A CALL BACK TO
The SIMPLE FAITH
REV. E. H. MGEHEE, VENERA-
BILE MINISTER OF GOD, FILLS
METHODIST PULPIT.

Dawson has always had high APP
probation of Revs. John B. and E..
II. McGehee, two of the most useful
ministers of the South Georgia con-
ference in forcefulness and length of
service, and it was the rare privilege
of many on Sunday at the eleven
O'Clock hour at the Methodist church
to hear the surviving brother, Rev.
Howard McGehee, deliver a sermon
with old time fervor and strength
from the text, "And when the men
of that place had knowledge of Him
they sent out into all that country
round about and brought unto Him
all that were diseased, and besought
Him that they might only touch the
hem of His garment, and as many as
touched were made perfectly whole"
Mathew 14:35-36.
The theme, bringing sin-sick souls
to Christ, was one to stir the emo
lions and all were deeply moved The
speakers earnest message was a cla-
rion call back to the old paths of
simple faith in living redeemer.
One who listened with pleasure to
this faithful old servant of God was
heard to remark that Howard Nc
Gehee, even at his advanced age, is
stronger mentally, morally and physi-
cally than many preacher of half
his years"
His words of wisdom were bene-
diction, and his ringing declaration
of increasing faith in the Bible and
the teachings of the divine Lord as
the only hope for a storm-tossed
world arrested thought and led the
mind to a contemplation of things
high and holy.

ENJOYABLE LITERARY MEETING
OF The MISSIONARY SOCIETY
An Unusually Interesting and Help
full Programme Featured the
Gathering of Workers.

A very enjoyable affair of the past
week was the literary meeting of the
Woman's Missionary Society of the
Methodist church, which was enter
tanned in her hospitable home by the
president, Mrs. J. G. Parks
The program for the afternoon
brought out the thought of the study
arranged by the missionary council
and laid down in the year book re-
garding "The Kingdom of God in
Legislation" The important topic
was Social Legislation Along Indus
trial Lines"
The meeting was opened with a
song appropriate to the study. An
earnest prayer by Miss Belle Cheat
ham, followed by an instructive Bible
lesson given by Mrs. D. F. English,
"Our Lord and the Golden Rule"
brought the thought of each one to
the high standard held up for those
who would fight the good fight of
faith. Miss Belle Cheatham told of
an article written by DR.. Robert
Woods on "The Social Settlement
and Trade Unionism," which brought
out many interesting facts, as did
the article written by Miss Taylor
read by Mrs. ]. S. Lowrey, the sub
iect being Child Protection in Time
of War" Mrs. R. p. Jones delight
ed all with vocal solo. Mrs. L. C.
Hoyl rendered very impressively a
piano solo, Nearer My God to
Thee" Mrs. Stanford closed the
meeting with prayer, and the social
hour which followed was made all
the more pleasant by the delicious
refreshments. Mrs. Parks was leader
of the helpful meeting, and Mrs. Guy
Chappell pianist.

city, and many of them would come
back home if they had the money.
According to the returned negro
wages are some higher in the North
than in Georgia, but the increase
of cost of living there more than
offsets the difference. For instance
Georgia cane syrup is sold in Hart
ford at 40 cents for a tenth of a
gallon bottle and Southern corn meal
at 10 cents pound or $3.50 bushel.
Both of these commodities are prime
favorites with the Southern negro,
and those in Hartford will pay any
price for them when they can be had
at all.

Mr.. Bridges, who has long been
one of the county's most enterprising
and successful farmers, did not
plant stalk of cotton this year, and
is we'll satisfied with the result. I'm
til this year he devoted a consider
able part of his farm to cotton and
grew it successful, but with the APP
pearance of the boil weevil he de-
cided there was less risk and more
money in cultivating other crops.

QUART LAW UNAFFECTED

While some OF the papers Of this
State have maintained that the bone
dry" law passed by Congress would
operate to inyalidate the concession
airy provision OF the West Virginia
law which permits the individual to
personally bring one quart of liquor Il
month into the State for his own use,
The Inteligencer has insisted that it
was neither the intent nor the effect of
the law. On another page of this is
sue that opinion is rindicated by the
construction of the United States stat
ute by the State Tax Commissioner.
and fortified by the same interpreter
ton by the Washington authorities.
On dts face. the drastic Reed amend
ment to the PoStotllce Appropriation
bill could have no other effect than
STRENGTHENING the West Virginia law,
which already forbids the shipping Of
liquor into the State. but it cannot
abate the personal use Of liquor under
the qualifications of the State law.

GOVERNOR CORNWELL

Mr.. Cornwell, as Governor or west
Virginia, faces some very serious
tasks, and no one more than The In
telligencer realizes the disadvantages
he labors under in representing a
party which controls only one branch
OF the legislature and with all the de-
partments OF government in control OF
Republican officials. In his inaugural
address delivered at Charleston, yes
terday, he reiterates his intention OF
service to all the people of the State
which he promised in the campaign,
and to pursue a middle course-"con-
seryausm without inertia, as he puts
it. In carrying out this policy, or as
much Of it as he shall be able 10 do,
he is not likely to be hampered to any
extent BY the Republicans in any leg
Islature that shall assemble during his
administration.
!, However sincere Governor CornWeIl
may be in his non-partiSan PROFESSIONS
his previous record is not encouraging
to any gerat, fulfillment on that score
He NAV be assured. however, OF cordial
SUPPORT along any line he may take IN
advancing the moral. social and eco
nomic welfare OF the people. II he
proceeds on the principle OF progress
Without revolution as he has intlinal'
ed he will do. ne will only have 10 fol
low the constructive course lad out hy

The Intelligencer admits that some OF
1t is yet to b. perfected. any tampeF'
ing with the progressive principles IN
culca.ed in these measures Will WORK
10 the establishment OF the whole tent
pie Of achievement.
Governor Cornwclt advocates the de-
.yelopment Of more pronounced spirit
of State unity; the cultivation OF west
Virginia ideals. Commensurate indeed Is
that appeal. That is what the Repuo-
rhcan party has been prompting right
and whatever of accomplish
mnent il has met has been in spite OF
the Democratic party. and not through
any cooperation on iiS part. II Nj.

on US Il new relationship with the Ell
