Piactice always overwhelms

THE COVINGTON NEWS
INTERFERENCE WITH
HIGHWAY COMMISSION
NOT THOUGHT
_
Atlanta. Ga., July 12.-Georgia
tors and advocates of good roads say
it is not probable that there will be any
serious opposition in the legislature
now on the first lap of its annual
grind—to the state highway
sion.
There has been talk, as is generally
known, of “political influence” and of
waste of the public money, but as
ing editors point out, notably P. A.
Stovall, president and editor of the
Savannah Press, “the board has made
a showing which, so far as the next
administration is concerned, seems to
be conclusive.”
Mr. Stovall says there has not been
any war declared by the administra¬
tion now in office and indications are
that the board as at present constitut
ed will be allowed to work out its plan
to give good roads to every section in
time. The highway commission, as Mr.
Stovall shows, has just commenced
business and, of course, has made a
large outlay for machinery, material
and labor. He shows that the board is
learning to build and learning economy.
“The best thing will be to let all po¬
litical differences go,” declares Mr.
Stovall.
The state of Georgia, it is pointed
out, has a big job on its hands in
forming its tax system and in raising
revenue necessary for the support of
the government.
"It is to be hoped that the war be¬
tween the different departments will
cease and that practical men rather
than politicians will cut out the work
of the two houses during the summer
session,” says Mr. Stovall.
The Savannah editor points to the
fact that Governor Walker was attor¬
ney general of the state for several
years and he is not new in the manage¬
ment of state matters.
“He is familiar with the various
questions which will come up for set¬
tlement,” Mr. Stovall says in referring
to the new governor who was inaugu
rated last week. “And he is enough of
a Statesman to know that the schisms o :
factional politics are ruinous. They do
not get us anyw’here. The whole term
may be spent in ‘investigation,’ charges
and counter charges hurled to and fro.
Let us have some steady and practical
work.”
A committee to investigate the state
highway department was authorized
shon after the legislature opened.
REGULAR W. C. T. U.

jciety I and the best reasons why the
name should be preferred, has been
| by three girls in rather widely
I ed communities. All three girls
gested the same name: “The
Aid Society of Georgia” and gave
1 equally meritorious reasons w'hy
should be chosen. The committee
1 pointed by the Masonic Club to
mine the winner of the prize decided
this name and the three girls who
gested it.
The three winners of the prize
Estelle Smijth, Atljanta, Ga., Gladys

dred dollars will be divided
-
among the three.
.> A suggested,
great many names were
some of them nearly as good as
Childrens Aid Society of Georgia, but
not any that seemed so simple and yet
expressed so exactly the work of
organization. The work is not Sup¬
ported by the state treasury, it is not
an orphanage for rearing children
in its walls, it is not confined to a home
finding program, but offers aid of the
appropriate kind in case of serious need
because of death or misfortune.
The name has not yet been officially
changed, however, and possibly may
not be at all, for that is a matter for
the directors of the Georgia Childrens
Home Society to decide. Thus far the
new name is only a recommendation
from the Atlanta Masonic Club to the
officials of the Georgia Childrens Home
Society. In due time it will be con¬
sidered, but in the meantime we are
all grateful to the boys and girls of
the state who took so much interest in
the matter.

MISS VINING CALLED TO
HEAVENLY HOMS
At noon on a bright beautiful S b
bath day, the gentle spirit of M j
Mamie Vining went to its Heave, r
Home.
The friends closest to her realiz d
for sometime that she was very nef.r
the border of eternity.
Miss Vining was the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs;. Elijah VSninff. She wa'i
born and reared in Covington and was
a graduate of the local high school.
Early she assumed the responsibilities
of service, and, by love and loyalty,
made her life a blessing and benedic¬
tion to many.
She was a member of the Methodist
church, a faithful attendant upon t) i
Sunday school, and interested in eve ’
good word and work. Devotion to du •
and loyalty to her loved ones, charactt -
ized Miss Vining in every relation of
life.
Like an angel bride she seemed .
her last dreamless ship robed in filmy
white and nestling amid the lilies so
pure and sweet.
Dr. W. B. Dillard conducted the
sacred service at the Methodist church,
in the presence of many friends whose
eyes were W’et with tears, and whose
hearts ached that she had passed from
earthly sight forever. Dr. Dillard's
tributes were tender and true. He
showed that a. life like hers was, “A
constant call to higher things above,
and that sacrifice and Christian service
can never die.” They call us on to
immortality.
Mrs. Robt. R. Fowler, her Sunday
school teacher, arranged an appropriate
program of music in which Mesdames
Lilia I. Smith, J, H. Wood, Miss Florrie
Harwell and Mr. R. E. Everitt too):
part. The instrumental melodies seemed
strains from a heavenly sphere.
The vocal selections w’ere:
“Asleep in Jesus,” “Sometime We I
Understand.”
Members of her Sunday school class
placed the floral offerings about the
altar, and sat in a group near the fain
lly.
The pall bearers were Messrs. Milton
Harwell, E. H. Mobley, Mr. Bouehillon
C. Cash, Emmett Rogers, Reginald
Robinson.
The remains were interred in South
™„ s are ^
ers, A. C., Robt. Howard, Eugene and
two sisters, Mrs. Kate Wates, of Los
Angeles, Cal., Miss Ruby Vining of
Marietta, her aunt Miss Deanie Aikur
with whom she made her home and
several uncles residing in this section
and at Winder.
Those who knew Miss Vining best,
echo in their hearts this invocation of,
“So may those of us who still linger
here
To carry on the work of thee so dear,
Think not of thee as our departed
friend,
But ever present, loving to the end
May we like thee be fit to take our
place Him
Around His throne and serve
face to face.”
MISS EVANS LAID

several months the tired soul of Miss
Lydia Evans entered into rest at the

of a devoted mother and thoughtful
courtesies of friends were lavished upon

dist church and early gave her heart to
God.
The funeral took place at the Metho¬
dist church, Monday afternoon. Rev.

posed of Mesdames Lilia I. Smith, J. II.

son, and Joe Wright.

circle go out to the bereaved mother
and family.

eral nieces and nephews.
