APPOINTED DISTRICT MANAGER
FOR SOUTHWEST GEORGI 4
E. b. Lupo to Represent Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Co.

Mr.. E. D. Lupo has been appointed
district manager for the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Co. with head
quarters at Americus. Mr.. Lupo will
have exclusive charge of this con-
pany's business in this section of the
state, his district comprising twenty
two counties.
His company, The Northwestern
Mutual Life of Milwaukee, Wis., is
we'll known in Georgia. 1t is the larg-
est purely American company in tie
United States and the fourth largest
life insurance company in the worl |.
It's record for liberality in it's policy
contracts, and for its large dividends
to policyholders is said to be unsur-
passed. Many of the best business
men of Americus carry policies in The
Northwestern and are we'll pleased
with the results obtained.
While in Atlanta Mr.. Lupo was dis
trict sales manager for the Cont
mental Gin Co.. with which concern he
was connected twenty wears.

HENRY COLLIER 4 GUTTER
IN LINEUP FOR TECH
Leaves Atlanta For Virginia Military
Institute.

Henry Latimer, the star all-Sout1
ern pitcher of Techs 1910 baseball
team, will not be back with the Jack
cts this season. Collier has gone tc
tte Virginia Military Institute.
This news brings sadness to Tech
students and gladness to the players oil
the other s. l. A. \ colleges. Collier s
absence from the Yellow Jackets line
up this season will be a heavy blow
to the team and does not lorigEten Up
Techs prospects any.
Collier was considered by many
to be the best amateur twirler in the
South, and he was a big factor IN
Techs baseball success last season
The fact that Collier will not play
with Tech this year will throw most
of the pitching work on Doc" Wilson
who is a promising twirler. Tiere
are several men at Tech, though, who
may develop in time to help out the
Jackets next season.

ORATORS IN JOINT
DEBATE in SCHOOL
Societies Of the High School
| Discuss
Subjects Of Interest in Joint Debate
on Fridays Spirit is Fully
Evidenced in the Able Arguments
Put Forth.

The Americus High School is for5-
ing to the front in all of the details
that go to make up an up-to-daie
thoroughly progressive public educa-
tiOnal institution.
In athletics the SCHOOL is undoubc-
edly destined to take front rank with
in the coming year. The boys of all
grades are displaying tAe usual keen
interest Of healthy youths in tie OUT
door sports that are now being en-
cOuraged as part of the all-round de-
yelopment that belongs to the higher
education of boys just verging on to
manhood
But not only in athletics is there the
desire TO attain a high degree of pro-
ficiency and be prepared to illustrate
Americus pluck ami skill in contests
with the representatives of other
cities. In tire fields of oratory and
debate, two arenas of mental activity
in which Southern men have been
especially prominent, a stimulus has
been impaired this year such as tfa
High School tnd probably neynl
known before in it's long and honor
able history.
Two debates have already been held
in which the participants have Shown
considerable ability. Self confidence
is being repid'y acquired by the me.n
bers. of the debating societies and a
rapid improvement is noticeable in
their power of expression and a5:lit.
to discuss questions clearly and leg
ically.
Before the winter is over it is pro-
posed to issue a challenge to tie de-
batting societies Of the High Schools
of Albany, Cordele and Columbus TO
take part in a joint debate, at An.eri-
Gus, with the crack debaters of the
High School of this city, on some sub
ject yet to be selected. 1t is believed
tile challenge will be accepted and an
exceedingly interesting public joint
debate be held A gold medal may be
offered as tle prize, or silk bannC +,
on which the name of the winning
school would be emblazoned in god
every year.
The details of such a contest will
probably be worked out during the
next sixty days and tie challenge
formally issued.

TO MEET INATHENS

Conference of North GEORGIA
MGthOdiStS.
viii Assemble in the Classic City
With Large Attendance Bishop A.
". Wilson to Preside at the Church
Deliberations.
Especial to Ttme-sRecorder) J


Atlanta, Ca, October 22.-The 44tl
session of the North Georgia Confer
ence will meet in Athens on Novem
Der 18th, Bishop A. w. Wilson, The
senior bishop of the Methodist Epis
copal church, South, presiding Tais
is by no means the first time the fol
lowers of John Wesley have met il
the Classic City. Seventy-three years
ago conference was held in Ath
ems presided over by Bishop Morris
and several sessions of the Georgia
conference have interviewed that anC
and this.
Bishop Wilson comes to find a very
different situation from that which
Bishop Morris found in 1887. EDis-
copal MetfOdism in America in 1897
was one. Bishop Wilson comes &c
represent now a Methodist Episcopal
church, South, which is stronger lu-
merically financially and in every
way.
In 1887 the Georgia conference re
ported 500 members added within tie
bounds of the conference that year.
This year the pastors of the North
Georgia conference will report sew
eral thousand additions, while t,la
financial exhibit will, of course, De
proportionately larger. than it was in
1887 1t is safe to say, however, that
Bishop Morris did not find in 1887
so much difficulty in adjusting the
appointments of the preachers of the
Georgia conference as Bishop Wilson
and his cabinet will find in making
the appointments of the North Geor-
gia conference in 1910
The demands of the churches are
greater and tie number to be a5-
pointed is large.
This brings to mind some of the
appointments which must be fill "a
with new men at the approaching COZ
ference.
Two of the eleven presiding elders
have served four years each on their
respective districts and will, there,
fore, have to be moved DR.. Lee IS
transferred to st Louis, DR.. French
to Nashville, Dr. Wilkinson to Louis
Vile and DR. McRee to St. Johns
church, Augusta, is reported to be ex-
tremely i'll, and will probably not be
able to take work. So far but ont
transfer into the conference has been
announced, namely DR.. T. r. Kendall
who comes from Louisville.
The reports of the pastors indicate
a year of great prosperity in every de-
partment of church work Especially
will the reports of the Atlanta district
be gratifying. Athens, of course, il
making great preparations for the
most cordial and hospitable entertain
ment of the preachers.

But this unsatisfactory condition is
gradually passing away. Not rapidly
but surely.
Already some of the more import
ant cross road points have substantial
posts at the corner witt, arms reach
ing out bearing the guiding notice ''Tc
Plains or ITO Smithvilee," or "Tc
Ellaville," as the case may be.
This is in keeping with the Georgia
law on the subject which says:
''Overseers 's2all measure all that
part of the roads to which they may
be appointed, beginning at the court,
house, and at the end of each mile
shall set UP post or q mark in some
conspicuous place wnicfl shall desig-
nate the number of miles from thence
to the courthouse
They shall at the fork of each
public road, place in some substan-
tial and conspicuous manner, a board
or otter mark designating thereon the
most public place to which each ro2d
directs, and if any road is altered Sc
as to make the fork at some other
place, or as not to make necessar-
sign boards, they shall be removed.
