IF WE ONLY UNK
Could we but draw back the curtains
That surround each other’s lives,
See the naked heart and spirit
Know what spur the action gives;
Often we should find it better,.
Purer than we judge we should;
We should love each other better,
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the Earner
• All the while we loathe the sin;
Could we know the powers working
To overthrow integrity,
We should love each other’s errors
With more patient charity.
,If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain—-
Would the grim eternal roughness
Seem—I wonder—just tue same?
Should we help where now we hinder,
Should we pity where now we
blame ?
Ah, we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life’s hidden force;
Knowing not the fount of acnon
Is less turbid at its source—
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grain of good;
We should love each other better
If we only understood.

A cordial welcome was extended
here this week to Hon. Gilbert Fin
cher, who is making an active can
vas of. the circuit as a candidate for
Solicitor-General of the Chattahoo
chee Circuit. Col. Fincher was for
many years Court Reporter for the
Chattahoochee Circuit, and in such
capacity, as well as personal attain
ments, has won for himself hosts of
warm friends throughout the coun
ty-
Butler feels honored, as are the
young ladies themselves, in the re
cent election of Misses Miriam Si-
ley and Margaret Benns as Presi
dents of the Y. W. C. A. and the
W. C. ,T. U, respectively, at An
drew College, Cuthbert, for their
senior year 1924-25. Both have
made most creditable records "in all
their studies the past year, and are
very popular among the student
body.
Hon. James B. Hoyl, of Columbus,
who has announced his intention of
becoming a candidate for solicitor-
general of the Chattahoochee judi
cial circuit, was a prominent But
ler visitor this week attending court
and circulating among friends and
acquaintances, and made a most
favorable impression upon our peo
ple. He is one of the ablest lawyers
of Columbus where he has estab
lished an extensive practice of law.
One of the most pleasant ancr
familiar faces' among the attendance
at court this week is that ol our
former able and greatly admired
Solicitor-General, Hon C. Frank Mc
Laughlin, who is now an aspirant to
the bench to succeed the present in
cumbent in office, Judge Geo. P.
Munro, who will also be a candi
date to succeed himself. Col. Mc
Laughlin’s success while in office ana
out has demonstrated his unusual
ability and particular fitness' for
Judgeship. Here as well as through
out the circuit Col. McLaughlin has
endeared himself to the people many
of whom will extend to him their
loyal support at the polls on Sep
tember lith next.
It will be of interest to his many
friends in Taylor county to know
that Judge Munro has authorized
the announcement that he will be a
candidate to succeed himself as
Judge of the Superior Courts of the
Chattahoochee Circuit which posi
tion he has filled with marked abili
ty for several years. His established
record for dispatching business of
the court and exceptionally few re
versals is cited a further evidence of
his legal and executive.ability. His
record as judge of this circuit not
only appeals to his many true and
loyal friends in the county, but his
social and warm-hearted disposition,
his genial nature has knitted these
ties into still closer union in Taylor
county.

Perryman, of Tali
B, while in attendance upon the
court on legal business, this week was
shaking hands with his many warm
supporters in his race for solicitor
general of- the Chattahoochee Cir
cuit: Mr. Perryman is a life-long
citizen of Talbotton, the son of Col.
Perryman, an able lawyer; of Tai-
botton, who was noted for his abili
ty as an attorney, his honesty of
purpose and integrity in all his re
lationships as citizen and lawyer. In
death he left a good name as an in
heritance to -Jones Perryman, and
winch good, name has been kept un
tarnished as is evidenced by the citi
zens of Talbot county honoring him
as their -representative for more
than one term in legislature, and as
such representative is chairman of
gome of the most important com
mittees in that legislative branch.
Mr. Perryman’s legal ability is the
equal of any, his honesty ana in
tegrity stand' unquestioned, and
such, he is pressing his claim for
solicitor geiieral of this circuit.
Having resumed my ice business
for the - spring and summer season

That Capt. Walker R. Flournoy is
establishing a fine record as Solici
tor-General of the Chattahoochee
Circuit is evidenced by the high es
teem and courteous manner with
which he is regarded by the court
and every member of the local bar.
The attention he is giving to the of
fice and, the able manner in which he
represents the interest of the State
in all matters brought to his atten
tion is sincerely appreciated. Capt.
Flournoy .was appointed, by Govern
or Hardwick to succeed Col. C. F.
McLaughlin who resigned as solici
tor-general about two years ago,
which appointment was very accept-:
able throughout the circuit, and his
host of friends will no doubt pay
him the deserving compliment of
electing him for the next Incoming
term since it is his intention to be a
candidate for the office in the Sep
tember primary. As an officer in the
recent war he made an enviable rec
ord and his rise was rapid and
permanent. In private life he is
honest to the core and an upstand
ing citizen, always looking on the
bright side of things and enjoying
hmself as much as any man of like
disposition.

WILD PLUM BUSHES AGAIN
For a number of years as the
peach season draws near the Gov
ernment and State Laboratory at
Fort Valley, Ga., bars issued a warn
ing in regard to the cutting of wild
plum trees in the vicinity of com
mercial peach orchards.Man/ bushes
have been removed from the Peach
Belt during these campaigns; buc a
recent tour of inspection revealed
the fact that new bushes have
sprouted from the ■ roots of those
previously cut down, and these to
gether with those which-have not
heretofore been destroyed may prove
a serious menace to the 1924 peach
crop.
Wild plum thickets and bushes
frequently furnish 'commercial peach
orchards with sources for three ' of
our most serious peach pests. They
furnish food ' and breeding quarters
for the peach “worms” or 'curculio,
breeding quarters for the San Jose
scale, and are sources for the dis
semination of the bown-rot disease.
The establishment of these pests in
orchards of the Georgia Peach Belt
can often he traced to nearby plum
bushes, where unmolested - pest
breeding conditions have been furn
ished.
' The wild plum is now in full
bloom, and can be easily located.
The Laboratory strongly urges each
grower to see that these bushes are
grubbed out immediately. The axe
should not be used for this work as
sprouts from the roots will have to
be reckoned with again next year.
Use the grubbing hoe. This warning
should prompt every grower to take
immediate action in this matter, and
it is- Ms duty to do so in order to
safeguard himself and Ms neigh
bor. !
DEATH OF MRS. CORA S.
CARTER, OF BLUFFTON, GA.
On the evening of April. 2nd, af
ter a lingering illness, Mrs. Cora
Singleton Carter, passed- from our
midst, in the golden fruitage of a
useful life. She was the eldest dau
ghter of the late Dr. F. P. Single-
ton, who- was for many years a
prominent physician of Taylor coun
ty, and a sister of the lamented Dr.
Oscar Singleton, of Fort Valley,
jj She was*a Christian by birth ana
training—,and' developed into lovely
young 'womanhood, the ideal of her
home, and the admired of many lov
ing friends. Her life was,, measured
by beautiful deeds, and a self-sac
rificing spirit, which was indeed
complete in the circle of her well
rounded years.
She wasxa graduate of Andrew
College, gentle, refined, and cultured
possessing an unusually strong
force of character. She taught for
a number of years, and many are
the youths and maidens who now
come to bless her memory in loving
tributes.
In the Summer of 1917, she was
happily married-to Dr. George Car
ter, a successful physician, of Blufi-
ton, Ga., and while she was only
spared to bless Ms home for a short
time, yet her presence was ever
dispensing sweetness, wherever =ha
went, and was benign m .its last
ing influence. She leaves besides her
devoted husband and several step
children, four sisters to mourn their
irreparable loss; Mrs. J. E, Mans
field, of Bluifton, Ga.; Mrs. Lola
Cartledge, of Atlanta; Mrs, W. C.
Pompelly, of Macon; and MisS Bes
sie Singleton, of Monroe, Also two
half brothers Col. A. L. Singleton,
of Washington, D. C. and Mr. Ira
Singleton.
May these, her loved ones all be
comforted -with the thought, that
whom the Lord loveth He chasten-
eth, and though our pathway be
clouded in darkness; yet we know
our Guide, and trusting Him, we
will some day be led out of dark
ness, into the light when there is a
surcease to all qpr troubles, where
the weary are at rest foreevermorc.
Written by one who loved her.
