DIR. j. j. Bennett, the Old Secretary.
The Mission Board of the Georgia
Baptist Convention, located at Atlanta,
is charged with the duty of encourag-
ing and directing the raising and eX-
penditure of money for missions and
for educational purposes. When the
associations meet the brethren will be
greatly encouraged by the reports that
will be made. These reports will show
remarkable progress in the face of
great drawbacks within and without.
For eighteen months DR.. ]. ]. Ben
nett, who was the leader of the mis-
sion work, has been laid aside by ILL
ness; but the feeling of individual
responsibility among the leading
church members has helped to keep
up the interest in the work, and there
has not been so much of let-dOwn
as might have occurred. Few men of
his age have possessed the personal
magnetism of Joe Bennett, and few
men have aroused his people to make
such heroic efforts for advancing the

A new leader has been called to this
work as Sec. and Treas. of the Geor-
gia Baptist Convention, in the person
of DR.. Arch G.. Cree. He will be heard
with interest and enthusiasm at many
of the associational meetings in the
next few weeks urging his people TO
go on to still greater achievements in
the future. The campaign for State
Missions is already on and Georgia
Baptists are rallying to do large
things for State Missions.

GREAT TASK OF A GREAT PEO-

DAY IN SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
BY Alex w. Bealer.

Septemps.~ and October are red-let-
ter months in the Georgia Baptist
year. In these months the District
Associations meet and the Baptist
clans gather for their annual conclave,
giving ample opportunity for greet
ings and fraternal fellowship that can
be had in no other way.
There are three hundred thousand
white Baptists in Georgia. A major
ity of them live in. the country and
have their membership in one of the
twenty-five hundred Baptist churches
scattered from the mountains of Dade
to the sands of Chatham. 1t is safe
to say that four out of every seven
churches in the country, and about
the same proportion of church mem
bers, are of the Baptist persuasion
Since the social life of the country
is somewhat limited, the people vel
come such opportunities of meeting
their friends and brethren.

THE BAPTISTS OF GEORGIA
ARE TO HOLD BIG MEETINGS

IRON one 10 nve m1Ies TO spenu the
night in the homes Of their hosts.
The Organization And Purpose
To the uninformed these associa-
tions are strange bits of ecclesiastical
machinery. They have no authority to
legislate for, nor to direct, the church
es composing them. They are the
creatures, not the creators, OF the
churches; the servants, not the rulers.
Each individual Baptist is spiritual
democrat owing allegiance in spiritual
matters only to his Lord. The church
to which he belongs is an independent
body. having but one law to govern it,
the law of the New Testament; and
but one great purpose, to win men
to God. This is the faith and prac-
tice of every well-regulated Baptist
and, of course, every well-regulated
Baptist church.
The churches appoint delegates, or
messengers, who come together as an
association to devise ways and means
for doing this great work. The asso-
Citations and churches together elect
representatives who form the State
Convention and the different State
Conventions make up the Southern
BAPTIST Convention. The business of
all these organizations is to hear re-
ports on what has been done during
the past year and to plan for more
aggressive work in the year that is
to come. They are, Simon pure"
unterrifed and unterrifable Spiritual
Democrats.
Thomas jefferson Studied BaptistS
1t is claimed by Baptist historians
that Thomas Jefferson studied the
practices and principles of the Bap-
fists and that in consequence he mod
elled the government of the United
States after the constitution of little
Baptist Church in the mountains of
Virginia
1t requires no stretch of the mag
nation to see the Baptist practice and
principle running like a scarlet thread
eminent to the other. There is the
individual citizen over against the in
dividual church member, the commun-
ity corresponding to the local church,
the county matching the district asso-
citation, the State government side by
side with the State Convention and
the Congress of the Nation paralleling
the general Convention of the denomi-
nation.
A Story OF Progress To Be Told
Within the next two months about
one hundred of these associations will
meet in Georgia. There the people
will be told what they have accom-
plished through their various mission
airy, educational and eleemosynary or
CARNATIONS. 1t is a story of remark
able progress. In 1900 there were $780,
600 white Baptists in the State of
Georgia and they had 1000 churches.
That year they raised for missions
the sum of S4224400. The figures for
last year show that there are now in
Georgia $500 churches with a member
ship of 100000. Last year they rails

Interesting Possibilities of a Dutch
mans Contribution to Science.
1t is possible that with the aid of
an entirely new device, invented by
a Dutch scientist, the telephone con-
nection of the future will be merely
tiny hole in the wall, not larger
than the diameter of pencil in size,
while the receiver and transmitter
will be carried in ones pocket, for in
the new invention they are not larger
than a watch.
The thermaphone as its inventor
has named it, is much more sensi-
tive than the usual telephone receiv-
er, so that messages can be heard
very much more clearly. A cross
continent telephone message, with
perfect relays, can be heard as easily
with a themaphone as though the
speaker were in the next room. More
over, it is much more silent. No one
can hear the message except the per
son receiving it.
The transmitter is so sensitive, al
so, that there is no need to speak
loudly. The lower the voice the more
clearly it can be heard.

ately to the State Convention are Mer-
Ger University at Macon, and Bessie
Tiff College for women at Forsyth, to-
gether with eight secondary or high
schools. In addition to these there
are Shorter College at Rome, Cox Col

but not the immediate property of the
Convention.
Besides they own and operate the

100000 FIRST PRIZE.
FOR THE BEST AGRICULTURAL
FLOAT IN ATLANTA PARADE.
Georgia Festival Association Deter
mined to Make Agricultural Pa
rade Best Ever Witnessed.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The executive
committee of the Georgia Harvest
Festival Association at a special
meeting held yesterday afternoon
voted unanimously to appropriate
$4,000 as cash prizes to be awarded
for floats in the agricultural parade,
which is to be pulled off in Atlanta
as part of the Harvest Festival, This
great agricultural parade is schedul-
ed to take place on Thursday, Nov.
18th, and any citizen of Georgia will
have the privilege of competing for
the prizes by entering a float in the
parade, provided he operates a farm.
The first prize will be 1000, the
second $500, and $500 will be d.
vided between six or twelve contest
ants. The offering of this prize will
assure the greatest agricultural pa
rade ever witnessed in Georgia and
probably in the South.
Clarke Secures Appropriation.
pCICl al 0CNI CtSll AAN w a. - Jung
Clarke of the Brooks County Indus
trial Club appeared before the exec
utive committee and urged the com
mittee to appropriate not less than
$4,000 in cash prizes for the agricult-
ural floats. The member of the com
mittee at first regarded this as ex-
cessiVe, but after Mr.. Clarke had
gone into the matter thoroughly with
them they unanimously voted $4,000
for this purpose alone, which is the
largest appropriation of prize money
for any purpose for the festival.
A competent committee of judges
will be appointed from different parts
of the state to make the awards. The
judges will occupy the judges stand
and witness the agricultural float pa
rade, and later will inspect the floats
after they have been parked, and
Thursday night they will meet and
announce their decision, and the
prizes will be ready to deliver to the
various contestants the next day if it
is so desired.
Already a number of counties in
Georgia, having heard of the plan
which was probable to be adopted,
are getting busy preparing to enter
the agricultural float contest. Cobb
county, DeKalb county, Thomas
county, Sumter county and it is be-
lieved Brooks county will certainly
be well represented in the agricult-
ural parade.
The executive committee announce
they will issue full details in regard
to the agricultural float contest.

no reason for tearing up your system
in such a drastic manner.

full as calomel for toning up your

for its own security" met with the
hearty approval of bankers and "e'g
business" men in the Wall Street dis

opinion that it was the intention OF

thing that will injure the present bus
