EPWOR7H LEAGUE CONVENTION COMING
AMER|CUS MUST PROVIDE HONEST

provide for 800 delegates to the Ep
worth League Conference. About ESQ
names of delegates have already been
received, and others will be received
today and tomorrow. Can Americus
afford for these people (only three
hundred in number) to reach our city,
with almost one third unprovivded
for? 1t would indeed hurt the fair
name of our city to havev to seat
somA eighty or ninety delegates to this
conference at the Y. NJ. G. A. and
then to phone or send around town
to secure places for them. 1t would
be embarrassing for them and for
you.

pitable people would only stop long
enough to consider the situation and
thus realize what it means, that these
homes would be offered at once. Quite
a number who can and should enter

far refused to do SO, and there are
others who could and should increase
the number they have agreed to en-
tertain. If you can take some Of these
delegates or can accommodate more

The South Georgia Epworth League
convention opens here on Wednesday
for a four day session. Americus has
invited the convention and must now
prepare for 300 delegates. The com
mittee on arrangements has provided
homes for only 21O delegates and is
up against it to find accommodations
for the remainder of the 800.
Chairman Joe Bryan, of the local
entertainment committee is anxious
to secure homes for every delegate
attending. This morning he requested
the Times Recorder to publish the
following appeal to the good people of
the city.
300 Versus 21O.
That is, whereas we shall have
three hundred delegates to the Ep
worth League Conference, we have
been able to secure homes for only
two hundred and ten. We therefore
need, and must have, homes for
ninety more delegates,
The conference is just two days off,
SO we must secure these homes at
once. When the Sunday School
Convention met here recently, the en-
tertainment committee had to secure
homes for some four or five hundred
delegates after they had arrived. There
was nothing amiss in that, because
the delegation was so much larger
than we had been instructed to pro
wide for We have been warned to

though Georgina attended school I'M
til the day before her baby was born,
those women never noticed her suf
ficiently to realize that she was going
through the most wonderful phase of
life at a time when she should have
been just a baby-girl.
And it is alleged that Georgina and

And so Georgina, protected by ig-

for one of many reasons that prompt
such actions, commit what she now
calls "sin," and having committed
that sin and confessed it, she forgot
all about it until the doctor who
placed the baby in her arms explained
to her the cause of the miracle and
she told the doctor the name of the
lad she claimed was responsible.
And Tommy, whose mother would
not think of discussing such thing
with her children, will have to appear
in the juvenile court to answer the
charge of parenthood.

is very quiet little woman who never

June 11.-Ambassador Gerard deliv-
cred second American note in Lusi-
tania matter to Foreign Secretary
Jagow at LOS p. m. today.
Washington, June II. 1.-THE gov
eminent of the United States cannot
admit that the proclamation of a war
zone from which neutral ships have
been warned to keep away may be
made to operate as in any degree an
abbreviation of the rights either of
American shipmasters or of Ameri-
can citizens bound on lawful errands
as passengers on merchant ships of
belligerent nationality" .
This statement contained in Pres
ident Wilson's rejoinder to Germany
is practically the keynote of the en-
tire message, as it was in the first
protest following the sinking of the
Lusitania, and it again demands that
Germany recognize the obligation to
take sufficient precautions to ascer-
tain whether suspected merchant
man is in fact of belligerent nation
atty or is in fact carrying contraband
of war under neutral flag.
Relative to the Lusitania, which
Germany claims carried ammunition
and acted as a transport boat for
troops from Canada, the note de-
clares this claim false and insists that
the Lusitania was not armed for
offensive action, was not serving as
a transport and did not carry cargo
prohibited by the statutes of the U.
S., and declares that whatever the
other facts regarding the Lusitania
may be the principal fact is that a
great steamer, primarily and chiefly
conveyance for passengers and car
rying more than a thousand souls
who had no part or lot in the con-
duct of war, was torpedoed and sunk
without so much as challenge or a
warning, and that men, women and
children were sent to their death in

WANTS BALM FOR
INJURED FEELINGS

Bonnie McCumbie filed suit In the
district court Friday against the
Southwestern Telegraph and Teie-
phone Company alleging damages on
account OF the action of a telephone
operator in the employ Of that com
pany. The petition alleges that ms
brother at Marietta, Texas called Tor
him for the purpose Of notifying him
of the dangerous illness OF his moth
or. but that the operator confused the
towns of Marietta. Oklahoma and
Marietta Texas. He claims that
call was left for him at his home'
the operator stating that a party
from an Oklahoma town wanted 10
talk to him and on calling that place
was notified that nobody wanted
him. As a result he failed to reach
the bedside OF his mother before
she died.-Fcrt Worth Record.
This is probably a good basis for a
damage suit, but II Bonnie had real
" wanted to go to his mothers bed

have connected with that place after
finding nothing wanted in Oklahoma.

to execute it on the disputed ter
ritory.
Work on the line, according to
the accepted agreement had been
carried on by the commissioners
for period of three years. Mason
and Dixon adopted the peninsula
east and west line of their pred
ecessors, also the radius and tam
gent point, in fixing the northern
boundary. Vistas or paths, about
eight yards wide, were cleared
through the forest. Negotiations
with the Six Nations were COM
pleted,an by June 1867, the party
set out, with an escort of fourteen
Indians and and interpreter. A
stone craven with the arms of the
Penns on the one side, and of the
Baltimore family on the other,
was placed at every fifth mile on
the line. Smaller stones marked
with "P" on one side and "M' on
the other were placed at the inter-
mediate miles.
Rowing bands of Indians, IN
spite of the escort, gave the band
much uneasiness, and on the 29th
of September, twenty-six of the as
sistants quit work for fear of the
Shawnees and the Delawares. But
in spite of this danger, and with
but fifteen aXemen, the men push
ed on. At length they reached a
point, two hundred forty-four
miles from the Delaware river,
and within thirty-six miles of the
whole distance to be run. Here,
in the bottom of valley, on the

returned to Philadelphia, whert
they received an honorable dis

The greatest fame of the Masol
and Dixon line, however, rests II
its political, rather than its geo
graphical, significance. During
the years preceding the Civil War
it became fixed in mems minds a
the boundary line between tn
north and south; as the line o
which separated those of antagon

And as such it goes down in his

Dollars Out At Work

In a recent brief statement one
of the big life insurance compan-
les tells about the work done by
the dollars paid in as premiums
by policyholders.
"In it's home office" the COM
pany says, ''is steel safe about
the size of a large bedroom. This
safe has in it about S300,0O0,OOO,
represented by stocks and bonds.
IN other safes nearby are another
S300,000,000 or more, represented
by real estate mortgages and titles
to property, and so on.
The dollars themselves are
not in these safes; they are all
out at work. Each safe might be
regarded as a sort of cloakroom,
where the dollars leave their hats
and coats and then go out to work
Each of these dollars we regard
as little slave working hard
every day without taking any hol-
idays, without taking any vaca-
tions, and each one earning about
1-2 cents a year for the COM
pany."
Policy holders send into this
company money at the rate of $40
a minute for 300 working days Of
the year-nearly S5,OOO,OOO a
month, more than S5S,OOO,OOO a
year.
Of actual cash the company
probably does not keep at hand
more than comes in in ten days.
Very promptly money is put to
work. At what?
AS soon as it comes in, the COM
pany says, 'the money is set to
work building railroads, making
locomotives and railroads cars,
erecting office buildings and busi-
ness houses, and performing d
great service to society all over
the land.
"In other words, it is immed-
lately invested in railroad and
municipal bonds and estate mort
cages"
Of course, what this money
earns adds to the fund held tc
pay the claims of policyholders
Last year, for instance. this com
pany paid out Sl18 for every $1O(
received from policy holders
record probably equaled by every
sound old company, and made pos
sible by the policy of keeping
money constantly and safely EN-
ployed.
