Enterred as second-class Mail matter at the post ofliec at Winder, Ga., under Act of Congress March 3, 1879. 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. 0 — 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. o- — 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. TO THE PEOPLE OF BARROW COUNTY. ♦ _________ 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 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.

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.

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.
