onstration and PUtkorm.
The National Convention of the
Republican party, to nominate its
candidate for president and formu
late a platform of principles
tiie p
*
which he should go before
pie, met in Chicago Tuesday.
Burrows, from Michigan, was
made temporary -chairman, and

chairman.
Wednesday, the mention of Roose
velt’s name was greeted by a dem
onstration lasting 45 minutes, which
reminded one of the Blaine demon

The platform is distinctly a Roose
velt one, advocating the policies he
has insisted upon. It declares for
tariff revision by a commission, j
against negro disfranchisement, 'for
the extension of i*ural free delivery,
for the restraint of the injunction
power of the courts, wants a more
elastic currency system, favors pos
tal savings hanks, wants pensions in
subjects, and ail the amusement
we can prepare. Free lemonade,
swings, merry-go-rounds, etc., and
a basket dinner. (If you bring a
well-filled basket it will be apprecia
ted. if not, come any way.) Bring
your families and friends and come
to spend the day in a good, old time
way.
Masons in good standing will meet
at the lodge hall at 10 o’clock; from
where they will march in a body to
the park.
The afternoon will be spent in ball
games and other amusements and
the conferring of the third degree.
Come one, come all, and help us
to make it a banner day of the
season.

WAS BEAUTIFUL
Eloquent Sermon by
Millie by Choir and Impreiaivo Dedi
cation of Handsome Buildtaf.
One of the largest congregations
that ever listened to a sermon in Tif
ton attended the dedication ceremo
nies at the First Baptist church Sun
day morning.
Nearly eight hundred people were
seated in the auditorium and gal
leries of the handsome new structure
at eleven o’clock, when the prelude
"Toccato” from Boellman, was soft
ly rendered by the talented young
organist, Miss McCrea
The beautiful church interior had
been made more attractive by large
vases q! cut flowers, and as the
strains of music pealed from the
organ and re-echoed from the vault-
eJ ceiling, the opening was as im
pressive as it was inspiring.
In a new house of worship the
acoustics are always an unknown
quantity until a test is made and are
the subject of much uneasiness to
architect and builder. 1 In this build
ing they appear to bo as good as the
most exacting could desire.
The Methodists held no morning
service after Sunday school and all
of Tifton church-goers turned out to
celebrate with their Baptist brethren
on this most auspicious event. The
anthem, “Praiseye Jehovah,” by a
choir of selected voices, composed of
Mrs. A. R. Colcord, Mrs. J. B. Mur-
row, Mrs. J. J. Golden and Mrs.
Geo. E. Simpson; Messrs. James H.
Price. J. P. Carson and E. C. Myers
was sweetly rendered and was fol
lowed by a short invocation by Dr.
S. Y. Jameson.
Another anthem, "I Will Lift up
Mine Eyes,” preceded the congrega
tional singing of hymn No. 203. The
hymns for this service had been
printed on the program, and the re
sult obtained by the congregational
singing was striking and beautiful.
Rev. J. M. Glenn read a short
scripture lesson in a most powerful
and feeling manner, and followed jf
with an earnest prayer, ,
A trio, Mr. Lawrence and Miss
Tift, violinists: Miss McCrea,
organist, rendered "Adagio” from
Fesca, ahd was followed by another
hymn and then came the dedication
sermon by Dr. Jameson. All those
who knew him anticipated a literary
feast, but Dr. Jameson exceeded the
expectations of his most ardent
friends.
He began by congratulating the
membership on their new building,
and said there was no better in
Georgia, and no man in the state
had a better opportunity than him
self of seeing them all. He said
that he did not agree with the opin
ion too often expressed or implied,
that a meeting-house should be the
plainest ar.d commonest and mo3t
uncomfortable building in the com
munity, but he thought that the
house of worship and a meeting
house for the children of God, should
be the best that their money could
uy,
His text was from Matthew 16-18,
a portion of the verse only, "I Will
Build My Church.” His subject
was “The New Testament Church,”
which he said was Christ's master
piece, the real object of his life’s
work. It was composed of regener
ated people and the feeling of Christ
toward it was best expressed when
He said the church was his bride.
Dr. Jameson spoke briefly of the
different branches of the church, of
Christ's unity with it, for to leave
him out we would have none; of its
great fundamental principles, its
social organization and its power for
good. But the New Testament
church was largely the means to
an end, and that end was salvation.
It made the bad man good, and to
put it on the lowest plane possible,
the church was the cheapest insti
tution a community ever had, no
matter how much the cost, and the
pastor’s salary, no matter how much
he was paid, the best and cheapest
money people ever invested.
Best of all things is salvation, and
in time of trouble ami Rorrow, the
church was the only final comfort
and consolation.
The great purpose of the New
Testament church was salvation to
men. This church was the only
one Christ created, and therefore
the best he could do, because it was
the final summing-up of his life’s
work. Dr. Jameson closed with on
ere Organized La«t Week, With Cej
iUl of $80,000.
Three new firms were grant©
charters, organized and elected offi
cers in Tifton last week, with an ag
gregate capital stock of $80,000.
Charters were granted by Judge
Robert G. Mitchell, and the firms
organized as follows;
J. M. Kant Company.
This company was organized June
9th, with a capital stock of $5,000,
and incorporated under the laws of
the state of Georgia.
The following officers were elected:
Harry Kent, President,
C. C. Guest, Vice-President,
Frank Scarboro, Secretary and
Treasurer,
J. M. Kent, Manager.
The firm will do a general broker
age business, handling hay, grain,
feed-stuff, etc., in carload lots.
Comfort Packnf e-Tie Company.
This company was organized June

laws of the state of Georgia, with a
paid-in capital stock of $25,000. The
following officers were elected:
David Comfort, President,
Joseph Bennor, Vice-President.,
Frank Scarboro, Secretary and
Treasurer.
The Farmers’Supply Company of Tifton.
The Farmers’ Supply Company of
Tifton, was organized June 9th, un
der the laws of the state of Georgia,
with a capital paid in of $50,000,
with the following officers:
Frhnk Scarboro, President,
W. W. Timmons, Vice-President,
N. D. Pinkston, Secretary and
Treasurer,
C. L. Parker, General Manager.
Directors: H. H. Tift, W. W.
Timmons, W. W. Banks, Frank Seal -
boro, C. L. Parker, W. E. Farmer,
C. D. Fish, W. H. Willis, C. W.
Rickerson and C. C. Guest.
It is proposed to do a general far
mers’ supply business, and to carry
a complete line of merchandise,
hardware, farm supplies, farm im
plements, groceries, hay and grain,
buggies and wagons and live stock.
Also to act as brokers for produce
and fruit. The firm will have an
experienced cotton buyer on hand
all through the fall.
The company was organized pii-
marlly for the benefit of the far
mers, and its principal object is to
establish Tifton as a cotton market,
and enable the farmer to get export
prices for his cotton and other p od-
ucts.
Many influential farmers are con
cerned, and others will be before it is
open for business. It’s promoters
want Tift county developed in an
agricultural way, and to see the far
mers succeed. y *

Price* Much Lower then Lest Year,
When There Wes e Big Drop
from thet of 1906.
The wool-growers of Tift county
and the section surrounding Tifton,
including a portion of the counties
of Irwin, Worth, Colquitt and Ber
rien, will meet in Tifton on Wednes
day, July 15th, for the purpose of
disposing of their clip for 1908.
The growers formed what they
eall a club and have met in Tifton
every season for the past seven or
eight years, and sold their clip for
the year in a lump.
Buyers from several cities and rep
resenting large export firms are al
ways in attendance, and by getting
the buyers and growers together,
much better prices and more satis'
factory deals are always made
With the growers from this sec
tion will be included this year, as
they were last, the clip of W. C.
Sumner and sons, from Liberty
county, Florida, who will sell their
clip here but ship it from Florida.
Mr. Sumner or one of his sons will
be here on the day of the sale, to
gether with about eighteen or twen
ty other growers.
Last year nearly 20,000 pounds
were sold here, and this year the
growers think there will be a little
more than there was the year pre
vious The clip is about the same in
this section that it was last year,
hut it is probable that a few more
growers will come in. Last year the
crop brought 23.80 cents per pound,
a decreasa of nearly 5c. over 1906,
wiien tlie crop brought 28.50 cents
per pound. This year the price is
still lower, quotations ranging now
from 15 to 18 cents. '
