Town Extension Brings Dis cord. McCormick, Feb. 27.-At an elec tion duly called in the year 1919, a majority of the voters within a ra dius of one mile from the depot at the town of McCormick voted to ex tend the corporate limits of the town to one mile in all directions. Those outside the then limits of the town of McCormick as well as those within the old limits voted in this election and a majority of either those inside a::d those outside and within the one .-nile raduis voted to enlarge the lim its. It now develops that those on the outside of the old limits refuse to pay taxes and question the legality of the election extending the limits of'the town on the ground that at that time McCormick's population was over 1,000 and, therefore, the four wardens who ordered and de clared this election were without au thority to do so inasmuch as the town should have had six aldermen instead of four wardens. The town of McCormick, in order to keep down possible litigation, forwarded to the legislative delega- ? tion a petition signed by practically all of the voters residing in the pro posed annexed area asking that they pass an act in the legislature validat ing this election. Some of the oppo nents to the annexation then got busy and forwarded a counter petition ask ing that the legislative delegation not pass such an act. So far the legis lative delegation has refused to take any action while the city fathers de clare that they will undertake to cok lect these taxes. The situation presents a pretty mixup. At the beginning of the year, after having served as mayor for a term of three years, Mayor I. C. Har rison and the entire town council re signed on condition that a new coun cil be elected agreeable to the people of the town and in order to keep down friction. Accordingly a com mittee was appointed to nominate suitable men. This committee nomi nated men whom they thought would be acceptable to all and it now de velops that two of the councilmen are residing within the new territory which they thought they had annex- j ed to the town of McCormick. Methodists Plan Education Drive. The need of Christian education and the aims of the Methodist church's "'Christian education" cam paign through which it is intended to enlarge the work and influence of the Methodist educational institutions of the South were the themes of the three addresses heard at the Metho dist mass meeting at the Washington Street Methodist church last night. Dr. H. N. Snyder, president of Wofford college, in outlining the aim and objectives of the "Christian edu cation" movement said that the church had in beginning the effort "annexed itself to a great idea." The objectives of the movement were, Dr. Snyder said, five. First it would "get into the church a really ade quate conception of the place and meaning of Christian education." The church as a church Dr. Snyder said, was not interested in education as education but it is concerned in what principles, ideal and standards motivate the educated man. It is con cerned, he pointed out, with what the educated men do with their educa tion. The second aim of the campaign, he said, was "to make education more religious and religion more educa tional." The third objective was the securing of trained leaders for church work. The church of tomorrow and the work of the, church of tomorrow will be great or small in the propor tion that its leaders are great or small, Dr. Snyder said. The fourth objective was the raising of at least $33,000,000 for the Methodist schools and colleges while the fifth was the developing of the spiritual resources of the church. America, which had' found its sould in the war, Dr. Snyder said, had apparently lost it in the orgy and riot of money getting after the war. Materialism was now in the ascendency and the cultivation and stirring of the spiritual forces of the nation was the other way to serve the country, Dr. Snyder said. Former Senator W. R. Webb, of Tennessee, who has been a teacher for 56 years, delivered the first ad dress giving tin audience, which over flowed the church, out of the wealth of his experience many a concrete illustration of what Christian educa tion can do and has done. Bishop U. V. W. Darlington explained the gene sis of the Christian education move ment pointing out that the time had come in the history of the country when the people should stop, look and listen. If there is one company of peo ple who ought to be intensely reli gious, Bishop Darlington said, it is the teachers. The need of education he said, is admitted by all, the igno rant and wise alike, the only need be ing and stressing of the importance of Christian education and the sup plying of assistance to the denomi nation's schools. P. A. Hedgers, district director, presided at the meeting.-The State. Harding's Party Starts on Way to Marion* Ohio. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 27.-Pres ident-elect Harding reached here this evening en ro\jjte to his home in Marion, 0., where he will remain for two days prior to going to Washing ton, where on next Friday he will take the oath of office as president of the United States. The Harding party left St. Augus tine at 6:50 this evening, occupying two special cars attached to a regu lar train from the south. Here ? spe cial train vus made up by the way of Atlanta, Chattanooga and Cincinnati. If the plans of Mr. Hrading are car ried out, he should reach Marion early Tuesday morning. H ewill re main in his home town until Wednes day afternoon, when he will start for the national capital, arriving there iometime after noon Thursday. The president-elect is looking for ward to his Marion visit, for it will be. the last time he will be able to greet his old friends and neighbors in the next several months. Mr. Hard ing's home town associates have ar ranged for a sort of farewell to him Thursday afternoon. If the weather is favorable the affair will be held at the Harding "front porch," where the president-elect delivered many cam paign speeches and greeted thousands of pilgrims to Marion. On this occa sion Mr. Harding will be presented with a souvenir as a token of esteem. The president-elect and Mrs. Hard ing spent a quiet Sunday. During the afternoon they attended a band con cert and later received a few person al friends. Mrs. Harding was the re cipient of many offerings of flow ers and her compartment on the car resembled a garden of roses. Many of the offerings came from tourists who have been stopping in St. Augus tine during the stay of the president elect and Mrs. Harding. Enthusiastic farewells were ex tended Mr. and Mrs. Harding, both at their hotel and at the railroad sta tion. At the station a large crowd gathered and gave the next president and his wife a hearty good-bye. Both Mr. and Mrs. Harding held an im promptu reception on the station plat form, and not until their train left were they able to leave the crowds of men, women and children who wanted to shake their hand and wish them godspeed.
