SHEPARD With the launching of the “League ; Women Voters” on Friday after- | noon the future political problems of . Peach county should not keep any one awake nights. When the women of this community get interested ifr a thing they have a habit of hanging on till they learn everything about thing. Give them a year in poli¬ tics and we guarantee they will rec¬ ognize a candidate two blocks away. It is nothing new for the women of this section to assume public respon- j sibility; they have for years been ac- j tive in civics and public welfare; they, were enthusiastic participants in 1 the campaign for the new county, to-! j They are accustomed to working gether in clubs ami in religious and charitable organizations. They have proved conclusively that it is possible to be a voice in pub¬ lic affairs and still find time for neighborly visits, caring for children and giving of themselves and their time wherever needed. V'ou wi’l also find a number of good cooks among them. It will not be surprising if this. new county should be one of the best organized in the state and among those reporting the largest proper- ] tion. As there is a consideration of incentive immediate ] to be the to ac tion as there is a consideration of, two hundred dollars cash and a sil Let hope that it will not ^ ver vase. us become the a of “No county man’s in land,” New Yqrk, as in j case a where the women were such enthusi-, astic politicians. But to get back to the business of Friday. Mrs. W. J. Braswell | was the charming wielder of the im aginary gavel, introducing Judge C.

All members of the Executive Committee of the Peach Blos¬ som Festival Association are urged to be present promptly at two o’clock Friday afternoon for a meeting in General Chairman C. L. Shepard’s offices in the Woolfolk building. With plans well developed, siasm among all of the people Peach county at a high pitch, tentative dates for the Fourth al Peach Blossom Festival, to he two-day event this year, set at day and Friday, March 19th and reservations for seats already pouring In, showing that at least seating capacity for the first day have been sold out by March 1st, not before. The Lions Club of M, before which General Chairman C. L. Shepard spoke Tuesday, has served a block of 120 seats and the Kiwanis Club of that city has asked for a reservation of 150 seats. Chair¬ man Shepard is spending Thursday in Atlanta to speak before some of the leading civic clubs and doubtless upon his return will reveal other large reservations. He states that al¬ ready the 1925 Festival has command¬ ed more attention throughoht the country, in newspaper and radio licity and along other lines, than the 1924 Festival had received up to March 1st. It must be born in mind that the dates chosen are subject to change according to the time of the full hlooming of peach orchards. Miss Oak Comes Feb. -t Miss Pauline Oak, who has shown her fine talent in directing the Fes¬ tival pageants, will be director again this year, and will arrive next M ed nesday, February 4th with elabof-’to improvements in pageant plans.

Arranging for Ticket Sales J. E. Lee and J. B. Vance are joint' chairmen of the Committee on Tick¬ ets and are whipping arrangements into shape to begin sales of tickets within a few days. Home people will be given an opportunity at once L» buy reservations, and it is evident; ’hat they will need to take quick ad¬ vantage of this opportunity if they expect to have seats to send to rela¬ tives and friends and for the use of their families. Not a “Carnival” At the first meeting of \ .-,e Execu¬ tive Committee last Fr i., Ralph , Newton’s motion that tin use of the word, “carnival," be frowner upon in connection with such a refined, artis¬ tic event as the Peach Blossom Festi¬ val, was adopted by a unanimous and already has had a far-reaching effect through the press of the country. It is a common agreement thai nothing V of a carnival nature shall be connect¬ ed with the Festival. On the other hand, Dr. H. M. Copeland and J. D. Kendrick, joint chairmen of the En¬ tertainment Committee, are develop¬ ing substantial arrangements for some of the most elaborate and spec¬ tacular innovations of dignified, ar¬ tistic proportions, ever conceived for a festival affair. These features, with the surpassing charm of the pageant, are calculated to excite the wonder and admiration of the many thou sands of people from all parts America who attend the Festival, Such a program will exclude the ordi nary “oratory” features. The railroads are planning at least three times as many special trains, at special rates, to take care ‘of the ■ great floods of people who are com ing, according to the present outlook, Thorough plans are being made for feeding the thousands of visitors an( j affording every necessary corri f or t.
