punching us againj.
From here we drove into Lavonia
for supper, entertainment and re

Lavonia at the hotel. After a few
hours rest we assembled at the audi

business and at noon Lavonia did

Then the afternoon session of the
Convention, election of officers and
place of meeting.
Hon. C. B|. Rountree of Wrigh's
ville was elected president and he
will wield the gavel in Waycrioss, Ga.
in 1924. .
On Thursday morning at 8:03 the
party left on special cars for Corne
lia, amid cheers and good bys from
the genial hosts of Lavonians, they
being so happy at having them that
they ‘requested Bro. Barton to bid
for the Convention in 1924.
At: Cornelia the Georgia Railway
and Power Company met the party
with six pulman cars and special
train, carrying them to Lakemont
where they gave uis a fish fry and
driving agreat number around the
lake while others went boating, from
there the special train returned them
to the Falls where a banquet was
held, a speech being made by Pres
ident Atkinron of the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company, who de-
dared tliat they would be satisfied
with their efforts at development
only when they had carded these
developments' to the extent whersdßP
o vc-vy hamlet in Georgia could have
conveniences from this wonderful
power development / They are now
cutting a tunnel through the moun
tain from Lakemont to Tallulah
Lake a distance of one m ; le, the dam
and power units at Falls already
having cost approximately fifteen
million dollars. From the falls we
were driven in cat's to Tugalo dam
where 2000 workmen are now en
gaged in building a dam at an esti
mated cost of between five and six
million dollars, two miles below
which preparations arc being made
for the erection of a noth ch dam.
This work being carried on by the
Georgia Railwav and Power Ci. is
isdeed the great winder of the Soutn,
being of so much value to Georgia
that her people are ]toud of this
enormous power development.
This indeed was a great Conven
tion in everv way and was made so
by the happy manner in which I.avo
nianx received their guests, starting
them off in the right wav. The ad
dress bv the Governor outlining
some of the great things the state
expects to accomplish, the beautiful
talk by Mfy. Corra Harris, were ele
vating and instructive. Jack Mc-
Cartney, Pat McCutcheon, Walter
Coleman, C. M. Greene, W.i T.
Bacon, Louie Morris, Johny Howell,
Fleming, Flanders, old Charlie Roun
tree, Ernest Camp are only a few
of the great of the Conven
tion! W. G. Sntlive who has so
endeared himself to all the Conven
tion as president of the Association,
was voted a gift by them at a cost
of $50.00 to be selected by a com
mittee and I believe now we should
begin to save something for that
genial hardworking Hal Stanley to
have something, whiie Cl.as. Bears
must he remembered materially
but they have the love and esteem
of the Convention.

KEEP GOING
W 1 .en things go wrong, as they some
times will,
And the road you are trudging seems
all up hill,
When the funds are low and the
debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have
to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a
hit) 4 •v-r',. ,
Lest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
i
Life is queer with lie twists and
turns
As'every one of you sometimes learns
And many u iana.e turns about,
When he nngnt nave won had he
stuek it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems
slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
| Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggle.- has given up,
, When he might have captured the
victor’s cup, ~.,t >
And he learned too late when the
night slipped down
How close he was to the golden
crown. , ......
Success turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you
are,
It may be nearer when it seems afar; i
So stick to the fight when you’re j
hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worst that you
mustn’t quit.

LETTER FROM HON G. P.
WHITWORTH
House of Representatives
Atlanta. Georgia.
To The Comer News and Danielsville
Monitor:
Gentlemen:
The Honorable Body of
! Grand Jurors of the March Term ol
Madison Superior Court recommend
ed that I, as representative of lv
son County, introduce a bill in the
General Assembly, to consolidate the
offices of tax receiver and tax collec
tor into one and the same office, and
that the ialary be fixed to be the sam
as that now received by the Tax
Collector.
Understanding that the meaning
of this request applies only to Mad
ison countv, I find after investigat
ing that such a bill would be uncon
stitutional. I refer you to the Con
stitution of the State, Article 11,
Section 3, Paragraph 1 . Also Act
approved August 14, 1914, Page 42.
There is a biil now pending before
i the House which proposes to amend
: the foregoing section of the State
Constitution and, as amended in 1914
to consolidate these two offices and
also to put any or all county officers
upon a salary, by action of General
! Assembly, whenever o county choos
es to do so.
I do not know what the outcome
of this bill will be. If it passes at
the present Session of the Legisla
ture, it will have to be ratified by
the people at the next general
election which will not be held until
next fall year, or November 1924.
Any further suggestion you o’-
any citizen of my county may wish
to make to me as your servant, I ;
assure you I will appreciate.
Respectfully yours,
G. P. Whitworth
C OUNTY S. S. CONVENTION
|
; The Mt. Herman Presbyterian
church at 11a lias invited the annual
County Sunday School Convention
for all denominations to meet with
them on Wednesday, August loth,
according to an announcement made
ly the officers of the Madison Coun
ty Sunday School Association. Tie
hospitality of these people is well
known and doubtless the Sunday
■Schoo' people thorn every section of
: the county will attend in large num
bers. The convention will be an all
day affair, it is understood, and din
ner will be se.ved on the grounds at
the noon hour in picnic style.
The State Sunday School Associ
ation is offering two banners: one
to the school with the largest number
of delegates present in proportion to
the distance traveled; and another to
the School having the largest number
ot its officers and teachers present
in proportion to the distance traveled,
provided 75 per cent of them are in
attendance. This will, no doubt, be
a big incentive for most of the church
es to work up a large attendance.
The Sunday School superintend
ents and the pastors are asked to
take note of this and see that a fine
attendance is worked bp from their
Schools. w
SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS
MEETING
j The Kings Daughte. s Class was
very pleasantly entertained Thursday
afternoon, July J9th, at the home
of Mrs. A. L. Comer,
i After the usual opening of prayer
and scripture reading, the Bible
Study Class was held with Mrs. Em
ma Strickland as leader. Then
Christ’s parables were told in a very
interesting way by different ones of
the members,. The next feature was
a reading by Mrs. T. C. Davison in
her usual clever way, “The Keeper
of the Lights,” pointing the impor-
I tance of patience and courage in
spite ofi adversities).
!, Delicious refreshment® were se.v
-cl by Mrs. Lenoir and Mrs. Comer.
Next meeting to be Aug. 24th with
Mrs. Mack Gunteif.

hundred fifteen students and gradu
ated a class of twenty five.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS
j
Georgia, Madison County.
We the £Jrand Jurors, selected,
chosen and sworn to serve, this the
July Term 1928, ask to make the
following special presentments. We
extend our thanks to the Honorable
Judge, W. L. Hodges, for his able
and efficient charge delivered to us,
also our thanks to our Solicitor Gen
eral, A. S. Skelton, for his counsel
and assistance during this term; r.r.d
id to our bailiff also, T. L. Hen
ley, for his faithfulness and prompt
ness rendered this body. We desire
to call attention of proper officers to
conditions existing in Court House
and Jail; We find tho toilets in
court Louse in verv unsanitary con
:'ion; much of the plumbing seems
' be broken and disconnected. We
recommend and insist that same Ire
thoroughly overhauled and repaired
or rebuilt and that al! toilets put in
sanitary condition. We furthe*
recommend that when same has beet*
done officers in charge of such build
ing shall use every means at hand
to protect and preserve same from
damage in tho future.
Our special attentio has been call
ed to Jail by the recent escape of al*
piisonrs confined therein.
! We have deemed it wise to ex
amine this Jail building in a body
and while we do not consider the
jail building modern or up to date
and fully secure for the safe keeping
of desperate criminals; We do not
recommend anew building at this
time, but a thorough and complete
repairing of the old building.
We suggest and recommend as
;m;t of this repair, That windows 1 e
'°sed on inside with iron lattice
shuttet's as close as State sanitary
law will permit.
We further recommend to officers
in charge of jail and prisorn| a to
use all caution and diligence in the
holding and safe keeping of al! pris
oners in his charge.
Our investigation of recent Jail
delivery convinces us that prisoners
had assistance fiom outside but is
not sufficient to fix blame upon any
person or persons.
\\ e recommend to our Commission
er close and hearty co-operation with
•State Highway Association and The
federal Road Aid Board, that he may
secure for our county our full pro
portions of road funds
We recommend that these proceed
ings be published in Daniejsvillt Mon
itor and Comer News and that same
be paid from County funds.
Respectfully submitted,
