ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 12.-Now that

vii conferences pending in Atlanta,
Georgians are recalling the, efforts OF
Hon. William j. Harris, then. III. IS.
director of the census, over year ago
to warn and prepare the people of this
state for what was coming.
Senator Harris deserves credit for
doing the first real missionary work in
Georgia along boil weevil lines, when
he sent out thousands of boil weevii
circulars throughout southwest Geor-
gia, which had been prepared under
his direction for this purpose by the
department of commerce and the cen
sus bureau.

SENATE To MEET.
NEXT ON MONDAY
SINCE ADJOURN

ATLANTA; Ca, Nov. l2-The SEN
etc Thursday morning continued in the
even tenor of it's way and practically
uninterrupted accomplished two things
that mark the end of unfinished bust
ness. They were.
1. The passage of the Akin-Adams
fish and oyster bill, which is aBenda-
tory to the present game and Ash stat
utes.
2. The passage Of a resolution by
Senator Walker, OF the Twentieth, au-
thorizing the governor to have an audit
made of the various departments and
institutions of the state supported by
the state appropriations, and covering
a period from January /, 1914, to Jan
uary 1, 1916, complete report to be
made to the general assembly in reg
uIar session next June
This resolution, however, asks the
concurrence of the house. In explain
ing his resolution, Senator Walker
stated that he believed its passage
would be a step nearer the enactment
of the state auditor bill There were
but five dissenting Yates.
The senate then adjourned until II
o'clock Monday morning to await the
pleasure of the house.
The Akin-Adams bill proposes to
protect the oyster beds and shell fish
of Georgia and would prevent aliens
from trespassing, thus leaving them
entirely at the disposal of residents o.
this state.
The bill further provides for fish
ing license and for the enforcement of
the law. Violators shall be punished
as for misdemeanor.

ME- ETHOO|sTS To
ERECT ANOTHER
CHURCH EDIT ICE
GROWTH OF CHURCH MEMBER
SHIP NECESSITATES STEP.

Americus is to have another Metho-
dist church building, third edifice of
that denomination, in addition to the
mission on Prospect Heights. The
preparation of providing another
cl,urch building has been under con-
sideration for some time, and was
finally determined upon at a meeting
last night of the board of stewards and
pastor, DR.. ]. A. Thomas, when the
sdbject was discussed at length and
plans for building formulated.
The proposed new edifice will be err
ected out on the Southside, at the
corner of Lee and Burke streets, op-
posite the residence of Mr.. T. F. Gate
wowod. The location is considered a
very excellent one.
The lot is valued at $1,150, and the
proposed building will cost approx
imately $4,000 or $500. If building
such as suggested is erected, one of the
mehmbers of the board of stewards
will, it is understood, make a personal
contribution of $500 in the purchase o.
the lot, it is said today.
The very large membership of First
Methodist church here, which exceeds
cne thousand or eleven hundred, rem
ders necessary the provision of more
room, both for devotional and Sunday
school purposes. The church here is
ore of the largest and handsomest il
the state, is already taxed, oftimes to
capacity, at regular services and spec
ial occasions, hence the necessity of
providing additional church facilities,
1t is expected that the matter will be
quickly closed up, and probably a
beginning made this fall in the erection
Of the proposed new editice.
