Ini
baptist meeting
IN PROGRESS.
dr. buchholz is giving the
people or COVINGTON SOME
GOOD SERMONS.
The services of revival meetings
w hich were begun at the First Baptist
Church Sunday evening are now in
progress and will continue throughout
the week and possibly into next.
Dr. H. C. Buchholz, dean of the
state Baptist board, came down Mon¬
day and has entered into the work.
At every place he has been in a meet¬
ing great good has come from it, and
the communities have felt his influence
long after the meetings were closed.
Dr. Buchholz is a most earnest man,
and his sermons and construction of
the gospel and is clear and forceful,
understood by all, and carries convic¬
tion to his hearers. He comes to Cov¬
ington direct from a most successful
meeting at Rome, at which place large
crowds attended all his services. On
several occasions the capacity of the
large church was insufficient to con¬
tain the crowds. One of the rules of
Dr. Buchholz in conducting a meeting
is the entire absence of propositions
at the services. He says he has come
here to preach the gospel and that at
the close of the meeting ample oppor¬
tunity will be had for all who so de¬
sire to confess Christ and join the
church.
The music for the week is in charge
of Miss Ruth Buchholz, pianist, and
Mr. Jesse T. Williams, singer, and
they together with the regular choir
are giving some of the best music
ever had here.
The subjects which will be dealt
with by Dr. Buchholz during the week
are interesting and come into the
daily lives of the people.
The public generally is given a most
cordial invitation to meet with them
at all the services.

Some Good Cotton. i
Mr. E. O. Lee has several acres of
cotton in the southwestern part of
the city which gives promise of mak¬
ing a very fine crop. The land on
which the cotton was planted is possi¬
bly the richest spot in the city, it
having last year made nearly two
bales to the acre. This year the
stalks have almost lapped in the rows
which are wide, and in some places
you can hardly tell the direction the
rows are laid off. Unless something
happens to it, the prospect is good for
considerably more than a bale to the
acre. It is the best piece of cotton in
the county.
Dr. Daves Preaches Sermon On thd
“Suffering With Christ.’’
At Trinity Methodist church yester¬
day morning, Dr. Joel T. Daves, pre¬
siding elder of the Atlanta district,
preached, says the Atlanta Constitu¬
tion.
The text was in Romans vii, 17: “If
so be that we suffer with Him that we
may be also glorified with Him” and
the theme, “Suffering With Christ.”
In part Dr. Daves said:
“It is perfectly logical to connect
glorification rather than suffering
with Christianity. For it is an inspir¬
ing message. It is the source of all
the joy in the world, and in the text it
is set forth as the ultimate result of
Christianity, we will be glorified with
Christ. We are His loyal disciples,
but before the Christian’s glorification
with Christ he must have suffered
with Christ. Glorification with the
Christian as with his Master, follows
after suffering.
“The suffering of Christ was a suf¬
fering for the world’s sin. Every true
Christian heart shades in this. The
sin of the world causes pain to every
Christian who witnesses it. Every
man is his brother. They are in a
sense, all sons of a common Father
and to see them sinning, wounding
God’s love thereby, and also wreck¬
ing their own souls, cannot but afflict
a heart that throbs with love for them.
Just as a devoted parent is anguished
by a wayward son or daughter, so the
Christian suffers for his sinning fellow
men. But suffering with Christ is suf¬
fering in company with Christ. He
is ever with the Christian, and no
hour is so lonely nor experience so
sad but that he has this Divine Com¬
forter by his side. A soldier was
wounded. The surgeons said his leg
must be amputated. It was before the
anaesthetics of our day. The woun¬
ded man said he’d rather die than
undergo the torture of amputation.
After much persuasion, he said upon
one condition alone would he consent.
His queen, who walked among the
wounded from day to day, cheering
by her sympathy and smile must hold
his hand while the operation \yas in
progress. She bravely consented and
the noble fellow endured the torture
without a groan. So in the sympath¬
etic comradeship of Christ the children
of God are enabled to bear their suf¬
fering.”
He concluded by a striking analogy:
The confederate veterans meet, re¬
light the campfires and with joy re¬
new the comradeship of former days.
But su> pose there should have been a
man who either shunned his duty in
thoses days or deserted you suppose
he would attend the reunion with joy?
No more can the Christian who has
known nothing of that devotion and
love which take him into the fellow¬
ship of Christ’s suffering enters with
joy into Christ’s glorification.
The evening service was conducted
by the pastor. His theme was. ‘ ‘How
May I Know My Christianity Is Genu¬
ine?” It was a study in the tests of
the genuineness of one’s personal re¬
lation to God.
This service was marked by the bap¬
tism and reception of members into the
church on profession of faith.
Next Sunday morning and evening
the pastor, Rev. Elam Dempsey, will
preach for the last time before leav¬
ing for his vacation, which will be
spent in New England.

THE COVIN GT ON NEWS
NEWTON’S DELEGATES
AT UNION CITY.
MR, JARMAN GIVES THE NEWS
SOME FACTS ABOUT HIS AT¬
TITUDE AT UNION CITY.
Mr. L. W. Jarman was in town Fri¬
day returning from the State Con¬
vention of the Farmers’ Union at
Union City, in which he and Mr. R.
W. Ballard represented the Union of
Newton county. *Mr. Jarman talked
interestingly of the meeting, saying
that in many respects it was the most
satisfactory that he had ever
The newspaper reports as given out
by certain disgruntled Union men
were entirely misleading, one of
which appears on another page of to
day’s issue of the News. The Con¬
vention investigated a few of ttu
charges which had been circulating
against the State President Lee, and
learned enough to know that he was
no longer a fit man to be president
of the Farmers’ Union in Georgia.
Consequently a new president was
elected, Hon. E. Cabiniss, of Maxeys.
Mr. Cabiniss is a prominent far¬
mer of Oglethorpe county, and prom¬
ises to make by far the best
the Union has ever had in Georgia.
He is a strong, conservative business
man, and an intelligent and scientific
farmer. He will conduct the affairs
of the Union from his home, and will
not move to Union City, as has been
the custom of former presidents.
No fight was made in this conven¬
tion along political lines, as was re¬
ported in the daily papers. There
was absolutely no foundation of the
fact for this report, as it was merely
a last blow' struck by a set of men
who had been discredited and turned
out of ofiee in the Union. It was
not a case of Pres. Lee withdrawing
from office, as was reported, but he
was so entirely discredited in the
eyes of the convention that they sim¬
ply elected another man. Lee had
sense enough left to jump on the
band-wagon at the last moment.
Throughout the entire convention,
the apposition to Lee had entire con¬
trol of the convention on every ques¬
tion. They won out on every vote,
with one exception in a minor matter,
and that was a tie vote.
So complete was the control of the
opposition to the Union City bunch
that one of their own crowd accused
Jarman in a speech of “bossing the
w(hole Convention.”
The charge has been made that L.
W. Jarman was the leader of the
Watson forces at the Convention.
This also is false; among the majori¬
ty of the Convention were some fol¬
lowers of Mr. Watson and some who
were not, but ALL were there for
the purpose of taking care of the in¬
terest of the farmers of Georgia, and
did it by turning Jno. Lee and his set
out of office in the Union.
Joint Debate.
We are requested to make the an¬
nouncement that the candidates for
representative from Newton county
will address the voters of Downs dis¬
trict at Richardsville on Thursday
evening, July 28. The issues of the
campaign will be discussed, and the
views of each candidate will be put
in concrete form. All citizens inter¬
ested are requested to go out. They
will be given a cordial welcome.

Courageous and Significant.
J. C. Knox is a candidate for the
Legislature in Newton County. In a
published card to the voters of the
county he says:
“I feel that it is nothing but fair
that the candidates should tell the
people just where they stand, as the
Governor and the Legislature work
hand in hand and one without the
support of the other renders both very
ineffective as to accomplishing much.
While I have friends on both sides,
and will appreciate the support of all
of them, yet to remain silent on such
important issues, would tend to
deeeive the voters of this county, and
if it takes deception to win out in this
race, then I am not the man. But I
do not believe this is so. I believe
the people want a man who will stand
up to what he believes is right. I be¬
lieve the policies advocated by Gov¬
ernor Joseph M. Brown are sound and
are for the best interests of the people
and therefore I favor them, and ex¬
pect to support them, if elected to the
Legislature.
Newton county in 1908 gave Smith
795 votes and Brown 671—majority for
Smith, 124. This year registration is
1,863.
The card is courageous and signifi¬
cant.—Macon Telegraph.
