there has been a decided increase in tho. weekly contributions. This every member canvass is not merely a fiIian- cial enterprise said Dr. Lerriso, but is Of profound spiritual potency. He recommended that the churches under take the every member canvas ss simultaneously, as it would thus gain more prominence and would also gain better results. Dr. Lerrigo defined the every member canvass as an organized and adequate effort by a. representa- tive and comDetent committee by a personal visit to every member of the church and Sunday school with an opportunity for them to give weekly contribution to the church. pr.

CHICKENS ARE
IN EVIDENCE
COURT Session
BLACK BR0THTR is CHARGED
WITH LIFTING THEM.

The tale of hen was told in court
today in the presence of Associate
Justice NcMath, of the Jap Pea tri
bunal, when George Anderson, an ex-
ceedingly black brother, was put upoa
the judicial spit and roasted by states
counsel upon the charge of having dis
turbed the dreams of sundry domi
neckers while the pale moon hung low.
An aristocratic hen of game lineage
and owned by Judge j. A. Hixon, was
also a bone Of contention.
The courtroom held a capacity audi
ence, full score of Lee street ladies
being among the army of witnesses ap-
pearing at the bar against the alleges
puller of pullets, who was alleged to
have held sway in southside henneries.
Stacked up near the judges arena
were four coops of chickens, holding
enough birds to bridge over a preach
ers' meeting at conference time. The
birds cackled and crew by turns, and
passers-by readily believed that a
poultry fair was being pulled off in
the temple. 1t was most unusual
and barn-yardic spectacle there
The testimony showed that Ander-
son had sold one coop, containing
twenty-one hens of ancient vintage
purling pullets and gamely games to
one of the witnesses even after night
had drawn her sable shades and pin
ned them with star, but the witnes
explained that he believed George
owned the birds. Judge Hixon's game
hen was also in evidence after a vaca.
tion of two weeks from his yard, for
which he held George responsible.
After the testimony had been sum-
med up Anderson was discharged and
told to ramble right along, while the
tale of the hen was recorded upon the
sacred archives of the court.

DIXIE OVERLAND
HIGHWAY IS
COMING
COLUMBUS, AMERICUS AND JACK.
SONVILLE HIGHWAY is SUG.
GESTED PLANS ARE BEING
WORKED OUT

Southwest Georgia is determined to
have a trunk line of highways.
The magnificent roads through this
section of the state are being used in
practical way to link together high
ways between prominent Georgia aad
Southern cities.
The latest plan comes from the
Dixie Overland Highway association.
which body has been working in CO.
operation with Secretary Manager Il.
H. Hyman, of the Americus and Sum-
ter County Chamber of Commerce.
The following letter has been re-
ceived by Secretary-Manager Hyman
from Frank G, Lumpkin, president of
the highway association, which is in
line with the proposed highways:
Replying to yours of the Gath beg to
say that the question of the route OF
the Dixie Overland Highway was left
to a committee of which our vice pres
ident, Mr.. Battey, was chairman.
Il think that it has been Definitely
decided to go directly from EllavilIe
to Montezuma, and | would suggest
that instead of trying to run the Dixie
Overland Highway through Americas
that we have Columbus-Americus-
Jacksonville Highway. This, feel
sure, is practical, because we have
just finished splendid road through
Chattahoochee county, which was
built by the Chattahoochee County
Good Roads association, whose letter
enclose. Muscogee and Marion
counties are now working on each end
of this road, which, when completed,
will make the best road in the South
from Columbus to Ellaville.
Il understand that the road from
Ellaville to Americus has been all
lowed to run down, but I remember
the Sumter county roads as being very
fine when we visited your county sew
eral years ago and looked them over.
1T is my belief that we will sooh
have in West Georgia, between Col
umbus, Americas and Albany, the best
roads in the South, and if we build
the best roads, the travel will come
our way"

COTTON B0OMs;
PRICE SOARING
HIGHEST NOTCH
MARKET UP 80 POINTS AND DE-
MAND STRONG.

Americus warehouses are today the
scenes of more than usual activity
and have again taken on the aspect of
"Sully Days" when everybody wanted
cotton and the price went aeroplain-
ing. These are not Sully days exactly.
but the world this week seems to be
after cotton and farmers who wish to
sell can find buyer blindfolded.
Eight and half cents is being free
ly paid in Americus today, while a
prediction of nine cents ere the sua
sets Saturday is advanced.
England and Germany are both
hustling to buy cotton ere the crop is
exhausted, and the demand f.om thesY
sources and other foreign countries is
putting up prices. The demand is
strong today, as indicated by the ad-
vance of a quarter cent this morning
alone, and that prices will so much
higher is the general belief here.
Americas warehouses have received
about $500 bales new cotton to GATE
and the major portion of this, as we'll
as much old cotton of last years crop,
has been sold at prices ranging from
7 to 1-2 cents.
