AMERICUS METHODISTS OFFER TO
BUILD FINE DISTRICT PARSONAGE
Reasons Why Americus Should be Made Home of
Presiding Elder Pointed Out
To Committee

After quoting the above figures
Mr. Furlow said:
Il am authorized by our local
chairman to say that if we are award
ed the district parsonage, we will buy
a lot on one of the very best resi-
dence streets, and biuld thereon one
Of the best-one of the most modern
parsonages in the entire South"
Among others called on and who
responded were Rev. H. c. Jones, of
Blakely, who said that if Blakely
was awarded the parsonage Blakely
would buy the best lot, build the best
house in the district, apd then fur
nish the presiding elder with an au-
t, mobile, with hams, shoulders and
''yellow-legged' chickens for his ia
Bile.
Rev. Charles Cook, of Ellaville,
said that he was interested only in
that the parsonage should be located
at the best place; Rev. Silas Johnson,
of Lee Street Methodist church, said
that he felt that Americus was the
BEST place. Rev. j. E. Summer, of
Parrott, and Mrs. Freeman, of Bluff
ton. did not commit themselves IN
their remarks. R. S. Pryor, of Lee
county, favored Americas.
Time to Move 1t.
Neill A. Ray, chairman of the Sum-
ter county commissioners, said Daw-
son had had the parsonage for 10
years, that he helped put it at Daw-
son, but now cit is time to move it to
Americus"
In concluding the program Mr..
Council said 1--WE want the parson-
age here, gentlemen; we won't be
little and small about building it,
either. We will select the best lot
on the best street, employ the smart
est architect in the land and biuld
a home for the presiding elder that
he will be proud of home that will
be modern 20 or 80 years hence; a
home with library, baths, living
rooms, and everything else that goes
toward making a modern comfort
able home"

With forty or fifty present al
luncheon at the Windsor Hotel Fri
day, Americus Methodists gave many
reasons why the district parsonage OF
the Methodist church should be built
in this city. A number of the com
mittee of 21 which have the matter
in charge were present to hear these
arguments.
As chairman Of the meeting L. G.
Council welcomed the out-oftown
guests, saying in part:
I'VE have here in Americus and
Sumter county one of the best and
most beautiful home centers in the
South; to my mind this is the. most
wonderful agricultural section of
our country. We, of Americas are
thoroughly alive and are trying to
grasp every good thing and bring it
to Americus We have one Of the
livest trade bodies in the country
the Americus Chamber of Com
merce; we have two wonderfully pro-
gressive clubs-the Rotary and XII
wants. Our churches and schools are
as good or better than any in any
other section 1t is unnecessary for
me to tell you that we want the dis
trict parsonage located here. We be-
lieve we are entitled to it, but, gen.
tlemen, we do not want it unless we
are-unless we can get it fairly and
honestly. And, further, | can assure
you, that if we do not get it, we will
do our part toward helping the town
that does get it."
Advantages Here.
Mr.. Council then referred to the
splendid railroad schedules into and
cut Of Americus, to the agricultural
school that will educate the children
Of the presiding elder; and the hard
surfaced roads being built over the
county. He then introduced Judge
]. A. Lang, of Dawson, chairman of
the committee of 21, who said;
This seems to be day of capitol
removal as it were-you are trying
to take the district conference capi-
tol away from Dawson. But it seems
to me that you have gotten the cart
before the horse-you are making
speeches to the jury before the evil
dence is in. You are enterprisinf
here in Americus. You have called
a meeting before the chairman had
chance to move. But we of Dawson
want to keep the parsonage there;
however, on the same terms you have
made, Mr.. Chairman-that is, if we
are honestly entitled to it. We don't
want it unless we are.
Judge Lang then gave several rea-
sons why the parsonage should not
be moved from Dawson. He thanked
the Americas men for the delightful
luncheon and other entertainment ac-
corded the visitors.
T. NJ. Furlow, of the Board OF
Stewards of the Lee Street church,
was next introduced by the chairman.
MIR. Furlow furnished the following
very interesting and pertinent fig
ures, stating, however, that these fig
ures do not include two churches
that are in the county, but which are
served from an adjoining county.

The figures are taken from the Of

Farm Complaints

You say the menace revealed by
replies of the farmers to the Post
Office Departments questions has ex-
listed and would have been disclosed at
any time by similar process of q%uesti-
oning for a hundred years.
There is nothing in the past to COM
pare with the present. This is the
first World War, and this is the first
time great nations vel expected to
make up the waste of a war by slack
ing up and working less and produc-
ing less of the things we all need to
get.
Nature is so arranged that some of
the things we need the most are the
hardest things to produce. To produce
milk, cream, butter, eggs and pork re-
quire great care and effort, and men
great or small can't change it. 1t re-
quires twelve hours every day of the
whole year. No person ever ate any of
the food mentioned above that "a pro-
duced on an eight hour day OF a forty
four hour week.
Today the farmer wants to know
who has a higher calling or a more
important work than the work of feed
ing the people. He wants to know
why it is that it is his duty to work
twelve hours a day while the greater
majority enjoy an eight hour day and
a half holidays on Saturdays. He
wants to know why his wife, in addi-
ton to her homework, should be oblig-
ed to help out of doors. feeding chick
ems and pigs, while big strong men
have easy jobs with school hours from
nine to four, with a recess in between.
He wants all the workers in the
country to know that if the farmers
enjoyed as much idle time as they en-
joy all the city people would be crying
for food even if their pockets were
bursting with inflated currency.
He wants to warn the people that
one man on a farm can't feed the
world. He can't get help, for he
can't offer eight hours OF half holt
days. God made this impossible when
he created animals. He wants to warn
that it is time for sober thought.
There is only n seedtime and har-
vest. If we let it go past we have to
wait a whole year. A nation that is
not fed will go up in smoke.

jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 10, 1920.
Brother Summerill:-
Perhaps | can give you a few items
of interest to the many readers OF the
Record. Jacksonville is the Mecca for
tourists from the North, South, East
and West. They stay here for a week
or two, then pass to other towns on
the east and west coasts of Florida.
However, others come as soon as some
90. and jacksonville seems to be we'll
filled all the time.
There is something going on here
TO interest all classes of society. l am
told that the movies and theatres are
well ~patronized seven days IN the
week. We have steamboats, making
excursions up St. Johns V seven
DAYS a week. The boat leaving at III
A. NJ. stops at the old home OF Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, the famous writer
and author OF "Uncle Toms CABIN"
We not only have these worldly
amusements to please the lovers OF
pleasure, but have many Protestant
Churches which are well filled with
large congregations and good speak
ers Tor them. Wife and | have wor-
Skinned in many of the Churches. At
the present time and for three weeks
Charley Taylor, the famous boy a
gelist, is holding a revival meeting In
one of the large Baptist Churches.
He came came last Sunday. met
him in Homing Park. He said: "Hel-
10 Penns Grove" The Church has
been crowded to its capacity and hum
dreds turned away.
1t was interesting to hear Charley
tell his experience working on a sub
marine two weeks in a California ship
yard during the wal. His foreman
set him driving rivets which ne knew
nothing about. He divided his SER
mon Sunday night into three parts.
First, rivets represented sinners.
Second, the hammer represented
Christians.
Third, the ship represented the
Church. 1t was certainly we'll pre-
sented. His father is with him and

saws that his family now consists OF
eleven children, an increase of one
since he left Penns Grove.
