Notwithstanding the very

ADDRESS DEALT
WITH VITAL MATTERS.
The address dealt with the vital
matter of Christian Education in
several phases of its modem adapt
ations. Not only the Sunday
School, and the church, its Sab
bath day ministries, bUl the larger
application of the Kingdom forces
to all days, and all situations, en*
gaged the thought of the meeting.
Many communities are now pro
jecting the principles of Christian
ity i into the week-day life of itt
young people, and regard this ad*,
vance as absolutely essential to
any proper response to the needs
and claims of this generation of
i r youth.
A&er full consideration and due
counsel, it was aecided to defer
the formal organization ‘ of the
movement tiH next Sunday after
noon, at • $ o’clock. At that time
all the Sunday School workers
of the Athens Methodist churches
are called to meet at the First
Methodist church to hear more
about the movement and to con
stitute formal organization of the
Sunday School forces, for the work
contemplated. It is earnestly
urged that all the Sunday School
workers designated shall make a
special effort to be present and
iake part in the vrganization, and
get in line for the aggressive Sun
day School movement in whose
interest the 1 meeting is called.

Affairs of Augusta” the AugustaIStoLw
Herald carried this week a story 24 P oln ^ n r
of Howard M. Holden, young son °“ to 27 ' 33 or 12 pom,s below
of Judge and Mrs. H. M. Holden,
of Athens. The story is as.follows:
HOWARD M. HOLDEN
Youn& aggressive, and enter
prising, Howard i M. Holden has at
the age of 27, established himself
as owner of a thriving Ford agen
cy, which is growing by leaps and
bounds as the automobile gains in
popularity. (Mr. Holden has been
in Augusta but 18 months, yet dur
ing that time has placed his busi
ness on such a substantial footing
that it is recognized as one of the
largest and most thriving concerns
in Augusta.
The Howard >Holden Motor Com
pany owns a large plant on the
500 block of Broad street, where
in addition to the large show
rooms where Fords are exhibited,
an up-to-date garage is operated.
The' garage handles authorized
Ford parts, and Is a fully author
ized member of the big Ford
chain.
The show rooms and large dis
play windows are attractive with
the various displays of Ford cars
apjl Fordson Tractors. ‘ His ability
as a salesman and an automobile
man is evidenced by the constant
ly increasing business enjoyed by
the Howard Holden Motor Com
pany.
Mr. Holden was born in Craw
ford ville Georgia on July 3, 1896.
He is now 27 years of age. He is
married and has one child.
Mr. Holden is the owner of the
Howard Holden Motor Company
He is a member of the Shrine Club
and also, an Elk. His church affil
iation is with the Presbyterian.
A picture of Mr. Holden accom
panied the story.
points below
yesterdays closing quotation. But
the selling tapered off at these
figures and when some of the
early sellers attempted to cover,
they found comparatively few
contracts offered. . There were
sharp rallies in consequence.
Reassuring reports from the
Near East combined with bullish
southern spot advices started a
covering movement early in the
afte*-noon which quickly sent up
to 28.34 for May and 25.43 for Oc
tober or 30 to 43 points net higher.
The market was 10 to 12 points
oft fro mthe best around 2 o’clock
wit hlrading quieter but the tone
steady.

In the afternoon the market
made fruther advances following
the- posting of the weekly statis

for the week at 229,000 bales
against 177,000 this week last year
and the total visible supply of
American cotton at 2,955,069 bales
