THIS FEBRUARY WILL
HAVE FIVE SUNDAYS
-
First Tim*; It Has Happened Since
1880. Will Occur Again in i
1948. i
This is leap year and this month I
.will have the u.-,ual twenty-nine days |
allotted to Februaries which leap.
But February will have something
very unusual this year something j
that no February has had for forty
years—five Sundays.
Many people have had their curios¬
ity aroused bv the fact that this
month with it’s meager twenty-nine
days wil have one more Sunday than
either December or January could af¬
ford with their full quota of thirty
one days.
Many inquiries have come, asking:
“When did February have live Sun¬
days before, and when will it oc¬
cur again?
In 1756, 1784, 1824, 1852 and 1880
February had five Sundays, and in
1948 the month will again have five
Sundays.
The periodicity of the five-Sunday
ed February seems to be 28 and 4U
years, so that a erson may be born,
marry and ha\e children and pass t
“that bourne from which no travelei
rr-furncth,” and never see a February
with five Sundays.—Dawson News

ADMIRAL SIMS
WARNS AMERICA
Declare* United States May Be “Up
Against It” in the Next War if She
Has to Face an Enemy’s Navy
Single-handed.
JERSEY CITY, N. J.—A warning
that the United States may be “up
against it” in the next war if she
has to face an enemy’s navy single
handed was uttered last night by
Rear Admiral William S. Sims in an
address delivered before the Jerse..
City Lincoln Association.
a We got away with this job thi:
time,” said Admiral Sims, “but we
may be up against it next time, with
a navy that is not busy fighting th.
navies of other countries at the same
time.”
The Admiral declared that any
criticism he had ever made had been
made for the benefit of the navy bu.
that Amricans do not like to be
cised.
<< America cannot and does not ask
for criticism,” he declared: “You
know that. They argue: ‘We’re all
right and if we’re not we don’t wan;
to hear it.’ This is a dangerous at
tidude and has cost us thousands of
lives. Assumption' has been made
that 1 have criticised the record of
the navy. I have gone beyond the
limit of praising the men for their
work. I have told the truth—some
of this was not liked. it

There was a joint meting of thj

f urogram ? .7,
lowing the meeting .. of . the .. Atlanta ^
leaders, at which time the invitation
was accepted to come to Atlanta for
the lEADER-TRIBUNF. FORT VALLEY, GA., FEBRUARY 19, 1920
1920 convention. The dates

cannot be stated at this time who
out-of-slate speakers will be, til
committee is planning to

a state Sunday School convention.
Last November in the meeting o!
state executive committee it was
that all who attend the 1920
Sunday School convention

other conventions. It was also

show that a total of 124,Sunday

of other Sunday School workers.

MUCH DEPENDS ON SHERIFF.
Now, when there is so much dis
■egard of law, so many people steal
ng, so many blind tigers in opera
ion, much depends upon the charac
er of the men chosen to enforce the
■w and this applies in a special man
icr to sheriffs in all the counties in
his state. We call attention to this
matter now, at a time when we can j
omraent on it without the semblance
>f partiality since in this county, I
et, there are no announcements
he office of sheriff. It is all the
■lore important by reason ot the fact
(
hat sheriffs along with other coun
y officials are elected for a term of
’our years so that sheriffs nominated
l the aproaching primary if elect¬
ed in the general election as they
?cted in the general election as
vill be, W ;n held office for four
1 11
ears. More than any other man
he enforcement of law devolves up
n the sheriff. He can, if he will,
io much in that direction. On the
>ther hand, if he winks at the viola
ion of the law; if he favors his spec¬
'll friends; if he is not at heart a
aw abiding man himself, he can and
vill doubtless be a stumbling block
0 the matter of law enforcement
Prohibition is a real fact, nation
.vide in name. It is no longer a
•al law. All over this land it is a
violation of the law to make or sell
'■'toxicants. No man should be elec
-,«d sheriff, who is not in full sympa¬
thy with the law. It is better, far
•otter to elect some man who is known
to be in sympathy with the law. it
1 still better to elect to the office of
i.’ieiiff some man who does not tip
ole. The man who drinks, no matter
.vho he may be, has more or less sym
inthy with his fellow man who
Irinks. For this reason it i better
to elect a man who has a clean rec
>rd on this question. It is true thai
a sheriff though he may be in full sym¬
pathy with the couvts and a ll hough
he may not tipple himself, will be
fearfully handicapped unless he ha;
the support of the courts, the jurie
and the people generally. But hav¬
ing all this, if his heart is not in the
matter, if he feels kindly to the
tiger who deals out aicholic drink.-,
he is likely to handle this kind of cri
minal with gloves on his hands, 0
all times in history, we need now
this county and every county in
state, a man in the sheriff’s office wh-.
has a clean record, and who can
depended upon to enforce the las
honestly, impartially, regardless o
friends or foe.—Commerce New
The election of a man to the
fice of sheriff who is known to be m
hearty sympathy with law enforce
ment, especially in the whiskey
fic, should be the policy of the vote:
in every county in the
ler Herald.
