Amount Assessed. Campaign Starts
on November SO.
One of the biggest movements smong
tburch people in the history of America
it the Baptist 75 Million Campaign re
cently launched by the Southern Baptist
Convention. Both in point of the am-
eont of money to be raised and of the
number of people involved in the cam
paign, this >s the outstanding effort of
any one denomination.
The Southern Baptist Convention in
its recent neasion in Atlanta unanimously
voted to enter upon this big campaign
with more than 4,000 delegates voting
representing eighteen states, the move
ment was definitely undertahen.
Dr. L. R. Scarborough, president of
the Southwestern Theological Seminary
at Fort Worth, Texas, has been chosen as
director of the campaign for the South.
Associated with him are a number of
special secretaries.

To the Readers of the Daily and Weekly
Gazette:
Home i* all the song to the people over
here. As today in Sunday I will write
n few lines to our paper. 1 am still
placed in Germany but long to aail across
the wide sea, home, as we have finished
the great world war and long to tail for
our home, to our fathers and mothers and
wives. The boys of France and Germany
have seen what war is and did not ihind
it a bit. Have gone through with It end
had a taste of it. We went in the rain
during the war. We could not go in the
day time; we hiked at night and alept in
the day. ;•
We did not know what a good home
was, but now I can tell hpme is the only
place for us, and the boys in the A. B.
F. are looking for you all in the States
to wake up and get us back in the Statea.
We left home and came over here and
faced death for it, aud now we long *to
aail for the States again. We have alept
in all sorts of places and eat all kinds
of chow, and when the armistice wan.
signed we were nea r the lines coming
Dehorning Cattle.
Before domestication horns on cattle
were-useful as a protection against other!
wild ^pimals, but now they are not need
ed for this purpose and are the source of
much annoyance. Horns are responsible
for frequent injuries to animals and to
persona caring for them. They are very
objectionable on animals being handled
frequently and at times when they are
brought, together in large number or wbeu
crowded for shipment. Cattle without
horns are usually more docile and make
better use of their feed in the production
of either beef or milk. Such animals
require less space for housing, may be fed
and watered in the ordinary manner, and
thereby require less labo r in their .care
and management.
With the exception of animals intended
for show purposes there is every reason
for- d.ehorning. Dehorned animals are
found occasionally in the show ring, but
the leading show animals are practically
all horned. The horns add to the attrac
tiveness and help to show the character
istics of the class or breed to which an
auimal belongs. These points are very
much desired by the man in the show

Georgia's quota in the big effort will
be one-tenth of the total—97,500,000.
This will be a tremendous increase in
the giving of the Baptists of the state,
but it is not ns great an increase ns is
asked of the Texas Baptists who will
"raise $10,000,000.
The date for the campaign is Novem
ber 30-December 7. This will be the bus!
est week ever known to the Baptists of
this state. All the plans of the interven
ing five months will culminate in the
drive for the money during the eight
days. The amount of money ia to he
given in five years, but all subscribed
during this week.
The Georgia headquarters will be in At
lanta. The office force will be enlarged
as the campaign approaches until it is
expected that there will be many people
at the task of getting ready the state for
the appeal. A speakers bureau will be
organized and will provide speakers for
the entire state.
There ar« approximately 2,500 white
Baptist churches in Georgia. This will
mean a big task if the organisation is
perfected by the last of November. The
officials are determined that this shall be
accomplished and that the first state to
go over the top in the Baptist 75 Million
Campaign will be the Empire State of the
South.

Among those attending the funeral from
Tifton were: Dr. A. J. Kemp and fam
ily: J. N. Brown, J N Horne and H T.

Bro. Kemp was a veteran in the min
istry, having served twenty years in the
South Georgia Conference. He was ad
mitted on trial at Dublin in 1899: served
three years at Adel and Hahira; four
years at Unadilla; one year at Coiqnitt;

obliged .‘t<$ mcke a change at the end of
this year. He seemed reluctant to do so
for be like! the country and the people
and was held in high esteem not only by
.hose of his church but Dy the public
generally.
Bro. Kemp waa a builder an! during his
c; nistry built churches at Adel, iluliira.
I'nadilla and Shingler. He came near
C%ng in 1914 and was urged to take a
superannuated license but could not make
up his mind to do so. His bodily strength
however was not equal to his zeal and
energy and he died in harness, as perhaps
he would have wished. Even to the last
he was at work, for on the morning be
fore his death he intended to catch the
■train for Brookfield to assist Pastor
Breuton in a meeting also to a
Pastor Rabun, at Harding. He ran,' but
missed the train, and it was afte r his ie-
tur n home that he came back to town and
was sitting in a drug store when the
fatal attack came.
