stantial progress on the move to opgn
parts of the Southern Appalachian
forests as pleasure, recreation and
health parks was reported by George
s Powell, of Asheville, secretary OF
the Appalachian Park Association. to-
night. Mr.. Powell arrived in Wash
ington today. after having spent sew
e-al days in New York, where vari-
Gus commercial organizations showed
great interest in the objects of the
association.
Mr.. Powell conferred with Secretary
Daniels. one of the vice presidents of
the association today, and tomorrow
will see Senator'S Simmons and Over
roan for suggestions on the course to

The exact procedure of the associa-
ton has not yet been mapped out, but
it is probable that an amendment to
the Weeks bill will be the object
sought through congress, The Weeks
bill appropriated ten million dollars for
the purchase of forest land in the Ap-
palachian region and created the for
esrry commission. 1t is proposed in a
movement has been organized for sew
eral months to open these lands in the
same way as the Yellowstone and 9TH
er parks of the west are open.
One Vast Playground.
The commission has bought mil
Eon acres of land to- date and will pro-
badly buy nine million acres more.
Much of this is in Western North Car
olina, and if the proposed plan is
adopted, that region viii be frequented
by the public to an extent not even
dreamed of at present. One of the
first government activities in opening
the region would be to build roads
and trails through its property. Coun-
ties and States would connect the va
ricus reservations with roads, open
ing the whole to the public by easy
transportation. The governlnent
would lease hotel and cottage sites
and camping grounds SO that finally
the mountain range would be one vast
playground.

eff our plan goes through" said
Mr. Powell tonight, cit will mean ulti-
mately that the forester could motor
from Washington hundreds of miles
south along the entire Appalachian
mountain range, through the prettiess
scenery in America, and scenery in
some places unrivaled by any thing
in Europe. This region is accessible
all the year round, making tt superior
to the Western reservations"

MAYOR LIKELY To
VETO PARK ACT
NYGUNMEN Wt4OWEREELECTROCUT TO-DAY1M

The probability OF Mayor Wood
ward vetoing the resolution passed by
Council last Monday appropriating
$4,000 for the purchase of ten acres
of the Motley estate for park pur-
poses, was given some credence about
the City Hall Monday. The Mayor
said he would not consider the reso-
luton until it was before him for Of
fetal action. His remarks, however,
indicated that he might send it back
to Council unapproved.
It is understood that Mayor Wood
wards objection to the resolution is
based on the section which author
ICES any citizen to secure an option
on the remainder Of the tract. Ac-
cording to reports, the Mayor has
taken the stand that the matter has
been passed up illegally in this re,
spect, and he wants it put in proper
shape before attaching his signature
to the paper.
The Motley estate, located in the
Seventh Ward, is composed Of 9S
acres OF land and has been offered to
the city for 5000, providing it is
used for park purposes only$ The
property owners OF the Seventh Ward
want the property for a park and in
order to secure it they agreed to sac
rifice the $4,000 passed up by the
Finance Committee for fire engine
house and the $1,000 put in the Janu
airy sheet for street improvements.

NORMAL PLAYS GULF
COAST TEAM SATURDAY
PERkINsToN AeelEs NOVEMBER
7; BUT TEST OF SEASON WILL
BE POPLARVIlLE.

The Normal Collge football team
will meet the Gulf Coast Military Acad-
emy squad at Gulfport on Saturday.
Coach Dilly has put the team through
strenuous week of practice in the
hope that it will hit its stride for the
big games which are coming. The
practice yesterday afternoon, accord
ing to the coach himself was the best
the team has had this season. The
players injected more pep" into the
signal work than at any time in weeks
and after working up until it was too
dark to see the ball the squad took a
brisk turn around the field before going
in and bathing. Only one accident
marred the good spirits of the team
and that was when Lee Jones, re-
serve, came out of the scrimage with a
torn abdominal muscle and had to be
taken off the field. The physician de-
clared that there was nothing serious
about the accident but that he would
probably be confined to the sanitarium
for a few days.
The next opportunity the people Of
FIattiesburg will have to see a game
will be when the Normal team plays
the Agricultural High School of Per.
kinston. The Perkinston team is new
at the game but is reported to have a
few huskies reputed for their thirst
for gore. The game will be played at
Hamper Park on November 7.
The biggest game of the season, how
ever, will be played on the following
Saturday, November IA, with the Ag-
ricultural High School of Poplarville.
The two teams will be evenly matched
except that the Poplarville boys out
weight the local team several pounds
to the man. Much interest is centered
in the game as the result will probably
determine the standing in South Mis-
sissippi.

70 RESPOND TO FIRST
CALL OF EVANGELIST
FOURTEEN CONVERSIONS RESULT
OF FIRST OPPORTUNITY
OFFERED.

For the first time during the meet
ing which began more than week
ago the Rev. J. B. Andrews last night
issued the call for penitents Twenty
responded to the call for special pray
er and came down and gave the preach
er their hands. The net result of the
meeting last night was fourteen con-
versions.
The evangelist spoke on the I'm
portance of a Public Confession of
Christ" "This confessions? he said,
means more than mental acknow-
ledgment that Christ is the Son of
God; it means that the individuals
must be absolutely subjective to the
demands of Christ, just as a man be-
comes a citizen of a nation he subjects
himself to the laws of that nation"
He said that this confession need not
necessarily be a big demonstration,
but that sometimes it effected people
so that they could not help making a
lot of noise about it. When a man is
saved, salvation will evidence itself
for "out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh" and the saved
man and woman in their public con-
Tossing, do the most wonderful and
most effective preaching.
Illustrating the fact that no matter
how low in the depths of sin a man
may get, there is promise of. redemp-
ton. DR.. Andrews read the story of
the casting out of the demons from the
unclean man and sending them into
the swine About 1000 swine were
lost by the transaction but the man
was saved. The fact that the man was
saved elated the owners of the hogs
but when they found the cost was so
great they, no boubt, thought the cost
too great. The evangelist said that
some people today preferred Hogs
and Hominy to Holiness and Heaven" !"

Posit Large Sumo In Regional Banks.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The twelve
federal reserve banks Of the new bank.
ing system will be opened for busi-
ness November 16.
Secretary McAdoo, authorized by
the currency act to name the opening
date, made the announcement. His
choice of the sixteenth was made de-
spite the recent ratification of the di-
rectors and governors of the twelve
banks against opening before Novem-
Der 80.
Mr.. McAdoo declared he had reached
his decision after discussion with the
federal reserve board and because of
cAer oncy conditions in the south lie
Lclie,es the opening of the banks,
especially helpful there, viii benefit
business in al sections.
In statement last night the secre-
tary made it clear that under the new
system the federal government will be
allie to deposit from the general fund
of the treasury in reserve banks to
aid producers of staples. The new re-
serve requirements, he pointed out,
will release more than 100000 900 of
money now held by national banks as
reserves and will add greatly to the
! loaning power of the banks.
The statement in part follows:
Il have determined to announce on
the 10Th day of November, 1914, the
establishment of the federal reserve
banks in all the federal reserve dis
tricts. On that date the new reserve
requirements for national banks, as
prescribed by the act, will become
operative.
Il am impelled to this decision par
ticularly because Of the emergency
condition in the south and the conf
dent belief that the prompt opening of
the reserve banks will be very helpful
to the cotton situation and to general
business in all sections of the country
"As the result of the enactment of
the war revenue measure, the parity
between receipts and disbursements
of the treasury will soon be happily
restored This will make it possible
for the treasury to render still greater
service than it has already rendered in
helping the financial situation in the
south and in other parts of the country
where the need has appeared. The
prompt opening of the federal reserve
yanks will make the assistance of the
treasury doubly powerful because the
federal reserve act authorizes the sec
retary of the treasury, in his discre
tion, to deposit large amount of the
monies held in the general fund in
the federal reserve banks and to re-
quire such banks to act as fiscal agents
of the United States; and also in his
discretion to deposit the revenues OF
the government, or any part thereof in
the reserve banks and to make dis
bursements by checks drawn against
such deposits.
The new reserve requirements,
which will become operative ON the
10th day of November, will release
more than $400,000,OOO of reserve mon
ey and largely increase the credit fa-
cilities of the banks of the country"
