GOES ON RECORD
Council of Congregational
Churches by Big Majority
Votes in Favor of a Federal
PrOhibitory Amendment.

Kansas City, Oct. 4.-By vote OF
SIT to IA today, the National Councll
of Congregational churches went on
record as in favor of prohibition, de-
feating a movement headed py cover
nor Baldwin of Connecticut, who OPP
posed the adoption as unconstitutional
of the report of the temperance COM
rnittee favoring an amendment to the
federal constitution prohibiting forever
the manufacture, sale, importation, ana
expectation of intoxicating beverages
throughout the United States. The rec
concentrations of the committee were
read by Rev. John Faville, of Appleton.
He said: 1.-The supreme court of the
United States has already paved the
way for such an amendment to the
constitution and we believe it is time
to take action on the temperance ques-
ton"
This statement of Mr.. Faville was
challenged bv a number of lawyers,
delegates in the body. He explained
that the statement was made in general
terms that the supreme court had ruled
against the liquor traffic as a business.
They have practically declared it I'M
constitutional have they not?" he ask
ed the directors.
mo, no." they chorused, and at that
time Governor Baldwin arose to state
his objections.
This is a proposition" said Cover
nor Baldwin, ito have the council
change it's speciality from religion to
political science. 1t is beyond the
province of this council to promote any
amendment to the~constitution of the
United States. We may pledge our
selves and our churches but this
amendment to the federal constitution
is contrary to the genius of government.
Home rule is the foundation of the
government. Let the states regulate
and not the United States"
Charles N. Prouty of Spencer, Mass,
called attention to the vast waste of
men and money as result of the liquor
traffic. Government statistics Show"
he said, that $2,700,000,000 was spent
last year for liquor and 81 200, 0OU, 900
more for things that go with liquor
Unless we stop this waste we will all
be beggars. There is no personal lib
erty without mortality
Rev. w. NJ. Barton of Oak Park,
ILL.,, speaking in favor of temperance,
said:
we ought to uphold the work Of the
anti-saloon league. Never has it seem
ed to overreach just limits I am not
a fanatic but I cannot see how a min
lister who has had experience with al
coholic drinks and their effect on men
should not be a fanatic. Let our word
go out from here, whether we do a
constitutional thing or not that we are
for temperance. The world won't for
give US If we don't go on record against
the traffic in alcohol

TWO CROPS APPLES.
They VIII Be Harvested in Saline
County.

Salina, Kan. Oct. A.-Two crops OF
apples in Saline county is the plan OF
several farmers in thisNvieinity. 1t has
been common to see the trees in bloom
for the second time but rarely have
the apples grown to any size. This
year in one instance it is different.
Trees in bloom the second time are
too common this year to talk about.
They are on almost every country lot
and every farm. But many of them
blossoms have fallen off.
T. A. White, living three miles west
of town, has a possible chance for a
second crop of crab apples. His trees
came out a few weeks ago in full bios
SONS. Then most of the blossoms fell
off and now the trees are filled with
tiny apples. Some o fthem are not SO
small, either. There are many second
CROP apples on that tree as large as
bird eggs.

YOUNG LAWYER
DRAWS ATHENS
CHARTERFORM
Measure Before Legislature Pro-
poses Commission Government
to Replace Council System.

ATHENS, July 19.-The bill to re-
place the present Mayor and Council
system Of the city government in Ath-
ems by commission government that
was introduced in the Legislature by
Representative Rhodes, of Clarke
County, this week, was drafted by one
of the youngest attorneys in the state,
Joseph L. Deadwyler, who has been
out of the University Law School but
a year and is now a member Of the
Athens bar.
If this bill passes the House and
Senate and comes before the people
of Athens for ratification or rejection,
1t Is sure to cause a warm local fight,
because the present administration
has been one Of the most successful
in the history of the city. and many
voters are going to be hard to con-
vince that a change is necessary.
Another bill Of vital interest to Ath
ems and Clarke County is the one,
also introduced by Representative
Rhodes, to abolish the present Coun-
ty Commissioners of Clarke County
and provide for their successors cleo
ton by the people instead of appoint
Ing them by the Grand Jury as here
tofore.

Late Fall Forecast
By Griffin Prophet
Professor" Snider Says First Killing
Frost Will Come Novem-
Der IL or 10.

GRIFFIN. JJiy 10 Because Of the
fact that the great majority Of his pre-
dictions concerning the weather have
come true, the people Of Spalding Coun-
ty are beginning to give attention OF
Professor" A l.. Snider, a local labor
err, who has been studying the clouds all
of his life. Snider is without education,
has little knowledge Of the planets, and
possesses no equipment for observing
the heavenly bodies, yet he makes pre-
dictions Of weather several weeks ahead
and they come true with marvellous ac-
CuraCy
About six weeks ago Snider issued the
forecast that July would be ushercd in
with hot and dry spell, and that heavy
rains would fall on July 1. Also he
pruphesied that cool spells would come
on July and 9, and again about July
~ ana 10 Al his prophecies came true
Professor" SnideT's latest prognosti-
cation is that no killing frost will come
this year until November - or 10, He
bases his Judgment as TO this on the fact
that the fan will be late as was the
spring and that the fun moon in OCto-
her viii not be cold enough to hurt any
thing, and that vegetation will grow till
the middle Of November before being
killed
The farming classes are rejoicink in
this last prediction, and praying that It
may come as nearly true as the ones
previously given out.
