Mondays Daily Herald.)

At / o'clock this afternoon Chair
man Joe Frank Porter, of the Centena-
ry campaign in the Mt Pleasant dis
trict, reported that district over the
top with its $4,000 quota fully sub
scribed.
The following charges had made
complete reports to Chairman Porter:
Mt. Pleasant, assessed $11,075, sub
scribed $4,000; Williamsport circuit,
assessed $6,375, subscribed $9.202; En-
terprise circuit, assessed $4,300 sub
scribed $4,000; Savannah, assessed
$3.50, subscribed $3.50; Lawrence
burg assessed $7,400; subscribed, $10,.
900; Cross Bridges and Hampshire, as,
sessed $6,375, subscribed $6,4OO. 9th
err charges have made only incom-
plete reports
Owing = to the inaccessibility of
%many of the churches and the wide
extent of the territory covered Chair
man Joe Frank Porter, Of the Cente-
nary campaign for the Mt. Pleasant
district, was unable to get anything
like complete report from the charg
es. However, at midnight Sunday
night he authorized the announcement
that more than $4,000 of the $S1 900
assessed to the district had been
pledged and he was absolutely certain
that the other churches would report
the district over.
Mt. Pleasant allowing all credits,
practically doubled its quota OF SILL
OTIS Lawrenceburg reported over the
top. The WilliamspOrt charge, ev-
cry church in it, went over the top.
Cross Bridges and Hampshire would
have unquestionably reported over
Sunday, but for funeral of one of the
prominent members.
The Enterprise circuit went over
the top and the Enterprise church
made marvellous achievement going
over with no less than $4OO to spare.
Capt. T. Y. English did yoeman work
at this charge.
There may be some remote sections
of the district that will not reach the
goal, but the whole district is certain
to finish at the top of the list.
Chairman Porter today was one of
the happiest men in Methodism. He
has worked increasingly for the organ
ization of the district. He has person.
ally visited all of the charges and
plead with the members to see their
duty and do it. He never doubted the
success of the movement. He stated
today that 1t might be several days
before complete reports could be OBJ
tanned.

|REALTY TRANSFERS
FOR MAY ARE HEAVY
WILL PROBABLY EQUAL THE BIG
RECORD MADE IN SAME MONTH
LAST YEAR.

Despite the fact that May real es-
tate transfers last year were very
heavy for that month, never a big
one in land sales, from present indi-
cations the transfers this year will be
equally as large if they do not show
a gain. During May of last year the
realty transfers in the county amount
ed to $4,000. With only two thirds
of the month gone they already ag-
gregate $4,000.

OBTAINED ON $4,000 AS
SESSMENT.
RESULT OF PERSONAL CANVASS
Within Less Than Four Hours the
Teams Report oversubscription OF
$4,000 and Canvass not Finished.
Gift Of 5000.
Mondays Daily Herald. }

Without the inspiration of mass
meeting, of music. and of personal elo
quence, the members of the First
Methodist church achieved a record
here Sunday that will ever make the
hearts of Methodists and in fact of all
Christians thrill with pride and
thanksgiving This church did not
have it's usual morning services Sun.
day because of the commencement
sermon of the County High School.
It's huge assessment of $4,000 with
couple of thousand dollars to spare,
was raised in a personal canvass at
the homes of the members in less
! than four hours during the afternoon.
The teams could not see all of the
members in that time and Chairman
Sloan of the local committee, assured
the audience at the First church on
! Sunday night that it was altogether
Iiprobable that the final total would go
to not less than 100000.
The work was done through per-
feet organization that had been
brought into being by Chair
man Charles A. Sloan. The team cap
tains and workers left the church at
2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. At 6
o'clock the church was officially re-
ported over the top.
The subscriptions here were mar
velous. Eileen of the members gave
as much as 81 900 each. One venera
bel woman, a life long and devoted
member, had the honor of being the
largest contributor to the cause. An
other member gave $500
Not all of the members have been
seen. 1t is the ambition of Chairman
Sloan and his captains to have some
contribution from every family of the
church. The canvass will be resumed
this week and final reports will be
made at meeting of the teams on
Thursday night
Reports were submitted at a mass
meeting of the members on Sunday
hight, when Chairman Sloan reported
$4,000 without allowing for any of
the missionary credits to which the
church is entitled. Many were the
fervent but silent amens that ascend
ed from the members.
Chairman Hopkins, for the Colum-
bia district then submitted an equally
optimistic report, saying that only
two churches had reported behind
and they were Mooresville in Marshall
and Glendale in Maury. Chairman
Hopkins paid fervent tribute to
Chairman Sloan, to the other workers
of the district. He also publicly
thanked The Herald for its aid. He
declared that he did not know how he
could have conducted the campaign
without the emphatic and loyal sup
port of The Herald which had been
big factor in the success achieved.

WEST END.

Maurice Tourneur's latest Para mount-Artcraft production, 9Th e White Heather" will be the main fea- ture at the West End theatre tonight. The story is adapted from the melo- drama written by Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton, which had a long run at the Drury. Lane theatre in London. Indirectly the title comes from the little flower of the Scotch Highlander, the white heather, which
 is said to bring good luck to its wearer.

 ground for but a part of the story.
 The action centers around the re- covery of a marriage record from
