THE PILOT, Southern Pine^ and Aberdeen, North Carolina Page Thr®« Bishop Mouzon Reveals Plan to Unite Methodist Churches Eig'ht Million Members Would Come Under One Banner in Unification Program Eight million members of three Methodist denominations were offer ed their first glimpse last Saturday of a plan that would merge them into one united church. Bishop E. D. Mouzon of Charlotte, senior bishop of the Southern church, made public for the first time basic details of recommendations to unite Southern and Northern Methodists and the Methodist Protestant church. "I am confident this plan will meet all objections raised against the first plan, which was defeated,” Bishop Mouzon told the fall meeting of the College of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The Northern church is the largest of the three existing branches, with a membership of about 5,000,000. There are 2,743,983 Southern Metho dists and about 500,000 members of the Methodist Protestant church. The unification plan would divide the United States into church juris dictions, with bishops elected by each jurisdiction. A Northeastern jurisdiction would Include New England and other states east of the Ohio and north of the Potomac river. The Southeastern jurisdiction would take in all states south of the Potomac and east of the Mississippi river, except Louisiana. Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska would comprise a South- Central jurisdiction. The Pacific coast states and Rocky Mountain regions would form a western jurisdiction. Negro members of the entire church would be in a separate divis ion, the central jurisdiction. They would have the right to join white congregations w'here such member ships were acceptable. Foreign branches would be separate jurisdic tions. Annual and general conferences would be held as at present. “Adoption of this plan would be the church’s first great step toward Christian unity,” Bishop Mouzon said. “Christian forces must present a solid front if we are to break down narrowness and other evils which are threatening our civiliza tion. I believe the Methodist plan will influence other evangelical groups to unite.” Bishop Mouzon was the Southern representative of the three member commission which drafted the unifi cation plan. IN RECORDER’S COURT A brief session of Recorder’s Court wa'3 held on Saturday, during which two cases were tried. C. L. Wicker was given a 30-day sentence for pub lic drunkenne&s, suspended upon pay ment of the costs. Beatrice Ivey plead guilty to a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, and was given two months in jail. Get Your License Applicatians for 1936 Auto Ta)?s Mailed to Half Million Owners By the time this is read more than half a million automobile owners in the state will have ap plication cards for the 1936 li censes. Owners may secure the licenses for next year by Decem ber 15, and are required to have them by the end of the month. They are asked to submit the ap plication cards when applying, as that will save time in issuing li censes and tags. Licenses will cost less this time, due to the re duction made by the 1935 General Assembly. JAGKSON SPRINGS Mrs. Harold Rome and children Phyliss and Barbara of Chicago are visiting her aunt, Mrs. C.

T, Clark How to Use Tobacco Scrap for Fertilizer County Affent (larrison Recom- i mends .Mixtures for Cultiva- i lion rf Sandy Soil j By E. H. <;iirris«n, ('ouiity .Agent \Vn are having a good many sales cards turned in now that tobacco is of such low quality that it would not justify putting on tbe market. This the growers have been advis ed to do where tobacco would not , bring four cents per p(,und or more. This tobacco may be used for ferti- I lizer or other purposes. Some time I ago I took the matter up with H. B, ; Mann to determine the analysis of this tobacco and what might be ad- i ded to this to make a complete piece of fertilizer. The letter from Mr. Mann carries the following informa- tino: I The average analysis of scrap to- ; bacco leaves when dry is approxi- I mately 4 percent nitrogen, 0 5 per- I cent acid and 5.7.') percent potash, jDry stems will analyze about 3 per- ; cent nitrogen, 6.5 percent phosphor ic acid and 5 percent potash. You I will note that the leaves are consid- I crably better than the stems. I To use scrap tobacco leaves in a ! fertilizer mixture for corn, cotton or I truck crops grown in the Coastal Plain section of North Carolina, that is, on the sandier soils, about 600 pounds of tobacco leaves, 100 pounds of .'50 percent muriate of potash, 300 I pounds of 20 percent sulphate of am monia and 1000 pounds of 16 percent ! superphosphate is recommended. This ' mixture would analyze a little bit higher than a 4-8-4 mixture. I This should make a good fertiliz er for cotton, corn or truck crops. It would not be advisable to put this ; under tobacco as the scrap tobacco ' might carry disease which would not be good for the new crop of tobacco. In order for this to be handled to the best advantage, the scrap tobac co should be put through a hammer mill or ground up in .some manner so that it would mix well with the oth er fertilizer ingredients. There is enough cf this tobacco life in the county to be of quite a bit ot value in our fertilizer problems for next yeai'. BOV SCOl’TS TO REPAIR TOYS rOK IM)ERPKI\ ILiJOKU A request is being made of the people cf Pinehurst and vicinity by the ladies of the Community Church to bring to the Pinehurst library in the General Office building all old and discarded toys that might have been played with by “your” children but ones which they no longer want. These toys will be used to brighten j the Christmas day of some of those underprivileged children who will not get as many toys as .some (J? the others. I These ladies issue the followig re- I quest: “Will you help us by sending ' us ycur old toys to be passed on, at the holidays ? The Boy Scouts will re- i pair broken toys, so don’t hesitate j to let us have them. Toys may be left at the Pinehurst library daily from 10:00 a, m, to 1 p, m. and from 2 p, m. to 5 p. m.
