is the claim of a road
house out from Atlanta. “Cur cook
has been in the husiness 21 ygals.
'She is a real Southern darkey anf ro
ody can beat her.”
After the hot chicken suopers, the
automobile parties inddige themselves
‘n dancing to the music of phone
graphs on the road house verandes.
Nething stronger to drink éan be'had
than tea, coffee and milk. ‘
WOODPWARD MAY ENTER RACE.
Atlanta, CGa., May 18.—Mayor Jzun‘zs‘
(3. Woodward of Atlanta, may enter

has been freguently mentioned in this |
conneaction, but most people ;!:ungin-’.!
‘L was a joke. It seems now that “l'n-i

‘he subject that he is forced to gl':‘e'l
he matter serious consideration. (‘»:;n-l
csequently, he may aunouhnce, but not
wow. He says he will have an an
wer for the folks aboul June 1.
“Phere is plenty of time,” says the
wayor, when he was asked about the
sovernor's race. ‘I never did believe
‘0 leng campaigns, and if 1 should de
ide to get in the race, I would pre
fer to be the last candidate to an

“June 1 will leave plenty of time!
‘or a campaign if I want to make ‘J!f‘-'

HERE is ncver a moment, day or night, wh;g( your
Bell Telephone is not a protection. **+ M 1 -
In the busy hours of the day and the silent
watches of the night, the switchboard operator is azlways
ready to answer a call.
The telephone is as much a part of the protective sys
tem of each community as the pelice and fire departments.
There's always a feeling of security in the knowledge
that close at hand is the mezns of calling aid quickly when
you most need it.
More.than 70,000 cities and towns are protected day
and night by the Bell Telenhone system. 7,500,000 Bell
telephones are on guard. In thousands of rural communi
ties it is the chief reliance in emergencies and times of

AGREE ON UNIFICATION
PLAN OF METHODIST
Saratoga Springs, May 18—The
unificaticn of the Methodist Episco
pa! church and the Mecthodist Episco
pal south church was endorsed almost
unanimously by the Methodist gen
cral conference today.
The conference adopted the rerort
of the committee on unification which
provides for further negotiations with
the southern church, paving the way
for firal action by the general con
ference of the southern church: dn
1918 and by the northern church’s
general confernece in 1920,
The committee indorsed with sgme
i‘nodificalions a series of proposals
agreed upon previously by a joint
commission in which the Methodist
Kpiscopal church north and the Meth
odist Episcopal church, south, and the
Methodist Protestants church were
represented.
The plan proposes a ,general confer-
ence as the supreme body and a num
ber of guadrennial or subordinate con
ferences of which one or more shall
e created for negro members only.
The report recommends the amalgra
mation of the branches of American
Methodism with the general confer
ence as the supreme governing body
of the church and with scparate con
ferences and episcopal supervision for
the negro churches. i
The report was adopted amid scenes
of unbonunded enthusiasm. Only one
speech was made in favor of the ac
tion and none in opposition. Rev. J.
I, Goucher, president emeritus of the
Goucher college, Blatimore, Md., in'
moving adoption said the proposed
amalgramation would be a federated
union that would protect all the va
ried interests. He explained that the
interests of the negroes would be nro
tected to solve their own problems.
When Dr. Coucher concluded the
nent up enthusiasm of the conference
burst its bounds, every one rose (o
his feet the building shook with ap
slause and shouts of “Vote, Vote.”
Renewed cheering greeted the an
nouncement that the report had been
adopted and as Bishop E. R. len
irix, of the Methodist Episcopal
~hurch south, stepped to the speakers
dask anl clasped hands with Bish-
p Cranston, the presiding officer, the
convention spontaneously began sing
ng* Praise God From Whom All Bles
sings Flow,” and followed with “Blest
Be. the Tie That Binds.”
Bishop Cranston was gl:eatly affect
& By fire denonstmeioß. Wit a®ay
the tears that steramed down his
lace he said:
“Phig is the supreme moment of my
jife. You might have continued me
n an effective reiation for eight years
icnger if you had so willed, but you
sould not have given e the gratiica
ion of soul I feel today.”
i Bishop lendrix said:
. As senior bishop of American Meth
sdism I believe that by our action
‘oday we have accomplished more fol
he good of mankind than resulted
irom the battle of Saratega.”
