DRIVE FOR EARLY
 CROP BILL ACTION
Will Oppose Adjournment Before
 Farm Relief Is Voted

Washington. April 29 R--With the house preparing to speed up &C., ton on tho pending crop surplus senators ad begun a concerted bills next week. group of western drive to Insure enactment of such legislation before congress adjourns.
 This group, made up thus far of republicans. has agreed 10 oppose adjournment until what it regards as adequate farm relief legislation is passed and plans to invite democra. tic senators from agricultural states 10 join in the effort.
 The Westerners favor the corn belt plan as embodied in the sS75,000,- ooo Haugen bill with application of the equallzing fee provision deferred for two years rather than Secretary JardGe's credit proposal written into the s100.000.oo0 Tincher meas urc. Similar views were expressed in q statement. last night by former Governor Lowden of Illinois.
 Although the farmers have not been able 10 agree on plan for solution of tFe surplus problem, the western senators arc of opinion that the Haugen bill would be satisfac- tory to the majority. Unless &C., Ceptahle farm relief legislation is enacted before adjournment, some of them feel that the November elections may result in a consider able shakeup in the membership of congress.
 House consideration of the Haul gen, Tincher and Curtis s-Aswell bills will begin Monday or Tuesday and general debate will be limited to four days. Several night sessions are probable so that all members dcsir- tnE 70 speak on the subject may be heard.

Genial AGED SEXTON ST. Marks
TO Be RETIRED ON PENSION after.
FORTY YEARS FAITHFUL SERVICE

the exact date of his own birth, was
a slave in his boyhood days and it
is thought that he is about 80 years
of age. Much of that time he has
passed in this city.
The aged and genial colored man
who has for so many years been
connected with the church, has re-
Gently been retired and pensioned
and within = few days will be the
proud posseSsor of a beautifully
framed letter from the rector and
clerk of the vestry, in which he is
notified of this fact. The letter has
been read to him and he feels deep
ly the kind spirit in which it was
written, although little sad that he
must, because, of the Entertainments
of age, cease to perform the loving
service to Ibis" church which has
been his pleasure for so many years
The letter which was recently
read to him was dated Dec. 81, 1925,
and reads as follows-"To Our Dear
Friend General George Washington
Grant:
THE Rector and wardens and
Vestrymen Of st. Marks Church,
Augusta, in view sof your long and
faithful service of over 40 years,
have unanimously agreed to pension
You. We know that your record of
service as a church sexton has few
II any equals in the country. Your
Ioce and devotion to the church, your
care of its property, the condition of
the lawn, have all drawn expressions
OF admiration from st. Marks people
and from visitors far and near. At
your time of life you should be re-
lieved of care and responsibility and
we all hope you may live many
years to enjoy a we'll earned vaca-
ton. Your name is, and will con-
.. tinue to be a household one in our
parish and community.
Assuring you OF our highest es-
TEEN and regard and that our pray
er is that your life here my be illum-
mated by the radiance Of the just
which shineth more and more unto
the perfect day."
For the vestry.
S. B. PURvES, Rector,
JOHN c. ARNOLD, Clerk.
At a recent meeting of the board
OF managers of st. Marks Home ex-
pressions of appreciation for his long
years of service were unanimously
passed and as a token Of their graf
itude it was voted that he should re-
ceive his meals at the home so long
as he should live.
With his pension and the promise
of his meals, General Grant feels
that he may now rest with the con-
seriousness of having always done his
duty. In his pleasant and comfort
able fiat in the Bridge block, Bridge
street, he has manv interesting SOU
venirs which help to recall to him
the personages he has met and the
important events in connection with
st. Marks in which he has taken a
part. With his memories of past
events he will pass the remaining
days of his life, secure in the know
ledge that he will never be in want
and that his many friends have re-
membered him and have made the
last years of his life sweet to live.

Director Pleased
With Progress
OF "Y's Fables"

1.-THE people taking part in 'Y's
Fables" are far exceeding my ex-
pectations," said Director Brim Jew
EFT, last evening. "The many dances
and feature numbers are coming
along in fine shape, and the program
next Monday night will be one Of the
best / have ever produced"
He is working hard on rehearsals
both for the chorus dancers and for
the speciality numbers and is nearly
living up to his statement the other
day that he would be busy at re-
hearsals from $50 until uncon-
scious."
One of the most beautiful and
pleasing numbers is the Pygmalion
Ballet number. This which re-
quires the services of Is youthful toe
dancers clad entirely in white, is a
most graceful dance and is one that
will make q decided hit.
Another very novel number will be
the Phosporic dance in which a
startling effect Is produced by the
use of PHOSPHORUS on the costumes
of the dancers.
Miss Hazel Place and Earl WEIGH
in a Beau Brummell' duet number
will furnish some vocal music of
more than. ordinary merit, and it is
whispered that portion. at least,
of either the Rotary or the Kiwanis
six minute entertainment will be
along musical lines.
The three contesting groups in the
oldfashioned dance competition are
practicing hard in order that they
may go through the beautiful routine
of these dances without hitch. The
winning team gets $25 and this adds
to the zest of the undertaking.
In addition to these attractions and
many others. those seated on the
main floor will have the privilege of
dancing to the music furnished by
Brian Jewett and Johnnie Curry and
their orchestra in its first public ap-
pearance in Augusta. Dancing will
be enjoyed between each two num-
bers on the program.
