Alford’s Bridge over the Savannah
river is a great convenience to the
hundreds who pass over daily. Some
complain of the cost, but it isn’t so
much more than the ferry and think
of time lost now if one had to wait
on a ferry to carry you across. With
the great throng which goes to Florida
from the North and to the North
from the South, it would be impos
sible to ferry them over. Mr. Alford
saw this need and spent a large sum
to accomodate the people. Every
convenience costs money today. In
all probability the price will be de
creased when Mr. Alford sees best
to do so. We can’t deny the fact of
the good the brige is doing.—Royston

ARBOR DAY ATTENDED
BY LARGE CROWD AT
CAMPGROUND FEB. 27
One of the most interesting oc
casions that has ever taken place at
the well-known Hartwell Camp
ground, three miles west of this city,
was the “Agbor Day” program on last
Thursday, when a large number of
people from all over the Elberton
District gathered to witness the ex
ercises.
Hon. George M. Napier, Attorney-
General of Georgia, was the princi
pal speaker of the day, and delivered
a message that held the attention of
his hearers from beginning to end.
Col. Napier is an able orator and
with his keen mind and ready flow
of interesting thought gave the Sun
day school workers and church peo
ple of the District a message that
was truly worthwhile.
Speaking along the line suggested
by the planting of trees, he applied
the adage "As the twig is bent so is
the tree inclined,” to that of the
rearing of our children under the
influences of the Sunday school and
church. He stressed the importance
of early training, whereby the boys
and girls, like the trees, might grow
up into straight and stalward Chris
tian characters.
His presence and splendid address
added much to the day’s interesting
exercise.
Mrs. Hemming, of the Sunday
school office in Atlanta, was also
present and made a few remarks, in
which she expressed her delight at
being present on such an occasion,
and bringing a message of regret
from Rev. Homer Thompson, head of
the Sunday school work, who could
not be present on account of receiv
ing a call the day previous to go to
Cuba as a special representative of
the general S. S. Board in Nashville.
He is engaged in making a survey of
the islands for the church.
Many School* Represented
Among the Sunday schools of the
District represented were Commerce,
Elberton, Bowman, Lavonia, Hart
well, Liberty Hill, Cokesbury, Jones
Chapel, Danielsville, Confidence,
Concord. Stinchcomb, Sunshine, Roy
ston, and others.
All these selected trees and plant
ed at the root of the tree a sealed
bottle containing a brief history of
the church and Sunday school. Others
in the District will adopt trees and
follow out this idea.
Under one tree was placed a large
jar containing a history of the El
berton District Standard Training
School for the five years of its
existence, and the names of all who
have taken courses. This was a very
impressive ceremony, and was per
formed by t hree Danielsville young
people, who have attended the school
for several years.
A number of trees were registered
in memory of some loved one, there
being in all nearly 70 crepe myrtle
and pecan trees set out.
“Dinner On Ground”
A sumptuous dinner served the
arge crowd, and also proved an in
teresting and enjoyable part of the
program.
Smith Pre»ided
Presiding Elder Horace S. Smith,
of Elberton, presided during the pro
gram, and was ably assisted in the .
many arrangements by pastor J. H. .
Barton, of Hartwell, Miss Emma Kay,
chairman of the “Arbor Day" event, ,
the caretaker, Mr. Bowen, and many
others.
The day was set at the Campmeet- :
ing and Training School in the sum
mer of 1924 and much interest had
been manifested since all over the
district.
Getting Ready For 1925
The Trustees of Hartwell Camp- ■
ground are already making pre- ■
parations for the 1925 Campmeeting
and Standard Training School, and
indications point to a great meeting
the last week in July. They are

Farmer*’ “Co-op” Act Upheld
(Atlanta Journal)
The decision of the Supreme Court
of Georgia upholding the Legisla
ture’s enabling act under which co
operative marxeting associations or
ganized under the Sapiro plan are
functioning in this State, was pro
bably no surprise to close students
of the issue. The Sapiro plan has
withstood every attack on it legality.
Co-operative marketing as a prin
ciple is centuries old, and there have
been many developments of its pool
selling idea in the South during the
last fifty years. But the Sapiro plan
itself, which has exponents in Geor
gia in the co-operative cotton market
ing association, the peanut associa
tion, the cane growers’ association
and others, is comparatively new. It
differs from previous co-operative
associations in that those who join
obligate themselves by contract to
deliver to their association all that
they produce of the particular pro
duct during a term of years specified.
This contract provides that failure
of the member to deliver all of his
product during the term renders him
liable to damages at a stated rate,
based on the amount of the product
withheld, these damages going to
satisfy the injury to his fellow mem
bers in consequence of the violation
of his contract with them.
Such is the essence of the Sapiro
plan, as construed by the courts. It
gives to the association that which
was previously lacking—substance,
stableness and durability. Thus an
association formed on the Sapiro plan
is a permanent business enterprise,
not a loose society which may wake
up any day to find itself without sus
taining members, without stock in
trade and without assets. The fact
that with such a contract it
is a permanent enterprise pro
tects the members who act in
good fait, give it a basis for
business dealing with the consuming
public, and a basis for credit on rea
sonable terms, which is certainly to
the interest of Georgia farmers.
