The Child's Welfare League of the
Cherokee Circuit, an organization for
the purpose of giving the child of crim
inal .parents or the one surrounded by
a vicious atmosphere, a chance to make
good in th6 world, was formed atj an
enthusiastic meeting attended; Sunday
afternoon, by a crowd which filled every
available seat in the main court room
at the court house here.
The organization started with’-a char
ter membership of, in round numbers,
100, and its growth is expected to be
rapid. At the meeting, it was decided
to hold similar meetings in Carters-
ville, Calhoun, Chatsworth, Binggold
and Trenton, the county seats of the
other five counties of the Cherokee ju
dicial circuit, and see that the entire
circuit is thoroughly organized for the
great work proposed.
Those sponsoring the meeting iwere
agreeably surprised at the genuine en
thusiasm as evidenced by the large
crowd at the court house, and are eon-
dent now that the organization will do
a real work in future.
Judge M. C. Tarver called the meet
ing to order and outlined the purposes,
showing where the great work could be
done by the organization before the
children were old. enough to be haled
before the courts. A striking example
of what can be -done rwas the presence
of the drum and bugle corps from the
Georgia Industrial^ Home of Macon,,|
whieh organization furnished the ntusi-
al program for the meeting. In this
home, there are 90 children, six of whom
are from Whitfield county.
The idea advanced by Judge Tarver
was that the organization, eould take in
hand the child before he was started
on a criminal career, and direct his en
ergies into channels of usefulness, mak
ing himself an asset to the community
rather than a liability.
After,-Judge Tarver’s clear-cut state
ment of the purpose of the meeting, a
temporary organization was formed by
the election of Frank Manly as tem
porary chairman and John S. Thomas
as temporary secretary.
Dr. F. K. Sims then offered • a con
stitution as had been drafted prior to
the meeting, and the constitution was
formally adopted without changes, be
ing as follows:
CONSTITUTION
CHILD’S WELFARE LEAGUE,
CHEROKEE CIRCUIT.
Article 1. This organization shall be
known as the Child's Welfare League,
of the Cherokee Circuit. Any man,
woman or child living in the circuit
shall be eligible to membership.
Article 2. The object of the organ
ization shall be to call to the attention
of the ordinaries of the various coun
ties of the circuit, or the judge of the
superior courts, children between the
ages of four and fourteen who are be
ing reared among immoral, vicious or
criminal surroundings, of criminal par
entage, or with criminal associates; to
secure the commitment of such children
to the Georgia Industrial Home, or such
other institution as may work in har
mony with the league herein; to finance
the expense of such commitment and
make reasonable contribution to the ex
pense of caring "for such children; to
secure the co-operation of the county
boards of roads and revenues of the va
rious counties of the circuit, to the end
that they may make the contribution
authorized by law for the maintenance
of each such child, and to in all other
possible ways interest itself in the work
of caring for neglected childhood.
Article 3. Eaeh member of the league,
whenever a case requiring action comes
within his knowledge, shall report such
case to the secretary of the league;
Who shall immediately make proper in
vestigation, and, if after such investi
gation, he shall determine that the child
is one which, under the laws of the
state, may be committed to such an in

Perfect Organization Here
The Whitfield County Farm Bureau
has a membership of 113, as a result
of the canvass made by organizers last
week, and additional members are ex
pected.
The people showed a desire to join
in numbers in those communities where
the community bureaus have been main
tained, and the work is expected to
spread into every section of the county,
with substantial increases in member
ship.
The Citizen last week printed the
names of twenty-eight who had enroll

As stated in The Citizen last iweek,
■the farm bureau is an organization that
works for the farmer in the marketing
of crops, the building of better roads,
better methods of transportation, edu
cation of the children, and all other
matters of genuine importance to the
farmer.
The membership fee is $5 per annum,
after the first year, the first year’s fee
being $7. One-half of the money col
lected remains in the local organization,
the remainder going to the great -work
the national and state organizations are
doing.
It is hoped'to build up a farm bureau
of hundreds of enthusiastic members in
this country, and the start, as made
'ast week, is an excellent one.
Meeting to Organize.
Mr. C. O. Smith, county farm agent,
has issued the following call for a
meeting to perfect the organization:
“A meeting will be held at the court
house Tuesday, November 16, at 2
o’clock. At this meeting the organiza
tion will be perfected, electing county,
chairman, secretary and treasurer, and
taking up other matters of importance.
“Every paid-in membership -will be
allowed a vote in the election of offi
cers. If you have not joined, be on
hand and join then, and take part in
helping to make the meeting a success.
“Everybody cordially invited.’’
Card from Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith has issued the following
relative to the membership campaign
of the Farm Bureau.
“After not having anything in your
paper for a few weeks except some im
portant notic.es, I would like the priv
ilege of. discussing things of importance
to the farmers and those interested in
the farmers.
“When the farmers of our county
were planning the crops for this year,
cotton was bringing a high price, so the
bulk of the uplands was planted to
cotton, leaving but small patches to be
planted in other things, and then it
rained and rained till most of the time
the farmers could get in- the fields was
spent planting and-cultivating the cot
ton crops, so the fall of the year finds
us with about one-half crop of cotton
with the price at less than half what
it was at planting time.
“The land that was planted to soy
beans has made a most wonderful crop
which will help ont; hut the com crop in
