Hundred and First Session
Begins Second Century of
Work of the Organization,
Reports to Be Heard
BY LOUIS ID. NEWTON

The one hundred and first session
Of the Georgia Baptist convention
will be held in Atlanta beginning
Wednesday morning, December 6, Mt
$50 o'clock and adjourning at will
Friday, December 8.
This session is notable in that it
| begins for Georgia Baptists the Sec
ond century Of their organized work.
The centennial of the convention
was fiittingly celebrated last June
in programs held at old Kiokee
! church, the first Baptist church ever
constituted in this commonwealth
in 1872; then at Powelton, the site
where the Georgia Baptist conven-
ton was organized in June, 1882;
| and closing with a great mass meet
| ing of Baptists in Macon where ad-
dresses were delivered by a dozen
of the leading Baptist men of the
south. The centennial has been cele-
| brated in every gathering Of the
! district association meetings this
fall. There will be a report at the
approaching session of the conven-
| ton from the centennial committee
which has had in charge the details
| of the several celebrations.
DR.. John D. Nell, of Athens, is
president of the convention and will
call the body to order on December
| 6. DR.. Nell has been president of
| the convention for the past ten
years. His ability as a parliament
| tartan and his wide acquaintance
with the membership of the Gorgia
Baptist churches combine to make
him the choice Of the convention for
president. He is the son of DR..
Patrick H. Nell, for many years the
chancellor of the state university
and a leader in Baptist affairs for
dent of the Southern Baptist con-
fist convention.
DR.. B. D. Ragsdale is the secre
tary of the convention, a position
which he has held for twenty six
years with such distinction and sat
isfaction that the convention finds
great pleasure in re-electing him
every year. DR.. Ragsdale Is pro
fessor in Mercer university and an
able preacher. Other officers of the
convention are DR.. E. J. Forester
of Sparta, who has been treasurer
for number Of years. The vice
presidents are A. w. Evans, of San
dersville; DR.. Graham Forester, Of
Montezuma; Frank M. Oliver, OF
Savannah, and Rev. Lewis a. Hen
derson, of Columbus. Rev. w. Il
! Granade, of Statesboro, is assistant
secrtary.
Among the important matters rc
come before the convention this year
will be the report of DR.. Arch G
Cree, of the receipts from the "75
million campaign" for the year just
closing.
Third Year Closed
This report closes the third year
in the five-year program included in
the $75,000,0 900 movement. The re
port this year promises to be slightly
better than that Of last year. A
vigorous roundup campaign is now
in progress with the hope that by
the time the books close on Novem
Der 80 there will be little less thar
the quota for the year in hand. Exact
figures for the year will be published
at that time.

AMENDMENTS ONLY
MATTERSOF DOUBT
IN STATE ELECTION

That all Democratic candidates
will win in the Georgia general cleo
ton today was the prevailing opin-
ion in political circles.
AS to proposed constitutional
amendments to be voted on, there
was considerable doubt and specula-
ton for various reasons. The amend
ment creating the proposed county
Of Peach, with Fort Valley as the
county seat, has been subjected in
the past ten days to an aggl essive
campaign Of opposition by citizens
of Houston and Macon counties,
from which the proposed new county
is to be created.
Another proposed amendment
which seemed to be in doubt was
the one creating the new Fifty-sec-
ond state senatorial district, COM
posed of Berrien, Cook and Lanier
counties. In various counties in
southeast Georgia in the neighbor-
hood of this proposed new district
there have been put into circulation
so-called Official ballots" which con.
tain no mention of this proposed
amendment.
More than usual confusion concern
ing the so-called Official ballot" for
use in the general election has pre-
vailed in advance of this election.
AS a matter of fact, as pointed out
Saturday by Governor Hardwick,
there is no really official ballot"
The law makes it the duty of the
governor to place on the ballot the
proposed constitutional amendments
previously passed up by the legisla-
ture. Custom of years standing
makes it incumbent upon the gov
ernor to furnish the county ordina-
ries, who are in charge of the gen
eral election, list OF the Democratic
nominees, and this is called the
Official Democratic Ballot"
Governor Hardwick, in an inter
view Friday, expressed the opinion
that the state should put an end to
the confusion surrounding the bal
lots used in the general election by
printing and paying the cost of the
same, placing upon the official Dem
ocratic, ballot the names Of Demo
Garlic candidates certified by the rec
ognized party authorities, and plac-
ing upon the official ballot Of any
other party the names Of its candi-
dates so certified, provided such other
party was able to show that it polled
as many as $4,000 votes or some
such number in the last preceding
general election.
AS matters now stand, voter
has the right to deposit in the ballot
box in a general election any sort of
a ballot he wishes to deposit. He
can write his choice on a blotter II
he wants to and put it in the box
and the managers in charge are re-
quired to count it. Or he can vote
for some Of the nominees of his
party and scratch the names OF
others.
Candidates running in opposition
to the Democratic nominees have no
way of getting their names on the
official ballot because there is no
official ballot" because there is no
called an official Democratic bal
lot'' sent out in specimen form by
the governor to the ordinaries, and
containing the. names of the Demo
Garlic nominees and also the pro-
posed constitutional amendments.
The independent candidates must de-
pend upon the voters to remember
their names and write them on the
ballots. Otherwise, the Independent
candidates must print and distribute
ballots at their expense, containing

Santo Domingo Frogs
Bark Like Dogs and
Squeal Like Pig:

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Frogs that
bark like foxhounds and squeal
like frightened pigs, according to
the American Museum Of Natural
History, are among the more than
200 living and preserved specimens
of reptile life brought to it by an
expedition just returned from a
year in Santo Do 'ngo.
Capture of the barking frogs was
thus described by members of the
expeditions:
Hunting was carried on chiefly
at night and it was a weird expe'
rionce to penetrate the blackness OF
these tropical forests a.-d to hear
a on would suppose, dogs barking
high over ones head in The ee
tops. The first barking frog that e
captured startled the members OF
the party considerably. Instead OF
V sgling like q frog, or even growl
ing like a dog, it opened it's mouth
wide and gave a terrific squeal
such as a pig N agony might make
Later it was discovered that this
tree-top frog - t e trees in the
breeding season ar laid it's eggs
on the ground. The eggs, which
were very large and about thirty
n number. did not hatch out as is
the general rule among our north
ern frogs, into tadpoles, but instead
into tiny froglets of the same form
as their parents.
1.-THE first giant tree frog was
found taking a mist bath beside a
mountain torrent. It's capture was
not without hazard, as when
touched, it exuded a milky secre
ton which inf1amed the hands and
filed the air with a pungent and ir'
ritating vapor."

To HELP
FARM BLOC" IS
CAPITAL REPORT
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLEK

WASHINGTON, Oct. GA farm
bloc" in the next congress even
more aggressive and independent
than the present organization,
| which on occasions now holds the
| balance of power in both houses, is
predicted by members Of congress
who have been back home and have
returned to Washington.
These returning legislators pri-
vately said today that the farm
| ing class throughout the country is
in a most dissatisfied, even resent
full, mood. There are whispers of
an agricultural revolt unless con-
ditions improve.
Members in congress who have
| heretofore held aloof from the
''bloc" movement, it is predicted,
will be driven to it in self-defense
after sounding sentiment back in
| their states. Returning members
bring stories Of farm crops that have
not yielded cost of production. La
Dor costs, freight charges, commits
sion and handling expenses and
other elements entering into produc-
ton and sale, are declared to have
eaten away the farmers profits and
| left him in a state Of extreme pes
| SlInlSIu anu SdlIS1dCl1OII.
A case is cited where a farmer
sold 300 barrels of potatoes. After
he had hauled them to the railroad
station, paid the freight and other
charges, he netted about 5 cents per
barrel.
Another sold his apples almost for
a song and then went to a city and
found apples selling at 3 to cents
apiece.
Much of the dissatisfaction is re-
ported to be directed at the admin
istration in power. 1t is always
that way. However, the farmer
isn't entirely satisfied that the op-
position party will bring any better
| luck. He thinks there is something
wrong with the system somewhere,
and expects the farm bloc" to get
busy. 81
| While the agricultural class is dis
eruntIed about low prices and hard
| times on the farm, returning pollt'
| ical observers say the adm1n1stra'
ton has benefited through two
things: defeat by presidential veto
of the soldiers bonus bill, which
would have increased taxation. The
farmers lack Of sympathy with or
ganized labor, it's strikes, and the
high wages labor is receiving
These two things are said to be off
setting, to a degree, the reaction
! against the Harding administration
among farmers who have their own
grievances regarding good crops
but starvation prices.
Many producers on the farm are
declared not to have enough money
to pay their 1922 taxes and the en-
tire agricultural situation is de-
scribed as critical. This leads &c
forecasts that the farm bloc" IN
congress must be watched next SEES
sion and thereafter and that mere
will be a formidable and bipartisan
alignment among members from the
agricultural states.

Laymen to Take Part
Headed by Rush Burton, confer
ence lay lie der, under whose leader
ship the work of the laymen has at
tracted the attention Of the entire
church, the laymen will take more
prominent part in the proceedings
of the conference this year than
ever before. An effort is being made
to give the laymen an hour during
Thursday mornings session, when
an account of their activities and

ference. On Wednesday evening a
banquet will be given to the con-
ference board of lay activities and
or Thursday another will be tender
ed to all the lay members of the
conference. In addition to Mr.. Bur
ton, it is announced that Professor
w. Sutton, of Atlanta, and G. l..
Morecock, of Nashville, Tenn, will
deliver addresses on some phase OF
lay activity.
An int"~asting fact that may be
developed during the week is the
'obability that more names may be
lost from the conference roll on &C
count of death, approximation and
transfer than will be gained in the
recruits admitted on trial. However,
1lv shortage of pastors will occur for
the reason that hundreds of local
preachers are on the reserve list,
most of whom are both willing and
| capable of serving charges as pas
tors should an emergency arise. The
following young preachers are ap'
plying for admission on trial as
itinerant pastors: Richard j.
Broyles. A. B. Elizer H. A. King,
G. c. Cleft, J. K. Kelly, w. L. Jol-
ly, Edward Craeger, E. S. VIM and
w. M. Dean.
It is expected that the reports Of
the various presiding elders which
will be M early in the week will
indicate that great progress has
been made throughout the confer.
ence in practically every depart
ment Of the church's work with the
exception of finances, which will
show a slight slump due to ravages
of the boil weevil in many sections.
Great revivals have been held dur
ing the year and the Sunday school
work has gone forward at an I'M
precedented rate. Probably more
new member: will be reported as
having joined the church than in
| many years.
Regular Program
The program Of work as outlined
for the approaching conference will
not vary materially from that of
previous years. Regular routine
business will be transacted during
the morning sessions, as usual, with
the evenings during the week given
over to the various conference
boards for their annual inspirations
al meetings and anniversaries.
Their will be preaching in the aft
ernOons by some members Of the
conference and by visiting pastors.
The presiding bishop will conduct
