GEORGIA PASTOR SUSPENDED
FOR AIDING REPEAL OF LAW
Methodist Preacher Refuses to Re-
sign Post and Demands
Church Trial
sn. john patman,
co the bonnus bureau,
washington, d. c.

Atlanta.-A Methodist preacher,
who campaigned for repeal of Georg-
las prohibition law, found himself
suspended from his pulpit and facing
a church trial.
The Rev. H. E. McBrayer Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
occupying passionate in suburban
Lakewood Heights, was told by a
church committee that he could stand
trial or surrender his credentials.
81 will not surrender my credenti-
als," said the minister. II prefer 60
ing to trial, and I will request trial
at the very earliest date the law of
the church will allow"
No date for the trial has been set.
Expressing the belief that "the
people" do not have "the confidence
and respect for the church that they
once had," McBraycr said he sincere
ly believed "the church has made a
mistake in advocating prohibition as
the best and only method Of control
ling our alcoholic beverage problem"
He continued:
"And / do not believe she will re-
gain the confidence and respect she
has lost until she co1tesses her mis-
take and attempts to repair some of
the damage done by prohibition"
Expressing a firm belief in his ac-
quittal, L1cDrayer said: "John Wes-
ley, the founder o. Mcthodism, said
that Met q. ) wee ~ requi.-i to
believe ar"tni~@ that could not be
proven by the Scriptures, and 1 am
sure that prohibition can not be prov
en- by tic Scriptures"

WOMAN IN SHOE HAS NEW
RIVAL IN NEGRO FAMILY

Mount Airy, May 29.-The old
woman who lived in a shoe, had a
picnic compared with Joe Hughes,
negro laborer of this place.
Joe managed to provide for tu-
bercular wife and II children fairly
we'll until recently when times got
worse for him and he had to go "on
relief"
While subsisting on this aid, his
oldest son lost his job and came back
with his wife and baby, to live with
the old folks.
And just a few days ago the stork
evidently working upon the theory
that to him that hath more shall be
given, visited Joe Hughes home and
left twins.

NOBODY'S
USIN ESS
By Gee Niece

sn. john patman,
CO the bonnus bureau,
washington, d. c.
deer sir
pese except my thanks for the fine
work you have done on the bonnus
for our darling boys who went over
seas and stayed in camps at home
with the coolies and winned the war
by the sweat of their brows and
bloodshed, also on tarpeder boats.
my 2 boys (who newer went
acrost) will be entitled to about 50O$
apeace, and as they all owe me for
bored and clothes and repairs to their
cars, so kindly make dudd's and
scudd's check payable to mr.. mike
Clark, rid, and will turn everything
that belongs to the mover to them
after reducing what they owe me.
budd Clark, my secont son who
went acrost, will get 6O0$, but as he
has always worked for living and
has not waited on the bonnus like
dudd and scudd, he do not owe me
annything, so make his check to him.
these boys all dissearves ever cent
the government is putting out on
them, and they will not ask for anoth-
err bonus for a long time, possibly
just befoar the next presidential
elecktion, if this one is paid at once.
hdudd and scudd got flat feet while
in camp, also their eyesights got in
jured, so they rae getting nice COM
pensate from ncle sam, but it is not
quite enough to keep them in toback-
er and gassoleen and soft drink; it
ought to be raised at least 15$ per
month, so kindly look after our vet
terans who was fncapacited in the
war after the bonnus is paid and try
!! yore best to get it raised as aforesaid.
dudd and scudd have a combined
familey of IL, including their respec-
tiful children, and men and their ma
and our gramma, so ever government
cent counts with us Clarks at present.
this ritter was able to farm some on
the side up to the boys commence to
receive their checks, but he took the
cramps and rommy-tisim in his
shoulders shortly thereafte rand NOV
ed over with them, but what they
owe me is what done for them be-
foar their check commenced to COM
mence.
after the bonnus is paid in full, you
can run for anything in the world
and get eleckted, so make up yore
mind what you want to be, and leave
the balance to us bonus receivers.
yores trulie,
mike Clark, rid.

OLD GRAY MULE LEADS
AGENTS TO MOONSHINER

Washington.-An old gray mule
gave the tip-off that led to arrect of
a Kentucky still operator last week
The treasury says it happened this
way:
Federal agents observed from the
mountain tops a still in the foothills
of the blue grass mountains. The
moonshiners ''lit out" one of them
astride a gray mule, just before the
raid.
This mule had been shedding. In
,vestigators took samples of the hairs
and then traced the mule to nearby
farm. Microscopic examinations show
the hairs to belong to one and the
same mule. It's owner was arrested.

DOUBTS THAT WOMAN
WILL BE PRESIDENT SOON

Washington.-The presidential bee,
beginning to buzz toward the femin-
inc bonnet, may have been fed a few
drops of honey by Louise McHenry
Howe, but it gets no encouragement
from Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt.
The Presidents political prophet
secretary predicted in a recent maya
zine article that within decade a
woman might run for President and
be elected. Mrs. Roosevelt made per-
fectly clear at press conference that
this had not changd. her expressed
view it would be neither advisable nor
practicable at present for a woman to
seek either the vice presidency or the
presidency.
This was in the face of the enthu-
siasm of Miss Lillian D. Rock of
Brooklyn, N. Y, president Of the
League for Woman President and
Vice President, who said: cit would
not surprise me if President Franklin
D. Roosevelt, who has elevated WON
en- to such high places in the affairs
of our country, should demand q
woman as running mate in 1885,"
Mrs. Roosevelt steadfastly stuck tt
her previous statement on the sub
ject, and it's purport was that women
comparatively new in politics, must
do lot of experience-acquiring from
,, the ground up before they take a try
at the highest of governmental jobs
Whether that also is her husbands
view she's never said, one rule of he1
press conference being that she's mo-
to be queried on his views.

NOTABLES JOIN
QUINTUPLETS ON
FIRST BIRTHDAY

Cailander, Ont, May 29.-That
there's nothing new under the sun"
received the boot Tuesday when the
Dionne quintuplets had birthday.
A first birthday anniversary for
quintuplets is something new under
the sun, and the government thought
enogh of it to send two of its minis
tiers here for the occasion.
AS far as the babies were concern
ed, however, it was just another
Tuesday. They are still young enough
to rate orange juice superior to ora
tory and sleep more important than
speeches.
Those present were David Croll,
minister of public welfare, and Dun
can Marshall, minister of agriculture;
DR.. F! G. Routley, of the Red Cross,
and DIR. Allan R. Dafoe, and Judge
j. A. Valen, legal guardians, with
the minister of welfare and the
father) of the babies.
The ceremonies took place at the
nursery across the road from where
the babies were born and where their
parents and five brothers and sisters
live.
On the morning of the birthday an
noversary solemn highmass was sung
at Sacred Heart Catholic church at
Corbell. This was service of thanks
giving and "bon annee"-for a good
year. The government ministers and
the babies parents attended.
Although the babies are always
thought of as an entity rather than
as five Singles" the end of their first
year found them developed into def
mite little personages, each with her
own delightful individuality.
Yvonne, who has consistently been
the largest-she weighed two pounds
six and one-quarter ounces at he1
first weighing and will do better than
and doesn't hesitate to show it. Self
and doesn't hesitate to show it. Self
assured.
Annette takes life with an almost
adult calm. Everything is All right.
Cecile looks upon fuss and fury
disapprovingly. She likes life, but can
see no sense in making scene of it.
Emile is not apt to cry as her Sis
tiers. She is retiring and her charm
is the charm of reticence.
Marie, who was the tiniest at birth
and hasn't quite caught up in weight
yet, appeals to many as having the
brightest personality of them all; and
lively.
