MILLEDGEV1LLE, GEORGIA,
FARM LABORERS WILL
BE IMPORTED FROM
CANADA AND MEXICO
Atlanta, May 13.—The federal govern
ment has telegraphed informatlcn to
Its several branches throughout the
country, which are handling farm la
bor, that rigid restrictions on Immi
gration of this class of labor from
Mexico and Canada will be removed
where it is impossible to obtain the
required labor for agricultural pur
poses locally, and application is made
to the director of labor far the dis
trict to be entered.
Commissioner of Commerce and
Labor Hal M. Stanley says he Is more
of the opinion that results will be
better and quickly accomplished by
the arrangement of some plan where
by labor can be brought to this coun
try from Porto Rico, which suggestion
It is understood, has been made to hts
department. For the further relier cf
the labor situation, it is his suggestion
that textile workers be brought to
this country from Belgium and France
for the period of the war, the return
ing transport ships being used for that
purpose, and, upon the conclusion of
the war, the same ships, going to
bring American soldiers back, be used
to take back the Belgians and French
textile operatives. This, Mr. Stanley
says, will release a large body of la
bor from the American mills for other
purposes.

Tne Baptist churches in the South 1
ter the first time in their long aii'l i
eventiul history, have gono over the :
top in their gifts for missions.
This will be shown at the coming 1
Southern Baptist Convention that
opens in Hot Springs, Ark., next Wed
nesday. The report of the Foreign
Missions Board to be made by Dr. .1.
F. Love, tha secretary, will show that
during the past year the sum of $ 1 ,-
600,000 has been contributed for
preaching the gospel in foreign lands.
The report of the Home Mission Board
to be made by Dr. B. D. Gray, the sec
retary, will show that $600,000 has
been given to carry on the work in
the South. This is the largest sum
that has ever been given for Mission
work by the Baptists of the conven
tion. In addition to this, thousands
of dollars have been contributed by
the churches of the different states
to carry - on the work in their own
borders.
These remarkably large gifts have
come in after members of the churches
have given liberally for Red Cross and
Army Y. Ai. C. A. work and for the
purshase of Liberty Bends. A new
standard for giving has been set and
since the convention has discovered
its ability there is no telling what
may be attempted within the next few
years.
Atlanta will ask for the next con
vention.

of Milledgevllle. The officers fated to
find the proprietor of the place at
home and while they failed to leave
their cards, they left evidence of their
visit to the place.
Not satisfied over his failure to ape
Peeler on his Initial visit to the dis
tiller’s place of business, Sheriff Ter
ry made a second call on the beverage
manufacturer Friday. On this ceca-
slon Peeler returned with. the sheriff
and at a later date the former will
again be specially Invited to MUledge-
vllle to attend an event arranged in
a manner distasteful to the guest. The
hosts on thu pcpp.sioa. will be » Jn*,
dlclal officer, the sheriff and several
bailiffs and no formalities will be In
dulged in. '
The latest distillery raid to be re
ported was made by Sheriff Terry and
Offlijer Burke at an earlyi hour Sun
day morillng. In this instance the
general manager of the place was
found to be on his job and no time wae
being lost in making fie 'shine, even
If the night before was moonless. This
place was known as the plant of John
eVal, located about four miles east of
Milledgevllle.
As a compensation ter the acts of
the officers in appearing promptly at
the early hour Sunday morning, Veal
agreed to pay the sum of $300. The
negro proprietor of.this particular dis
tilling plant further agred to build a
better roadway far Ills visitors should
he allow hlmself'to remain asleep long
enough for the high sheriff and police
general to ride all the way from Mill
edgevllle to his place by the side of
the still disturbed.
