Baptist Drive
Begins Sunday.
Next Sunday the Baptists <>f
Georgia will launch with great
enthusiasm their state wide Vic
tory Drive for $125,000 cash. In
the week between Feb. 9-16. the
Baptists plan to rah c* this amount
in cash in addition to a special
drive being put on in Atlanta to
raise $50,000 for the Georgia Bap
tist Hospital, which will make a
grand total of $175,000 cash to pay
. every dollar of every debt on
every Institution owned by the
Georgia Baptist Convention.
The organization for this big
push is practically completed.
Teams of ten with key-men as
team leaders have been set up in
every community in the State
where there are any considerable
number of Baptists. Each team
stands for a minimum of SIO6O
and each team-worker fora mini
mum of SIOO. These teams are
geared for speed, to which there
is no limit and it is freely pre
dicted by the leaders that, the
work of the first day or two will
win a complete Victory. Next
Sunday every Baptist preacher
in the State is urged to pr< ch on
“Drive,” giving information as
to the needs of the Institution in
volved and calling on the people
! to get squarely behind the effort.
Great z< st has been added to
the campaign by the generous
offer of Mercer University and
Bessie Tift College to give four
very liberal scholarships to the
four teams going the farthest

No car is better than its tires.
And time lost through tire troubles cannot
be replaced.
Good tires are the best practical guarantee
of your car’s continuous and economical
service.

over SIOOO cash, new money,
i t team, and four additional
scholarships to the four individual
twim-workers going the farthest
over SIOO cash, new money.
These scholanihips are worth
while, for they range in value
to the student from SI4OO down
to S2OO. This is a fine opportu
nity for teams and team-workers
to help some worthy young men
and women to go to college. The
prospect is that there will be
some lively contests among the
teams and the team-workers over
these valuable rewards.

Personality a Business
Asset in All Lines.
Mr. F. S. Royster, President of
the F. S. Royster Guano Com
pany, whose advertisement ap
pears in another part of this pa
per, believes that no business can
grow so large that the personal
element may be left out. People
like to deal withal real man, one
who owns and controls his own
business. He is always saying
that the only drawback to having
built up a business which ex
tends over many states and takes
many factories to supply is that
he cannot meet and talk to all his
customers face to face as he did
when he started in business thirty
three years ago. But as the
years go by and capable men
whom he has trained relieve him
of some of his burdens, he feels
more and more desirous of hear
ing from actual users of Royster
goods and will welcome letters
from any old or prospective cus
tomers. He has specialized all
his life on plant-foods for our
Southern crops and soils and
places unreservedly at your com
mand his own practical experi
ence and that of his technical
experts. Write to him about your
plant-food problems. Just ad

Picric Plant May be Used.
Brunswick. Feb. I.— Rumors
are still persistent that the Gov
ernment’s big picric acid plant in
Brunswick, which was near!.'.*
completed at the end of the war,
w hen the work was stopped, ha
or will pass into the hands of a
big corporation, but so far as se
curing anything definite on the
matter it appears impossible.
Ever since work was stoppeu
on the plant a large office force
has been maintained, especially
in the Government office, and
much material, which was to be
; used in the completion of the
plant, has been sold. This large
force, it is now stated, has about
finished work and will shortly
leave the city. With this an
nouncement comes the report that
a deal is now on for the entire
plant.
Those here who would be in
position to know state emphati- 1
cally they do not know anything
about such a deal. The only real
deal made, it is stated, has been |
with the Atlantic Refining Com
pany, for the use of a number of
the houses in the white settle
ment, which are to be used by
employes of the refinery until
their houses can be built. This
company is now adding rrmn
daily and some oi them are al- i
ready living in the houses at the
picric plant.
As to the future of the gigantic
plant started by the Government,
in which upward of five millkn
dollars has already been invested,
no one knows, but the genera!
consensus of opinion here is that
the property will be utilized.
