Doc Williams says we are still
wrong about our story of the bees
that were recently captured in the
court house square. Doc admits that
we were right in that we said that
Dan Hirris carried them home but
says the honor of the capture should
go to Walt Sims, councilman and
former farmer, who gave noble as
sistance to Dub Teague in taming
the ewarm. Frank Green is author
of the story that another swarm of
these honey makers have camped in
an old automobile near Bracewell’s
shop back of the county jail for the
past several months. It is believed
that they have stored up lots of
honey in the springs of the car’s
cushions as it is a large swarm.

MANY MERCER STUDENTS
TAKE THEOLOGICAL COURSE
Macon, Ga., June 23.—50 anxious

try that theological school officials of
Mercer university say that fifty or
more young preachers face the possi
bility of having to withdraw from
their studies unless the present sit
uation is relieved.
Matured men with families ask for
even the most far-fetched opportuni
ties which would permit them to pre
pare for their life work. With long
hours at night labor, classes during
the day and a few hours of sleep,
many of them eke out their four years
of minsterial schooling. Twenty-three
if the past year enrollment, two of
which were women, expect to go to
foreign mission fields.
The annual number in the school of
Christianity of Mercer has grown
from twenty-three to 181 in the past
six years. Dr. Rufus W. Weaver,
president of the college, pointed out
that a mnimum of $22,000 annually is
needed as ministerial aid, but that de
nomnational appropriations had not
anticipated such an increase of theo
logical students.
Due to an oversight in making up
the budgets ‘of the Baptist $75,000,-
000 drive, little relief could be expect
ed from that source for ministerial
education, Dr. W’eaver said.
