Significant Movement of
Times is that Of Gen.
tenary Of M. E.
Church, South
Bill introduced in Senate and
House in Their Behalf--The
Church Organization Al
so to Give Aid

The fact that several thousand SOL
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their super
iors and that many, many thousands
could not sign their own names to the
questionnaires brought to light a con
dition so serious that two Southern
representatives at Washington are
now introducing bills to promote the
education of illiterates throughout
the length and breadth of America
The introduction of this important
bill means a great deal to the South
which, because of its negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne a
reputation for illiteracy out of pro-
portion to that of the rest CT the
country.
Organizations besides that of the
government are at work on the same
problem - the estal lishment 0 t
schools in the heart of tenement dis
tricts and rural communities being a
matter of first Importance with all of
them One of the most significant
movements of the times IN this con
nection is that of the Centenary of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, because that denomination will
expend within the next five years
over 100000 among the uneducated
classes in the Southern and Western
States The church is to raise fund
of 100000 in an eight-day drive in
April, the financial campaign being a
part of the Centenary Celebration of
the denomination. The money is be-
ing raised with a view to putting the
work of the church on business ba-
sis, the church considering it's duty
to the illiterates here in America to
be among the matters of first impor
lance which it should undertake

 Robert seems to be getting along fine" said Judge Greene last night. "He had a headache at meal time Sunday night and drank a cup of coffeeN only but at other times has eaten substan italy of what was put before him.
 Mrs Kirtley, the wife of the dead man, continues i'll at the residence of her sister, Mrs. M. R. McNeil. While under the influence of opiates, admin istered to relieve her nervous condi tion. she once or twice made references to the killing and was heard to say something about wanting her hus- bank back.
