FAVOR WOMEN
FOR DEACONS
Southwest Georgia Presbytery
Goes On Record On Several
Progressive Proposals
MOULTRIE, April 22 The South
west Georgia Presbytery which has
just ended its spring session here,
went on record as being in favor of
admitting women as members of the
board of deacons. The action was in
to an overture front the gen-
asembly of the church. Another
oerture that was answered by the
presbytery in the affirmative was
that which limits the terms of office
of elders and deacons. The over
ture proposes to give each church the
liberty every five years of re-electing
its elders and deacons, either drop
ping or adding any whom the congre
gation may desire to seat or unseat
in these offices. This overture is con
trary to the historic custom of the
Presbyterian church, and it is certain
that there will be a warm debate on
it at the meeting of the general as
sembly in Charleston, W. Va., in May,
according to delegates to the Presby
tery here. The Southwest Georgia
presbytery by its action on the two
proposals has definitely aligned itself
with the progressive element of the
church, but ip Presbyterian circles in
this section of the state it is doubted
that this element will prevail at the
forthcoming session of the general
assembly.
The reports submitted to the pres
bytery here revealed that the
churches composing it have made fine
progress during the past few months.
The three churches showing the larg
est number of additions weret Al
bany, Moultrie and Thomasville. The
total additions to these three churches
werfe 172. Quitman and Bainbridge
churches also made good reports.
Kvv. D. W. Brannen, of Moultrie,
and V. M. Custer, of Bainbridge, were
elected commissioners to the general
assembly. J. M. Patterson, of Boston,
acted as moderator at the presbytery
and Rev. R. F. Simpson, of Donald
sonville, preached the opening ser
mon. The attendance was large,
practically every church in the pres
bytery being represented.
CAPT. R. N. WESTBROOK,
ALBANY EX-CHIEF, DIES
ALBANY, April 22.—Capt. R. N.
Westbrook, former chief of police
here, died at his Broad street home
Thursday night, following a long ill
ness. Funeral services were held at
Ast. Paul’s Episcopal church Saturday
Capt. Westbrook was
once one of the leading figures in
South Georgia, and during the more
than thirty years he was at the head
of the police department here was a
leader in local politics, being accused
jy some of being the political czar
of the community. He retired volun
tarily several years ago and lived in
retirement afterwards, being a man
of considerable means. He leaves
two sons, Cruger Westbrook, of Al
bany, and Parker Westbrook, of Wil
mington, N. C. K'is only grandchild
is Richard Tift, a student at the Uni
versity of Georgia, and a son of Capt.
Westbrook's only daughter, who died
some time ago.

PIONEER WOMAN OF 82
KILLED BY SLOW FORD
CORDELE, April 24.—Mrs. Sarah
Jane Musselwhite, aged 82 years,
who had resided on the home place
her ancestors settled before the
county of Dooly was laid out in 1824,
was run over and killed by a cut
down Ford automobile driven by
Royal Smith, young postal clerk in
Cordele, on the Hatley road Sunday
morning shortly after 8 o’clock. She
was making an effort to save from
being hit by the car a calf which she
thought was in danger at the time
and she turned directly in front of
the car. The Ford was not moving
fast, but knocked her down and the
front wheel passed over chest. She
lived an hour after the accident.
'The young man was going to visit
his parents who lived on the road
just beyond the’point of the acci
dent. He is a highly esteemd young
man and no one is disposed to lay
fault to him for the accident.
The funeral of Mrs. Musselwhite
took place this afternoon. She has
large numbers of relatives in the
county and this community who de
plore the accident.
Mr. and Mrs. Garnett Arrington,
and little son, Harry, of Montgom
