PRESBYTERIAN
PASTOR RESIGNS
Rev. F. P. Anderson Accepts
Call To Gadsden, Ala,
Church

Rev. Frank p. Anderson, pastor of
the local Presbyterian church for the
last 2 years and three months, has
handed to the church board his reSig-
nation, effective February 1, and it
has been. accepted. Formal an
nouncement Of the fact has not yet
been made to the congregation. Mr.
Anderson had received and accepted
a call to the pulpit of the First Pres
byterian church of Gadsden, Ala,
and it was to accept this call that he
rendered his resignation here. It was
with reluctance but the knowledge
that he was going to congregation
twice as large that the local board
accepted the resignation. Confrma-
ton of the change by the presbytery
remains to be had to effect the
change.
Mr.. Anderson stated today that he
regretted very much to leave Ameri-
Gus, he having formed many close
ties during his residence here. Gads-
den is a larger place than Americus,
having $4,000 people within the cor
porate limits and some populous su-
burbss giving him "a larger field Of
work than was possible here.

JOHN B. ANSLEY
HRE'-EI,LECTED AS
PAVING BUILDER
Chosen County Engineer At Old
Salary After Refusing Cut
Others Reelected

John B. Ansley, for nearly two
years county engineer, was re-elect-
ed to that position yesterday by the
county board at his previous salary of
$4,000 per year. George o. Mar
shall, county agent, was reelected
at SIS per month, DR.. b. f. Bond,
county commissioner of health at
$3.50 per month; DR.. f. L. Cato coun-
ty physician at $50 per month; w. W.
Dykes, county attorney with $500 re-
tainer. and Fred Campbell, co!orcc
stockadc religious attendant at SIS
per month All salaries were at the
same scale as last.
In addition the board voted $50
monthly to the city hospital, $50
monthly to the Carnegie library and
! $25 month to the Ladies Aid So
ciety, also all on the same schedule
as last year.
1t was the first meeting Of the
new year and all the members Of
the board were present except Chair
man N. A. Ray, who took advantage
of the cold day to kill hogs. r. S.
Oliver, secretary Of the board, pre-
sided in his absence.
The only matter which brought
forth any discussion-an it was said
there was little on twas the re-
election of Mr. Ansley. This took
place as the final action of the board,
after large amount of routine bust
ness had been disposposed of and
the members were about to depart.
A month ago the status of Mr.. Ans
ley for the new year was brought up
and discussed at length, three menu
bers of the board at that time ex-
pressing themselves, it is understood,
as favoring a reduction in salary for
him for the present year. Mr.. Ans
ley year ago had submitted to a
cut of $500 year, but on this ocs
casion he served notice on the board
in person that he would not consider
a reduction of penny, but would
leave the county's employ unless it
saw fit to retain him at the same
salary He went into considerable
detail reviewing his activities for the
year as rural paving building, road
overseer and convict warden, showing
that he had handled approximately
$175,000 during the year, of which
his salary was but trifle per cent
age,
The board was informed from an
other source that Mr.. Ansley had g
standing offer at higher salary to
go elsewhere to engage in road con-
struction, and that the state highway
department was seeking his services
as q result of his record here: 1t
is said Mr.. Ansley is regarded by W.
R. Neel, state highway engineer, as
one of the states very best highway
builders.

prices paid to farmers on December

decrease of 9,639,00O, about 35
rer cent. For the most part this de-
crease is due to drastic price declines
in farm products. On the whole
production was better than in 1920,
excepting of apples, peanuts and to-
bocca; and of Georgia's big money
crop, cotton, which was only so per
cent of the 1920 cotton production.
The area devoted to important
crops in 1921 is given at 10,705,000
acres and is comparable with 11,073,-
600 acres in 1920.
The 121 value of the crops de-
scribed by the statistician follows:
Corn, $37, OCT, 900; winter wheat,
$2.536, 900; oats, $5,537,000; rye,

FREIGHT CARS
 ALL MOVING
INCREASE IN CROP MOVEMENTS AND FUEL TAXING GAR CAPA-
 CITY TO LIMIT
FEW SURPLUS COAL CARS
Railway Executives Admit That Many Locomotives Are Out Of Comn1is-
 sion In Need Of Repairs.

New York.-Railroads have exhaust ed their surplus freight cars for the first time since November, 1920, ow- ing to increased industrial activity throughout the country, the Associa- ton of Railway Executives announced.
 Increase in the movement of crops, fuel and other commodities always brings a heavier demand for freight cars in the fall, the statement said, so that the present situation is considered seasonable and normal. The prospect cf a car shortage was not mentioned.
 "On September there were 43,16S surplus freight cars, 27,2S7 fewer than on August 31," the statement said. "At the same time there were requests from shippers for 67,S99 cars which could not be complied with just at that time This was 9,229 cars more than on August 31.
 Surplus coal cars numbered 34,6S5 on September 8, reduction of 19,SS1 since August 31, while thrilled orders for cars on that date totaled 1S,554 cars. Surplus box cars totaled 2,1S7 cars, reduction of 1,703 in the same period, while thrilled orders for cars on September totaled 39,032."
 The demand upon the carriers to haul bumper crops, combined with the emergency movement of coal, has cen tered attention also on the depleted motive power equipment of the roads, which has been affected by the shop mems strike. The associations last report placed the number of locomo- tiyes unfit for service at more than 30 per cent in August. Since then large number of locomotives have been re- tired for repairs, some railroad off, cials admitted, and estimating that approximately one-half of the roads motive power Is unavailable for use in the present emergency.
 The need for more locomotives to move the congestion of freight on nearly every railroad in the country is giving greater concern to rail off cials, it was said, than the possibility of a car shortage.
