 CT had any connection with is one that was submitted to a vote of the people and was adopt ed by S&2n. [ am Aot in favor 01 c.ae creation Of any improve ment district except by a vote of the people. MT. Norfleet, on the other hand, while a member of the Legislature from his county, St. Francis, created sev- eral road improvement districts without giving the people a right to vote on them, and in one instance where they had approved another district by vote he passed an act extending it's boundaries so as to take in territory ten miles from the road against the protest of the people and without permitting them vote; and when the peO- pie were preparing petitions to the Governor, asking him, as a last resort, to veto the act, MT. Norfleet went to Little Rock before they could present their petitions and induced the Gov ernor to sign the bill. He also had his relatives and personal friends, one of whom is a res Iident of Memphis, named in these bills as commissioners for ! the district, and they, of course, employed him and father, who ] is his law partner, as attorneys for these districts, and he Is to- day drawing fees from these districts as an attorney. tSee Special Acts Nos. 220 and 363, Acts 1921. The above is my rec ord as wellas that of my oppon- ent on this question. If he is now opposed to bond issues with out the approval of the people, when and why did he become converted to this position?
 Norfleet Is Desperate
 All of these false charges are made by Norfleet because he knows that he is defeated, and in his desperation he is endeav- oring by a smoke screen to ob- scure the real issue in this cam paign, which is our moral and professional fitness for the of flee we are seeking. l have in vited the closest investigation of both my private and public life from the people who have known me all my life. I have the endorsement of every lawyer in White county, of every County official, of Une Democratic Gen. tra lCommittee, as well as all
 those who know me and have
 been associated with me. Nor
 fleet has told you that he has
 the endorsement of his home
 people generally, but he has not
 published such endorsements.
 have made him the proposition
 that if he could procure the
 same endorsements from his home people as I have from mine , that I would withdraw from the race, but he can not do it. Why has he not accepted this chal lenge? Ask yourself why.

Threatening Notes
Sent to Residents
in Colored Section

Anonymous letters, ordering col
ored residents in the north end to
sell their homes and move to other
sections of the city have been receiv-
ed by number of such citizens with
in the last few days, and there is con-
siderable uneasiness among those re-
ceiving these letters. Some of them
have paid for. their homes, and have
made appeals to the authorities to
give them protection.
Some of these letters, it is said,
are signed TX. X. H. bu tit is known
that tn Ku Klux Klan does not send
out letters signed in this manner, and
it is believed the notes are the work
of some mischievous person, or some
one who for a personal reason wishes

MITIGATION PLANS Of.
METHOO|STS PROVIDE A
RENE v Al DISCUSSION
tBy Associated Press,

Hot Springs, Ark, May 19-Its at
titude on unification definitely deter
mined the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
today began what is expected to be
the final lap of the session here. I'm
less the plans of leaders go awry the
body will complete the transaction of
business tomorrow and will adjourn
finally on Monday morning remaining
in session over Sunday for the con-
secration of the five newly-elected
bishops and services in memory of de-
ceased bishops.
Many delegates and visitors already
have left and others go home today.
The question of unification was dis
posed of by the conference late last
night when it adopted a majority
committee report recommending fur
Their negotiations with the northern
branch of Methodism through a joint
commission, the Southern commission
to have liberty of action in regard to
arriving at plan. If the plan is
ratified by the Northern commission
and that denominations general con-
ference then the college of bishops Of
the Southern church would be EN-
powered to call a special session of
the general conference.
The report was adopted without a
roll call after the conference had re-
jected a minority report which would
have re-affirmed the church's previous
declarations on unification and would
have made no provision for the calling
of special session of the general
conference.
The fight for the majority report
was led by Judge J. S. Gambler, of
Atlanta, who declared that racial pro-
blems had been the principal obstacle
in the way of past negotiations and
that some other method with teeth in
it should be adopted. Minority report
advocates urged against giving the
commission too much power and warm
ed that new plans should not be tried
out at this time.

fieuratively speaking, is a low howl
filled with yellow and purple Cr"-
Cuses There is something espe-
cially quaint and springlike about
crocuses. perhaps because they are
not likely to be seen at the florists
until later in the season.
Get the bulbs Immediately of GRO
cuses. daffodils. jonquils. tulips or
fresias and put them in pots into
which you have placed a few stones
for drainage. then a few pieces OF
charcoal to sweeten the soil, and then
fill up with loose garden earth. Just
before putting the bulb in sprinkle
little sand over the soil. Then set
the bulbs on the sand and fill up the
pot with soil to within an inch or
so OF the top. Small bulbs like cro-
cuscs should be put a half-inch or
less below the surface of the soil.
tulips about the same depth. and mar
cissus can be set with their tips
sticking above the surface.
Now water the bulbs thoroughly
and set them away in a cool. dark
cellar for six weeks, or until the
tins begin to sprout sufficiently SO
that they will grow steadily. Then
keep them in a semi darke place
for few days and bring them gradu-
ally into the light. They must be
kept watered all during the period.
While all the bulbs should really have
been planted earlier they will bloom
by Christmas if the conditions are
lust right.

'leachman" as often as the bar
bour. In the course OF time the
term 'Ieachman" was often shortened
into 'leeChe" or "leache."
a large factor in settling these old
trade names into family names was
the fact that children SO often fol-
lowed the same occupations as their
parents, though in many cases the
descriptive name would stick to a son
even when he did not follow his
fathers calling. simply through the
sheer necessity of his having more
than one name at Il time when popu-
lations were growing SO rapidly that
each man could not have a distinc-
tive given name
