convention on “The Backward Peo

Saturday.
She w’as a faithful and devoted
Christian, a -dutiful wife and a fond
sister, and has now gone to join her
husband, who was called from her
six months before. She had been a
member of the Baptist church for a
number of years, and was faithful to
the end.
Fever first broke her health down,
And then dreadful heart trouble set
in;
She knocked at the heavenly gate,
And the Savior took her in.
ment and desolation.
She leaves four sisters, one brother,
a number of other near relatives and
a host of friends who ministered to
her in her last days on earth, to
mourn her loss. We should bow in
humble submission to God’s will,
knowing that our loss is her gain,
out hearts swell with sorrow to know
that—
That a loving voice is forever stilled,
And her vacant chair can never be
filled.
HER NIECE.
Mrs. A. F. Williams.
On April the ninth, the angel of
death visited our community. When
his mission was ended, the noble heart
of Mrs. A. F. Williams had been stilled,
and her spirit carried on wings of
love to the house of the good.
We are conscious of her loss; but
One, more wise than us, knows best,
and-.w’e submit to His will.
Mrs. Williams was fifty-two years
of age, and was a devoted member of
the Methodist church. She had been
one of our near neighbors for over
two years.
As a neighbor she was a modest,
unassuming friend, true to every trust
in life, honest, upright, self-sacrificing,
looking always to the welfare of oth
ers, and ready and willing at all times
and under all circumstances to aid the
distressed and comfort the sorrowing.
Her sweet, unostentatious life made
her worthy of the love she received
from her many friends.
She had been in delicate health for
some time.
The home vacated by her sweet
smiles is like a flower with its fra
grance gone. But blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord, and we
believe she went to sleep on earth to
be awakened by angels in heaven.
She leaves a husband and seven
children to mourn her loss.
The funeral w r as held at the Dunna-
gan church Saturday morning at ten
o’clock, Rev. E. G. Thomason, of Dal
ton, conducting the service.
The interment was in the Dunnagan
cemetery.
Very sad indeed, were the people of
this place Tuesday morning when they
were called to witness the death of
Mrs. J. H. Wood.
She w r as a woman of good, religious
morals, and we all hate so much to
give her up; but we only hope that
our loss will be her gain.
Reposing in her silent resting place,
beneath the tears and sorrow, and the
love of countless friends, we com
mend her pure spirit to God who gave
it, and in deep sorrow’, but in fond re
membrance of what she was, we say a
sad farew’ell.
She has gone to be with Jesus, and
we should say to her dear husband
and children, weep not for her; but so
live that when thy summons come to
join the innumerable caravan which
moves to that mysterious realm where
each shall take his chamber in the si
lent halls of death, thou go not, like
the quarry slave at night, scourged to
his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
by an unfaltering trust, approach thy
grave like one that wraps the drapery
of his couch about him and lies down
to pleasant dreams.
Those lips so sweet to kiss
Are closed forever now,
Those sparkling eyes that shone
bright
Beneath that pearly brow,
That heai’t that beat so high,
Free from all care and gloom,
Are hidden now from those she loved,
Beneath the silent tomb.

Miss Trawick led the devotional
Saturday morning. It was followed by
reports of the district secretaries,
Literature, Our Homes, was discuss
ed by Mrs. Siler; study class, by Mrs
Johnson; press work, by Mrs. Butler.
A party consisting of Miss Trawick,
Mrs. Meador, Miss Mattie Lee Huff
Mrs. W. R. Davis, Miss Crim, Miss
Clara Brown and Mrs. M. W. Elrod
visited the Crown Cotton Mill and Elk
Mill, so that the mill workers, Misses
Trawick and Crim, could have an op
portunity to see our mill districts, and
to present all the good features of
their work to the Dalton mill presi
dents as an incentive to work for and
among our mill employes. Saturday
afternoon the reports of the various
committee were given and accepted
followed by the election of officers.
Mrs. Peabody and Miss Carrie Green
added much to the pleasure of the con
vention by beautiful vocal solos. An
especially attractive feature of each
day’s work w’as the institute work by
Miss Head, a most earnest, forceful
speaker. She spoke how the auxiliary
meetings should be conducted, special
music, the devotional to be conducted
by those fitted for the work, and w’ho
would make thorough preparation, and
that the prayer should have special
study and a special, definite purpose.
The meeting should be in spiring, in
teresting and informing. A special
plea was made for the young life of
the church, for the educated refined,
cultured young ladies and men of Dal
ton to go into the mission field as
trained workers.
Miss Head said that if the ladies
would leave off one feather or flower
from their hats and put that money
intq the church work that a great in
crease would there be in funds; money
for the work would be more plentiful;
and she knew the men would agree
with her that the hats would look
better with one less flower or one
less feather. She spoke of boxes of
supplies for ministers with small sala
ries, Vashti home, and books for the
traveling library. Vashti school and
Rabun Gap school were pledged by
the different auxiliaries. The auxilia
ries were urged to see that the 25
cents incidental was collected and sent
the first quarter, and that each
member give a dollar a year to the
home mission work, paying 25 cents
quarterly, and if not paid, see that it
was collected and sent in, enabling the
board to do efficient w r ork.
The noon devotionals of Thursday,
Friday and Saturday were conducted
by Mrs. Frank Siler. Theme for
Thursday, “The Shepherd;” Friday,
“The Good Shepherd;” Saturday, “The
Chief Shepherd.”
The pages of the convention were
Mrs. B. P. Trammell, Jr., Misses Leone
Robertson, Gertrude Harlan, Lula Fel-
ker, Sallie McFarland, Mabel Lester,
Johnnie Louise Sanders and Mildred
Elrod.

Sunday morning, at the Sunday
school hour, W. C. Martin addressed
the school on “What the Resurrection
Had Meant to the World.” Miss Clara
Brown’s kindergarten school sang
most sweetly two little songs, which
did much credit to both the little
folks and Miss Brown.
Mrs. Lester’s class then entertained
the school with songs and recitations,
all of which were charmingly given.
The banner for best attendance was
transferred from Mrs. W. R. Davis’
class to that of Miss Leone Robert
son.
Rev. J. R. Speck gave a beautiful
lecture on the Easter Tide to the Shu
mate class.
The sermon Sunday morning was by
Rev. John S. Jenkins, presiding elder
of the Rome District, from the text,
“Ye are co-laborers with God.” The
discourse was divided into three heads
the work, the worker and the field
The work was works of. nature, prov
idence and grace; the workers, God
and man; the field, the whole w r orld
into which the Home Mission society
had entered, and was doing a great
and noble work which eternity alone
could reveal.
All who heard Mr. Jenkins
charmed with the discourse.
Sunday afternoon the McEachern
Brigade work was presented by Mrs
J. R. King. The brigade managed by
Mrs. Jessie Smith gave a most delight
ful exercise of recitation and songs
Miss Flossie Baker, as Columbia,
draped in the folds of Old Glory, and
fluttering the red white and blue to
the breeze, was presented by the Home
Mission society.
The emigrant, who is pouring into
the country at the rate of a million
a year, the settlement girl, slum girl.
Mormon widow, Chinese, Japanese
and Indians who sought protection
from Miss Columbia were represented.
A quartette, composed of Misses
Leone Robertson, Johnnie Louise San
ders, Tommie Harlan and Master Tom
Smith rendered, in a most charming
way, “My Old Kentucky Home” and
Home, Sweet Home.”
The banner for the brigade for the
largest enrollment of babies was pre
sented to the Atlanta Brigade; and
the banner for the best collection from
mite boxes was captured by the Dalton
Brigade. Master Bernard Neal, a tot
of six. years, presented these banners
in a manner that could not have been
improved on by an adult. He is a
born orator, and his composure, clear
ness of speech and dignity carried the
audience by storm. A great future is
predicted for the little man.
As usual, “the best wine was re
served for the last.” Tuesday evening,
after the devotional conducted by Rev.
Jno. T. Richardson, Miss Addie Mitch
ell, deaconess, who has charge of the
mill work at Lindale, East Rome; Miss
Crim, who is in charge of Wesley
House No. 1, Atlanta settlement work,
and Miss Trawick, deaconess, from
the Augusta work, gave interesting ac
counts of their work, which was a
revelation to many unacquainted with
the great and noble work done by
these devoted women, who have given
their lives, not only to service, but to
live with these people—to be one of
them—that they may lift them up and
bring them to Christ. There is no
heart so callous, no life so barren, that
will not respond to the touch of
love.

TENNESSEE WILD ON ROADS
(Continued from page 1).
terests of the citizens of Jefferson
county, were the compulsory educa
tion measure and a bill authorizing
the county court to issue $150,000 ad
ditional pike bonds to complete the
present system of good roads, inaugu
rated a few years ago, when $300,000
worth of bonds were issued and sold
and about fifty-eight miles of road
were completed. With the additional
$150,000 bonds expended on her road
system Jefferson county -will have the
best roads of any county in East Ten
nessee. With the completion of
pike road from Straw Plains through
New Market, Jefferson City, Talbot
Station and connecting with the Ham
blen county pik$ system, there will be
an all-pike drive from Rogersville, in
Tawkins county, through Hamblen and
Jefferson counties, and connecting
with Knox county’s pike or a good
drive for wagons, buggies and automo
biles, extending out of Knoxville for
about sixty miles. This will be
boon for the section of the country
through which it will pass, and an
important feeder for Knoxville. With
the completion of Jefferson coilnty’s
part in this extension only a few miles
will remain for Hawkins and Hamb
len counties to finish until this long
pikeway will be a reality.
gia were withdrawn from the hands
of contractors to be distributed among
105 counties for use on their public
roads. Including county convicts,
about four thousand men will hereaf
ter work on the ijoads in 105 counties.
It is now unlawful to lease a felony
or misdemeanor convict in Georgia to
private parties. One county can, how
ever, lease its misdemeanor convicts
to another county, for all are to be
kept at work on the public roads.
“This change is promoting the good
roads movement in Georgia, The
change was brought about because the
contractors maltreated the convicts,
but hereafter it is expected to lead to
the building of good, hard, modem
roads in place of the dirt roads that
have long been a hindrance to the de
velopment of the state. The white
convicts are to work on the public
roads, as well as the black convicts,
and four thousand men will certainly
build many miles of good roads.
“The Georgia papers say that a
a road-building fever has taken strong
hold on the more progressive counties
of the state. Four expert road super
visors are to be employed by the state,
and the hope is, as the years go on,
that the old state will be be filled with
good roads.
Alabama stands a chance to be
soon outclassed by Georgia in the re
spect to public roads.”
South Carolina and Mississippi pa
pers that the News has often seen are
calling on their states to imitate Geor
gia in this important particular, be
cause it means that Georgia fanning
s are going to become rapidly
more valuable than those of any South
ern state.

J A Certain Distinguished Gentleman.”
Chattanooga, April 6.—The county
court is to be commended for its ac
tion on the Rossville road matter.
Briefly, the court decided to ask the
legislature for permission to issue $50,-
000 in county bonds to build a seven
ty-two-foot roadway from the city lim
its to Rossville. The court estimates
that this amount of money will build
substantial macadamized roadway
the entire distance.
There is some disappointment that
the court did not make the appropria
tion larger, say, double, but the fact
that $50,000 was authorized to be spent
on the road is hailed with delight by
all the friends of the enterprise.
As can be seen from the above, the Wer ® alS ° Sore and stiff >
counties of Tennessee are in earnest
about wanting good roads.
In speaking of a recent bond issue
in Montgomery county, Alabama, the
Birmingham Ledger says:
Montgomery county voted that $150,-
000 bond Issue for roads and bridges.
That is always a safe and permanent
investment for the public good.

From that point lie got down to fie
facts in the campaign he had
a “certain distinguished gentleman."
He stated that on the ISth of Febnry
he received fifteen letters asking fiat
he consent to run for governor. This
was immediately after he had citifi
ed his card against port rates. lie
first letter he read was from a gen
tleman of Valdosta, who wanted Mu
to make the race. From that time oa
he received numbers of similar let
ters, some days receiving between 75
and 90. After receiving all of
these letters he considered that he
would have to run or be branded as
a coward. Because the people demand
ed that he enter the race he did so,
and not to gratify any personal spite.
On the ISth of March, exactly o:e
month after receiving the first letter,
he announced his candidacy.
From that he outlined the result of
the election, showing where he car
ried four counties in which he had
lived. His majority in Cherokee com-
ty, the place where he was born, and
in Cobb county, his psesent hone,
was 423. the majorities being exacmy
