; s ;tor From Cartersville Writes of
I Her Trip.
l: A UTIES of the exposition.
Bnterestinß Account of the Partv
■ Wnich Recently Spent a Week.
■ in Charleston,
H Recently a crowd of Cartersville
Beopie went to Charleston to at-
BeiKl the exposition. The party
Bonsisted of Mr. and Mrs. A. B.
Bunyiis, Mr. and Mrs. Albert
B tr i c kiandi Mr. aud Mrs. W. H.
Bumpkin, Mrs. Janie Schulte,
Bjisses Rosalie Schulte,Lila Schulte,
Bessie Lumpkin, Christine Lump-
B"' Evelyn Jones, Dorothy Cun-
Bus, Messrs. Sydney Strickland,
Bvill Henry Lumpkin, Percy Shcp-
Berd, and last but in one respect
Billy least, baby Lucy, that dear
■jttle lady belonging to Mr. and
Bh- S ' Cunyus. I think all of these
H-ill agree with me in Saying that
B most delightful A'eek of sight see-
Bng was spent and we boarded the
Brain for home tired but happy, as
Bhe small boy expressed^.
§1 Besides the exposition the city
■ffords numerous places of inter
Bst. The Isle of Palfris, Morris
Bsland, Ft. Sumter, Sullivan’s Is-
Band, and Magnolia Gardens are <>f
Bistoric interest and hc&uty, while
B’ue city itself is full of quaint
and sounds not be found
Blsewhere. The churches, church
■•ards, narrow streets, old time
Bouses and much admired Battery,
■are sources of surprise aud pleas
■ure to the visitoi.
I The exposition is a great suc-
Me.ss. The grounds are very ex
■ensive, though well arranged and
Bn such a wav that the people have
B'o difficulty in seeing ihe best ex
hibits. Mr. Gilbert, the designer
Bf the Ivory City as it is called,
Hot his idea from a passage in the
Bible and most beautifully did he
Bury ° u t the ihought. The archi
tecture is Moorish and Spanish and

B a rts and dainty light tints for oth-

II At the entrance most of the
Biain buildings are in sight, but to
Beach others, there is a walk of
Balf a mile through lovely flower
Bardens, palms, paths shaded by
■rees overhung with long grey
811B 11 ss . and statuary gleaming and
Blistening in the sun. For those
Bho don’t want to walk there is a
Biiniature train which carries
B went y or thirty at a rapid rate to
B w heiever you want to go.”
B The Court of Palaces is three
Bimense buildings of commerce,
B ott °n and agriculture, joined by a
B n g covered passage way called
B e Pergola. This is wide and
B nie °f the government exhibits
B re arranged in large rooms along
B e sides
II The West Indian buildings are
B x tremely iuteiesting as they are
B’h'rely new. The Woman’s build-
B n g' s an old colonial house, on the
B an ks of the Ashley river in a
B ro ve of magnificent live oaks.
B' le second and third floors are
beautifully made handiwork,
and old time furniture, etc.
811B 11 *h e first floor are the reception
moms and a lovely dining room
Bth a view of the river through
B>e queer old casements Here,
Hospitality is dispersed in the true
f’d f ashioned way and a delicious
Buthern dinner is served.
■ After our first day of sight sec
t's we assembled near the center
B grounds, facing the Court of
Braces, to see it “light up.” We
B ere unprepared, however, for the
Hpectacle we beheld. These huge
a moment ago so white
B nd st 'il tu their grandeur sudden-
B denied alive with millions of
B' n V lights, shining above, nelov\
B nd around us. Beneath lay the
Sunken gardens full of flowers.
Bnding their fragrance out on the
Bluing air, tall azaleas nodding
B ai 'y to Ifi e lights in the water’s
Bta on a H sides of them and re
lying their many tints in the
Biusical fountains One old lady

cess was assured because of the in
tense interest and work of the peo
ple themselves.
Ihe midway was quite an at
traction to both old and young—
I mean young and younger there
were no elderly people in our party.
Some of our home friends would
have been surprised to find our
most dignified members riding the
camel and enjoying it immensely.
While iu darkness and dawn cau
tiously walking along the corridor
dimly lighted and lined with grin
ning skeletons, a door opened and
a figure in red, with horns and a
pitchfork stood before us. One of
the girls, a quiet demure little
thing, is said to have been heard
outside the gates! The Turk sell
ing shawls of many hues in his
zeal to sell one to a gentleman of
our party pursued him down the
Streets cf Cairo at a lively pace,
and although the pursuer weighed
about two hundred he won ttie race
and took a rest by going around
on the fl ing jenny. Fair Japan
is an elaborate bazaar, theatre and
village, full of quaint devices,caus
ing much fun and laughter.
1 here is one place where a crowd
is to be found always- -the mir
rors. Once when three of us were
missing we found them gazing ad
miringly at their own reflection,
one before a mirror making his
stout figuie resemble some slight
youth’s, and the others,two sisters,
giving attention of the blissful
sert to the glass which showed
them, who were once like the pro
verbial sapling now of a rounded
type and matronly air. No doubt
all of us would have been content
to wander aruund for hours, it it
had not been for our dignified com
mander in chief who gave, once in
awhile, Hie order to march.
The Charlestonians with their
usual modesty do not praise their
own lia“aiwprk half as much as it
deserves. You must see for your
self this wonderful thi g which
has sprung into life in the “City
by the Sea.” A more desirable
trip cannot be planned than a visit
to Charleston and the exposition
in the spring. The railroads are
giving low rates and there are de
lightful hotels and boarding houses
all over the city where the people
are welcomed cordially.
Three cheers for dear old Char
leston,may all her efforts be crown
ed with success and each year add
to her beauty, bounty and bless
ings. .

Cartersville Delegates Return From
Rome Convention-
MR. BEALER REVIEWS MEETING-
Monev for Orphans Home —New
Board of Education— McCon
nell’s Great Speech.
Rev. Alex W. Beahr, Dr. W. L.
Cason, Mr. J. H. Gilreath, Mi jor
A, M. Foute and Mrs. J. H. Gil
reath returned on Monday after
noon from Rome where they have
been attending the Georgia Baptist
convention which met last Thurs
day morning.
In speaking of the convention
Mr. Bealersaid ‘‘lt was one of the
best meetings of the Baptists that
has occurred in tears. There was
a very large delegation present
from the different churches and
association and in the la
dies’ meeting, there was a
splendid representation. The wo
men have put into denominational
work within the last year the sum
of $20,000 aud the astonishing
thing about the w-ork is that the
expenses amounted to only sßoo.
Those who were present will not
soon forget the tender scene pre
sented when the company of or
phans, sixty-six*in number, came
up from the home at Hapeville.
Two were babies in the arms of the
nurses. The little ones sang sev
eral songs and reciled the 2is(
Psalm in concert. The trustees of
the home asked for $30,000 to be
used in erecting a main building as
children are now being turned
away every day for want of room.
It was beautiful to see the sweet
spirit of love that pervaded the
meeting while the churches were
making their subscriptions to the
home. In a very little while the
sum of $17,000 was subscribed and
the balance of the $30,000 w ill be
raised before the building is com
menced.
The convention created a board
of education that means much i r
the future of the young Baptists 111
Georgia. This boar ~ headed bv
Prof. P. D. Politick of Mercer Uni
versity is to enter actively upon a
campaign of education. It will
formulate a curriculum for the sec
ondary schools in Geo/gia, will
seek to raise money to keep them
going and will make an effort to
have those who attend complete
their education at the higher insti
tutions of learning owned by the
denomination. Mercer Universi
ty at Macon is to be the head of the
federation and into its halls of
Earning the boys will be taught to
lo ik. 1 hen the convention owns
Monroe college tor women at For
syih while there are other colleges
for women under Baptist auspices
none of them are owned by the
convention and while the new
board is seeking to build up Mer
cer by sending b< ys to its privil
eges, it will be forced to be con
si-tent, to build up Monroe the
only college own* and and controlled
by the convention. This move
ment places Georgia Baptists along
side of Texas and Virginia.
Perhaps no man has tier been
more highly honoied by his bicth
ren than Dr. S. V Jameson. Kr
three years he has been secretary
of the state .mission board. He
recently received a call from the
church at Griffin and resigned his
place to accept it. Feeling that he
was eminently the man for the
place, the convention, by a unani
ruons vote appointed a committee
to urge him to remain and to ask
the Griffin church to release him
from his acceptance of the call.
One brother in the convention
had sent out a number of notices to
different brethren suggesting that
anew president should be elected.
One of the notices was sent to
President Northen. He concluded
that he would not stand in the way
of anybody so he announced that
he would no longer allow his name
to go before the convention. There
was a tone of sadness in his voice
but as soon as he concluded Dr. J.
H. Hall of Newnan moved that
president Northen be reelected by
acclamation. The nomination was
seconded by numerous hearty amens
and when Dr. Hall put the ques
t on every delegate and even the
visitors rose to iheir feet. The pres
ident tried to speak, but tears
flowed from his eyes, his voice
