(F. O. B.), 29c.
NEW YORK, June 30.—The cot
ton market was lower in today's
early trading because of relatively
easy Liverpool cables, reports of
continued good weather in the south
and a tendency to raise estimates of
the probable crop. The opening was
barely steady at declines of 6 to 10
points and the market eased off to
24.76 for October and 24.07 for De
cember, or about 19 points net low
er. No July notices were reported
In circulation and after selling off
to 28.82 or about 21 ooints net lower,
that position rallied to 28.94 on cov
ering. A Memphis authority esti
mated the condition of the crop at
70.3 compared with 68.1 last month
and placed the indicated yield at
11,900,000 bales.
After a decline of 20 to 25 points
In October to 24.70 in the early trad
ing, the market steadied on renewed
covering by July shorts and buying
of new crop positions on unfavora
ble weather reports. July rallied to
29.18 and October to 25.02, with
prices ranging 7 to 15 points net
higher. Trading was quiet and the
tone steady around midday.
October eased off 24.73 or 22
points net lower; offerings were not
heavy and the market was fairly
steady around 2 o'clock with July 2
points net higher and later months
14 to 15 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, June 30.—The
cotton market opened easier in sym
r pathy with lower cables than due
and owing to continued favorable
weather. First trades showed losses
of 8 to 19 points. July was steady
at 27.25 or 15 points net lower. Two
more private condition reports were
issued, one by a New York authority
at 63.9 showing a fractional loss for
the month, the other at 70.3, indi
cating crop of 11,900,000 bales.
The market had all the appear
ance of a pre-bureau affair, during
the morning and fluctuated some
what aimlessly. July, however, de
veloped firmness and advanced to
27.78 or 53 points up from the open
ing low. The advance was attribut
ed to belated short covering. Oc
tober, after easing off to 23.93 and
December to 23.70 or four points
below the opening lows, rallied 27
points to 24.20 for the former month
and 23.97 for the latter. The map
showed moderate showers and the
forecast was for showery weather
and cooler followed by fair and
warmer.
The market folio, ed a waiting at
titude during the entire morning and
into the afternoon, fluctuating nar
rowly within the early range. Such,
trading as developed was mostly in
the - nature of evening up in advance
of the government condition, and
acreage report due Wednesday. July
eased off to 27.40, cr 38 points down
from the early high on a few trades.
October traded around 24.05 during
the early afternoon, or 15 points un
der the early high.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
i ■ GRAIN I
BY GEORGE C. SCHNACKEL
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
i CHICAGO (Monday), June 30.
: The wheat market today was a
I strong one and there was more ac
tive business than for the last few'
days. It w'as evident when tlie mar
ket opened that long bulls w'ere of
the opinion that they had waited
long enough to reinstate their lines
and that today was the day to per
form this task.
There was nothing stimulating in
! the news of the day. Liverpool was
| a little higher and Winnipeg was
strong, and these are the only two
facts that might have caused bulls
to reach the above conclusion. Aft
er a sharp advance the market ran
into some profit-taking sales and
nearly all of the early gain was
wiped out about mid-session. North
west houses came to the rescue and
their buying lifted values higher
again. Export trade was quiet. Mill
i ing demand was limited. Liverpool
j strength was attributed to smaller
shipments in a cable to a local
( house but this conflicted with the
(•facts in so far as world’s shipments
j were about 1,000,000 bigger than
• last year. Supplies on ocean passage
were reduced nearly 3,000,000 bushels
last week.
Wheat closed 1 to 1 1-4 cent high
er. July 1.15 1-4 to 3-8; September
1.67 7-8 to 3-4; December 1.19 7-8 to
1.20; May 1.20 3-4.
Corn was sharply higher and De
cember made a new high on the
crop. Crop news from Illinois and
lowa and parts of the Ohio Valley
continue bad because of excessive
mo’sture and insect pests. This
ca ised a general rush to buy of all
months and there was little for
sale. Resting orders to sell slowed
up the advancing tendency on the
bulge. Cash corn basis was 1-2 cent
lower. Country sold a few cars of
corn to arrive on the advance. Ship
piny; demand was slight.
Corn closed 2 5-8 to 7-8 higher;
July 95 7-8; September 94 7-8 to 5-8;
December 84 3-4 to 5-8.
Oats sold at new high levels on
the crop. Cash houses bought the
nearby deliveries and commission
houses took the deferred futures. Of
ferings were light but they increas
ed on the bulge. Shipping demand
was good but shippers were reluc
tant to offer.
Oats were 1 1-8 to 1 1-4 cent high
er. July 54 5-8; September 47 5-8;
December 49 1-4.
Provisions were firm on commis
sion house buying but locals perssed
ribs for sale.
Lard closed 2 1-2 to 5 cents higher;
Ribs 2 1-2 cents lower to 2 1-2 cents
higher, and bellies 1 cent lower to
5 cents higher.
Local cash sales today were 12,000
bushels of wheat; 67,000 bushels of
corn, and 40,000 bushels of oats.

METHODIST UNION
CONFERENCE WILL
MEET WEDNESDAY
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 28.
(By the Associated Press.) —With the
special session of the general con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, convening at Chat
tanooga, Tenn., on Wednesday, July
2, for consideration and ballot upon
the unification of the northern and
southern churches, and ratified al
most unanimously by the northern
church this year at its Springfield,
Mass., general conference, every
phase of the question that split the
church in 1844 and which has kept
the two branches apart in adminis
tration, although holding virtually
the same doctrines and policy, is ex
pected to be discussed.,
Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon, of
Nashville, chairman of the southern
commission on unification, is one of
the most enthusiastic members of
the college of bishops favoring uni
fication, while Bishop W. A. Can
dler, of Atlanta, senior bishop of the
college, is strong in his opposition
to unification.
It is stated by some that the legal
ity of the called session will be con
tested bn the floor. It is also stat
ed that a resolution probably will be
brought forth early in the meeting
asking that unification and minor
matters pertaining thereto be the
sole topics considered.
Validity of Call Challenged
Bishops Warren A. Candler, Col
lins Denny, U. V. W. Darlington and
J. E. Dickey take the position that a
called session prior to Hie round of
annual conferences, which finally
must ratify any action taken by the
special session, is unconstitutional.
Several foreign delegates are
speeding to the states to take their
places in the conference, the call for
which was issued by the college of
bishops on May 20, last.
.^’ e hundred or more delegates
will be in attendance, it is estimat

A conflict ™o se £
cal r"llng 3 c ‘ V " Uws “ n,J
Until 1780. when the general con
ference of the church met in Balti
more, there had been no conference
ac ? on the question of slavery
At that time, the first official ae
on was taken disapproving of
’J a5 f e holding, and it was in 1784
that the most rigid laws were passed
oj th e church bearing upon this
subject.
The Breaking Point
Following the Baltimore confer
ence, a tone of moderation marked
succeeding conferences until the
limit of concessions to the views of
the southern delegates was declared
reached by the abolition winy, when
the conference passed a resolution
presented by official members of
the Westmoreland circuit of Vir
ginia, complaining that, while geo
graphically they were subject to
state laws under which emancipa
tion could not take place, the Balti
more conference, to whose eccles
iastical jurisdiction they belonged,
refused to elect certain of their lo
cal preachers to orders or to admit
them into the traveling connection
because they were slave holders. In
response to this complaint, the gen
eral conference adopted a resolution
declaring that the simple holding of
slaves or mere ownership of slave
property in states or territories
where the laws, did not fidmit of
emancipation and permit the liberat
ed slaves to enjoy freedom, consti
tuted no legal barrier to the elec
tion or ordination of ministers to
the various grades of office known
in the ministry of the Methodist
Episcopal church and could not,
therefore, be considered as operat
ing any-forfeiture of right in view
of such election and ordination.
This concession was declared the
breaking point by the abolitionists,
and that wing seceded, and in May,
1843, organized the Wesleyan Meth
odist Church of Amerlrca. with non
slave-holding as a condition of mem
bership.
Such action by the Wesleyan fac
tion served to strengthen the con
victions of both northern and south
ern members, z and in 1844 a peace
able and friendly separation took
place, each section of the church set
ting about to work in its own terri
tory to manage its own problems in
its own way.
Slave-Owning Bishop
One immediate cause of the rift
was the presence of a slave-holding
bishop, J. O. Andrews, in the Meth
odist church, it is asserted. Becom
ing a master of slaves through his
wife’s inheriting an estate which in
cluded slaves, and being unable to
liberate them owing to civil legisla
tion at that time, there seemed no
way out of the difficulty.
After stating that the southerners
could not sanction the action of the

CONFEREES FAIL TO REACH
AGREEMENTIN MELON ROW;
CASE WILL GO INTO COURT
Hearing on Permanent In
junction to Bar Straw-
Packed Fruit From Georgia
to Be Held Monday—Judge
Refuses Postponement
Despite efforts of state authori
ties and representatives of the At
lan’ic Coast Line railway to reach
an agreement, indications late Sat
urday night were that the injunc
tion hearing in the Georgia-Florida
melon controversy would come up
in federal district court here Mon
day, as scheduled.
Conferences between Attorney
General George N Napier and At
torney Robert C. Alston, represent
ing the railroads, had failed Satur
day night, and Mr. Alston held
small hope that he would be able
to get in touch with operating of
ficials of the railroad at headquar-
and gain f”om them approval
of certain stipulations laid down by
th e attorney general as necessary
for an agreement.
Efforts to reach an agreement fol
followed action bi' United States
Judge Samuel H. Sibley on Satur
day morning in declining to grant a
continuance of the hearing as re
quested by the railroad. In declin
ing to grant the continuance, Judge
Sibley pointed out that the other two
federal judges—Circuit Judge Na
than P. Bryan and District Judge
William H. Barrett —who will sit
with him, had already made arrange
ments to come to Atlanta for the
hearing.
Hr-infestation Noted
Permanency of an injunction is
sued on June 21 by Judge Sibley is
at issue. The temporary order re
strains Peter F. Bahnsen, state vet
ernarian, from enforcing an embargo
on watermelon shipments packed
in pine straw from Florida, but
which specified certain conditions to
which the railroad must subscribe if
pine straw was used as packing.
Dr. Bahnsen stated Saturday that
despite the road’s conformance to
the court’s stipualtions there is evi
dence that south Georgia is being re
in fested with cattle ticks, the evil
which his embargo order sought to
prevent. This was pointed out at
the conference Saturday.
Would Disinfect Cars
Dr. Bahnsen and Attorney Gen
eral Napier proposed that the mel
ons .be allowed to pass through
Georgia packed as stipulated in the
original court order handed down
last Saturday, by which the cars
containing the shipments would be
boarded up with six-inch boards, on
the condition that before such cars
are allowed to re-enter the state of
Georgia they must be cleared of the
pine straw and the entire interior
disinfected.
Dr. Bahnsen saw difficulties in the
way of this agreement because, he
said, of the fact that shipments
which have gone as far as Florence,
S. C., known as a “diversion point,”
frequently are brought back to Geor
gia upon certain fluctuations
of the melon market, and he did not
believe that the railroad operating
departments would approve of such
conditions.
Although he declined to reveal
specific instances, reserving such, he
said, for the courf hearing next
late general conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church on the sub
ject of slavery without deep and
lasting injury to the church and the
country, this resolution instructed
the corpmittee on organization \hat,
“if upon a careful examination of
the whole subject they find that
there is no reasonable ground to
hope that the northern majority
will recede from their position and
give some safe guarantee for the
future security of our civil and ec
clesiastical rights, they report in
favor of a separation from the ec
clesiastical jurisdiction of the said
general conference.’’
The report of the committee on
organization, taken up and adopted
on May 17 by a vote of ninety-four
yeas against three nays, declared
the “jurisdiction hitherto exercised
over said annual conferences (of the
slave holding states) by the general
conference of the Methodist Episco
pal church, entirely dissolved; and
that said annual conferences shall
be, and they hereby are, constituted
a separate ecclesiastical connection
under the provisional plan of sep
aration aforesaid and based upon
the discipline of the Methodist Epis
copal church, comprehending the
doctrines, and entire moral, ecclesi
astical, and economic rules and reg
ulations of said discipline except,
only, in so far as verbal alterations
may be necessary to a distinct or
ganization, and to be known by ,hc
style and title of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south.”
J irst Southern Conference.
They appointed the first general
conference of the southern church,
to meet on the first day of May,
1846. at Petersburg, Va., and thence
forth in the months of April or May,
once in four years, successively.
There were eighty-seven delegates,
appointed by the Louisville conven
tion, and representing sixteen annual
conferences, which assembled at the
1 etersburg general conference in
May, 1846.
On the second day of this confer
ence. a northern bishop, Joshua
Soule, formally declared his adher
ence to the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, and to the end of
the conference, Bishop Soule and
week. Dr. Bahnsen asserted that the
reinfestation cases had been noted in
south Georgia despite the precaution
of boarding up the cars, and he was
confirmed in these assertions by
Colonel W. L. Bryan, county attor
ney for Seminole county, near the
Florida border, wh‘o is assisting Dr.
Bahnsen in investigating the melon
situation. /
Roads Steck Postponement
It was understood that the Atlan
tic Coast Line railroad, the principal
in the injunction proceedings, and
the Seaboard Air Line railway, in
tervenor are anxious to reach
an agreement so that ripe
melons now ready for shipment may
be transported without any hitches
that might result from a court hear
ing. Both roads are under bonds of
810,000 each to. indemnify any dam
age.
In the agreement proposed it was
also stipulated that the railroads
would see that melons are packed in
hay, oat straw, excelsior or some
other material than pine straw dur
ing the next shipping season.
Assumption by the state of all
costs of tick eradication in south
Georgia counties bordering on Flor
ida and all expenses incurred by the
reinfestation of any county of the
state is urged in a resolution which
it is stated will be introduced in the
house Monday by Representative C.
E. Stewart, of Atkinson county, and
Representative W. M. Pafford, of
Lanier county.
The resolution will, it is said, seek
to amend Resolution No. 45, which
was given its first and second read
ings last June. It has been drafted
by T. R. Gress, assistant attorney
general. House resolution No. 45,
providing for an investigation of the
present plan for the eradication of
the cattle tick in southeast Georgia,
has been recommended to be passed
as amended by agricultural commit
tee N 0.2, of the house.
Following are the amendments to
be offered to the original resolution:
“1. Whereas, the eradication of
the cattle fever tick has been prac
tically completed except in those
counties of Georgia bordering on the
Florida state line—the latter state
being tick-infested—in which coun
ties the continuous dipping of cattle
for the past several years has been
enforced as a quarantine regulation
and as a means of protecting the in
terior counties of the state from a
reinfestation of the cattle fever tick;
and,
“Whereas, the expense and trouble
incident to this continuous vu.t con
struction and cattle-dipping has be
come so intolerably burdensome that
individual as well as county insol
vency is absolutely inevitable be
cause of the destruction of the cattle
industry, the confiscation of personal
property, and the laying waste of a
great portion of the lands adapted
to cattle-raising under the general
conditions heretofore pievailing;
therefore, be it
“Resolved, by the house of repre
sentatives, the senate concurring,
that all expenses of every character,
incident to the eradication of ticks
in the counties now infested, and in
the counties which have been rein
fested by cattle fever ticks, because
of the financial conditions prevailing
in suqh counties, as the result of the
destruction of said cattle-raising in
dustry, shall be borne by the state
of Georgia rather than the counties
involved.”
Bishop Andrews, who arrived after
the opening of the sessions, pre
sided in turn over the daily ses
sions.
IV hile the most definite plans for
unification have been produced since
1914, numerous overtures had been
brought fortn for many years back.
When Dr. Lovic Pierce was ap
pointed a fraternal delegate from the
south t» extend greetings to the
northern conference, of 1846, that
body, while extending him all per
sonal courtesies, refused to receive
him officially.
When Bishop Andrews learned of
the excitement and displeasure
caused by a report that one' of the
bihsops of the church was a slave
owner, he resolved to resign, accord
ing to the church history, and on
May 14, 1844, wrote to his daughter
as follows:
“I would most joyfully resign, if
it did not endanger the influence on
the southern church. I shall there
fore wait patientily a while longer.
The clouds are dark, but God ig in
the whirlwind and guides the storm.”
On May 16. he wrote to his wife:
“The entire delegation from the
twelve slave-holding states has met
and through a committee have ear
nestly protested against my resigna
tion under any circumstances as in
evitably destructive to the southern
church, and for the sake of that
church, 1 am resolved to maintain
my position and await the issue.”
The action of the southern dele
gates referred to by Bishop Andrews
was as«follows, according to the reso
lution recorded:
“Whereas, Bishop Andrews has
signified to the delegates of the con
ferences in the slave-holding states
a purpose to yield to the present dis
tressing urgency of the brethren
from the north and resign his office
of bishop, and whereas in a meeting
of said delegates to consider this
matter, after solemn prayer and
much deliberation, it appears to us
that his resignation would inflict an
incurable wound on the whole south
and inevitably lead to division in the
church. Therefore, we do unanimous
ly concur in requesting the bishop I
by all his love for the unity of the |
church, which his resignation will I
certainly jeopardize, not to allow him
self for any consideration to resign.
This was signed by Lovic Pierce,
chairman, and L. M. Lee, secretary,
in New York. May 10, 1844.
An exhaustive debate, famous in
the church annals, followed the pres
entation of a resolution to the gen
eral conference asking that Bishop
Andrews desist from lhe exercise of
his office as long as he should remain
a holder of slaves.
The resolution stated that this
“impediment will greatly embarrass
the exercise of his office as an itin
erant superintendent, if nest in some
places entirely prevent it.”
This debate developed radical dif
ferences of opinion among the north
ern and the southern delegates, par
ticularly concerning the constitu
tional powers of the general confer
ence.
The convention which organized
the Methodist Episcopal church,
south, at Louisville, Ky., was held
May 1-19, 1845. This bo?(y was com
posed of delegates elected by the an
nual conferences in the ratio of one
delegate for every eleven members.
It is said that the entire church,
north and south, awaited with much
inteerst the result of deliberations in
which probably 100 delegates partici
pated.
A discussion of nine days.followed
the offering of the resolution on Muy
5 of the conference, by Dr. W. A.
Smith and Dr. Lovic Pierce, which
was adopted on May 1-1, with one dis
senting vote declaring in favor of a
separation from the ecclesiastical ju
risdietioi of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
LEADERS OF METHODISM
READY FOR CONFERENCE
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 28
The exodus of bishops, connectional
secretaries, publishers and staff of
ficers from headquarters here to
Chattanooga, Tenn., will begin Sun
day evening to participate in a
called session of the general con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, convening July 2,
when the southern Methodists will
discuss the plan of unification with
the Methodist Episcopal church,
ratified last month by t'he north
general conference.
Every conference in southern
Methodism and in a number of for
eign fields will be represented.
Members of the southern unifica
tion commission will meet Monday
morning under the direction of
Bishop Edwin ,D. Mouzon, chair
man.
The College of Bishops will meet
July 1 at 2:30 p. m„ to arrange for
the opening of the conference.
Representatives of the northern
branch of the church are expected,
it is said.
The first session will be opened
at 9 o’clock Wednesday morning
with the roll call of delegates in
the soldiers’ and sailors’ memorial
hall.
Because of previous difference of
opinion, the constitutionality of the
call may be discussed on the floor
of the conference.
The approaching session, it is be
lieved, will mark a crisis in the
history of the religious world, not
only in Methodism, but in other de
nominations, which may consider
the action taken at this conference
as a precedent to be followed in
their own cases.
Melon Shipments
From Georgia Are
Heavy; Prices Good
MOULTRIE, Ga., June 27.—South
Georgia shipped at least 300 cars
of watermelons the first three days
of this week, local buyers estimate.
The movement during the last
three of the week will be even
heavier. The price has ranged from
$l5O to $550 per car f. o. b. the
shipping /point, it is stated. No
break in the market is looked for
until next week, but the demand in
the west is said to be less active
than it was last week because of
rain and unseasonably low tempera
tures.
Growers are being urged to load
all melons that are ready this week,
as those leaving as late as Satur
day wifi arrive in time for the
Fourth of July trade. The move
ment is expected to be light on
Monday and Tuesday of next week,
but by Wednesday or Thursday the
shipping season will be at its high
est point.
Competiton from Florida is not
having as bad effect on the market
as some melon men a few weeks
ago thought it would prove to be.
The crop produced in that state is
one of the smallest it has shipped
in a number of years, less than 2,300
cars having gone from there by the
close of June 23 against more than
4.000 cars by the same date in
1923.

8 USY TIME JHESO
FOR LEGISLATORS
BEGIN® MONOM'
Preliminaries having been dispos
ed of, committee organization intact
from last year, the governor’s mes
sage digested and the calendars hold
ring enough business to keep both
houses busy for some time, the gen
eral assembly plans to get down to
business in real earnest Monday
morning at 11 o’clock, after the
week-end recess.
The hotrse calendar contains much
more pending legislation than that
of the senate. When the lower house
convenes Monday morning, it will be
faced with consideration of the mo
tor bus lin e bill, which provides
that the public service commission
shall take jurisdiction over the mo
tor bus lines in this state. The
measure passed the senate last year.
Opponents of this bill declare
that th e Georgia Railway and Pow
er company, as well as the railroads,
are backing the proposal with the
idea of restricting the operation of
jitneys in the larger cities, while
the inter-city bus lines, now in their
infancy in Georgia, would also be
subject to more strict regulation
than at present. It is proposed to
amend the measure so as to exempt
motor bus lines operating entirely
within the boundaries of any munic
ipality, but several opponents are
for killing the bill altogether.
By its action Friday in reconsider
ing its action in killing the bill to»
compel vehicular traffic to stop at all
railroad grade crossings, the house
put this measure bapk on the calen
dar for future consideration. The
vote to reconsider was 74 to 70 and
it takes 108 votes to pass a bill in
the lower house.
Repeal of Tobacco Tax
Another matter that will claim the
attention of the house next week is
the bill to repeal th e tobacco tax
statute which was enacted last year.
Herman Milner, of Dodge county, au
thor of the bill, is outspoken in his
criticism of the manner in which the
tobacco tax act has been adminis
tered, and declares his entire wil
lingness to see the repeal measure
pass unless the administration of the
tax is strengthened materially. He
has under consideration the advis
ability of amending the act so as to
compel registration of retail tobacco
dealers to define the status of a re
tail dealer, and to bring about more
uniform enforcement of the tax col
lection.
The senate calendar is lacking in
important measures ready for imme
diate consideration. On Wednesday,
by special order, the upper branch
will consider the resolution, already
passed by the house, to authorize
the city of Atlanta, by charter

amendment, to construct viaducts
over the railroad tracks at Pryor
street and Central avenue. The tax
equalization repeal bill also is on the
calendar and should come up early
in the week. Most of the important
bills are in the hands of committees,
but can be disposed of without much
delay and put on the calendar for
final reading.
There is considerable speculation
in both houses as to the possibility
of passing the biennial session bill
at this time. The governor
cates such a measure and it has ad
herents in both houses, but opposi
tion has developed and a bitter fight
is* in prospect. The same situation
is apparent with reference to the
measure giving statehouse officers
four-year terms. Veteran legislators
are of the opinion that neither bill
will get through without « strenu
ous contest.
Tax legislation is not commanding
the attention it did last session. The
governor’s message, wnile advocat
ing certain reforms, did not empha
size this feature particularly, and
the issue has not developed any par
ticular strength thus far, although
opponents of the tax equalization
law ar e numerous in both houses.
Reports on Bills Expected
Committees of both houses already
have begun functioning and many
bills are expected to be reported out
early this week, thus giving the leg
islators plenty of business matters
for their consideration.
Th e proposal to issue $40,000,000
in state highway bonds is to come
up shortly in the house, as ig the
measure which would authorize the
issuance of $8,000,000 state bonds
for the building of schoolhouses and
additional facilities at the various
state colleges.
The emergency appropriations for
variations for various state instU®
tions, educational and
will command attention within thnS
next few days.
