Sixteen Baptist churches were represented nnd the enthusiasm and Interest was un; bounded. Judge Allen D. Freeman, of Newnan, Gn., was the leading speaker, and made a stirring and soulful address on the subject, "Why I Believe In Missions,'' Judge Freeman la one of the leading Baptist laymen of the state, always honored and prominent In denomina tional meetings. He said that he be lieved In missions because he was man. and that being a man he felt an Interest In tho welfare of all men every where. He said that the greatest hin drance to the missionary enterprise was a mistaken conception of lire on the part of Christian men who think the great aim of life le to get gold, to gather together a fortune, a low grow ellng conception. Dr. John B. White made a ringing speech on the layman's duty and op portunity. He urged that men ought to take hold of this greatest of all en terprises with all of the determination, enorgy nnd Judgment of business men engaged In a stupendous business prop osition.

MANSION GIVEN A NEW VERANDA Workmen began Monday morning luoj; u| ooiuod Usuis am Xu.ua use) of the governor's mansion, and a wide, handsome veranda will replace It. For some time Governor Smith has had under consideration the Idea of nddlng a large porch to the mansion, and has had an architect at work on plans. Not until the past week, how ever, did he definitely decide to have this work done. An opinion has been prevalent for a year or more that the present mansion was falling Into decay, and that It could hardly be repaired In such a way as to put It Into good ehape. However, Gov ernor Smith has had competent archi tects to look the building over care fully, and It Is said that for about 26,000 the mansion can be put In first-class condition. The walls are solid and about as good as ever, and with a thorough over hauling Georgia will have a very good home for its chief executive. It Is not Improbable that some recommendation along this line will be made to the next general assembly. No finer location for the home of the governor could ha Cmad Is tba city. It Is near the business heart of Atlanta, on one of the most prominent residence streets, and Is on a handsome lot.
