MILLION DOLLARS
FOR EDUCATION
Southern Methodists Accept Figure
AS Quota.-Columbia Woman
Succeeds Late Husband as
Conference Treasurer

Union, Nov. 6.-The Upper South
Carolina conference, Methodist Epis-
copal church, South, here today
adopted resolution fixing the sum
of 1,O00,O65 as it's quota in the edu-
cational drive of the Southern Meth
odists.
Mrs. ]. Fuller Lyon, of Columbia,
was appointed conference treasurer,
to succeed her late husband, J. Full
ler Lyon, whose death occurred in
Columbia last night and who for the
past 80 years was treasurer of the
conference.
The conference upon assembling
tonight reached high tide in the dis
cussicn of Christian education. The
past two days have been largely de-
voted to discussions of that subject
The report was read by the Rev. L.
E. Virgins and definitely committed
the conference to the program
which sets the goal at $1,OOO,O65 for
the Upper South Carolina confer
ence. After the report was read a
series Pf stereopticon slides >were
shown by DR.. j. S. Chadwick, pub
licity director of the religious press.
The pictures were reproductions of
Methodist schools throughout the
bounds of the Southern church. AS
the pictures were shown, DR.. Chad
wick spoke interestingly, giving
many facts and figures of education
as developed by Methodists. He was
followed by Bishop U. v. W. Darling
ton, who pleaded earnestly and con-
cinvingly for the program of ,educa-
ton planned. "If we neglect this
opportunity, God only knows what is
to become of us. Methodism is fight
ing for it's life as the nation is fight
ing for it's life. The great seething
sea of selfshness and greed revealed
in the materialism Of the present
makes it imperative that we go for
ward. We must give the world a
clearer and purer vision" +

WELL ENOUGH ALONE,
THINKS GOVERNMENT

Washington, Nov. 7.-Commodity
prices have indicated such a down.
ward trend that the department of
justice els largely content to let the
downward trend carry on by its own
momentum" according to a state
ment tonight by Howard FSgg, spe-
cial assistant in charge of the work
and who has resigned, effective No
vember Is.
"The department feels that its
sane policy of steady pressure is
indicated by the results achieved"
Mr.. Figg said, "asd announces that
it's action will continue along this
line, to get business or readjust it
self in accordance with popular
necessity, but avoiding endangering
the underlying sound prosperity of
the nation.
"It is significant that practically
all items entering into the cost of
living which are not controlled by
the Lever law have continued to ad-
vance in price. Despite this fact, the
general cost of living is declining
because of the market decrease in
the controlled items. The commodity
market will continue to show a de-
cline and it is only with a full CO.
operation of all business that this
decline may be stopped at a point
that will guarantee stability to busi-
ness interests"

PREP AIRING FOR =
BASEBALL HERE
Survey of Material Indi-
Gates Men For Fast
Team Already Here

Americus baseball enthusiasts are
preparing to have a team here this
summer, and a meeting of fans will
likely be called for Tuesday of next
week at which a manager will be
selected and other details of the sea-
sons schedule arranged.
The sentiment seems overwhelm-
lngly favorable to amateur ball, and
survey of local men shows there is
splendid material here for the or
ganization of fast team. Thos. l..
Bell, who was manager Of Americus'
amateur ball teams during a num-
Der of ysars, said today he stood
back of the movement with his money
and his old time enthusiasm, but that
his business affairs would not per-
nit him to manage the team. Brad
ley Hogg, wo has years of expert
ence in professional baseball, and
who is well acquainted in this sec
ton, is also. mentioned as manager
of the team, and it is likely he will
be asked to look after it's affairs.
Players available include Tommy
Hooks, veteran of the old Invinci-
ble,' John MOnohan, who has play
ed several years on local and neigh
boring diamonds; Robert G. Lane,
former college star; John Wheatley,
who once wore the Red and Black
of Georgia; Dan Chappell; Jeff Nc
Cleskey, old professional ball tosser;
Sam Dedman, A E. F. veteran;
Red Mcmillan, Frank Webb, Viii
lie Parsons, Barney Ball, Tony PAN
tone and Hogg, who may manage the
team.
Those behind the movement are
anxious that the fans here express
themselves on the prospects of bali
here this summer as all of the men
necessary are now here and available,
where delay of any length may re-
suit in many of them being grab
bed off" by neighboring towns, a
number of which are said to be al
ready securing the woods for fast
amateur players.
And if you want to see baseball
here this summer prepare to attend
the meeting when it is called.

WALKER QUITS
TO MAKE RACE
Brother of Annericus
Woman To Begin Cam
paign For Governor

ATLANTA, April 1.--Clifford
Walker resigned yesterday as at
torney general of Gereral of Geor-
gia in order to devote his time to
his campaign for governor, the resig-
nation to take effect April 30. On
accepting Mr.. Walkers resignation,
Governor Dorsey Immediately issued
an order appointing R. A. Denny, a
well-known Rome attorney, to sue
ceed him, the appointment effective
May 1.
The resignation of Mr.. Walker has
been expected for some time as was
the appointment of Mr.. Denny, which
the governor had announced would
be made when Mr. Walker resigned.
Attorney General Walker is a
brother of Mrs. Frank P. Harold, of
Americus and frequent visitor here,
where he has many friends. He was
elected attorney general of Georgia
in 1914, defeating Warren Grice,
an appointee of Governor John M.
Slaton, in the primary of that year.
In taking leave of his duties as at
torney general, Mr.. Walker thanks
the governor and all those associated
