PINK BOIL WORM
SPREADS In TEXAS
INSECT PEST FOUND IN SEW
ERAL PLACES IN BIG STA
PIE PRODUCING COUNTY.

DALLAS, Texan unusually inn
|portant conference on the pink boil
worm situation in Texas, occasioned
by the recent discovery of new in
festations in Ellis county, one of the
largest cotton producing counties in
the state, has been called by the fed
eral horticultural board of the United
States department of agriculture, to
be held at Dallas, Texas, December
2, at 10 a. M, in the assembly room
of the Texas Chamber of Commerce.
Notices Of the conference have been
sent by the board to state entomolo-
gists, commissioners of agriculture
and officials of Cotton Seed Crusher
Associations and the American Cotton
Association urgently requesting their
attendance.
The occurrence of the pink boil
worm in Ellis county is looked upon
as by far the most important develop
ment in the spread of the pest since
its introduction into the United States.
According to Chas. L. Marlatt, chair
man of the board, the new situation
demands early and most serious con-
sideration by the authorities in Texas,
as we'll as by the authorities of all
other states that produce cotton. In
the meantime steps have been taken to
secure, by cooperation on the part OF
the state of Texas and the Cotton
Seed Breeders Association OF that
state, control of the movement OF seed
and cotton from Ellis county pend
ing the determination of the confer
ence.

BISHOP GAMBLER RAPS
MODERN DAY THEORIES
URGES PREACHERS TO STICK
TO THE OLD LANDMARKS
OF SPIRITUAL SALVATION.
HAS WEARIED OF THE TIMERS
Had as Soon try to Run Bakery on
Mamma as to Feed a Perishing
World on the Nambly Family Stuff
Being Offered the Church.

Triton, Cain his opening adj
dress before the annual session of the
South Georgia conference, held here,
Bishop Gambler delivered one of the
strongest and most interesting. SER
mons in his long career.
THE early disciples walked, talked
and ate with Jesus. Walking with Jes-
us is a preparation that you cannot get
out of the schools today" said the
bishop. Il am not against schools, but
association with Jesus is a preparation
that outranks all your schools as our
power and preparation must come
through spiritual agencies.
Eyes, but we are hearing on all sides
that the times have changed. | am get
ting sick and weary with the tinkers
that are all the time trying to shape
the times. The times have not chang
ed as it is related to sin. Our sins are
old-fashioned. our consultations are old
fashioned and death is old-fashioned.
Il had just as soon try to run a
bakery on the mama gathered up
Overnight as to try to feed the famish
ing, perishing world with the nambly
pambly stuff that the world is offer
ing the church to solve the problems
of today. Our Lord never came to this
earth to take advice of mere man, yes,
but they say, we must interpret the
signs of the times Well, | will just
say that you just as well try to write
grammar that deals with the confu-
sion of tongues that took place at the
Tower of Babel. A mans creed is OF
ten born of his fears No real man
ought to ever be satisfied with any
estimate of himself based on public
opinion.
Not Built by Human Hands.
every once and a while little
tinker comes along with his kit OF
tools and wants to show us how to
erect the house of God. You delegates
that go to Hot Springs next May,
don't you go there thinking you can
build the church of God. Gods church
is not made by human hands,
"And just here let me say, we don't
want any politics in the election OF
delegates to the general conference;
Don't elect a politician to an annual
conference who will play politics II
he should happen to be elected to go
to Hot Springs.
"They are talking about passing a
law limiting the tenure OF a bishops
office to four years, and | want to say
that if they elect bishop by politics
at Hot Springs four weeks will be long
enough for me to associate with such
a character. | should feel like getting
out of the bishopric and calling for my
mule and forty acres of land"
The bishop reached a remarkable
climax in touching appeal to the
conference to be true to the old LAID
marks and stand by the fundamental
facts and life of christianity when he
closed.

WINS FIGHT
ON LINK JOHNSON
GEORGIA NEGRO, NOMINATED
FOR REGISTRAR OF DEEDS,
IS REJECTED BY SENATE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Henry
Lincoln Johnson, negro republican ma
tional committeeman from Georgia
whose appointment as registrar of
deeds for the District of Columbia
came last June, has been rejected by
/ the senate in executive session, with
only one dissenting vote.
The fight against Johnson was led
by Senator Thomas E. Watson, OF
Georgia, who has fought the con6rma-
ton both in the committee room and
on the floor OF the senate 1t is un-
derstood that Senator Harris joined
with Senator Watson in claiming that
the negro was personally obnoxious
When the confirmation OF Johnson
first came up before the district COM
mittee of the senate the junior senator
from Georgia objected. The commit
tee, however, stood solidly along party
lines and voted in favor OF the confir-
nation.
Senator Watson then carried the
fight to the floor OF the senate, explain
| ing in detail why Johnson was OBJ
Inoxious to him. He declared that the
NEGRO committeeman had printed an
interview in a Baltimore negro paper
! to the effect that he would rather be
in hell without Tom Watson than II
heaven with him"
The senator also placed before the
senate a record of Johnson in an al
legged legal transaction in Atlanta
which he claimed untitled him for a
position of trust under the govern
ment.
Will Hold Conmitteemanship.
Johnson denied a rumor that has
been current for several months that
The agreed with the national republican
Headers before his name was sent to the
senate that when he received appoint
ment he would resign as national COM
mitteeman for Georgia. Many mem
bers Of the republican national COM
mittee, it was said, had urged John
sons appointment to get rid OF him
on the national committee, and several
republican senator's had favored his
confirmation for the same reason.
Johnson declared his purpose to
hold on to his conmitteemanship, as
serting he intends to attend the next
meeting of the republican national
committee, and declaring defiantly that
nobody can make him resign or take
the office as committeeman away from
him.
1t is understood that the president
will not again send the name OF john
son to the senate.
