American Board Prospects.

The American board, which is Con-
gretional foreign missions, reports
three developments, two favorable,
the other the opposite. Young Turks
are making it possible to train lead
ers for Turkish people who will, the
board believes, sometime open up
copper, silver, coal and other treas
ures, the embarrassed water power
of splendid rivers, and give Occupa-
ton and food to millions of people
now living in hutS of mud and straw,
often starving for lack of food and
shivering with cold. From an Amer
lean donor the board recently receiv-
ed $1,0O0,000 for endowment of it's
colleges and seminaries in it's twenty
mission fields. Hardly was the sum
in it's hands before it was able to
award money to a seminary in South
Africa, the only school for the train
ing of educated leaders of the Zulus.
Its act will, it believes, have influence
upon the entire mission work of
South Africa. Lastly, the board
sounds an alarm concerning it's in
come. That income in February,
1911, was 81, 900 less than in Feb
ruary, 1910, and for the half year
just ended it is $55,7OO short of the
hal fit ought to have on hand if it is
to end the year in August next with
out debt. Its actual receipts to March
1 last were $25O,OOO, and it's ap-
preparations to August 81 next are
1912, 400. The board, in it's bulletin
just issued, states that indications
point to deficit, as has come to
three other societies whose fiscal
/ years have just ended.

WATSON TRAILS CONSPIRACY
THE M'DUFFIE MAN INSISTS HIS
LIFE is IN DANGER.
issues Another Statement in Which
He Accuses Well Known Politi-
clans of Desire for His Life.

clans OF DcSlTe loI Ills
ATLANTA.-Thos. E. Watson il
still making a persistent search fol
the men who, he alleges, tried to take
his life at his home at Thomson sew,
eral months ago.
Mr.. Watson is trying to fasten the
crime upon certain well known pol
iticians," whom he does not name
but he is seeking first to get at those
he calls their 'hirelings."
In a recent statement to the press
he mentioned having received a let
ter from one of them, who was evil
IDENTIFY sorry for what he had done,
and wanted to warn Mr.. Watson to
be on his guard, as his life was still
in danger.
But Mr.. Watson has done more
than that; he has sent personal
friends to Atlanta and inserted an
advertisement in one of the Atlanta
papers in an effort, it is said, to get
into communication with one of the
conspirators. Whether he got any
thing is not known, as Mr.. McGregOr
was quite secretive while here, and
refused to discuss his mission.
But it is known that Mr.. Watson
has friends at work trying to locate
the alleged conspiratOrs; also that he
believes still that certain we'll known
Georgia politicians are even yet con-
spring against his life.
1t will be recalled that consider
able sensation was stirred up at
Thomson several months ago by the
report that several mysterious char
acters had been seen around the
Watson home; that they were there
with pistols, daggers and dynamite
for the purpose of shooting, stabbing
or blowing the editor of the Jeffer-
sonian off the face of the earth.
There have been some so unkind
as to accuse Mr.. Watson of a desire
to keep alive his publicity through
this story Of the attempt on his life
because it is an off political season
and he cannot, therefore, keep him
self in the public eye through poll
tics.
But there is every indication that
Mr. Watson believes himself in this
case the victim of a conspiracy, one
which has, so far, been foiled, but
nevertheless, a conspiracy.
The names of the politicians whom
he accuses have not been made pub
lie, but they are well known all over
Georgia, and there would be no small
interest added to the case were these
names made public.

SCHOOL MA'AM TO GET So, 900, 900
Miss Swygert Says She Will Stick to
Her Job in Atlanta Mill District.

Miss Lillian E. Swygert, who for
the last five years has been a school
teacher at the school house connected
with the Atlanta Wooden Mills, has
just received information that as the
result of the death of an uncle in
Germany she has become immensely
rich. Report puts the amount of her
inheritance at six millions of dol
lars.
Her uncle, who was also her god
father, failed to marry He was a
wealthy mine operator, and is said
to have left a tremendous fortune to
be divided among his nieces, each
share being approximately $4,000
600. Miss Swygert says there is a
provision in the will that the estate
is not to be divided until one of the
nieces, now 16 years old, becomes OF
age.
She has, however, received several
other inheritances, which make her
practically Independent, but says she
likes the work she is doing and pro-
poses to stick to it.

Advance of Presbyterians South.

During the ten years of this new
century southern Presbyterians have
gained 24.75 per cent in contribu-
tons to missions in their own field.
So marked has been the growth of
churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Flor
ida and Arkansas that a halt has
had to be called on evangelistic eff
fort until churches already estab-
lished can be equipped. Consolida-
ton of colored and evangelistic work
has been effected within the year,
and there are to be turned over to
Southern Presbyterians half a dozen
or more Reformed churches estab-
lished some years ago in Oklahoma.
Northern Presbyterians expect to Sc
cure allegiance of a few of these
Reformed churches. The latter, de-
Gliding to retire, brought about some
rivalry among the Presbyterians for
the succession that would control.
The Southern Presbyterian home
mission board handled last year
$221,600, a considerably larger sum
than in any previous year There

Permanent Methodist World Body

Permanent Methodist World Body.
When the Methodists of the world
meet in Toronto next fall-three
hundred representatives from North
America and Japan and two hundred
from Europe, Australia, South Afri-
ca and the mission fields of Asia
a permanent organization of World
Methodists will be formed, compe-
tent to speak and act for Methodists
on great questions like world peace,
world missions and christian unity.
The present ecumenical conference
meets but,once in ten years, and is in
charge of committees formed for
conference purposes only. Extension
of a christian brotherhood of Meth
odists will be approved, and if Sir
Robert w. Perks of London, one of
the European members, has his way
a far larger use of laymen as regular
preachers in place of salaried min
listers will be recommended to Meth
Odists of all countries. In England
3 10, 900 Methodist laymen preach each
week to settled congregations, serv-
ing wholly without salaries. Metho-
dists in the United States favor ex-
tension of the plan here, it is said,
both for wider preaching of the Cos
pei at least cost and because the plan
extends the personal acquaintance
and influence of christian laymen, re-
sulting in their election to political
office and other posts of public trust.
Laymen's associations of annual con-
ferences are considering this Iaymen
plan with view of recommending
it to the next general conference,
which meets in Minneapolis in May,
1912.
