THE ASSOCIATION
ill
All of the Old Officers were Re-Elect
ed—Report of Executive Commit
tee Shows That all of the Churches
in the Bounds of the Association
are Increasing In Membership.
(From Wednesday’s Dally.)
The Valdosta Baptist Association
which convened at Hahlra yesterday
morning, was very largely attended,
In fact parties who returned from
•there last night, say that more dele
gates, ministers and visitors were
present than have ever before atten
ded a session of the Association.
Representative delegations went from
both the First Baptist and Taber
nacle churches of this city.
The first day was devoted largely
to organization and the election of
officers and committees. Rev. B. F.
Elliott, of Valdosta, wag elected mod
erator; Rev. Graham Forrester, of
Milltown, clerk; Mr. W. B. Fender,
of Valdosta, treasurer, and Mr. D. A.
Denmark, of Valdosta, chairman of
finance committee.
Rev. Mr. Crosby, pastor of the Adel
Baptist church, preached the intro
ductory sermon, and It Is spoken of
as one of unusual power. Many of
those present say It was one of the
very best sermons they ever heard.
The sermon came immediately after
the call for delegates and letters to
the association.
A very bountiful dinner was served
on the lot adjoining the church, and
as usual with the people of Hahlra,
it was quite a feast. The abundance
of food was splendidly cooked and
served, and notwithstanding the
crowd which partook of it was very
large, there was enough left to hare
fed hundreds of others.
The afternoon session of the asso
ciation was devoted largely to the
appointment of the various commit
tees In charge of the different depart
ments of assoctatlonal work. These
committees, or a majority of them
will make their reports today.
The report of the executive com
mittee, showing the work which had
been done on the field during the
year, was said to have been most In
teresting. There was a good show
ing made from almost every church
and section in the bounds of the as
sociation. ^
The reading of the various letters
from the Individual churches was an
interesting feature of the proceed
ings. In these letters are generally
given fujl statistics of the work done
by each church during the assocla-
tlonal year. The letters yesterday
showed that most of the churches
have enjoyed a substantial growth
in almost every line of work. Sev
eral churches that had almost gotten
to the point of disbanding, had been
revived and are now In a prosperous
condition.
The mission work has shown a
very rapid growth during the year.
In this particular department the
Woman’s Missionary Societies have
been strong factors.
A feature of the meeting was the
splendid sermon of Dr. J. D.-Chapman,,
which was delivered last night. The
church was crowded to its capacity,
and close attention was paid to the
discourse.
It Is probable that the association
will conclude Its work and adjourn
tomorrow morning. Nothing develop
ed yesterday as to when or where
the next session would he held.
Thompson Acquitted of Murder.
J. T. Thompson, of Ochlocknee,
Ga., who was on trial for two days
at Thomasville, charged with the
murder of G. M. Bullock, at Ochlock
nee last June, was acquitted on Tues-
iday afternoon, the Jury being out
only a few minutes.
Owing to the prominence of the
parties an unusual interest has been
manifested throughout the county
since the unfortunate tragedy took
place. Three pannels were exhaust
ed In getting the Jury.
The case was a hard fought one,
the defense deciding after the state’s
witnesses had been sworn, not to
put up any witnesses themselves, pre
ferring to have the closing speech.
Brown Declared 8ane.
Savannah, Ga.. Oct 28.—Yesterday
afternoon W. B. Brown, a local at>
torney was given a hearing before a
lunacy Jury In the court of ordinary
and after a long trial was declared
sane. Brown’s wife had him arrested.
When taken in custody It was be
lieved that he had been drinking too
much for bis own good.
They Will be put to Work on the
Roads on November the 2nd.
(From Tuesday's Dally.)
Tift county’s misdemeanor convict*
will be put to work on the public
roads Nov. 2nd.
The board of county commission
ers let the contract a few days since
to iMr. James McGlrt, of Sylvester,
for three road wagons for the county
convicts, to be used ns camp head
quarters when the convicts are put
to work on the public roads which
will he done the first of November
The wagons will he modeled after
those in use in Berrien and Irwin
counties, two cell wagons, for the
male convicts, and one cook wagon,
for the female convicts or guards.
The wagons are to be completed
at the earliest date possible, and the
three will cost $750.
Mr. J. M. Davis, who has done
such efficient road wofk in the past,
and who resigned a few weeks ago
to accept the place of practical far
mer at the Agricultural School, has
reconsidered the matter, and will re
main in charge of the county road
work for the present.
It is probable that, temporary ar
rangements will he made to quarter
the county convicts at the camp of
Stokes. Parrish & Co., until the wag
ons are completed.
When the commissioners Investi
gated the matter last year, they de
cided that the county roads could bo
worked cheaper by hired labor and
machinery, at the price the convicts
could then be leased, but the recent
action of the prison commission gives
them no choice in the case, and the
convicts must be worked on the
roads, regardless of expense.
For the present, at least, Tift coun
ty will ask for no state convicts.
The Elks T/>dge decided last night
to have a splendid social session one
evening during the meeting of the
Federation of Woman’s clubs, the
club^women to be guests of honor.
Committees were appointed to ar
range the affair, which promises to
he one of the most elegant Valdosta
ha* ever had. Each Elk is expected
to buy tickets, which entitles him to
carry one lady. Complimentary tick
ets will be provided the club women.
Quite a number of delegates from
MHltown and other places, stopped
over In the city last night enroute tg
the Valdosta Association which be
gan its sessions at Hahlra today.

Mors Convicts for the Roads.
(From Tuesday’s Dally.)
County Commissioner J. W. Hagan
stated this morning that he was look
ing for twelve misdemeanor convicts
from the state to be put to work on
the roads of this county. The pres*
•nt equipment of the gang oan easily
accommodate that many more and It
would ho cheaper to work a large
number than a small one. The com
missioners have also asked the state
for forty felony convicts and It is
quite probable that they will he sup
plied.
Mr. Hagan expects to attend a
meeting of the county commissioners
of the state together with members of
the prison commission, In Atlanta on
November the 6th. The object of
that meeting If to discuss the con
vict questions, the working of the
roads and other matters.
r. George Camp, of White
Springs, is In the city today on busi
ness.
Should bo a Large Vote.
(From Tuesday’s Dally.)
Every democrat in Ijowndcs county
ought to take the time to vote next
Tuesday, even If he has to go a long
ways to reach a voting place. The
republicans are trying to cut down
the South’s representation In Con
gress and they use the small votes
that are polled In the South to streng
then their argument. The larger our
vote the better It will be for our sec
tion of country.
Besides that, our candidates are
worthy of our votes. Bryan for pres
ident and Brantley for Congress have
proven themselves to be fit represen
tatives of the people. It should be
a pleasure to vote for them, and
every democrat should do what he
can to get out the full vote of tho
county. A thousand majority for the
democratic ticket would be becoming
In Lowndes county. Let’s do It
Mr. F. D. Dlsmukes, Jr., of Thom-
asvllle, Is here on business today.

Co., at that place, was destroyed by

Tho gin caught Ore Saturday af

Hon of fire breaking out again. Ev
erything appeared sgfe and the*
watchers retired to sleep, but thera
was evidently smouldering flames
somewhere, and at an early bamr
Sunday morning they broke aJC

insurance of $3,000 was canted.—
