Easter. Date Depends on tho Moon.

Casters Date Depends on tho Moon.
1t is well known that Easter Sunday
seldom, II ever, falls upon the same
day of the month, two years in sue
cession. Indeed. it does not always
appear in the same month. for, while
it usually ZONES in March. this year
it comes in April This variation is
traceable to- the phases Of the moon.
Easter Sunday is always the first Sun
day after the first full moon Of spring.
As spring begins on March q. this
means that Easter Sunday never comes
earlier than March 81 Or later than
April 25.

Cost of Athletics Debated

During the discussions some one in
the audience asked: "How much of
the present debt has been occasion
ed by football and athletics?"
There was much contention for the
floor and after considerable debate,
a motion was made and carried that
the debate be closed. The resolution
and amendment was adopted. The
Blue Ridge assembly question was
discussed by J. P. Nichols, of Griffin;
R. Van Devender, of Jackson; w. L.
Pickard and w. A. Ta1iaferro, OF
Macon, and initial steps were taken
to institute summer school at Blue
Ridge.
The report of the Sunday-school
secretary, George w. Andrews, of At
lanta, was read, which showed such
gratifying results that the convention
authorized an assistant for him in his
work.

fist convention opened with stormy
weather and at one time it appeared
as though stormy session was in
evitable. During the morning A. W.

resolution looking to the solution OF
Mercer university problems.
The resolution requested from the
convention, authority to mortgage the
property of Mercer in order to secure
sufficient funds for her pressing debts
An amendment was offered which in
cluded the granting of the same pow

The Baptist convention opened on
Wednesday with a revival spirit and
closed with red hot debate. 1t was
a swing from one end Of the circle
to the other, and yet the brethren
kept'ih a good humor.
The convention, at the morning
session, decided to inaugurate state
wide revival campaign to start in
South Georgia in January and to wind
up in North Georgia in April. Many
short revival speeches were made, and
some of the brethren were about to
get shouting happy
DR.. Lansing Burrows was called on
to pray for the spirit of the Lord to
come down on the state.
Before he prayed he called on Rev.
Charlie Wilkerson, af Augusta, to
lead in singing Come Holy Spirit,

to enforce the orders of the body.
Heretofore orders have been disre-
garded, and there was no one to see
that they were enforced
DR.. c. w. Daniel, Of Atlanta, in a
vigorous speech, attacked the resolu-
tons as being arbitrary and un-Bap-
tistic. DR.. Mcconnell, of Atlanta,
and DR.. Nell favored them, and af-
ter many questions asked of DR.. Nell
they were passed by a large major
ity.

A New Departure

At the closing session a brand-new
departure among Baptists was sprung.
DR.. John Nell, of Athens, had sug-
gested at the former session that the
troubles of the Baptists was that they
had no machinery for carrying out
the measures it had agreed upon. A
committee was appointed to report
some plan with this new end in view.
The committee reported by its
chairman, Dr. John Nell 1t recon-
mended that a committee be ap-
pointed, consisting of three laymen

CLUB MUST DISBAND.

States Attorney Theodore Il. Hopkins
went to Winooski yesterday where he
conducted prosecution in Judge Conlin's
court against the shamrock club whose
room ou the second floor of the Corpora
tion building WIS raided very successfully
for intoxicating liquor Saturday night A
young man Under age, named Arthur
Brouilard, who it was explained was
the bartender for the club, appeared in
court as the respondent. He was ad-
Judged the owner and the liquor was or
dered coniiscated and destroyed. The
prosecution for selling liquor Illegally was
continued for sentence after Brouillar d
had pleaded guilty and his personal bail
was taken.
The proceedings against this "club"
were taken because of numerous COM
plants that liquor was being dispensed in
the club rooms and that larger part of
the membership consisted of boys under
age. II appeared from Brouillard's story
that he acted in the capacity of bartender
and ordered the booze. The average
weekly consumption was six cases of beer
and IA gallon of WhiskeN. The club seem
ed to do business only ON saturday nights
and sundays. After the liquor had been
ordered, Brouillard said, he turned II over
