time we were waking up to
greater, more systematic and con-
certcd effort in presenting the
multitude of advantages we had in
store for capital, labor and the
home seeker etc.
Facts and figured were brought
out showing that while Georgia
was blessed with greater natural
resources than almost any other
state in the union and was in
greater need of the development
of these resources, that less in pr . .
portion to her population and cap
ital was being done for its develop
ment than by anv other state i'll
the union.
Temporary organization was
perfected by the election of MIR.
Hayden of Atlanta, Chairmaf and
MIR. Adams of Albany SectY. A
number of speeches were made ex-
pressing the existence of a de-
mand for this organization and
faith III its cogennv.
Committees were appointed to
draft a constitution and bylaws
and to secure a charter.
The primary object of this or
ganization is first to induce each
town in the state of sufficient
population, not already organized
to form local trade body.
2nd to keep in touch with the
worldwide opportunities to adj
vance our every interest.
3rd to keep the local trade bodies
apprized of such opportunities as
are of local interest to them and
assist them in any and every way
possible in the furtherance of their
enterprises.
AS soon as practicable the next
meeting will be held in Macon at
which time ard place permanent
organization will be perfected by
the election of a president and
other officers and the adoption OF
the constitution and bylaws.
At an early date [ will call a
meeting of our Chamber and more
fully explain the object of the
State organization and the appar-
ant good it will accomplish.

PILGRIMS PROCRESS'PIcTURED
I.arve Audiences EBjoYed Production
of Biblical Piece at Colonial Last
Niehs.

Lovers of the s'movies packed
the Colonial Theatre last night at the
f;rst performance, and there We're
but few seats to spare at the sec
ond, and the patrons were treated 70
something vastly different to the
general run Of moving pictures.
1t was "Bunyan's Pilgrims Pro-
gress. /" one of the greatest religious
pieces ever written, hsralded ell over
the country by the clergy and press
that attracted the crowds. And the
story, which is a mythical one,
dream by Bunyan, from tins worid
into the hereafter, was produced with
realistic effect and received unbound
inc praise from the large audiences.
it was Noticeable that numbered
amcng the many spectators, were.
several of the local clergy and many
regular chureh-goers. So intense
was the interest shown IS the pictures
were being displayed, that there was
scarcely any noise at all IN the play
house. Four reels Of pictures are re-
ouired to produce tbs play. II IS the
Ambrosio version, and the scenery
used in the production is beautiful
and all Of the many characters are
very we'll taken. Actors OF fame
are in some of the roles.
The story is familiar to many resi-
dents of Annapolis. 1t tells Of the
| life of Bunyan, who was sotted
drunkard, and afflicted with all that
was mean and low. but who is con-
verted to piety largely through the
| influences of his wife. He reforms
and suffers a term in prison for his
refusal to forswear his faith. 1t was
while in prison that he dreamed the
wonderful dream Of how, in the role
of a Christian, he passed ever the
River of Death, through the Valley Of
/ the Shadow of Death, and overcame
other obstacles, and finally found
everlasting life ami happiness in
heaven, where he was Joined by his
wife and family.
The picture play is made even more
| attractive by the singing Of Mr.. q.
E Meade Mr.. Meade has an excel.
lent baritone voice. and in the course
of the pictures he sings The Palms,
''The Holy City," Jerusalem.
"Rock of Ages" and other hymns.
The pictures will be reproduced to-
night and tomorrow night and there
will also be a special matinee for
children tomorrow.

TO PROTECT CHILDREN.
What Maryland Society is Doing
Oae Case in Anne Arundel.

A monthly meeting OF the direc-
tors Of the Maryland Society to Pro-
tect Children from Cruelty and I'M
morality was held at its headquarters.
CSC w. Franklin street, Baltimore,
yesterday afternoon, President Isaac
S. Field, presiding.
Superintendent Parker made the
following report for December, 1912:
Gases investigated, SO: children
affected, l09; children removed from
improper surroundings, 4; children
placed in asylums, 2 children placed
in families, 5 children temporarily;
sheltered, o; children tax en- under
guardianship or supervision. Is; chill
dren otherwise relieved, %; certifi-
cate issued, s proceeding conducted,
3 children visited that have been
placed with families, 10.
One Of the cases attended to was
in Anne Arundel county, two were in
Baltimore county and all the Uthe RS
were in Baltimore city
Baltimore City--Four months ago a
I2-year-old orphan girl was drifting
around, not controlled; in fact, had
no settled home. We assumed GUS
tody Of this girl and placed her with
family where she is cared for, is
properly controlled and is contented
Recently we learned that the girls
brother, aged 10, was practically
homelesss. We placed him in an
asylum.
Cecil County--Some eighteen months
ago female infant, aged about one
month, was found by two boys among
sage bushes in the woods. Our So
ciety, assuming custody of the child,
placed her with family where she is
loved and cherished. Recently we
received a letter from the lady who
has adopted this little child. She
writes: Little ---- is well, IS
bright and says she is papa's and
mama's girl. Sne has dark brown
hair, which lays in euTls all over her
head. 1t is needless to say that
this child has a good home.
Baltimore City--Five children, rang
ing in age from one to eight years,
suffered for food and clothing. Their
mother was and is a good, Industrious
woman, but their father was intem-
perate and irresponsible. On Sunday,
the 9th instant, while drunk, he
gave whiskey to the two older chill
dren until they were insensible, and
one had fall, eating his head badly.
Our agent, Mr.. Radcliffe, saw and
talked with this father, who promised
to abstain from drink and we are glad
to say that he has kept his promise,
and seems to be doing everything pos
sible Tor the comfort of his family.
His wife is now happy woman. She
told our agent that this is the first
winter for years that the children
have had underclothing.
Our agents have, from time to
time, visited moving picture parlors
in the city, but have found no pictures
displayed that were especially OBJ
jectionable.

was observed as the Epiphany, or
Manifestation. On this day the Wise
Men of the East following the guiding
star, found the infant Jesus in a nang-
er at Bethlehem and there offered Him
gifts.
According to tradition the Wise Men
were three Kings .Gaspar, Melchoir
and Beithazar. The were later in life
baptized by st. Thomas, and spent
their days in preaching the Gospel.
After death their remains were remov-
ed to Cologne and may be to this day
seen in the noble cathedral there.

TT PAYS TO ADVERTISE"
TRY II a Few Times and See for
Yourself.

There is 9 great deal of complaint
among the merchants that all Of their
trade ems to be wenling its way
toward Baltimore, but they do not
seem to be doing one little thing to
counteracs this tendency.
SeIf-preservation is the first law
Of life, and this is MT only true con-
cerning human lie, but also the life
OF a business enterprise Of any kind,
and whene yer its existence or adj
vancement is threatened il is the
business mans duty to CONS forward
with renewed efforts and rebuild
There is an old, old saying and its
age must yoach for its truth--that
.'it pays to advertise. Pick up a
newspaper of some other city and
glance through its columns. Every
progressive firm is there represented.
Notice the word progressive. Ask
any Of the large firms in Baltimore
alone, and Baltimore is often referred
to as being behind the times. how
much money they spend on adyertis-
ing, and you will be surprised at the
figures. How many of the world
renowned business houses have been
built up almost entirely through ad-
vertising.
How can yon expect anybody to
know anything about you, if you dc
not advertise7Tell them of your wares.
and they will at least come and look al
them. And that is half the battle
Get the people into your stores, and
they will spend something. even if IL
is only five cents-aud then comes the
little old song, sung by every street
urchin, every little bit added to
what you'v We got makes just little bit
more, . with the accent on the mora.
Then, there is the trading stamp
Unfortunately, only certain firms car
use them, and the people are going
to deal where they receive them--anc
nobody can blame them for doing it.
For once in a lifetime, you receive
something for nothing. and this is
especially grateful now when prices
are so very high.
Those merchants that have not the
use of these stamps must evolve some
other scheme, and the writer of these
| columns will gladly advise those in,
terested what to do.
The first thing to do, of course,
| is to ADVERTISE, and if you can
not write your advertisements get
| the Capital to do it--it will be
done right, and bring results. The
! idea OF an advertisement must be as
apparent as the theme in a musical
composition, or the plot in story,
and it must be written in way to
impress itself upon the mind If the
reader.
The me rchants have always waited
| for the people to come to them. 1t
is now time that the merchants were
coming to the people, and the only
way in which this can be done is by
advertising. Read the above, and

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.
College Ave. Baptist Workers Ask
Questions.

Was it impossible for you to be
at Sunday-school the first Sunday in
the new year? If so, you missed a
lot if you were not there. Surely
you will come and bring someone
next Sunday. Don't you think it
would be fine il we could have our
room full. We want one hundred
present next Sunday. If you do your
part there will be that many.
There were ten scholars who did
not miss a Sunday last year, and
many more who only missed two or
three. Next Sundays lesson is
''Man the Crown of Creation. The
text is Genesis, l :26, q and I'd,
.25. The Golden Text is "God Great
ed man in His own image Genesis,
l:27.
Can you answer this question?
What is meant by the statement that
"God created man in His own
image?"
