FIGHT DOWN IN SECOND
WILL END TODAY.
Spence, Knight and Rod
denberry Sprint.

Dawson, Ga, Feb. 9-Interest in the
congressional contest in the Second
district is keying up perceptibly as
the date fixed for the primary draws
near. This is no more than was to
be expected but there is still a dearth
Of that enthusiasm which has marked
so many memorable campaigns in the
district.
This is attributed to the fact that
the present race is for the short term
only, with the campaign for the long
term, but few months away. The
primary for the full two-year term
will take place next August
AS has been stated before none of
the three candidates was a warm POI
litical partisan of Congressman Griggs
and that is full explanation of the
present lack of ''Whoop 'em up poll
ties in the district
1t is at least, a sufficient explana-
| ton to many who always took of
their coats when Jim Griggs had OPP
| position, but who are taking no part in
this campaign.
1t is considered certain that there
will be in the race for the long term,
aspirants not in the present contest.
It is taken for granted that the sue
cessful man in next Thursdays pri-
mary will be candidate again in the
summer, but no one believes that he
will be unopposed

DR.. ANTHONY MAKES
CHANGE AT COLUMBUS
Calls on Steward to Help
Serve Communion.

| Rev. DR.. Bascom Anthony, for the
past three years pastor of the Ameri-
Gus Methodist church, has signaIizad
his advent into the pastorate of St.
Lukes church, at Columbus, by an
! innovation in the method of admins
tering the sacrement of the communion
| that is regarded as likely to provoke a
considerable discussion both within
and without church circles. The Led
ger of Monday afternoon tells of the
innovation as follows:
"At the Sunday morning services at
st. Luke church, Dr. Bascom Anthony
/ pastor of the church, announced that
he was going to make a departure
from the regular mode of administer
ing the sacrament and call a member
of the board of stewards of the church
to assist him in that work
This statement of the pastors oc-
casioned some surprise as it was the
first time such thing had even oc-
I Cured in the history of the church
1t is easily seen by the members of
| the various Methodist churches not
only in the city, but throughout the
country, why minister needs help in
administering the sacrament The need
of help is seen especially in the larger
churches where several hundred mem
bers have to take sacrament.
REV. DR.. Anthony after making his
announcement Sunday called on Mr.
G. j. Peacock, one of the oldest mem
g&f gef the board of stewards and for
rs I2as chairman of the board 10
ASST ktt~th@5arnfa work of administer
ing the Sa33 %, fhe,sas. This departure
from the discibfssffaa4ge rs church is
the first instance Of TIE 81 in the
history of the Columbus churches and
so far as is known in the history of
the Methodist churches in the south
Or. Anthony stated that he was
a member of the general conference
and that he was going to bring the
matter of making a change in the
discipline before that body when it
met. He will endeavor to have the
discipline so changed that a member
of the board of stewards may assist
in administering the sacrament. He
will impress upon the members Of
the general conference the need Of
an assistant in the work Of admits
tering the sacrament and do all in his
power to bring about the proposed
change.
The pastor told the members Of the
board of stewards of hisuechurch to
think the matter oxasssSse ween this
time and confere2a<s eI view of
memoralizing 5sisssheral conference
when that b94pSneets to make the
change. DR.. 4kthony is of the opinion
that the matter will be discussed by
the various conference and churches
throughout the south before the meet
ing of the general conference and he
thinks that the discipline Will be 50
changed as to allow member of the
board of stewards to assist in the
work Of administering the sacrament
in future.
"Dr Anthony recognizes the difficult
ty to be experienced in changing the
discipline of the church, but he thinks
that when there is such need for a
change in the discipline, that it can
be brought about without any great
difficulty. In the meantime theinova-
ton made by DR.. Anthony in his
church will be watched with more
than passing interest"

FLANDERS TWENTY" ENDS
LONG TRIP TO MEXICO CITY

The long run of the Flanders ts20''
automobile, "Under Three Flags
which left Quebec June 6, ended under
the shadow of Popocatepetl, Mexico
City, August 12. The car pulled into
the city covered with mud after fast
days run. the home stretch Of which
comprised the first good roads met with
in the republic.
= A dramatic feature of the arrival was
the fact that the car was piloted to the
finish by W. ]. Lane, the regular
driver, who. In spite of severe illness
which afflicted him all through Mexico,
insisted, against the advice Of physic-
ians. on accompanying tine car to the
erd.
Lane Travelled ahead of the car
through the greater part of Mexico, but
was assisted to the wheel at the finish
ani remained There.
A big parade of EMF "30s.' Elan
ders "20s'' and other cars met the
nUnder Three Flags" outfit near the
city limits. and the triumphal entry
was one long to be remembered A
large popular demonstration occurred at
tho st. Charles ". monument, which
was passed en- route TO the garage of
MohIer & Defiress.
The flanders is the first car to enter
Mexico from Laredo and the first to
traverse a large share of territory
which was travelled from there to the
end Of the trip. The total mileage for
the Tip was 4127, little longest than
the shortest distance by rail between
tie two points.

CHAUFFEURS' EXAMINATIONS
ARE BECOMING MORE STRICT

1t is becoming steadily more difficult
for person to qualify as chauffeur
in Massachusetts, and under the pres
ent requirements it is almost impossible
for an applicant to secure a license un-
less he is thoroughly capable. No
drastic change has been made In the
examination, but the standard has
been raised little by little, with the re-
suit that only about two-thirds of the
applicants are now receiving licenses.
Two years ago about three-quarters
of the applicants were licensed and
three years ago about seven.eighths.
During the past three years the num-
ber of persons applying for examina-
tion has increased rapidly. Under the
system now in effect less attention is
given the written examination than the
road test. Formerly each applicant
had to answer list Of about twenty
FIVE questions. Now there are only
about twelve questions on the paper
for the written examination.
Nine of these usually deal with the
automobile laws and rules of the road,
and the other three pertain to the
mechanical control and proper opera
ton Of n motor vehicle. The same ex-
animation paper is not used right along,
but there is series of papers, and
each week different paper is used,
