Dr. Cody Finds Work for Baptists. |
I
I
j Dr. Z. T. Cody, editor of the Bap-1
tist Courier, returned to Greenville
yesterday from a four-months visit
to Europe, where as a member of a
special mission of th? Southern Baptist
Convention, he made an inspec- j
tion tour in the interest of proposed J
reconstruction work of the Baptist,
denomination in war ridden coun-1,
tries and devastated sections of the | (
Old World.
In speaking of the tour made by, ]
the mission yesterday Dr. Cody said j:
that it was a pronounced success and!.
had accomplished all that was outlin- J
ed for it to accomplish. The trip! ,
_ _ . .11
was not a pleasure trip Dr. Cody de- j
clared and wholly of a business!
nature for the denomination.
The countries visited by Dr. Cody
and other members of the mission ,
were England, Scotland, France, Bel- c
gium, Holland, Italy, Egypt, and
Palestine. In making the homeward j
trip from Palestine the mission came
back through Italy, France and Eng- .
land. One whole month, Dr. Cody j
said, was spent in Italy.
In reviewing conditions in a gen- .
oro 1 wov ac fV?o mi'cci'nn fnnrtrl fVio.rt I
Dr. Sody said that there was unlimit- [
ed opportunity for service in all the
countx-ies visited particularly in
France and Palestine. In France, he
said, some of the conditions found
were almost indescribable and ther*
is real opportunity there for real,
practical charitable help. In Palestine j
however, the conditions were found |
to be much worse, the majority of j
the people having been found to live j
in poverty and misery. In Palestine1
the problem will be largely one for
the government to solve, he said,
with the possibility that the Baptist j
denomination may greatly assist in |
orphanage work. In Italv the con- i
ditions were not found to be so bad
but there is opportunity in that country,
Dr. Cody said, for orphanage
work. In Egypt Dr. Cody said, there;
is nothing needed. Egypt, he said, is 1
wonderfully rich and is easily one of'
the most prosperous countries in the,
world.

COL. ROCHE AT HOME. 'S
E
g
Col. Patrick Roche says he is at H
. g
home, and desires us to say so m e
I?
these columns. ''The Press and Ban- g
ner must be the most read paper in |
the United States and South Ameri- |
ca," he said, when telling us that he |
came up town Saturday afternoon ||
only to collared by every white man |
?nd several colored ones, and forced |
to explain that he was nqt in Cuba, |
with his reasons for not going and ?
[5
all other circumstances connected g
with the enterprise, all of which took |
up so much time that he didn't get |
down to Hillbilly Headquarters in |
time to play even one game.
It r.!l happened because it was |
stated in these columns that Col. |
Roche had accompanied Col. W. A. |
Calvert and Col. Jim Gilliam on the G!
d
trip to the island, which we remem- e
ber to have heard described a good e
many yeai's ago as "a jewel racked f
by the waters of the silvery sea.' |
Col. koche had intended to go along |
n
with the other Colonels, but he |
thought the trip would cost about |
twenty-five dollars, he said. When he |
saw Col. Calvert count out a little E
ess than five hundred and Col. Gil- |
liam about the same amount, the (j
morning of their departure, he chang- c
ed his mind, not that he did not |
have the money, but he had not fin- |
ished paying the high taxes now lev- |
ied in this city and was owing the |
preacher a little balance. So he de- |
cided to stay behind and see these |
matters straightened out. He told us jj
Saturday night, however, when it got E
cold that he knew Cols. Calvert and e
Gilliam were having "pleasant sail- |
ing" down around Havana and he |
wouldn't mind if he were there.
The Colonel tells us that Jim Mc- |
Millan was to go on the trip too, but |
that Jim fell out at the last minute. |
B
He objected to sending his picture to |
Washington to have it compared with E
all the hunted criminals, I. W. W.'s, g
presidential candidates, democrats g
and other culprits now being looked ?
for, and as he could not get out of |
the United States and Florida in any ^
other way, he decided to stay at Dy- =
son and make bricks.
v
Col. Roche was on hand Tuesday a
to see his old friends Calvert and y
Gilliam off and to wish them a pleas- t
ant voyage and a very early return. c
He says that Col. Calvert was elected r
Treasurer of the expedition, the t
agreement being to make it a fifty- t
fifty affair all the way through; that f
Col. Calvert's money was to be spent j;
first, and when it was out, they were r
to know that the trip is half over; g
they would then stay as many days in v
Cuba as they had been there already, I
then commence the homeward jour- c
ney. As Colonel Gilliam did not ex- li
pect to use his money for some days d
yet he decided to make it safe, so w
he went down to the store of Ramey v
& Gilliam, where they have new
goods and low prices, and there secured
the services of Col. Lamar Gilliam
in sewing the money in his left
hand hip pocket so it would not be
lost before the time for using it ar- 11
rived. i "
Col. Roche is fully persuaded that "
the Mayor of Havana has not seen a.
more prominent pair of men in his
city in several years than his two
friends. His only disquietude on the p
expedition is caused by his fears that
hVio UTaiTnv tViinlf tV>oxr Tin/1 /?nmo
iown to buy up the ciyt and profiteer
on it and in order to get them i
>ut of any trouble on this score Col. Roche
tells us that he gave them a F
recommendation of which the following
is a copy:
Abbeville, S. C., Jan. 25, 1920.
Mayor of Havana, ~
Havana, Cuba,
Dear Mayor,?Should these two
gentlemen get arrested in your city
as profiteers, I will take it as a personal
favor if you will let them loose.
They do not mean any harm at all.
They are two rich old business men f
from this place who have worked
hard and made a good deal of money
and who desire to travel a little. If
you will show them where the fine 2
cigars and good eating are to be
found, with a little to wash it down, V
I think they will soon spend their
noney and come back home. Any
courtesies extended them will be appreciated
by
Your humble servant,
JT cll/i iv r\ ivuv.nc.
P. S.?If you want to send me any- thing
by these gentlemen it will be perfectly
safe to do so if you will L
seal it well and lock the seal.

vays some compensation m missing

leard, when he was talking to us
hat Col. Thomas Thomson had de
ided to see Mrs. Taggart at the Eu
eka at the first favorable oppor
unity, and arrange to have the Hill
(illies with him at a dinner at tha'
ine hotel, which continues to grow ii
mblic favor. "It would never do fo]
ne not to be here when Tommi<
:ives his dinner," the Colonel tolc
is, !'He would never get over it.'
Jut it would help me to stand the va
ation while partners Calvert and Gil
am are gone if some other kindlj
lisposed gentleman, or gentlemen
rould follow suit. "Never falter in
