IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF
MRS. J. E. McELHANNON
When the sweet spirit of Mrs. J.
E. McElhannon entered the realms
eternal May 18, 1927, the Jefferson
Chapter of the Daughters of the
Confederacy lost one of its noblost
and best members, and heaven re
ceived one “whose price was far
above rubies.”
Would that we might embark in
the ship of memory and sail the river
of time back to the land of “use-to
be,” to the days when Mary Lee Ma
haffey McElhannon, a loyal daughter
of the Confederacy, and a faithful |
member of the U. D. C., brightened
our chapter with her cheerful pres
ence. |
She has been taken from us in
the midst of her usefulness, and now
that the scenes of life have forever
closed upon her, we desire to ex
press the sentiments of affectionate
regard, which association in the work
has inspired in us. Her sunny dis
position sheds its beams around, and
when she spoke her words dropped
as silently as serenest snow, making
brightness as they fell.
She left the stamp of her noble
nature on our organization, and she
will ever live in oUr hearts as the
embodiment of all that was pure,
noble and true. Faithfulness was
her watchword, and loyalty and de
votion the lamps that guided her
feet. Her home life was ideal, and
her public life grand and inspiring.
Though gone from us, we will al
ways cherish her memory. Gladden-
ed by the affection of her friends,
sustained by her steadfast faith
through our Lord in the hope of a
glorious resurrection, she has enter
ed the life beyond, and to her was
given the fruition of the promise,
“At eventide, it shall be light.”
When such a woman is taken from
us, the whole of life seems to stand
still. We wait some awful catastro
phe in physical nature to parallel
our bereavement, forgetting at the
moment that when ends her gracious
task of teaching us the beautiful
ways of simplicity, loyalty and good
ness, she lihgers no longer here, but
departs to that better land, to grow
in still sweeter grace and perfection
nearer Him, the source, inspiration
and example of her life and love.
Laid in her casket folds of pure
white draperies, her friends remark
ed, “In this bower of beautiful
flowers, with devoted friends pay
ing tribute, she was lovelier than
ever before.”
To the grief stricken loved ones,
whose joy has become sorrow, and
whose roses seem but ashes, in this
their hour of darkness, we extend j
the hand of sympathy, mingle our
lamentations with theirs, and with ,
them look to another time and place, |
where we shall meet and jrreet our
beloved friends and where the
smile of God shall kiss away our bit-'
ter, blinding tears.
Sweet friend, beloved co-worker,'
we bid not tfood-bye, but with
chastened spirit we devoutly pray,
“God be with us till we meet
in the Sun-bright Clime.
There are myriad souls with crowns
of light,
And garments of beauty clear and
brijrht,
They dwell in their immortal bowers,
Mid changeless hues of fadeless flow
ers,
Where amid all things that are fair
is given,
The home of the Just, and its name
is Heaven,
The name of that Sun-bright Clime.
We offer this tribute of love,
friendship and appreciation to the
memory of Mary Lee Mahaffey Mc-
Eihannon, of Jefferson.
Jefferson Chapter, U. D. C.
GOOD EXAMPLES
Every day now sees new cars on
our streets and highways. Not ev
every 'one but a great many of them
are operated by new drivers, men or
women or boys or girls just learning
to drive. This means the experienc
ed driver will have to exert a little
more precaution. But that is easy.
And it ought also be easy to remem
ber that these new drivers are going
to follow the example of those who
already know how to operate a car;
they are going to do what they see
the experienced driver doing. Here
is the chance to get them started
right by setting them good examples.
Use the hand signals •on all oc
casions; be courteous to others on
the road; be patient and give the
other fellow the benefit of the doubt.
All of which will be copied by the
new drivers—they learn by imitating
others. You’ll get your reward
through having helped to clear the
highways of careless and reckless
and inconsiderate drivers. And that
in itself is an abundant reward.—
-Exchange.
BARROW COUNTY SINGERS
AND THEIR FRIENDS HONOR
PROF. JUDSON L. MOORE
Winder, Ga.—The annual memor
ial song service in honor of Prof.
Judson L. Moore, of Bethlehem, was
held in the school auditorium on
Sunday afternoon, May 15th.
Mr. R. W. Haynie, president of
the organization that promotes these
memorial services, presided at the
meeting. Editor E. A. Caldwell, of
Monroe, was present and delivered
the invocation. Muller MeElroy, H.
E. Haynie, J. P. Day and J. H.
Wheeler were each called on in turn
to lead special songs of their own se
lection. These were followed by W.
M. Holsenbeek, secretary of the or
ganization, who made a brief ad
dress, paying tribute to Prof. Moore, I
and closed hi.-: remarks by introduc
ing Judge Richard B. Russell, a life
long friend of Prof. Moore, who also
paid him tribute.
Following Judge Russell, Editor
I Caldwell made an announcement
concerning the Walton County Co-op
erative Singing Convention at Mt.
| Vernon the sth Sunday and paid
tribute to Mr. Moore.
I W. F. Hall was then called upon
to lead special songs, and was fol
lowed by an address by Judge G. A.
Johns, who was a pupil of Prof.
Moore at Social Circle several years
ago.
Prof. Moore was then called upon
and made a splendid address. He
' thanked all those who had any part
in making-the program a success and
I expressed deep gratitude for the spir
,it that is behind the services each
' year.
W. A. Brewer, W. D. Wall and C.
Bryant then led in special songs,
followed by a special quartet by the
Barrow County Singing Choir and a
solo by Ralph Richardson, of Atlanta.
The services were closed by a spe
cial song, “Where We Never Grow
Old,” led by* Prof. Moore, and the
benediction by Judge Russell.
The music for the services was
rendered by Mrs. J. L. Moore, wife
jof Prof. Moore, and Mrs. Clifford
! Pruitt at the piano, accompanied by
i Ralph Richardson on the saxophone,
| and Prof. W. E. Cooper, musical di
rector for the schools of Barrow
county, on the violin.
The auditorium was filled to ca
pacity by an audience that showed
their appreciation of Prof. Moore
and the memorial song service held
in his honor.'
“GOT TO STOP HAVING DEBTS”
The old man had attended a G.
A. R. reunion, and was now on his
way to see his “Brother John” down
in Maine. In the course of a Pull
man conversation it developed that
years before the G. A. R. veteran
had left Brother John at home with
the family farm of 40 acres and had
himself gone to South Dakota.
A couple of weeks later I was sur
prised to find that the old man and
I were again travel companions. In
reply to my inquiry as to how his
brother John was doing he gave me
the following account of his visit.
“On Sunday Brother John and I
walked over the farm. He had an
acre of onions, a couple of acres of
[sweet corn, a strawberry patch, a
patch of blackberries and one of
raspberries, a few fruit trees, three
'or four pigs, and about the same
number of cows, and several horses,
j And I asked Brother John how in the
world he got enough off that farm
jto pay his debts. ‘Debts!’ he replied,
j‘l don’t have any!’ ”
And the old man added this il
luminating thought: “Out in South
Dakota I’ve got a farm of 3,000
acres. We don’t raise much but
wheat—and it’s going to take nearly
the whole crop to pay the debts I’ve
already contracted. We’ve got to
do in South Dakota just what my
Brother John is doing—we've got to
stop having debt!’’—Type Metal
Magazine.
ABOUT HARD TIMES
A visitor coming from another
state, when asked how he found
things in Georgia, said: “I found a
lot of complaining about hard times,
but all indications pointed in the
other direction. Everybody was rid
ing, spending, and having- everything
they seemed to want.” Which is a
fact.. It is difficult to believe there’s
anything in Georgia even remotely
akin to hard times. In this con
nection the Jackson Progress makes
this pertinent comment: “Here you
have a true picture. There is entire
ly too much indiscriminate complain
ing. Nobody has quit riding, nobody
has cut out luxuries, and on every
hand there is an air of prosperity
and plenty. Georgia is all right, and
is making progress in every direction.
We could get along lots better if
everybody would stop growling and
get in the game and boost.—Dawson

Are Laws To Be Observed?
W. H. Faust, D. D.
This question is asked in all seri
ousness; since the wet forces of the
country feel that it is utterly im
possible to do away with the eigh
teenth amendment, their tactics now
are to laugh it out of existence by
spreading the idea that it is a joke,
and can not be enforced. Even
some few of our Christian would-be
leaders feel that it ’ alright for
preachers to preach on law observ
ance, but not on law enforcement.
Laws should be enforced, and the
man or minister who is not in favor
of enforcement is in an anomalous
position in this fight to the death
that is now on.
The prohibition amendment was
voted in by the U. S. Congress on
Dec. 17th, 1917—262 for, and 126
against. The states ratified it. All
except Connecticut and Rhode Is
land voting for it.
The Vote by states is as follows:
For ratification, 5102; Against, 1245.
This vote shows how the legislators
representing directly their constitu
ents in the various states voted. No
crther constitutional amendment was
ever passed by so large a majority,
and no constitutional amendment has
ever been done away with by the
American people. So the wets see
that they are fighting a losing fight.
| One of the prominent judges in
| Atlanta said a few days ago that,
I “The rise of the bootlegger is a
mere incident in crime movement of
general and sinister proportions ex
tending for a generation; the rise of
the bootlegger, however, was preced
ed by a rise of the highwayman, the
burglar, the bank robber, automobile
theif, murder and other major felo
nies, many of these offences showing
an estimated rise as high as 1200
per cent over the period of time men
tioned. This analysis does not seem
to apply in every instance, as the
following may be noted with cer
tainty:
“Records of the department of po
lice of the city of Atlanta will show
a decrease of from 800 to 1000 in
cases growing out of the operation
of automobiles while intoxicated. Of
those cases brought before the re
corder’s court on charges of drunk
eness, the observation is offered that
more than 90 per cent of these per
sons are above thirty years of age.
What stronger proof of the success
of the prohibition law can be de
manded?”
Yes, our laws should be enforced.
In a great city recently a judge said
that during his term only one orga
nization had come before him asking
about this very Vital matter, and
urging the full penalty for the vio
lation of the law, while numbers had
been urging clemency. This should
stir our Christian people and our law
abiding citizens to put forth some
real efforts to stop this phase of cri
minality. Adequate sentences and
proper enforcement of the prohibi
tion law will produce fine efforts
upon the minds of bootleggers and
other violators. For so surely as
people realize that crime is going to
be adequately punished, they will
stop committing crimes.
It would be a fine thing if all the
pulpits of Georgia would select a
special day and preach at the morn
ing hour on law observance, and at
t the evening hour on law enforce
' ment. 1 his, with teaching in our se-
I cular and Sunday schools concerning
I the evil effects of alcohol, would
, mightily promote right living thrueut
the state. Since the law has been
written into the Constitution, our
good people have seemed to feel that
nothing else is necessary; but the
fight is still on, and the time is
ripe to hit some real blows against
this fearful evil that like a snake,
after it is killed, still wiggles, is
wiggling today its slimy tail over the
homes and churches of our fair land.
It should be hit in high places, too.
The rich and the influential should
be prosecuted an forced to obey the
laws just like the poor whites and
the negroes who are the usual
ly caught and fined.
A fresh crusade against liquor
should be preached in the state and
thruout the country, and the wets
should be told good annd proper
That the citizens of the United States
are going to see to it that lawless
-1 ness shall be outlawed in our great
nation for the good of humanity and
the glory of God.

condition,” says Mrs. Martha
F. Marlow, of Broken Bow,
Okla., "I tried numerous reme
dies to try at least to keep
going, but I could not. I was
weak and tired—just no good
at all. My back ached and I
had hot flashes until I was so
very nervous I smothered.
"I couldn’t sleep and I was
never hungry, and I kept get
ting weaker. I couldn’t stand
on my feet. This was an un
usual condition for me as I
had been pretty strong all
along. I knew that I would
have to do something, and
that pretty soon.
"Some friend suggested that
I take Cardui, and it certainly
was a good suggestion, for
after taking one bottle I could
tell I was stronger and better.
I didn’t quit. I kept it up all
through the change and did
fine. I felt like a different
