SEALER Special Correspondent The Journal. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15. The 1920 gathering of southern Bap tists will go down in history as “the curbstone convention.” There have been more delegates hobnobbing on the sidewalks outside the place of meeting than were gathered on the inside. The comment they are mak ing is to protest against the grow- 1 ing tendency of the body to drift away from democratic practices and : fall into the centralization of the Republicans. It is more apparent at this meet- ' in than ever before. I do not know , whether or not it is caused by the . atmosphere that flows out from the Republican majority in congress, but it exists and is being commentei upon unfavorably by many of the delegates, among them the leading men of the body. One of them, a very conservative man, said to me today that the tendency of the con-i vention was to fall into the hands of the state mission secretaries. They are being appointed on most of the important committees, and are being looked upon as the men who announce the policy of the state thev represent toward the business of th* convention. Secretaries In Control There has been a growing tenden cy to let the secretaries of the con vention be In control of its business. No longer are there any open discus sions on important questions. Coin- j mittee reports are directed by the secretaries and they select the men who are to speak upon them. Al ways there are several speakers se- I lec.ted by the secretaries to make cut-and-dried speeches upon cut-and dried reports. A small amount of time is sometimes given for free dis cussion at the close of the order on any subject, but only the boldest spirits, unless there is a principle involved, have the nerve to butt into the cut-and-dried program. There is a widespread clamor for a return to the democratic practices of the past, although some are saying that this will, never come back since the body has grown so large. The idea has taken firm hold of the brethren that the whole convention should not be run in the Interests of any boards or Institutions. k Then for the last year or two the west has climbed into the saddle and has ridden over the rights of the other sections. The president of the convention is a western man and the chairman of the $75,000,000 commission Is a west ern man. The director general of the campaign was a western man and the superintendent of publicity is a western man and it is interesting to note that all of these are frotn Texas. At the Saturday morning session of the body the committee on the next place of meeting recommendd Chatta nooga. It looked as if It, might take that direction but Dr. W. D. Pickard, formerly of Georgia, made an elo quent speech to let the south have something now and then. A place where the delegates were not con tinually dodging the clubs of police men as has been the case in Wash ington. Following this speech, the body voted unanimously to go to Chattanooga. I. realize that I will be soundly criticized for this story but it is written at the request of a number of leading men and it expresses the sen timent of a large number of Bap tists all over the country. It is writ ten in no unkind spirit, but with a desire to stop a dangerous tendency on the part of the convention. The committee appointed to consider all matters pertaining tb the convention meetings will consider this matter, but will hardly report upon it utttl the next session. The business of the body has been practically concluded today. Many Georgians will preach in Washington pulpits tomorrow and then on Mon day the odds and ends will be dis posed and then the meeting will ad+' journ by noon. There is a probability that the headquarters of the Woman’s Mis sionary union will be moved from Baltimore to Atlanta. At the conven tion of the women, a committee re ported recommending that the head quarters be moved either to Atlanta, Birmingham or Nashville, on account of the distance of Baltimore from the territory in which the women are at work. It was decided to let the dif ferent states vote on the question and come to a final decision next year. The committee on the next place of meeting today decided on Chattanoo ga, and this will be ratified by the convention on Saturday. I mentioned Thursday that a great southern Baptist daily paper would doubtless be started in the near fu ture. Friday, a leading monied man in the convention offered to put $50,000 in a southern Baptist weekly to be published in Atlanta, a paper free from the control of denomina tional agencies. This man is ready to put his money into a daily with the same purpose in view, and others arq ready to join him. It will prob ably cost a half million dollars to start such a paper. The sentiment is that it should be started, and it will probably be done within the near future.

CORN-BORER ARMY INVADES FOOD-PRODUCING FARMS jg. & * ■■■■« .= ■ i : I.® F W 'l■Tv c J ' ; 'V.< ' Of® Spraying “corn-borers” with kerosene A worm is assuming a menacing attitude toward America’s corn crop. Secreted in a cargo of broom corn, imported from Austria, the unbidden guest has invaded 1,750 square miles in four states —Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, and one coun ty in Pennsylvania. The so-called corn borer, named by reason of its tunneling operations through the stalks and ears of corn, is the worst of pests, destroying from one-fourth to one-half of the infested crops of corn, millet, hops and hemp in its native lands of Eu rope and Asia. Its depredations in the cornfields of this country have been such as to deprive the worm ot none of its unsavory reputation as FARMER CARRIES CORN TO MILLER IN AN AIRPLANE “Uncle Ray” Camp, of Campton, in Walton county, now has “been to the mill” in everything there is, carry ing the good Walton county corn to be ground at the old, old place—at Reeves’ Mill, where he used to car ry the grain three score and ten years ago, as a barefoot boy with cheek of tan, and —probably—a stone-bruise or two, to make the go ing difficult. “Uncle Ray” is 79 years old, and adventurous. He was a daring sol dier of the Confederacy, and the passing years have not dulled the keen edge of his spirit. This week there was an aviator at Monroe, carrying passengers. “Uncle Ray” sent the young man word he’d like to see him at Camp ton. The flier came over, with his plane. “I’ve been to mill every other way,” said “Uncle Ray.” “Now I want to go to mill in an aeroplane. Are you game to take me and a half bushel of mighty good corn to Reeves’ Mill?” The airman was game. The filght was made with great success, “Uncle Ray” taking to the air like a duck to water. Flying low over Reeves’ MHI, he dropped the sack of corn in the general direction of the mill er—who ducked just in time. Then the return trip was made and a good landing. Then “Uncle Ray” slowly unbuckled the safety belt, and clambered out of the plane, and set his two feet solidly on the solid earth, and spake: “Man and boy, I have carried corn to Reeves’ Mill for 70 years,” he said. "I have carried sacks of corn on my shoulders. I have shoved the grain in a push-cart. I have prod ded oxen along the road at the dizzy speed of two miles an hour, and pulled the bell-cord over mules and horses hitched to wagons and bug gies. I have carried corn to the mill in automobiles. And now—” “Uncle Ray” paused for consid eration. “But this sky-rldlng beats ’em all,” he said, finally. "Good roads, up yonder. And a. man can get more exhilaration out of a half-bushel of corn, in the sack, flying in one of these things than he could get out the same noble agricultural product liquefied after the manner of a'by gone day—on the ground.” Mr. Camp is a wealthy and very prominent citizen of Walton county, who has just added this little stunt to a long and useful career, replete with incidents of historical Inter est. “I don’t want to miss anything, as long as I’m here,” says “Uncle Ray.” > Atlanta Shows Third Largest Increase in High Cost of Living WASHINGTON?

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children in Use for over 30 Years Always bears _— the fjr* Z 7 - Signature of the arch enemy of plant life yet in troduced into the United States. Fighting the pest by fire, steam, and annihilation by crushing, are the methods of warfare. The federal government has equipped a forty horsepower automobile truck as a source of fuel in fighting the worm with fire. A portable pressure tank, operated by one man, has been de vised whereby kerosene oil is sprayed over the cornstalks and stubbles to be burned. Another method of de stroying the corn borer, so prolific as to multiply its kind by 1,000,000 to the acre of ground, is by using a crushing machine through which the infested material is passed. Still an other way of control is a steaming process. By the latter mathed, all the corn stalks and stubbles in the infested fields are assembled in huge piles. Covered with canvas cloth, steam is applied for a period of 5 to 15 min utes, the material beiijg thoroughly sterilized and all living things killed. The hot steam is generated by a po rt’able boiler or traction engine. W^^'-. ,,, . w , ——« I will Jun©3o W A 1920 OVERLAND A1920 FORD WWV STARTING AND ucigmtG system. ' '• Fre&hl and War tax.

J. Gantt Wednesday and Thursday in Dumpkin, Dawson and Forsyth couhties. Nearly twenty-five prohibition agents, operating in five crews, and accompanied by two moving picture cameramen and a newspaper photog rapher, constituted the flying squad ron that seemed destined to smash all records until heavy rains made the mountain roads impassably. Two automobiles conveying Su pervisor Gantt and two crews left Atlanta at break Wednesday morning, while the other officers started at the same time from vari ous towns in north Georgia. The first day saw fourteen outfits, some of them big ones, located and “cut clown.” The largest distillery boasted fifty-tvzo fermentors and 7,000 gal lons of beer were ready for use. After heading back toward Atlan ta, the trail of a suspicious car was picked up in Forsyth county and a twenty-five-mile chase ended in the capture of the machine, two young Atlantians and 128 gallons of liquor. The “blockade runnerfe” were over hauled when their car stalled in a flooded creek. They gave the names of Fred Sullivan and E. Mason and were placed in the county jail at Cummings under state federal charges. The accidental wounding of an al leged “moonshiner” who was struck in the side by a bullet from the re volver of an officer pursuing him figured as the only casualty of the trip. The officer tripped and fell dur ing the chase and inadvertehtly pu’led the trigger of his weapon. Most of the raiding party returned to Atlanta Friday morning. Large Quantity of Liquor Disappears CHICAGO, May 15. —A large part of $600,000 worth of liquor seized as evidence by government agents has disappeared from the government’s bonded warehouse, Harry Mager, col lector of internal revenue, said to day. A force of auditors was sent to the warehouse to check accounts in an effort to trace the liquor. The amount of the thefts could not be de termined, Mr. Mager said, until an inventory had been made.
