FRIENDS REGRET
"PAPS" DEPARTURE
MR.. 7. P. INGRAM RETURNS TO
"OLD KENTUCK" AFTER AN
NUAL VISIT TO DAWSON.

Friends OF Mr.. J. P. Pap In
gram sent The News for publica-
ton the following expression OF their
admiration for him and regret that he
has returned to his Kentucky home
after his usual winter visit to Daw-
son:
1t is with much regret that the peo-
pie of Dawson and Terrell county
| are deprived OF the genial smile OF
Pap" Ingram, who has returned to
his Kentucky home,
This genial 'hill-billy" has been
coming to Dawson rs years, and has
made many friends all over this sec
ton of the state. He is a big hearted
gentleman, full of jokes, and furnishes
humor in all kinds of conversation and
on any subject that may arise.
Although many of his jokes have
long since gone to the bone yard" of
antiquity and may not provoke laugh
ter among his hearers they, however,
seem to be enjoyed by himself; yet,
we enjoy them in a way, as it seems
to please him most emphatically, as
many people love to hear their own
voices.
To say that we will miss him is but
mild expression of our feelings. He
| is what the stock dealer calls a COM
| bnation horse-works little every
where, but very little anywhere. He
works from the whist table to the
front pews of the different churches.
He is a chronic whist player, often
doing without meals and even neg
lects social and business affairs to play
;c+ nj he N1o CT
most of the time does not necessarily
game. He is what the whist player
have sneak in his hand he cries out
aloud and says he has poor hand,
and generally he gets beat. When at
tending the picture show the first
thing he looks for when the curtain
rises is a sneak. If he can't find a
sneak he looks for short suit.
His latest tactic is Church going"
1t is rumored he has recently attended
all the churches and Sunday schools,
having recently joined the Methodist
and Baptist schools on the idea, to
him, that if one church would do him
good two would be better. He did not
have a chance to join the Presbyterian
school on account of the preacher hav-
ing several charges, and could not at
tend at the proper time. 1t is general
ly predicted that he will join every
church that will take him in
AS previously stated, he is a big
hearted gentleman, and deserves the
respect and confidence of the people
where he lives. May his life be pro-
longed with many happy whist and
church days. We will continue to
look forward to his usual winter
return to Dawson, his happy joking
ground. HIS PALS.

ventor named Chilowosky, whose
ideas proved Ruthless" said the paper.

SHORT ON PREACHERS

Nashville, Tenn.-The Southern
Methodist church is short 1000
preachers and is calling for hum
dreds of volunteers to become mis-
sionaries and trained church work
ers in order that the needs of the
local church and the mission fields
be supplied it is announced by the
Christian education movement Of
the Methodist Episcopa church,
South.
In addition to the shortage of
ministers and missionaries, it is
said that the educational institutions
of the church are badly crippled on
account of insufficient funds to
make necessary improvements in
building and equipment and to assist
worthy students to obtain education
al advantages.
Leaders here say that it is in or
der to meet this situation that the
Christian education movement was
organized. This movement has the
right of way throughout the church
over all other causes. For the past
year a program of cultivation and
education has been in progress. Lead
ing men in both Church and State
have devoted much time to speaking
in behalf of the movement, and 10.
cal churchmen have kept the cause
actively before the people in their
communities.
The climax of the Christian edu-
cation movement will be reached
May 29June S when a simultaneous
drive for funds will be made thru
out the Church. The amount sought
is s33, 100000. It is said that this
amount will put the 81 schools anG
college on a permanent foundation
and will provide a million-dollar aid
fund to assist worthy students who
wish to enter the ministry and othe,
forms Of Christian service.

TREASURY TO PAY
DEFICIT OF THE ROADS

Washington, May 14.-Unless
come way is found to increase reve-
1aes and reduce expenses, the rail
road deficit twill have to be met
from the national treasury Chair
man Cunrmins, of the senate inter-
s.a.c commerce committee, declared
today a hearings on the general rail-
road situation.
The chairman's statement was
made at the CONCLUSION Of colloquy
with Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman
of the board of the Southern Pacific
Company, concerning the operation
of the transportation act. Replying
to a question by Senator Cummins,
Mr. Kruttschnitt said the act itself
could not be considered a failure,
but that conditions had prevented
the railroads from enjoying as great
revenues as congress contemplated
giving tenn under the S 1-2 per cent
return on capital clause.
Chairman CumminS said. that the
total loss sustained by the govern
ment during twenty six months OF
lis control of railroads, was estima-
ted by the Director General of the
administration Of $1,200,O000O0.
Considering railroad claims conflict
ing with the government the chair
man, said, the total amount rose to
$2,5u0, 100000, and he gave as his
own estimate $1,sOo,000,O00, as the
dnal loss which the government was
6kely to sustain.
'"That situation challenges the per
uiauency of private ownership" he
declared.
Julius Kruttschnit,t chairman of
che board of Southern Pacific, who
was on the stand, said the greatest
cause of the growing claims was the
neglect on maintenance which char
acterized the federal administra-
&ion."
Washington, May 14.-Sums ex-
pended for railway operating ex-
penses and taxes from 1917 to 1920
inclusive, were submitted to the sem
ate interstate commerce commission

Pacific, who appeared for conclu-
sion of his cross-examination in
connection with the committees in
quiry into the railroad situation in
the country.

the railroad, according to. the table,
rose from $3,O4s, 100000 in 1917

different" He said the former presi-
dent had promised that upon his re-
turn he would place "the entire
power of the government behind the
