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.

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.
