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.

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.

A depend able baking powder must be employed or you do not get the full nutritious value of the wheat—nor will your bakings be as pal atable and easily digested. 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 ings that do not raise properly 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 nary leavening strength. It raises every baking to its height of nutri tious value. It is pure and depend able —do not look for a substitute— there is none.' Use Calumet and be positive of whole some nutritious and economical foods.

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. PIERCE ADVOCATE LEADED ATLANTA—Dr. A. M.
