Winder Ili defeated Winterville here
last Thursday by the score of 8 to 6
in the most interesting game of the
year. Winterville started off like a
house atire tallying up two chalkers in
the initial frame, but Winder came
back in her half and put one runner
across the rubber. Carpenter, Winder
High’s pitching Ace pulled the "altar
stone” stunt by pitching Thursday af-
P* pitching Wednesday, and was in
vifrcible on the pinches, forcing 11 ca
seys to whiff the air.
In the second frame Carpenter
struck out 3 in a row and for a reward
his team mates touched Fleeman for
4 runs and sewing up the ball game.
After that he settled down and allowed
only 3 more counters. The feature
of the game was the fighting spirit of
the whole Winder crew, while for win
terville the fielding of Carter on the
keystone and Fleeman behind the bat.
Winder Hi got off this season with a
bad start but the hard and constant
work Coach Page has “developed” a
real good looking aggregation of sand
lot pastimers.
Batteries: Winder—Carpenter and
Autry. Winterville —Fleeman and Flee

Revival At Second
Baptist Church Closed
[ The simultauteous meetings at the
Second Baptist church closed last week
with 23 new members added to the roll.
Rev. Ed Cowan, of Atlanta, mill evan
gelist of the Georgia Baptist conven
tion, did the preaching and Mr. A. L.
'Turk, of Atlanta, led the singing. Rev.
J. Frank Jackson, of Atlanta, who as
sisted in the organization of this
church six years ago, ran .over and
preached several times towards the
close of the meetings. Mr. Jackson is
one of the most successful evangelists
in the state and has seen over six
thousand souls added to the church in
hia ministry.
MEETINGS CLOSE AT
THE FIRSTBAPTIST
The series of meetings at the First
Baptist church came to a close Monday
J idght with the baptismal service. For
two weeks Rev. T. F. Callaway preach
ed from two to four sermons daily. He
greatly endeared himself to our people
by his splendid sermons. He was a
lawyer before he entered the ministry,
a graduate of Mercer University. He
is scholarly and orthodox in his preach
ing and the people of all denominations
who heard him-gladly pronounce him
one of the sweetest spirited, and yet
one of the most fearless preachers who
ever worked in evnngellstic meetings
in our city. His success in the evangel
istic field everywhere is great.
Mr. Rad Bell is a fine song leader,
and did magnificent work here with the
senior, junior and intermediate choirs.
Sixty new members were added to the
roll of the First Baptist church and
, the great good accomplished by the
meetings only eternity can reveal.
The members invited the visiting
i .preachers and pastor out daily, and lav
. ish hospitality was bestowed upon the
■ preachers and singers by the loyal mem
j hers of the church.
Mr. Callaway delighted the school
i children at both the high school and
| the mill school with his pungent and
: strong talks dally. One of the outstand-
I ing features of the meeting was the
I intense interest manifested by the fac
ulty and student body of the schools.
No evangelist who has visited <>ur
city ever made a more favorable im
pression upon our people than did our
j .state evangelist. The Baptist Board
is to be congratulated upon having the
services of such a splendid mixer and
j strong gospel preacher.
Winder can never be the same after
,these good meetings. It is the unani
j mo us consensus of opinion that the si-
multaneous evangelistic meetings are
the thing for all towns. In fact, a
county-wide campaign is spoken of for
another year, and it would be fine for
Burrow county, the best county hi the
state to set the pace.

DAVID PERKINS
TAKES OWN LIFE.
Again our community has been sad
dened and shocked over the death of
David Perkins when the news spread
throughout the community late Sunday
afternoon that he had shot and killed
himself. No reason is known for his
committing the act. Evidently his
mind became unbalanced as we learn
that he had talked at times to the
young people of the community about
killing himself and also to bis parents,
but nil thought that he was just jok
ing. No one had any iden that he
meant what he said. He was a good hoy
went to church and Sunday school. I
never knew him to take a back seat In
church. He was 10 years of age at
the time of his death. He leaves a
father, step-mother, one brother and
three, sisters to mourn his going nway.
Also a host of relatives and friends.
David will ho missed in the home and
in (lie community. A place is vacant
in liis home that never can he filled.
The bereaved family have our deepest
sympathy.—Midway < 'or.

nose to the grindstone because of her
personal demands and vulgar ambitions

GREAT REVIVAL ATi
ME CHURCH CLOSED
The Methodist church closed it’s ser
vices Sunday in connection with the
simultaneous evangelistic campaign,
reporting 104 additions to the member
ship, with others still to be received.
It was an inspiring sight on Sunday
morning to see the two long lines that
stretched from the front of the church
to the far side of the Sunday school
room. There were many adults in
this number, especially men, and at
least 70 were joining the church for the
first, time. The impressive reception
service occupied the entire morning
hour, and was a time of much congrat
ulation and rejoicing. It is doubtful if
such a scene Ims ever been witnessed
before in the history of this aggressive
church. Tiie spirit of the revival was
shown in the Sunday school when with
out any special effort, the record at
tendance of (534 was reached, every
class room being full to overflowing. It
was remarked that the Sunday school
had laid the foundation for such a
meeting ns this many of the adult con
verts not only coming from ijt • Sun
day school hut joining the church at
tiie Sunday school hour.
Aftyr a few words of encourage
ment to the new members the pastor;
Rev. L. tv. Collins, read the beautiful
baptismal and reception service, using
largely the form prescribed for young
people, which includes the recitation of
the twenty-third Psalm. At the close,
while several hymns were sung, tin
right hand of fellowship was given to
the new converts by the entire congre
gation.
The results can not he adequately
given in figures. The spirit of the
church is that of an army mobilized
for aggressive effort In the work of
the Kingdom of Christ. The added
numbers now bring the membership of
this church to 025 and the promise is
that this is not the end but merely the
beginning of anew era iu the life of
tlie organization. Not one of the least
results was the formation of a tithers
league of almost one hundred members,
and two young lady volunteers for life
service.
This was a meeting in which the en
tire congregation united to attain these
splendid results, hut too much cannot
he said of the Inspiration that came
from the preaching of Rev. A. L. Stan
ford and the faithful and effective as
sistance of R. L. Etheridge as director
of the music. It was a team that any
Church will find it hard to beat, and
it is rumored that Brother Stanford is
trying to secure Mr. Etheridge for per
manent. work of this kind in the North
State.
The sucees of the simultaneous plan
has been marvelous. Next year, learn
ing by experience it, will he possible to
improve on the few things that might
make such a campaign even a greater
stimulus to the spiritual life of the
town. But even'this first year’s exiie
ment has resulted in the greatest in
gathering into the churches that Win
der has ever known, and a nightly at
tendance that has never been ap
proached. The ministerial association
has publicly thanked the business men,
the school authoriities, and the various
social organizations for their co-oper
ation and special mention haR been
made of the tireless and effective work
of Mr. J. C. Stickney as advertising
manager of the campaign. t
