took fire and very perceptible odor OF
burning alarmed the spectators. \ panic
seemed to be imminent, when an actor
appeared on the stage.

The audience did not seem treasured.

As We Make 1t.

The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide;
Above the world is stretched the sky
No higher than the soul is high.
The heart can push the sea and land
Farther away on either hand;
The soul can split the sky i'll two,
And let the fact of God shine through

Laymen Develop Church Giants

DR.. G. w. Day, Capitalist, be-
lieves business men will rally to
guidance of Methodist Church in
expenditure of millions.
The Centenary Campaign will
result in greater good to Method
ism and people tha many move
ment since Whitfield Is time. Pat
riotic postponement great bles-
sing. The psychological effect
good. Gave opportunity for
more cultural work. Many
Methodists are realizing. it is in
consistent to be loyal to govern
|ment, and patriotic citizen, and
not take a more active interest in
the great Centenary Movement
and Church work. The wise ex-
penditure of this thirty-fiye mil
lion dollars, as planned, means
that one hundred million more
will be at your disposal before the
five years have elapsed. Inter-
cessary prayer opens the treasure
house to both spiritual and tenn
poral possibilities and response
bilities. The ministry will have
at their. disposal thousands OF
awakened laymen, who'if proper
ly cultivated, will develop into
giants who will delight in doing
big things for their Lord and the
Church. New and imposing
temples Of worchip will replace
the old structures which in many
cases have been a disgrace to the
city or community. The Centen-
ary has been a blessing to me, and
those who have been inspired and
enthused.
The Centenary has been a bles-
sing already to many thousand
laymen in Florida, as it has been
to DR.. Day, and the spirit of it is
all pervading and fascinating
Perhaps not since Apostolic times
have the laymen Of the Church
shared with the clergy in
such wal in the responsibilities
and the honors of Christian
service. Among the many bles-
sings that Centenary will bring to
the Church, not one OF the least
will be more hearty cooperation

FLORIDA LEADS THE sOUT!
In Increase of Swine, Horses an,
Mules-Second in Increase of
Mich Cows.

Latest information from the U.
5. Dept. of Agr at Washington
shows that as far as agricultural /
| advancement is concerned in the
/ South Florida stands among the
leading states. In some respects,
she stands at the head Of the list. \
For instance, during the past 10 !
years, she has made the largest
percentage of increase in horses,
mules and swine, and the second
largest percentage of increase in
mileh cows, and fourth of other
cattle. When Florida stands at
the head of such list it is saying
a whole lots, for the work in these
other states has progressed rapid
( ly during this time.
| 1t is with the swine that we
have made our best recond, there
being S6.7 per cent. increase in
1919 over 1910 The figures
show that there are 1877 thousand
more hogs in the state now thang
a year ago. An outstanding feats
ure is that there is such a large
percentage Of increase of pure
bred swine. During 1918 there
was a 1884 per cent. increase OF
purebred swine in 27 counties Of
| the state.
The percentage Of increase 1917
over 1910 for horses was 34.S;
mules, 52.2; milch cows 2S.4;
other cattle, 2S.4.
Considering the conditions IN
the South in the past few years,
may we not say that the campaign
Tor Safe Farming in Florida has
made distinct progress?
Dean P. HI. Rolls of the Florida
Experiment Station expresses the
belief that this splendid advance
ment that has been made in the
last 10 years is only a forerunner
OF what will be done in the next
10 years. Florida of all states IN
the Union has the largest percent
age of available farm lands un,
occupied With the splendld
worok that is being done by the
swine breeders and cattle ralsers
of the State, there can be ~
question as to Florida becompg
one of the most important mea'
producing state in the South. \

EFFORT TO Be MADE
FOR COMPROMISE ON
COUNTY ASSESSMENT
County Tax Supervisors Invite Rep
resentatiye Of State Board to Meet
With Them on Saturday.

Mason County's Board Of Tax Su-
pervisors were In session at the Office
of the County Assessor practically all
day Monday discussing the proper
steps that should be taken. Some Of
the members seemed to be in favor Of
resigning and leaving the matter up to
the State Tax Board while others ia
vored making some increase and then
certifying the increase to the State
Board.
After considerable discussion 1t was
finally agreed that the board adjourn
until next Saturday morning when a
representative Of the State Tax Com
mission will be invited to come to
Maysville to confer with the board. At
this meeting the board hopes to reach
compromise with the State Board and
instead of increasing the county's as
sessment two and a half millions of
dollars as requested by the State
Board, increase it probably half that
amount.
If this arrangement can be agreed
on it is likely that the basis of in
creases will be 10 per cent. on farm
lands and per cent on town lots.
The Board members seem to want to
do what is best for the county and yet
they do not want to throw too much
expense on the county and want to es-
cape the expense of having the State
Commission make the assessment
which would probably be quite large.

ALLIES ARE UNITED ON The
PEACE Terms, PREMIER SAYS
David LlOyd.George in Statement 10
Parliament Says That Amerla and
England as Well us All Other
Allies Are Agreed on
Terms.

London, April 16-There Is complete
understanding on fundamental ques-
tions of the peace settlement, Premier
David Lloyd-George declared in ad-
dressing Parliament this afternoon
He said 1t Is not true that America
and Europe are at variance.
Pointing out difficulties of effecting
peace, the premier said a complete
breaking up is threatened in Russia,
Austria and Turkey.
There Is no authority throughout
Russia" he said. "The question Of
recognition of the Soviet government
never has been proposed or discuss
ed"
Lloyd George declared amidst an
outburst of cheering that the indem-
nifty Twill be no easy one"
I'VE do not despair Of the Russian
situation" said Lloyd George.
Aitnough the Bolsheyik forces are
growing, Bolshevism, is waning. We
are supplying the countries border
ing Russia with means Of resisting
the invasion of Bolshevism."
The British Premier was admitted
by his friends to be facing the great
est crisis in his political career to-
day.
The Conservative Parliament fears
the premier has permitted President
Wilson to overrule him regarding re-
parations. The coalition undoubted-
ly won the recent elections on the
slogan, Make the Germans Pay. 1t
is certain there will be dissatisfaction
in influential circles unless Great
Britain obtains substantial share of
the indemnities.

IDENTITY OF THE
ESCAPED CONVICT
IS ESTABLISHED
Grover Morgan Arrested at Dover and
Locked In jail VIII Be Taken to
State Penitentlary This
Afternoon.

The identity of Grover Morgan, es-
capped convict, was absolutely estab-
lished today by police officials al
though the man still contends that he
is not Grover Morgan and that his
name is James Woodward and his
home is in North Carolina. A photo
graph from the Rogues' Gallery at the
State Prison was rlaced before him to-
day, however by Chief Ort and sever
al persons who knew Morgan well
called at the Jail during the day and
identified the man absolutely
Chief Ort wired to the State Peni-
tentiary telling them that he had Nor
gan under arrest here and the Warden
replied Immediately telling him to
deliver the man to the penitentiary at
the earliest possible time. He will be
taken to Frankfort this afternoon and
again put behind the bars.
Morgan escaped from Prisoners
Road Camp in Bell county, KY, on
May 30th, 1918, and has been at large
since. From papers taken from him
and from his own statement it is
learned that he has spent the most of
that time in North Carolina. In that
state he registered under the army
draft giving the name of James Wood
ward and he has used that name as an
alias since that time.
Although Morgan denies his iden-
tity, he remarked to one Of the pris-
oners in the Jail this morning,
They've got me sure" The examina-
ton Chief Ort put the man through
today dispells any doubt but that thi.
is the escaped convict He has all of
the scars and marks of Morgan and
there can be no doubt that he is the
man.
1t seems strange that Morgan
should wander back to the section of
the country where he was caught be-
fore and commit the same sort Of rob-
berry for which he was first convicted.
1t will be remembered that he was
first convicted when he was under age
and that he served time in the State
Reform School at Greendale and then
later was convicted of robbery in
Bourbon county, escaping from the
Paris Jail and being arrested here
and returned.
There Is reward of one hundred
dollars offered for the arrest of Nor
gan and this reward money will be
given to Mr.. w. H. Thomas. marsha
of the town of Dover who placed the
man under arrest Monday evening at
the request of Bracken county author
tiles.
| Morgan is an all round bad man
and the State Penitentiary authorities
are very much pleased that they have
picked him up again.
