GREAT BAPTIST
MEETING.
It Was Held at Naylor Yesterday
There was Much Enthusiasm and
the Largest Crowd Ever Seen at an
Association in This Section—The
Work That was Done and
Royal Treatment of the Naylor
People.
One of the greatest meetings of
, Baptists ever seen at an Association
in this section of the state was held
at Naylor yesterday, when about one
thousand people gathered from the
territory which is to embrace the
new association.
Dr. S. Y. Jameson, of Atlanta, Sec
retary of the Mission Board of the
Georgia Baptist Convention, was
made temporary chairman. After
the adoption of a constitution, artl«
cles of faith and rules of order, per
manent organization was effected
with the election of the following
officers:
E. P. S. Denmark, Moderator;
Rev. G. Tom West, Vice-Moderator;
Georgo L. Patterson, Clerk and A.
A. Webb, Treasurer. The executive
committee was chosen as follows:
Rev. L. R. Christie, J. T. Corbett,
W. H. McKinnon, M. S. Patten, Ed.
L. Thomas, J. H. Bostick and Dr.
A. H. Culpepper.
An Assoclational Missionary move
ment of large proportions was Inau
gurated, and in response to a stir
ring appeal from Rev. L. R. Christie,
subscriptions from the churches of
$2,000 was made to carry on the
work of this department for the
next twelve month':.
The executive committee was in
structed to employ two strong mis
sionary evangelists and put them in
the territory to work among the
weaker churches and destitute dis
tricts.
An interesting feature of the day
was the discussion In reference to a
name for the new association. Sev
eral names were proposed, but fin
ally, after much good natured dis
cussion, the messengers declared
that the body should be known ai
“The Valdosta Baptist Association’
—the name being voted by dele
gates from the other churches.
A resolution was adopted endors
lng the movement to establish a de
nominational High School at Mill-
town, and a board of fifteen trustees
was elected to hold the property
and direct the movement to this
end. It Is expected that the plans
% will be consummated and the school
ready for operation at the opening
of the fall term next year.
The association was In session
all day, though the work was push
ed along rapidly by Moderator Den
mark. At night Rev. B. M. Peck, qf
Atlanta, preached a sermon of great
power.
While the association was doing
its work, the ladles had a mooting
in the Methodist church them and
organized a District Missionary
Union, which also starts out upon a

A Distinction In the 8chools.
Editor Valdosta Times:
In your Issue of the 24th In refer
ence to the Hnhlra school and my
self, you stato that I had charge of
the preparatory department of Mer
cer before Its removal from Penflcld.
Now this would make me consid
erable older than I nm willing to
concede, notwithstanding I am a
married man and the “old lady"
still In her usual good health. It Is
true I was tor many years principal
of Mercer High School, established
at Penfield after the University was
moved to Macon.
I ask this correction on my own
account, ns a man of my age could
scarcely have been a pedagogue for
ty years ago. Very truly,
