CHANCE TO BUY CHURCHES
AT A BARGAIN SALE
Eighteen Are Offered in New
YOrk City

New York, Feb 16,-Rev. W. D.
Stevens, pastor of the First Reformed
Episcopal church, announced today
that the church property was to be
placed upon the market, the price
asked being 100000. Mr. Stevens
explained that the membership had
become SO scattered that a new
church in a less expensive neighbor-
hood would serve as we'll as the pres
ent structure, the difference in cost
allowing of an endowment fund.
At least eighteen large churches
in Manhattan are known to be on the
market, representing a total value of
around $12,O0O,0OO. These do rot,
however, represent falling congrega-
tions, but the desire Of the churches
to follow the SHIFT in population.

LOOK LONGNGLY
At SANDALS OF
SENATOR BACON
DOZEN READY FOR THE RACE
Quickly as Funeral Service
is Over

Atlanta, Ga, Feb 16.-The Journal
predicts that Clark Howell, editor OF
the Atlanta Constitution, and former
candidate for governor of Georgia,
will be appointed by Governor Slaton
to fill Senator Bacon's place in the
United States senate until the special
election. Other predictions are:
Joseph M. Brown, former governor
Iof Georgia.
John T. Boifeuillet, Senator Bacon
private secretary.
James R. Smith, of Atlanta.
Nat E. Harris, of Macon.
Peter Meldrim, of Savannah.
w. S. West. of valdosta.
Samuel b. Adams, of Savannah.
W. w. Howard, of Lexington.
w, A. Little, of Columbus.
Thomas S. Fielder, atterney-gen
|of Georgia, who is expected to be a
candidate before the people for the un-
expired term of Senator Bacon.
W. G. Brantley, of Atlanta, formerly
.of Brunswick
E. H. Galloway Of Augusta.
W. w. Osborne, of Savannah.
The chief question of interest, of
course, is;
Will Governor Slaton himself be a
candidate for the unexpired term?
1t is argued that Governor Slaton
will not be a candidate, on the
ground that the people of Georgia
will not submit to having both SEN
ators from the same city. His only
alternative, therefore, in the event
that he wants to go to the senate, Is
t. oppose Senator Hoke Smith this
summer. However, it is not believed
that he will do rs as now, since
Senator Bacon's e n, Senator Smith
is naturally bigger man than ever
and more certain OF reelection.
While Ex-Governor Brown has been
suggested as the probable appointee
for the short term, it is generally felt
here that he will not be named. In
fact, it is argued that Mr.. Brown is
out of politics for good.
Joe Hill Hall, of Macon, is looked
upon also as one of the possibilities
who may be considered by Governor
Slaton.

WATERMELONS in
ABUNDANCE Will
GROW IN SUMTER
Big FIELDS near AMERICUS
Success in 1918 Encourages
Growers

That Americus will be an important
shipping point for watermelons this
summer is reflected in preparations
made by growers for larger acreage
than last. season, which produced such
a remunerative crop. The territory
between Americus and Andersonville,
along the line of the Central railway,
is especially adapted to the growth of
watermelons, cantaloupes and melons
generally.
Growers around Andersonville were
unusuallq successful last esason, and
cleaned up several thousand dollars
profits in the 125 carloads melons
shipped.
There will be more watermelons
planted around Americus this year
than has ever been the case before,
and the shipments are expected to be
the hayiest in the history of the crop, .
said a grower here. Every man who
planted melons for shipment last year
made money and of course every one
of those men will plant again, with
number of others who were sorry they
did not plant"
The watermelon crop is always a
temptation to the south Georgia farm
er, who looks upon it as sort of side
issue from his other crops and one from
which the chances are that he may
realize good returns.

CONGRESS MAY QUIT IN june
Wilson to Explain Trade Com
mission

Washington, D. c., Feb. 16.-Dem-
ocratic leaders hope to adjourn con-
gress June 10. President Wilson be-
lieves the senate and house may work
at the same time ON the trust bills.
He told callers today that business
men were showing a greater interest
in the new legislation, and that in
many cases it was very helpful. That
that interest. however, is not so active
as he had expected he attributes to
the fact that business men have dis
counted ths character of legislation
and that the measures. in a general
way meet their approval
The president incidentally remark
ed today that many objections to the
publicity features of the trade COM
mission bill were based on miscon-
ception of what the bureau of cor
porations already could do by present
statutes. The president sees little
difference in the interstate trade com
mission and the present bureau NJ
corporations, which he believes will
be merely enlarged by the forthcom-
ing legislation 1t already has broad
powers of inquisition. The president
looks for early action on the measure

Wholesale Police Graft
Uneqrthed in "Fqtherlqnd''

Berlin, Feb. 16.-Extraordinary rev.
elations Of police corruption were made
at trial which was brought to a close
at Cologne Saturday
The nominal defendant in the case
avs a journalist named Sollmon, who
is the editor of the Socialist "Rhein-
ische Zeitung." He was sentenced to
pay fine of 500 marks for libelling
the police, but on the main points both
the evidence and the judgment com
pletsly justified the articles which
formed the substance of the charge.
The court admitted that four out of
the six police inspectors Of Cologne
and two commissioners of police had
accepted bribes.
The facts proved we're of an astoun-
ing character. 1t was shown to be
quite a common thing for persons who
we're seeking concessions for restau-
rants, cafes or dancing halls to send
to police inspectors or their wives
