 Maricopa. Pima and Cochise coun- ties. the three larges, in point of pop ulation in the state, are expected to furnish the avalanche Of votes that will swamp the measure and Yavapai will give her full quota. for these three counties will be in danger of the same fate of dismemberment, which. under the Van Dyke bill. may be voted upon them by a minority and over the protest Of the majority vote Of the county.

METHODISTS HELPING
 IN NEGRO EDUCATION

The board of missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, is discourage ing collections taken in local churches and at annual conferences in behalf Of the colored Methodist Episcopal Church.
 Tn commenting upon this attitude of the board the Alabama Christian Advo- cate states:
 The Centenary movement fs cohtrib- uting liberally to the work of the cole or@d Methodist Episcopal Church. and believes that this is the proper method to render this assistance Of course. there may be exceptional cases of spe- cial merit or great need when the old tune way of appeal may not be out of place, but as q rule the Advocate thinks the suggestion of the board of missions should be followed. Here is the reso- lution adopted:
 .'Whereas, our church is ow making contributions for negro work on scale hitherto unknown; and, whereas, we are investing many thousands of dollars for their extension work, educational work and missionary work; and where as, the custom of long standing among us of allowing negro preachers to take up collections at our annual conferences is a method of doubtful value busi- ness and in no sense worthy of us or
 of the c. M F. Church;
 ! "Therefore be 1t resolved by the board of missions of the M. F. Church. South in regular session, that we most 1 respectfully request our bishops to dis courage in every possible way the talk 1 ing of such collections and if such col i lections must be taken, the money be | turned over to the board in our church l that would naturally handle that fund | and dsburscd hyT that board and not | by the collector" hI
