NEWNAN, FIRDAY, S B PT. 25
ONE DOLLAR A TEAR
IN AIIVANCB.
Newnan Branch W. C. T. U.
"So grander work in holier caua*
Could be by man essayed,
Thun thiH that lire* our noul* to-day
Knights of a new cruajuie."
The last meeting of the W. C. T. t).
waa held on the 14th irint., in the annex
of the First Baptist church. The im
pressive lesson brought by our president
was the reading of the 4th chapter of
Nehemiah, which represents the enemy
scoffing while Nehemiah builds the walls
around his beloved Jerusalem, setting a
watch against the adversary, who was
threatening to come into their midst
and slay the workmen and cause the
work to cease. The enemy alfee.ted
great indignation, and said, “What do
these feeble Jews? Will they fortify
themselves? That which they build, if
a fox go up, he shall even break down
their stone wall.” But they labored
from the rising of the morning sun
till the stars appeared, making prayer
unto our God, and set a watch against
them day and night, saying “Be not ye
afraid of them: Remember the Ford
which is great and terrible, and light
for your brethren, your sons, and your
daughters, your wives and your homes.
Our God shall light for us.” While
scriptures may have a local coloring, it
,s intended for all times and conditions,
and is thoroughly applicable to our tem
perance work, in building a prohibition
wall of safely around each State, and
>ur great nation. Citizens of Newnan,
will you allow our section of the prohi
bition wall to be that weak? From the
stand taken by many, it seems a matter
f complete indilference. Arise, there
fore, and be doing, and the Ford be
with thee, und merit not the woe of
those who are at ease in /.ion, nor de
serve the curse of those who came not
to the help of the Ford, to the help of
the Ford against the mighty. Work as
f all depends on you, pray as if you ex
pected Lloti to give tile victory. The in
spired St. John warned, "Fet no one
take thy crown. The crowning day
s coming by and by." Are we winning
crowns in (his harvest field? We have
all been unprofitable servants, but
pledge ourselves to greater fidelity in
the days to come, for God lias opened a
door of service that no man can shut,
and will shut the door of the saloon
that no man can open. Fet us not be
disobedient to this heavenly vision. By
the heroic spirit of our service, let us
hasten the hour when our Ford shall be
crowned by all nations, and peace reign
everywhere.
Virginia is going to vote on State
wide prohibition on the 22d in.st. Fet
fervent prayer be offered for her re
demption from the legalized liquor traf
fic. May God make bare IIis mighty
arm and crush this arch enemy of the
ages in the historic "mother of Stales.”
The Nationul W. C. T. IF meets in
Atlanta inJNovember, the second time
in its history that it lias convened in
the "Gate City ofjthe South,” to enjoy
the "Atlanta spirit" of hospitality.
The Newnan union cheerfully mat her
assessment for the entertainment com
mittee, thanks to our faithful treasu
rer, Mrs. W. R. Gearreld, who was giv
en the Chautauqua salute for always
having money in the treasury when the
call of need comes, all rejoicing that
the work is being carried on, and that
we have a part in it. May we build
better than we know. Giving may
make lighter purses, but happier hearts,
for the Father will say to us as He did
to Cornelius of old: "Thy prayers and
thine alms ore come up as u memorial
before God." What a beautiful com
mendation! My d*-ar women, put some
thing into your memorials. All railways

"Say, mat" said Willie, "do you
kn >w I think that that ash man that
comes and dumps our ashes every week
is a real good Christian man?"
"Why so?" asked his mother.
"Well, yesterday he came to Mrs.
Smith's house next door and picked up
their wooden barrel and raised it over
his head ami was about to dump it in
his cart when the bottom dropped out
and the ashes fell all over him.”
"My, how terrible," said Willie’s
mother, "and what did he do?”
"(>h! he just sat down in the gutter
and told God all about it."

MISS EMMA L. AMOS.
AN A tm Ml ATION. BY MAX A I! HAM. MISSIONARY
HOr.tK.TY,
Six years Bgo, in October, the West
ern Baptist Association met with the
Baptists of West Point. Miss Kmma
F. Amos, corresponding secretary for
the W. B. M. I', of Georgia, met with
the women of the Western Association
From that day until her death she was
a vital factor in the upbuilding of W. B.
I M. t'. work in our association. She
I often said that the Western was her
experiment station, where she first
tested her plans: and, if successful,
they were to he tried out through the
State.
Tireless in her devotion to Lhe Ford’s
work, with a deep, experimental know
ledge of God a rnind trained to think
and reason accurately a woman of vis
ion and deep dependence upon God it is
little wonder that God used her abun
dantly. not only in Georgia, but in the
Southern Baptist Convention.
She possessed the rare faculty of
leading others to think, reason and ex
ecute. It is probable that her year’s
experience as a teacher litted her for
this. Often she would lead one to a
line of thought by a question apparent
ly casually asked, and one would sur
prise one’s self at the far-reaching re
sults, not realizing at first that she had
studied the matter thoroughly and in
this way led one to it. Thus she led
Georgia women to undertake many
things for God, while she held herself
in the background, content that we
should have all the glory, just so the
work was done.
She was a great woman, a wise wo
man, and a wise leader. Our W. B. M.
IJ. work was paramount with her. She
loved the women and young people of
Georgia, and rejoiced in every success.
In one of her rare moments of deep
confidence she said: "What your hus
band, children and home are to you, my
work is to me; 1 would die were it
taken from me.” She spoke the truth,
and we thank God that in Ills love and
mercy He permitted her to remain cor
responding secretary of Georgia W. B.
M. I), while mortal lifu remained. We
realize that she is not dead, but gone
before to u life of greater service for
her God, and believe that with God’s
saints above she continues to pray for
Georgia women.
Personally, as a society, and as an
association, we have lost from our
midst a devoted friend, a great in-
spiror, one who incited us to attempt
great things for God. We may never
have another leader with the same am
bition for us to excel - who will feel the
same vital, personal interest in each of
us, and draw out of us the determina
tion to succeed, and the feeling that
each one of us, personally, individually,
was responsible to God for the success
of tha work, it was necessary for us
to have SUch a woM„n to draw us out,
Now that the work is established and
God has called her to higher service,
we must push on to greater things for
our Master and not disappoint Him nor
His servant, but prove that the founda
tions of our work here were laid in
Christ, Jesus by a wise master-builder.
"And His servants shall serve him, and
they shall see His face."

Too Easily Shocked. i
Macon Telegruph,
The Hawkinsville Dispatch and News
has the following paragraph
" The greatest shock to many at the
State Convention was when Judge Nat
Harris embraced Hoke Smith in the
lobby of the Dempsey Hotel. Judge
Harris is one of those ‘reactionaries’
that Hoke has been lambasting from
time to time since 1K06 This fond em
brace was gratuitous by Judge Harris.
It was unsought by Mr. Smith, and we
presume unappreciated.”
We doubt that the incident was quite
as bad us t he Dispatch and News heard it
was. Judge Harris is a warm-hearted,
sincere man. He does not harbor re
sentment, but practices the Golden
Rule of returning good for evil. He
was aware that Senator Smith's cam
paigners hud "passed the word along"
for bis defeat in the primary. He
triumphed in spite of thai, though a
few days more might have placed his
hopes among the wreckage from the
tidal wave. He was aware of that.
When he met Senator Smith—in an
hour ot triumph he probably wanted
to show the Senator that he was net
resentful or stung. Those who know
Judge Harris know that he is demon
strative, not to suy affectionate, aid
his warm greeting of Senator Smith
was no more i Fan l hut.
If Senator Smith did not appreciate
his cordial greeting, it was merely be
cause the element of appreciation is
let m the Senator's make-up There
was nothing in it to shock anybody.
Cotton Exports Already Away Down.
Washington, D. (’., Sept. 14.—The
extent to which the European war has
affected the American cotton industry
was disclosed to-day in the Census Bu
reau’s report, showing that duiiog
August only 21, Jlu hales of cotton were
exported, while during August last
year 257,172 bales went abroad.
Great Britain took only 6,370 bales
this August, while last year she took
77.4>s bales; Germany took only 52
bales against 72,029 a year ago; France
only o bales against 52,‘.I'M u year ago;
Italy 1,51i! against 18,56s a vear ago,
and all other countries 18,287 against
40,255 in August, 1018
The supply of cotton during the cot
ton year of 1913, which ended Aug. 81,
was more than 16.UOU.OOO bales. The
exports for the year amounted to
8.01I.54S bales, domestic consumption
5 577,564 1 ales, and the quantity on
han I Aug. 31 was about 1,524,265 ba'es
All extraordinary feature of the re
port was the fact that more cotton was
imported during August than was ex
ported by the United States, which
last year supplied almost 61 per cent,
of the world’s cotton.
September days again are here, re
minding us another year is slipping by,
as years will do. despite the fact that
Gwen and Sue are just as far from Hy
men's call as either were this time last
fall. The kidlets, too. wear faces sad,
for almost every lass and lad must now
give up vacation days and figure ail me
different ways of having fun upon the
sly and not attract the teacher’s eye.
And we who’ve worked the blessed year
regret to see the end draw neBr, for,
while we know not where it went, we
haven't saved a bloomin’ cent.
Resolutions by Ladies' Benevolent
Society.
Again within a few weeks we are
called upon to mourn the passing away
of one of our members. Again we have
wreathed the bier of a friend with tl.e
tributes of our love. Mrs. Alice Mc-
Conaughv Barge was born in Cham
paign. Ill, Her girlhood and young wo
manhood, until the age of 23. was spent
in fronton, Ohio. Fater her paients
came South and made their home in
Eastern Alabama, where she married
Ur. J. F. Barge und resided until her
removal to Newnan. Early in life she
united with the Presbyterian church,
and until the day of her going away
was a devoted member. For several
years she was secretary of our society,
and at all times deeply interested in 11s
work. With a nature full of sunshine,
she bore with a beautiful patience the
months of failing health. Therefore, oe
it resolved by the Fadies’ Benevolent
Society—
F That "the Ford gave, the Ford
hath taken away; blessed be the name
of the Ford."
2. That the memory of her cheerful,
faithful Christian life remains with us,
an inspiration to our church and com
munity.
3. That we extend to the bereaved
husband, daughter and sons our deep
est sympathy, and the comforting hope
“that a brighter, happier sphere will
give her to their arms again"
"For Go<l hath marked each sorrowing day.
And numbered every secret tear.
And heaven’s long age of bliss shall [my.
For all IfiH children suffer here.”
4. That a copy of these resolutions be
sent the family, that they be placed in
the minutes of our society, and that the
city papers be requested to publish
same. Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. G. B. Barr,
Mrs. Myrtis S. Moore,

Slaton Will Come Back.
Winder News.
Now that the filt> and dirt of a pro
gressive convention at Macon is clear
ing away wiser and more conservative
Georgians are believing that the victory
of the Smith-Hardwick cbmbine and the
defeat of Slaton was accomplished at a
terrific cost- i he cost of a party dis
rupted, of a Democracy split asunder,
of a people so hoodwinked by a set of
political sandbaggers that their indi
vidual ballots were rendered worthless.
It will be many a day before the mem
ory of that Macon steam-roller is wiped
out.
Gov. Slaton, the choice of a great
plurality of the people, asked only for
a "fair deal. ” Who will assert that he
got it?"
