ANNUAL CONCERT AT
ELIZABETH MATHER

ATLANTA, Ga, May 14,-Atlanta
musical critics are singing the praises
today of the musical department Of
Elizabeth Mather College which gave
it's annual concert last night as one
OF the features of commencement ex-
ercises. A splendid musical program
of varied features was rendered, and
a representative audience of promi-
nent music lovers were carried away
with the exceptionally finished work
OF the cstudents. Elizabeth Mather Col
lege girls this year are doing away
with the usual expensive dress, elab-
crate corsage bouquets and other finer
les incident to commencement, and
have shown their patriotism by wear
ing SIMPLE dresses made Of SIMPLE ma
terial according to practically stand
ard design. This dea of standardi2ing
womens clothing was recently given
a nation wide impetus at the biennial
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, and is being
suriously considered by the most
thoughtful women of the county.

BISHOPS VETO
vER-R|DDEN BY
CONFERENCE VOTE
FINAL ACTION NOW RESTS WITH
ANNUAL CONFERENCE, WHICH
MAY EITHER ACCEPT OR REJECT
PROPOSITION.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 14.-Following
the decision of the College Of Bishops
that granting Of laity rights to women
in the church is unconstitutional, the
Southern Methodist general conference
today, by an overwhelming vote, over
ruled the bishops veto and again de-
clared itself as favoring equal rights
for women in all church activities.
Final acton on the resolution to con-
fer such rights on women now rests
with the annual conference, which has
the right to either reject or accept the
proposition For the first time in the
history of the church the general con-
ference voted today to debate the
bishops veto before the vote was
taken.

METHODIS;TIS Give
WOMEN SUFFRAGE

ATLANTA, Ca, Mao 14.-No more
significant sign of the times could be
pointed out that the action yesterday OF
the Methodist Episcopal church, South,
holding its quadrennial session here,
in granting laity rights to women.
-Four years ago his proposal was de-
cisively defeated, and since that time
the women of the Methodist church
have been quietly but steadfastly as
sorting their rights for voice in
church affairs on equality with men,
contendng that since the church re-
CARDS their aid in all church move
ments being distinctly valuable, GER
tainly the church should accord them
position of dignity. The proposal
yesterday was not even submitted to a
roll call, but was adopted overwhelm-
ingly by a viva voce vote.

OF LEE
COUNTY AGENT

A summarized report of work done
by w. H. Sorrells, ooutny farm demon
stration agent here, during March and
April, has just been rendered the coun-
ty commissioners. 1t is as follows;
Delivered fifteen tons government nj
trate of soda. Hogs inoculated, l2S;
other animals treated 8; bulletins sent
out. 2lO; newspaper articles written,
4; letters written, 252; miscellaneous
conferences. 80; visits to club mem
bers, 37 visits to schools, q; visits
to farms. Sc; meetings held, 10; at
tendance, 491.
Number of club members as follows;
Pig, 113; calf, 81; corn, 10; canning,
II; Poultry, 1S; peanut, 10; total, l92.
The G. S. w. & G. railroad has given
US 20 registered Hamsphire gifts for
our club members through Red Bone
district, fourteen of which hav al
ready been delivered; also six sacks OF
high grade uano for the Corn club
members and pedigreed seed to plant
same, and $500 for prizes to Pig
club members there They have also
agreed to give us 100000 stump
ruller for use in sections adjacent to
their line
Cash contributions to our club mem
hers now total $4,000.
The great and increasing demand
for mules and horses by the army
makes it imperative that we raise
more. This demand will continue for
some time and there is hardly an am
Ie supply on our farms now. Macnln-
cry can often be substituted, but not
enough to keep our horsepower any
thing like normal
The mule is becoming more popular
with the soldiers every day. We have
: only about 4,844,OOO mules and 21,563
horses in the United States. To keep
this over anything like adequate ev-
cry available mare and jenny should
be bred to good stallion or jack at
once. They can be raised for much
less than the prevailing prices and
when properly fed they grow plenty
large for farm uroses.
| While we are sacrificing our boys
lets supply them with everything they
need and at the same time keep the
country as near normal as possible
This is one way of helping. Breed that
mare. 1t will help keep the home
fires burning"
Approaching the sincere interest and
co-operation of the people of the coun-
ty. I am, Respectfully yours,
w H. SORRELLS, County Agent

HARRIS REPLY To
WILLIAM S. HOWARD
ST|Rs CA. POLITICS

ATLANTA, Ga, May 14.-Political
circles in Atlanta are very much stir
red today by William j. Harris inn
mediate and singing reply to Con-
gresham William Schley Towards
reference, in his Wrightville speech
to campaign contribution to Mr..
Harris, in which Mr.. Howard convey
ed the implication that someone In
Washington had presented Mr.. Harris
with check for $4,000.
1T is deliberate and malicious
falsehood," said Mr. Harris, land Mr..
Howard must have known 1t when he
made his inuendo. do not propose at
this time to concern myself with the
many unfounded false statements of
this self-seeking candidate until he an
swers the calls that are being made
upon him by the press of the state to
reveal the full truth concerning his
self-sought interview with President
Wilson. He has been charged with,
deliberately incorporating what
transpired in that interview, and with
deliberately attempting to deceive the
people of Georgia"
Besides handling these hot shots to
Congressman Howard, Mr. Harris dis
posed of H. H. Dean, the Gainesville
awyer who promulgated on Sunday his
second or third, or perhaps his fourth
announcement as senatorial candi-
date, by remarking that his candi-
dacy is an amusing joke, in view OF
the fact that he was defeated for may
or of his own city by Republican OPP
ponent.
Truly, the senatorial race is begin
ming to sound like old tines in Geor-
gia.

OPEN CHARGES AND
COUNTER CHARGES
IN CONTROVERSY

ATLANTA, Ga, May IA. The con-
troversy between the Georgia Railway
& Power Company of this city and the
so-called peoples committee, which is
making war on the company's petl-
ton for increased rates has taken a
sensational turn which threatens to
prove embarrassing to the committee.
In defending it's petition against the
attacks being made upon 1t by the
committee, the power company SHOWS
that several of the leading members OF
the committee were closely associated
with agitation conducted by the street
car strikers in 1916, when the city was
almost thrown into reign of terror
by the dynamiting of trolley cars and
other acts of violence from which in
nocent passengers were the principal
sufferers.
John S. McClelland, one of the alder
men on the peoples committee, is the
lawyer who defended William Pollard,
the strike leader tried for melting
the strikers to the use OF dynamite
and circulating incendiary and riotous
literature.
John J. Pagan, the vice-chairman
OF the committee, was a member OF
the strikers committee composed OF
himself, Marion Jackson, Thomas b.
Fielder and others, who launched an
attack on the power company before
the railroad commission in connection
with the strike. The power company
claims that the strikers committee
procured report by Ballard & Com
pany attacking the company's rates,
service and capitalization, and threat
ened to publish this report unless the
company recognized the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Employees of America.
Earl e. Riggs, secretary Of the peo-
pies committee, is prominent ngure
in the Atlanta Federation OF Trades,
which officially encouraged the street
car strike and attempted 10 enfore
recognition of the car mems union
Claude T.. Ashley, another member Oh
the peoples committee, is also a prom
inent labor leader in the federation
George F. King has been closely as
ISOLATED with John J. Pagan in the
latter's ventures with Marion M Jack
son.
Some of the figures given out by the
peoples committe regarding the COM
pany's earnings, asserts the company,
look remarkably like some OF the
figures published during the strike pro
paganda in now defunct paper called
"The Way" which was edited by
Marion M. Jackson and backed by
John J Pagan.
