BUILDCK miT-THRDW SMT TO ®! Developements at State Con-: vention Indicate Compromise to Beat Brown BY SAJU.X.ES BMAICK. MACON. Ga.. Aug. 27. —Developments over Tuesday indicate beyond a doubt that the contest tor commissioner of ag riculture which will come before the state Democratic convention Wednesday is now between J. J. Brown, of Bow man. Elbert county, arid J. D. Price, of ; Farmington. Oconee county. A- O. Bla lock. of Fayetteville. Fayette county. has formed a combination with Price and these two are bending every effort to defeat Brown. It is not regarded as probable that Blalocks name will go before the convention. In fact, he and Price are known to have gotten together several days ago. Under the terms of . the agreement it is said Blalock will throw all of the convention strength he can control to Price. In consideration of this service on the part of Blalock. Candidate Price is said to have agreed in the event of his election to name an assistant commissioner of agriculture acceptable to Blalock. However, it is a question whether Blalock can deliver his votes to Price., He and his close friends Tuesday afternoon and evening sounding out the delegates. All three of the candidates for com missioner of agriculture have opened headquarters tn the Lanier hotel. Ac cording to the official figures Brown will go into the convention with 150 votes of counties carried by him; Price. IJB. and Blalock. 84. It is said that Blalock's plans are not to release any doubtful delegates, but to switch all ( he can rely upon to Price. Whether he | can deliver to Price a sufficient majority of his votes to defeat Brown is doubt- ! fuL Not only has Brown the best of the contest in the number of conven tion votes, but his strength isgreatly augmented . by the support of all the fertilizer manufacturers of the state, many of whom are delegates to the, convention. Thos who are not delegates are here working like beavers to elect Brown also, who is favored by fhomas Watson and his friends in the conven tion. , It really appears that Brown has a i moot decided advantage over his oppon ents, but it remains to be seen what will be the result of the Blaloek-Price combination.

WEJo W&fev : V. w Golden Vexts Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the erown of life. Bev. 2:10. After His return from Nazareth to Capernaum Jesus sent His disciples out two by tw'o giving them authority to cast out devils and heal the sick. They went out on this journey; the work which they accomplished created such a stir that the news of it reached Herod the king, in his palace. A year before this he had been in another one of his palaces in southern Palestine; he had gone there to protect himself because of the opposition which had been arous ed by his action. He hud divorced his wife, who was the daughter of King Aretus. and had taken his sister-in-law in unlawful wedlock. King Aretus was very much angered, and the people of Israel were about to be thrown into a state of war, with all that that means, because of his foolish and sinful act. John the Baptist had boldly denounced his sin, and had incurred the anger of Herodias, his unlawful wife. At her in stigation he had been put in prison, where for more than a tear he had re mained restive under liis confinement. Herodias' hatred had been constant and accumulative. Time and again during the period of confinement Herod had wished-to release John, for he was very popular with the people, but he had been afraid to incur his wife’s displeasure, and had placed him back again in pris on each time. Herodias, however, had made up her mind to get even with John, and to get rid of one who could be so troublesome to her. Finally her opportunity came on Herod's birthday. I have no doubt but that she arranged and suggested the entertainment with that purpose in view. At any rate after the evening’s entertainment was over, in the presence of the nobility and when all were inflam ed with wine, she sent her daughter, Sa lome. into the banquet room to dance before these drunken men. How bitter must have been her hatred that she was willing to sacrifice her daughter in order to obtain her end! The costume and .movements of the dancer were calculated to excite these drunken men, and under this Influence Herod made a rash promise; that he would give her anything that she de sired. even to a half of his kingdom. Had he been sober he would probably not have made the promise without cal culating what it cost him. When she stated her request, had he been a man instead of a weakling he would have re fused to have granted so foolish a re quest. A good deal has been said about the Salome dance, but any one who has ever investigated the question knows that the origin of the dance amongst all less civilized people is the same as that by which Herodias acquired her end. Prompted by her mother, Salome asked for the head of John the Baptist on a 1 charger, which was shortly accomplished. Three Tiny Children Left to Starve in a - York Tenement (By AuocHled Press.) NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Three tiny children, almost dead from starvation, were found by the police early today, huddled upon a pile of rags in a desert ed apartment on East 101st street.

Delegates from Clayton (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) JONESBORO. Ga., Aug. 27.—The fol lowing delegates will represent Clayton county at the state convention at Macon: J. W. Mundy and O. J. Coogler Herod won her point after more than a year’s scheming, even at the cost of her daughter’s honor and of being a murderer herself. Herod had revealed his weakness in not doing what was right because he feared the people, and in continuing to do what was wrong be cause he feared his wife. John had lost his life. No, he had saved his life, by his boldness in denouncing sin, even though it was in the highest places In the kingdom. Backbone is always costly. Paul wrote to. Timothy that all who would live gojlly must suffer persecution. It may not always take the form of murder as in this instance, but in our day it will probablyS take some form which is harder to bear. There are cases today which require backbone just as in John’s day. There are sins to be denounced in high places. It will cost' something to any man who exercises the boldness of John. John might have kept his mouth shut and lived a few years longer; but he did right, he did that ■which was for the good of his peo ple, for Herod’s good. He saved his life in losing it. Now, when Herod heard the report of the work which had been done by these men, his stricken conscience made him feel that it was none other than John the Baptist risen from the dead. His courtiers tried to dissuade him from the view, but he could account for it In no other way. He did not realize that Jesus had given these men authority and that the work which they were doing in His name was even more wonderful than what he thought, namely the works of a ghost. Do you realize that the men who ac complished these works, the report of which caused such a stir, were men like unto ourselves? They were just ordinary men, but men who trusted and obeyed Jesus Christ. If you trust and obey Him, He can work through you as He did through them so as to make other men take notice. They will probably give just as erroneous an explanation of the reason for the result In the life as Herod and his courtiers did in this instance.' but It will be nevertheless true that you can bring them to the point where they must acknowledge that God still works in and through men. Let me ask you a few questions which may God help you to answer. Are you like Herod, temporizing and trying to please everyone on the ground of experi ence, afraid to do what you know is right because you want to please the pebple, or this one or the other? Like Herodias are you willing to sacrifice everyone to attain your end? Have you the backbone of John? Are you letting Jesus Christ work through your life so that other men cannot get away from the Idea that, it must be God working in you? Are you making other men think of Jesus by the way you live?
