INTEREST is GREAT IN
MEETINGS In PROGRESS
Mr.. Cranberry at the FurIOW
Lawn Church

Rev Robert Cranberry, who is con-
Quoting the series of revival meet
ings at Furlow Lawn Baptist church,
addressed two large and apprec;ative
assemblages yesterday, preaching in
the afternoon at O'clock and again
at night, when the capacity of the
house was taxed
Mr.. Granberry's discourse last night
was upon The New Birth"
The text was in John 3:3: Except
a man be born again he cannot see
the kingdom of heaven" In part the
minister said:
Religion was primarily a national
consideration during the Old Tesla
ment days. In the New Testament dis
pensation it is of the individual. The
Old Testament laid stress on ritual
istic purity; the New Testament al
ways and ever stresses the inner life
of the individual.
'Multitudes have placed themselves
IN NlcodemuS' shoes, and heard the
Master on the New Birth. We could
not consider a more important subie It
nor could you give attention to a
more fundamental theme
Il cannot tell you how the New
Birth is accomplished. 1t is beyond
me. The finite mind of man cannot
grasp Infinity. We believe many things
we cannot understand. We believe
that God created and sustains the uni
verse, but do you know how? You
cannot analyze the dew drop, but God
tathoms it. He who believes only what
he understands will be in a poor con-
dition, indeed. DO you understand
how God kisses black soil and red
roses spring forth? But He does; and
you cannot see or tell how.
so with the New Birth. 1t is a
fact, though beyond comprehension.
Now, mark you, Jesus Himself did
not explain it. He said: 1T must,
must be- That's all. What do you

FEDERATION MOVEMENT FOR women
IS NOW TAKING ROOT IN AMERICAS
Every Assurance That Large and FOrSg Club Devoted TO Civic I'm
pOVGmGn Will Soon Be Doing Good Work in This CtSlHiRg
Appeals on Monday Might

One of the most helpful features of
the addresses delivered by the repre-
sentatives of the Georgia Federation
of Womans Clubs here recently was
the emphasis placed on civic improve
ment. So strong an appeal was made
and so responsive a chord was struck
that it is practically assured that
Americas will soon have a large and
flourishing woman's club organized.
The numerous branches of endeavCr
that are embraced in the work of the
women's clubs were carefully re-
viewed and explained by the speakers
to an audience that was deeply appre-
ciative of the efforts made by the rep
resentatives of the organized work Of
women in Georgia to acquaint the pup
lie with the aims and purposes of that
organization. A large and representa-
tive attendance was present to greet
the lecturers, who held the attention
of their audience to the very close.
Mrs. J. E. Mathis presided over the
meeting. She introduced the speak
ers with happy reference to the true
relationship of woman to the work of
today, as shown by the achievements
of organized women's clubs.
Prefacing her address on THE Cen
eral Work of the State Federation, -
Mrs. Hugh NJ. Wtllet, of ATLANTA paid
a notable tribute to the beauty, Gull
tdre and general spirit of progress
which characterizes Americas. Mrs.
Willet termed Sumter county the mod
ell county of Georgia, citing its
achievements in every line of worthy
endeavor as a basis for her state
nent
After touching briefly upon the in
fuence of the women's clubs in Sc
curing the passage of the Atlanta city
bonds and the bonds for Agnes Scott
College, MS. Willett stressed the fact
that woman's work is as broad as the
civilized world, as reforms must coma
from the fireside. The purpose of the
Federation is so broad and humani-
tartan, the matter of woman suffrage

ANOTHER CALL DOWN
FOR NORTH GEORGIA
South Georgia Getting Ready
to SWipG Supremacy
Savannah Morning Newsl

1t is a fact that North Georgians
have for a long time had most of the
political offices, mainly for the reason
that they are natural born politicians,
taking more interest in politics than
in most anything else, and now it
seems from a communication from the
Rev. w, "A Huckabee of Douglas, Ga,
in the Macon Telegraph, the North
Georgia preachers are trying to grab
all of the leading educational institu-
tions of the state.
Mr.. Huckabee bases his communi-
cation on a report that a suggestion
has been made to move Wesleyan
College to Oxford, Ga. He thinks it
more likely that Emory College will
be moved to Macon than that Wes-
leyan College will be moved to Oxford
His reason for this belief is that South
Georgia contributes more to the sup
port of Emory TINA North Georgia,
outside of Atlanta, does But, as a
matter of fact, Mr.. Huckabee doesn't
expect to see Emory College moved
to Macon or Wesleyan College moved
to Oxford, but he does expect to see,
not very far in the future, a move
ment to establish a great rival male
college in South Georgia.
There is reason for this view, as Mr.
Huckabee points out. South Georgia
is growing in wealth and population
very fast, much faster than North
Georgia, and in the course of a COM
paratively few years most of the
wealth and population of the state will
be in South Georgia. The lands of
South Georgia are being put in cult
vatoin very rapidly and the towns
are growing so fast that they are

branches Of the work, Mrs. Willet urg-
ed the organization of a local branch
of the State Federation and also the
influence which such an organization
might WELD in the betterment of the
city.
Following Mrs. Willet's general talk
Mrs. Walter Lamar, of Macon, dis
cussed "Infirmaries of State Institu-
lions" in a most happy and optimis-
tic manner. Mrs Lamar remarked
that she had probably been selected
by Mrs. Willet to discuss the subject
of infirmaries because of the fact that
she had never been i'll and never would
be. She pointed out the great need Of
adequate hospital facilities at the Uni
versity of Georgia, the Georgia School
of Technology and the North Georgia
Agricultural College. Georgia bears
the unenyiabIe record, said Mrs. La
mar, of doing least of any satte in
this section for the young men AMI
young ladies who become i'll while at
tending it's public educational institu-
lions.
AT the conclusion of the addresse.-
it was agreed by those present that a
date would be named later for the
calling of general meeting of the
ladies of Americus to discuss the ad-
visibility of organizing a woman;
club.

AMERICAS is WINNER In
CONTEST AT ALBANY
Davis Gold Medal is Given
Miss stills

Americas talent again signally tri-
umphed at Albany when Miss Cor
inne Stills, for the second time within
the brief space of one week, was
awarded a gold medal over numerous
well-trained contestants for excellence
in instrumental music, to the delight
of her many friends, both in Ameri-
Gus and in Albany.
Last Saturday Miss Sills won the
medal at the Inter-County Institute
at Fitzgerald, the award being made
unanimously and tnstantaneousIy,
without discussion upon the part of
the board of judges.
But the triumph achieved at AL
bany Monday night, where she played
before an immense assembIage at the
Georgia Chautauqua, was even more
pronounced
Here the fair and talented young
Americus girl, one of the many bright
lpupils of Miss Bells school of music,
had as her competitors eight fair
representatives from as many coun-
ties, each perfectly confident of bear
ing off the medal
In manner easy and graceful, AMI
not the least disconnected, the Ameri-
Gus girl advanced before the cast au-
dience and rendered her selection, the
"Valse Chromatique," by GODDARD. From
the first touch of the keys she had
Iher audience with her, and in CON
clusion was overwhelmed with COM
pliments.
The contest was closely waged be-
tween Miss Stills and the fair contest
ant from Thomasyille The award
was made by number, the judges not
knowing the names or place of resi-
dence of the players
1t is coveted honor to win the
Clementine Davis medal and Miss
Bells pride in the success of her
talented young pupil is shared by the
entire people of Americas.
There were two other Americas en-
tries in evolutionary contests, John
T. Taylor, Jr., who received honor
airy mention, and Miss Lide, who also
acquitted herself handsomely in the
girls contest, and while they did not
win the coveted prizes, the splendid
effort of each contestant aroused the
enthusiasts moi the audience
Americas talent thus acquits itself
handsomely in two strenuous contests
within a week, having literally swept
the field at Fitzgerald last Friday

substitute-your heart must be made
anew. Not baptism, church member
ship, or benevolent giving will suffice
The worst place conceivable for the
unconverted man is in the church.
Though we cannot understand all
about the How of the new birth, we
can see the reasonableness of the
demand. For Heaven is "a prepared
place for a prepared people. The

regenerate man would be in misery
upon the crystal pavements of Heaven,
and unhappy beneath the tree of life.
Heaven is no place for a sinner. His

Then, again, we must see the reas-
onableness of the demand when we
recall that Heaven is a spiritual place.

If you are to be like God-and Goo

ibleness of this demand of Jesus
Jesus was not talking to outcasts
drunkards and thieves when he said :
'Ye must be born again j want you
to see that. But he was speaking to
a nobleman, councillor and church
member. One principle which inter
ests in this text is applicable to all
men alike: Thou art the man The

CUT OUT DOGS KIDNEYS

Experiment Proved Possibility OF
Grating Vital Organs.

The official obituary of a dog which
had both kidneys removed and one of
them replanted in the interests of sci
ence is published in the August num-
Der of the Journal of Experimental
Medicine by DR.. Alexis Carrel of the

search. The dog lived two years and
five months, raised two litters of pups
and died from causes in no way re-
lated to the momentous operations to
which it was subjected to prove the
possibility of replanting and grating
vital organs.
The first experiment was made on
Feb. 6, 1908. The dog was put under
an anaesthetic at 1912 a. M, and the
left kidney was taken out and dissect-
ed. The kidney was washed with
Locke's solution and immersed in the
solution until the surgeons were ready
to replace it at the end of fifty min
utes.
