cal strength to their children, and
would be on the alert to endow their
offspring favorably.
According to Divine promise, Sam
son was to be one of Israels judges
Deliverers. The need of dellverance Is
evident from the context. The Philis-
tines resided to the southwest of Pal
estine. They were a warlike people,
and very intelligent as respects manu-
factures. Their cunning is shown In
that they not only disarmed the Israel
ties, but prohibited their making any
iron implements or doing any kind OF
blacksmithing work. In this manner
they held the lsraelites in species of
peonage. exacting tribute OF them.
Samson's work for his people must
not be measured by merely the amount
OF damage which he did to the Philis-
tines as n warrior and as a strategist-
setting fire to their wheat-fields by in
geniously using foxes for the purpose
etc. Doubtless his chief work was one
OF reviving the spirit of his people, who
had become thoroughly hopeless under
the oppression of their enemies. The
lesson OF what one could do when he
devoted his life to delivering his people
from their enemies must have been a
great stimulus to patriotism and an
encouragement to return to the Lord.
Points to Be Remembered.
We must not forget that the Jews
Were not Christians, and that the rules
laid down by Jesus and the Apostles
Tor Christians were not applicable 20
the Jews. According to the Scriptures
Moses and the nation OF Israel were
House of Servants (Hebrews 80, O..
They were promised Divine blessings
In proportion as they served faithfully
the Divine Law, which did not call
upon them to be saints in the Chris
tan sense OF that word
Another difference between the Jew
and the Christian is that the former
was promised temporal blessings as
reward for faithfulness, while the lat
ter Is promised spiritual blessings with
temporal adversities and trials OF faith,
patience, love and loyalty. Unless this
distinction between the two Ages and
the two Laws be borne In mind, we
shall continually be I'm difficulty.
According to the Law. Samson was
rated as a very faithful servant OF
God. His faithfulness consisted in his
loyalty to the Divine requirements and
to Israel, Gods covenanted people. His
faith was continually manifested in
all he did; and his life was used in
serving his people. He is rated as an
Ancient WOrthy.-Heb. 1872, 80. 40
Samson was neither a Christian nor
an example to Christians. In many
respects he lived after the flesh. not

day, December 18th. This election is
for three members of city council, and

CoRDELE, Ca, Nov. 23.-The forty
ninth session Of the South Georgia con-
ference conyenes Wednesday morning
at o'clock. Bishop j. C. Kilgo, of
Charlotte, N. Co. will preside. Rev.
w. F. Smith is almost certain to be re-
elected secretary. He has held this
position for at least fifteen years. MIR.
Smith is one of the most efficient con-
ference secretaries In the church and
is popular with members of the con-
ference.
Bishop Kilgo arrived in Cordele to-
day. This is his first visit to Georgia
as conference presiding officer, al
though he is no stranger to Georgia
reople.
Bishop Kilgo is well known in the
educational world For many years he
was president of Trinity college at
Durham, N. c., going from that position
into the episcopal office.
The ten presiding elders who will
compose the cabinet are Rev. J. M.
Glenn, Macon district; Rev. J. B. john
stone Savannah; Rev. w. p. Chatfiel6,
Columbus; Rev. w. H. Budd, valdosta;
Rev. E. F. Morgan ,Thomasville; Revy.
p. Anthony, D. D. Dublin; Rev. T. D.
Ellis, d. D., Dawson; Rev. j. P.
Wardlaw Cordele; Rev. T. P. Tison,
Waycross; Rev L. A. Hill, McRae.
These men with Bishop Kilgo will
hive charge of making the appoint
ments for 1916: Careful consideration
will be given to each man and to each
charge of the conference, with the end
III view Of sending the right man to the
right place. The Methodist itineracy is
q wonderful institution. Even the
churches having congregational and
presbyterial form of pulpit supply adj
nit that it works remarkably well. 1t
leaves no church without pastor, and
no pastor without a church. On an
average Methodist pastors do not move
oftener than those Of other churches,
despite the fact that they are appointed
for one year at time and have limit
of four years in pastorate.

ACG|E SCHOOLS
GET INCREASE IN
FUNDS Of STATE

The eleven district agricultural and
mechanical schools of the state won a
signal victory when the senate con-
Cured in Representative Stewart and
Wheatley's house bill which increased
the appropriation of each of these
schools $4,000. The increase in each
schools maintenance fund is from
$4,000 TO $4,000, making an aggregate
Increase in the total appropriation Of
$33, 1000.
This is the story which means so
much to Americus, Sumter county and
the entire Third agricultural district.
Under the agreement of both
branches of the general assembly, the
appropriation for agricultural colleges
will be $4,000 annually, which is an
increase of $4,000 over the amounts
set aside during several years past.
Representative Crawford Wheatley,
of Sumter has proven an unrelenting
fighter in behalf of all of the agricul-
tUral colleges in the state, and espec-
tally in behalf of the A. & M. school
situated at Americus.
On the eve of the active campaign
for work in the interest of the Third
Agricultural District Fair this news is
greeted with much pleasure by the
people of this section. Mr.. Wheatley
is chairman of the committee from the
Americus and Sumter County Chamber
Of Commerce, which has the fair in
charge, and in his position as repre-
sentative in the legislature he has
brought all possible pressure to bear
towards the best interests of the col
lege and the people.

The London Report.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-The latest from
the Balkans revives the hope here that
Monistir may hold out until the French
and British can effect junction with
the Serbians.
The Rome and London legations O {
Serbia have received reports of great
Serbian victory northeast of Pristina.
AS these adyices give neither details
not dates, there is a doubt of their
Importance.
1t is now believed that the Allied
forces which may take refuge on
Greek territory are hardly likely to
be subjected to an attack from the
rear.
The most significant indication of the
attitude of Greece is contained in the
remarks of Greek Minister of Justice
Rhallis. He is quoted in the press
dispatches as having complained Bit
terly at the methods of the Allies. He
argued that their tardiness In bring
ing effective support for the Serbians
makes the participation of Greece i'm
possible. He declares, however, that
the Greeks were determined to main
tain neutrality, and that the Allies have
TO reason to fear danger if forced
across the Greek border.
The French military position in
Macedonia, reported to have been at
tackled by the Bulgarians, but they
retired after vain attacks against the
French.
A message from Constantinople, via
Berlin, tells of a violent Allied often
sive at the Dardanelles, although there
is no official confirmation.
There is nothing important on the
eastern line, except the announcement
that the Russians have repulsed the
Germans On the Riga front, and that
British artillery is busy on the western
front.

COLUMBUS, Ga, Nov. 23.-At least
tVenty-three persons are dead and sew
trail still missing, and nothing is left
of line of ten ears loaded with show
effects, wild animals and other circus
paraphernaIia, but ashes and scrap
iron, due to a wreck, head-On, when
Central of Georgia passenger train No.
2 crashed into an incoming show train
some six miles from Columbus Late
yesterday. Details of the disaster tend
to increase the magnitude of the
wreck, first reports giving only eight as
dead and fifteen injured. Some thirty
are injured, many seriously, and fur
ther deaths may result.
Investigation is on today to place
the responsibility. 1t is claimed the
outgoing passenger train had orders
to pass two show trains at the juno
tion and it only allowed one to pass,
al blame points to the crew of hte
passenger train manned by Engineer
Fickle All the dead and seriously in
jured are show people Passengers on
the outgoing train were badly shaken
I'D and one woman had her leg broken
but all others escaped serious injury.
Ten cars of the carnival train
were burned, the wreckage catching
fire Immediately after the crash.
Known dead include Fred Kampf
and his wife, who operated the Model
City exhibit of the carnival. They
were sleeping in an auto truck and
were pinned under the wreckage. Mrs.
Kempf's body was not recovered, be-
ing completely consumed by the
flames.
Rescuers found Kempf with his
lody half exposed. While still retain
ing consciousness he begged trainmen
and others to kill him rather than let
him burn to death. Frantic efforts
were made to rescue him, but without
avail.
The engineers of both trains miracu-
lousy escaped death. Engineer john
sun. of the carnival train, who was
brought here slightly injured, declar-
ed his orders were for a clear track
with % minutes to get into the Colum-
bus yards. The passenger train, he
said, had orders to take a siding and
await the carnival special, but by err
ror ran in on the main line and start
ed on to Macon

AL DEAD ARE SHOW FOLKS
= FROM CON KENNEDY SHOWS
Blame Appears To Be On Passenger
Train Which Violated Orders In
Meeting The Special

At the scene of the wreck there was
stretch of almost perfectly straight
track for probably three miles.
The injured were brought to the Col
rmbus hospital The smoldering ruins
of the wreckage were searched for the
bodies of the victims burned and those
crushed to death.
Identification of the dead has been
difficult, because of their being at
taches of the carnival shows, each OF
which is a more or less independent
organization, and with many timer
nts being in their employ
The Con Kennedy shows were COM
ing here for a weeks engagement,
after last week spent in Atlanta, as a
big feature of the Harvest Festival.
From here the organization was book
ed to go to Albany for next week and
to close the season the following week

MISSES HARROLD
PASSENGERS UPON
WRECKED TRAIN

The very many Americus friends OF
Misses Anna and Elizabeth Harold
will be interested in knowing that they
were passengers aboard Central pas
senger train No. 2, which was wrecked
in the disastrous collision near Colum-
bus Monday. Both young ladies
were considerably bruised, and Miss
Anna Harold had several teeth knock
cd out in being thrown down in the
chair car by the terrible impact.
The Misses Harold were visitors in
Americus lats week, and upon their re-
turn to Macon went via Columbus upon
n short visit to relatives. They re-
sumed their journey to Macon today.

also passenger upon the i'll fated
train but escaped with only few
painful bruises upon her face.
The wreck, it was stated here this
morning, would be cleared during the
day and regular schedules between
Columbus and Macon resumed. All
Central trains operated between Ma
