CALLED TO CONFERENCE
Interchurch World Movement Holds Great Gathering in Atlanta
The First Part Of March.
All evangelical ministers of this
> mnty have been invited to join pas¬
tors of all the Protestant churches of
Georgia In a monster conference which
i to be held in Atlanta March 10-12.
'* i* 3 i s the first time in the history of
Fie Christian churches of the state
.oat such a gathering has been held,
: nil great good to the churches is ex-
1‘ Cted to result from the meeting to
! other of denominational leaders from
; 11 the various churches.
1 he conference will be in session
for three days, during this time every
: vailable moment being taken up with
intensive consideration of church
problems, both as they affect Georgia
end the entire Christian field through¬
out the world. It will meet at 2 o’clock
i f the first day, and remain in session
with conferences morning, afternoon
and evening, until the late afternoon
of the third day.
One of the most vital matters which
will be brought up for consideration
will be the results of the religious sur
vpv of the state, which will be present¬
ed through the medium of graphic
charts, maps and picture slides. Al
ihough the survey will not be complet¬
ed at that time, there will be a large
number of the counties of the state
ready for exhibition, and these will
form the basis of consideration.
. The results of the surveys are said
to be very startling in their revelation
of church weakness throughout rural
districts, and they will show many op¬
portunities for concentrated action on
the part of the churches in this state.
The Interchurch World Movement, in
making its surveys, simply discovers
the facts which exist, and then refers
the findings to the churches of each
county and state for whatever action
is deemed necessary by the churches.
Present at the meeting will be some
of the great Christian leaders of the
Gouth and of the nation. Some of the
trongest men In the southern
churches will be in attendance as
speakers. There will also be one or
more of the directing heads of the
Interoliureh World Movement among
the speakers to speak with authority
on whatever features of the movement

New Britain, Conn. This is what she says:
“I had cramps for three years and thought I
would never be any better. I could not eat
without distress. Slept with ray mouth open
and could hardly breathe. No medicine helped
me. I had catarrh of the stomach. Now I
have no cramps and am feeling well and

take PE-RU-NA.”

PE-RU-NA is recommended. If you are sick, do not wait and suffer.
The sooner you begin using Dr. Hartman’s well-known PE-RU-NA,
the sooner you may expect to be well and strong and in full possession

WORLD'S LARGEST UNCUT GEM
''Black Opal,” Found In Nevada ir
1917, Was a Quarter the Size
of a Brick.
"hat is believed to'be the largeet
uncut gem in the world hag come to
light in a recently opened mining dis¬
trict in Nevada, where it was discov¬
ered in the spring of 1917. The stone
is a “black opal,” so-called because
dark tones predominate in It. It
shows mostly dark peacock blue* and
emerald greens, with a considerable
amount of red, and several less promi¬
nent shades.
In size this great gem approaches a
quarter of an ordinary brick, being
three and fifteen-sixteenths inches in
length, three and one-eighth in width,
and two and one-eighth thick at the
,
bulkiest point. Its weight is eighteen j
and six-tenths avoirdupois ounces, j
which expressed in getn diction is 1
8,136 grains, or 2.1WK5.56 carats. Move
than a pound of opal is surely some !
stone! flawless And it is material, all solid, free uncracked from j
gem i
matrix or adhering rock except for a
paper thin skin encrusting the two
major surfaces. Little specks broken
from this skin here and there reveal
the brilliant play of colors within,
while the exposed ends and edge ex¬
hibit the full refracting radiance of
the mass.
This stone is about half again as
large as the largest of the noted gems
of the world. The Cullinan diamond
was roughly the size and shape of a
small fist, and. If it had been an opal,
would have weighed but 1,72b carats.
It is compared with the new opal on
this basis since the specific gravity
of the diamond is 75 per cent greater
than that of the opal.—Archie Rice in
the Scientific American.
Crown mating From 1000 A. D.
The rumor, current in the European
press some months ago. when the Bela
Kun administration ruled in Hungary,
that the Hungarian crown was to he
sold, seems to have disappeared, and
the later government apparently means
to keep it. It was an odd circumstance,
says a writer commenting on that
rumor and its disappearance, that,
with so much talk of discarded insig¬
nia of royalty, the one crown actually
mentioned as being for sale should
have been the most ancient one, with a
single exception, in Europe. For
whereas the German crown, for exam¬
ple, is comparatively modern, and w as
made no longer ago than 1871 for the
former kaiser’s grandfather, this
crown of Hungary traces back, at least
In legend, to the year 1000, and the sum
of 100,000 Swiss marks, about $19,000,
which, last summer, was circumstan¬
tially reported as the price for which
it was to be sold, does not seem par¬
ticularly exorbitant. ut*

Let’s Get

“Get better acquainted with your neighbor — you
might like him!" That’s a pretty good motto for a
community like ours, isn’t it? Town folks should get
better acquainted with country folks; the merchants
and the bankers should get to know the farmers—and
how they are farming. Speaking for this bank, we’d
like to get acquainted personally with every farmer
hereabouts—he might like us enough to deposit money
with us; we might like him enough to lend him some.

About 40,000,000 Tons of
Anthracite Coal Are Mined
Every Year by Wet Process
The rivers of Pennsylvania yield
about 250,000 tons of coal every year.
About 40,000,000 tons of anthracite
coal are mined every year by the “wet
process” in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Car¬
bon, Schuylkill and Northumberland
counties. The process requires the use
of vast quantities of whiter, which
when It is discharged carries in sus¬
pension millions of tons of culm or
coal dust fine enough to pass through
the smallest screen in a dry process
breaker. Much of the culm finds its
way into the rivers of (he anthracite
district, the Lackawanna, the Susque¬
hanna, the Schuylkill and the Lehigh.
They carry culm waste for many
miles downstream, to drop it at last
in shallows and eddies behind dams
and on valley bottoms. Much of the
coal thus scattered is recovered by
dredging with suction dredges or with
the more familiar bucket type o£
dredge. The machinery, which is usu¬
ally mounted on a stern-wheel, flat
bottom boat, dumps tbe coal into scows
that carry 12 to 14 tons. The recov¬
ered river c<5al brings from 70 to 90
cents at the wharf.
