Success to All Who Pay Their Honest Debts —“Be Sure You Are Right, Then Go Ahead.”
BLAKELY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING OCT. 30, 1924
BETHEL ASSOCIATION
MET AT GEORGETOWN
Baptists Make Plans for the
1925 Program.
A large number of the messengers
from the Baptist churches in Quit-:
man, Clay, Randolph, Calhoun, Early j
and Baker counties' gathered in!
Georgetown Monday and Tuesday in |
the 92nd annual session of the Beth
el Baptist Association.
The body organized Tuesday morn
ing by re-electing all the old officers,
as follows: Moderator, A. L. Miller,
Edison, Ga.; Clerk, W. W. Fleming,
Blakely, Ga.; Treasurer, A. P. Hatch
er, Cuthbert, Ga.; Music Director, C.
A. Lanier, Cuthbert, Ga.
Many splendid reports were read
and much important busuiness was
transacted. The good people of
Georgetown proved excellent hosts
and the fellowship was fine.
The two things most prominently
before the body were connected with
the denomination effort to press to a
successful conclusion the Seventy-five
Million Campaign, and to launch
the Baptist program for 1925.
This is the final year of the great
Campaign, which proposed to put
$75,000,000 in the work of Missions,
Education and Benevolence in this
denomination. Up to May 1, $54,-
000,000 had been paid in and an
earnest effort is being made to com
plete the task by the time the books
close, December Ist. The forty-five
churches in the Bethel Association
pledged just a bit over SIOO,OOO for
these objects and up to this time
some $83,000 has been paid. The
discussion at the Association pointed
out the great need of the interests
benefiting by the contributions, and
the messengers came from George
town determined to do their best to
“round-up” by December the bal
' ances due from their churches.
The launching of the Baptist
program for 1925 was discussed at
length. i?lans were formulated look
ing to an every member canvass of
all the churches during the first
week in December, securing sub
scriptions for Current Support (in
cluding pastor’s salary and all local
purposes) which should reach the to
tal of around $40,000, and for the
Program (including all mission, edu
cation and benevolent work of the
denomination) for which a goal was
set of $22,000. This is a per capita
goal of $4.00 per member for mis
sions, etc., and of around $7.25 for
home purposes for the year. An
nouncements will shortly be made
as to plans for bringing this Baptist
program to the attention of the
churches.
All $5.00 and $6.00 Men’s HATS
have been reduced to only $3.48 at
CHANCY’S.
BLAKELY HI DEFEATS
NEWTON INSTITUTE
Fighting “Bob Cats" Outplay
Heavier Team,
The "Bob Cats” of Blakely Hi de
feated the heaviest and strongest
team that they have been pitted
against in’ years on the high school
campus last Friday, the score being
6-0. It was one of the hardest
fought games ever played in Blakely.
Newton Institute, a Junior College,
presented the heaviest team ever to
play against Blakely Hi. The local
boys were out-weighed at least 15
pounds to the man. The Alabama
boys had defeated Eufaula Hi 6-0
and recently held the Dothan Hi to
a 6-0 score. They came to Blakely
all tuned up to win, and it took some
real football to prevent it, too. That’s
exactly what the fighting “Bob Cats”
put up, however, and they deserved
to win. They paid a dear price for
it, however, for **Goat” Hutchins,
star fullback, who went in for Blake
ly in the second quarter and scored
the only touchdown of the game,
had his right shoulder injured, and
will not be able to play aaginst
Bainbridge Hi Friday, nor probably
other games.
A feature of the game was the ap
pearance of Prof. Mangham on the
field shortly before Blakely scored
their touchdown. Instead of weak
ening in the second half, the “Bob
Cats” seemed to develope renewed
energy, despite the loss of Hutchins,
and held the heavy Alabama team
scoreless.
The Blakely line showed the great
est improvement and held and even
opened holes in that of their heavier
opponents.
In the backfield “Grunt” Tarver
played his best game this season.
“Billie” Westbrook, at quarter, has
showed the greatest improvement of
any single member of the Blakely
eleven. “Smoky” Bush, at right
half, got away with several sensa
tional end runs and completed one
brilliant forward pass for 25 yards.
“Goat” Hutchins, although somewhat
handicapped, played his usual splen
did game and crossed Newton’s goal
line tfor 'the only score. Fleming,
at left half, pulled some of his old
time stuff for the benefit of the Blue
and Gold. Details of the game:
Newton kicked off and Blakely re
turned 10 yards. After some gains,
Newton held and Blakely punted.
Newton was quickly downed. New
ton was successful in gaining ground
and pushed the ball to Blakely’s 10
yard line. Here the “Bob Cats” held
and the ball went over. Blakely made
good gains in bucks and end runs,
pushing Newton back to the middle
of the field. A forward pass, West
brook to Bush, netted 25 yards. The
quarter ended here, Blakely’s ball on
Newton’s 10 yards line. Score:
Newton 0, Blakely 0.
2nd Quarter: Tarver got 5 yards
through tackle. Westbrook made 2
yards through line. Hutchins, re
placing Bush, on a fake end run,
made 3 yards and a touchdown. Cox
failed to kick goal. Score: Blakely
Hi 6, Newton Institute 0. Hutchins
kicked off for Blakely. The Newton
player returned 20 yards. A forward
pass netted 5 yards and later two
yards more were gained through the
line. Newton fumbled and Blakely
recovered. Blakely also fumbled and
Newton recovered. Blakely was
penalized 5 yards for offside. On a
fake forward pass, Newton peeled off
15 yards around right end. Newton
also circled left end for 5 yards.
Time out for Newton. Newton hit
the line for two yards. Newton
penalized 5 yards for offside. A for
ward pass was grounded. Newton
punted over Blakely’s goal line. The
ball was brought out and given to
Blakely on her own 20 yard line.
Hutchins got 3 yards round right
end. Fleming hit tackle for 2 yards.
Tarver circled left for 4 yards. Hutch- j
ins went over tackle for 2 yards
and first down. Fleming failed to;
gain. Westbrook made 1 yard round
end. Forward pass, Hutchins to
Fleming, was good for 8 yards. Tar
ver failed to gain. The half ended
here. Score: Blakely Hi 6, Newton
Institute 0.
3rd Quarter: Hutchins for the
“Bob Cats” kicked off. Newton fum
bled and “Goat” swept up the ball
and raced 20 yards before he was
downed. Hutchins circled left end
for 3 yards. Blakely was penalized
5 yards for offside. Forv/ard pass

Peanut Association Members
Receive $60.00 Advance.
Deliveries by members of the Geor
gia Peanut Growers Co-Operative As
sociation continue at an unusually
satisfactory rate, according to offi
cials of the co-op, which has its
headquarters at Albany. Although
the crop was fnlly two weeks later
this year than it was last year, de
liveries more than a week ago passed
the figures on record for the
corresponding date of last year,
and the week just passed has seen
the margin increase. The ratio,
in fact, is increasing every week,
with indications of a record delivery
before the end of the Fall.
Payment in the shape of a first
advance is still being made to the
co-op’s members at the rate of $65.00
a ton, despite the fact that the mar
ket is only $70.00 a ton for No. I’s
in some places, and only about $85.00
for top grade in the best centers.
Deliveries are coming so fast now
to the Peanut Association that it is
called on to advance its members
approximately $26,000 a day in first
payments. Satisfactory financial ar
rangements have been made by the
Association to take care of these
advances, association officials de
clared, and the arrangements were
made at a low rate of interest.
Not only are the old members of
the Association turning their peanuts
over to the Association in volume,
but many leading growers who had
not previously aligned themselves
with the co-op are coming in daily
to fix their signatures to contracts
of their own volition and without
urging, the spokesmen of the asso
ciation declared. The growers,
representing some of the best farm
ers and biggest peanut growers in
the southern part of the State, are
said to feel that the present low
price of peanuts will not continue,
particularly so after the "dumping”
season is ended and the crop is large
ly out of the hands of the growers.
They are also credited with the be
lief that the Peanut Association,
which is absorbing a large surplus
which would have added further to
the volume of dumping had there
been no Association', has stabilized
the market and prevented further
decline. These large growers pre
fer, it is said, to deliver their pea
nuts to an Association that will ttu'
vance them $65.00 a ton at once,
rather than attempt to carry them
themselves and have to wait till
spring for any part of their money.
Many of the larger growers who are
members are also buying their ten
ants’ peanuts and putting them into
the Association’s pool, it is said.
The quality of peanuts received by
the Association this year is unusual
ly high, due to the care with which
members followed instructions as to
stacking and separation of the stacks
after the September rains. Os the to
tal deliveries to date, 83 per cent
graded Number One.
