MOVEMENT FOR
Rocky Plains District Will Put
Their Roads In First Class
Condition.
Mr. R. L. Cowan, one of the moat
progressive citizens of the county was
in the city one clay last week and
came into the News office to talk to
the editors about better roads for the
county. He complimented us very
highly in our effort to work up en¬
thusiasm along this line and stated
that good roads was the greatest thing
a county could have as everyone from
the farmer living on the border to the
merchant in the towns would receive
the benefit.
Mr. Cowan has a plan for his dis¬
trict, Rocky Plains, which is meeting
with the enthusiastic approval of the
people living therein, and if he can
materialize his proposition that dis¬
trict will have the best roads in the
county. He proposes that the people
living all over the district go together
and work the roads, putting in ehirt
and other road materials, filling up
the low places and smoothing out the
I'ough places. He says that he, like
many citizens, does not criticise the
road force for the bad places in the
roads as it is impossible with the
force to do any better. His plan is
for each district to do this and thus
help the county force to make the
best roads possible. He has made a
canvass of his district and finds that
the people will all go into the work
and fix the roads without cost to the
county except the necessary material
to be used.
This is one of the best plans we
have yet heard of, and we are. anx¬
ious to see it put into operation, be¬
lieving that this, in a measure will be
the solution of the road problem.
MR. W. COHEN RE¬
MODELING STORE.
Needs More Light and Room and Will
Have a Model Department
When Comp'eted.
Mr. \v <. Jt Cohen, one oi the city’s |
live and progressive merchants, is
making preparations for the remodel¬
ing and changing of his store in the
Swords’ building and when it is com¬
pleted will be one of the prettiest and
most desirable places in the city for a
thoroughly modern department store.
The changes will be commenced
within the next few days and will be
finished in time for his spring open¬
ing. He will have the partition ta¬
ken ont between the two rooms and a
plate glass front placed in the build¬
ing, giving him a great deal more
room and light.
Mrs. Cohen is in New York and
Mr. Cohen will leave in a few days
for that city and while there will pur¬
chase the best and fullest line he has
ever had. Mr. Cohen is a strong be¬
liever in good goods and printers ink,
and places the credit for his success
in the mercantile business in this city
to these facts.
Mr. Cohen has been in business here
for the past several years and has
built up a wonderful trade and made
many- friendt among the citizens of
the city 7 and county, due to his square
dealing and courteous manner.

NEW QUARTERS
NEARLY FINISHED
Bank of Newton County Will Move
About the Twentieth. New
Place A Beauty.
The new quarters for the Bank of
Newton County in the Star Building
which is being prepared for them by
Col. J. W. Anderson, is almost com¬
pleted and is one of the pretiest places
for a bank in the city. The entire
front has been changed, marble fix¬
tures put in and the floor tiled. The
work is being done by Contractor C.
A. Clark and he is making an unusual
job of it.
The Bank of Newton is at present
located in the building next to J. N.
Bradshaw & Co., and they decided
that they wanted to get closer to the
main business section of the city.
They will be permanently located in
their new quarters and their friends
are congratulating them on the appea¬
rance of the new building.
The Star building is one of the
most valuable pieces of propety in the
city and Col. Anderson is always mak¬
ing some change in it to add to its
appearance.
The rear end of the building has
been partitioned off and will be used
by Fowler Bros, for a storage room.
Woman’s Baptist Missionary Union and
Sun-Beam Work.
(By Mrs. W. H Prior, Supt. Wo¬
man’s Work, Appalachee Associa¬
tion. )
There are today a million women
connected with our Southern Baptist
churches. It is a large estimate to
say 7 that one hundred thousand of
these, less than one tenth, have been
touched and awakened to the Mission
demand of the hour, through the W.
M. U.
There are nearly an equal number
of children in our Sunday Schools, of
whom we have reached, much less
than a tenth. Now, dear Sisters, is it
not the fault of the W. M. U., that
our Baptist children are giving less to
Missions than almost any other de¬
nomination? Why is it that when
si me of the other denominations need
a new Missionship, they have only- to
whisper the children, and a new steam¬
er steams up the Congo, in Africa, or
tiie Ganges, in India, or some of the
large rivers in China, carrying the
message of the Savior into the very
heart of these countries. Is the fault
at the door of our W. M. U? Early in
our history, the solemn trust of train¬
ing the future Southern Baptists was
put into our hands. How have we
done it? I greatly 7 fear that we have
been unfaithful. If not, why is it
that today there are so few young
people’s societies in our Southern
Baptist churches. It is our work; we
are the one organization in the field
to this end, and the work has not
beendone. Oh! Sisters, let us arouse
to our duties. We now have four
young lady societies. Our neglect
has fonnd us out. The young women
of today would be ours, if ten years
ago, we had gathered the children
into Sunbeam Societies. There would
now be no young woman’s problem.
It will take generalship in state work
to reach the children, it will take
money, it will take travel, it will take
new lines of endeavor, but it must be
done. Those in the States who are
bearing the burden must seek out and
commission other women, gifted in
reaching the children. Women who
are financially 7 able, but who cannot
go themselves, must make it possi¬
ble for others to go. It must be done
face to face. Our literature will be
needed no less, but must follow the
foot-steps of some self devoted wo¬
man, leading to every 7 home. There
is a foot path to every heart, if we
but seek it. Let us seek those who
are not already enlisted, dear sisters.
Pardon this personal reference, but
my dear sister, if I could just
make you know the sweet pleasure
that I have experienced in this very
work among the young people, I feel
that you all would be ready to take
hold. It means so much for the future
in training workers for our Foreign
THE C.OVINGTON NEW'S
GEORGIA WEEKLY
REPORT IS GOOD
Number of New Enterprises and
Public Institutions Now Under
Way.
The Georgia and Alabama Indus¬
trial Index, published at Columbus,
Ga., says in its regular weekly issue:
“The past week in Georgia and Ala¬
bama was conspicuous for the asser¬
tion of both private and municipal
enterprise and the business report for
the two states is a cheerful one. Griffin
Ga., decided to call an election on the
issuance of §85,000 of city improve¬
ment bonds,Americus, Ga., decided to
place on the market §35,000 of school
bonds its voters authorized some time
ago. Valdosta, Ga., is taking under
consideration a §50,000 bond issue for
public improvements, Puntsville Ala.,
decided to issue §40,000 of paving bonds
Birmingham, Ala., awarded a paving
contract, Albany, Ga., awarded a
concrete sewer pipe contract and va¬
rious other municipalities set their
citizens a progressive example in the
way of inaugurating improvements.
“In all the development work now
in progress in the two states, nothing,
perhaps, is more interesting than the
plan to cut the timber on nearly 300
000 acres of the great Okefenokee
swamp in south Georgia. The first
spike in the railroad that is to be
built right in to the heart of the big
morass, with latera’s at regular inter¬
vals extending from the main line out
into the swamps, was driven last
week by the engineer in charge of the
project. Waycross, Ga., will be the
headquarters of this enterprise, the
mill at which this timber will be con¬
verted into lumber being locatsd in
that city. Among the land deals of
the week is a §1000,000 timber and saw¬
mill sale in Thomas county, Georgia.
“Athens, Ala., is to have a new
bank, the fourth in a county where
only 7 a few years ago there was not a
single banking institution. Negroes
in Birmingham, Ala., are organizing a
$50,000 bank. The seventeen new cor¬
porations that asked for charter du¬
ring the week have a capitalization
slightly exceeding §1,000,000.
field —for our own State—for our own
Apalachee Association, and for our
own Church and community.
Look at the work that our Sunbeams
did last year in establishing the com¬
pound in Ying Tak, China, and the
school at Elpaso, Texas. They will
be great powers for good in the future.
Let us hasten with this great work,
sisters! It is so important, I call upon
y 7 ou to rededicate y 7 ourselves to the
divine principle of Missions; to the
enlistment of the children in the Sun¬
beam work, and the enlistment of all
in the great work of evangelization of
the world.
May we, as Baptist women, realize
that “In union there is strength,”
and daily 7 grow in the knowledge of
the truth is in Christ Jesus. Let us
remember the words of our Lord
Jesus: “Ye are the Light of the
World—Ye are My Witnesses.”—Bap¬
