BOTH SIDES WANT PEACE

London, Oct. II (By The Associated
Press) The British and Irish dele
gates pending resumption of the irish
conference tomorrow are considering
the question Of the alleged breaches
CT the truce in ireland and endeavor-
ing to devise means by which they
might be avoided during negotiations
looking to a settlement of the future
OF ireland.
A further proof Of this was in the
fact that most ol the days real talk
concerned alleged violations Of the
truce by both sides, and these allega-
tions were submitted and considered
in the utmost spirit Of fairness and
conciliation by both sides. The atti-
tude was that the heads on neither
side wanted any violations of the
truce on the part OF their partlsans,
and that if the allegations were
proved true they would take steps TO
bring their partisans into line. Con
sequently the main conference takes
holiday tomorrow while the inc yitable
experts take these questions of viola
items in hand

Bio FAIR FOR ABERDREN

A move wee started In the Cham
Der of Commerce at it's last meet
ing. which, if successfully carried
out, means much for Aberdeen, the
livestock industry and the agricul-
tural development of this section.
Mr.. E. B. Heller, secretary of the
Mississippi Duroc-Jersey Breeders
Association. proposed the re-estab-
blishing of the fair at Aberdeen un-
der the dual auspices of the Duroc-
Jersey Breeders Association and the
Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce.
He proposed to use the fair grounds
at Aberdeen and enlarge the scope
of operation so as to include all
of Missississippi and sections of
adjoining states.
Mr.. Heller's plans were warmly
espoused by the Chamber of Com
merce. which appointed a commit
tee to cooperate with the Breeders
Association in working out details
that would make the fair reality
at the earliest possible moment.
Raising of livestock, as we'll as
promotion of agricultural and do
mestic sciences and other matters
in which the people of this section
are interested, would be stimulated
by this fair. Every business, wheth-
er banking, mercantile or profess
sional, would be materially ben
efitted.
The proposed enterprise merits
the encouragement and financial
support of every enterprising citi-
zen OF the county, and The Weekly
offers the opinion that with the
cooperation of the different inter-
ests of the county. the fair will be
held next fall and will be a success.

ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL
ATTACK TELEPHONE GO.
Is Preparing to Submit to the
People Next November an In
iatiVe Statute. For Old Rate

A news special from Jackson to
the Memphis Commercial Appeal
last Tuesday says:
Dissatisfaction over the increase
in rates granted to the Cumberland
Telephone Company is generally
expressed throughout the state. The
city of Natchez will contest the in
crease on the ground that the con-
tract made by the city with the
Cumberland cannot be changed by
order of the commission. This is a
question which only concerns
Natchez. Cities of other counties
In the state are protesting on the
ground that they had certain con-
tracts giving them free service over
rural line connections and permit
ting an exchange call from any To-
cal exchange to any point in the
county without any additional
charge"
Aberdeen shares in this dissatis-
faction. especially the nullifyingsof
a contract which the city has with
the Cumberland Company. allow
ing service. without additional cost,
to phone subscribers oyer rural
lines. and permitting connections
with exchanges located in Monroe
county.
1t appears that the railroad COM
missioners have transcended it's
authority in presuming to make void
the conditions of a contract made
between city and the telephone
company, and it is stated that At
torney-General Frank Robertson is
formulating plans to attack the in
crease and is considering a plan to
submit to the people in November
next an initiative statute. restoring

more neighborly feeling between
the towns OF this immediate section
would be promoted. Rules govern
ing the games and fixing champion

a committe to be composed of one

CHURCHES SHOW GAINS

According to census. compiled
by the Christian Herald, and made
public this week hy DIR. III. K. Car
roll. of Plainfeld, N. J.. who gath
cred the statistics, there was marked
increases made in the churches OF
this country. A net gain of 667 900
new members was made in 1920.
marked increase over 1910. when
the aggregate number of members
gained was less than 44,0O0.
DR.. Carroll said in 1919 decreases
were shown in most of the churches.
He compared figures of some of the
larger groups showing that in 1919
the Methodist group lost 1881,
the Presbyterian group lost 46 ,459,
and the Baptist group lost 11.10S.
In 1920 these groups gained re-
spectivelly. 237. 1877; 43,O31. and
129, ,283. The three large Baptist
bodies, he said, have not yet COM
pleted their statistics, and it is be-
lieved that the actual figures will
show a gain of mors than $4,000
in the year. Baptisms in the south
ern Baptist church have reached
the unprecedented figure of 165, 900
with churches yet to be heard from.
The Roman Catholic showed a
somewhat smaller increase in 1920
of 1877 .579. Doubtless when i'm
migration sets in again, it was
pointed out. the increase will be
greater.
Notwithstanding the very en-
couraging returns in the number of
communicate" says DR.. Carroll,
losses continue in the number of
ministers and of churches in the
various denominations. There is a
net loss in the Methodist group,
and this decrease has been going
on for some time, apparently with.
out serious denominational notice.
The Methodist Episcopal church
lost 200 churches in 1920, and 228
in 1919. The loss of churches for
all denominations is $50 for 1920.
There is an increase in the ag-
gregate number of members. bat
many of the denomination report
losses, which are numerous among
the Lutheran. Presbyterian, Pres
byterian and Baptist bodies, and
heavy in the United Brethren
Church. The increase for 1920 is
and hard to understand.
