Lumpkin county voted for bonds and better roads last week and
there were only 29 voters who opposed it.
Hall county in her election last week for bonds and good roads
polled a solid vote.

They are all doing it. Every county voting for bonds has caned
overwhelmingly.
Morgan county voted Tuesday for a bond issue of SJ2:>.O()O for
permanent roads and the result was ten to one in tavor oi bonds.
0
Bonds carried in Jackson county by a vote ot 1900 for and bonds
2<i votes against bonds. Lets all get together and not cast a single
vote in Barrow county against bonds.
If all our people will realize what the bond issues, which are to
he voted on in the election called for June 14th, mean for the future
of Barrow county,there will not be a single vote polled in opposition.
0 .
The notice of meeting of Georgia Highways Association, which
meets in Atlanta on May 29-30, will be found in this issue. The Ordi
nary will appoint delegates from this county and it is important all
of them should attend.

Aeroplanes will he popular with blind tigers, for tins will be
about the only safe way to transport their booze from the mountains.
Carrying it in automobiles is becoming too risky and the old wagon
route has about seen its best days.
When the citizens of Barrow county fully understand what it
means for the county, there will not be a man to oppose bonds. Our
people want to do the right thing and when you find a man who has
been misled and opposes the bond issues, talk to him in the right spirit
and show him that it is to his interest and to 1 lie interest of his coun
ty. Every man has a right to his opinion until you convince him he
is wrong. Every man should ieel it bis duty to help in this election.
We cannot afford to he inactive.
WE SHOULD ALL VOTE FOR BONDS.
If we have the interest of I’.arrow county at heart and wish to
sec it the equal of the other counties adjoining it we should all talk
bonds and vote for bonds at the coming elect June 14th.
The Times does not believe there will he any opposition to these
two issues of bonds. A few men perhaps may he influenced to oppose
them by not understanding what it means for the future of our coun
ty; a few may oppose them because they are opposed to good roads
and county improvement; a few will be misled and listen to those \vho
oppose everything for advancement, and a few will vote against them
because they are conscientiously opposed to bonds.
We trust that all of these elements of opposition will not be many
larger than was that of Jackson county, which amounted to only 26
votes out of nearly 2000 polled.
The man who is in favor of good roads and public buildings will
not now criticise the action of Judge Hill and have as an excuse, the
issue is too small, of that be is in favor of one of the bond issues and
opposed to the other, but will get right in the tight and do his paj-t
to make the result practically unanimous.
The election has been called and it is too late to object to the one
and oppose theother, hut if you want to build your county and keep
it on the map the thing to do is to be progressive, do like the voters
of all tlie other counties and vote for bonds. .
Don’t go to objecting to everything, picking flaws, finding iault
and listening to any one who has a grudge and would sacrifice Ins
county to gratify that grudge. We must all be bigger than this, we
must all rise above this and show we are not made out of this kind ot
material but are united when Barow county and the weliare ol her
citizens are at stake. , , , . , ... v *
The Times pleads for every man to fall in line and do his duty. .No
a single county so far voting for bonds has lost, and we believe tha
our people areas loyal and progressive as the people of other counties
and will not oppose their own best juiciest.

While all the religious organ
izations are asking for funds with
which to replenish their treasu
ries, emptied on the battlefields of
prance in helping suffering hu
manity, the Salvation Army is one
of these great organizations that
deserve consideration. For two
days, their representative walked
our streets endeavoring to find
Home one to make an effort tor
their cause, and was about to
leave town and have to report to
bis headquarters that he could
find no one in Barow county in
terested in the Salvation Army
when the writer agreed to not al-
low Winder and Barrow county
go down on record as having
turned down the people who bil
lowed our hoys to the front line
trenches with their hot tea and
doughnuts and was with them
more than any other organization.
(This information is lurnished by
your boys returning from over
seas.) Doubtless you have heard
them say the Salvation Army did
more with their dimes than did
the others with dollars.
Wore your hoy an Adjutant
<Jeneral lie probably enjoyed the
society and benefit of the otlier or
ganizations more than he did the
Salvation Army, but if he was a
private in the front line trenches,
hungrv and tired from continuous
fighting for hours and hours, lie
will tell you that it was the Salva
tion Army that reached them first
They came at times when refresh
ments were most needed, making
the old "aying true “A stitch in
Time Saves Nine.” They came
nearer being at the right place at
the right time than any other or
ganization (I have a brother over
seas who volunteered at the age of
eighteen, having landed in France
within three months after enlist
ing and he is now in (lermany
with the Army of Ocupation. This
brother writes us brothers at
home to never fail to donate to
lhe Salvation Lassie whenever the
opportunity presents itself, and as
sures us that the "mail organiza
tion with a small fund did more
for the soldiers overseas than did
any others.
With this information before
you. let us endeavor to see what
can he done in Harrow county for
this worthy cause. They are ask
ing for only SIOOO.OO from our
county. Mow many 7 fathers ami
mothers would have given their
best mule to have bad the oppor
tunity to have served their boy s
with doughnuts while they were
in the trenches? This is what the
Salvation Army arranged to do
and did for our hoys. Now. they
jive asking a small contribution
from you to replace the money
they spent on your boys or broth
ers Tor their refreshments when
they were most needed. Are you
not willing to pay them live cents
for every doughnut they gave
vour boys or brothers? Are we
all not willing to reciprocate to a
noble people for mch a noble ser
vice? Let’s not allow Barrow
county fail to subscribe its
$lOOO.OO.
Tlie following committeemen
arc asked to co-operate with each
other in raising this small amount
First, I will ask that the minis
ters of all the churches to make an
announcement of this cause and
collect what they can at their first
service held in their church. Sec
ond, will ask all the Sunday school
superintendents to make codec
tions at their Sunday schools on
Sunday, May 25th. Third, will
ask all soldier boys returning
from service to make a canvass in
their communities.
Not knowing all the above men

THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST
CONVENTION
(By W. 11. Faust.)
Wednesday. May 14th, the Sou
thern Baptist Convention met in
Atlanta in regular session. Dele
gates were present from all the
states in our southland and Illi
nois to the number of over 4
thousand, these with delegates to
the Woman’s Missionary Union
and visitors are the number of
attendants up to the neighborhood
of ten thousand.
This body was organized at Au
gusta, (4a., in IS4o and has grown
hv leaps and bounds since.
Atlanta, despite already being
overcrowed, entertained, the great
body royally. She never does
things by halves.
Dr. James B. Gamhrell, of Tex
as, was elected president, Drs. J.
Henry Burnett, of Georgia, and
Moore ,of North Carolina, were
elected secretaries; Dr. John 1).
Mell, of Georgia, was elected one
of the vice-presidents. In all
probability lie will be elected pres
ident at the next session, which
convenes at Washington, D. C. in
May 1920. Dr. Mell was one of
the former pastors of the Winder
First church and is regarded as
one of Hie greatest parliamenta
rians in the United States. His
father, Dr. P. H. Mell, was presi
dent of the body from 18H3-1887.
The annual convention sermon
was preached by Dr. AY. E. Dodd,
of Lexington, and it was a master
ly presentation of truth as held
by Baptists throughout the ter
ritory.
The outstanding features, even
of this body cannot he touched up
on in this article. One of the ep
ochal hours was on Thursday ev
ening when the body voted to
raise $75,000,000.00 for missions
and education. Four of the lead
ing speakers of the convention de
livered able addresses on the im
portance of this great drive. Dr.
E. Y. Mullins, president of the
Southern Theological Seminary at
Louisville, Ky., Dr. George W.
Truett, the south’s greatest prea
cher, of Dallas, Tex., Dr. Len G.
Broughton, world famed minister
of Knoxville, Tenn., and Hon. Wm
1). Upshaw, Atlanta, congressman.
The annual address of tlie pres
ident was one of the cleanest cut
presentations of the present day
Baptist position ever given out.
Thousands of copies will be print
ed in tract form and distributed
throughout the nation. It the ut
terances of Dr. (Jambrcli and Dish
op ('andler are representative,
these two great bodies are deadly
opposed to being swallowed up in
the new union movement, and will
still continue to he the two power
ful factors that they have been
and now are in the great realm of
spiritual activity.
Anew education board was cre
ated to raise and expend $25,000,-
000.00 in the next five years for
laudable purpose.
The following boards are doing
an almost fabulous work through
out the south under this greatj
body: The foreign mission board!
at Richmond, Va., Dr. J. F. Love ]
secretary; the home mission board
at Atlanta, (ia., Dr. B. 1). Gray/
secretary; the Sunday schod
board at Nashville. Tenn., Dr. I. 4
Van Ness, secretary; the educa
tion board at Birmingham, Aid,
Dr. W. J. MeGlothlin, secretari:
The Woman’s Missionary Uniii
held its meetings at the Bapt*t
Tabernacle; Mrs. W. C. James,fif
Virginia, is president.
Sunday was an epochal dajlin
Atlanta ecclesiastical circles, fl e
various pulpits were filled hyfis
itors.
It was the writers good pras
ure in the morning to attenJthe
Sunday school at the Baptist fra b
ernacle. Two thousand I one
hundred and sixty-five wereli at
tendance. Dr. L. (1. Broifrhton
one of the former pastors dliver
ed one of his greatest sernJns to
a crowded biylding at 11 <**lock.
In the afternoon at the rfg au
ditorium Dr. George W. Tett of
Dallas, Tex., spoke to a flighty
throng. A memorial to fir sol
diers. lie was superb, were is
no greater living exponent of the
gospel tban this stalwart Texas
pastor. At night Dr. L. R. Scar
borough, president of the South
western Baptist Theological Sem
inary of Texas preached at the
Tabernacle. It was a great day
The singing of little eleven year
old Eva Brown of Texas, and Char
lie Butler and wife added to the
joy of the day.
One is profoundly impressed
with the bigness of this body
diristians. The leaders of the
south comprise its membership
and its future is the brightest ev
er found. It is a day of democra
cy and progressiveness and the
doors of opportunity are tiling
wide open.
It was an epochal meting and
one that will go down in history
because of its harmonious, pro
gressive and spiritual advance.
The next session goes to the na
tion's capitol in 1920.
