PROMINENT JUDGE
ENDORSES HOLDER.
The letter below to our friend F.
D. Ballard in behalf of Hon. J. N.
Holder, candidate for Governor, is
from Judge J. F. Stone, of Cairo, Ga..
and no doubt will be read with in¬
terest by Newton county folks: *
Cairo, Ga., June 19th, 1920.
Hon. D. F. Ballard, t
Covington, Ga. /
My Dear Ballard:
I believe that if you cannot pardon
me for this seeming intrusion upon
your time* that you will at least un¬
der the existing circumstances over¬
look the intrusion.
Now what I wish to say is that we
recognize the fact that our state is in
bad financial shape and has been so
for some time. There must be some
remedy applied or we will keep drift¬
ing from bad to worse. I think one
proper thing to do is to elect John N.
Holder governor. He is the available
man, and his long experience with
state affairs ought to make him well
prepared to remedy many defects.
I intend, if I live, to do all in my
power to that end. I intend to make
every talk I can for Mr. Holder’s cause
during the campaign. I have no fight
o make upon other aspirants, but will
advocate Holder as strongly as possi¬
ble.
I hope that the good people of New¬
ton will espouse Holder's cause upon
the high grounds that he is the avail¬
able man for the position.
1 deeply regret that l did not see
more of you while at Dublin. My dai¬
ly associatipn with you while with you
caused me to learn to live you very
much. I so often think of you and
have often spoken of you to many of
my personal friends. My present in¬
tention is to visit Atlanta about the
middle of July, and I do hope that it
will be my good pleasure to meet you
while there and once more grasp your
honest and friendly hand. $
If our General Assembly could be
filled with men of your honest views
and intentions, what a change there
. would be for the better. Ballard, old
friend, if you ever visit this portion
of the moral vineyard, don't you forget
to come to my home. You must know
that no man in Georgia could meet
with a warmer or more cordial wel¬
come than my good friend Ballard of
the county of Newton.
I do hope that while I am in Atlan¬
ta that it will be my pleasure to meet
you. *
With the highest personal regards
and every good wish, I am,
Trulv. your friend,

CHILD WELFARE WORK.
'Die Child Welfare Committee of
the Woman’s Cluh of Covington are
making their plans to engage in some
work which will mean stronger babies,
and naturally stronger minds for our
children. These plans are not ready
for the public as yet, but the slogan
of the Child Welfare Committee is
Agitutiou, Education and Coopera¬
tion.
Our children are the foundation for
our future, and shall we sit idly by
while so much is being accomplished
for the chldren in other communities,
aud neglect our very own? A report
lias just been sent me from Donald
soiiville, Ga,., with, a population of
less than two thousand, from the
Child Welfare Committee of that
place which can tell of what can be
accomplished when a community be¬
comes awakened to a great need.
They have already had every child of
school age examined by competent
physicians. In connection with, this
work an educational program was
put on with lectures, movies and
home nursing classes, all of which as¬
sisted the Child Welfare Committee
in their work,. So enthused were
the people of Donaldsonville over the
good that the work will accomplish,
that in less thHn one month's time the
citizens had given the princely sum of
twenty thousand dollars to be used in
Child Welfare Work,. This same
committee have also raised funds to
pay for an auto, whieli is used by
their Red Cross nurse in visiting
those in need of medical attention,
also additional funds to sustain this
special department for a period
of four months..
Do the people of such a splendid
city as Covington, in a section of
that part of Georgia unexcelled in
every point of consideration, love their
children less? No! A thousand times
no. But have we allowed the lesser
things to crowd our children out, and
are not our energies put to other ef¬
forts, while our children walk amongst
us showing in their faces the urgent
need of better and stronger bodies as
they go into the battle of life. The
Child 'Welfare Committee of the
man’s Club are making plans to for¬
ward their work along the lines of
physical and mental development for
the children of Covington and its
community,. Won’t you help them?
MRS. W. C. CLARK,
President Woman’s Club.
IN MEMOR1AM.
In the death of Mrs. Lizzie Elliott
and Mrs,. Sarah Carter, Newton and'
Morgan counties have losi two noble
Christian women. Unselfish, gentle,
loving, and always living for others
While they are gone, their noble
Christian influence will continue to be
felt by ther children, grand children,
and all who knew them,. “A good
name is rather to be chosen than
great riches.”
Both of these good women joined
the church at Shoal Creek, near where
they lived, in 1872, and were baptized
by Elder Wm.. L. Beebe, their pastor.
They loved their church and continu¬
ed in the faith once delivered to
the Saints,” and will be greatly miss¬
ed by the community and church.
A FRIEND.
BEAUTY DOES NOT DIE.
There is nothing beautiful and good
that dies and is forgotten. An infant
a prattling child, a youth well taught
will live again in the better thoughts
of those who loved it, and will play
its part, though its body lie burned to
aahes or drowned in the deepest sea.
There is not an angel added to the
host of Heaven but does its blessed
work on earth in those that loved it
here.—Charles Dickens.
JUNIOR CLUB MEMBER
MAKING GOOD START
J. P. Jolly. Jr., a junior club member
at Oxford, is proving himself to be
no ametur at gardening. Although
only ten years of age he is cultivating
a one-twentieth acre garden in to¬
matoes and is the first club member in
the county to send in a ripe tomato.
He is surely taking the right step in
helpThg to solve the high cost of liv¬
ing.
{BUBONIC PLAGUE LN
t •
| FLORIDA NOT ALARMING
j Atlanta.'Ga„ June 24.—While the
situation in regard to the appearance
of the bubonic plague in Florida is
not alarming, an intensive effort will
be made immediately by the United
States public health service, the
American Red Cross and other agen¬
cies to prevent any spread of the dis¬
ease. according to Joseph L. McMillin,
manager of the southern division of
the Red Cross, who went to Pensacola
early in the wek at the request of the
health authorities there.
Mr. McMillin returned to the South¬
ern division hedaquarters here recent¬
ly, and stated that the United States
public health ha^e service, with state board
officials, representatives on the
ground and are not alarmed over the
situation.
“A special car bearing laboratory
equipment and trained rat catchers
and exterminators has arrived in Pen¬
sacola,’’ he says. “Only two cases are
reported so far, though others are ex¬
pected to be discovered in all prob¬
ability. In Pensacola a thorough cam¬
paign will be carried on to rout out
all evidences of the plague, and in
other coast cities surveys will be made
to discover all, if any, rats affected.
The survey will he made by trained
experts, with the Red Cross co-operat¬
ing in furnishing transportation, sup¬
plies and personal service.”
After these surveys, states Mr. Mc
Millin, the state board of health will
indorse a state wide campaign by the
children of the Junior Red Cross to
exterminate rats throughout Florida.
ELECTRICITY
That any girl, whether she lives on
Peachtree ativet. in Atlanta, or on
the plantation, can keep her hair curl¬
ed by electricity at an expense of two
cents a month since the Georgia Rail¬
way and Power Company and other
big companies bate provided electric
[lower in the State, is set forth in a
table of astonishing statistics just
compiled, showing many wonderful
things that electricity will do for one
cent.
If keeping milady’s golden ringlets
in hyaeinthine beauty appeals only to
the frivilous aud to lovers, here are
some of the more practical things
of plp, fric “" < ur '
rent will do:
Bring two quarts of water to a boil.
Operate an electric griddle for eight
minutes.
Operate a seven inch fring pan for
twelve minutes.
Operate a twelve inch electric fan
for an hour.
Make a welsh rabbit in an electric
chafing dish.
Operate a sewing machine motor
for two hours.
Make four cups of coffpp in an elec¬
tric percolator.
Keep an electric flatiron hot for
fifteen minutes.
Raise 250 gallons of water 100 feet
GUARANTEED JERSEY COWS.
The forty Jerseys to he sold at
Tliomasville, Ga., July 5th, are the
tops of the best herds in the State.
The Ueorga Jersey Cattle Club as
organized in March to help the farm¬
ers and breeders of the State to get
good cattle. This sale of the State's
best is to give breeders and farmers
a chance to get cattle that are guar¬

The Georgia Jersey Jubilee will he
held in connection with the sale. A
big barbecue and watedmelons will he

lie supplied. A judging contest will
tie held in which everyone can enter
and learn how to judge by judging.
A speaker of national note, described
as being a whirlwind at speaking and
Jersey to the core, will be the orator
of the day. It will be an edu ational
treat for everyone.
In the afternoon and evening a
wonderfully clever picture, “Hearts
and Jerseys,” will be shown.
I have just attended sales in New
York and the neighboring states of
the greatest Jerseys in the world, and
let me tell you that our Georgia Jer
seys hold their own in comparison
with anything I saw.

SHOOTING NEAR BRICK STORE
Charley Gay, colored, while enraged
with jealousy, shot and fatally wound¬
ed Willie Henon. and almost immedi¬
ately after the act shot his wife, who
is a sister to the former. Both are
in a critical condition.
It is said that Gay had been jealous
nf the woman some time, and had
often beat her when it suited his
pleasure. And it was decided by
Henon, her brother, that she leave
him. and when the pre[iaration waS
made to go to the train, is when he,
after a few words, seized his shot
gun and emptied the contents in.the
side of both negroes at close range.
The fracus took place on the Grave’s
plantation, near Brick Store. Up to
the time of going f to press Gay was
still at large, but as local officers are
ou the lookout, his arrest may lie made
anytime, however, it is thought he has
left the county.

MARRIED MEN WIN
AGAIN IN GOOD GAME
Before a crowd of about two thous¬
and people, the largest to ever witness
a local game of ball, the “Married
Men” won their second victory of the
season over the “Single Men” by the
score of ten to six.
An added attraction was the “dare
devil” stunts of Lieut. Wright in an
aeroplane and by a man leaping from
the plane, while at a high altitude, in
a parachute, and lauded safely near
Weber field, where the game was re¬
plete with errors, although some good
plays were made on each side. Mose
Harwell was bumped rather hard by
the married men and gave way to
Lester, who fared little better. Cas
tlelierry started for the “men who had
been to the after” hot gave way to
Watkins. Only one run was scored
off the latter. Luck at short and Hu
*on at second, played good ball for
the losers. Barnes' at short. Anderson
at third, and “Chief Matson in right
were the stars for the victors. One of
the real features of the game was
the speed of the “single men’s” team,
in going after missed halls recover¬
ing them in record time. The out¬
fielders showed good judgment in go¬
ing after fly halls, letting the hall hit
Hie ground before trying to field it.
by so doing no one was hurt on either
side. The “married men” played with
out the services of their real star,
Wilbur Harwell, who forgot his uni¬
form. With Harwell out of the game,
the "single men” were “doped” as sure
winners, but they were “doped' too
early, for they only excelled in hit¬
ting fouls, and after much argueing
the umpire decided not to let them
take their base on such hit balls.
Bill Stillwell gave entire satisfaction
with hi* decisions as umpire.

berry. Watkins and C. Vining. “Sing¬

EVANGELISTIC SERVICES
CLOSED WEDNESDAY.
The special services of the Presby¬
terian church closed Wednesday ev¬
ening.
Rev. Hemphill, of Atlanta,, who
conducted the services, proved a most
forceful preacher, and each meeting
was well attended, psjiecially in the
evening. Everybody enjoyed hearing
him and gave the speaker their most
earnest attention.. His visit here has
resulted in good, and everyone feels
grateful to him for his gracious ef¬
forts in behalf of salvation. The
music, was good, and always such
meetings as this one just closed,
proves a benefit to anjr community.
