BAPTISTS ARE CELEBRATING
The Baptists of Alabama and Virginia are celebrat
ing this week their hundredth anniversary, Alabama
at Montgomery and Virginia at Richmond.
The Moultrie Observer in speaking of these occa
sions says:
One hundred years ago there were only about
forty thousand Baptists in Virginia, both white
and colored, including one thousand in what is
now West Virginia, but today there are 207,915
white Baptists affiliated with the general asso
ciation and 272,085 negro Baptists, making a to
tal of 480,000 members all told, an increase for
the century of 1,200 per cent.
In Alabama the growth has been even more
marked. One hundred years ago there were
five thousand Baptists in that state, but today
the number is 600,000, an increase for the cen
tury of 12,000 per cent. Of this number 380,000
are negro Baptists, .260,000 are white Baptists
Co-operating with the state convention and 16,-
000 are unaffiliated with Baptists.
Interesting exercises will be held during the week,
one of the main'features being to urge the Baptists
of these states to bring up the collections on the 75-
million campaign.

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR CARDS
The custom of sending Christmas and New Year
cnrds as rememberances to our friends is a most beau
tiful and appropriate one at the holiday season, the
ending of the old and the commencement of the new
year. This custom has been in vogue from time im-
memorable and it will live ro long as time lasts just
ns Santa Claus will live in the minds and hearts of the
little children.
The post office department, however, not wishing
tp discourage in the least this custom, of ages, but
for the convenience of the employees and for the
safety or certainty of the delivery to the person in
tended, the officilas are calling upon those who intend
sending such remembrances that they make their se
lections from uniform sizes and not the freal'.bli kind
The greeting card of unusual size and dimension is
inconvenient for the mails and often they become
broken or mutilated and their beauty destroyed
through handling in the mails.
Just as a reminder—it will be appreciated by the
post office officials and at the same time insure bet
ter service and more safety if these cards are selected
■with Urtt point in view. It is not too early to com
mence your Christmas and New Year selections now.
of cards and presents. Many of the merchants have
their stocks on hand and the sooner the purchaser
— avails himself of the opportunity the more satisfac
tory will be his Christmas and New Yfar remem-
— brances.
IT IS TIME FOR CONCERTED ACTION
The general assembly is organized and tax mea
sures are being introduced and the time has arrived
for concerted action on the part of the, members of
both branches of the legislature. The session is un-
““ der way and nothing should be allowed to deter the
work of formulating and passing a tax measure which
. will be just, equitable and fair to all interests of the
state and at the .same, time .provide for a sufficient
income for the support and maintenance of the va
rious departments and for the higher educational in
stitutions of the state.
There may be slight differences in the views of
the members of the legislature as to the form of tax
ation and of the character of the measures presented,
but there should be no delay in coming to some oon-
, elusion of a constructive character which will give
to the state a tax meaaurt full and complete for its
j needs. The general belifef is that a measure will be
L agreed upon immediately and that its passage is
only a matter of time in which to arrange details and
make minor amendments thereto.. It ig to be.hoped
lime iilis imurmauuu ia i eimulc «liu that ucfOtv -the
close of the week, there will be agreed upon a mea
sure, which will meet the views of the representatives
and at the same time create for the state an income
sufficient'fqr its needs.
Governor Walker is devoting the best that there
is in him to bring about such a condition and to keep
harmony among the representatives in both branches
of the legislature in order that there may be no
serious disagreements and logger-heads at the last
momenta when the measure is presented for its final
passage. The question of framing a tax measure for
the State of Georgia ia an important undertaking. It
should be considered well and without undue haste,
hut it should not be treated as a joke and a matter on
which the extra session can be carried on for weeks
and weeks. The tax payers of Georgia will applaud
the law-makers if they act quickly and act wisely and
save the state from unnecessary expense by contin
uing the session over a reasonable time in which the
rk should be done. '

’by eating bakings that
are made from good

able baking powder must
be employed or you do
not get the full nutritious

The same results cannot
be had if you use Self Rising
Flours, or any so called
ready-to-use substitute for
plain flour and good baking
powder. Food authorities
and physicians agree that bak

are bad for the health. Such
foods are hard to digest and
in time cause stomach trouble.
Mothers who are interested in
the profier growth and health of
their children (and all mothers
are) should never use anything
hnt a good -.brand of plain flour
and a time-tested leavener such
as Calumet—the economy Baking
Powder.
Calumet has more than the ordi

every baking to its height of nutri

there is none.'
Use Calumet and be positive of whole

BROWN WOULD FREE
ARSENATE FROM DUTY
ATLANTA, Ga.—J. J. Brown,
State Commissioner of Agricul
ture, has recently Addressed let
ters to the senators and congress*
men from all the cotton growing
States urging them to submit leg
islation to amend the tariff act so
fts to make calcium arsenate free
from the high duty now imposed
Upon if. Calcium arsenate Is nec
essary In fighting the boll weevil,
Mr. Brown said and the present
high duty of 25 per cent which is
on it st present/ being placed upon
it at the last MMrioaf, .was placed
there unintentionally as a natural
confusion over the similarity of
chemical terms bringing about the i
error, contends Mr. Brown. The I
use of calcium arsenate has been
taught the farmers throughout
Die cotton growing states and is
the principal weapon against the
boll weevil. Mr. Brown argues in
his letter, giving data both from
the state and federal authorities.
