BIG OAK IS FELLED TO
MAKE WAY FOR TRAFFIC
The magnificent oak tree on Miller
street near the corner of Church was
felled this week to complete the wi¬
dening of that section of the street.
After moving the curb line of the
street to make a 28-foot roadway the
oak stood between the center of the
street and the curb line, an impedi¬
ment to vehicles, two of which could
not pass each other at that point.
Mr. J. E. Hampton, superintendent
of streets and sanitation, had a large
gang of laborers at work several days
cutting off the limbs of the tree so
that it could be brought down without
damaging electric or telephone wires
or nearby residences. An excavation
was then made around the tree and
the large roots cut off below the sur¬
face of the ground and the tree then
pulled down, falling north. It was
then sawed up and hauled away and
the hole filled in.
Thus passes the product of a hun¬
dred years of nature’s alchemy to
make way for civic improvement, a
reminder that there can be no rpo
ttteas without its attendant sacri¬
fices.
PRIMITIVE BAPTISTS WILL

WOMAN’S MISSIONARY
SOCIETY, M. E. CHURCH.
, The Woman’s Missionary Society
,of the Methodist Church will hold
the March business meeting Monday
afternoon, March 8, at 3 o’clock.
Foreign Mission* Conference.
The foreign Missions Conferencs
being a federation of church mission
boards which grew out of the Edin
borough Conference held its annual
meeting in New Haven, Conn., Janu¬
ary 12-15. Numbers of practical
questions were discussed. One
which created the most lively' in¬
terest was, “Should the Woman’s
Board aid the General Board of a
denomination be amalgamated? ft
A lively discussion was precipitated,
many women present taking part.
Most of the men who spoke were in
favor of amalgamation and willing
for equal representation of women
on the General Boards. The greater
number of women who spoke, how
ver, saw advantage for some years
to come in preserving the autonomy
of thdir boards. They felt that this
was necessary for the development
of the women themslves and for the
sake of the distinctive touch of WO
man’s administration on the field.
This conference marked a distinct
advance in woman’s participation in
the work of this movement, When
the Committee on Nominations re
_
ported a itoman was nominated as
chairman and Miss Bennett, the Pres¬
ident of the Council, was placd on
th Committee of Referenc and Coun¬
cil, which is the Executive Committee
of the Foreign Missions Conference.
Germany and Missions.
Dr. Arthur J. Brown of the Pres¬
byterian Board reported a visit to
Germany. The conditions he found
there were appalling. Bad economic
conditions and the dejected spirit of
the people were everywhere appar¬
ent. He said that 60 per cent of all
the babies were dying and 75 per
cent of the children have rickets be¬
cause of undernourishment. Ger¬
many has 2,400 missionaries and a
constituency of 85,000 Christians in
foreign mission fields, The great
question presented was: What can
be done to preserve the missionary
intrests of Germany in this time of
national discouragement and finan¬
cial poverty?

NO HARM TO PEACHES
FROM RECENT FREEZES
So far as we have been able to
learn the consensus of opinion here
is that no harm to peach prospects
has resulted from the freezes of the
past week. While the temperatures
went below the freezing point four
or five nights in succession and some
ice was in evidence two mornings
within the past week, the peach buds
were not sufficiently advanced to be
damaged, it is thought.
The outlook throughout the section
is one of optimism. A 10,000 car crop
for the State this season was the es¬
timate Mr. Hodson of the refrigera¬
tor line service, who was in the city
this week, says the transportation of
cicials are making up to date.

REVIIIJU. MEETING 11
THE BAPTIST CHURCH
JO BEGIN SUNDAY, MARCH 7,
AND CONTINUE ABOUT TWO
WEEKS. DR. J. H. DEW, EVAN¬
GELIST, TO PREACH.
The local Baptist congregation has
at last arranged for a special revival
meeting which will begin next Sttn
dy, March 7th, and continue about
two weeks.
The church, as well a? the entire
community, is exceedingly fortunate
in being able to secure the service#
of Dr. J. H. Dew of Ridgecrest, N.
C., to lead in the meeting and do all
the preaching. In a letter to the Ras
tor some weeks ago, replying to the
church’s invitation, he stated that hia
entire time was already engaged for
meetings up to Feb., 1921. He is able
to give us this date only because of
the lapse of one engagement just at
this time.
Dr. Dew is one of the most widely
known and remarkably successful
evangelists in the South, He hae
held great meetings in many country
churches, in many of the largest city
churches throughout the South. For
some months past he has been labor
ing in some of the leading churches
of Ga. The pastor of the First Bap¬
tist Church, Norfolk, Va., has thia
to say concerning a recent meeting:
Dr. Dew held in that great church:
Dr. Dew is in my judgment with¬
out a superior in the Southern Bap¬
tist Convention as an evangelist. Hia
phenomenal knowledge of the Scrip¬
ture, his power of illustration, both
humorous and pathetic, his exegesis
of the Scriptures, and his appeal to
the great fundemental truths of the
Gospel combine to make him safe and
sound and wholesome in all his sW
mons and methods. This is the sec¬
ond meeting he has conducted for me
and the people are enthusiastic In
expressing their desire for his return.
He leaves the Church in a fine
spiritual condition, and the pastor I*
helped and strenghtened in every
way. »»
All tthe people of every name and
creed are urged to join in prayer
and effort that the meeting may
bring a blessing to every heart and
home in the community. Why not
make this particular season, which
marks the revival of life, joy and
activity in all nature about us, a eor^
responding springtime in our spirit¬
ual life and activity?
