ATLANTA. Feb. 18.-—Renewed
activity in Georgia farm lands is
becoming very evident, in the opin
ion of state agriculturists. As
pointed out, the low ebb was reach
ed in the various sections of the
j state when the boll weevil moved
| from the south to the north and in
vaded, new regions each year. But
.with diversification and readjust
ment, it is shown, a new era has
I dawned and farm lands are com
ing into their own again.
Reports received in Atlanta in
some in north Georgia and others
in' central and;south Georgia, have
reported large transactions, sever
al improved farms having been
purchased by home-seekers from
I other state.", and others by local in
.vestbrs who believe, as they stated,
I .that agricultural lands in Georgia
toddy afe cheaper than ever they
■wifi bb“ifghini aiid therefore, offer
I most -excellent -oportunities for in
vestment of capital.
As pointed out by J. J. Brown,
Georgia commissioners of agricul
ture, there is a complete econo
mic reconstruction of farm condi
tions taking place and a greater im
petus to proper diversification.

CALL ISSUED FOR
‘FORGOTTEN MEN’
ATLANTA, Feruary 18.—Bishop
Warrer/A. ■ ffcndler, of the first
episcopal ‘ district of the M. E.
church, South, a*id Senior active
Bishop of the denomination, has
issued a call to Methodists of this
section in behalf of the ‘'Forgot
ten Men” of the church, as the
aged and disabled Methodist minis
ters are designated. The first
episcopal district includes the ter
ritory of the Virginia, Louisiana 1
and Baltimore conferences.
According to Bishop Candler,
there has nejver been a greater
cause undertaken by Southern
Methodism than this movement to
raise $10,000,000 to be used as an
endowment, fund tot give peace and
material comfort to the worn-out
ministers of the church in their de
clining years.
"Methodist authorities,” says
Bishop Candler, “have agreed that
the superannuate endowment move
ment shall have precedenc over all
other campaigns ofi the church from
Feb. •! to July lj During this pe
riod it is hoped that every Metho
dist congregation throughout the
connection will pledge to this fund
one-fifth of the amount' annually
paid to its pastor and presiding el
der. If the 17,000 Methodist con
gregations pledge this amount for
the next five years the required
$10,000,000 can be easily collect
ed.”

Carney, who came to Claxton under
the name of Simms last week, is in
trouble with the Pictorial Review
Company and several other com

Carney’s trouble started when he
undertook lo sell three magazines
to Mrs. R. E. L. Majors, wife ot
the editor of the Clexton Enterprise
who moved here from Americus sev
eral months ago, at an unusually
low price and then attempted to
pass off a receipt written on a
blank sheet of paper, this trade was
refused;
The next morning he excited the
curosity of Chief of Police Eason
when he refused to go to the ticket
window to buy his ticket and sent
instead an old negro man. When
question he gave some excuse but
Mr. Eason was not satisfied and in
vestigated and found he had left
«jn unpaid board bill. A warrant
was sworn out for him on this
charge, and he’was taken into cus
tody at Stillmore. On bqing infdtm
ed of his activities in securing sub
scriptions Mr. Eason wired the mag
azines he claimed he was represent
ing and the result' is sHvebal serious'
charges "'have been placed against
him.
Carney has offered to make resti
tution to all he faked, out of mon?y,
but the inclination on the part of
the women is. to prosecute in co
