AGREE ON UNIFIcATloN
PLAN OF METHODIST

Saratoga Springs, May 1S-The
uniGcation of the Methodist Episco-
pal church and the Methodist Episco-
pal south church was endorsed almost
unanimously by the Methodist gen
eral conference today.
The conference adopted the report
of the committee on unification which
provides for further negotiations with
the southern church, paving The way
for final action by the general con
ference Of the southern church ia
1918 and by the northern church's
general confernece in 1920.
The committee Endorsed with some
qualifications a series Of proposals
agreed upon previously by a joint
commission in which the Methodist
Episcopal church north and the Meth
odist Episcopal church, south, and the
Methodist Protestants church were
represented.
The plan proposes general confer
ence as the supreme body and num-
Der of quadrennial or subordinate con
ferences of which one or more shall
be created for negro members only.
The report recommends the amalgra
nation Of the branches Of American
Methodism with the general confer
ence as the supreme governing body
Of the church and with separate con
ferences and episcopal supervision for
the negro churches.
The report was adopted amid scenes
Of unbonunded enthusiasm. Only one
speech was made in favor of the &C
lion and none in opposition. Rev. j..
f. Goucher, president emeritus Of the
Goucher college, Baltimore, Md, in
moving adoption said the proposed
amalgramation would be a federated
union that would protect all the va
ried interests. He explained that the
interests of the negroes would be pro
tected to solve their own problems.
When DR.. Coucher concluded the
cent up enthusiasm OF the conference
burst it's bounds, every one rose to
his feet the building shook with ap-
2ause and shouts Of vote, Vote"
Renewed cheering greeted the an
nouncement that the report had been
adopted and as Bishop e. r. Hen
dirk, of the Methodist Episcopal
church south, stepped to the speakers
desk anl clasped hands with Bish-
90 Cranston, the presiding officer the
convention spontaneously began sing
ng" Praise God From Whom All Bles-
sings Flow" and followed with "Blest
Be the Tie That Binds"
Bishop Cranston was greatly affect
"a b. rry demonstration WiSrsg" 1way
the tears that steramed down his
lace he said
"T1lis is the supreme moment OF my
lie. You might have continued me
n an effective relation for eight years
longer if you had so willed, but you
could not have given me the gratiaca-
ion of soul l feel today"
Bishop Hendrix said:
AS senior bishop Of American Meth
3dism l believe that by our action
oday we have accomplished more foI
he good Of mankind than resulted
from the battle Of Saratoga"

DROUGHT BROKEN

McRae, Ga, May 17.-Farming con.
ditions we're materially improved in
this immediate section a few days
ago, when the first good rain Of the
whole farming season fell. Many
farmers had not planted cotton and
some Of those who had planted could
not get it up, owing to the drought.
Corn generally is doing splendidly, as
it does not take so much moist for
this crop. Older cotton has been
damaged somewhat by the late ccol
weather, as it is strictly a hot weath.

DRINK BLOOD IN THE
SKULLS OF YANKEES

FL Paso, June pa refugee
from Mexico City arriving at the
border today said that at stations
in northern Durango men and
women who no longer had cloth
ing to cover themselves, crowd
ed about the train and cried for
food. He said they fought over
bits of orange peeling which a
fellow traveller threw from the
coach.
The refugees brought to the
border Mexican newspapers to
show to what extent the anti
American feeling is growing. An
editorial in La Reforma, a semi
official paper published in Saltil-
10, captioned Blood" makes a
violent attack upon the United
States, its people and its policies
and continues:
ABOVE all 90 not forget that
at d time of national need, hui
mainly is a crime and frightful-
ness is a virtue.
Pull out eyes, snatch out
hearts, tear open breasts, drink
if you can-the blood in the
skulls of the invaders, from the
cities of Yankeeland.
In defense of liberty, be a
Nero, be Caligua-that is to be
a good patriot.
Peace between Mexico and
the United States will be closed
in throes of terror and barba-
rism."

LOOK OUT, YOU GREAsERs

To arms and through the red
clay hills
The magic summons rolled.
To arms; and Georgia's sons turn
ON1
AS in the DAYS of old;
As in the days when England's
heel
Was pressed upon the land;
AS in the days when northern
foe
Invaded southern strand;
And though their service may be
hard,
Their path with danger fraught
The Georgians will be in the
Of every fight that's fought.
Aye, hardening to the nations
call,
The Georgian stalwart comes
The khaki lads are gathering
To the rolling of the drums;
From Rabun Gap to Tybee
Light
The Cracker boys turn out;
With eager eyes faced to the
south,
They're itching for bout;
And let the Greaser crew beware
Twill be a sad, sad tale,
For them when Georgia's gal
liant lads
Are camping on their trail.
