Game Law Change* Urged By Twitty
Abolition of the county game war
den system in Georgia and the sub
station of a corps of competent
deputies or patrolmen will be asked
of the next legislature by the state
board of game and fish, it was an
nounced today. The discontinuance
of the present system was recom
mended by State Commissioner Peter
S. Twitty in a report made to the
state board in its executive session
here Friday.
Tho commissioner also advocated
sale of hunting or fishing licenses be
transferred from the game warden
to the ordinary or clerk of the su
perior court of each county, and that
the fee for this service be added to
the present price of each license.
Mr. Twitty further recommended
the discontinuance of the practice of
paying wardens, deputies or other in
formers a commission on fines, and
that all fine money revert to the de
partment.
Recommendation also was made
that a license tax be imposed upon
fishermen. Ninety per cent of the
cost of enforcing the game and fish
laws is at present borne by hunters,
the commissioner said.

Poor Old Man That Walks
A poor old man who walks; walks
because he has no automobile and no
money with which to buy one, and
but very few to say, “Come on,
Fncle Ike,’ and let’s take a ride,”
may be a poor hand to make sug
gestions or give advice, but in his
own language, we quote him: “Tell
these auto fellows, Mr. Editor, if
they really want to be beneficial to
l he farming interests of the county,
to cut out one-half of the unneces
ary riding. Tell them I said that
“ le price paid for gasoline in Walton
county in four months would pay

said it would be no difficulty to raise

SUMMER SCHOOL
There will probably be a summer
school at Martin Institute from
June 15th to July 15th. The object
of the school is to give those pupils
that have failed in subjects through
out the year a chance to make up
the work.
In checking over the records, we
find several pupils that have been
retained in the grades, that, with one
month’s work on one or two sub
jects, might be promoted. Then we
find some students that have been
promoted, but weak in one or two
subjects. The school will be run to
give students an opportunity to
strengthen themselves in some sub
jects, and to make up work that has
been failed.
The fee for the school will proba
bly be $5.00 per subject. It may be
more in some cases, and less in oth
ers, depending on how many taking
the subjects. In other words, the
school must be self sustaining.
Next Monday, June 6th, will be
registration day. All interested, will
report at the school building be
tween 9 and 10 o’clock for the pur
pose of registering. If enough regis
ters, we will have the school; if not,
then it will be impossible to operate.
If there are enough pupils, the school
will open for work about June 15th.

Splendid Programs
At Martin Institute
Commencement
Commencement exercises opened
Sunday morning with the Raccalaure
ate sermon delivered in the Insti
tute auditorium by Rev. Pierce Har
ris, pastor of the Euford Methodist
church.
Mr. Harris chose as his text two
portions of Scripture: “I can do all
things through Christ which strength
eneth me;” and “No man having put
his hand to the plough and looking
Pack, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
He delivered one of the most ex
cellent sermons ever heard in Jeffer-
son, and was warmly congratulated
by many of the congregation who
listened to him so attentively. He
spoke of the great age in which we
are now living—a age—
and what a sublime thing it is to
be alive; yet it is a period when it
is most necessary to keep our minds
on the fundamentals of life. No
twenty-five years in the history of
this country has ever known such
progress as has been enjoyed by
those who have lived during the past
twenty-five years. Today, we have
the automobile, the telephone, the
telegraph, the radio, electricity in all
its uses, nevertheless we regard them
as commonplaces, and complain of
this marvelous service because it is
commonplace. Practically all of
these were indicated in the days of
our forefathers. There are no new
doctrines. Old writers tell of the
things that are happening today.
While we are enjoying this wonder
ful age. we must not forget the
things of the past, and as our op
portunities are enlarged, our re
sponsibilities are magnified. Foun
dations of faith are being under
mined, and there are two schools of
thought. One class discards the old
because it is old, and another ac
cepts it for the same reason. Many
landmarks of civilization are passing
away. One thing, it is difficult to
keep the standard of womanhood on
the exalted pedestal it once occu
pied; young manhood and young
womanhood no longer have regard
for constituted authority; people are
disobedient to trusts; the home is
not what it used to be—it is only a
place to park the Ford until it cools.
Mr. Harris warned the graduating
class of the two roads that now con
front them. A cross road with a
great signboard which all must read,
and after chdosing the direction,
must pass on. Each makes fus own
selection, and knows the rbiite he is
taking. One is broad and beautiful,
but ha< pitfalls and disappointments,
and Icids into dark shadows; the
other is a road of service and use
fulness. If the wrong road is chosen,
the scrapheap of broken lives will!
claim you; but the end of the other
is the Kingdom of God. Life may
bring small tasks, but do them, and
do them well.
Beautiful music was furnished by
the choir, composed of singers from
each denomination, with Mrs. J. S.
Ayers, pianist.
The same choir also furnished
music for the evening service, which
was held in the Methodist church,
with Rev. L. B. Linn, assisted by i
Rev. N. A. Parsons, occupying the!
pulpit. Rev. Linn preached one of
his outstanding sermons from the
text, “A living dog is better than
a dead lion.”
