BAPISTS ARE READY
WITH NEW CHURCH
Rev. Christie at Head of Val
dosta Tabernacle.

VALDOSTA, Ga, Aug. 16.-The
two Baptist churches which is the
result of the division in the First
Baptist church last Sunday morning,
have been organized and both will
get down to work in earnest. The
seeding members held their meeting
at the court house last night, with
Rev. B. f. Elliott as moderator.
After the organization, Rev. L. r.
Christie, the retiring pastor of the
First Baptist church, was called to
the Baptist Tabernacle, which is the
name of the new organization.
The first services of the new
church will be held next Sunday just
after the Sunday school, The SER
vices will be held at the opera
house until a permanent place of
worship is provided. Several other
members of the First Baptist church
will ask for letters of dismission to
join the new church. One applicant
for baptism was at the meeting last
night.
The First Baptist church is also
reorganized, though no pastor has
been called yet.

RESULT OF FIGHT ON RAILROADS

It is said that sudden falling off
in the purchase of crossties by the
Georgia railroads has caused some
comment among those who manu-
facture ties and those who are in
terested in the growth of the state,
While just as many ties are being
shipped to Northern roads, they are
not selling any to the state roads.
A tie contractor discussing the
situation yesterday said:
1T might be the result of the adj
verse legislation that has just been
passed by the Legislature. The
roads are not too poor now, but
there is no telling how poor they will
be before they get through paying
the state exorbitant taxes, which the
Legislature seems disposed to make
them pay.
There may be other reasons, but
this one looks like the most plausi-
BILE to me-
''As a matter of fact the railroads
don't know where they are, and
before they get through paying the
state the taxes provided for they
may know less than they do now. All
of the second grade ties have been
heretofore sold to the state roads,
but they are not even buying them
now"
The cutters of second grade ties
have stopped the work for the
present.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimous in the conclu-
sion that the generally accepted lin
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge of
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines it's
duration, seems to be between go
and 60; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then be-
ing fatal to longevity. Natures best

ANOTHER MAY BE CALLED SOON

Just six hundred and ten votes
were cast in the county on Thursday
in the bond election, while exactly
one thousand registered and qualified
voters remained away from the polls
upon that occasion and did not vote
for or against bonds.
Such was the surprising fact
brought to light yesterday when
the county vote was consolidated
In this consolidation it was shown
that a total of Gle votes of total
registration of 1906 were cast. Of
this number the vote for and against
bonds was as follows:
For road bonds 504; against road
bonds So. For college bonds 500;
against college bonds "a.
From these figures it is clearly
evident that there was no real OPP
position to the bond issue, else those
opposing it would have come to the
polls and so expressed themselves.
AS IL was, more IMAM LULU voters
did not come out at all.
Evidently, the proposition was not
fully understood.
The subject of calling another cleo
ton within thirty days is being gen
orally discussed among citizens of
the town and county as we'll
If a thousand voters remained away
from the polls, and did not vote for
or against bonds, surely the propo-
sition must have been misunderstood
by great many. Perhaps if ano-
Their election is held the result would
be materially changed
Whether or not this will be done
has not been determined.
