When Rev. J- D. Matheson re-,
turned from the Sarepta Baptist As- J
sociation which met this year in 1
Carlton, he said ’This session of the i
Sarepta Association was the best I
ever attended. The attendance was;
the largest, sermons the most im
pressive, music the most inspiring
and enthusiasm the most manifest
in all the history of this unit of the
Southern Baptist Church. Dr. Louie
D. Newton, eminent divine, who is J
pastor of Druid Hills Church in At- j
lanta with a membership' of more j
than 3500, was a guest speaker, and |
let me tell you, he was at his best. I
I was very proud of the large dele
gation which went from our own'
Jefferson First Baptist Church. Wish
you could have been with us.” We
have attended several sessions of the
Sarepta Association, one of which
was at Carlton, where the late Dr.
W. M. Coile preached. We always
enjoy these meetings of the Sarepta,
one of the greatest associations of
the Southern Baptist Church.
That was a memorable message
delivered by Bishop Watkins last
Sunday at 11:00 A. M. in the First
Methodist Church of Jefferson of
which his son, Rev. Lamar Watkins
his son, is pastor. The late Colonel
Sam Tate said to us more than
once, “In the Methodist Church
there is no more effective preacher
and no greater pulpit messenger
than our own William T. Watkins.”
We were glad to have him come
back to the county where he was
born and reared, and preach to his
kinfolks and friends.
We have been reading in the last I
few days some very interesting j
things about husbands and wives.
One wife sued for divorce because
she was allergic to her husband.
When in his presence she breaks out
with something like measles or itch.
She says her husband is one of the
noblest and best of men, but she just
can’t bear the itching he causes.
Another woman asked divorce from
her husband because he knocked her
down with a deadly bludgeon.
When asked by the judge to name
the weapon, she said, “He hit me
with a Bible.” But the most con
temptible and loathsome thing we
think we ever read was when a hus
band aided and abetted his wife to

him for three years in the Federal
Penitentiary.
Our whole country has been very
much disturbed in the last few days
because of information that has
come to President Truman that
Russia has the atomic secret. This
may be true or may not be, but
whether true or false we do not be
lieve the people of Russia wish to
see the atomic bomb used as a war
weapon any more than the people
of the United States, England or
France, all of which countries made
an effort to outlaw poison gas and
the atomic bomb in warfare, but
Russia refused to join them. This
country, it is said, has a large sup
ply of bombs on hand.
Even since the registration law
has been declared constitutional
unanimously by the Supreme Court
of Georgia, some daily papers are
not satisfied with this court decision,
but declare another case will be car
ried to the Supreme Court of Geor
gia or the law will be tested in the
Federal Court. They suggest that the
law be suspended until all the courts
pass on it. This encourages law
breakers and racketeers to violate
other laws. It encourages liquor
dealers to ignore laws and sell in
toxicants in dry counties and other
persons to operate slot machines
and still others to violate laws
against burglary, murder and rape.
It seems to us that these great news
dispensers should say since the reg
istration law has been declared con
stitutional, everybody over 18 years
of age should now register. They
| should exhort people to “obey the
law.”
J. F. Thomas, of Pendergrass, said
to us a few days ago, “Our children
are all married and no one is at
home except wife and me, but we
both are busy. We raise chickens,
and now have 800 hens laying for
the hatchery. We milk some cows.
While we work, we really are hav
ing an easy time.” Mr. Thomas is
one of Jackson County’s partici
pants in the five acre corn and cot
ton contests. A gentleman who has
seen the farming operations of Mr.
Thomas said, “Mr. Thomas is right
at the front in the five acre cotton
and corn contest. He seems to us to
be a winner.” Mr. Thomas co-oper
ates 100 per cent with the Soil Con
servation forces in the Oconee River
Soil Conservation District. He
makes his farm more productive
each year.

Uncle Sam Says
The first oil well was drilled in 1859,
ninety years ago. Drilling is still go

when many of my nephews and nieces

a safe, sure way of holding on to some
