EPISCOPALIANS
HERE over TOP
IN GREAT DRIVE
Quota Passed, Is Word,
But Figures Are Yet
Lacking
By Official Reporter.

The drive in the interest of the
nationwide Episcopal campaign was
wonderful success so far as the
Americus church was concerned. Ev-
cry member of the church was Wis
tied yesterday afternoon with the re-
suit that the quota was oversubscrib-
ed. The exact figures could not be
given as several cards have yet to
heard from but it was declared safe
to say that the subscriptions will
far exceed the amount asked for.
The campaigns success from the
spiritual standpoint cannot be esti-
mated. The meetings which were
held by the different groups have re-
suited in renewed interest in the
church and all it's activities.
AS soon as the final figures of
the drive are completed a report will
be published The rector of the
church, the chairman of the commit
tee and the group leaders wish to
thank the congregation for their lib
eral support and cooperation in the
greatest task our church has ever
undertaken.

PLAN LAUNCHED
FOR COMMUNITY
CAROLSANDTREE
Miss Ella Polk Under
takes Christmas Ino-
vation Here

A community Christmas tree on
Christmas Eve, with community
caroling, will be an innovation in
Americus this year, if plans which
have been put under way by Miss
Ella Polk, director of music in the
Americus public schools, and which
have been taken up by various or
CARNATIONS and interests in the city,
mature as they are expected to do.
Miss Polk yesterday visited several
of the Sunday schools of the city and
in brief talks outlined her plans and
asked that each Sunday school ap-
point committee of three to meet
with her at the Chamber of Com
merce headquarters at $3.50 o'clock
on Friday afternoon of this week, at
which time she will explain her plans
in detail as to the caroling, and ask
them to determine whether they de-
sire to carry out the idea of having
a community Christmas tree as well.
It is understood these committees
were named and will be at the meet
ing Friday.
Already the Americas Woman's
Club has acted on the plan present
ed by Miss Polk and enthusiastically
endorsed it. The idea is to come up
for endorsement before the other
women's club of the city at their
next meetings, and it is expected also
that the Rotary Club, the Shrine
Club, the Chamber of Commerce and
other organizations in the city will
lend their aid and endorsement to
the movement.
Miss Polk is already at work to
make the caroling success. She is
now teaching the various Christmas
songs in the public schools, and has
invited the various church choirs OF
the city to meet her at appointed
times to rehearse the same songs.
The songs to be used are "Holy
Night" 90, Come, All Ye Faithful, P"
''Little Town of Bethlehem" "Hark,
the Herald Angels Sing" and Joy to
the World"

$4,000 Is PAID
FOR HIXON FARM
OF sos ACRES
Brown Hodges Adds
Fine Tract To Home
Plantation

One of the biggest farm deals ever
recorded in this section took place
Saturday, it became known TODAY
when Judge ]. A. Hixon sold his sos
acre farm, about s miles northeast of
the city, to Brown Hodges, for con-
sideration of $4,000. The price is
slightly under $14O per acre.
1--WE made the deal in lust one
hour" said Judge Hixon today in
confirming the report of the sale.
Il decided that 1 would quit doing
two mems work from this time for
ward, and would get out of the farm
ing business and devote myself en-
tirely to law. When I get back into
the farming game Pm going to quit
law; no more mixing of the two"
The Hixon farm, which the owner
has affectionately called poverty
bill, has been owned by him for %
years. 1t was considered one of the
poorest pieces of soil in Sumter coun-
ty at the time he secured it. But
careful cultivation, with the aim of
building up the land, developed it
into one of the very best producers in
Southwest Georgia. 1t is known far
and wide as practically a garden.
Judge Hixon has spent a great deal
of money in developing the land, but
says that it has paid him well.
The farm lies adjoining the large
home tract owned by Mr.. Hodges,
and will give him one of the largest
and finest plantations in this section.
Several other real estate transac-
tions were reported today. The N.
B. Stewart farm of 200 acres, lying
3 miles from Americas on the Leslie
road, has been sold by ]. H. Purvis
to Cliff Morgan, for a consideration
Of $22,5O0, or $112.50 per acre. This
Is an excellent farm, and it is Mr..
MOrgan's intention to improve it fur
ther and make it his home. 7
Mr.. Purvis has also sold for the
Hooks Motor Company the Tomlin
son house and lot on Fielder street,
now occupied by ]. c. Barfeld, to u.
B. Price, of Flowery Branch, Gh.,
for $4,000, possession to be given
Jan. /. Mr.. Price is travelling sales
man and will make his headquarters
here.
Mr.. Purvis has sold for John Shelf |
field to Emmett Miller the Jackson |
avenue residence property now occu-
pied by Walter Cranberry, possession
to be given January /. The price
was $4,000.

President Defeats
Break With Mexico
Advises Against Action
And Fall Resolution Is
Dropped

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-(By AS
sociated Press President Wilson
today prepared letter on the Mexi-
can situation for transmission to
Senator Fall, of New Mexico. This
announcement was made at the
White House after the senate foreign
relations committee had met and ad-
journed to await the communication
from the President before giving fur
ther consideration to Senator Falls
resolution proposing the severance of
diplomatic relations with Mexico.
The President would be "gravely
concerned to see any such resolution
pass congress-" he wrote Senator
Fall, referring to the senator's reso-
luton proposing severance of rela-
tions. SIT would constitute rever-
sal of our constitutional practice
which might lead to very grave con-
fusion in regard to the guidance of
our foreign affairs" he wrote.
Senator Lodge called Senators
Fall and Brandegee into conference,
and a few minutes later announced
that no further action would be TAX
en- by the committee. He said the
responsibility for the Mexican situa-
ton now is upon the President S
shoulders.

nal the questions as to whether deliv-
cry of tonnage demanded will Grip
pie Germany, it is understood. The
understanding is that other features
most Objectionable to Germany have

The final paragraph of the prococol

becomes effective the Allies might use
military measures of coercion to en-
sure the execution of the treaty
terms, has been eliminated entirely,
as also has the clause relating to the
evacuation of the Baltic provinces by
German troops.
