| "l am confident we will go over
! one hundred millions.”
| This Is the spirit of the campaign
j lu every part of the state, and there
I is every reason to believe that Geor
gia will be among the first to reach
her quota when the actual canvass
is made.
Good news comes from every part
I of the state and from the South in
ihe campaign. Several Georgi.
i churches have raised their quotas, and
many assoclationul quotas are being
j raised by the vote of the associations.
More than a dozen associations have
done this already.
The Atlanta and Macon and Colum
bus organizations are among the lead
ing city organizations thus far. The
towns and smaller cities of the state
have gone forward with the work
In unanticipated fashion.
The First Baptist Chun h of Or*f
flu was thv first to be organized In
the slate. The Morgan County Asso
ciation was the first association to
complete the organization out through
every church. Many other associa
tions have done this now.
From Texas comes the word that
the Baptists of that state have raised
their quota from sixteen to seventeen
million. This Is the most remarkable
Illustration of the spirit lu which the
campaigu Is being received on record
One man has given a million dol
lars In Texas. Other big gifts are
coming in from every part of the South
aud It Is expected that before the ac
tual drive for funds Is made In De
cetuber that there will I e five million
dollars in baud as a result of these
special and unsolicited gifts.
A number of big gifts are in pro*
pect In Georgia and Dr. Cree hopes
to anuounce these before very -ong
There has ' eon no effort to get these
gifts In Georgia yet. and the fact that
they are coming unsolicited Is good
evidence of the response of the people.
When the Georgia Baptist Conven
tion meets lu Macon In November, It
is the plan of the officials of the cam
paign to have every worker in the
state present. hit will result in _n
attendance of more than five thousand
people which will break all records f
any state convention in the South.
"The campalrn is going fine, and
wc are very grateful for the co-oper
atiou of Georgia Baptists " is the
ihuJlaallc comment of Dr.‘ Cree.
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1019.
THE COMING CIRCUS
The Sparks World Famous
Shows are to Exhibit at
Vidalia, Saturday, Oct. 11,
and from the newspaper reports
preceding them their exhibition
will be worth going many miles;
to witness.
• Os the many features carried j
by the shows this season, some
of the Animal Acts are without
doubt the most wonderful and
thrilling ever presented to an
American audience. The big
group of fighting forest-bred
lions, all full grown males, give
an exhibition that is full of thrills,
and the audience is left with a
positive feeling of awe at man’s
wonderful mastery over the brute
creation.
Another extraordinary feature
with the show is Capt. Tiebor’s
troupe of educated Seals and Sea
Lions. These interesting sea
animals perform the most seam
inglv impossible feats; balancing
chairs, umbrellas and whirling
brands of fire while climbing lad
ders, walking tight ropes and
riding the backs of galloping
horses. This feature baffles de
scription and must be seen to be
a )preciated.
Many other wonderful things
are to be seen with this mam
moth show, and the main perfor
mance beneath the big tents will
present a number of the most
marvelous foreign acts of the
century.
The menagerie of wild animals
carried with the show is complete
in every detail, and contains rare
and curious specimens of the
earth’s most interesting and curi
ous animals.
A mile long street parade of
dazzling splendor, beautiful wom
en, and handsome horses, inter
spersed with three brass bands
and a steam calliope will traverse
the streets shortly before noon,
and this feature alone will be
worth going many miles to see.
Don’t forget the date and the
place of exhibition, Saturday,
Oct. 11, at Vidalia.
Cotton Drive Being Organized
Atlanta. —Maj. D. F. McClatchey,
campaign manager of the Georgia di
vision, American Cotton Association,
announce., the rapid completion of t e
state organization by counties for the
bits membership drive which is to be
undertaken during the month of Oc
tober In behalf of the American Cot
ton Association in Georgia. County
chairmen are being appointed in ev
en county of the state as rapidly as
possible, and these in turn will se
cure active executive committeemen
in the various school districts to push
the drive for members. In addition
to these, come of the most prominent
and influential men of Georgia are
lending their efforts and assistance
in presenting the aims and purposes
of the organization to the farmers
of the state in a series of public
speakings and addresses at state fairs,
mass meetings and other gatherings
of cotton men. Practiealy no raiser
of cotton or dealer in the South s
greatest staple will be ignorant of the
association or the tremendous serv
ice whcth it is attempting to do for
the Soult and its citizens by the eud
of the campaign.
Big Incrcease In Pension List
Atlanta. —More than two thousand
pension applications have been receiv
ed by Pension Commissioner Lindsay
due to the amendment of the state
pension lavt by the last legislature.
Under the old law no Confederate vet
eran or widow of a veteran could
secure a pension from the state of
Georgia if he or she possessed prop
erty to the value of $1,500. This prop
! erty restriction was ren.cved by an
I act of the 1019 legislature. Another
amendmeut to the pension law pro
vides that widows of Confederate vet
erans may secure pensions prov ided
they were married pr or to 1881. thus
eliminating another restriction •vhich
had preventec. many widows of vet
, erans from securing financial aid from
the state. In the -'hs» of Confederate
veterans, it is now necessary only to
, show actual service in the Confeder
ate urmies and no property consider
, attons can militate to prevent the ap
proval of uch applications.
Farm Bureau for Mitchell County
Thomasville. —The matter of a farm
bureau is being agitated for Mitchell
county and will probably be taken up.
