FAUST December 6th the Buptpist hosts of Georgia meet for their 101 session, at the Baptist Tabernacle in Atlanta. This bas been a red letter year for Bap tists throughout the state. At PoweL ton in the summer was celebrated the Centennial of the organization of the Convention, and from Powelton the forces move on to Macon where repre sentatives from the Southern States fe licitated the State forces upon their marvelous growth and achievements. Among the eminent speakers from abroad were Drs. Brooks of Texas, and Geo. W. Truitt, M. E. Dodd of Shreveport, La., W. W. Landrum of Ky., L. R. Christie of Miss., and a most of others like T. W. O'Kelly of Rnl- eigh, N. 0., who came to be at home with the leaders for a few days. • It is peculiarly approproate that the body should have its crowning meeting in what is the greatest Baptist city in Ihe world. Every effort to hffve a great convention is being put forth. The Tabernacle affords a commodious meeting place, easily can a speaker make himself heard and every facility for the display of books aim! denomina tional work is offered. Th<‘ fallowing committees have been ' appointed to make necessary prepara tions along their particular linos: Finance —W. H. Major, F. S. Ether idge and C. W. Binns. Entertainment —Jno. W. Ham, Ben B. Padgett, I. M. Sheffield and M. C. ] Carpenter. Trains — Wylie West, W. H. Faust, I W. H. Barrett, L. B. Crantford. j Hotels —C. W. Daniel, J. S. McLe more. If. E. Roberts. Information —W. If. Cutts, T. E. Mc- Cutcheb, Mrs. IV. L. Blankenship. Public announcements —H. Alford Porter. Music I> L. Spooner. Dr. B. J. W. Graham, formerly ed itor of the Christian Index and one of the roost widely known Georgia minis ters, recently wrote an article for the Index iu which he had some very per tinent things to say about the conven tion not being a deliberative body, and as a result the committee on program ! has left quite a hit of the time open for a free for all discussion. This will it is thought tend to a greater crowd than usually comes to the convention. Atlanta is centrally located, roads are good, autos are plentiful, churches are i beginning to pay their pastors' expen ses to the convention. Items of tre mendous interest to the denomination J will come and as a result crowds will ; be at the session. Men’s League At Baptist Church. • Tin* Men’s League of the First Bap tist church was reorganized last Fri day night. Quite a crowd of male mem bers of tlit* church was present. Talks were made hy J. M. Williams, J. W. McWhorter, bee Fortson, S. F. Maugh on, Rev. Jesse M. Dodd, and others. Henry M. Oakley was elected presi dent, Dr. W. T. Randolph, vice pres ident, and J. C. Pratt, secretary and treasurer. The regular meeting date for the league was fixed on the second Tuesday night in each month.

We take the following story from tiie Commerce News whose editor en dorses it from beginning to end: Editor Mclntosh, of the Albany News, and editor Sliopo of the Dalton ( itizon have been engaged in a “jint spute” as to which is God’s country north or south Georgia. They have been sing ing tiie praise of both sections, each contending that his section of Geoigia is the greatest and each offering evi dence in products grown to estahlsh his claim. Editor Mclntosh came back at ghope wiih a talc that lays all the fish tales we ever heard, even that Jonah story In the shade. He says: After quoting onr truthful and alto get hor simple epistle about the North Georgia sweet potatoes some of which resemble men. while others possess the form and features of a dinosarus tiie Albany Editor unleashes his imagina tions, and comes back as follows and also, to-wit: Those were not potatoes, neighbor. Those were nubbins, Real potatoes onlv grow down here where the soil Is rich and even the passing brpez.es sum mon growing things to development ex traordinary. Twenty penny nails would look very well as legs for some of our South Georgia swamp blackber ries, but when the children make mas todonic hobby-horses out of sweet po tatoes, they mount the tubers on feme posts for legs. , Did you ever hear of Sim S.k<> s sweet potato? Sim claimed the record for size here in South Georgia, though his claim has long been challenged by rivals in half a dozen counties. It was the year that Sim planted his potato patch where the horse lot bad been until the autumn before that he bung up what he claimed was a sweet 1( , record. After getting out most of the tubers with crow-bars and sawing •several healthy specimens into sections before they could be lifted, Sim says he struck what be claimed was the grandaddy of the whole potato tribe. Briefly, his story is to this effect: After digging for several days, Sun and his hired man carried a trench en tirely around the potato. Bracing it with two-by four timbers, they dug un der and sawed off the tap-root, which was three find in diameter. Resisting a temptation to use dynamite and save time, Sim says he built a derrick, rigg ed a block and tackle to a windlass and lifted out the big tuber, which left a hole that would have made a roomy gar- age for a seven-passenger touring car. The potato was visited by hundreds of people during the following week, at the end of which time lightning set fire to the stable and it was burned doftn. ••Hut I took a pick an’ harrowed out that: potater,” Sim declared, “hung a door on it and put the mule in it till 1 could git time to build another stable. The mule stayed in there every night for a week, an’ all the time he was eatin’ of the walls of his stall, without me noticin’ it. Finally, be et plum through, an’ the roof fell in on ’irn and Smashed ’im flatter’n a postage stamp. If you don’t Itelieve me, I can show you the mule I bought to take his place. I simply had to quit plantin’ sweet po taters in rich ground, for jes, natcherly didn’t have room on the place to store i tiie crop ” judge G. A. Johns, of Winder, tran sacted legal business here Wednesday. Judge Johns has recently been re-elect ed state senator from his district.— Gwinnett Journal. An Auto Accident Sunday Afternoon.

TO DOUBLE ITS PLANT Proposes To Add Six or Seven Hiindr; and People to the Population of Winder If Houses Can Be Provided. IT IS squarely up to the people of <his eity to add several hundred people to its population and $2,000 to the weekly payroll if houses can be pro vok'd to accommodate this number of ! people. The Winder Mfg Company who now pays out about $2,000 weekly to its op eratlves in this city propose* to double its plant if houses can be secured for the additional help needed. This will I mean work for about 225 more people in Winder and will add at least six or seven hundred people to our population. Every line of business in the city will feel the .stimulus of this additional i payroll. A mass meeting of the of tlie city was called at the court house last Tuesday afternoon by Mayor N. Bagwell to consider the proposition of the needed bouses. A large number of our people responded to this call, showing that our citizens are deeply interested in the proposed enterprise. Mayor Geo. N. Bagwell acted as chairman and Mr. W. A. Bradley was named as secretary. Mr.Geo. W. Wood ruff stated tiie purpose of the meeting The Winder Mfg.
