Methodist Preachers
Ask Higher Salaries

ATLANTA, Nov. 15.-ResoIutions
recommending a minimum salary of
$1,000 for Methodist ministers of
the North Georgia conference were
introduced at today's session of the
conference, which is meeting in the
Wesley Memorial church in this CITY.
The resolution on salaries was intro
duced by a committee of about twen-
ty laymen and was discussed with
much fervor, it being pointed out that
several ministers in the conference
receive an annual salary of less than
$1,000 per year. Under the rules
of the conference the resolution was
referred to the committee on resolu-
tions for consideration and report.
After a somewhat spirited election,
DR.. o. 0. Jones, DR.. W. T. Hunni-
cutt, DR.. ]. F. Marlborough and DIR.
T. J. Christian were chosen as trus-
tees on the board of the WESLEYAN
Christian Advocate. The first two
trustees were chosen only after four
ballots had been taken. The paper
became involved in a rather compli-
Gated situation not long ago when DR..
W. c. Lovett, editor, resigned and
subsequently withdrew his resigna-
tion. DR.. R. F. Fakes, business man
ager, refused to resign when re-
quested to do so by the board of
trustees. Criticism of the policies of
the publication caused the controver-
sy The conference will be in session

WIFE SLAIN IN CZAR'S ARMS.
Former Valet Tells of the Murder of
the Entire Romanoff Family by
the BolsheViki.

London.-A dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph from Amsterdam
says the Kiev newspapers publish a
story given by the valet of the former
empress of Russia of the murder Of
the entire Romanoff family by the boil
sheviki.
The valet said on July II all of the
members Of the family were taken to
the cellar of the convent at Ekaterin-
burg and placed against the wall and
shot one after the other. According
to the story, the murderers granted the
last request of the former Emperor
Nicholas that his wife, who was ill,
should die in his arms.
According to the valet, the Grand
Duchess Tatiano was only wounded by
the shots of the riflemen and was
killed by blows from their rifle butts.
All the bodies were burned in the out
skirts of Ekaterinburg.

LOST LIP IN BATTLE
NOW HAS new ONE
New York Officer the Subject of
an Interesting Operation
in England.

A surgeon has played trick on
Lieut.. Clement G. Felt of Oean, N. Y.
/ But the lieutenant is not angry about
it. In fact, he is one of the happiest
men in London. He was hit by a shell
on September % in the terrible battle
between Cambria and st. Quentin,
when the Hindenburg line was broken.
He lay unconscious in a shell hole,
nobody knows how long. He doesn't.
When he came to himself he found
that he was wounded in the hip, in the
hand, and also that his lower lip had
been blown away. He was taken to
hospital and examined by q surgeon,
who. in due course placed him under
Gn anesthetic and made him a new
lip. The work was so perfectly done
that even the lieutenant's own mother
would never detect that the present lip
is the second one thag her son has
worn. All that remains to show that
he was wounded in the mouth is
slight scar, just a badge of honor.
Lieutenant Felt often wondered
where the new flesh came from that
went to his face. Was it taken from
the anatomy of some generous colonel,
or major general? Was it a cOntribu-
tion of some pretty young English
maiden? That was what he hoped
most of all. Lieutenant Felt is a bach
elor. But, alas, it wasn't. Only the
other day came the disillusionment.
The bandages of his own left hand,
which he thought had been damaged
by the shell, were unwrapped. Then
he discovered the trick the surgeon had
played upon him while he was under
the influence of the ether. There was
a deep cut in the hand. That was
the new lip. aid

THINKS HE WILL SEE AGAIN
Hero Blinded by High Explosive Shell
Believes His Sight Will
Return.

Philadelphia.-Just one doctor out

the sight of Lieut.. Frank Schoble, Jr.,
can be restored.
"a thousand doctors may tell me I'll
not get my sight again, but 1 know
that in a few months Tn going to see
again." cried the young fighting man
when told his case was hopeless.
The lieutenant was leading his men
in a picturesque ravine in the Argonne
forest in France when a high explosive
shell blinded him.

SUGGESTION OF
SCHOOL SURVEY
(By E. A. Duke, Rural School Sup
erYisorl

Oklahoma City, Jan. This group
includes districts Nos. 116, 1T, 11S
| and 119 and parts of 124 and 25, hav-
ing a total area of 40 square miles
| and taxable valution of 100000.
These districts are situated in the
northwestern part of Grady county.
The roads in that section are not as
good as the roads in the Lambert
Consolidated district Alfalfa county,
which has an area of SO square miles,
but they are as good as those found
in the large Ninnekah district in
Grady county, which has an area of
40 square miles,
A consolidated school could be pro-
vided for the pupils in the northwest
ern corner of Grady county just as
easily as consolidated schools are
provided in the Broxton Consolidated
district, Caddo county, with an area
of AZ square miles and a valuation of
only $467 1894 and a school population
of 25S; or in the Rosston CONSOLIDATE
ed district, Harper county, with an
area of 38 square miles, a valuation
of $4OO,3O5 an da school population
of 1876. The tax levies in the six
districts included in this group
range from to mills. The Drift
wood and Lambert consolidated dis
tricts in Alfalfa county, levied only
65 mills last year and the Amber
district in Grady county levied only
8 mills last year The four districts
In this group could maintain a good
consolidated school on levy of 10
or IL mills.
A levy of 10 mills together with
the state apportionment would pro-
duce $5,5O8 each year. 1t would not
be necessary to employ more than
four teachers the first year or two
after the districts consolidated. A
fifth teacher should be added after
the high school enrolment is built
up. These four teacho- yould cost
about $2,400 for LIN of eight
months. Not more than five wagons
would be needed to furnish trans
portation for the pupils living two
miles or more from the consolidat-
ed schoOlhouse. The average salary
of drivers in the two consolidated
districts in Grady county last year
was $3.50 per month. Let us esti-
mate the salaries of the drivers
at $50 per month, although by per-
mitting large pupils to drive this
cost can be reduced considerably.
At $50 per month thetransportation,
five wagons, will cost for a term of
eight months, a total of $2400. This !
would leave $708 to pay for sup
plies and incidental expenses, if a |
levy of 16 mills is made or $1,000 |
to pay for these expenses if a levy |
Of II mills is made The consoli-
lated school could easily be main
aimed for term of eight months
with a 12-mill levy, at present, or
or a term of nine months on IA
