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 —o NAMES ELIHU ROOT ON WORLD BOARD Appointed Member of Committee to Prepare Plans for Constitution oi a Permanent Court of Interna tion&l Justice.

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 -o GEORGIA SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. Next Meeting of State Organization Will Be Held At Atlanta in June. At a meeting on February 2nd, of leading Sunday School and church workers of Atlanta at the office of the Georgia Sunday School Associa¬ tion an invitation was extended to the central , committee . of , the , associa tion to hold the 1920 state conven tion in Atlanta. There was a joint meting of thj central committee of the Georgia Sunday School Association and the committee ... immediately . j• . , fol- ,» , 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 on are June 15-16-17. Whit' cannot be stated at this time who out-of-slate speakers will be, til committee is planning to the best program ever offered a state Sunday School convention.

It was also in this meeting of the execu¬ committee that there would be registration fee charged,, but the would be open to all Sun¬ school workers who wished to Unusually Good Meeting.

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. -o— & r -2? mmm 1 *rithout queeticnif Hunt’s Salve ‘v fails Tetter. in tbGlresiiTx Ringworm, nf ofE zrrua f * Don’t become discouraged Itch, <n_ i fcg I s g y cause other treatments failed Aj / j Hunt’s Salve has relic- , ecl hun- s | lose dreds of cuch cases.
