The yard contest ended with the awarding of the prizes last Saturday
morning at the school house. It was a grand contest and everyone seems
pleased with the decisions of the judges.
It was tough enough to pass Judgement upon the most improved yards
and right here I want to salute the Covington Garden Club upon the ex
cellent manner in which they selected the "Most Beautiful'’ yard Mrs.
R. H. Patterson, Mrs. S. A. Ginn, Mrs. W. Trox Bankston, Mrs. Clarence
Meadors and Mrs. R. R. Fowler, Sr., you did a wonderful job. The people
of Covington Mill want to thank you through this column.
We hope it meets with your ap
proval.
The grand prize—for the "Most
Beautiful" yard in the village is
five dollars. It is awarded on the
judgement of officials of the Cov
ington Garden Club. It was felt
that these officials are equipped with
more knowledge of yard beauty and
are in a position to give a more
broadsided opinion.
The overseers have certainly made
some improvements in their yards
and are to be commended for their
cooperative spirit although they
were eneligible for winning a prize.
Their yards bespeak of their at
titude toward better and nicer things
for Covington Mills.
The small part our club played in
this contest was enjoyed by eacn
and every member and we, as a
whole, stand ready ever to advance
more.
Again I want to thank each and
every one for the unexcelled har
mony in putting over this contest.
Too, again, may I part with another
boquet for our general manager, Mr.
Bob Arnold.
MODERN
WOMEN
This column is dedicated to the
pessicists who insist that no house
that ever was built was big enough
for two women. Here’s a story of
forty women who have worked to
gether for forty weeks or more and
are 4 still on speaking terms. Nay
more, they are not only women but
forty there isn't a cat in a carload.
Heres the story, which is inter
esting because it has always been
a favorite theory that women can
not be in each other s company
for a period of time without get
ting on each other’s nerves.
This is proved false by a novelt
plan that the cast of the play, “The
Women," have put into operation.
These forty actresses have toured
the country together for the past
forty weeks, and have been insep
arable all this time. They shared
dress-rooms, spotlight and applause,
and at the end of the show's run the
entire cast agree to meet once a
week for luncheon, so that they
might keep in touch with each
other.
Began on the Road
The women have formed a
friendship that began when the
show went on the road ten months
ago. They immediately set to work
to put their idea into operation. It
was unanimously agreed that the
best way to keep in contact witn
each other would be to meet once
a week, and discuss what each was
doing.
Thus far the plan has enjoyeo
great success. Not only have they
managed'* to cement their friend
ship, but they are all genuinely
interested in each other’s welfare
The original cast decided to al
low no newcomers to participate
in their unusual plan. Only the
forty women of the show are al
lowed to attend their luncheon.
The story of "The Women,’’ the
play in which these forty women j
appeared, is a clever but merciless
exposure of the minds and re
actions of women of the luxury
loving, easy-living class. The cast,
besides being letter perfect, must
have learned much from the lines
and have profited by the several
lessons the play teaches.
One lesson is that behind a wo
man’s “because" is usually a very
definite purpose.
Having struggled along
benefit of men all through the run
of the play, these extraordinary
women have decided to keep their
luncheon free of them,
foredoomed to failure. It will be
impossible for the cast to show up
weekly for these events, so as time
goes on the existing bond will be
weakened and, in due time, the
weekly meetings will be so poorly
maining will give them up alto
attended that the two or three re
For Congress
I have qualified with the Secre
tary of the Democratic Executive
Committee of the Fourth Congres
sional District for re-election to the
76th Congress, subject to the Pri
mary to be held September 14th.
I will very deeply appreciate tjhe
support of the people of the Fourth
District in the coming election.
1. M. OWEN
With two sheets of
copy on my hands already, and It
being something along the line I
want to say, it will, I think, be okay
just to pass on to you readers the
little speech I read Saturday morn
ing at the school house. It follows
In behalf of the Advance More
Club, I feel it a signal honor to have
this chance of thanking Mr. Ar
nold for his cooperative spirit and
progressive attitude in making this
yard contest possible. Also, a word
might be said for the fine spirit
everyone has entered this contest.
I have never seen a finer group of
people working more in harmony
lor a better cause. Their team-work
is unparelled.
At the outset of this contest It
would have been easy for Ralph
Watkins and myself to have got
ten someone outside the village to
judge the yards making improve
ments. However, he and I. in accord,
felt that the people of the village
check them and keep a pretty fair
estimate in their minds all along
during the contest.
We checked every yard with an
open mind. The conditions we found
Thursday afternoon was compared
with those of the first check. It was
quite difficult to decide upon some
of the yards—the difference some
times beeing the appearance of the
back yard. However, we know that
no finer people can be found any
where to deal with and are confi
dent that our decisions conserning
the differences in the yards will be
received with broad minds that be
seek principles.
As you have been told before,
the amount of the prizees are m
keeping with the business condi
tions. Business has been on the de
cline for quite a while and the re
cent flare-up of long-hoped-for
prosperity is not sufficient to off
set the losses suffered by the com
pany in the weeks and months Just
past.
Knowing a little about humane
nature though, the ones who win
these prizes are looking and think
ing beyond the prize money itself.
They feel a personal pride in hav
ing been chosen as one who has
made the most improvement in their
yards. The destinction of winning
more than surpasses the value of
the prize itself—it is something that
can’ not be spent, lost or taken from
one—a truly contentment in the
heart.
A record has been kept these
many months of the actual condi
tions of the yard and Mr. Watkins
and myself, after much discussion,
has agreed upon the following as
the contestants who have made the
i most improvements.
CLASS A Tyrus Day
CLASS B .... Lawrence Brown
and .lodge Boswell
CLASS C .. Ralph Patrick
and Olie Rayben.
We feel that these won in a race
that was so close it hurt to make a
decision. The yards of Oline Rowe.
Edward Rowe, T. C. Turnbull and
several others made it quite hard
for us to judge. We hope that every
one can realize that these awards
are made on the most improvement
and not on looks alone. The actual
work of building a new yard has
been considered in our selections.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
gether. It will be nobody's fault
but just the interferences that no
one can help.
Yet Friendships Die
These women, wno nave shared
so much, are like schoolmates who,
at the end of their school life, vow
eternal friendship and insist on
telling any and all who will listen
that they will always remain
staunch and true with their
schoolmates.
That may work out in a sense,
but it is passible to hope for ac
tive friendships, by which is meant
either constant or frequent asso
elation and correspondence. Save
at reunions, old schoolmates sel
dom meet. . Correspondence, even
among the most loyal friends, is
likely to dwindle and die as the
years roll by. because it is harder
and harder to find anything to
about.
When forty women have been
to work side by side and live,
great part of the time, at least,
without bickering or seri
breaks, it's news—big news of
cheeriest and most encourag
kind. It shows that women are
