DIOCESE HOLDS
ESSAY CONTEST
Rev. j. B. Lawrence Gets Rules
For Guidance Of Boys And
Girls OF Church

An essay contest for the church
schools on ''The Missionary History of
the Church." is included in the plans
of the Diocese of Georgia for the
celebration of the one hundredth an.
niversary of the Domestic and For.
eign Missionary Society of the Epis.
copal church, and the rules governing
the contest have been issued from
Savannah by the committee in charge
of the arrangements and have been
received here by the Rev. James B.
Lawrence. rector of Calvary church.
The contest is open to any member
of a church school in the Diocense Of
Georgia, eighteen years of age and
under, boys and girls. in the junior
and senior departments. and the limit
IF time given for the preparation of
the essays is November Is. Ten dol
lars will be given for the first prize
in the senior department, and FIVE
dollars for the second, and five dollars
for the best in the junior and two
dollars and a half for the second. The
judges will be Miss Mary Maccaw,
Mrs. Ralston Lattimcre and ]. X. Nc
liver. On the first Sunday in Advent,
November 27, the winners will be an.
nounced in all of lhe church schools
of the diocese.
1t is felt by the Epis ,opal church
that in marking this anniversary it
should be regarded more than a cele-
bration of this church. The mission
airy organization, which is national
one, has kept pace with the nation,
any many of the leaders of the church
have been pathfinders and pioneers
as well as missionaries. The mis-
sonary society was Incorporated in
1921, and many of the men who
drafted the constitution of the Unit.
ed States, framed the constitution of
the Domestic and Foreign Missionary
society. The members of the church
in 1921 realized that to be living
church it must be a missionary
church, and so a few years after the
organization was completed, bishops
were sent into the domestic fields and
later in the foreign. The church has
always followed the flag. and is today
rendering service in all parts of the
world.
The aim of the centennial is not
only to acquaint the members of the
Episcopal church with what the CEN
tennial means, but to increase greater
interest in the members throughout
the church in missionary work. 1t is
hoped to accomplish three detectives
by Easter 1922, first to get 100 adj
ditional missionaries, both clerical
nalay; second, to enroll 100000 in.
ssors to pray for missions, and
third to enroll 100000 proportionate
givers who will assume the responsi.
bility of stewardship.

ing the results of a classified adj
vertisement placed in the want coll

Gently.
Mr.. France advertised that he
would like to purchase 100 hens
for the schools, and so stated in a
ten-word ad. From the very first
day." said Mr. France, enquiries
began coming in from every part
of the county, and even in counties
surrounding Sumter, finally wind
ing up in Macon, when one of the
Macon papers whote asking if the
might reprint the ad. The school
could have bought 1000 just as
easily as the 100 asked for in the
ad."
The Agricultural school chicken
farm already boasts of more than
100 fine pure-bred layers, of the
variety of White Rocks, White Wy
andottes, Buff Orpingtons and
Rhode Island Reds. Later, it is
planned to have the strain confined
to White Wyandottes, eliminating
the remainder of the breeds. The
farm management considers the
Wyandottes the best all around
fowl, laying generously through
out the year, and preserving
splendid physical condition.
Two acres are now being pre-
pared for winter garden for the
Aggie chicken family, which will
be planted to rye and oats.
A sufficient number of hogs are
grazing on the broad fields to feed
the students for two years, with
an additional 20 goats, besides the
young calves which are coming on.

Cotton Crop Cut
Over Million Bales

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1st-A de-
cline in the condition of the cotton
crop during August caused a reduc-
ton of l loo. 900 bales is the estimat-
ed final production as compared with
the amount forecast month ago.
Production this year was forecast
at 1881, 900 bales of 500 pounds gross.
by the department of agriculture,
which based its estimate on the condi-
ton of the crop August 18th. which
was 4o,3 per cent of normal, fore
casting a yield of 1870 pounds per
acre.
The production was forecast month
ago at S,023,0OO bales, based on the
July Is condition of the crop, which
was 65.7 per cent of normal. Last
years GRIP was IS, 439,603 bales and the
August Is condition was 67.5 per cent
of normal. The average condition
of the crop on August Is for the ten
years 19l1-20 is 67.7 per cent. The
decline in condition from July Is to
August Is was 1874 points. compared
with an average decline of IL points
for the ten years.

If the unofficial announcement of
the proposed consolidation of rail-
roads by the Interstate Commerce
I'Commission proves correct. the end of
the A. B. & A. strike is in sight and
the reinstatement of the old employ-

This Week Very Favorable For
Agricultural Operations In Georgia

ATLANTA, Sept. 1st,-The week
was characterized by easterly winds
and rather damp weather, although
the precipitation was generally. light.
excepting heavy local showers at a
few places. The last half of the week
was comparatively cool. The week
was most favorable for agricultural
operations. Cotton has not improv-
ed and is reported as deteriorating by
many correspondents. The condition
OF the crop is very poor; many full
grown bolls are found ruined by the
weevil, which continues to do great
damage. Cotton is opening rapidly
in all divisions, and picking and ginn-
ing are in progress; new bales have
been marketed in all divisions. Owing
to the short crop cotton will probably
be gathered very early this season.
Corn is good, especially bottom land.
and harvesting continues under favor
able conditions. Tobacco is all gath
cred.
Digging sweet potatoes continues.
and the late sweet potatoe crop is
doing well. Peanuts are fair. Sugar
cane and sorghum for syrup have
much improved and are fine. Rice is
heading, but is pretty grassy in places.
Cutting hay continues. Pears are plen-
tifu1.
Preparations continue for winter &C.
reals, and fall crops are still being
planted.

Agricultural School
To Open Monday
Prospects Are Bright For Full Attend.
ance At Triton School

The Second District A. & M. school
located at Triton, will open Monday
September 5th. Prospects are very
bright for full attendance. For sew
eral pears the dormitories have been
crowded and many have been turned
away. This year the enrolment of
the Senior Class will be about forty
five, which is fifty per cent greater
than that of any previous senior class.
The State makes an annual appro-
priation of $l5,00000 to this school.
This enables it to offer free tuition.
The school has an excellent farm and
dairy and from these can very large
ly supply the dining hall with excellent
food at low cost. With board at
SIS month parent can board his
son or daughter about as cheaply at
the school as at home.
Statistics show that there are eight
times as many boys and girls gradu-
ating from high schools now as grad
uated sixteen years ago. A wise pa
rent can easily see from this that if
his child is to have chance equal to
the average person around him he
must give the child at least a high
school education. Some states all
ready have compulsory attendance of
high schools. 1t is predicted that
Georgia will have such a law. The
wise parent should appreciate the op-
portunity for sending his children to
school.

of the farming population living sew.

END OF STRIKE SEEN in CONSOLIDATION OF ROADS
Brotherhoeds Vote
On Strike Question

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 3l-Mem.
bers OF the five big railroad broth
'orhoods whose headquarters are here
are voting directly on the question Of
strike, it became known today.
Copies of the ballots sent out from
here to the half million members Of
the five unions were obtained today
and show conclusively that the ques-
ton is on whether to strike or &C.
cept wage reductions ordered by the
United States railroad labor board.
Examination of the ballots show
that the wording is practically iden-
teal with that of the trainmen's, the
clerks and shop workers unions.
which already have voted overwhelm-
ingly in favor of a walkout.
The five brotherhoods which con-
sist of the trainmen, engineers, fire
men and enginemen, conductors and
'switchmen, are the "key" to the en-
tire railroad situation. Strike by
them would make inevitable a general
tieup of the nations railroad facili-
ties, both union leaders and rail-
road officials agree.
The railroad trainmen, if they vote
to "leave the service have only to
wait for the sanction of the general
grievance committee before they
walk out. This sanction the men are
told in the ballots, will not be with
he'd.
The trainmen's ballot SAYS:
"All members, and others are here
by notified that if the membership
vote is in lawful necessary majority
to leave the service rather than con-
tinue service under the reduced wages
now in effect, they will on any or
all lines where such vote is secured
with the sanction of the general
grievance committee) be given neces-
sary authority by the president of the
grand lodge,
"The president of the grand lodge
will not with the information given
above) undertake to prevent the
wishes of the men, as expressed in
their ballot, from being adhered to-"
The men are warned that payment
of strike benefits do not hold in
event of general wage movement.
The engineers, firemen and engine
men, conductors and switchmen are
given even more latitude.
eff the membership of these organ
izations vote to accept the wage re-
duction, it disposes of the matter"
the ballot sent to these unions, de-
votes to reject the wage reductions,
it is to be understood that the men
will be permitted to withdraw from
the service of their respective COM
panies unless satisfactory settlement
can be reached under the laws of the
organizations"
