TILLMAN REVIVAL
CLOSED SUNDAY
A GREAT MEETING
Every Seat Taken in the
Large School Audito
rium Last Service
With a crowd that packed every inch
of space in the commodious school aud
itorium the Tillman meeting came to
a close last Sunday night. For the last
week the night services were attended
hy the greatest crowds that ever at
tended religious services in Winder-
Brother Tillman's wonderful singing,
which always delights his audiences,
was augmented by each night in in
creasing n timbers. His picturesque
presentation of the gospel with its de
lightful pathos and humor was calcu
lated to go straight to the hearts of his
hearers. Young and old gave him their
undivided attention and their response
to his appeals was at times perfectly
amazing. There was no time lost in
the discussion of controverted subjects,
but every moment was given to the
preaching of a practical gospel for dai
ly living. That hundreds were helped
was the testimony of all his hearers.
The pastor of the church made the as
sertion that Winder will never be the
same again, as the scores of those who
have determined to live for things
worth while, battling Against the for
ces of evil, will testify. Such services
as that of last Sunday morning are ex
periences seldom in a life-time.
No record has been made of the num
ber of conversions. The Methodist
church has been strengthened by the
creation of a large band, of new work
ers who have volunteered for service
and the spiritual life .of the whole town
has received a distinct impetus. Partly
as a result of the meeting, and partly
because of the renewed interest in the
work of the Sunday school generally,
the teachers and officers have decided to
voluntarily set the example of giving
up cards and dancing. This new rule
for the teaching force of this live school
will increase its spiritual influence a
hundredfold. Twenty-five have given
their names for chins it membership, and
it is expected that this number will be
increased by the time the reception
service is held next Sunday morning.
sucb a meeting is worth more than
can he estimated In changing the cur
rent of the life ol .any town or city.
Its influence will be increasingly felt
so long as those who felt the power of
God’s spirit are alive to show that this
is not a passing fancy hut a life pur
pose that will he translated into ser
vice for Christ and the church. The
evangelist was very kind in his refer
ences to Winder, how well the prepa
ration had been made -and how warm
had been his welcome here. And as
for the people they hope that this vet
eran preacher and singer who has
n -.a": so much to the spiritual Uf<* of
this city In hiv several -visits here will
live long to continue his labor of faith
and ’ove . ,
Brother Til'.man was ably assisted
by his daughter. Mrs. Burns, who as
sisted in the music and who made many
friends during her stay in this city.

BOYS’ CAMP
Gump Cheeheroe is the name given
to fiie camp to he conductstd by Scout
master S. R. Grubb of this-city ou his
farm in Rabun county beginning July
19th. This camp is located five miles
Southeast of Clayton near the road
that leads from the latter-city to Wall
halla, S. C. This main load is one of
the best thoroughfares i u that part of
the state. Leaving this road at the
f>uacan farm is about a .suite of moun
tain road which is a good wagon road
and passable for automobiles except
just after a heavy rain. The boys at
this camp will sleep in the second story
of a large frame barn whore they will
Ik* ■perfectly dry no matter if it should
rain every day. An athletic field is in
preparation where various kinds of ball
and other games will be played. Mili
tary drill and athletics will be in
charge of Lt. Major Cafiet Jacob But
ler, who graduated from the Athens
High School this year and was the
highest officer in that -organization.
Mr. Grubb has conducted several
camps in past years and several of the
boys going with him this year have
been on every camp he has conducted.
Hikes are already planned to the Chat
tooga river. Saddle Gap, Cooper Falls
and other places of interest. This camp
will last twelve days and the expense
will be one dollar per day plus the rail
road fare to and from Clayton which
will likely be about $5.50 the round trip.
Any boy between the ages of twelve and
eighteen years of age who desire to go
on this mountain trip may get further
information by calling on Mr. Grubb.

B. Y. P. U. CONVEN
TION AT SAVANNAH
By W. H. Faust.
The annual state convent ion of the
B. Y. P. U.'s of Georgia is always an
event of vital importance. This year
the body met in the historic city of Sa
vannah, the second city of the state
and one of the most interesing and his
torical of all Georgia's towns.
The population is 100,000; commerce
in 1919 $597.3272180. Exports through
Savannah exceeded any other Atlantic
port except New York. The only sug-
ar refinery between Philadelphia and
New Orleans is located here. It has
Iso the largest lumber mill in the South
and the only pulp mill. Near the city
hall where the convention met is a large
granite boulder marking the sight
where Oglethorpe and Tomoehichi met.
The Independent Presbyterian church
is one of the most historic in the south.
Lowell Mason was pastor here when
he wrote the famous missionary hymn,
"From Greenland’s Icy Mountains,”
Over 1,000 delegates and visitors were
in attendance and a more royal hos
tess than Savannah has never enter
tained the body. Dr. William Russell
Owen, of Macon, was re-elected presi
ent and the next meeting place is Ath
ens, Gh., close to ns and a delightful
convention city.
We made the trip in the 90,000 miles
Ford, Sylvester Sauls, Hearst Bagwell,
Hilda Faust, Essie Ism* Williams and
myself, leaving Winder at $> :30 in the
morning, and passed through Barrow,
Oconee, Clark, Oglethorpe, Wilkes, Mc-
Duffie, Columbia, Richmond, Burke,
Screven, Effingham and Chatham coun
ties, reaching Savannah at 5 o'clock in
the afternoon.
The roads were good from Thomson
•i. fairly good to Athens, a bad stretch
in McDuffie, and the remainder of the
road was as good as could be. Crops
were fine all along the route. In Ogle
thorpe and Wilkes cotton was small
corn also. The rest of the way corn
and grain predominated, with goobers,
cattle, turpentine, lumber, melons and
trucking well to the fore.
The annual convention sermon was
preached by Dr. ,T. M. Haymore, of
Waycross. Dr. Geo. W. McDaniel, of
Richmond, Ya., I)r. M. E. Boyd, of
Shreveport, La., Dr. Woolson, of Phil 1
adelphia. Dr. R. T. Bryan, of China and
Mrs. Lambdin, of Alabama, from out
of the state great inspirational mes
sages to the young people. The Savan
nah papers gave fine publicity to the
meetings. Sixty out of the 92 associa
tions in the state are now thorough
ly organized and the future of the
work is exceeding bright.
Friday, after the convention came
to a close, an excursion had been plann
ed down the Savannah river to Tybee
where “ocean breezes blow.” Two ships
went and they were loaded to the brim,
and such n time as the young folks did
have ou the boat and in the surf.
“From Rabun’s Gap to Tybee’s light
one could not help as he stood beside
the ocean to think of Lanier’s great
poem:
And oh! Not the Hills of Habersham,
And oil! Not the valleys of Hall,
Avail I am fain for to water the plain.
Downward thf* vdices of duty call
Downward to toil and he mixed with
the main,
For the wide fields burn and the mills
are to turn.
And the myriad of flowers mortally
yearn,
And the calls come from beyond the
plain,
Culls o’er the hiTls of Habersham,
Calls through the valleys of Hall.
And again:
“Ye marshes, how .simple and candid
and nothing withholding and free,
Ye publish yourselves to the sky, and
offer yourselves to the sea’’
I will fly in the greatness of God as
the marsh hen flies
In the freedom that fills all the space
'twixt the marsh an the skies;
By so many roots as the marsh-grass
sends in the sod,
I will heartily lay me a-hold on the
greatness of God;
Oh! Like the greatness of God is the
greatness within
The range of the marshes, the liberal
marshes of Glynn.
Leaving Savannah at 7 o’clock Sat
urday we reached home at 7 I’. M.,
nearly 500 miles and not a single car
trouble. The main towns on the route
were Winder, Athens, lexington, Wash
ington, Thomson, Harlem, Waynesboro,
Sylvania, Springfield and Savannah.
While in the city it w r as the writer's
good pleasure and exceeding great e-,

This is Judge Fortson’s first term in
Barrow county and he has made a most
favorable impression upon our people.
His charge to the grandjury Monday

the point, calling the attention of that

of the fact that they represent the peo
ple of this county.
The grandjury was organized by the
election of Rev. W. H. Faust as fore

fice like a veteran, while Sheriff Camp

best sheriff in the state. Both are
splendid officials.
SENATOR CL A. JOHNS GETS
GOOD COMMITTEES IN SENATE
Senator G. A. Johns was fortunate
in the committee assignments given
him by President Clay, and by reason
of fris membership on these important
committees will he able to serve effect
ively as a member of tiie Senate. Prac
tically all of the work of the legisla
ture is done in committee and good as
signments are evidence of the expe
rience and ability of the members so
appointed and are much sought after.
Senator Johns was made chairman of
the important committee on Manufact
urers; vice-chairman of the Judiciary
Committee which passes on the legal
merits of measures; was appointed as
a member of the Constitution Amend
ments Committee which has to do wtih
the constitutionality of bills; is a
mem hereof committees oil Congression
al and Legislative Reapportioiunent,
Mines and Mining, Penitentiary, Pub
lic Printing, Public Property, State of
the Republic, University of Georgia
and Its Branches and the new consoli
dated committee, Appropriations and
Finance. This last committee will have
much work to do as it will be called
upon to frame legislation to carry out
the program of overhauling the State's
financial condition and it is charged
with the duty of balancing the condi-
tion of the Treasury so that income
may equal expenditures and bring
about a policy of retrenchment so that
the expenses of the state may be held
within the revenues. Senator Johns
has introduced a bill to abolish the of
fice of Attorney to the Highway De
partment and to confer this work on
the Attorney General at a saving of
thirty-six hundred dollars a year and
is a joint author of the bill introduced
on yesterday to repeal the tax equal
ization law and to abolish the office
of State Tax Commissioner. This law,
originally, had a good tendency but as it
operated in recent years under the
State Tax Commissioner it became
very burdensome to the people.

A RECREATION
PLACE FOR WINDER
Every town needs some place of re
creution. Especially is this true during
the long slimmer days. Ami among
the things that add to the comfort and
pleasure of the public during the sum
mer, we know of nothing that is more
acceptable than a nice, convenient
swimming pool or natatorium. Winder
should arrange to have one by all
means.
Out near the waterworks is a splen
did place that can easily and cheaply
be fixed for just such a purpose. It
was originally built for the purpose of
supplying the city with water, but has
been abandoned and is now not need
ed. A splendid rock dam has been
built across the stream, the sides, also,
have rock walls, and the bottom is
smooth natural rock. A beautiful na
tatorium can be arranged there at an
expense of about $36.00. In fact, a
party has agreed to clean out the place
so that clear, pure water can lx 1 ob
tained at all times for the above named
sum.
We have three men who are willing
to give $5.00 each for cleaning out the
place. We need s2l more. Who will
help in this matter? See the editor of
the Winder News Friday or Saturday
and make contribution. We can ar
range a splendid place of recreation at
a nominal sum. Let’s have it fixed next
week by all means.
BARROW FARMERS
WILL CO-OPERATE
Enthusiastic Meeting of the Cotton
Growers of Barrow Was Held
Last Saturday.
The cotton growers of Barrow comi
ty met in the old court house last Sat
urday afternoon for the purpose erf
hearing an address by Mr. A. A. El
more, representative of the Georgia
Cotton Growers Association, and to
consider the advisability of uniting
with the organization.
After a splendid address by Mr. El
more, resolutions asking the farmers
of the state to pool their interests in
the selling of their cotton this fall was
adopted.
The plan outlined by Mr. Elmore is
the same as adopted by the fruit grow
ers of California and the fruit growers
of Georgia. It has been the salvation
of these interests and no doubt will
enable t lie cotton growers to get a
much better price for their products.
An organization was perfected as
follows: C. W. Parker, president; M.
J. Griffeth, vice president; Lon Simou
ton, secretary.
After the meeting in the old court
house a meeting of the bankers was
held at which Mr. Elmore outlined
the plan of the Georgia Association.
Organizations of the Gerogia Cotton
Growers’ Cooperative association are
being perfected all over the state, and
it is thought that over 300,000 bales of
cotton will he signed up in the stute
before the campaign is over.
MEETING AT SECOND BAPTIST
Rev. J. Frank Jackson, known and
loved by everybody in this section, is

8,300,000 Bale Crop
Cotton Is Indicated
With A Large Decrease in Acreage and
Falling Off in Fertilizers Small
Crop Is Expected.
The indicated decrease in acreage in
cotton for 1921 is 30.5 per cent. The
total number of acres planted in 1920
was 37,043,000. The total acreage in
1921 is 25,818,000. On June 24th, the
condition of the crop was 09.5 percent
It is quite significant that weevils
are more numerous and also more ac
tive than in any previous year at this
date. It is believed that should a wet
spell occur during July the damage
from this pest will be enormous. Even
at this time in many sections they are
attacking the young bolls as soon as
they are formed. Labor srems to he
plentiful all over the cotton belt.
Using the Government’s formula for
estimating the probable yield, the acre
age and percentage condition shown
in this report indicates, with normal
weather conditions henceforth, a yield
of about 8,300,000 hales.
