FIRST M. E. ASKS
.PASTOR'SRETURN
Also Commends .Retir-
ing Elder At Con
terence

At the quartely conference held
at the First Methodist church last
night by the presiding elder, Rev. O.
B. Chester, resolutions were adopted
commencing the presiding elder for
his work of four years on the eve
of his retirement, and also asking
the return for another period of the
present pastor, Rev. Guyton Fisher,
who has now been here two years.
At the conference the Sunday school
annual reorganization resulted in the
election of While Marshall as super
intendent and S. R. Heys as assist
ant.
Following are texts of two resolu-
tions passed unanimously by the con-
gregation:
I'VE urgently request our Presid-
ing Elder Rev. o. B. Chester, to use
his influence with the Bishop at the
next annaul conference to be held
during the next few days, to return
our beloved pastor, Rev. Guyton
Fisher, who is now finishing his sec
ond year with US. We feel that it
is to the best interest of the church
in every way that he be returned" "
"Whereas under the law of our
church, it appears that Rev. o. B.
Chester, who has had our love not
only as presiding elder, but as pas
tor in other days. is to sever the re-
lation he has sustained for the past
four years; and
whereas, in that capacity he has
filleh in an efficient manner the
place to which the bishop has con
secutively appointed him, dealing
wisely with every matter that came
under his direction, and delighting
our church in the meanwhile with
strong sermons and gracious demean-
or;
''Be it resolved, by this quarterly
conference, that we tender him our
sincerest appreciation for his inter
est and care, for every labor of love
and faith that has characterized his
ministry among us; assuring nm
wherever he is appointed out love
and prayers will accompany him and
his, and that congratulations are TO
be given to that charge where ms
next labors may lead him. (Signed)

Rules Consolidation
Election May Be Held

State School Superintendent Brit
tain has made ruling on Sumter
county rural school consolidation, the
result of which is the patrons of the
Williams school, who are agitating
the separation of that school from
the Thompson school, after six or
eight months of consolidation on the
order of the county board of edu-
cation, may now petition the board
for an election on the question. The
ruling provides, however, that the
patrons of both districts effected
participate in the election.
County Superintendent McMath
had ruled that, the consolidation hay
ing gone for so many months unpro-
tested, an election could not be held
at this late day to undo the school
work now we'll under way in the
combined district. Superintendent
Britain sustained this view as a
matter of strict right, but conclud-
ed that it would be better to have
the controversy settled at the polls,
provided the requisite one-fourth of
the patrons petition for an election
and both districts participate in the
voting.

Rules Stockholders
Names Be Returned

ATLANTA, Nov. 4.-Under an or
der of Fulton Superior court It is
not legal for a corporation to keep
secret from the county tax collector
the names of its shareholders and the
amount of shares held by each.

the Empire Oil company to compel
each of these submit a list of all their
shareholders in this city who are sub
ject to taxation on the stock held by
them, in order that these taxes may
be legally collected by the city.
Judge John T. Pendleton yester,-
day signed an order directing each
of these companies to supply the tax
office with the lists as desired on or
before November 20. The order fur-
ther provides that between the hours
of 9 and 8 o'clock on that day: the
companies file with the, clerk of the
Superior court all stock books or rec
ords to determine the accuracy OF
the names and holdings of the share
holders. It is understood the case

HOW BRITISH PRESS
VIEWS ELECTION,

FOREIGN 'PRESS-folo Election c
LONDON, Nov. 4.--Leading Brit
ish provincial papers consider the
election of Harding to be president
of the United States as an indication
that the electorate is tired of what
the journals call zone man rule, y
The Liverpool Post says, Harding
goes to the White House as a rep
resentative of the profound belief
that wisconsin is alien to American
traditions and that America should
not entangle herself in the affairs
of distracted Europe"
America intends to let the rest
of the world sink or swim as it may, "
said the Star.
"The United States is tired of
war, Europe the Versailles Treaty,
President Wilson and all that Presi-
dent Wilson represents. All Ger
mans and Irish enemies of England
represented the League of Nations
as an English dodge TO entrap the
United States And so participation
Of the great republic in the pacifi-
cation of the world is greatly delay
ed"
The Globe declared the election of
Senator Harding is a serious setback
to the supporters of the League OF
Nations. The Globe brands the
league as "a fine but futile concep-
ton" 1t adds: without Ameri-
ca the league has no authority at
all" The Globe welcomed the de-
feat of Governor Cox because, it de-
clared. Governor Cox was pledged
to Interfere in Irish affairs in a
way that England could not and
would not have brooked. The Globe
continued: "He Governor Cox
returns to obscurity. It is source
of satisfaction. His offer to med
die in our affairs proved tactical
mistake of such magnitude that he
suffered defeat unprecedented IN
American history"

Would Curtail Coal
Exports From u. S.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Limita-
tions on the exporting of coal to in
sure an adequate supply for home
industries, and to direct trade to
countries that are natural markets
for American coal and to those to
which American ships sail in ballast,
was advocated today by Secretary
of Commerce Alexander in discus
sion of the national coal export pol
icy. When conditions return to
normal, the secretary said, there is
little possibility of American produc-
ers obtaining a permanent foothold
in Europe and competing with the
mines of England, Germany and
France. For South America, how
ever, he declared the United States
is the logical and natural source of
supply.
