GEORGIA BAPTISTS
SURE OF SUCCESS
LEADERS EXPRESS SATISFAC-
TON AT PROGRESS OF THE
SIS, ooO, 900 CAMPAIGN.

With October, the enlistment
month of the campaign, opening in
unexpected marks Of progress and
with the background of September's
remarkable record in organization
and interest, the leaders of the 70
million campaign, both from the CEN
trail office in Nashville and from the
Georgia headquarters in Atlanta, de-
clare that this state bids fair to go
to ten million dollars when the week
of canvass for funds arrives.
DIR. L. R. Scarborough, general di-
rector of the campaign for the South
ern Baptist Convention, has just
made a tour of the state and he has
expressed his delight with the prog
ress that he has met on every hand
in Georgia.
There are LOO churches organic
ed in Georgia. This represents the
work of the past two months of end
less effort to get the $4,000 Bap-
fists of Georgia organized for the
big movement. There are 81 associa-
tions organized and by the end of
this week it is expected that there
will be above 70.
October is enlistment month. This
is the month when the plan of the
campaign anticipates the definite de-
cision of thousands of heretofore in
active church members to take per-
manent part in the program of Chris
tan service. 1t is regarded as one
of the most significant periods of the
campaign.
There is an increased need for mis-
sionaries following the opening of so
many doors in Europe and Asia, and
young men and women in Georgia
are turning their faces to these world
opportunities of service. There is a
need for Christian doctors to carry
a message of healing and service and
young men from Georgia are asking
for appointment.
There is need for leaders in the
churches and during this month it is
expected that there will be several
thousand names added to the list of
Sunday school, B. Y. P. u, w. M. S.
and other church departmental or
carnations for the furtherance OF
the kingdom.
DR.. Arch C. Cree, state director
for Georgia, says he is pleased with
the response which has come to him
as the month of enlistment gets I'M
der way. He expresses the belief that
there will be a conservation OF HE
to the service of humanity among
Georgia Baptists this month that will
be epochal.
The money gorna outside the state
will be spent for Foreign and home
missions and certain southwide edu-
cational institutions and institutions
caring for the aged ministers of the
denomination.

ANTS HOPE OF A
WET" SPELL FADES
LIQUOR ENFORCEMENT NOW IN
HANDS OF PRESIDENT. MEAS
URE COVERS EVERYTHING.

WASHINGTON, D. enact
ment of the prohibition enforcement
bill, completed by congress with the
house adopting the conference re-
port, already agreed to by the senate,
has sounded the death knell for the
liquor traffic in the United States.
The bill becomes effective as soon as
signed by the president, or within
ten days after passage, should the
executives illness prevent him from
acting on it. simultaneously with the
presidents signature the war time en-
forcement section becomes effective.
This section, as well as the constitu-
tiopal enforcement portion, prohibits
the manufacture or sale of any Iq-
uor containing more than one-haf of
one per cent. of alcohol.
Anticipating attacks on the consti-
nationality of the war time and con-
stitutional prohibition enforcement
Legislation, Attorney General Pal
mer has been requested to pass on
the legality of the measure. His
opinion will be transmitted to the
white house before the bill becomes
law. Should Mr.. Palmer hold the
measure unconstitutional the bill
probably will be referred to the pres
ident for veto. Otherwise it may be
permitted to become a law without
tho eyecl1tivp'S SIGNATURE
Wartime Prohibition Stands.
Supporters of the liquor interests
in both the senate and the house now
have abandoned all hope of any re-
moval of the wartime ban upon llq-
uor before constitutional prohibition
becomes effective on Jan. 10, 1920.
Their only hope is that, in some way,
the courts may be forced to decide
that the power of congress to pre-
vent the sale of Intoxicating liquors
as wartime measure has ceased
with the actual termination of the
war. Every effort, it is asserted, will
be made to get a case before the
courts, but even then it is feared that
decision would not be returned IN
time to enable the saloons to reopen
and distillers to get rid of their sup
plies.
The illness, of the president has
complicated the situation for the hq-
uor men. Should he be unable to re-
sumo his duties as president and
should the vice president be called
to the chair the chances are that Mr..
Marshall, being from Indiana, a "dry
state" would be guided by the de-
cision of Attorney General Palmer
that wartime prohibition must con-
tinue until the ratification of the
treaty of peace between the United
States and Germany.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Sixty-fve
former soldiers and sailors have beer
appointed supervisors for the four,
teenth decennial census, according tc
an announcement issued today by
the bureau of census.
"The census bureau was particu-
larly glad whenever it found a form
err service man for the job of super

Census Sam L. Rogers. "Most of the
applicants who qualified, however,
were men of more mature age and
of broader experience than the ma
jority of soldiers and sailors"
Three women appear on the list of
supervisors, one having been appoint
ed to serve in the state of New York,
one in Texas and one in Nevada. This
is the first time in the history Of the
census bureau that women have been
selected to fill these positions.
Of the 372 supervisors chosen ap-
proximately 100 are lawyers. Ex-ser-

INTENDS TO DRIFT /
OVER NORTH POLE
DISCOVERER OF SOUTH POLE
TO MAKE FINAL DASH TO
TOP OF THE WORLD.

Bound for the north pole Ronald
Amundsen, Norwegian discoverer OF
the south pole, is at present drifting
in his ice locked schooner, the Maud,
somewhere north of western Siberia,
according to beliefs held by Vilhjal-
muir Stefansson, Canadian Arctic eX-
plorer.
In planning the trip Amundsen
said he expected after reaching the
pole to return either to Grant land,
west of Greenland, or Melville island,
which lies in the Arctic ocean, north
of Canada. Should he reach Melville
island he probably would journey by
sea to Nome, Alaska, or overland to
Dawson, Yukon territory.
May Use Aeroplanes.
Two aeroplanes, it is believed
formed part of the Maud's equipment
when she left Norway last summer,
and sailed through the White sea
bound for the icy north. The final
dash to the pole may be made in one
of the planes. Amundsen, it is be-
lieved, may also fly back to clvlllza-
ton in one of the machines.
Nothing has been heard from
Amundsen since Sept. l, 1918, more
than a year ago. At that time the
Maud was reported taking oil for her
motors at Dixson island, a White sea
point. After taking oil she salleo
northeast into the rapidly freezing
water of the Arctic ocean.
At the New Siberian islands, it was
believed, the drift would carry the
boat toward, if not across, the pole
Amundsen intended to use the aero,
planes if he found the drift would
not carry him across the ''top OF the
earth"

TYPHOID MARY, HEART
BROKEN, ASKS FREEDOM
ALLEGED NEW YORK DISEASE
CARRIER FEELS SHE HAS
BEEN WRONGED.

Mrs. Mary Mallon, known the
world over as Typhoid Mary" is
virtually a prisoner of the New York
health department and occupies a
cottage on North Brother island. She
insists that she is not and never has
been a typhoid carrier" and points
to the fact that she never has been
i'll in the As years of her life, except
during short period when physicians
tried to treat her with a serum for
the germ they say she carries. Mrs.
Mallon insists her life has been rum
ed and there's nothing for her to do
but sit around and wait to die. ,
In spite of her contention medical
records show that for nearly 20 years
Mrs. Mallon was followed by a wake
of typhoid, while she was earning a
living by cooking. All members OF
her family died from the disease and
manv others are said to have been
sent to early graves because of in
lection passed along by Typhoid
Mary"
Now a Laboratory Assistant.
During her years of freedom Mrs.
Mallon earned SIS month as cook.
Now she laments that if she had her
freedom she might be earning twice
that amount. She insists that there
is no typhoid on North Brother island
and that this is sufficient proof that
she is not a germ carrier. However,
she fails to take into consideration
that she is not cooking any 1000 on
the island and that the only food she
handles is what she eats.
During recent years Mrs. Mallon
has been working as laboratory as
sistant for the New York health de-
partment. She is earning as much
money as she did while cooking, put
she asserts money is no object to her
compared with liberty. She insists 1t
is not just that she should be a pris;;
oner. though she has never harmed
a person willingly in her life.
