GEORGIA BAPTIST CONVEN
TION ISSUES MINUTES
Dr. Ragsdale, as Secretary. Has
Produced a Most Valuable
Record.
We are indebted to Dr. B. D.
Ragsdale, of Locust Grove, for a
copy of the minutes of the Eighty
ninth Anniversary of the* Baptist
Convention of the State of Geor
gia, which was held, with the First
Baptist church at Elberton on
November 15-18, 1910.
This booklet of nearly two hun
dred pages embrace not only the
minutes of this meeting, but is
practically a year book of the
work and progress of the Baptist
church in Georgia.
One of our Henry county citi
zens compiled and arranged for
publication this interesting record.
Dr. B. D. Ragsdale, of Locust
Grove, as secretary of the asso
ciation, has shown his excellent
judgment and painstaking accu
racy in the work, and it is indeed
a credit to him.
We cannot begin to go into de
tail as to the book’s contents.
Suffice it to say that a mere turn
ing of the leaves will convince a
person that the activities of this
church are as those of the count
less branches of a great govern
ment, and every department shows
progress. ,
Not the least interesting or im
portant feature of this work is the
historical table, giving a complete
history of the convention from the
days of Jesse Mercer’s presidency
in 1822.
‘We congratulate the Baptist
church, the church universal, and
Dr. Ragsdale upon this happy
progress and the excellent method
in which it is detailed.
A Hero of Peace.
We have heard a saying to the
effect that certain kinds of ‘‘minds
run in the same channel. We were
revolving in our mind an editorial
on the same subject as that given
Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Copeland
Hosts.
Mr. and Mrs. Green Copeland
entertained at dinner last week.
Those enjoying their hospitality
were : Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Simp
son, Miss White, Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Carmichael, Dr. and Mrs.
T. A. Lifscy.
below, when our old friend, and
! the excellent. Editor of the Griffin
News, produces an editorial, which
voices our sentiment so much bet
ter than we could, that we present
it herewith:
‘‘The man who accepts oilicc ac
cepts it with all the responsibilities
carried witli it. The man who ac
cepts the position of sheriff know
i hat there are Certain dangerous
[ duties connected with the office
that may, at. any moment, require
bravery, and even sacriiice of life,
lie receives, the office because the
people believe that lie will be faith
ful to its requirements. The man
who becomes jailor—the custodian
of the keys that lock the prison
doors upon the off enders against the
law—knows that there is a great
responsibility upon him, and that
the people expect him to do his du
ty. For some time lynching in
this stute and the South was toler
ated. There are crimes that make
the people call for summary pun
ishment. No crime calls for lynch
ing. Some call for rapid execution
ct' justice, but none cull for the
‘‘rape of the law.” There are
some jailors who know this great
fundamental truth. The law must
be supreme.
‘‘ln Cclumbus, Ga., they recently
buried Jailor Phelts—a hero if
there ever was one—who, as jailer,
for fifteen years in Muscogee coun
ty, had learned to respect his posi
tion and to believe in its responsi
bilities. He was,shot while guard
ing a negro prisoner from u mob.
It rakes courage ol the highest or
der for a jailer to really oppose a
southern mob when they thirst for
the blood of a negro criminal. The
man who does it knows that his ac
tions will be condemned by many
of his close friends. It demands
courage, sustained by a high sense
of public duty. Jailor Phelts had
just this sort of courage. lie was
a hero and died in the greatest
cause known to civil life—in de
fense of the supremacy of the law.
It is a great thing to save a human
life, hut it is a greater thing to die
in defense of the law of the land.”
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Turner will
spend the Christmas holidays with
the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Will Turner, near McDonough.
THOSE WHO FURNISHED
THE PRIZES IN CONTEST
Something of the Concerns Who
Contributed to the Success
of the Contest.
We cannot pass by unnoticed
the firms and individuals who fur
nished the handsome prizes which
were awarded in The Weekly’s
Great Contest.
The First Prize, the Piano, was
furnished by the Editor.
P. B. CHEEK.
The Second Prize, the beautiful
Diamond Ring, was furnished by
McDonough’s enterprising jewel
ler, Mr. P. B. Cheek.
Mr. Cheek carries a complete
line of everything beautiful, serv
iceable, and desirable in the way
of jewelry, watches, clocks, etc.,
and he believes in a liberal appli
cation of printer’s ink.
MALSBY, SHIPP & COMPANY
The Third Prize, the fine Fleet
wood Sewing Machine, was fur
nished by the South’s foremost
mail order house, Messrs. Malsby,
Shipp & Co., of Atlanta.
This concern is but a few years
old but, composed of young men
of high character and energy; it
has grown to immense propor
tions.
Henry county has many users
of their sewing machines, and
they presented one to the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy here.
Their advertisement never misses
an issue of The Weekly.
JOHN R. SMITH.
The Fourth Prize, the beautiful
and speedy Bicycle, was furnished
and put up and guaranteed by
Mr. John R. Smith, bicycle dealer
and repairer, and all round expert
machinist, of McDonough.
Mr. Smith has a machine shop
fitted with apparatus for doing the
most difficult of work, and his
twenty years’ experience make
him capable of doing well any
kind of machine work or repairs.
He, too, believes in advertising.
