Atlanta Automobile Week.
Atlanta expects many thousands of
visitors during the week of her Auto
mobile Exposition and Races, Nov. 9-13.
She is preparing to take care of her
guests in her hotels, hoarding-houses
and private homes, many of which have
been offered for this purpose. Plans
are being worked out by the Committee
of Information and Public Comfort,
appointed by the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce, so that every one shall be
made comfortable during his stay. This
committee is composed of S. C. Dobbs,■
sales manager of the Coca-Cola Com
pany, chairman; Brooks Morgan, St.
Elmo Massengale, W. W. Orr and Dr.
11. B. Schultz, with Geo. M. Chapin, of
the Massengale Advertising Agency, as
secretary.
This committee has started its work
sometime in advance of race week, and
by carefully systematizing its plans will
provide comfortable quarters for every
visitor, as well as storage for automo
biles. Every hotel and boarding-house
has been listed, the homes of many
private citizens have been opened, and
there will be no lack of room. The com
mittee otters its services free of charge
to prospective visitors to aid them in
securing quarters. It urges that those
who expect to come shall make their
reservations beforehand. It will re
lieve them of all worry, insure comfort
able stopping places, and avoid confu
sion on arrival.
Address the committee, and by re
turn mail you will be given information
where you are to go, rates, etc., and
you will have opportunity to make fur
ther arrangements by correspondence,
if it is desired. The committee urges
that that this matter be taken up at
once if possible. Don’t wait until you
reach Atlanta to arrange for rooms, if
you can help it. If you can’t help it,
you will be given a good stopping place
when you get here. Atlanta will make
her guests comfortable and give them
a good time.

Woman’s Mission Union of the West
ern Baptist Association.
The twenty-first annual meeting of
the W. M. U. of the Western Associa
tion was held with the church at Elim
on Oct. 13 and 14. The societies were
well represented, and the meetings
from the first were characterized by
enthusiasm as the workers gathered to
make their annual report. A beautiful
hospitaliti’-a delicious hot breakfast-
was extended by Mrs. R. D. Cole, of
Newnan, to the messengers passing
through Newnan at an early hour on
Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
The grove surrounding the church and
school building at Elim made good its
reputation for hospitality. Dinner wa3
served in the grove each day during
the association—good, wholesome and
abundant dinners. So much for our
physical welcome. The spiritual wel
come was good as well; but we will
not be satisfied until every woman, not
only of Elim, but our entire associa
tion, comes forward and takes her part
of the Lord’s work with her sisters.
Come!—we need you, each and every
one.
The work reported by the twenty-
seven societies tells of a great in
crease put forth by the women of the
Western Association for the Master’s
cause. Why not have a W. M. S. -a
real, live, working W. M. S.—in each
of the fifty churches? Women, this is
a question for each of us—those who
are working and those who are not
working. Will you help?
v There was a stirring moment on
Wednesday when, right after the splen
did address by our State President,
Mrs. Willingham, the superintendent
pleaded for renewed zeal and devotion,
and every woman present stood, thus
pledging her best to God for another
year. We are pleading with each Bap
tist woman in the Western Association
to give her best to God another year.
The superintendent, Mrs. Roy Cole,
has by love and very hard work led
our women to fields of broader service.
She was ably assisted for two months
by our consecrated, self-sacrificing as-
sociational organizer, Mrs. O. L. Jones,
who did very tine work in strengthen
ing old socieites and organizing new
ones.
On Thursday morning our hearts
were stirred by the presence of twenty-
five college girls, who came in a body,
with teachers, from the Southern Fe
male College at LGarange. As we
looked on these young women we be
held great possibilities for service, if
only their young lives are surrendered
to God.
Below is given a report of the three
sessions in full:

colds and lagrippe vanish. It heals
cough-racked membranes and coughing
stops. Sore, inflamed bronchial tubes

pronounced hopeless by all doctors.”

Veal Found Guilty of Manslaughter.
Carrollton, Ga., Oct. 20.— One of the
most sensational trials ever witnessed
in this county came to a close this after
noon when the jury returned a verdict
of guilty of manslaughter against Guy
Veal, who was charged with the murder
of Ex Hayes on Aug. 8. There were
no eye-witnesses to the tragedy.
It appeared from the evidence that
the defendant and the deceased visited
a camp-meeting about 12 miles from
the defendant’s home on the day of the
killing. The deceased carried with
him thirty pints of whiskey. The de
fendant pleaded self-defense, and in his
statement admitted the killing, but
claimed he did it to save his own life.
A pistol was found on the person of the
deceased. The deceased was 28 years
of age, and the defendant only 19. The
case was given to the jury yesterday
at noon, and they were unable to agree
until late yesterday afternoon.
The State was represented by Solici
tor-General J. R. Terrell and W. D.
Hamrick. The defendant was repre
sented by S. Holderness, C. E. Roop
and Reuben Arnold, of Atlanta.
