WANTSCITY TO
SETTLEBIC BILL
Lighting Company SAYS
Suit Be Brought By
February Is

The Americas Lighting company
has notified the city through letter
read to the council at its regular
meeting Thursday night, that unless
its bill for standby electric service
at the pumping station for the entire
year 1920 is satisfactorily handled
by February 5 steps will be taken
to sue to collect it. The sum in
volved was not mentioned, but it
amounts to several thousand dollars.
Payment has been held up for long
time because of the rate being re-
ferred to the Georgia Railroad COM
mission for settlement. The COM
missions ruling was handed down a
few weeks ago, in the latter part of
1920, but was not retroactive. The
company announces its willingness to
accept the ruling as retroactive in
order to effect a settlement at once.
Another communication from the
Lighting company was read to the
council stating that it and the coun-
Gil committee had been unable to
agree on rate for street lighting
for 1921, and that the matter had
been referred to the state commission
for settlement. 1t was stated that
the company had reduced it's offer
to the city to the extent of wiping

out profit, preferring to do this in
order to preserve harmony, but that
1t would refuse to go any further in
its offers and must decline to accept
the city's proposal of renewing the
contract at the old rate, which was
established in 1915.
Chairman Mashburn. of the coun-
Gil committee, confirmed the failure
of agreement and the referring of
the dispute to the state commission.
The same committee was given
authority to sell at the best possible
advantage the electric compressor
and pump recently replaced in the
city's pumping plant. It was ex-
planned that an offer that would
bring nearly $4,000 for the machines
had been received.

is safe to say that the committee will
never think of the peanut hereafter
as small proposition.
Carver (proceeding) Nov, the
peanut milk has about the same
amount of curds that cows milk has,
and then curds can be taken out and
made into the various fancy cheeses
such as the Neufchatel and Edam.
Now, this is a pomade-a face cream,
just as soft and just as fine as the
famous almond cream, and it has
the quality of vanishing as soon as
it is put on. Then we have here n
bottle of ink. l find that the peanut
makes very fine quality of ink. And
then here is a bottle of mock oy3t-
tiers. The peanut curds can be made
into mock meat dishes so thoroughly
that it is impossible to tell them from
meat. We are going to use less and
less meat just as soon as science
touches these various vegetable pro-
ducts and teaches US how to use
them"
Congressman Carew: "Did you
make all of these products YOURSELF"
Carver: eyes sir; they are made
in the research laboratory lat Tuske-
gee.) The sweet potato products
number LOT to date. have not fin
ished working with them yet. The
peanut products are going to beat the
sweet potato products by far. have
just begun with the peanut. l have
with me a number of other things
produced from the peanut-probably
twenty-five or thirty others, includ-
ing various wood dyes and stains"
Of course, the witness described
the various uses Of the peanut
which are familiar to the general
public-the butter and the oils made
from it, and the many confections.
He also described peanut cake for
breakfast food, and a combination of
peanut meal and peanut hay" which
mixed with molasses and chinaber-
ries, makes valuable tonic food for
live stock. There seemed to be no
end to his magic. This was one of
his striking statements in conclusions:
eff we think of how the peanut
is used, it is the only thing that is
universally used among civilized and
uncivilized people, and all sorts of
animals like it. 1t is a natural diet
that was intended that everybody
should use"
Here Chairman Fordney asked
Prof. Carver what school he had at
tended.
"The last school I attended" re-
piled the witness "was the Agricul-
tural College of Iowa. You doubtless
remember Mr.. James Wilson, who
served in the cabinet here so long.
He was my instructor for six years"
Congressman Carew: "You have
rendered the committee a great serv-
ice"
Congressman Garner: 'T think ne
is entitled to the thanks of the COM
mittee." (Applause.)
The Chairman: eve want to corr
pliment you on the way you have

Converted lew To
Speak Here Sunday

Sunday evening at z o'clock A. c..
Fellman, a converted Hebrew and
now field representative of the
Brooklyn Christian Mission to the
Hebrews will speak at the Presby-
terrain church on "The Evangelical
ton of the Hebrews" Mr.. Fellman
is in no way connected with the
Presbyterian church but he is well
known in the denomination, having
spoken in a large number of our
churches. He is given this oppor.
tunity to present his work for two
reasons, Rev Frank P. Anderson
said today.
"First, because we desire the peo-
pie to get a converted Hebre's view
point and to realize the debt we owe
the Jews. Second, because our
Southern church has under its con-
troll no Hebrew work, and therefore
our responsibility with the other de-
nominations to help maintain an in,
terdenominational work for them. A
free will offering for the work will
be taken after the address.
Hebrews are extended special
welcome.

CAMBRELL TELLS
OF EUROPE TRIP
Head of Baptist Associa-
ton Inspects New Mis-
sion Fields

MACON, Feb. 4.-Dr. J. R. Gam
bell, president of the Southern Bap-
fist convention and former president
of Mercer and DIR. E. Y. Mullins,
president of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary at Louisville,
KY, have just returned from a six
months tour of Europe where they
went to carry the greetings of South
ern Baptists to the various Baptist
families of that country, and to in
spect particularly the new mission
fields which Southern Baptists are
now entering through their Foreign
Mission Board.
Spain, Hungary, Roumania, Jugo-
Slavia, the Ukraine and that portion
of Southern Russia lying east of the
Ukraine, constitute the new fields in
Europe which Southern Baptists are
entering and were evangelistic, edu-
cational and general benevolent work
will be carried on in the future. This
territory is one-half the size of the
United States and has population
one and one-eighth times that of this
country.
Missionary opportunity is excellent
in all these countries, the commits
sioners declare, they having found
the masses of the people ready for
the missionary stage. The morale of
the people in these countries is eX-
cellent, it was stated, though in
Hungary the people are considerably
dissatisfied with the territorial
boundaries fixed by the Versailles
treaty, Hungary being reduced prac-
tically two-thirds in her territory,
population, and resources. There is
a strong probability that war may
break out in Eastern Europe as a
result of dissatisfaction over the
treaty, DR.. Mullins says, as Russia
along with several of the other coun-
tries is sorely displeased with the
peace table partition of the territory.
Only the counsel of the United
States in the matter will make pos
sible the peaceable solution of the
problem presented, Dr. Mullins
thinks and for that reason he is
anxious to see this country in some
manner resume its place in interna-
tional leadership.

WASHINGTON, Feb. a. -. 1T is
fair statement that the most re-
markable testimony before the ways
and means committee during the
hearings on the tariff at this ses-
sion was given a few days ago by
Prof. George w. Carver, of Tuske.
gee Institute, Ala, in behalf of the
peanut, with incidental observations
on the sweet potato.
Prof. Carver is colored man. To
say that he made the wayIand means
committee "sit up and take notice"
is to put it mildly. he showed in a
few minutes tina the probably knew
more about the peanut and its pos
sibilities than anybody else in the
world.
After President P. D. Balm of the
United Peanut Association, and other
persons engaged in the various pea.
nut industries, had made their state
ments to the committee showing why
a duty of a cents a pound on pea
nuts is asked in the permanent tariff
bill now being formulated, Chairman
Fordney said that the committee had
been asked to hear Prof Carver.
When the latter took the stand, the
chairman address him in this 'hur-
ry up" fashion:
"All right, Mr.. Carver, we will give
you ten minutes"
When the witness had talked for
the minutes, the chairman voluntar-
lily said: go ahead; your time is
unlimited"
Starting off with the striking pro-
position that the peanut and the
sweet potato constitute together ga
perfectly balanced ration" for hu.
manity, and that eff all the other
vegetable foodstuffs were destroyed
all the nutrition in them could be
supplied with these two products of
the soil, the Tuskegee specialist pro.
ceeded to astonish the committee and
the spectators by exhibiting peanut
derivaties which they had never
dreamed of. For instance:
Carver. ga short time ago we
found how to extract milk from pea
nuts. Here is bottle Of peanut
milk. 1t is absolutely impossible TO
tell that from cows milk in looks;
the cream rises on it the same as
on cows milk, and in fact it has much
the same composition. This spcci-
men is made especially for Ice cream
making. 1t makes the most delicious
ice cream that have ever eaten"
Congressman Carew: Elbow does it
go in a punch?"
Carver: "Well, I will show you
some punches" (Laughter) "Here
is one with orange, and here is one
with lemon, and here is one with
cherry"
Carew: do these violate the
Volstead law?"
Carver: "No sir. l heard some
one ask what kind of a box this is.
1t is a Pandora's box, I guess; It
never gets empty. Here is bottle
of buttermilk; very rich in fats and
very delightful"
Congressman Hawley: rs that
made from the peanut"
Carver: made from the peanut
milk; yes sir And here is another
very attractive product of the pea
nut-an instant coffee. And this IS
a bottle of Worcestershire sauce
from peanuts"
Chairman Fordney here called for
order in the committee room. Com
mitteemen and spectators were all
amused as we'll as interested. They
wondered what was coming next. 1t
