RESERVATIONS
IN MITIGATION
URGED BY KILGO

At the close of a strong speech by
Bishop ]. c. Kilgo against the pro-
posed unification of the northern and
southern branches of the Methodist
Episcopal Church except with the
provisos that local self government
be preserved, that the rights Of III
rorities be safeguarded, and that ne
groes be, kept as they are in a sep
arate church of their own, the At
lanta Methodist Stewards Associa-
ton, meeting in quarterly session
Tuesday night at Park Street Meth
odiSt church, adopted resolutions
urging the southern members of the
Joint committee on unification to ap
prove no plan of unification which
may be presented at their forthcom-
ing session unless that plan 4nbod-
les each and everyone of these pro-
visos, especially the one relating to
the negro.
Bishop Kilgo, whose home is in
Charlotte, n. c., is a former presi-
dent of Trinity College, and is one
of the strong men of southern Meth
odism. He spoke Tuesday night to
the stewards of Atlanta with great
eloguence and power. His address
was a general arraignment Of radi-
calism in all fields of thought and
lines of endeavor. Nothing, he de-
clared, is safe from the rising tide
that threatens to sweep away insti-
tutions of religion, education, indus
try. land politics. 1t is time for con-
sentative men to set themselves
against the forces of destruction
falsely claiming to be the forces of
progress.
Judge Howard E. W. Palmer in
troduced the resolutions adopted at
the close of the bishops address.
They were adopted by a rising vote
on motion of Asa G.. Gambler. They
called upon the southern members
of the unification committee to gov
ern themselves in accordance with
the declaration of principle adopted
by the general conference of south
ern Methodists in Oklahoma City in
1914 and subsequently reaffirmed by
the general conference in Atlanta in
1918. This declaration embodied the

All Fur-Bearing
Animals Are in
Demand lust Now

All of the trapper's work isn't con-
fined to the three or four months
when he is out running his lines and
engaged in trapping operations prop
er. No, there's a whole lot of pre-
season activity which the careful
trapper will not neglect.
No trapper ever lost anything by
being prepared ahead of time, but
there are plenty all over the coun-
try who could trace big or little losses
to their having delayed too long. So
the sooner you get everything ready
for trapping, the surer you are of
avoiding disappointments and, per-
haps losses later.
It's a good plan to decide at an
early date just what animals you're
going to go after when the season is
on, for then you'll know just what
preparations to make. If you know
in advance that you won't be able
to devote a very great amount of
time to trapping that's no reason
why you can't go in for it at ALL
1t simply means that you will have
to have a shorter trap line and con-
fine your operations to the immediate
vicinity of your home. But it doesn't
mean you can't get your share of
pleasure and profit out Of trapping.
Skunk and civet cat, especially, are
two fur bearers that seem to have
little fear of man, and they often
locate right on your own home lot.
Dens of skunks are often discovered
nn6pr houses nd oJJ
or straw stacks, old trees and hedge
fences; and the civet has been found
to be even less particular on hoy
close he gets to man.
So with little accommodating and
close study of the ground in your
neighborhood, you will be able to
single out their dens, runways and
tracks and then you get a clear idea
or just where to set your traps. If
you can't leave the home territory
to any great extent, set more traps
right in your own neighborhood, Get
plenty of traps and bait and have
everything planned before the sea
son begins.
If, however, you have the time t =,
go into trapping on bigger scale,
then 1t becomes all the more i'm
portant that your preparations are
thorough and complete in every re-
spect Plan your trapping lines ac-
curately, and know beforehand where
you are going to make your sets and
what animal each trap is expected
to catch.
Here is the big thing that every
trapper-especially he who traps on
a large scale-wants to impress on
himself. After the season opens in
full swing, you need all the time
that you set aside for trapping for
making your sets and running your
line, skinning, casing and drying your
catch and shipping it away. There
won't be any too much time left
then to get new traps in order and
make your outfit complet and to be-
eide on the best places for making
sets. For time lost on hurried prepa-
ration after the season opens, means
so many dollars out of your pocket

F'AIRBURN BANK
CASE WILL BE
HEARD SATURDAY

The next important development
in the Fairburn bank case will
come next Saturday before Judge
George l.. Bell in the superior
court, when a hearing will be held
tc decide whether a permanent re-
ceiver shall be appointed for the
property of Mrs. Catherine Queen
Rradstreet and William B. Green.
The hearing was set by Judge
Bell when he appointed James H.
Longino, of Fairburn, temporary re-
ceiver for their property soon after
their arrest. Since then thousands
Of dollars worth of property be-
longing to Mrs. Bradstreet has been
taken from her hotel and from
the home of her father, A. P. Queen,
in Panthersville, and stored in safe
deposit and in warehouses in At
lanta. Green's property also was
taken in charge by Receiver Longi-
no.
At the Saturday hearing, it is
understood the entire question of
whether the prosecution in the
Bradstreet case has right to
seize this property, will be threshed
out. Such a right must be shown, it
is said, before a permanent re-
ceiver is appointed, and in order
to make such a showing it may
be necessary for the prosecution to
rrove that there was shortage in
the banks affairs and also prove
that the property owned by Mrs
Bradstreet was bought with none"
furnished her by Green.
Is
of the evidence already gathered by
the prosecution will be made pub
lie in court then instead of walt
ing until the Monday following.
when Green, Mrs. Bradstreet. Clac-
ence F. Bradstreet and the negro
chauffeur Robert Ellison, come up
for commitment hearings in Camp
bell county before Justice of the
Peace Homer Mcdaniel.
1t is possible that by the time
for this hearing the audit Of the
. banks books will be completed. al
though w. O. Martin & company,
appointed by State Bank Examiner
w. J. Speer to perform the audit,
will make no statement on the stat
us of their Investigations until
their report is ready.
w. T. Roberts, president of the
Fairburn Banking company. told
The Journal Tuesday that the audit
had not progressed far enough for
any statement on the banks al
fairs to be made. He reiterated his
previous statement that no depoSitoc
will suffer penny's loss in the
event a shortage is discovered. \
Mrs. Bradstreet still is at the
home of her parents in Partners
Vile. She was in Atlanta for a
little while Monday, comforting with
her attorneys, but was not eX-
pected in the city Tuesday. Her
husband still is at the tower a"d
the chauffeur, Ellison, is in Jail

HOLD COTTON FOR
40 CENTS, URGES
ALGOOD OF ALA.

MONTGOMERY. Ala. - Declar-
ing that cotton will soon sell for
Forty cents pound and cotton seed
will go higher in price, M. c. Algood.
commissioner of agriculture of Ala
bama, in a statement urged farmers
to hold their cotton and seed for
better prices.
Commissioner Algood sent the fol-
of agriculture in the cotton grow
ing states:
gained at the World Cotton Confer
ence at New Orleans:
"spinners Could Pay 60 Cents"
English spinners will make ar
rangements to buy three million
bales of American cotton Indica-
tons now are less than a ten mil =
lion bale crop. English and American
spinners have very little cotton on
hand. They are making immense
fortunes on account of the high
prices received for their goods. They
COOlO III" pay lIAO 1e1A 11lSL o1%AIy
cents for cotton based on the selling
price Of cloth.
"Spinners are excited over the
shortage of our production. They
have millions tied up in equipment
and thousands of workers dependent
upon them for work, and must have
cotton. The American farmers have
a limitede supply of cotton and car
and will get forty cents if hey hold
for it. 1t takes twelve months to
grow cotton. 1t should Re market
ed over a period of twelve months
and not forced on the market in
three months. This years crop was
produced on the basis of the war
time price and with four successive
short crops, the world will face
cotton famine next June.
Cotton Seed Short
thousands of tons of cotton seed
in Texas on account of the incessant
rains have sprouted and rotted in
the fields. In previous years cot
ton seed mills hav ecrushed thou
sands Of tons of peanuts. Today
peanuts are selling for $3.50 a ton
for Smelling purposes and mills can
not buy them for crushing purposes
Therefore, cottonseed oil will have
no competition from peanut oil.
Heretofore thousands of heads of
hogs have been fattened on cheap
peanuts. Peanuts will all be harvest
ed and thus the supply of fats from
this source will be curtaiied. And
cottonseed oil will certainly be in
great demand. There will be prac-
tical1y no peanut meal produced, and
thus cottonseed meal will have no
competition as a stock feed. It IS
one of the best protein feeds on
the market and will sell for much
higher prices.
Therefore, based on these facts.
beg farmers to tenaciously hold on
10 their cotton and seed until the
above mentioned prices are OBJ
tanned"

"Hold Peanuts - Is
Advice of Field Agent

ALBANY, Ga, Oct. 1S.-"Hoid your
peanuts and get $24O a ton for
them,' is the advice given to Georgia
farmers by w. W. Webb, of Hahira,
field agent Of the state bureau of
markets, who was here for short
time yesterday. Buyers from Vir-
ginia and tie CaroIinas are in the
Georgia market this year, says Mr..
Webb, and they will pay twelve
cents a pound for this years Geor-
gia peanut crop if they have to.
There is a wide difference in prices
paid for peanuts in different parts
of the state, says Mr.. Webb, rang
ing from $3.50 to $145 a ton, but in
every case the price paid is far be-
low what the grower should receive
and will receive if he holds his pea
nuts. The crop this year is a small
one and an abnormal demand will
prevail for seed peanuts next spring,
is Mr.. Webb's opinion, which is an
other reason for holding.

Macon Fair Open;
Exhibits Are Fine
And Crowd Good

MACON, Ga, Oct. 22.-With pros
poets that it will be the greatest in
the history of the association, the
Georgia State fair opened at Cen
trail City park here Wednesday morn
ing and will continue ten days.
Practically every county in
south and central Georgia and
several in the northern part of the
state have entered the county exhibit
contest. This has been an annual
event for years and keen rivalry is
aroused between the counties. Hand
some cash prizes are offered.
Every day of the 1919 fair will be
a feature day. Friday will be agri-
cultural day, when farmers from all
parts of the state will gather here
Saturday, Governor Hugh Dorsey and
his staff and members of their fami-
lies will be guests of the association.
The grounds will be opened Sunday
and a concert will be played by the
Rainbow Division band. The band,
which will also play concerts every
afternoon and evening during the
exhibition, is composed of veterans
of the forty-second division and
served nearly two years in France.
The One Hundred and Fifty-first
Machine Gun battalion, composed
largely of Macon soldiers, was a
member of the division and many of
the musicians are personal friends
of the Macon soldiers. Tuesday of
next week will be Rainbow Division
day, and members of the former ma
tional guard units will attend.
The races will start Saturday of
this week and continue through Fri
day. The card provides for harness
races only, but it is probable there
will be several running Sevents if suf-
ficient entries are obtained. Many
of the horses that contested in At
lanta at the Southeastern fair v-ill be
here. Most of them have arrived.
Several celebrated stables winter at
Central City park, and all have en-
tered horses in the races.
Next Monday will be cattle day, and
awards in many live stock depart
ments will be. made. Live stock men
will have their inning in earnest We'd
nesday when the Georgia Swine
Breeders association and the Cattle
Breeders association will hold their
annual conventions here and spend
most of the day seeing the exhibits
at the fair. At night they will be
guests of the fair association at a
banquet.
Thursday will be tractor day. The
national farm power machinery
demonstration held here last spring
has increased interest in this region
in power machinery, and practically
every make >of tractor in the coun-
try will be demonstrated. A Ford
son tractor and complete set of farm
ing implements has been offered as
a prize in the boys pig club contest.
The offer was made by the manu-
facturer.
The children's cabs have sent
many exhibits, which are in charge of
officials of the State College of Agri-
culture of Athens. They include
practically all of the $4,000 school
children in Bibb county, and many
from other counties will attend.
The faip will close on the night
