er rhe early offerings had been ab
•so ted, prices showing rallies of 15 Io
30 points from the lowest toward the
end of the first hour.
The rally from the early low
levels was checked by some selling
of new crops on more favorable
weather prospects but slight mid
morning reactions were followed by
renewed firmness on covering by

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, May 12.—The
The cotton market opened lower on
unfavorable Liverpool cables, the suc
cess of the radicals in the French
elections and lower foreign exchange.
First trades were 22 to 34 points
down from Saturday’s close and
prices eased off a few points addi
tional after the call, Julj' trading
down to 28.04, and October to 23.95,
or 28 to 35 points net lower. The
market soon rallied 16 to 20 points
on continued cold weather In the belt
and unfavorable private advices as to
progress of the, crop. Forecasts of
April consumption were 451,000 by
or*' authority and 507,000 by another.
The feature of the morning's trad
ing was a sudden jump in May of
14) points from the low, due to an
ev.jent effort to squeeze the remain
ing shorts in the current month. The
local certificated stock is now being
re ipunted and the report was spread
it would show a radical reduction.
The spurt in May which advanced
that month to a premium, of 28
points over July, carried the later
months upward in sympathy, July
advancing to 28.85 and October to
24.40, or 81 points and 45 points re
spectively, up from the low. The
market then eased off moderately
on the reported resignation of the
French premier.
The market continued to rule firm
during the late morning and early
afternoon. Although May did no l,
n ake further gains, July advanced
In points over the previous high to
2*1.95 owing to the precarious posi
tion of shorts in both lod crop
|i onths. October gained 12 addi
tional points, advancing to 24.52 and
December gained 12 at 24.31. The
new crop months were stimulated
by bad crop reports and the market
generally was disposed to take a
bullish view of the April consump
tion forecast of 507,000 bales by a
well-konwn. southern authority.

THE ATLANTA TKI-WEEKLY JOLKNAb
GRAIN
CHICAGO, (Monday), May 12. —
Wheat developed a stubborn tone
1 after a weak opening. There was
a rush to sell at the start because
of bearish news and in the absence
of buying power prices broke rapid
ly. Commission house absorption
of the offerings on resting orders
made it more difficult for early sell
ers to cover, offerings tightening up
in the later trading.
Liverpool weakness, and the in
crease of supplies on passage last
week, making the world’s shipments
25,000,000 bushels greater than last
year, were some of the bearish fac
tors early. Later the weather fore
cast was for probably frost for Kan
sas, Nebraska, lowa and the north
west, and this caused some short
'covering.
The result of the French election
suggested that the people of
that country are inclined to favor
an early settlement of the repara
tions muddle. Milling demand for
wheat was quiet. Seaboard advices
told of a little Manitoba wheat being
sold to Sweden. Visible supply de
creased 3,341,000 bushels last week.
Corn was weak in tone. There
was pressure to sell early on the
slow shipping demand and the in
creasing supplies on passage. Com
mission house buying on resting or
ders stayed the decline. Later the
fact that Duluth stocks increased
instead of showing a big reduction
as expected, caused further pressure.
Duluth stocks are believed to be
nearly all sold, but the harbor was
ice-locked and boats could not get
in or out last week. Shipping de
mand was slow, but spot corn was
in demand with premiums up 1-4
cent. Sales of 225,000 bushels of
corn were made to go to store. Vis
ible supply decreased 524,000 bushels
last week.
Oats followed corn.* Visible sup
ply decreased 1,375,000 bushels. Trad
ing was dull.
Lower hogs exerted a depressing
influence over provisions.
Wheat closed 1-4 c higher to 3-8 c
lower. May, $1.04; July, $1.05 1-8;
September, $1.06 1-4; December,
SI.OB 5-8.
Corn closed 7-8 c to 1 l-8c loxver. A
report that negotiations are under
way to bring corn from Duluth to
Chicago caused further pressure in
the day. May, 75 3-4 c; July, 75 1-2@
75 5-8 c; September, 74 3-4@74 7-Sc.
Oats were l-8c to 3-8 c lower. May,

2 l-2c to 5c lower.
Local cash sales were 15,000 bush
els of wheat, 83,000 bushels of corn
and 41,000 bushels of oats. The Sea
board report 600,000 bushels of
Durum wheat taken for export late
Saturday.

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS
DONATE $952,570
FOR HOME MISSIONS
Funds contributed by southern
Baptists for home mission activities
during the convention year just con
cluded totalled $952,570.18, accord
ing to announcement by the home
mission board of the Southern Bap
tist convention. This figure is ap
proximately the same as in 1923,
when $952,061.07 was received for
home mission purposes. These funds
were the home board's share of the
proceeds from the 75 million cam
paign, which was inaugurated five
years ago by southern Baptists to
finance the activities of the denom
ination for a five-year perod. Ef
forts were made to collect all pledges
due at this time so that finances
for the convention year might be
put in satisfactory shape, although
the five-year period, as far as col
lections are concerned, has been ex
tended until this fall.
The year just closed has seen the
debt of the home board considerably
reduced and many remarkable re
sults accomplished in the various de
partments. according to a statement
from Dr. B. D. Gray, corresponding
secretary of the board, accompany
ing the announcement of the finan
cial status. The extension of the
time for payment of 75 million cam
paign pledges has affected the re
ceipts somewhat, but the outlook is
hopeful on that account, he declares.
“Because of our financial condi
tion, including our heavy debt, re
trenchment in our operations was
necessary but painful because of the
harm done to the work that every
where called for enlargement,” says
his statement, outlining some of the
results of the year's work. “We
have never had such advance in the
direction of self-support on the part
of our mission fields and churches.
It presents a most hopeful and grat
ifying outlook.
“The five-year campaign has not
only brought weak missions and new
churches to strength and self-sup
port, but has opened up new fields in
every department of our work. An
other striking feature of the year’s
work is the increased number of vol
unteers and their better equipment
for Christian service. Hundreds of
our best young men and women are
applying for work in the home mis
sion field.
“For our schools and churches the
cry for better and more ample fa
cilities is imperative. Our very .suc
cess is contingent upon supplying
our forces with proper buildings and
equipment. Without these we can
not preserve what »-e have and are
barred from advancing. Moreover,
there is urgent need for additional
workers, and many are offering
theniseivo- ... <....a0t be engaged
for lack of funds.”
Girl Who Admitted
Dynamiting of House
Is Taken to Rome, Ga.
GADSDEN, A’a., Mar 10.—Miss
Margie Landers, nineteen, was taken
back to Rome, Ga., today to tell in
court the story xvhich she calmly
related here regarding the dynamit
ing of the home of Deputy Sheriff
Bobo there April 4.
In the office of the chief of police,
Littlefield, a few .“»iautes after she
had been arrested, she gave details
of the alleged conspiracy, hatched
by Bootleggers to kill the officer.
The latter had sent two of the
gang to the co»wity convict camp
and they had managed to steal fifty
sticks of dynamite, the girl said.
The hiding place of the explosives
was communicated a girl friend
of Miss Landers and she told mem
bers of the gang. Miss Landers,
her friends and three men rode to
the home of Bobo, where the men
put three sticks under the porch
und blew up the home, injuring the
officer’s sister. as me result of
.the girl's story here eight men and
'four women are in jail at Rome,
officers said Saturday night.

REUNION TO PUT, METHODISTS
NEAR TOP INCHURCHSTRENGTH
Seven Million Members to
Be Total When Schism Is
Healed After 13-Year Bar
ley
BY MALCOLM ELLIS
(Special Lensed Wire to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
NEW YORK, May 10. The
breach opened 80 years ago this
month between the Methodists of
the north and the south is about
to be closed. It’s healing will wipe
away another trace of bitterness
over the question that led to the
War Between the States.
It was in the Green Street church
in this city, a building that has
passed away, that on May 22, 1844,
determined abolitionist delegates
from New England introduced in the
general conference of the Methodist
church a resolution demanding that
Bishop James Osgood Andrew, of
Georgia, resign because he was the
owner of a black boy and a black
girl.
Determined ministers and laymen
of the north and angry and deter
mined delegates from the south—
one side holding slavery a moral
wrong, the other contending it was
not sinful and therefore, out of the
province of the church—coaxed, ca.
joled, were caustic and personal and
finally hurled invectives lor days
trying to change each other’s point
of view.
Delegates of the south left the
meeting with a vow that they
would not again “comingle” with
their northern brethren.
Union in Sight Now
The vow is kept, but with slavery
dead for 60 years, their successors
as the trustees of Wesleyanism, are
about to come back to the common
fold. The action of the general con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, the northern branch of the
church, in session at Springfield,
passing this week by a vole of
something like SOO to 10 a measure to
reunite with the southern Meth
odists, is one of the last steps in
the reunion. -The southern confer
ence. it is agreed, will ratify the

M’ADOO RECEPTION
CHEERS SUPPORTERS
IN WEST TENNESSEE
(Continued from Page 1.)
again to’ the American people hon
est, efficient, progressive and incor
ruptible government, administered
in the interest of all the people.
Fight Against Reaction
“Today as in Jackson’s day, the
fight is on between reaction and en
trenched privilege on the one hand,
and progressive democracy on the
other. The people now, as then.,
demand the restoration to power of
these great Democratic forces of the
nation which imbibed the militant
and progressive spirit of the west,
and which were determined to wrest
control of the government from the
aristocracy of class, to administer it
again in the interest of all the peo
ple on the Jeffersonian principle of
democracy: ‘Equal opportunity for
all, special privilege for none.’
“Progressive democracy means op
position to the Fordnqy-McCumber
tariff bill which is taxing all the
people for the benefit of favored
manufacturers and contributors to
the Republican campaign funds. De
mocracy opposes reducing high sur
taxes on big incomes, and proposes
to reduce taxes, to a greater extent
than the Mellon plan, on small and
moderate incomes; it opposes ex
tortionate freight rates, not alone
on agricultural products but on ail
products, and proposes reduced
freight rates, and*more efficient rail
road transportation for the benefit
of all the people.
“Progressive democracy opposes
graft and corruption in the govern
ment and temporizing with. or
shielding the guilty, and proposes
to drive the grafters and corrup
tionists out of government and put
the criminals and wrong-doers into
the jails of the United States."
Would Settle Rail Problem
Concerning the railroad problem.
Mr. McAdoo said that, in the event
of his election, he. would not give
the railroads seven years or seven
months to make up their minds, but
would call a special session of con
gress to solve the railroad prob
lem, “just as Woodrow Wilson call
ed congress in a special session to
reform the currency problem, and
out of which came that wise and
beneficial piece of legislation, known
as the federal reserve act.”
Dealing ’directly with the fight
for Democratic presidential nomina
tion. Mr. McAdoo said:
"It must be clear to the people
of Tennessee that the fight within
the Democratic party is a fight be
tween the reactionary element, on
the one hand, and the progressive
element on the other.
“The reactionary element is care
fully disguising its real purposes by
striving to secure uninstructed dele
gations from every state that is
supposed to be progressively Demo
cratic and dry. but It is very care
ful to secure instructed delegations
in every state where the reactionary
forces can control, and so to tie the
delegations with rock-ribbed and
iron-bound instructions.
"Let not the people of Tennessee
be deceived.
If people want to have the
voice of this sovereign state ex
pressed in favor of progressive Dem
ocratic principles, and for the
maintenance and enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment to the consti
tution. and to have an'influence in
in the country, as the northern
branch has 4,593,540 members, the
southern branch 2,339,152.
While the whole question of slav
ery was tied up with the schism be
tween the two bodies, it was in
reality a single negro boy by the
name of Jacob who caused the great
est split in an American ecclesias
tical body.
Bishop Andrew had inherited him
from his first wife. He was the
bishop’s body servant. He held also
until she became of age, a girl by
the name of Kitty, who had been
willed to him by a friend for him
to rear. When Kitty' became 19,
Bishop Andrew, abiding by his
friend’s will, offered her freedom
and passage to Liberia, or bondage
in his household. She chose the
bondage. Jacob had no choice.
.Scriptural Defense Cited
The conference in New York in
1844 was held at a time when anti
slaverysentiment was rising in New
England. Bishop Andrew was mar.
ried a second time just before the
conference to a woman who had a
number of slaves. He deeded them
back to her. His status, however,
was resented by the northern Meth
odists. who held that it would
“greatly embarrass the exercise of
his office as an intinerant general
superintendent, if not in some places
entirely prevent it.
Interpreting th? sentiment of the
south. Bishop Andrew’s friends held
that, slavery was not evil, that it
was clearly countenanced in the
Old and New Testaments and cited
the scriptures to prove it.
The result of the long debate,
termed “ugly wrangling” by one
who heard it, was the adoption of
a resolution urging Bishop Andrew
to “desist from the exercise of his
duty so long as the impediment re
mains.”
The southern delegates, declaring
that their constituents could not
support a. church that had so de
clared, moved that the slave-holding
and the slaveless states organize
their own conferences. The slave
holding states organized th e M. E.
church, south, at Louisville, Ky.,
I the following year.
Under the plan that has been ap
| proved, the existing jurisdictional
j conferences will be retained, with a
j general conference over them. Each
f of the existing conferences will cede
I powers to the central body.
the Democratic national convention
at New York, they must tell the
1 delegates from Temlessee for what
and for whom they shall stand in
that convention.
Should Instruct Delegates
“It is the true Democratic prin
ciple of government for the people
to say whom they want nominated
for office. If Tennessee has a
choice for the presidency, its dele
gates should be instructed to express
that choice in the national conven
tion.
“For my own part, I should be
willing to have all the delegates
from every state sent to the nation
al convention uninstructed, provid
ed the rule -is applied impartially to
every state, but so long as our oppo
nents insist upon instructions in the
states which they dominate, then
progressive Democrats must insist
upon instructions in these states
where progressive democracy is in
control.
“By this means alone can the
movement to transform Republican
I reactionary government into reac
j tionary Democratic government be
j defeated, and I am opposed to reac
-1 tionary government whether it be
Republican or Democratic.
“The Democrat party has no mis
sion if it is reactionary; it has no
mission unless it is the true servant
. of all the people; it has no mission
unless it is prepared to fight and
j sacrifice to maintain the. immutable
1 principle of democracy: ‘Equality of
opportunity for all, special privilege
to none.’
.. “To achieve and to maintain this
kind of Democratic government,
j there can \A no compromise nor
faltering. Trie issue must be fought
to a conclusion, and it is more im
; Iterative that the issue shall be
clear-cut and fought to a finish this
; year than ever before in the history
I of the nation.
“Let. us sharpen the issue between
| predatory interests and plutocratic
power, which have found their flow
er in the reactionary Republican ad
ministration. and progressive and
honest Democratic government ad
ministered in the interest of all the
people and by and for the people.
“The clarion’ call of a new cru-
I sade of moral and political right
| eousness rings out in the land. It
| calls to all our people to put on their
armor and enlist in the fight. It
j will not be an easy battle, it can not
;be Avon without sacrifice. It can
j not be won without adherence to
principles. It can not be won with
out enthusiasm.
“It can be won only if the hosts
of democracy, men and women alike,
subordinate selfish interests, exalt
■ righteousness and unite in an irre
-1 sistible drive against corruption, in
j competence and materialism, to
i plant the standard of democracy,
j justice and God so high upon the
’ capitol at Washington that it can
i never be touched again by tainted
■ hands or plutocratic power.”
1 Mr. McAdoo touched slightly on
1 his Tennessee heritage.
“1 am proud to be in Tennessee,
this historic Volunteer, state with
which I am connected ties of an
cestry and kinship and with which
i rhe formative period of my ycu.-g
manhood is so intiEj*tely associated.
