A Common Question
WHAT HAS THE Federal Rerserve System
ever done for me? That was the question a
working man asked us some days ago. He
said he considered it a good thing for the rich
man but of no value to men like himself.
“Do you remember the panic of 1907?’’ we
asked.
“You bet I do,” he said. “The panic came so
quickly I could not get ready for it. Work
stopped. The banks could not let us have
money. We were certainly up against it
good and proper.”
“That panic would never have happened,”we
told him, “if the Federal Reserve System had
been organized then. At that time each bank
had to stand alone. When danger appeared, we
simply had to protect overselves the best we
could.
“Strong banks help to make good times. The
Federal Reserve System is a benefit to every
body in America.”

LAMAR SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION
The late session of the Lamar
County Sunday School Convention,
held at Milner, was indeed a gratify
ing success. Every Sunday school
in the county, except two, was rep
resented, which was a very fine show
ing. One very remarkable circum
stance was that the attendance of the
public was greater than usual, de
spite the fact that an all-day singing
was in full blast just two miles
away.
The speeches of Dr. E. T. Holmes,
Mr. John T. Middlebrooks, Judge C.
J. Lester, State Superintendent Webb
and Young People’s Superintendent,
Miss Batchelder, of Atlanta, were all
good and enjoyed by the crowd.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President—Luther Holmes.
Vice President —John T. Middle
brooks.
Secretary—H. A. Sappington.
Children’s Division Superintend
ent—Miss Mattie Tyus.
Young People’s Division Superin
tendent —Mrs. Z. T. Maxwell.
Superintendent Adult Division—
Emmett Langford.
President District No. I—John G.
Bush.
President District No. 2—Pierce
Hammond.
ANOTHER GOOD DAY
The Barnesville Advertising club
had another good day Monday when
the eighth monthly Golden Rule sale
was held. The visitors from the sur
rounding communities were not so
numerous as on some of the other
days but there was a fairly good
crowd present, however, particularly
shoppers from the city being out and
participating in the buying of the
bargains offered by many of the
merchants. Several of the mer
chants sold practically all the offer
ings they had for the day, some of
them taking in over a $lOO in cash,
which sounds pretty good for a dull
season.
Nearly all the members of the club
express themselves as well pleased
with the day’s results, considering the
season of the year. There -is no
doubt that the day’s results, consid
ering the season of the year, were
very satisfactory. There is no doubt
the Golden R'ule sales are fine for the
merchants and for the patrons.
THE “COMMUNITY SING”
The “Community Sing” on Sunday
afternoons is growing in interest and
enthusiasm.
The singing last Sunday afternoon,
under the leadership of Mr. John G.
Bush, was full of “pep” and zeal.
The people of Barnesville and Lamar
county who do not attend this sing
ing are missing something.
Be with us next Sunday afternoon
at 5 o’clock at the Club House and
take part in the singing.

MR. DREXE’S RESIGNATION
The people of Barnesville and La
mar county regret exceedingly that
Mr. E. P. Drexel, vocational agent for
Lamar, Pike and Upson counties, ha3
found it necessary to resign the po
sition he has held and to leave the
work here. It was due to the hard
financial conditions, which seemed to
make it impossible for funds to be
forthcoming with which to his
salary.
Mr. Drexel’s retirement from the
work here is little short of a calamity
to the people. He has done a re
markably fine work, which has pro
duced results which have been highly
satisfactory to the people. He ha3
started a work which by all means
he should have been permitted to
continue, for it was developing an
industry that is proving a vast bene
fit and profit to the section.
Mr. and Mrs. Drexel have hosts of
friends in Barnesville and in this ter
ritory who regret greatly to see them
leave here.
U. D. C. MEETING
The United Daughters of the Con
federacy will meet Friday afternoon,
July 14th, at four-thirty o’clock, at
the Club House. All members are
urged to be present.
PRIMARY ARRANGED FOR
The Democratic Executive com
mittee of Lamar county met in the
City Hall last Saturday morning and
arranged for the primary for nomina
ting a Representative and Congress
man, the only local candidates on
which the voters of the county will
have any choice in this year.
The committee selected the date of
the State primary as the date for the
primary. An assessment of $25 was
fixed for each candidate for congress
and $2O for each representative. The
last day for entry by any candidate
was fixed as Saturday, July 15th.
Those present at the meeting Sat
urday were Prof. J. D. Smith, chair
man; W. A. LeSueur, secretary; J.
B. W. Godard, F. F. Haygood, W. R.
Dai’den, J. W. Elliott. The members
of the committee who were absent
were W. H. Phinazee, T. G. Dumas,
T. M. Allen, J. B. Head and J. J.
Darden.
HELDFOR SHOOTING
The Lamar Grand Jury has an
other case on its hands, because H.
T. Cheatem and Martin Carroll, of
Miami, Fla., could not resist the
temptation of a little “target prac
tice” in public. They fired at J. T.
Littlejohn, a Lamar county citizen,
and a Mr. Kennedy, of Spalding
county, as they passed them in a car
near Orchard Hill, Friday morning.
A .38 Winchester rifle, loaded with
steel jacket bullets, was used in the
affray. The affair was immediately
’phoned here to Chief Reviere, but
as they had already passed here, he
’phoned to Sheriff Hicks in Macon,
who nabbed them and sent them back
to Chief Reviere. At a preliminary
trial they were bound over to the
Grand Jury. They furnished bond
and were released.
A SPLENDID CONVENTION
The second annual convention of
the Sunday School convention of the
Centennial association convened with
the Meansville Baptist church Thurs
day and Friday of last week and
proved to be one of the most inter
esting and profitable meetings held
in this section in a long time. The
program was an excellent one and it
was carried out in the best possible
way, everybody on it responding on
time and with something well worth
while. The meeting was really re
markable because of the many good
things presented covering the va
rious phases of Sunday School work.
Much of the credit for its success is
due to the efficient work of the pres
ident, Mr. H. Grady Langford, of
Meansville.
The people of the Meansville com
munity, one of the best communities
in Georgia, added to the pleasure and
success of the event by the splendid
hospitality in entertaining all pres
ent at the convention, spreading ex
cellent dinners the two days the con
vention was in session.
Dr. Joseph Broughton, superin
tendent of the Tabernacle Baptist
Sunday School of Atlanta, made an
address Friday, which was greatly
enjoyed and proved to be an inspira
tion to the large audience which
heard him.
Among the others who contributed
greatly to the success of the conven
tion were Mr. James W. Merritt,
field worker for the Baptists of
Georgia, Rev. Arthur Jackson, of
Barnesville, Rev. J. W. R. Jenkins,
of Zebulon, Rev. C. S. Durden, of
Thomaston, Rev. George R. Brown,
of Forsyth, Dr. E. T. Holmes of
Barnesville and Rev. W. W. Marr of
Yatesville.
Friday morning there was a
demonstration of primary work a3
carried on in the primary department
of the Sunday School of the First
Baptist church of Barnesville which
was witnessed with keen interest and
which was very helpful. There were
fifteen or twenty small children in
the demonstration, which was in!
charge of Mis3 Mary Wooten, assisted
by Mrs. L. A. Collier, Mrs. Farris
Hall, Miss Lorenna Reeves and Miss
Mary Jordan.
The following were as of
ficers for the convention for the com
in year: Mr. H. Grady Langford,
president; Mr. R. D. Higgins of
Yatesville, Mr. A. E. Robertson of
Thomaston and Mr. D. M. Willis of
Molena, vice presidents; Mr. Perrin
Collier of Barnesville, secretary;
Miss Mattie Tyus, superintendent
elementary department. The con
vention will meet next year with the
Baptist church of Thomaston.
