ENCAMPMENT AWARDS
Results of the Bluffton Meeting
Show Good Work.
The recent Bethel Baptist Encamp
ment held at Bluffton was a great
success, but it was not known just
hpw great a success it was until all
the class work was completed, ex
amination papers graded, and awards
made. This work has now been
finished and the final records show
that that 385 folks enrolled in the
several classes. Probably half of
these made no effort to stand an
examination and secure the awards,
but of the remainder a total of 167
passed the tests assigned and have
been granted the Diplomas and Cer
tificates or Seals for maxing the
necessary grade. Fifty-two of these
awards have been issued by the
Sunday School Board, Nashville.
Tenn., fifty-four by the B. Y. P. U.
Department of the Georgia Baptist
Convention, Atlanta, and sixty-one by
the Mission Study Chairman of the
Woman’s Missionary Union.'* One
other class is yet to be heard from,
which will increase the number from
the W. M. U.
The distribution of the awards
among the churches of the Bethel
Association is as follows: Arlington,
21; Beulah, 1; Blakely, 30; Bluffton,
14; Coleman, 22; Colomoffee, 20;
Cuthbert, 2; Edison, 17; Enterprise,
1; Fort Gaines, 3; Hillside, 3; Mor
gan, 4; Morris, 3; Pine View, 9; Sa
lem, 2; Vilulah, 4; and Visitors from
other Associations, 11.
The increased knowledge concern
ing church Methods and Missions
will mean much for the, progress of
all departments of religious activi
ties in the years to come, and it is
anticipated that these 167 will cre
ate an atmosphere of study which
will bring many others into definite
work along these lines.

Why do presidents, statesmen and
men of means have their clothes
made to measure?
Because made to measure clothes
areu nquestionably superior in every
respect. After all, it’s the fit that
counts, not only in the appearance
of the garment, bu in the comfort it
gives the wearer.
The big modern wholesale plants
of the Famous A Nash Co. have
brought fine quality made-to-measure
clothes right down within reach of
every man’s procketbook.
Be individual, get that feeling of
confidence in yourself, in business and
social cativities —have your clothes
made to measure from the Golden
Rule line—A. NASH CO., Cincinnati.

Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, Mclntosh,
Glynn and Camden counties, as a
political subdivision, body politic
and corporate, for the purpose of
aiding in the construction of a
Public Highway through said coun
ties, to provide that said Coastal
Highway District may issue bonds,
and to provide for a method of re
tiring said bonds and the payment
of the interest thereon, and for
other purposes.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by
authority of the same, That the
Constitution of the State of Georgia
be amended by adding the follow
ing sub-paragraph to follow Para
graph 1 of Article 7, Section 7, the
same to be known as Paragraph 1-d,
towit: “The Coastal Highway Dis
trict is hereby created as a political
subdivision, body politic and corpor
ate of this State, for the purpose of
aiding in the construction and com
pletion of the Public Highway known
as the Dixie and South Atlantic
Coastal Highway, extending from the
Savannah river to the Florida line,
with the right to sue and be sued,
to have a seal, make contracts and
to do all things necessary or proper
to carry out the purpose of this
Amendment. The said district shall
be composed of the territory of the
Counties of Chatham, Bryan, Liber
ty, Mclntosh, Glynn and Camden
Counties. The said Coastal Highway
District shall have authority to issue
bonds not exceeding $900,000.00 for
the purposes aforesaid; the bonded
indebtedness of said district shall be
incurred and the expenditures of
funds derived therefrom as well as
all other matters and transactions
necessary to carry out the purposes
of the Constitutional Amendment
shall be managed, controlled and di
rected by ten commissioners, to be
selected, four from Chatham, two
from Glynn, and one each from Bry
an, Liberty, Mclntosh and . Camden
counties. The said commissioners
shall be selected and vacancies filled
by the officers in charge of levying
taxes in said counties respectively,
and shall hold office for a period of
five years and until their successors
are selected and qualified. The bonds
when issued shall be signed and
sealed by said commissioners and
shall be a lien upon the entire prop
erty of all of the counties composing
said district, and a first lien to the
extent of the annual retirements and
interest payments thereon upon any
sums payable annually hereafter by
the State of Georgia to the said
counties respectively from amounts
collected from gasoline and oil taxes
until all bonds of said district are
retired. At or before the issuance
of said bonds the commissioners of
said district shall assess the coun
ties composing said district an
amount sufficient to pay and retire
the bonds as they come due and pay
the interest on the same. The bonds,
principal and interest, shall be re

each county shall be in proportion to
the taxable value of the real and
personal property (including public

of each county, shall at or before
the issuance of said bonds provide
for the levying, assessment and
collection annually of a sum suffi
cient in amount to pay the principal
and interest of such county’s part of
said indebtedness, as the same be
comes due, and the complete retire
ment of the indebtedness within
thirty years from the date of incur

of such taxes collected by any county
over and above the amount necessary
to that county’s liability for that
year, after first using the amounts
derived from gasoline and oil taxes
as hereinbefore provided, shall be
retained and the tax levied for the
succeeding year shall be that much
less. The bonded indebtedness here
provided for shall be incurred only
after it has been submitted to the
qualified voters of said district at an
election to be called by the said
District Commissioners and held in
the same manner as elections for the
incurring of a bonded indebtedness
by counties, municipalities and divis
ions. In determining the result of
the election, the vote of the entire
district shall be consolidated and
counted as a unit, each county shall
pay the expenses of the election in
that county. The vote shall be con
solidated and the result of the elec
tion declared hy the District Com
missioners herein provided for. The
Superior Court of any county in said
district shall have jurisdiction to val
idate the said bonds, in conformity
with the law providing for the vali
dation of county, municipality and
division bonds; and the certification
by the clerk of the Superior Court,
taking jurisdiction of such validation
alone shall be sufficient certification.
The proceedings for the validation
may be instituted by the Solicitor
General of any Judicial Circuit with
in which any of said counties lie,
but the proceedings shall be served
upon the authorities managing the
fiscal affairs of each of said counties,
and they shall make answers there
to. Such indebtedness when incurred
shall not be considered in determin
ing the power of any of the counties
composing said district, or any other
county or municipal corporation or
political subdivision of said State,
to incur any other bonded indebted
ness.”
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted by
the authority aforesaid, That when
said Amendment shall be agreed to
by two-thirds vote of the members
elected to each House, it shall be
entered upon the Journal of each

more newspapers in each congres

holding the next general election,
and shall at the next general elec
tion be submitted to the people for

said election in favor of adopting the
said proposed Amendment to the
Constitution shall have written or
