THE AMERICAN NAVY
WILL Be INCREASED
is BELIEF OF NAVAL CIRCLES
ON ACCOUNT OF THE GREAT
EUROPEAN WAR.
MAY ASK FOR SUBMARINES

Believed Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels' Regular Message to Congress
in December viii Also Call For
Two DreadnOughts.
WASHINGTON.-This great Euro
pean war will cause a vast increase
in the American navy during the
next two years according to the be-
lief in naval circles today.
On a reliable authority it is stated
that Secretary of the Navy Daniels
will recommend to congress in De-
cember the construction of two bat
tleships. The secretary in his direct
message will ask for only two bat
tleships, but experimenting his rec
| concentrations will be the recon-
mendations of the general board,
which will ask for four dreadnoughts
and five cruisers.
The fate of such a program before
| congress will be controlled almost
entirely by the war. If by the time
congress meets again the war is still
raging public sentiment may sanction
such a ship policy.
But if there is a lull and peace
plans appear possible it may be i'm
possible for the recommendation to
be given serious consideration, espe-
cialIy the recommendations of both
the secretary and the general board.
At the beginning of this month the
secretary discussed with the board
the naval program for next year, and
the needs of the navy were gone over
thoroughly, The cruisers were con-
sidered for use for such duty as was
performed at Vera Cruz.
Naval experts regard the sending
Of battleships to Vera Cruz as a poor
policy and they declare it has had
demoraliztng effect upon the navy.
It is pointed out that the entire
regular work of the Atlantic fleet
has been interfered with and that the
junior officers have had no opportu-
nifty to engage in battle target prac-
tice. 1t is also stated that the entire
personnel of the fleet has been out
of training.
Reports about Washington declare
that the general board will for the
first time recommend the construc-
ton of submarines. The efficient
work of U-90, the German submarine
which sank three British cruisers, is
said to have made a profound impress
sion upon the naval circles
1t is understood that the demo-
cratic leaders in both the house and
senate Lave advised Secretary Dan
iels that it will be unw'se for him to
recommend the construction of more
than two battleships. For this rea-
son the secretary did not accept the
full recommendation of the general
board and will not include them in
the body of his message.

mitted on trial at the last session OF
| the conference.
Invitations For 1915 Conference.
Already two churches have signi-
fed their purpose of extending an
invitation to entertain the conference
during it's session in 1915. These
congregations are Cordele and Ep-
worth church, Savannah, both of
which are just completing modern
and commodious church edifices. AS
the South Georgia Conference Bible
Institute was held in Cordele last
June, at which time many ministers
expressed their desire for the con-
ference be held there in 1915, it is
thought the next session viii be held
in that enterprising Hub City" and
the session of 1916 will be held at
Epworth, Savannah.
A Year of Spiritual Prosperity.
The current conference year has
been one of great spiritual prosperity
in many of the churches of the con-
ference, particularly at First church,
Brunswick, Rev. c. A. Jackson, pas
tor; at Cordele, Rev. Walter Antho-
ny, pastor; at Trinity, Savannah,
Rev. T. B. Stanford, pastor; Cente-
nary, Macon Rev. 10y Warwick,
pastor; at Mt. Vernon and Glenwood,
Rev. H. c. Ewing, pastor; at Wrens,
Rev. T. A. Mosley, pastor, and in a
number of other charges.
A Good Year Financially.
While the war scare may have had
a degree of depression upon the pre-
siding elders and pastors in raising
the assessments ordered by the annu-
al conference yet it is confidently be-
lieved that most of the pastors will
report "all assessments in full, bish-
op," at the Dawson conference.

OVER ANNUAL CONFERENCE
BEGINNING HERE NOV. 20.
CORDElE WANTS THE
CONFERENCE NEXT YEAR

Just About One Hundred Years Ago
First Itinerant Methodist Preacher
Held Regulation Service in Terri
tory Adjacent to Terrell County
BY Rev. w. A. Brooks.
BLACKSHEAR, Ga.-The forty
eighth annual session of the South
Georgia Conference will be held in
Dawson November 25-3Oth.
Just about one hundred years ago
the first itinerant Methodist preacher
held regulation service in that sec
ton of the state. Then followed the
formation of three missions, the Lee,
the Etowah and the Randolph.
Rev. James DunwOody, one OF
Georgia's pioneer Methodist preach
ers. was among the first to serve the
territory embraced now and former
" in Lee, Sumter and Marion coun-
ties. In "Dunwoody's Life it is
stated that his success on the mis-
sion was but meager. In 1926 the
county of Lee was formed and was
named in honor of Light Horse
Harry. In 1856 Randolph county
was formed and named in honor of
John Randolph; and in 1856 Terrell
county was formed from Lee and
Randolph counties and called in hon
or of DR.. William Terrell of Han
cock county. DR.. Terrell at one time
represented that county in the legis-
Iature and was from 1917 to 1921 a
member Of congress.
Thriving City of Dawson.
Dawson, the county site of Terrell
and the seat of the approaching ses-
sion of the South Georgia Confer
ence, is a thriving municipality of
1000 inhabitants and is far-famed
for its unstinted and large-hearted
hospitality. The forty-eighth session
OF the conference bids fair to be one
of the most pleasant within the en-
tire, history of the body.
The Methodist church in Dawson,
where the conference sessions will be
held, is a handsome and well ap-
pointed edifce. erected in 1892 dur
ing the pastorate of Rev E. M. Whit
ing, of sainted memory. The pastors
since that date have been Rev. J. H.
.Scruggs, D. D., of First Church, Way
cross; Rev. o. F. Cook, of Thomas
vile; Rev. o. B. Chester, pastor of
st. Luke, Columbus; Rev. ]. P. Nc
Ferrin, D. D., presiding elder of the
Macon district, and Rev. Elliott F.
Morgan, the present pastor and the
host of the conference.
Rev. E. F. Morgan was appointed
to the Methodist pastorate in Dawson
after having served a successful
quadrennium as presiding elder of
the McRae District. He is now COM
plotting a quadrennium Of splendid
service as pastor in Dawson. During
the last four years upward of 200
members have been received into the
church and approximately $4,000
raised for foreign missions, and the
various departments of church en-
deavor are well organized. Rev. Mr..
Morgan will be, by statute of limit
alton, assigned to a new field of labor
for the ensuing conference year.

The network of nerves in your body,
like the network of wires in a burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at 1t in this way a pain Is
a useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is a dangerous thing-a condition
not to be neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Backache is a common warning Of
congestion or inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull, nagging pain, or
a sharp twinge when stopping or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
Of urination, dizziness. headaches, and
drowsy, Respondent, tired feelings.
1t is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks. gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
AS a special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all owe the civilized
world, and surely are considered reli-
able. The patient can always help the
medicine immensely, however, by diet
ing lightly, using little or no liquor
tea or coffee, keeping regular hours
and drinking lots Of pure water.
