Southern Baptist work together through a cooperative program or convention to support missionaries and to fund other programs. "General Baptist" usually support missionaries directly and do no cooperate with other churches to fund programs. The basic doctrine is the same. All baptist believe in full immersion baptism, eternal security of the believer, etc. Southern Baptist usually observe 2 ordinances (Baptism and the Lord's Supper/ Communion), some other baptist observe 3...these 2 and a foot washing ceremony.
The only difference would be that the foot-washers believe in a third ordinance. Traditional Baptists believe in only two ordinances: a one time baptism after salvation and the periodic observance of the Lord's Supper, also known as Communion.

Miss Maudie means that Boo Radley's family is very religious and follows the strict customs of the Baptist faith, hence the term "foot-washing Baptist," which is a metaphor for someone who follows religious rituals with great devotion. This description implies that Boo's family is very traditional and conservative in their beliefs and practices.

Manual washing means washing by hand. Washing machines are not included in manual washing.
They say her flowers and her are going to Hell, because she spends too much time outside. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- They are disgusted at the fact that Miss Maudie does not act in the way a Foot washing baptist lady should -- their image is of her wearing a dress, indoors, reading the bible. Instead, Miss Maudie wears overalls and goes outdoors to grow flowers. Therefore, they remark quite rudely that she and her flowers are "going to Hell". One particular footwashing baptist went so far as to imply to Miss Maudie that she was being very vain by utilizing God's outdoors so much and spending so little time reading the bible that she would, after death, "departeth in darkness" or "go to Hell". When Miss Maudie cleverly gave another part of the scripture to rebuke this comment ("A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance") the woman was shocked that Miss Maudie knew so much of the scripture, and had also embarassed her by implying that her heart was dark, so she departed in haste. The footwashing baptists underestimate Miss Maudie's command of the scripture because of the image she showcases to them, and Miss Maudie too knows that she will never be able to change the ways they interpret the bible- literally, which she believes is wrong, so she remains ostricized from their community and they both have equal disapproval for each other.
