MISS HAITI' SUE LOWE
ENTERTAINS BOY SCOUTS.
Tacky Party Friday Evening Fur
nished Fun and Frolic For
Crowd of Young People.
Miss Hattie Sue Lowe was hos
tess Friday evening to ‘the Boy
Scouts and their girl friends.
It was a tacky party and the
spirit of the affair possessed all
the guests. The latter came from
every quarter of the globe, and
some from even the backwoods
quarter of our own country.
In keeping with the character
assumed by them ior the evening,
some came by the way of the back
daek door, having been previously
invited to join Commissioner
Bryan’s large coiintv family.
After a time when opportunity
had been given for this cosmo
politan gathering to become ac
quainted and t j learn each other s
language, the gracious hostess, in
■ speech which none misunder
stood, invited the guest into the
dining room, where a delicious
buffet repast was served.
With music and games and
conversation, the evening passed
all too quickly and the time came
for the happy guests to say “good
bye” witli praises and thanks to
the charming hostess for one of
the most enjoyable occasions
they had ever attended.
All Boy Scouts are Brothers.
An assistant scoutmaster of
Phiiadel. hia, Alfred H. Loeb, re
lates the following significant inci
dent in his article on “What I Saw
Scouts Doing in Europe” in Boys’
Life:
“One of the most courteous
scouts whom I met was a sea
scout. He was acting es a mess
enger for the admiralty (naval
headquarters), while the rest of
his troops were serving as coast
guards. He appeared very much
interested in what the American
scouts were doing, so I showed
him some photographs of our
boys. As I also held in my hand
some photographs that I had ' .iken
of the German boy scouts, I uaid:
“I don’t suppose pictures ct Ger
man scouts would particularly in
terest you at this time.”
“Like a flash bp answered, with
best good humor':
“Why, of course, I wouid lik 1 to
see them. Alter all we are broth
er scouts aren’t we?”
“It was then I realized the true
brotherhood of the world scout
movement.”

A SONG TO POT LIQUOR
It was there, on Dixie’s tables, in the days that, lik ' a l,va:n
Have drifted down Time’s River in the shadow and iii * /Jeam,
The juice of gracious gardens, still its fragrant mem iry speaks
Of a sturdy southern manhood and the bloom on Beauty’s cheeks.
II
In the cabins of the lowly, where the clay-clad chimneys rise
And send the blue curling to the su 1 bev slu tieen skies
In the mansions, warm with welcome, on each green loved hill
and slope,
It was brewed in savory blessing for a people’s strength and hope.
nr
There are honey-dews of llybla-Arcadian joys untold;
There were feasts to please the palates of the Pagan gods of old;
Their incense-clouded banquets blest with fruits from every bough—
Had they dee uned of rare pot liquor there’d be gods am<> ig us now
IV
0 it brings you back sweet visions of t!i * country pfaces bright,
The tinkle of the corn blades, li) fields with cotton white;
The mead vws crowned with clover waere the s.mheauis loved to
race,
The pathway to the old h >me and a J ' liar’s stnili lg face.
V
The old-time, glad corn-ihuckings where you had your time and
chance
And you met your rosy sweethearts for a lumds-round in the dance:
The eountry queens in calico —you’ve k ; s :• 1 their shiny curls,
The Mothers of the inen now —they w< r lav a“P >t Liq 1 r Girls!”
VI
Though they ward it grom their menus in the banquet halls of state
Where loud plaudits ring in honor of the accents of the great;
With the crystal goblets lifted—ivn n-a .Vita red, or “Mountain
Dew”—
When they toast our Georgia wo n -n, t o n fh >y toast “Pot Liquor,”
too!
VII
Restore its prestige, Statesmen! it has helped your way to win;
Thrill the home-halls with its praises as you legislat * d in!
And tell it to the world-winds, and the stranger at voar gate:
“The old Pot Liquor people gave th ■* glory to the state!”
