ELECTIONS.
j “There is nothing the matter with
Georgia, the greatest state in the na
tion,” Judge Ogden Persons, of For
syth, told the Exchange Club at its
weekly meeting today.
_ “This state is blessed with rich
resources, wonderful climate, scen
ic beauty, and opportunity. The
destiny of Georgia rests with her
people and if each ditizen will search
his or her heart and weed out those
things that are holding back the
progress of our state, then we’ll soon
reach the mountain top of progress,”

he continued.
Judge Persons, presiding judge of
the Flint Circuit, was the second
speaker of the month to address The
Exchange Club on the question,
“What’s Wrong With Georgia?”
Judge Persons urged that all Geor
gians “put a higher value on the
ballot” and that every eligible per
son register and vote. He plead for
increased respect of law and order
and suggested that everyone “search
his own heart and see if he is in any
way contributing to disregard for law
and order in his pommunity.”
He advocated purifying the politi
cal system of the state by “elim
inating selfishness and meanness.”
Pointing to Georgia as a state that
“could produce everything but rub
ber, tea and coffee,” Judge Persons
said that Georgia and other south
eastern states had “made New Eng
land, England, Japan and othdr tex
tile communities rich.” He called
attention to the rising industrial ac
tivities in Georgia and cited figures
showing that the industrial income
ir. Georgia was twice as large as the
agricultural income. He urged that
both industry and agriculture be
encouraged in eveij possible way.
In discussing the resources of
Georgia, Judge Persons said that
“this section of Georgia, where Grif
fin and Forsyth are located, is the
most favorable located part of the
state.” He urged citizens of this
section to take a lead in the march
| back to better days in Georgia.
The Forsyth jurist summed up
, his address by quoting from the Old
j Testament, “Love mercy; Deal just
ly; Walk upright with thy God,” and
added “Then your life will match the
great resources and possibilities of
•this great state of ours.”—Griffin

W. C. T. U. MEETING.
The Woman’s Christian Temper
ance Union was delightfully enter
tained by Mrs. J. E. Woods Friday
afternoon of last week is regular ses
sion, when a good program was ren
dered by Mrs. Eva Mae Smith and
Miss Annie Lou McCord, chairmen
of the program committee, assisted
by Mrs. R. P. Etheridge and Mrs.
G. D. Head.
A fine devotional was given by
Miss McCord in which she emphasiz
ed the importance of spiritual guid
ance in the distressing conditions of
aay, and our individual
responsibilities as related to our
young people who are facing great
er temptations to drink than formerly
since the enforcement is so lax. She
concluded her devotional with an ap
propriate poem and prayer. Mrs.
Etheridge read part of an address
of Miss Bertha Palmer, national W.
C. T. U. director of Scientific Tem
per Research, delivered at the Na
tional Education Association meet
ing which stresses the deteriorating
effect of diink on the human race
..nd its individual destructive effects
on the human body, and was well re
ceived by those educators and said
1 that was just what they needed. The
: W. C. T. U. is still majoring in its
i activities with the youth against the
! use of alcohol in any form,
j A high standard of living was sug
| gested in the fine piece read by Mrs.
; Head on “Ideailsm —the Need of the
Hour,” by Mr. J. Elmer Morgan, edi
tor of the National Educational As
sociation Journal. In another article
he stated that “The cause of absti
nence is getting ready for a great
new growth.” People are beginning
to see what liquor drinking means.
Just now the liquor tide is running
strong. Those people who shift
about with every changing fad are
easy victims to this new form of
commercial exploration. But there
is another group of young men
and women who have too much
self-respect to fall victims to such a
destructive and wasteful habit. They
will keep themselves clean and strong
and out of their courage and strength
and independence will c ome the
leadership of tomorrow.” Mrs.
Smith gave important information,
culled from our national organiza
tion, ‘‘The Union Signal” she quoted
from the Washington letter by our
paid representative in congress in
regard to repeal bills and told of
the terrible increase in drinking in
I
our capital duirng the short time
since repeal of the 17 year prohibi
tion law.
Just for the sake of revenue all
limitations on imported liquors of all
kinds will be removed from May Ist
to June Ist, thus giving a change to
flood our country with the big sup
plies of ready and anxious dealers.
This order given by our chief execu
tive is very deplorable.
Repeal of prohibition should nev
er have been a part of the relief pro
gram. “Carry On” was an enjoyable
solo by Mrs. R. F. Sasnett. Reports of
the recent 4th district conference
held in Griffin by attending delega
tes were given. After a short busi
ness session a social time was enjoy
ed when Mrs. Woods assisted by her
sister, Mrs. Nellie Hamilton, served
brick cream and cake.
