Southern Baptist Convention Meets
In Atlanta Beginning May 14th
Much interest is being manifested
by Baptists of Hartwell, Hart coun
ty and the entire Hebron Associa
tion in the approaching session of ,
the Southern Baptist Convention,
which convenes in Atlanta May 14th
and continues through the 19th.
The Convention met in Atlanta
four years ago, when the denomi
nation’s great 75-million campaign
was launched, and it is very fitting
that this body returns to the Geor
gia city to rejoice in the successful
carrying out of their plans made at
that time.
Large delegations from all Bap
tist churches in this section will at
tend the convention, special rates
being in effect on the railroads. The
splendid condition of the dirt roads
between Hartwell and Atlanta af
fords easy access in four to five
hours, and many will go in automo
biles.
The Hebron Association, compos
ed of some 40 churches in this im
mediate section, has long been one
of the largest in the Georgia Con
vention, and will go to the South
ern Convention with a remarkable
record along all lines, especially in
the 75-million campaign.
The Hartwell church stands to the
forefront in contributing to the
campaign, more than $40,000.00 hav
ing been paid already on their
pledge of some $55,000.00. This is
perhaps the best report made by any
Baptist church of this size in Geor
gia.
The Southern Baptist Convention
will hear a splendid report of pro
gress during the past five years, both
at home and in the foreign fields.

HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 9,1924
Rev. J. D. Matheson Accepts
Call To Pastorate of First
Baptist Church Coeburn, Va.
Hundreds of friends in Hartwell
and Hart county, as well as over
the entire State, will be deeply in
terested to know that Rev. Julius
D. Matheson, son of Mrs. J. D.
Matheson, of Hartwell, and who has
just completed his studies at the
Seminary in Louisville, Ky., this
week goes to Coeburn, Va., where
he accepts the pastorate of the First
Baptist church.
A number of splendid calls had
been extended Rev. Matheson, among
them a call to Jonesboro and one or
two more Georgia churches.
The city of Coeburn has about
5,000 inhabitants, is located in the
famous “Trail of the Lonesome
Pine” section of Virginia, has an ac
tive Kiwanis Club, numerous other
organizations, and a handsome new
Baptist church, as well as a modern
pastorium for Rev. Matheson and
his charming wife.
Leaving a large law practice in
Hartwell several years ago to take
up this great work of his denomina
tion, Rev. Matheson has already
made a record, and this recognition
of his ability by the Baptists of the
thriving Virginia city is pleasing to
his many friends and relatives down
in Georgia and elsewhere.
During his stay in Louisville he
served as pastor of the Baptist
church at Sanders, Ky.
The best wishes of all go with
Rev. and Mrs. Matheson as they take
up their work at Coeburn.

Prominent conservationists and

Policeman Cason’s Left Eye
Removed On Last Friday
The many friends of Night Po
liceman Jud Cason will regret to
know that it was necessary to re
move his left eye last Friday. The
eye had been giving him trouble for
several years, and on going to the
Anderson, (S. C.) Hospital for
treatment it was decided immediately
that the best course to pursue was
to remove the eyeball in order to
save the other eye.
He returned home on Saturday,
and while the operation is still giv
ing some pain he is able to be out
again.
We sincerely trust the other eye
will give him no trouble.
Former Hartwell Citizen Is Offered
$50,000 For Auto Accessory Patent
That Mr. Reed A. Banister, form
er Hartwell young man, son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. Calhoun Banister, of
this city, bids fair to become rich
through a patent on an auto brake
lining came out last week in the
Opelika (Ala.) Daily News. For
the past ten years he has made his
home in Opelika, where he oper
ates a large garage.
The article from the Opelika
News, which appeared on the first
page in large type, is as follows:
“Opelika has produced an inven
tor, who may now be a rich man,
in his possession of a patent that
was filed back in April, 1922.
“R. A. Banister, local garage
owner, has received an inquiry from
certain interests in New York City,
asking if he will agree to take $50,-
000 for his rights in patent on a
certain band brake liner which he
invented three years ago. A con
tract was inclosed in the letter con
taining the inquiry, with instruc
tions for Mr. Banister to sign and
return. The local mechanic, how
ever, will hold up his action until
his attorney has time thoroughly to
digest the proposed agreement.
“The contract carries two options,
one for the outright sale of the pat
ent for $50,000 and the other for

XIN THIS
ISSUE
Sunday is “Mother’s Day,” and
will be fittingly observed in Hart
well.
Special services at the churches
will feature the day here. Our peo
ple always enter heartily into the
observance of the time set apart
for paying tribute to God’s noble
gift to man -“Mother.”
About 15 years ago the celebra
tion of the second Sunday in May
was observed at Mother's Day in a
number of cities, towns, and villages
of America, the movement having
been founded by Mrs. Anna Jarvis
of Philadelphia. In 1914 by act of
Congress this Sunday was officially
dedicated as “National Mother’s
Day.” The Mother's Day emblem
is the white carnation.
SIO,OOO in cash and ten per cent
on all brake liners manufactured
and sold.
"Mr. Banister, who has quietly
worked at his invention for the past
three years, with the view of perfect
ing it still further, just received -his
patent this month. It has been three
years since he first filed application
for the patent, and during all these
months he has remained steadfast
in his conviction that his invention
was destined to bring its full re
ward. Just a few months ago he
equipped certain trucks in this sec
tion with the liners, trucks that were
certain to bear the heaviest tasks
and wear. It was on these ma
chines that he expected to a
real test of his invention. All re
ports are unanimous that the uners
are holding up to expectations.
“The brake-band liner is calculated
to give at least a hundred per cent
more service than any already in
use. Mr. Banister says that his in
vention will greatly improve the
brake system on any make of auto
mobile and last twice as long ns any
liner he has ever seen. The local
friends of the Opelika mechanic are
showering congratulations on his ap
parent success in the field of inven
tion.”

The Hart Circuit Singing Conven
