Planting of “God’s Acre” is but the
modernizing of the old tithing sys
tem, Rev. Mr. Newton said, where
by the farmer gave a tenth of his
earnings from his crops to the
church* Under the new plan the
farmer is asked to set aside for the
church, the return of at least one
acre, less the expenses of raising the
crop.
“There is no question,” Rev. Mr.
Newton said, “but that the system
has been the salvation of Georgia
rural Baptist churches and in many
sections has been the means of re
pairing the edifices, building new
churches and paying the overdue
salaries of pastors.
It has meant the placing of many
of these churches on a self-sustain
ing basis, which had never been the
case before.
“There are 400,000 white mem
bers of our church in Georgia
and at least 300,000 of them are
in the rural sections, so that you
may readily understand just what
the planting of ‘God’s Acres’ has
meant to the Baptist church of this
state.
“The extraordinary hard times
of the past year would have wiped
out many of our historic churches
but for the ‘God’s Acre’ plan.”

CAKE BAKED SIX YEARS AGO
COSTS WIFE A WHIPPING
CHICAGO.—The pies mother used i
to make or rather the lack of them,
started all the trouble between Mr.
and Mrs.* Charles Zieba.
“When I was a bride about six
years ago,” Mrs. Zieba told the
court today, “I bak'ed a pie for
my husband. He ate it but when
he was through he shoved back from
the table, looked at me queerly and
said:
“That is not like the pie my moth
er used to make. In fact, it’s ter
rible.
“We had a few words but the in
cident was never mentioned after
the next day. Early this morning
Charles came home in a condition
that no respectable ' married man
should be in. I met him in the
kitchen and turned on the cold wa
ter to get a drink.
“All of a sudden he pounced on
me, shoved my head under the tap
and beat me. I screamed for help
and was rescued by neighbors and
police. After he had sobered up a
bit, I asked him what it was all
about.
“Just as if you didn’t know,” he
replied. “Have you forgotten that
pie you made six years ago? Well
I’ve had indigestion ever since.”
And Zieba went to jail to serve out
a $25 fine for mistreating his wife.

“I could not sleep and got so nerv

Vinol, I can sleep 10 hour's and feel
full of pep all day.”—Julius Bender.
For 30 years doctors have prescrib
ed Vinol because it contains impor
tant mineral elements of iron, cal
cium and cod liver peptone. The very
FIRST bottle brings sound sleep and
a BIG appetite. Nervous, worn-out
people are surprised how QUICK Vi

Georgia’s constitution provides a
60-day limitation of a regular
session of the legislature, but a
legislative body called in special ses
sion may adjourn at its own will.
Only when the two houses disagree
as to adjourning time has the gov
ernor the right to adjourn a special
session, it was said at the capitol
today.
RUM RUNNER HURLS TACKS
IN ROAD TO STOP PURSUERS
JESUP, Ga.—Rum runners of
South Georgia have adopted a new
weapon. Tacks, large size carpet
tacks and roofing tacks are now
being used to stop pursuers.
Yesterday Sheriff L. W. Rogers
tried to stop a liquor runner here,
but the street was too wide and the
runner ran around the officer’s car.
The sheriff gave chase. The run
ner stepped on the gas; so did the
sheriff. Both were going at a mile a
minute speed about two miles out of
town.
Then the sheriff noted a hand go
out from the side of the liquor run
ner’s car and something that glis
tened was heaved into the roadway.
The sheriff picked up five of these
tacks in his tires and then abandoned
the chase.
