“The Great Annual Dividend Payer.’’,
GAMP MEETING AT
INDIAN SPRINGS TO
BE LARGEST EVER
x •
MACON, Ga., June 2.—Of interest to
Christian workers cf all denominations
is the annual camp meeting held at In
dian Spring on August 9-19th.
These meetings, according to the an
nouncement being sent out by the sec
retary, are for ‘the spread of scriptural
holiness” and people of all denomina
tions attending. From Georgia, Florida
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, South
Carolina and other states, Christian
workers with their families and friends
gather by the thousands until this has
come to be the largest camp meeting
in the South, and one of the great
camps of the country.
The trustees have been careful to
maintain a high standard for its pul
pit. For more than twenty-five years
it has been filled by the leading preach
ers of America and other countries.
Dr. Samuel Chadwick, the celebrated
English divine, in an article to one of
the leading religious magazines of his
country, written immediately after his
work at this camp a few years ago!
said: ‘‘lt is, indeed, a mount of vision,
a place of blessing ,a Bethel to many
souls.’
The pulpit committee count them
selves favored this year in the min
istry of Dr. H. C. Morrison and the
Rev. Will Huff. In camp meeting cir- j
clcs they are known as among the
great leaders of the country and thou
sands will avail themselves of this
opportunity to hear them.
Charlie D. Tillman, the South’s sweet
seng leader, will again have charge of
the music. To all who know him this
is sufficient guarantee that there will
be gospel music of ,a high order.
Every year many pastors cf different
denominations attend these meeting’s,
and a larger number than usual are
expected this year because of the uni
versal popularity of Dr. Morrison with
the preachers. To all of them the
trustees extend free entertainment. For
others there are ample hotel and board
ing-house accommodations at low
rates.
The Rev. Geo. W. Mathews of Tifton,
Ga., is president of the board of trus
tees and the Rev. J. M. Glenn, Macon,
Ga., presiding elder of the Macon dis
trict, is secretary of the executive com
mittee. Mrs. N. P. Myers, Waycross,
Ga.. is in charge of the hotel. R. F.
Burden, of Macon, is chairman of the
executive committee.
The great preaching, the wonderful
singing, the delightful fellowship, the
low rates to the famous Indian Spring
with its life-giving waters make this a
most desirable place to spend ten days.

ELEMENTS OF HUMOR
ATLANTA, Ga.. June 2. —Even grim
war has its elements of humor, and
ere of the funniest incidents on record
has developed here in connection with
the work of the secret service in ex
ercisin’ surveillances over enemy al
iens.
In an Atlanta skyscraper a young
naturalized Austrian, whose name it
would not be fair to give, but who
is in the cotton business, has possessed
for several jears an old rusty cannon
ball, relic of the Civil War, which he
keeps on his desk as a paper weigh*
About a year ago, in a spirit of
mischief to frighten an old negro
porter around the office, he got a wisp
of cotton and stuck it in the emptv
cannon baH and lighted the cotton
with a match, pretending that it was i ■
bomb. The negro ran. and that was
all there was to it, for the time being
Bnt the other day the young cotton
man was summoned to the federal
buildin?, and there, to his amazement
found a stack of correspondence some
nine inches high, on the subject of his
suspected bomb plotting activities.
The whole thing apparently traced it
self back to his joke on the negr>!
porter.

♦ ■
ATLANTA. Ga., June 2.—A publicity
committee chairman has been appoint
ed in every one of something like 1,500
cities and towns in the Atlanta Feder
al Reserve District, authorized to ap
point a local committee and requested
and urged to take up at once the cam
paign for the sale of Liberty Bonds in
their cities and sections.
Letters making these appointments
have jjist been sent out by Chairman
St. Elmo Massingale of the Central
Liberty Loan Publicity Qonunittee, and
in each letter was enclosed a printed
circular containing suggestions upon
-which the committee might set immed
iately to work.
To these local committees were also
sent proofs of advertisements which
might be used in their local papers and
they were asked to secure funds from
tanks, merchants, public service cor
porations and others with which to
pay the cost of publishing these adver
tisements. •
The local committees are urged to
have Liberty Loan booths established
in the leading' stores, and Liberty Loan
displays made in prominent windows.
Clergymen, city clubs and others are
asked to co-operate in the work. In
ttc letter appointing the chairmen of
these local committees, Mr. Massen
gale says:
“It is absolutely essential that this
work be in the nature of a speedy, de
cisive drive, as all subscriptions must
be in by June 15th. For further in
formation inquire at your local banks,
and jf you cannot get it there, do not
hesitate to ask us immediately.”
The hope is expressed that these lo
cal committees will go actively to work
at once and that splendid results will
be secured from their efforts.
National Chairman of the Liberty
Loan Publicity Committee, Robert W.
Woolley, has just visited Atlanta, com
ing here from Washington for a con
ference with the Central Committee of
the Atlanta Reserve District. He was
much gratified to note the work already
dene, and especially urged that the
district would do all in its power to
secure subscriptions to the Liberty
Loan Bonds in advance ®f the allot
ment which it is expected to take. Mr.
Woolley is visiting the various head
quarters of the reserve districts and
after arranging a number of matters in
connection with the campaign here
went to Richmond, Va.
Chairman W. C. Wardlaw of the Cen
tral Committee says: “Reports from a
laige number of the cities and towns
in the district indicate the organiza
tion of strong, live committees which
are hard at work "These reports,”
i he said, “seem to show that the public
I is at last beginning to wake up to the
absolute necessity of oversubscribing
the loan. The campaign lias but a lit
tle more than two weeks to run and
the work must be completed within
that time.
I The Central Committee has just re-
N -J
.'ceived 85,000 larite pesters in red,
. I white and blue, urging the general
| participation by all classes in the Lib
. i erty Loan. These posters will be put
