So intense was the heat that the
plate glass windows on the opposite

the paint cooked. The Enterprise

PASTOR ACCEPTS
CENTRAL PULPIT
DR.. II. t. Brookshire, OF
Oglethorpe, To Come
Here

Rev. H. T. Brookshire, pastor OF
the Baptist church at Oglethorpe, has
formally accepted the call to the
Central Baptist pastorate in Am
ericus, and will arrive early in the
week to formulate his plans for serv-
ing the congregation here.
The call was extended DIR. Brook
shire seevral weeks ago by the pull
pit committee of Central Baptist
church, which has been receiving his
careful attention.
A graduate of Mercer University,
he was one of the brightest members
of his class, and is said to show a
decision of character and purpose
seldom found in men of his youthful
years. Having been a student all
his life, he has gained a wide knowl-
edge of classical literature, to which
has been added a fountain of theolog-
ical research. DIR. Brookshire, though
comparatively young in the ministry,
is preacher of ability and force
fulness, and is well known by mem
bers of Central Baptist congrega-
ton here. He has been serving the
church at Oglethorpe since his grad
uation, and regret is expressed at
his departure from that field of serv-
ice.
Having lived his boyhood in or
near Gainesville, he brings to Ameri-
Gus some of the sturdiness which
characterizes the people of the north
ern part of the state.

COCDELL MADE
OIL INSPECTOR
FOR TWO YEARS
Commission Arrives,
Dating From Coming
an.

Alton Cogdell, q member of the
firm of Gatewood and Cogdell, one
of the younger business men of the
city. has been appointed state oil
inspector for Sumter county, sue
ceeding ] e. Hightower, whose term
of appointment expired October L,
but who is still holding the place.
Mr.. Cogdell received his commission
from J. j. Brown, state commission
er of agriculture, this morning, ac-
companied by the following letter:
''Mr. Alton Cogdell, Americas, a.
Dear Sir: / take pleasure in hand
ing to you herewith your commits
sion as oil Inspector to continue in
force from January /, 1921, to Oc-
tober l, 1922.
Trusting that our business rela-
tions may be mutually pleasant and
assuring you of my full co-opera-
tion in the discharge of your official
duties, / am, with best wishes and the
usual courtesies of the season, yours
very truly.
"J. ]. BROWN,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Mr.. Hightower, the retiring in
spector, has held the office for the
last four years, first being appoint
ed for two years by Commissioner
Price and then being reappointed
by Commissioner Brown. He was
candidate for reappointment at this
time, and Mr.. Cogdell was also ac-
lively a candidate for the place.
Both had friends busy in their be-
half and because of the rivalry for
the position the appointment had
been held up for some time, al
though similar offices in other coun-
ties had been filled for some weeks.
TIL change in the state administra-
ton is regarded as having had con-
siderable influence on the appoint
ment, Mr.. Cogdell having been ac-
lively engaged in support of the win
ming ticket, while Mr.. Hightower did
not actively Participate in the con-
test.
