BUTTS COUNTY WILL WILL HAVE SPECIAL DAY Wednesday of every camp meet ing will hereafter be known as “Butts County Home Folks’ Day” —so decided the directors of the association as an appreciation of the attendance and interest of local people. It is not meant by this that Butts people are not welcomed any other time, but that special in vitation will be exttnded on this day. In the past many local peo ple have taken great interest in the meetings, quite a number tenting on the grounds, and it is expected that this will increase the attend ance and interest of our people. Below is printed a communication from Rev. G- W. Matthews, of Fitzgerald, president of the asso ciation: A Message to Butts County People: j “The Indian Spring Holiness encampment held its first meeting twenty-three years ago—the last held being the twenty-fourth. During the twenty-three years the meeting has become the largest and one of the most important re ligious gatherings in the South. During this nearly quarter of a cen tury the visiting part of the con gregation have received unnumber ed hospitalities and kindnesses from the residents of Flovilla, In dian Spring, Jackson and the en tire county. Asa natural result there has sprung up on the part of the visi tors a sense not only of abiding gratitude, but also of kinship to all in the county. Many of the earlier residents, as well as of the visitors, have passed ,over to the Great Future, for which each meeting has brought, we trust, better preparation. Their names and their faces will be cher ished in eternity. The trustees of the camp ground at the last meeting, feeling that the gratitude and appreciation which were due could no longer withhold expression, determined that, with the consent of the Butts county friends, the Wednesday of every camp meeting in the future should be observed as “The Butts County Home Folks’ Day.” While the entire county are wel come every one of the ten days, the trustees desire on that day to give special attention and invitation to those who have been so kind to the visitors and helped makethe Indian Spring Camp Meeting a blessing and inspiration far beyond the borders of our state. While the services on Wednes day will be as on other days, an earnest seeking after God’s power upon individual Christians and churches of every name, it will be a pleasure to feel that neighborly and fraternally relations to those about us.will be most prominent in thought and prayer. The trustees believe that neither themselves nor the friends living near the camp ground know a tithe of the blessings that have flown out from that center. It is the only place In the state where all church lines and differ ences are lost in the oneness of the Pentecostal standard lifted up by preachers of all denominations, and where the doctrine of entire sanctification is preached so clearly and consistently that over a hun dred pastors of the various churches hear and endorse and co-operate. The aforesaid action of the board of trustees was recorded in their minutes of the last encampment, and the undersigned was directed to report the same to the Jackson papers. He was also directed to respectfully request the multitude of friends in Butts county to co-op erate in making the observance to JACKSON, BUTTS COUNTY. GEORGIA. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 19. 1913 WHO IN JACKSON WILL GO TO HELL ? Will be the theme to be discussed by Rev. M. S. Williams at the Methodist church Sunday morning. THE HIGH AND THE POOR. Today we are rich and tomorrow we are poor, today we are poor and tomorrow we are rich. Isn’t it a pity the world has gone money mad. There is something in all of our nature that makes us all want to be very rich, and in our mad rush for wealth we disregard the inter est of the other fellow. We are all too much inclined to want the oth er fellow to carry the heavy end of the log, and in doing so we have brought untold misery on the hu man race and our posterity. And at last when we come down to the turbid waters of death, if we are rich we get a first-class funeral, our casket banked with costly flowers, and a notice in the press that we were wealthy, and then that is the end of it. and at the same time he has brothers and sisters whose lives have been a struggle, and when the time comes for them to die they perhaps live in a rented shanty, and when their remains are borne to the cemetery there is not a wreath not a flower to lay on the casket, but there comesa soft whisper and says: “I have seen the travail ol my soul and am satisfied.” Wi 1 the world never learri that all this craze about wealth isn’t worth a pinch of snuff. This article is not writ ten to encourage idleness and sloth fulness, but in the interest of a square deal. We are told that in Palistine that when the farmer is making his crop the old Turk hides away in the mountains and when the crop is matured he slips there at night and steals it. But in our own land they have a more digni fied way of doing it. While the cotton farmer is toiling in the hot sun to make his crop, the cotton baron is taking his vacation at some fashionable summer resort, and when the cotton is made be is there ready to help hammer the market and steal his cotton. This is pret ty plain talk, but any method that is employed to take advantage of the helpless is stealing, and you can’t make anything else out of it. Plow Handles.

NO DECISION IN TAX CONTROVERSY No decision has been rendered yet by Judge Daniel in the injunc tion filed by Jasper county on the taxes paid to Butts county by the Central Georgia Power Co- for the dam across the river. It is well understood that Butts owns the river and since the building of the dam, Jasper has been trying to ac quire half of the stream. Jasper has succeeded in getting e. bill passed by the legislature whereby they were able to file an injunction- As no decision has been rendered, the case is at a standstill. It is hardly probable that Butts will lose any taxes. Anyway Butts’ offic ials are looking after the county’s interests and will not be found wanting in the fight. SCHOOL NOTES.

The name of the man Governor Slaton has chosen as Mr. Mercer’s success or has not been made public, but it is understood that a choice has been reached. The fact that Mr. Mercer tvill not be retained in office will not occasion much surprise, nor is it a reflection upon Mr. Mercer’s abili ty or record. While factional lines are being obliterated as much as possible in Georgia, and while Gov ernor Slalon has never stood for factionalism in any sense, Mr. Mercer has always belonged to that wing of the democratic party dia metrically opposite to the present administration, and even by Mr. Mercer’s friends it is considered an entirely natural thing that he should not succeed himself in office.

NO MORE GEORGIA COLONELS Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 18.—A movement is interesting the entire Georgia bar to stop the promiscuous use of titles in this state. They want to “cut out the colonels.” They suggest that such titles as “colonel,” “captain” and “judge” be applied only to such persons as have actually earued them on the battlefield or in military service, or on the bench. For many years past it has been a custom in Georgia as in other southern states to call every lawyer “Colonel” after he has reached middle age and a reasonable amount of distinction, except in the event he wears whiskers, when he is called “Judge” instead. Many of the gentlemen on whom these titles have been thrust by usage are far from desiring them, and are really embarassed bv theii use. The class of people who want such titles without meriting them is so small as to be negligible. The type has passed who used to sing or think: “I want to be a colonel, And with the colonels stand, A cockade on my hat, And a cocktail in my hand.” Most of the spurious colonels of today have not usurped their titles. They have simply had them thrust upon them by a usage which they deplore. In fact the leaders in the movement to do away with the general use of the titles are well known attorneys whose friends have boen for years calling them colonel against their wishes.

Mr. Adair says that more than 30,000 Shriners will travel Atlanta ward next spring. This is more than the entire population of Atlan ta a few years ago. It is more than the entire population of any city in Georgia with the exception of one or two. It is also true that this is the first time in Atlanta’s history when she is in a position to accomodate amply such an enormous gather ing. Her hotel accomodations have been more than doubled dur ingthe past year. Imperial Potentate William W. Irwin, of West Virginia, has visit ed Atlanta, with other imperial officers, all of whom expressed themselves as delighted and thor oughly satisfied with the facilities Atlanta and Georgia offer for en tertaining the monster gathering. “Movies” every night. GEORGIA PEACH TO BE ELECTRIFIED Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 18 —To electrify the Georgia peach is a plan which leading farmers and growers of the state are seriously considering; following the success ful application of electricity to fruit raising in other parts of the coun try. They are planning to galvan ize Miss Elberta. Since X-ray gowns and slit skirts came into style, the Georgia Peach, after a mannerof speaking, has been shocking the people, but now the people plan to turn the tables and shock the peach. But it is real fruit they are talk ing about. Raising vegetables, grains and fruits by electricity is the latest in scientific farming. It is declared that electrtcal current is a great fertilizer and that when the current is turned into the ground it makes things grow faster and better. For instance in the early spring, when one wants to force radishes and onions, the cur rent is applied more frequently and those who have tried it say you can almost see things grow. Now that the tower lines of the Georgia Railway & Power Cos. are carrying the current from Tallulah into all parts of the state, includ ing rural sections, Georgia farmers will have practical opportunity to avail themselves of these latest scientific discoveries.
