Corn Crib Burned

Thursday night of last week e.
N. Quillin and son, near Hollow
Rock, lost a crib Cf corn BY tire.
The crib contained about 1870 bar
rels. The fire was discovered
about Z o'clock, but was under
such Roadway that it could not be
put out. They do not have the
least idea how the fire originated.
Mr.. Dublin and his son are large
farmers and stock growers and
have quite a lot of stock on hand
to which they intended feeding tile
corn that was burned. They had
$500 insurance, but this will not
cover one-half the loss.

the family of each with a beauti-
full floral Offering. The parade

Der present that at an early date,
be would call a mass-meeting to

the report.
The board reported the purchase for
100000 of the Sophia Newsome col
lege property in New Orleans for the
use of the training school authorized
last year by the convention. Recon-
mendation was made that no steps be
taken toward establishing a negro
seminary until the split among the
negro Baptists has been settled.
It was also recommended that steps
be taken at once to open a tubercu-

EpISC0PALIANS CONCENTRATE
MONEY-RAISING EFFORTS ON
WAR FUNDS,

The war commission of the Protest
ant Episcopal church will be the only
organization of that church encourag-
ed to press financial drives during the
period of the war. This was decided
recently by the bishops, priests and
laymen at the board of missions of the
Episcopal church in New York. 1t
was further decided at this time that
the launching of drive for missiona-
ry, educational, and social-service
work might in some measure divert
attention from the efforts of the coun-
try to raise funds for objects more imr
mediately connected with the winning
of the war. N
The imperative demand for larger
income necessitated by war prices will
be met in, some way than drive.
Large and important plans for adj
vance work will be postponed in order
to free the resources of the members
of the Episcopal church for the pur-
chase of Liberty bonds, Red Cross
work, and the work of the church war
commission.

Report Of County
Probation Officer

To Board of County Commissioners:
That there is large field for worl
ale he lines of social welfare ever
n a sparsely settled section like Pi-
aeilas county is well Illustrated by tbs
calls for assistance received during the
past month.
A boy of fourteen, earning twenty
dollars a month, and well spoken o!
by his employer, has been left home
less. At this formative period of his
life he needs, and must have, the re-
straining and sustaining influences OF
good home if he is to develop into
good citizen. What mother of q
boy in St. Petersburg will share her
notherly care and her sons room with
this boy for what he can afford TO
give?
An invalid lady can give a comfort
able home, with light employment and
moderate wages, to woman or de-
pendable girl who will stay with her.
but up to the present time no one suit
able has been found Search was also
made for an elderly woman to stay
with mother of small children dur
ing short absence of the father, but
also without results.
The mother of an invalid boy who
taxes her time and strength, and who
is sinking beneath the load, needs
more than anything else strong
friend who will help her to make the
most of what she has, in order to keep
her home in shape, and to give her
other children their chance in life.
Two men, so situated that they make
but precarious living for heir large
families need to he helped out of tie
rut into which they have fallen, and
to be shown that, with the present
shortage of labor. ne ablecodied man
need be satisfied with less than liv
ing wage.
The aged nlaitreported last month
as escaping from threatened blindness,
has had a relapse, and it is almost \
certainty that his Independent life
must end in darkness and dependence.
Three boys have been before the
Juvenile court, and placed under pro-
baton. The problem of the lack Of
is the most difficult one
to solve in connection with their wei
fare. With suitable employment un-
der proper supervision their abundant
could be diverted into useful
channels instead of being employed in
mischief and destruction This is es-
oecially true after the close of school,
and a solution Of the difficulty was

war activities have directly affected
the work of the church was emphasiz-
ed in the report which the board of
home missions made recentl.5 to the
Southern Baptist convention here.
The report called attention to the
fact that last year the convention
pledged the property, the lives and sa-
cred honor of the Baptists of the
South to the president of the United
States in the prosecution of the war
with Germany and said that despite
large sums given the Red Cross and
army Y. M. C. A. and the purchase of
liberty bonds, the Baptists of the
South have done the largest church
work in their history in the past year.
A total Of 100000 was given for this
work, an increase of more than $780,
I6eO over the preceding year. Texas
Baptists gave the most, Georgia was
second and South Carolina third. The
report added;
"The war has altered many condi-
lions. There is little need for work
among immigrants as few are coming
into our country. Other centers, how
ever, have arisen that demand atten-
ton. The army camps, the ship build
1 ing enterprises scattered from Balti-
more to Galveston and employing
thousands of workmen, the munition
factories in Alabama and Tennessee,
Some of them doubling the population
/ of the places where they are located
il present opportunities that cannot be
overlooked"
The report stated that in the army
camps, in conjunction with the state
mission secretaries and the Northern
/ Baptist convention, much work has
been undertaken. One camp pastor
has been sent to every cantonment In
the South to work in harmony with
the Y. M. C. A. men and the chaplains

numbers to the call of their country,
