History of Williams
Creek Church By
County Historian
(From Warrenton Clipper)
(By Mrs. W. F. Wilhoit, County
Historian.)
(Continued from last week)
Being only thiee years till the
time when the church would be
one hundred years they began
in 1884 discussing the advisa
bility of observing the centen
nial. By 1885 it was positively
decided to have a centennial cel
ebration, made so further repairs were
on the building and it was
painted to be fresh for the oc
casion.
J. R. R. Cason and B. W.
Tucker were messengers again
in 1885 and they carried $10.00
for Foreign Missions, $10.00 for
Home Missions, $10.00 for State
Missions and $1.75 for indigent
ministers, and their invitation
to bring the Association to Wil
liams Creek church in 1886 was
accepted. New chairs for the
pulpit were bought and new
song books were ordered in an
ticipation of the occasion. Re
alizing that the church would
not be able to accommodate the
vast crowd that would gather, a
grept brush arbor was built and
seats provided and the men who
had been so fortunate as to se
cure the meeting of so august a
body as the Georgia Baptist As
sociation fojf Williams Creek
were again appointed messen
g ers "
B w . Tucker, who *as clerk
of the church, was not as gener
ous as he might have been in
giving an account of the pro
ceedings of the Association.
Had Benjamin F. Hubert, his
predecessor, been clerk at that
time pages of facts, written in
(he beautiful shaded wttimg of
that period, would have been
left for our information, but Mr.
Tucker only tells u s that Adol
Hill, Lewis Wicker, Henry
.1. R. R. Cason and B.
W. Tucker were the committee
on hospitality. That the Asso
met of October 12, 1886.
That the introductory sermon
was preached by T. A. Nash and
the Missionary sermon was
preached by J. H. Fortson.
is all. We leave that time
reluctantly, for the weeks of
preparation and the
spiritual uplift left by contact
the brilliant and godly
men who visited Williams
church at that meeting
deserved a larged place in the
minutes of the church and in
this history. Perhaps Mr. Tuck
er*s life was blessed and his
heart w-as warmed, but he may
have been a man of few words,
either spoken or written, evi
rlently.
In 1886 Richard Chapman was
chorister and in 1887
“W. H. Harper was appointed
to go to Warrenton to organize
Sunday School Association.”
In November, 1886 T. J. Pil
cher resigned the pastorate and
J. Veazey succeeded him.
B. W. Tucker, L. H. Wicker,
W. H. Harper, W. IL Chapman
and W. G. Culpepper were ap
a committee to arrange
a program for the centennial,
which was to be celebrated in
September of 1887.
W. H. Harper and B. W. Tuck
er were messengers to the Geor
gia Association in 1887.
Mr. Tucker, clerk of the
church, tersely presents the
program of the centennial cele
bration as follows: Introduc
tory sermon by Brother A. C.
Rainw r ater, from Ephesus 4:5,
“One Lord, one faith, one bap
tism.” After an intertaiission
during which dinner was served
on the grounds, they re J assem
bled and Rev. T. J. Pilcher gave
a “history of this church for the
past one hundred years of its
organization.” This was fol
lowed by talks by Rev. T. J.
Veazey and A. C. Rainwater.
R. B. Chapman and Adolphus
Hill w r ere messengers to the
Georgia Association in 1888 and
the pastor, Rev. T, J. Veazey,
was elected to the legislature.
T. J. Gumming was asked to

Red Cross Work Is
Showing It’s Results
The following is sent out by
the National Red Cross Head
quarters in Washington, D. C.,
and is published at the request
of Glascock County Chapter.
“One of the most encouraging
reports that has come to our at
tention in recent months is that
death rates from pellagra are
decreasing. Reports from state
health departments indicate that
this decrease began in 1929 and
1930 and has continued steadily
since that time. The 1931 death
rates are from 10 to 49 per cent
lower than the 1928 lates, which
is appearently the peak year.
In the majority of pellagra
states the reduction is between
30 and 60 per cent. That is most
encouraging. the It is evidence that
disease can b e brought un
der control even in spite of very
difficult economic conditions.
It should spur communities on
to greater efforts.
“Pellagra results from a de
ficiency in the daily diet of cer
tain kinds of food. Individuals
and! families that live entirely
on salt pork, corn bread, white
bread, rice, grits, molasses and
foods of that kind, will sooner
or later develop the disease.
These foods are excellent but
not the kind that will prevent
pellagra and other nutritional
diseases. The body also needs
the vitamin containing foods,
such as milk, vegetables, greens,
fruits and whole grain cereals.
Lean meat, fish, wheat germ are
also excellent pellagra prevent
ing foods. If some or all of
these are used regularly and in
sufficient amounts pellagra will
not develop. The disease has
never been known to occur in
individuals who use
milk. < ..if *
“We believe there are two or
three very significant factors
that have been responsible for
this reduction in death rates in
the last two or three years. One
of these, and perhaps the most
important one, is the promotion
of gardening and the more gen
eral use of garden foods which
are so essential for good healtth.
“Another factor is the wide
spread use of powdered yeast.
In the absence of an adequate
diet it is the most valuable
measure known at the present
time for the control of this dis
ease. Its use has resulted in
very remajrltable improvement
in health and in many thousands
of complete recoveries. Every
individual who has pellagra or
who is threatened with it should
take it for a period of six to ten
weeks.
“Then too, the educational
work conducted in connection
with the promotion of garden
ing and the distribution of pow
dered yeast is hearing fruit.
“The Red Cross has been re
sponsible for promoting garden
ing on a very extensive scale in
recentrecent years, and also in
troducing powdered yeast as a
public health measure for the
control of pellagra. Both pro
jects were started in 1927 fol
lowing the Mississippi flood.
