GEORGIA BAPTISTS MEET
DECEMBER 11-13 IN MACON;
IMPORTANT BUSINESS UP
75 Million Dollar Campaign
Plans to Be Discussed;
President John D. Mell to
Preside—To Name Officers
The one hundred and second an
nual session of the Georgia Baptist
convention will be held in Macon
December 11-13. The sessions will
be held in the First Baptist church
that city.
The conven'ion will be called to
order at 2 o’clock Tuesday after
noon, December 11, by Dr. John D.
Mell, president of the convention for
the past twelve years. The first or
der of the convention is organiza
tion. Officers of the convention
will be elected at that time. Dr. B.
D. Ragsdale, of Macon, is the sec
retary of the convention and has
been for the past 27 years. Dr. E.
J. Forrester, of Spaita, is treasurer
of the convention. The vice presi
dents of the convention are J. H.
Carmichael, Hackson; C. D. Graves,
Dublin; John B. Payne, Blue Ridge,
and Clifford Walker, Monroe.
Foremost among the questions to
be discussed at Macon is the next
general campaign of Georgia Bap
tists for financing the work for the
denomination. This question will in
volve the immediate task of the
closing year of the present financial
program which is known as the
Baptist 75 million campaign. This
campaign was launched by southern
Baptists in Atlanta in 1919, and
Georgia Baptists participated in the
general program suggested at that
time.
The 75 million campaign was
based on five-year subscriptions.
The sum of $92,000,000 was sub
scribed by the Baptists of the south.
Georgia Baptists subscribed approxi
mately $10,000,000 of this amount.
At the meeting of the Southern
Baptist convention in Kansas City
last May it was reported that about
$45,000,000 ot this .amount had been
paid in cash. Georgia’s proportion
of actual money paid in at that time
was a little above $4,000,000. It is
hoped that Dr. Arch C. Cree, ex
ecutive secretary of the Georgia
Baptist convention and director of
the campaign i»» Georgia, will be
able to report close to $5,000,000
paid in by Georgia at the conven
tion in Macon.
May Change Details
There are a number of details in
the 75 million campaign that will
likely be changed in the next cam
paign. It is generally believed that
in the next campaign that subscrip
tions will not be made for a longer
time than one year, though it is
likely that the general program will
be laid out covering a term of three
to five years. It is generally con
ceded that an x annual campaign for
subscriptions will yield a higher re
sponse than the long-term pledges.
The distribution of the funds of
the next campaign will be a ques
tion of great interest for the ap
proaching session in Macon. Each
interest of the denomination is
now making out a suggested budget
of needs for the next few years and
there will be careful discussion o£
these several budgets at Macon.
The executive committee of the con
vention is now working with this
general question.
Involved in the general discussion
ot the next campaign will be the
question of the holding commission
of the convention. There is said to
be a disposition throughout the state
to modify the present constitution
relating to the holding commission to
The holding commission is a com
mission of the convention of seven
men entrusted with the titles to all
properties of the convention. There
are certain restrictions thrown about
this commission. One of the condi
tions of the present constitution re
quires that this commission shah
hold all properties free of any in
debtedness whatever. It has devel
oped that the nature of the organi
zation of this commission and its
relation to the several boards of
trustees of the convention makes it
unlikely that certain general founda
tions will make gifts to these insti
tutions and a suggestion has been
made that the present charter of the
commission be so changed as to re,
lieve the foundations from some tech
nicaljties touching the responsibil
ities of the boards of trustees of such
institutions. Such changes will no;
lessen the security of the properties.
Commission Members
The present members of the hold
ing commission are C. J. Hood. Com
merce; Howell Cone, Statesboro: U
V. Whipple, Cordele; J. B. Hart, Ma
con; F. R. Pidcock, Moultrie; A. W
Evans, Sandersville, and F. S. Eth

BUSINESS SECTION
CARTERSVILLE, Ga., Nov. 12.
Fire of undetermined origin starting
at 4:30 o’clock Monday morning de
stroyed half a block in the business
section here, wrecking eight places
ot business and doing a property
damage estimated at $50,000. A
smoulder’iig mass of ruins is all

by W. A. Dodd, and valued at $20,-
000, was completely destroyed, as
were the stables of Maxwell & Tins
ley. the Sewell Drug store building,
the barber shop of Frank Monroe,
and the shoe repair shop of J. S.

ing were the business places of the

stock in both drug stores were de
stroyed, but some insurance was car
ried on them. There was no insur
ance on the opera house building
or the Mexwell & Tinsley barn,
and other structures destroyed were
only partially insured.
The alarm was not turned in to
the fire department until the Max
well & Tinsley barn was practical
ly consumed. The firemen directed
their attention to saving nearby
buildings and prevented one entire
side of the business district of Car
tersville from being destroyed.

The petition sets forth the claim
that the books and records of the
former office of grand goblin are
in Baton Rouge, La., as indicated

WOODROW Ml
HFI« FIITH
IN OLD PBIMPLES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—A reaf
firmation of faith in the ultimate
triumph of the principles for which
he has stood was spoken by Wood
row' Wilson to a throng of friends
and admirers on an Armistice day
pilgrimage Sunday to his home here.
The former president’s declaration,
which he said he could not “refrain
from saying,” was in addition to
the brief address he had just con
cluded, and came impressively after
he had silenced the strains of a
hymn a oand had commenced at the
end of his last sentence.
“I am not one of those,” he de
clared, “that have the least anxiety
about the triumph of the principles
I have stood fo,r.
“I have seen fools resist Provi
dence before, and I have seen their
destruction, as will come upon these
again—uttor destruction and con
tempt. That we shall prevail is as
sure as that God reigns.”
A cheering throng ot thousands
packed the street, and all nearby va
cant space when Mr. Wilson appear
ed on the portico of his S street
residence to deliver his second ad
dress in less than twenty-four hours,
and the third he has made since leav
ing the White House.
A little bent with his four years
of illness he stood with bared head
after waving a response to the out
burst of applause which greeted him,
while Senator Carter Glass, of Vir
ginia, delivered the address on be
half of the visitors.
Although faltering a little once
or twice, Mr. Wilson stood unassist
ed beside Senator Glass while he de
livered the first portion of his ad
dress, in which he gave to the men
of whom he was “proud to remem
ber,” he had been commander-in
chief, the credit of making the
“armistice possible.”
Predicting a new turn in the na
tion’s foreign policy. Senator Glass,
in his address, declared “we shall
soon be compelled to put aside the
covert and feeble civilities of an ‘un
official observer’ to reveal our identi
ty as a nation which means openly
to take its part and give directions
to things that involve the security
and happiness of all mankind.”

Mr. Lynn, who a Y ear
has given years of ,
study to the subject, further states, “I
am convinced that hens loaf in the
winter and after the moult because cer
tain elements are missing in the feed which
are needed to keep the generative organs in
a healthy laying condition. Furthermore. I
demonstrated that these missing elements
could be easily supplied by adding certain
mineral elements to the drinking water,
thus insuring a plentiful supply kif eggs at
highest prices.”
Thousands of poultry raisers praise the
work that Mr. Lynn is doing, and letters
pour in on him every day. For instance,
T. E. Asher, of Naylor, Mo., writes, “Be
fore using Mr. Lynn's secret I was getting
vnlv one egg a day, the next week 1 got
