MgADOO wins
IN PRIMARY
In the Presidential Primary held
in Georgia Wednesday, Win. G.
McAdoo overwhelmed his oppo¬
nent, Sen. Oscar W. Underwood
of Alabama. The former Secretary
of the Treasury took the lead in
the first returns and gradually in¬
creased his advantage as addition¬
al counties reported. Early in the
evening it was evident that the
Californian had swept the State,
as county after county swung in¬
to his column.
Atlanta, Macon, Savannah and
Augusta helped to swell the Mc¬
Adoo majority. He carried his
home county of Cobb by a big vote
captured the home county of the
late Sen. Thomas E. Watson by a
small marjority, according to in¬
complete newspaper returns, and
took Chatham, the home of Sen¬
ator Underwood’s state campaign
manager. The former Secretary
recently spoke in these four cities.
Mitchell County also went for
Mr. McAdoo by a large majority.
The vote here being very light, as
was the case over the entire county.
McAdoo received 139 votes and
Underwood 61 votes at the Pelham
precinct.
Senator Underwood carried Bald¬
win County, where McAdoo spent
his boyhood at Milledgeville, Mus-,
cogee, in which Columbus is lo¬
cated, also went tor the Alabamian.
Twiggs County, which held a

AIRMEN BEGIN
LONG JOURNEY
Santa Monica, Cal., March 17.
With the cheers of a crowd of ap
proximately 2,000 people ringing
in their ears, three of the four ar
my planes which will attempt to
circle the globe, took off from
here at 9:32 A. M. Saturday, on
the first leg of their long air jour
ney.
The fourth plane, piloted by
Lieutenant Erik Nelson, did not
accompany its three sister ships,
but will probably leave Tuesday
and overtake the others when they
reach Seattle.
This is a test flight undertaken
by the air service of the army, and
is probably the most ambitious
feat yet undertaken by airmen.
They are driving specially built
machines and the route laid out
for them is a voyage 30,000 miles
through the airlanes of twenty
three countries and back again to
the point from which they started.

GREAT REVIVAL
MEETING CLOSED
What is said by many to have
been the most successful revival
meeting ever held in First Baptist
Church, came to a close Sunday
night with sixty candidates ap
proved For baptism and fourteen by
letter and statements, making a
total of 74 accessions. Since Jan.,
9th there have been over 91 access¬
ions to the Baptist Church, 65 by
experience. Heads of families, fa¬
thers and mothers were converted
In some instances, whole families
were^brought into the church.
The ages of those converted dur- j
ing the meeting ranged from nine ( |
years to fifty-five. All told, in j
the two years our present pastor,
W. B. Feagins, has been on this
field; there have been 198 access- J
ions to the church, 107 of whom
were by baptism.
Mr. A. G. Turk, of Atlanta,
greatly endeared himself to the
church by bis splendid singing,
and his ability to get the young
people to sing. The three large
choirs rendered the music, and
needless to say, the song service
was superb. Mr. Turk won the
hearts of the Junior choirs, and
they together with the large con¬
gregation Sunday night, perhaps
seven hundred and fifty people
present, voted unanimously to ask
him to return in October to assist
the pastof again. His solos were
excelle
numeration of the spirit, and he j
had the co operatian of that great
body of people in every service.
Under almost every sermon preach¬
ed by the pastor souls were saved.,
The average attendance of the af¬
ternoon service was 200 and the
evening service 450. We thank
God for this glorious meeting, and
take courage and go on.
A feature of the meeting was the
splendid co-operation given the
pastor by the large Bible Class f or
men and the Philathea and Bara
ca classes. They assembled three
different times in their respective
halls and marched in a body to
the church, singing their class
songs. In a word there was not
a hitch anywhere during the meet¬
ing, but beautiful co operation
from the church of consecrated,
loyal members. It was simply a
Great Meeting!
Wednesday night of this week,
the pastor repeated his sermon on
the ‘‘Second Coming of Christ”
before a congregation that packed
the two auditoriums. The revival
spirit still goes on, and others will
come into church.
Next Sunday night the pastor
will baptize the young folks, and
the others will be baptized the
last Sunday night in this month.

DOG TRAVELS
3000 MILES
Fiction is outdone by fact in the
of a collie dog that was
somewhere in Iowa,|followed ! his
master’s auto to Wolcott, Indiana,
and finding the owner, returned to
his home at Silverton, Oregon, the
faithful collie literally traversed
three states searching for his owner,
and arriving at Indiana too late
to overtake him, took the long
hike back across seven states to the
Pacific Coast. He arrived in Sil¬
verton, Oregon, February 15, hav
ing traveled nearly three thousand
miles, flanks worn thin, toe-nails
worn to the quick and feet bruised
from his long race to reach home.
The owner, G. F. Brazier, a res¬
taurant man, motored to Iowa to
relatives, carrying the collie
along in his motor car.
The dog was lost in Iowa and the
owner advertised extensively but
could not find him. When he en¬
tered the restaurant in his home he
gave joyous yelp and made a leap
for his astonished owner.
How he negotiated nearly three
thousand miles over highways
and bridges across rivers, streets
and viaducts in cities is a mystery.
The collie will be presented with
a silver medal by the Orogon Hu¬
Society.
ionary from the view-point of his
he will not look with dis¬
favor upon a third party nominat¬
