END LONG SERVICE
FDR MEWSM
With the business of the annual
conference out of the way, the 157
Methodist ministers whose appoint
ments for the coming year were
changed at the fifty-seventh annual
session of the North Georgia confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, which concluded
Monday, had left for their homes
Tuesday to go about winding up
their personal affairs preparatory to
assuming them new charges.
Within two or three weeks all the
changes will have been perfected
and those pastors who are moved
will begin the work incident to their
new charges as soon as possible.
A distinct surprise at the con
cluding session of the conference
was the superannuation of Dr. T. R.
Kendall, pastor of the Sam Jones
Memorial church, at Cartersville -
Dr. Luke G. Johnson, presiding
elder of the Griffin district, and the
Rev. M. S. Williams, pastor of
Young Harris Memorial church, of
Athens.
No intimation had been made that
these three prominent ministers
were considering the superannuate
relation and their announcement of
the fact was met with frank sur;
prise by the conference.
Dr. Kendall has had a distin
guished career in the Methodist
itinerancy. He pastor of the
Trinity Methodist church, of At
lanta, for four years and also served
four years each at the Grace and
Inman Park churches in Atlanta.
Few ministers affiliating with the
North Georgia conference have en
joyed the wide circle of friends that
has been accorded Dr. Kendall and
the conference body was visibly
touched when he announced that he
considered his days of active service
in the conference ended.
No less affected was the confer
ence when Dr. Johnson and the Rev.
Williams announced that they
wished to retire.
Dr. Johnson has served a number
of Atlanta churches and his sermons
have been an inspiration to members
of the congregations. He has been
in the ministerial service for a num
ber of years, but felt called ..»n to
retire because of acute eye and ear
trouble.
The r.e<’. Williams was president
of the legal conference just con
cluded. As pastor of the Methodist
church, at Oxford, Ga., during the
last yrar Emory college was there,
Mr. Williams made many friends
among the college men, uml is uni
versally popular among the members
o’ the conference.
The conference, signified its high
esteem of these three sterling min
isters. and many expressions »>.’ sor
row at their passing from the active
work of the church were offered.
Bishop U. V. W. Darlington, of
Huntington, W. Va., who presided
over the conference, said after thu
concluding session of the conference,
that he had never seen a more or
derly or businesslike session of Meth
odist ministers. The work of the ton
ference began slowly, but in the last
two days it was speeded up and the
conference adjourned in record time
Electric Curling Iron
Basis of $3,000 Suit
CHARLOTTE, N. C., Nov. 27—An

heard in superior court here today.
Miss Hariett McAllister, vaude
ville actress of Indiana, in suing the
Virginia-Carolina Amusement com
pany and the Southern Public Utili
ties company, charges that a short
circuit in her curling iron in the

Animal and Bird
Life in Okeefenokee
Rapidly Decreasing
WAYCROSS. Ga., Nov. 7.—Ani
mal and bird life in the Okefenokee
swamp, though still plentiful enough
to command the attention of the
sightseer or scientist who may ex
plore the vast inland sea of south
Georgia, is rapidly decreasing, ac
cording to C. N. Wilson, natural his
tory expert of this city.
With the possible exception of
opossums and raccoons, the ranks
of every species of fur-bearing ani
mal to be found in the swamp are
thinning year by year. The black
or “hog” bear was reported this
year in larger numbers than usual,
and the increase is held responsible
for the number that have been slain
by hunters near here.
Hide hunters are hastening the
day when the alligator will be ex
tinct in Georgia. Nowhere in the
state is this so clearly seen as in
the Okefenokee, the last stronghold
of the ’gator, where as many as
twenty-five have been known to be
killed by a hunter in a day's time,
it was stated.
Among the rare animals cf the
swamp are the otters which are seen
only in the winter. Many are trap
ped every year for their skins. The
swarnp people lay traps on logs and
snare the otters. Trapping is just
now beginning in the swamp.
Much has been written in scien
tific journals about the Florida wa
ter rat. This frisky and diminutive
rodent, which has been found only
in small areas in South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, was discovered
in the swamp several years ago. It
constructs nests of grass a short dis
tance above the water level where
it harbors its young.
Deer are sighted less frequently
than in former years. Only a frac
tion of their former number is be
lieved to exist in this section, Mr.
Wilson said. Steps are being taken
to make the swamp a game preserve
for deer and other animals which
are being killed off.
While the swamp is a fastness for
fur-bearing and cloven-hooved ani
mals, it is no less a retreat for rare
birds. National legislation passed I
several years ago for the protection
of the birds has done much to pre
serve them, but their worst enemies
are swamplanders themselves. Thj
shooting of a sandhill crane by a
hunter in the swamp who was not
aware' that these birds are now al
most extinct recently was witnessed,
it was stated. The white egret is
seen at rar® intervals.
Five years ago the last ivory-billed |
woodpecker, which measured twenty
inches in length, and was nearly as j
large as a buzzard, was seen in the !
Okefenokee. Since that time it has
not been reported. Grebes, the pie
billed grebe, and other members of
this family, are to be seen there.
Among the herons definitely known
to exist in the swamp are the great
blue heron, the Louisiana heron, the
little blue heron and the night
heron.

Invading Liberty of
Religion, Reed Says
KANSAS CITY, Kan., Nov. 27.
Invasion of religious liberty is per
mitted in the United States in de
fiance of the American constitution,
Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri,
asserted in an address here last
night before the Kansas Bar associa
tion convention.
“The business of parading in pil
low slips is the most un-American
thing which has befallen the nation
in the last century,” he continued.
“We are permitting religious liberty
to be invaded,” he said. “One of
the trees planted on this land by our
forefathers was that of religious lib
erty. They were of every race and
creed. They knew men were not to
be converted at the point of the
sword, and the fagots were not
logic.”
Senator Reed asserted that “the
foundation of liberty is the freedom
of the individual” and urged the
maintenance of state’s rights.

Here Are Details of Our Great
Fruit Garden Collection
Offer
THE TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL will help you start a
Home Orchard and Fruit Garden, or to add to what you
have, by sending you Six fine Apple Trees, Two Pear
Trees, Four Concord Grape Vines and Eight Dewberry
Vines of the most profitable variety known.
If you take advantage of our offer without delay, w«
will send you THE TRI-WEEKBY JOURNAL lOR ONT.
YEAR, or extend your subscription twelve months from the
present expiration date, and these TWENTY PLANTS, ALL
FOR ONLY $1.50. We will deliver these plants to you at
your mail box, with parcel post charges paid.
Think of the barrels of choice apples and pears, the
bushels of delicious table grapes, and the loads of luscious,
i melting dewberries you can raise in your own garden from
these fine trees and vines. In just a short time you can ,
have all the apples, pears, grapes and- dewberries you can
use on your own table and plenty left to put up for the
winter. And after the trees and vines come into full bear
ing, you will have a nice surplus left to sfell at fancy prices.
Here is what the collection includes:
Six Baby Apple Trees
Healthy, vigorous little “baby trees” that grow rapidly
Into large, heavy-cropping trees. They are produced by
grafting a branch from a fruit tree to a healthy one-year
root, and tying the union with waxed twine. Though
less than a foot in length, they take root shortly after being
planted and make wonderfully rapid growth when given the
care they deserve. We will send: Two Genuine Delicious—
the handsomest Apple grown and the best. Two Jonathans
—a favorite wherever apples can be grown and of delightful
flavor. Two Wealthys—popular and profitable; a splendid
keeper.
Two Kieffer Pear Trees
Plants come in same shape as Apple trees. This old, de
pendable variety is a favorite for every purpose, wherever
pears are grown. Os incomparable flavor when fully ripe.
Four Pedigreed Grape Vines
Selected year-old Concord vines from the famous South
ern Michigan grape belt, where the variety has been grown .
and perfected for the last half century, and where the vines
have been bred up to an average yield of a bushel of the
finest table grapes to every vine. The Concord is hardy and
will thrive in locations where many other varieties cannot be
grown. The vines we will send you are selected mailing
size stock; with plenty of roots to start off with vigorous
growth. They fruit the third year and reach full size In
five, after which, with proper care, you can depend upon
i your bushel of choicest grapes from every vine, and you can
i make cuttings which will give you a vineyard of any size
you desire.
Eight Vigorous Lucretia Dewberry Vines
As the Dewberry produces a good crop the next summer
liter being planted, they are ideal to plant with grapes.
While waiting for your grapes to come into bearing, the
dewberry vines will furnish immense clusters of shining
black, melting, juicy berries. As a source of delicious fruit
juice the Dewberry is giving the Concord grape a close race,
as the Dewberry juice is as good as grape juice, and the
crop is cheaper to grow. Eight of our vines in your garden
will give you a good annual supply of this splendid berry,
and you will have every year from twenty to fifty new plants
io re-set or to sell to your neighbors.
Now, Note This Carefully
EVERY COLLECTION IS GUARANTEED to consist of
;ood, vigorous, hardy stock; to arrive in growing condition
and to be in «,* ery way satisfactory to you, unless you are
unreasonable. Unsatisfactory plants and vines will be re
placed free.
ILLUSTRATED INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLANTING are
wrapped in each package of trees and vines. These instruc
;ions are illustrated with pictures and diagrams, and show
just what to do to have success with your fruit garden.
