Convention of North Georgia Con
ference Held Here-
GATHERING OF NOBLE WOMEN-
Work of Convention Extended
Through Three Days—Officers
Elected for Ensuinz Year.
For several days preceding' the
coming of the Home Mission con
vention of the societies of the
North Georgia Conference to Car
tersville, the iadies of the auxiliary
chapter were making great prep
aration for their reception and en
tertainment during the four days
of their stay in the city.
The church was simply but very
prettily decorated and the m#uy
attractive homes thrown open to re
ceive the delegates were unusual
ly bright and pretty with spring
flowers on the Thursday evening
of their coming. A committee of
ladies met the northbound, train at
Acworth to welcome and supply
with the white ribbon badges
which distinguished them during
their visii to us, the two cars full
of delegates. This committee was
composed of Mrs. John W. Akin,
Mrs. L- S. Munford, Mrs. H. E.
Cary and Mrs S.un P Jones, and
they were escorted by Kev. S.un
Jones.
When the tiain reached Carters
ville another party of ladies among
whom were Mrs J. W. Jones, Miss
Mamie Wikle and Mrs. D. B-
Freeman were waiting, and the
deleg ites wete again welcomed and
shown to the numerous carriages
that waited to convey them to the
homes of their hostesses.
At 7:30 Thursday evening a large
crowd was assembled at the church
to hear the welcoming addresses
First the son of our mayor, Mr.
Hugh Ford, made a charmingly
cordial talk welcoming the conven
tion to cur town. Then followed
some very hearty greetings from
our beloved pastor, Rev. George
W. Yarbrough —a greeting from
the church.
Mrs. D. B. Freeman, the Dalton
district secretary expressed the
pleasure of the district societies at
having them come to us; and Miss
Mamie Wikle in behalf of the Car
tersville society of Home Mission
extended to them a gracious recep
tion.
The way in which Mrs. S. R.
Eelk responded to these greetings
was charming. Then came a gen
eral old-fashioned Methodist hand
shaking which was very thorough
ly enjoyed.
On Friday morning at nine o’clock
the convention met for their first
business session in the Methodist
church and called to order by the
president, Mrs. W. B. Higgin
botham and Mrs. Luke Johnson,
the secretary.
Each bi s ness session was given
to the reports of the various otn
cers and workers of the noble and
devoted body of women and each
of these came in forceful evidence
of the magnificent and zealous
work that is being carried on by
them among the poor and desti
tute suffering families of our state
as well as the spiritual work among
the fallen and depraved.
Some one said “it* was an intel
lectual treat and a spiritual feast to
attend upon the sessions of this
convention,” and that just about
expresses the verdict of all who
were so fortunate as to be in con
tact with these good women.
Mrs. Belk was the best speaker,
but our own Mrs. Felton read the
paper that captured the prize.
Mrs. Hammond, secretary of the
General Board of the Home Miss
ion Society, and Mrs. McDonald,
first vice president >A the General
Board, completely won the au
dience every time either of them
talked,
Mrs, Luke Johnson was perhaps
the most graceful and read* wo
man on the floor. Mrs Nixon,-
who maintains a most useful kin
dergarten in Atlanta hersell, read
one of the most interesting and
clever papers of the convention
and she is one of the most useful
of the Home Mission workers.

Meeting Held at the Court House
Last Saturday.
REV- SAM P. JONES SPEAKS-j
Over Fifty Names Enrolled From
Those Present—Col. Montgom
ery Is Elected Chairman.
Pursuant to a call issued a few
days before, a Guerry rally was
■held Saturday and though the
weather was dinip and inclement
it did not prevent the gathering of
a good crowd of Bartow’s citizens
at the court house for the purpose
of organizing a Guerry club.
Col. J. G. M. Montgomery was
elected chairman of the club, and
John T. Norris, Secretary. On tak
ing the stand Col. M migomery
f hanked the members for the honor
bestowed upon him and sta ed that
if the chief requisite of the presid
ing officer of the club was his per
sonal interest in the Hon. DuPont
Guerry and nis lace for the gover
or pf Georgia that he would be
compelled to admit his fitness for
the position. The chairman th'ii
declared the meeting open and i
Capt. T. J. Lvon was called for. i
Capt. Lyon explained briefly the !
object of the meeting and moved '
iu.it at me e'ose uiomc present

the Guerry club by subscribing
their names with the secretary.
This motion pre\ ailed and Capt.

pom Guerry and ho h >pe for his
success in the race for governor of
Georgiy, introduced the Rev. Sam
P. Jones.
-Mr. Jones took the stand and
stated that he appreciated the op
portunity of speaking when his
whole heart, soul qnd idigioti were
wrapped up in the issues of the
present gubernatorial campaign.
In his own inimitable wav lie scor
ed anti-prohibitionisis ; nd design
ing politicians for their corrupt
methods in raising and using cam
paign funds. Liquor men, he
asserted, would furnish the men
they were running with any amount
of campaign money they wanted
and once caught in this trap the
political bird wtuld argue that
having been in office so long lie
should be allowed to stay longer.
He likened the scene to a dog and
cat race and said you needn’t tell
tell him which way a cat was run
ning if he could see the dog. Mr.
Jones said he wanted a man gov
ernor of Georgia who was not sun
ply willing to approve any biil in
tavor of local option that might he
parsed by the legislature but one
that would use his influence with
the legislature to prevent the pas
sage of such legislation; nor did he
want one that anybody couid ride
without bridie or saddle. The
speaker vvasfor Mr. Guerry because
he was a man and not a politician
who sought the odice and its influ
e. ee, because be would not get one
cent of money f- ■ a the liquor
dealers, because \< u o n not ride

he had never done anythii g for his
pirty. Guerry, lie declared, is the
man in Georgia who has then all
scared, is making votes every day,
will con in.ie in increase until
election is held and “beat the whole
gang out.” “If you know anything
against him get up and sav it.
In conoluMoh Mr. Jones sla’ed
that he wanted to barony coun
ty gi'’e Guerry a majorPv of Sooor
1000 and thus avoid the calling of
an election on the whiskey ques
tion. Quoting fr mi a letter trom
the Hon. Walter B Hill asking
him to come out llat footed for
Guerry he .said ‘ lie is tiie clean

in Georgia today." “ T am for
him." said Mr. Junes k “because \?
realizes the power and responsibil
ity of the office he seeks, because
he stands for something, because
he stands against something, be
cause he is something."
Mr. Jones’ speech was punctua
ted by cheers and at the close over
fifty authorized the enrollment of
their names as members of the
Guerry club.
