‘V , ■ Pelham - Journal mb VOL. 21 NO. 49 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.

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.

FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1924 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¬ Stewardship Rallies Tucker Association At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Tucker Associ¬ ation held at Pelham Tuesday, March 18th, it was decided to hold several stewardship campaign ral¬ lies within the bounds of the Asso¬ ciation on the 5th Sunday in March, instead of one fifth Suuday meet¬ ing, as is customary.
