EIGHT ACRES COTTON
To PLOW FOR SAFETY
Commissioner Brown Declares This
Should Be The Maximum Acre
age to The Plow This Year

Georgia farmers are on the TIRES
hold of their biggest year, if they will
be careful and plant wisely, is the
opinion of Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, j. j. Brown.
The chief danger, in the Commits
sioner's opinion, lies in the planting
of too much cotton acreage, under
the stimulus of present prices.
Cotton planting this year should
be held close" Mr.. Brown stated.
81 believe every farmer should hold
it to not more than eight acres to the
pillow, and then plant early and cul-
tivate intensively In this way he
will accomplish two things. He will
beat the boil weevil and he will get
good price for his product.
"Over-planting is not only bound
to mean greater destruction by the
weevil, but it will have a tendency
to depress present prices just as soon
as it is known there is greater acre
age. And it will affect the price of
both the cotton remaining in the
hands of the producer and of the new
crop.
preparation of the ground is well
under way over practically the entire
State. The farmers everywhere are
getting ready for extremely early
planting in order to beat the weevil
Farm labor conditions have some.
what improved and with anything like
good seasons and careful attention tc
cultivation there is no reason why
Georgia should not have the best agri
cultural year in her history.
"Of food products we can moi
make too much. There is a world
wide demand for them at good prices
and the indications are this condition
will continue for several years tc
come. 1t is Georgia's opportunity
not only to repeat, but to improve
upon her 1919 food production Of
more than 100000.
81 feel that last year was unfavor
able in many sections of our State
for the saving Of seed oats for this
years crop, also, the large crops to be
gathered in other sections of the
State perhaps prevented farmers ir
those sections from planting as many
acres in oats as our needs demand
Consequently, I am urging that We
yet continue to sow spring oats II
all sections of Georgia where the same
can be sowed with the hope of pro
ducing reasonable crop, and I fee
that we can yet make good crop Of
spring oats from the extreme South
ern limit of the State to the Tennes

SUIT FOR $4,000
AGAINST CITY LOSES
Jury Finds For City In Case OF Sol
der Who Lost Life By
Touchink Live Wire

The City of Marietta and Col. J.
q. Foster, as the City's attorney, are
to be congratulated upon the verdict
of the jury in the United States Dis
trict Court in Atlanta last week, when
the suit of Mrs. Kraeger, of Penn
sylvania, against the city, of Marietta
was denied.
This is the case that arose out of
the death of young Kraeger, a sol
der at Blackjack Camp last year,
from coming in contact with a live
wire in the streets of Marietta.
kraeger, with two companions was
coming into the city from the camp
one evening just after rain and
wind storm, and seeing a wire hang
ing down, tried to throw it to one
side, although warned by one of his
companions that it might be a live
one.
His mother, who lived in another
state brought suit against the city
for 100000 in the federal court with
the result in favor of the defendant.
Col. Foster was employed by May
or Brumby as special counsel for the
city in the case, and he went very
thoroughly into the merits of the
claim, going once to the home of
young Kraeger in Pennsylvania, and
it is said that he found that the
mother who brought the suit was not
a dependent of her son by any means.
The testimony of witnesses at the
time of the accident left no doubt
that the deceased acted in a care
less manner which resulted in his
death.

METHoDISTS PREPARING TO
UNITE NORTH AND SOUTH

Merger of the northern and south
ern branches under a new constitu-
ton and assuming the name of the
Methodist church was agreed upon
by the commission of unifcation of
the Methodist Episcopal churches in
JOINT session at Louisville, XIV. The
recommendations, if adopted by the
general conference, would eliminate
the breach which came about nearly
seventy-five years ago over the slav-
cry question and which has kept the
approximately six million members
OF the northern and southern church
es at different differentials.
Included among the recommends
lions of the joint commission was a
proposal that the reunited church
have a supreme general council of
800 members chosen from the seven
regional conferences. Six of the re-
gional bodies would have approxi-
mately 100000 members each.
while the seventh would comprise the
negro membership of 100000. In
three of these conferences the north
ern branch would predominant and
southern congregations would con-
troll three others.
The northern church will vote on
the merger next May, it was said.
and if the merger is approved the
southern church will call a special
session to act on the proposal.

Hckson, Faith, Prayer and Healing
By Randolph r. Claiborne

to. They come from everywhere. No
one was urged, or invited to come.
The treatment was often less than a
minute. In all this crowd there was
the hush of earnestness and prayer,
though the moving to and from the
alter was constant. Only those who
"had need of healing" were admit
ted. There were a few immediate
cures. What gentleman would desire
the names of any to be published. 1t
is sacred matter.
Faker
Newspaper reporters can scent a
faker a long distance. | believe that
l could recognize one though thick
layer of canting hypocrisy. Webster
says: A faker is pretender; fraud
petty swindler. Did this man pre-
tend to what he was not? Did he de-
fraud any man? Did he swindle any,
one? The above report should be the
answer. For me it would be enough
to know that the past and present of
this man was carefully looked into
by the Church; and that then she put
her stamp of approval on his work.
The Church has never stood for any
thing that !. had to apologize for and
be- ashamed of. She does not stand
for fad nor fanaticism.
But some people cannot under
stand the unselfsh motive, and so
they would like to know about the
money part of it. The faker must
have the money motive. Now. / do
not know much about that: the Bis
hop did not mention it to me, nor
anyone else. But 1 saw in the paper
that there would be no collection
taken. But there would be a box!
But where? Surely it would be at
the front, and look in the face of the
people, and silently say: "Drop a
wheel in mel" Not so. The paper
said it would be at the basement en-
trance! Now there are two basement
entrances. To reach them, one must
go down an alley. Now, went down
this alley on one side in order to get
into the Church through the base
ment. / did not see the box. 1t must
have been on the other side behind
the garage. If anybody wanted to
make thank offering, he must search
that out! Ye gods And the proceeds
of this Offering will help pay Mr..
Hickson's expenses to Armenia where
he desires to go and help!
If that be fakerism, and if he be a
faker, then the word has changed its
meaning since the last issue of Webs
ter! And l pray that God will give
me the power to be a supreme faker;
and help me to serve Him, as l have
tried to do in my whole ministry,
land not without good result)
through the power of prayer and
faith in Him as the Giver and Restor-
er of life and health. If l did not
practice this which claim to believe,
| should consider myself faker-in-
chief
