AMONG WOUNDED
BROUGHT BAG k
FROM WEST FROM !

Emmett Denham is the first Ameri-
Gus soldier to be wounded in France
and return to America to recuperate
from his injuries His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. J. c. Denham have received
word of his return as one of the heroes
wonded on the western battle front,
and his many friends here are interest
ed likewise in his experience there.
He is at present at the base hospital
at Ft. Mcpherson, near Atlanta, where
he les fast recovering, and it is an
ticipated that he will visit Americus
as soon as the condition of his in
juries will permit
James Emmett Denham was among
the first troops to go from Americus
to the National army modified at
Camp Gordon, and saw service in the
early fighting when American divis-
ions stopped the German effort to
reach Parish and turned the tide Of
war against the Teutons What ac-
tions he participated in or where hisi
injury was received is unknown here
but it is believed he was among the
American troops fighting at Chateau
Thierry. His injury consists, it is
said, of a mangled hand which, how
ever, will in time be completely re
stored, and no permanent disfigure-
ment will result, a fact which will be
learned with>gratifcation By his many
friends here
s~e~~~~%~S~S~S~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~e~~~e~S~ses
given him by Congressman Charles R.
Crisp, of Americas. He is young
man of promise and has been interest
ed in military affairs since his gradu-
alton from the Aemricus High school,
having absorbed a limited military
training at the University Of Georgia.

ANEEECUS RELATIVES OF MISS
ING MAS ARE BUSY IN EFFORT
20 ESTABLISH IDENTITY or
NORTH AI3NGD0N, MASS, LIEU
TENANT REPORTED WOUNDED
Ar TIE FD0NT.

Geora y. Wheauey, Jr., who dis
appeared from Americus in 1913, and
who has since been sought in various
quarters Of the world without success,
lis believed by relatives here to have
been located in the army in Fra ice.
At least tbey are Investigating y clew
which may lead to the location of the
missing man.
In Saturdays casualty list appear
ed the name Lieutenant George D..
Wheatley North Abingdon, Mass" :"
and it is the theory of the Wheatley
family here, that the wounded man
may be the missing Americus busi-
ness man. George D. Wheatley Sr.,
talked with the Times Recorder SAT-
urday relative to the reported cas-
ualty and expressed the earnest hope
that the wounded officer might prove
to be his son. The Wheatley family
originally came to Americus for the
north and have numerous relatives
there, The elder Wheatley after COM
ing to An .icus car ~ v Duo
ley. and afterward the name Dudley
became allied with that of Wheatley,
appearing as an initial of at least two
members of the Americus branch of
the family.
The initial ''D." therefore. encour-
ages the family here to hope that the
officer wounded in rance is really the
missing members Of the Americus
branch of the Wheatleys, and accohr-
ingly George D. Wheatley, Sr., is in
vestigating the identity of the North
Abingdon man. He has telegraphed
the authorities in Washington and
hopes to establish definitely whether
or not his son has been wounded, as
he now believed to be true.

A CREEPING ADDER

Talk about the Beast of Berlin, but the
beast in Wilson, North Carolina, j. D. Reid
by name, and principal of the graded colored
school Of that city, who stood by and per-
mitted the superintendent of the city schools
(white) to slap one of the colored lady
teachers under Reid because she took issue
with the superintendent, which he construed
to disputing his word is too low and des-
picable to even be classed beast He not
only did not resent the vicious assault, but
smiled his approval Killing such a brute
would be far too generous and we hope he
will meet the same fate as the Wandering
Jew and never again look into a sympa-
thetic eye The colored citizens Of Wilson,
despite the fact they are in the South, made
the town so warm for Reid that he left the
city between hours for parts unknown and
they are appealing to the fair-minded white
citizens to see to it that the superintendent
be discharged and prosecuted in the courts
for assault. Of course this latter PROPOSE
ton will not be done and if it were it would
be but roaring farce, but the superintend-
ent should be Immediately discharged. Col
ored men and women all over this land and
country are loyal patriotic citizens and merit
better treatment at the hands OF the white
citizens than such brutal attacks as recorded
above. The colored man, whether in the
South, North East or West, that will smile
his approval of white man slapping a col
ored woman because she takes issue with him
or disputes his words or even calls him
liar is neither a man, brute nor beast, but
dirty creeping snake in the grass. Let
"Prof' Reid be known as a marked man
and be told by the colored citizens, wherever
he shows up to move on. Death is a thou
sand times preferable to living and not de-
Tending your own. Any man that slaps
a woman is himself cowardly cur and we
would do our best to do him great bodily
harm if he struck woman in our presence
whether she be black, white, red or yellow.
We often pray for such an opportunity.

TENNESSEE HUNS sow DISCORD

1t begins to look as if the Law and Order
League, recently organized in Tennessee
with the view of putting a stop to the
wholesale lynchings of that state, which
league is made up Of the leading white citi-
zens, has addressed the following open letter
to Gov. Rye Of that state:
The lynching Of Berry Noyes at Lexing
ton, Tennessee, April %, cannot but SOW
disunion among our people, undermine the
morale Of our Negro troops and lessen the
effectiveness Of our propaganda among col
ored people for food production and conser-
vation. 1t will therefore tend to prolong
the war and increase the price in dead and
wounded we have to pay for victory [ have

that the three bodies shall be called to con-
vene at such time and place as shall be de-
termined by the joint commission to be
named by the respective general conferences,
to be known as the United General Con-
ference, which will be the same as any legis-
lative body.
1t is provided in the recommendations that
nothing fundamental to Methodism in the
way of doctrinal tenets and constitutions
shall be changed; that an agreement be
reached to share alike the benefits and liza
bilities Of each connection that is a party to
the union and that the titles of all proper
ties now held in the name of each separate
organization be transferred to the United
Methodist Episcopal Church.
The Bishops in office at the time of the
approval of the articles in the three churches
shall continue in accordance with the laws
and regulations covering the official tenure
Of Bishops in their respective churches.
10 Exchange PMpits During Negotiations
During the period of organic negotiations
the committee recommends that the spirit
and plan Of federation as outlined in the
Bishops Louisville address be encouraged
and in all cases the closest bonds of asso-
citation and fellowship be maintained between
the members of the three churches; that
possible among the minister's that there be
an exchange of ministers to serve as PASTORS
each pastor to have the same standing in the
church to which he is sent as was held in the
church from which he was sent.
An exchange of fraternal messengers to
annual and district conferences, Sunday
school conventions and women's missionary
meetings is also suggested, and Bishops are
to invite Bishops of either denomination to
sit and counsel with them at annual con-
ferences
The commissioners who drew up the plan
of unifcation to be submitted to the mem
bers Of the three churches for ratification
were Bishops L. j. Coppin, w. W. Beckett,
H. B. Parks, Elders j. w. Walker, John
Harmon, w. S. Carpenter Laymen J. R.
Hawkins, e. P. Lykes and Green Jackson
of the A. NJ. b. Church; Bishops G.. W.

UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

There is well-laid plan on foot to bring
about consolidation of the African M. b.
Church, the A. b. Zion and the Colored
Methodist Churches in one strong central
organization with fair probability of the
colored members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church also joining the consolidation. In as
much as this is an age Of church consolida-
ton this move on the part of the
colored Methodists is highly commendable
and it will show great wisdom if the con-

There IS harrassing discomfort

most unbearable, and the skin seems

A cure from local applications of
salves and ointments is impossible,
because such treatment can only al

can only be reached by going deep

BIG OIL COMPANY SECURES
VALUABLE LEASES
IN MANY FIELDS.

Very seldom does an oil company
start out with such valuable proper:
ties as those controlled by the Van
Duzen Oil Company which expects
to start it's drilling operations within
the next few days in at least two OF
the fields under lease.
This progressive concern is back
ed by men of sterling quality who
are devotipE all their attention to the
work Of drilling for oil on their e5-
tensive holdinos, and within the last
week they hare added several leases
t. the property of the company. II
is predicted by those who investi-
gated the company that they will
have oil aplenty before the summer
months are we'll advanced.
The holdings of the company in the
Warm Springs Dome are in them
selves worth many times the tota!
capitalization of the company, should
this company be as successful there
as all Of the other companies have
been.
The sundance-Upton Dome. now
being developed by the Ohio Oil Com
pany. the Crazy Woman's Pocket
Field, which is slated to pe second
Elk Basin. and the powder River
Junction Field have also been enter
ed by this concern and the recent re-
ports from these sections predict

In addition to these holdings the

nice lease in the great Salt Creek field
which is producing thousands of bar
