METHODIST WOMEN
WIN LONG FIGHT
GENERAL CONFERENCE RE-
GENTLY HELD IN ATLANTA,
GIVES THEM LAITY RIGHTS.

Atlanta, Ca, May 15.-After 4O
wears of effort, women of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, South, have
been granted, by action of the gen
eral conference full lay membership
in the church.
Paragraphs in the discipline stat
ing: ut is not in harmony with the
spirit of our iaw that women be mem
bers of a general conference; it IS
not lawful to elect woman stew
ard, and a woman may be elected a
superintendent Of a Sunday school,
but is not thereby member of the
quarterly conference" were ordered
stricken from the book of laws.
The measure passed is practically
the same which was presented by the
woman's missionary council at the
general conference in 1914, and then
defeated by vote of los to Ill. In
their petition the women asked that
all restrictions against them be re-
moved from the discipline; that the
word laymen be interpreted to in
ciude women, and for recognition
and privileges which are inherent
with membership.
While it was practically certain
that the women would win, surprise
was expressed that the viva voce vote
in their favor was so Overwhelmingly
large.

LOCAL CAMPAIGN FOR
TO BE SYSTEMATICALLY
CONDUCTED.
MEETINGS ARE HELD
Workers Addressed Assem-
blages in Several Different
Neighborhoods Sunday.

The nationwide drive for funds
for the American Red Cross Society
begins next Saturday, and plans fol
an unusually vigorous campaign in
Lowndes county have been perfect
ed by DR.. j. W. Lipscomb, county
chairman, who has organized his
forces in such a manner that the
work will be carried on in a thorough
ly bueiness-like and efficient man
ner.
The appeal is one which should
touch the heart Of every citizen, and
especially those who have relatives
at the front; for the chief work of
the American Red Cross Society is
in ministering to the wants of these
soldiers. Its hospitals and dressing
stations are near every battle front,
and when man is wounded their
surgeons and nurses are the first to
give him succor.
A vast amount OF work pre-
liminary to the campaign has already
been accomplished, meetings for the
purpose Of arousing interest therein
having been held in various neigh
borhoods throught the county Last
Sunday DR.. Lipscomb and Hon. j. |.
Sturdiyant attendent an all-day
singing which was held at Pleasant
Hill church, and both delivered
speeches in which they made eloquent
pleas for liberal Red Cross contribu-
tions.
On the same day Hon. c. L. Gar
nett delivered an address at Murrah
Chapel, in the Dunbar neighborhood,
in which he forcefully urged the
worthiness of appeal which the Red
Cross is making for aid. He was en-
Enthusiastically received and reports

borhood are very much interested in
the work,

GERMANS PREPARE
FOR NEW OFFENSIVE
SIGNS INDICATE EARLY ATTACK
BETWEEN LA EASSE
AND AMiENs.

With the French Army In France,
Monday, May la.--Ihe Germans are
preparing most methodically for re-
sumption of their offensive. Signs
seem to show that they will attack
between La Basse and the front
south of Amiens, but it is also proba-
BILE they will execute secondary op-
erations simultaneously in Flanders
between Montdididier and Noyon,
and possibly on other parts of the
front, in the hope Of attracting the
allied reserves away from the CEN
ter.
1t is regarded as possible that
these lesser assaults will be delivered
before the principal attack, When
ever the Germans decide to engage
in battle, however, they will find
facing them French, British and
American troops ready to meet the
shock, in whatever strength it may
be delivered
The enemy's searchings for weak
ness in various parts of the allied
lines has brought him only defeats,
such as that southwest of Mailly-
Raineval on Saturday morning, The
special shock battalion which the
Germans threw in there left behind
96 prisoners, including an officer and
IA noncommissioned officers, when i
retired beaten, The ground facing
the position was covered with dead,
almost the entire attacking party
being destroyed.
In preparing for resumption of the
fighting the Germans are reconsti-
tuting their used-up divisions and
bringing up others which have not
participated previously in the great
battle.
They also are reinforcing their ar
tillery powerfully and forming large
supply depots behind the lines.

FRIEND PRESENTS A. VAL
UABLE GIFT TO LOCAL
INSTITUTION.
WILL BE IMPROVED
Dairy and Other Buildings
Will be Erected on Newly
Acquired Property.

A staunch friend of the Mississippi
Industrial Institute and College,
who with the modesty that often
characteristics the true philanthropist
has purchased and presented to that
institution valuable tract OF land
for use as farm, thus filling long
felt want and placing the college
in a better position than ever before
to offer to its students practical
training in home science and other
kindred branches.
The farm is located about two and
one-half miles northeast OF Colum-
but on the waterworks road and en-
braces $40 acres of land 1t was
formerly owned by Mr.. E. 5. Moore,
we'll known citizen of this city, but
was sold by him a short time ago to
the Southern Land and Abstract
Company of Memphis from which
concern the recent purchase was
made.
The tract of land is admirably
adapted to the purpose for which it
is to be used and it is the purpose
of President Whitfield to erect there
ON a dairy, barn and other necessary
buildings.
The presentation of the land to
the college has brought a materiali-
zation of hopes long cherished by
President Whitfield, who for num-
of years past has realized the urgent
need for college farm and who has
made strenuous efforts to induce the
legislature to make an appropriation
for the purchase of the necessary
land. His efforts in this direction
have, however, been in vain, and
both he and the institution over
which he so ably presides are to be
congratulated upon the fact that
this generous friend has stepped IN
and supplied the long felt need.
