Attention Baptists
The month of February will lie
giu a campaign for raising SIOO,
000.00 to build a great liaptis hos
pital for the purpose of helping the
sick and needy in their cry for help.'
Every member of our denomi
nation in Georgia, is asked to con
tribute through his or her church,
whatever sum they are able to give,
wheather it be large or small.
The object is to have a place
where those that are not able to pay
for an operation or to be eared for
in sickness can go and be cared for
at small or no cost at ail. It is
therefore an opportunity lor every
Baptist to play the part of “The
Good Samaritan,” by providing a
place w here the sick can be cared
for.
Ask your pastor about the hos
pital. Write to J. 8. McLemore,
1009 Candler building, Atlanta,
Ga., for information. Send any
cash or subscription to Dr. J. J.
Bennett, 1009 Candler building,
Atlanta, Ga. If all do their part,
we will haveithe $100.00.000 given
in cash and subscriptions, in the
month of Februaiy. It will be a
great victory for the ease of Christ.
May we not count on every Baptist
to do his duty! May the suffering
have your help and may you haye
His blessing.
We come in His name,
•I. 8. MoLkmokk,
Financial Secretary.

Hn Mlemorlam—William Wilson J'inlo?
Th Board of Director* of Southern Railway Company
having assembled In special meeting thia firat day of De
camber, 1913, and being advised of the death, at his home
In Washington on Novsmber 25, 1913. of William Wilson
Finlay, for ths past seven years President of Southern
Railway Company, adopts the following minute to be
spread on ths records of the Company and to b published
in the newspapers of the South.
WILLIAM WILSON FINLEY was born at Pass
Christian. Mississippi, on September 2, 1858, and en
tered railway service in New Orleans in 1878. During
the succeeding twenty-two years he had a varied expe
rience, earning steady promotion and a growing repu
tation, in the traffic departments of several railroads
and in charge of traffic associations, in the west and
southwest. In 1895, soon after the organization of
Southern Railway Company, he began, as Third Vice-
President in charge of traffic, his service for this Com
pany in which, with an interval of a few months in
1898, be continued until his death eighteen years later.
He became President of this Company in December,
1906, at a moment when the work of gathering in and
welding together its lines into a consolidated system
had been done. The map had been made. There are
no more miles of railroad included in the system today
than there were when he became President His task
was, therefore, complementary to the work already done
and the history' of the development of the property
during the past seven years is the history of how he
conceived and accomplished that task of conservation
and progressive development. During his administra
tion the revenues of the Company increased 20.95 per
cent, (comparing 1918 with 1907). but what is even
more his achievement, the balance of income available
for dividend (but largely put back into the property)
increased 209 07 j er cent.
This record of material success is in no small meas
ure the result of Mr. Finley’s policy and practice of
building and strengthening a working organization of
the Company so far as concerns personnel. He inaug
urated and steadfastly enforced a rule of promotion
to fill vacancies within the organization, by recognition
of demonstrated merit, with the result that he secured
and conserved that loyal identification with the inter
est of the South and of the Company, and that sense
of personal responsibility in all ranks of the service,
which is one of the-most valuable assets the Company
has today.
On the public side of his responsibility Mr. Finley
developed largely during the past seven years. Con
vinced of the duty of accepting the changed conditions
in respect of the administration of industry incident
to the governmental policy of regulation of the rail
ways by public authority, he was nevertheless keenly im
pressed with the apparent lack of understanding on
the part of the public of the problems of railway man
agement He. therefore, devoted much of his time to
the discussion of such questions before representative
audiences in all parts of the country, but chiefly in
the South, and the effect upon public opinion of his
frank, straightforward and manly utterances and pa
tiently iterated doctrine has been long recognized, but
was remarkably demonstrated by the expressions which
have lieen received since his death from public bodies
throughout the South. He did much in this way to
correct a sentiment from which all railway property
has suffered in recent years —a sentiment which has
found its expression in an erroneous belief that a rail
way takes from the public more than it gives, and his
effort in word and deed was to restore a just balance
of understanding of the economic necessity, to every
citizen in his daily life, of a well maintained, honestly
administered and prosperous transportation system.
In other ways also lie gave expression to a broad
view of the indentitv of interest between the welfare of
the railways and that of the public. He lent active
co-operation to the chief educational, industrial and
commercial interests of the South, and a moral support
to every movement which is making for the welfare of
the South, but perhaps his greatest service .of this na
ture was his successful campaign for the promotion of
better agriculture.
Gently born and gently bred, it was Mr. Finley’s
fortune to be thrown upon his own resources at an
early age and without the advantages of a university
training and experience usually enjoyed by his asso
ciates: it was, therefore, a peculiar satisfaction to him
and to his friends that in 1910 he received, with the
assurance that it was no mere decoration, a degree of
Doctor of Laws from Tulane University at New Or
leans, the principal seat of learning in the community
where he had spent his youth.
On the personal side, Mr. Finley was essentially a
gentleman: he demonstrated on many occasions the
combination in his character of those qualities which
may be expressed by the words modesty and courage.
He was fair and just in all his dealings, courteous to
all men, slow to anger, but fierce in his resentment of
Injustice in others. Partisan in his love for and belief
in the South and its future and in the Southern Rail
way as an important factor in that community, be con
vinced his associates that he never allowed partisan
feeling to colour his judgment to such an extent that
be could not always see the other side: but a policy once
determined be set about its accomplishment with a
characteristic belief in the potency of persistence and
an unhesitating use of all the power at his command.
He had at all times the confidence, the respect and
the good will of this Board and of every member of
it, and in his death the Board and every member of it
feels the loss of a friend of charming personal qualities
as well as an official associate of commanding ability.
The Secretary Is directed to express to ths surviving
members st Mr. Finley’s family the respectful sympithy
of this Board and to transmit to them a suitably en
grossed and attested transcript of this minute.
