Only two states in the Union pay
less for education per capita than
Georgia.
A fellow’s mother is the best
friend he’s got. If yours is living
remember her Sunday, on Nation
al Mother’s Day.
There are 375 high schools in
Georgia on the accredited list, and
Walker has two of them, LaFay
etle and Chiokamauga.
What has become of Senator
Lodge and his gang? The Moses
must have been lost in the oil bul
rushes at Washington.
Jim Holloman is raving, that’t
all. What he says sounds revolu
tionary but as Goldberg says: “It
Mosen’t mean anything.’’
McAdoo carries Texas. If he can
keep up his stride until the 24th.
ml June he will have a landslide at
the convention in New York.
When cotton is scarce and cot
ton goods cannot be said, and mills
dose down, there’s something eco
nomically wrong somewhere.
The high schools will soon close.
We hope every graduate in Walk

ter some college or University this
fall.
Bend the story of how Hancock
county, ravaged by the boll weevil,
came back and is making good
with cotton; it is an interesting
and true story. The story appears
elsewhere in this issue.
The organization of the farmers
fin the Warren District is a step in
the right direction. Let farmers in
other districts get together for
mutual benefit and pave' Way*
gar a real county farmers’ organi
sation.
The propaganda for the Mellon
Yii plan is being spread at a rap
id rote. Strikes us that some South
«rn Democratic newspapers have
he«B receiving some of the slush
ftutd from the manner in which
they approach the question; doesn’t
■Miul like ’em at all. We want re
daction of taxes but we want a
plan that will reduce for the little
fcllew and at the same
time he fair to the fel
lw of targe holdings. Mellon's
phaa is an adroitly drawn plan but
w« have failed to see its merits for
American people.

The four-term court idea is a
Mac thing in theory but in practice
IK Wadhrr county it has failed to
eerw. ®T we have a four-term court
ftet’i have it If the people of the
county don't want a four-term
court be them say so, but as long
ax it is a law let us carry out the
intmL We wonder just how many
farmers really wanted the May
term set aside. We are not anixous
to have 4 terms of Superior Court,
we rather favored the city court
but since we’ve got the four-term
Superior Court let us quit making
the intermediate terms of no avail
nr service. •
MOTHER’S DAY
Sunday should be a day of dedi
cation of men’s lives to noble char
acter and service. It i* National
Mother’s Day.
To those whose mothers have
gone the way of all the earth, it
should be a time of tender, ennob
ling reflection. To those whose
mothers still live it should be a day
of re-consecration, an opportunity
for expressed appreciation, a renew
ai of devotion to her and the mani
festations of her love, the things
she has given her life to.
A sacredly, sweet Day it should
be, and one that impels the deep
seated impulse to move the world
in more noble channels.
W r ear the white flower in honor
of her memory if she has gone, re
member her with a letter or some
token that she knows her children
haven’t forgot and that '.heir love
and affection is warm in its appre
ciation of her womanhood. Better
still, be at her side the entire day
and talk with her and let her talk
with you, make it a veritable love
feast. She richly deserves it and
your life needs a free benediction
from her own lips.
“No able man ever had a fool
for it mother,” said sharp
tongued, clear minded Thomas Car
lyle. Neither did any good man
have a bad woman for a mother. It
would be simple enough to find a
hundred expressions of love and
gratitude that famous sons have
written about the mothers that
bore and bred them, hut is not all
that they could say summed up in
this charming letter written by
Carlyle to his mother on his birth
day?
“Dear old mother, weak and sick
and dear to me, what a day this -
has been in my solitary thoughts!
For except a few words to Jane I
have not spoken to anyone, it being
dusk and dark before I went out—
a dim, silent Sabbath day, the sky
foggy, dark with damp, and a uni
versal stillness the consequence,
and it is this day gone fifty eight
years that I was born. And my poor
mother! Well, we are all in God’s
hands; surely God is good. Surely
we ought to trust Him, or what is
there for the sons of men? O my
dear mother, let is ever he a com
fort to you, however Weak you are,
that you did your part honorably
and well while in strength and
were a noble mother to me and to
us ail. I am now myself grown old,
and have various things to do and
suffer for so many years that there
is nothing I ever had to he so much
thankful for as the mother I had.
That is a truth which 1 know well,
and perhaps to say it again it may
be some comfort to you. Yes, sure
ly, for if there has been any good
in the things I have uttered in the
world's hearing, it was your voice
essentially that was speaking
through me, essentially what you
and my brave father meant and
taught me to mean; this was the
purport of all I spoke and wrote.
And if in the few years that may
remain to me I am to get any more
written for the world, the essence
of so far as it is worthy and good,
will still be yours.
' “May God reward you, dearest
mother, for all you have -done for
me. I never can. Ah, no, but will
think of it with gratitude and pious
love so long as I have the power
of thinking, and I will pray God’s
blessing on you now and always."
Sunday is Mother’s Day! How
comprehensive, how impelling, how
wonderful! Make it a glorious day
for Her and for your own life!
Mother, the sacred name, the angel
of earth!
