tribute TO MOTHER
(Martha Ray Turner)
. tlme has brought us .once
t0 the day that is set aside to
" the most precious of all
,n ° cre ation, 1 pause in my hurry,
" si(U , my work and make an ef-
U * % show my gratitude and holy
5 t for those who gave me be-
' mother and dad. When I say-
mho,. | can’t help but say dad I
oi “old dad” is due holy respect
Tam wondering how I can ever re-

nineties, labors, toils, patience and
Live
T hnlk of the utter helplessness of
ie long years of infancy, of the en-
,o ilependence of childhood, of the
icessities and wants of youth, of
ie burning solicitude of parents
1( j their deep inexhaustible love;
hnk of the long years of unwearied
,11 of their deep and soul-felt de-
ition to the interest of their off-
ir ing, of the majesty and match
es power of their unselfish affec-
lons—and then say whether it is
ssible for youth to repay too much
;e and gratitude for all this be-
towal of parental anxiety.
A father may turn his back on his
iild, but a mother’s love endures
rough all. In the face of the
arid’s condemnation, a mother still
L , 9 n a nd still hopes that her child
ay turn from his evil ways and re
nt; still she remembers his infant
die, the merry laugh, the joyful
out of his childhood; and thinking
these, she never can be brought
think of him all unworthy.
And somehow my mind wanders
,ck to the story of Jesus on the
oss ar.d how in His hour of tor-
ent and suffering lie was deserted,
here were the disciples. Where
ere the multitude which had idol
ized Him? Gone! But there was one
whose fear of Roman soldiers and
Roman laiw could not keep away—
Hi5 mother. There is a lesson in that
w hich to me is one of the sweetest
in the Holy Writ.
You today who are fortunnto
enough to possess a mother, lift your
uncovered heads to heaven and with
a fervent cry thank the infinite God
above for your blessings. Riches
come ar.d go The friendship of
friends, come and then like the will
o’ the wisp on the marshes vanish
into oblivion. The love of swet-
hearts blooms like the flowers of
summer and dies like the leaves of
autumn. Even the unstinted love and
devotion of a wife sometimes wilts
under the cruel crucible of adversity
and domestic misunderstandings. But
the love of a mother is so great that
no power on earth can swerve it
from its course. From the time that
mother holds you in her arms and
long before your baby lips can frame
her name—the first word many of
us learn, until the grave draws the
curtain her love will transcend all.
She will stick to murderers, thieves,
drunkards and vagabonds—be they
her son.
So today give her ,one thought for
the countless things she has given
you and will continue to give you.
It has been said: “The purest al
tar from which human prayer ever
ascended into heaven was the altar
of mother’s knee.”
Mother, dear, my heart is filled
with joy anil thankfulness today be
cause I can wear a rtd rose for you.
I am thankful to my Father in heav
en that He has spared you to be
with us on another sacred Mother’s
Day
I love to look at my mother’s
hands. They are beautiful hands to

'V. E. DRANE DIES SUDDENLY
Willium E. Drar.e, who for four
teen years was principal of Columbus
Sixteenth Street school died suddenly
Wednesday morning at 8:30 o’clock
at his home, nine miles from Colum
bus on the Hamilton road.
Mr. Drane had bn in th flowr gar
den working among th flowers and
there was no ,one in the house but
cook, Allen Johnson, hearing some
thing fall on the porch, rnn to the
porch and found him dead.
He was born September 27, 1882,
being the son of the late William E
and Elizabeth Butt Drane, pioneer
Georgia citizens. He was a graduate
of the University of Georgia, class
of 1902, and had always been deeply
interested in the education of the
younger generation.
He was married to Miss Luella
Davis, of Meriwether county, in 1903.
He was a nephew of Mrs. O. C. Bul
lock and Mrs. E. B. Hornady, of Co
lumbus
Surviving him besides his wife
Mrs. Luella Drane, are two sons
Joseph Drane, of Tcnnille, Ga., and
Edgar Drane of Columbus; two
daughters, Miss Ruth Drane and
Mrs. J. K. Bceman of Columbus; four
sisters Mrs. Cecil Burt, of Amoricup
Mrs. E. R. Jordan, of Ellaville, Mrs
Love McMichael and Mrs. F. W.
Lowe, of Buena Vista and several
nieces and nephews,
and time and toil have left their
mark on those hands. Sometime
when all life’s lessons have been
learned and the sun of your life has
forever gone down, I know full well
those dear old hands will palms of
victory bear; where crystal streams
through endless years flow over gol
den sands and where the old grow
young again, and there you will meet
your Master and hear Him say, “She
worked—for here there’s rest.”
It was my mother who taught my
infant lips to pray. It was my moth
er who tanght me to read and love
God’s Holy Word It was my mother
who taught me to love and respect
and be glad when they would say,
“let’s go into the house of the Lord.’’
Mother, dear, I have lots for which
to thank you today. I am thankful
you taught me God’s word, and to
love His house of worship, and by
doing those things you have planted
in my soul seed that shall never die.

Third District Message
To the Carriers of the Third Con-
gresional District.
Dear Co-Worker:
Convention time is drawing near
again and we have already learned
through these columns that we are
to meet with the good carriers of
Montezuma. Let’s begin now to make
our plans to atttend, bringing along
our family and substitutes and make
it the best convention yet.
Mr. Thompson, our state president
has already sounded the gong fijr
our spring membership drive, so let
us get busy and see how many “red
neckties” we can carry to the state
convention in Atlanta this summer.
With the many problems facing our
association at this time, the need for
presenting a solid front perhaps is
greater than ever before. So let us
urge every carrier to come into the
asociation, thus giving us a renewed
strength and vigor. May we urge all
county workers to strive for 100 per
cent counties. The earlier we begin
to contact the carriers of our county
just so much earlier will we reach
our goal
We wish to thank each of you for
your spirit of co-operation in the
past, and solicit your continued sup
port for the good of our association
and the service we are striving each
day to improve. With best wishes to
each of you, we are,
Fraternally yours,
C. S. SAWYER, President,
Cuthbert, Ga.
M. U. EDWARDS,
District Secretary.
COMMENT: We are delighted to
give you this fine message from
these officers of the Third District
Association, and we know from past
experience that the carriers of this
district will heed the call of Brother
Sawyer and Brother Edwards, and
give their full co-operation in help
ing to maintain the high standard
that this district organization has
boasted in the past.
Your editor happens to be in the
group of counties that are entertain
ing the Third District Convention
this year, and mny we assure every
one that we are looking for you tobe
at Montezuma on May 30
Co-operate with Bro. Edwards by
paying your dues before that day if
possible, so that he won’t be swamp
ed with work while the rest of us
are enjoying the convention.

SEN. GEORGE TO SUPPORT
MOVE TO CUT TAX ON
GEORGIA TOBACCO GROWERS
Washington, May 6—Senator
Walter F. George Saturday notified
Wm. C .Vereen, of Moultrie, Ga.,
that he would support any bill look
ing to a reasonable reduction in “the
excessively high federal tax on to
bacco and’ toibacco products.” Mr.
Vereen hail forwarded to Senator
George a copy of a resolution adopt
ed by the tobacco growers of south
ern Georgia, protesting existing to
bacco taxes . . .
“Both the ways and mqans com
mittee of the house and the finance
committee of the senate, of which
latter 1 am a member,” said Senator
George, “have concluded that the to
bacco taxes should be given separate
study and consideration All tax bills
whether increasing or reducing taxes
must originate in the house. The to
bacco growers of Georgia are assured
that I will earnestly support any
bill looking to a reasonable reduction
in the excessively high federal tax
on tobacco and tobacco products.”
Senator George ■ explained, how
ever, that the needs of the govern
ment must be recognized and that he
did not think the tobacco tax could
be reduced without difficulty.
When first my eyes beheld the light
And I began this earthly fight;
T’wns mother’s love that came to me
And made me know what I must

Twas mother's touch that first I
felt,
When upon my cheek a kiss waa
left;
Then drew me closer to her breast
And thanked her God that she was
blessed.
Twas wother’s care that thought of
me
When in need I chanced to ibe;
With loving hands that never
grew tired,
She toiled from morn ’till even tide

’Twas mother’s prayers that brought
me back
From sin and woe, and ruin and
shame,
She often knelt alone and prayed
In Jesus’ Holy Name.
’Twas mother’s faith that God per
ceived,
And saved my soul when 1 believed
Ar.d then began my life anew,
And pledged to God that 1 would
be true.
The memories of what 'mother did,
Have been to me a constant aid;
Whatever my life may chance to be
My mother will always be dear to

When we meet on yonder shore,
To dwell together forevermore;
We’ll share our joy without pain or
woe,
As onward thru eternity we ga
