TURNING TO GEORGIA.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-While
members of the house loudly APP
plauded him, Representative William
Schley Howard today asked for leave
of absence for thirty days to go to
Georgia and open his senatorial cam
paign. The leave of absence was
unanimously granted by the house.
Asks Consent.
"Mr. Speaker" said Representa-

nous consent that / may be absent

not ask this because of illness in my
family or on account of business, but
l frankly tell you / want to go to

The members present applauded
Mr.. Howard and laughed at his frank
statement about his reason for want
ing to be away. Ordinarily leave of
absence is granted because Of illness
or business.
House Laughs Again.
"The gentleman from Georgia asks
leave of absence for thirty DAYS to
run for SENATOR" said Speaker Clark
with little grin. The house laughed
heartily again and then granted the
request.

POWER OF BISHOPS
TO Be CURTAILED?
BIG QUESTION is BEFORE GEN
ERAL METHODIST CONFER
ENCE NOW IN SESSION.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Shall the power
of the bishops of the Methodist
church be curtailed?
This issue, the biggest and most
far-reaching that ever came up in
this great denomination, is going to
dominate the quadrennial session of
the Methodist general conference
now in session here.
A number of the nest influential
laymen in the church have launched
a movement to curtail the power of
the bishcGs and generally to "democ-
ratize' the form of church govern
ment. They have eircularized the
delegates to the general conference,
both lay and clerical, with some very
interesting pamphlets. They are go
ing to force the issue at the next SEES
sion.
Autocl attic Forms.
For many years there has been an
undercurrent of dissatisfaction in the
Methodist church against the social
ed autocratic forms of government.
The Methodist preacher is under a
certain restraint which applies to a
minister in no other protestant de-
nomination, with possibly one excep-
ton. A Methodist congregation is
under the absolute authority of the
bishop Ct a conference, advised by
his cabinet, concerning the pastor
they shall have. They are limited to
a term of four years by any pastor,
no matter how much longer they
want him, and they are obliged to
keep e pastor four years if the bish-
op and his cabinet say so, regardless
of how strongly they may dislike
him.
Comes to Surface.

ton la core to the surface at last,
as all informed observers have ex-
pecgeo it weuld, and kn0ms it would,

OUTLOOK OF COTTON
CROP is REPORTED
AN INCREASED ACREAGE AND
LARGER YIELD is INDICATED
EY RECENT ESTIMATES.

.4EN YORK, N. "a prelimi-
nary investigation into the outlook of
the cotton crop for the year 1918
indicates a larger yield than any
since 1911. The replies of nearly
1,700 special correspondents of the
Journal of Commerce and CONNER
cial Bulletin, bearing an average
date April %, point to an increase
In acreage of 4 per cent. over last
year. This compares with 2 decrease
of IS re- cent. last year at this time.
Planting is far from complete in
many sections, and with favorable
weather the final report on acreage,
to appear about June l, viii prob
ably show a larger gain. The area
under cotton, therefore, as estimated
will be 35,817,000 acres. A liberal
use of fertilizers is reported, being
"a per cent, more than last year,
much of it being of high grade quail
ty.
The season started early, cold
weather, frosts and copious rains in
many sections delaying work and
causing considerable replanting. The
whole belt averages three days late,
but with normal climatic conditions
this can be readily overcome. Prep
aration of the soil has been almost
universally good and seed is plentiful
and Of good quality. Scarcity of la
Dor IS anticipated when cultivation
and picking begins, especially in the
event of wet season. The war draft
is largely responsible for this short
age. Food propaganda in some To-
calities has induced farmers to plant
more foodstuffs, but replies do not
show any marked tendency to com
ply.

AWFUL PRICE IN MEMS LIVES;

In front of the defending positions

Other Places to Be Filled.
There are two vacancies on the
state railroad commission. Judge
George Hillyer will retire after this
year, and Volney Williams, of Way
cross, is the only announced candi-
date for that place at this time. Col.
John T. Boifeullet, of Macon, is fill
ing the unexpired term of Joseph F.
Gray, resigned, until the next cleo
ton. Col. Boifeullet will stand for
election for that place-unless the
report which comes from one of his
friends today is correct, and he de-
cides to go after the alluring office
of United States senator. 1t has
heretofore been understood that, if
anything should happen to take Gov.
Dorsey into the senate race, Mr..
BOifeuillet would offer for governor,
an Office which he has heretofore ex-
pressed a strong desire to fill.
