The Herald and Advertiser 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.

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."

J-00. 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." Mrs. T. J. Jones, Mrs. R. I). Cole, Mrs. Roy N. Cole, Committee. 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.

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.
