Dodd, Who Comes to Winder , Sept. 1. The resignation of the Rev. Jesse Mercer Dodd, pastor of the First Bap tist church, was a shock to the commu nity as the news spread Sunday and Monday and it means the loss of one of v the greatest forces for the cause of the Master and the church work of this j section, that has been sustained in I many years. • : His untiring efforts in behalf of his chosen vocation have been the means of promoting harmony in Tallapoosa and have been aq added force to the upbuilding of the moral fibre of this A man of vision with the broad views that constitute the neces sary qualities for leadership, he has brought forth a united congregation among local Baptists, making them sdrve as an inspiration for other de nominations. The benefits of his labors in Tallapoosa have been felt not only by his own congregation, but by all. His efforts in the direction of improv ing city affairs as well as church af fairs will bear fruit in the times to come. It is indeed a pity that a man who has done so much for the advance ment of our citizenship, should depart for another field, just as he is getting sufficiently acquainted with local con ditions to prove of the most benefit tq the community. The Journal joins his many friends and admirers in Tallapoosa in com mending him wholeheartedly to the j people of Winder.

THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE Despite all the jokes and thrusts at the greatest law making bodies iu the South, the Georgia legislature is one of the most representative bodies that meets anywhere, composed of a line bunch of men set for the advancement of the best interests of the citiens of the commonwealth. Our Own Senator. Despite the fact that 1 am a citizen of Atlanta now the pronoun “our” still seems appropriate when writing or speaking of Judge Geo. A. Johns. He is a man of splendid qualifications and noble traits. Recently he paid his re spects tft the governor and is noted for his fearless courageous stand iu all matters pertaining to the welfare of the masses. In passing it would not he amiss to say 7 that Senator Johns is one of the best dressed men in the Sen ate and is called “millionaire” since he came back this time. His colleagues rate'film high in senatorial circles. Judge I “hi I Davis Of course I was anxious to see the representative from my native county of Oglethorpe, Judge l’hil W. Davis, of Lexington. He was my father’s boyhood friend and neighbor and has been through the years. He is thoroughly at home in the House, having Served in the state sen ate as soon as the age limit would jeer mit, and lias for a number of times represented his county and district in the stale legislature. judge 'Davis is an able preacher of the gospel and lias stickability ,having served one church (Millstone in Ogle thorpe) continuously during his entiie pastorial career. He is a polished, Ghestertieldian gentleman of the old school and stands high in legislative circles. One of the leading members of the House said to me. “The gentleman from Oglethorpe is one of the ablest and most eloquent members of the House. When he speaks the entire body sits up and takes note for he always says it well.” There is syme talk among his col leagues of his making the race for governor next time. 40 years of rich and varied experience as pastor, Judge Senator and Representative knowledge of the state affairs, and should he de cide to run for gubernatorial honors, he will have hosts of friends from Kn huns Gap to Tvboe's Light who would he glad of the opportunity and privi lege of loyally supporting him. The writer heard him make two speeches recently, one an eulogy of the two friends of House recently gone to their eternal reward, which was a gem, ns they were both ex-confederate sol diers. The other an able anil eloquent speeclTon the good roads hill. Judge Da- Vis has placed the name of historic old Oglethorpe on top in legislative circles. Col. K. B. Russell. Barrow’s young representative is much in evidence in legislative halls. He is a splendid young lawyer, sane, safe, progressive, always on the job looking after the interests of his con stituents where there is work that needs' doing badly his friends hesitate not to put him in harness for the gen tleman from Barrow is tucftul and able and lias a glorious career before him. One is justly proud of his tine stand and'the good work that he is doing in this great body. As usual a lot of important work is to tie done by the body and it is work ing at the job night and day. Take the legislature as a whole it would be hard to find a more typical and better body of men assembled any where in the state. It is amply worth any man’s white to visit the legislature Jn action. CAMP FIRE GIRLS OFF TO NACOOCHEE WEDNESDAY. Tin- local Campfire girls, headed by Mrs. Pual S. Roberts, left for Nueooche Wednesday for p camp of a week in and among the mountains where tney will gallop, prance and play hide and seek with the birds, goats, trees and gambol with nature. Mrs. Roberts anti these girls are very grateful to the people of Winder who attended their benefit picture and the benefit party and made it possible for them to make this trip. Each girl is re quired to earn the money to pay for the expenses of this camp. Mrs. Roberta hinted to theritor of this paper that they would he glad to ’.se any Winder people up for the week end with a basket filled with delicious viands. Combined Ages of Six Old People 435 Years ! Mr. and Mrs. Hiram I*. Stanton had I as their dinner guests Monday Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham of Bartow county; Mrs. Phipps of LaFayette, Ga., Aunt Sue Bradley, of this city. At the din ner table the question arose as to the ages of the guests and host and Ims tes, and. it was discovered that the '.combined ages were 455 years, as fol lows: Aunt Sue Bradley Ml, Mrs. Phipps 7.’!, Mr Cunningham 77. Mrs. CunniiAtliani 7-7. 11. P. Stdnton (it, and Mrs. Stanton o.’!. HINES AND FISH BROTHERS-IN-LAW Probably it is not known by*the i>eo ple of Georgia that Chief Justice Wil liam 11. Fisti and Justice James K. Hines are brothers-in-law. And both are members of the same division of the Supreme Court. So. as it now stands, one family controls one division of this court. We doubt the wisdom of such a state of affairs. In fact, we are op posed to it. It doesn’t make any dif ference how high-toned and honest men arc, it is an unwise procedure for one family to control the functions of a court. We understand that Judge Hines is very active In supporting Judge Fish, bis brother-in-law, for re-election. 'lnis is to l<c expected, of course, but we feel sure that the people will think a long time before they turn one division of tftcir highest tribunal over to one fam ily. Judge Richard B. Russell is an ex alted jurist, thoroughly qualified to fill the position of Chief Justice of the Su preme Court, and we believe that, he ought to he elected,. “Plain Dick” Russell made a splendil record as Judge Of Appeals. He has no superior as a judicial officer in the state, and we be lieve the people are going to place him on the Supreme Court bench.
