Good Roads For Georgia..
“Good Roads for all parts of
Georgia” will be the slogan of the
Association of County Commis¬
sioners of Georgia, which is to
hold iis fifth annual convention in
Atlanta May 29 and 30.
Because of the big boost that is
to be given better road building,
unusual interest centers in the con¬
vention this year, and officials in
charge of local arrangements have
received assurance of an extra¬
ordinarily large attendance. Fred
Houser, of Atlanta, secretary of
the association stated that indica¬
tions were that county commis¬
sioners and good road boosters
would be present to represent
every section of the state, and that
the effect of extensive plans to be
put under way for better highways
and oMier improved county condi¬
tions would be felt generally.
The business session of the con¬
vention, which are to be held in
the Kimball house, will be presi¬
ded over by President Oscar
a member of the Fulton
commission and former
of that body. An elaborate
gram of addresses, stressing
roads and other matters of impor¬
tance to county governments, has
been prepared. Extensive enter¬
tainment features also will be
vided.
Among those who are to
part in the program are, Leland J.
Henderson, president of the
gia Highways association; Paul
Ethridge, of the Fulton
sion; Judge T. E.
chairman of the state highway de¬
partment; Judge George T.
of Savanah, county attorney
Chatham; Prof. Charles M. Sira
ban, dean of engineering, Univer¬
sity of Georgia ; E. E.
county attorney of Fulton ; W.
Neel, state highway

\f. Anderson, of Boston.

Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County
Cleveland High School Closes With
Appropriate Exercises,
Saturday night at Cleveland
High School auditorium the first
erercises of the commencement of
this season were exhibited. The
program was a splendid one, and
was highly enjoyed by the large
audience upon attendance. Es¬
pecially was it enjoyed by those
who enjoy most the childrens’
exercises, for this was the night de¬
voted to their exercises. Those of
us who take notice to the shining
innocence of the child in the perfor¬
mance of its work in this capacity
cannot but feel deep down within
us that so much depends upon the
training of the little one that its
whole future life may be made
happy or miserable, a success or a
failure, just according to the teach¬
ings and impressions made upon
its little but bright mind in the days
of its youth, and the evidence of
this night displays the fact that the
best and purest training has been
theirs.
Sunday at 11 o’clock the audito¬
rium was tilled to overflowing
with a congregation anxious to
hear more and to learn more of the
words contained in Scripture and
the interpretation that splendid
minister, Rev. M. McG. Shields,
had in store for the occasion. Well
does that audience know the
power of his mind and the fluency
of his speed), for they listened
most attentiveiy to perhaps
greatest sermon ever preached
that auditorium.
The exercises of Monday
were such as thrilled the
wifli pfide for f'heJybuhg boys
girls of the school, and
abroad admiration for the
of our school that never before ex
isted. The recitations and
logues were performed
and it was quite clear to see that
the participants had teachers
train them well worthy of the
tions they hold, and of which
are proud.
At 10:30 o’clock Tuesday
graduating exercises opened
si large number in attendance.
Those graduating were:
Stovall, Joe Ed. Underwood
Robert Adams; Misses
Jones and Mazie Craven.
essays upon this occasion
by the graduates were indeed
credit to the young ladies
gentlemen. Their subjects had
been carefully chosen and each
ject was based upon a principle of
real worth and of necessity to
present and future generations
America. Col. Ben Gailard,
Gainesville, in his
ability to entertain an audience,
did more than usual for his soul
seemed filled with love and admira¬
tion for the graduates, and he pour¬
ed forth from the depth of his soul
the true expressions of his heart as
never before.
Tuesday night was devoted to a
play entitled “Claim Allowed.”
This is a copyrighted play, ail'd
must be paid for every time it is
staged. It is a play such us never
before has been given an audience
in Cleveland. The auditorium was
filled. Perhaps the best way to
express the interest the whole au¬
dience had in the play would be to
say that all were so deeply interest¬
ed that not a whisper could be
heard during either of the several
acts during the entire play, and
because of this perfect quietness
all enjoyed it the better. The
boys and girls participating in this
play had each their part perfect,
for not a single error was made
that could be detected by the au¬
dience. Words of praise as never
before could be heard on every side
as we emerged from the building,
not alone to the parties in the play
but of those who guided and

ed the participants, well
behalf of the play itself.
With the close of this exercise
the commencement closed, but the
work of the school during the past
few months, regardless of the ob¬
stacles by epidemics, will never
close, for it shall live forever as it
is passed from one to another
down the ages. This is that
which never dies. Money may be
squandered, but the intellect of
every individual is transmitted
from one to another, never to be
forgotten. The labors of the
teacher may be largely one of self
sacrifice, but it is one whose dura¬
tion is everlasting. It is well then
that we ever endeaver to get the
best that may be had—and we
truly think we have them—to
j instruct and to guide the minds of
| our sffspring, for our faculty has
been re-elected,
In Memory Of Dear Uncle,
On the 23rd day of May theLord
saw fit to take away Joseph B.
Black from this world of sorrow
and woe. He died in a hospital
in Atlanta, where he had been for
some time. His remains were
brought back and laid to rest in
Bethlehem cemetery, the funeral
services being conducted by Rev.
Hunt and Rev. Kimsey in very ap¬
propriate words,
lie leaves a wife, five children,
four grandchildren, three sisters
and many relatives and friends to
mourn his departure but our loss is
his eternal gain.
He was a good Christian man
and he joined the Baptist church in
youth and walked the path of
righteusness vigilant and strong in
faith to the end. He had attained
the age of 59 years.
I would say to all the bereaved
ones, weep not for him for he has
passed to the great to the great be¬
yond where thfere will be no more
sad partings, and may we all so
live that when God calls for 11s we
will be prepared to meet him where
we will never have ’to part any
more.
A NEICE.
Melon Ami Pickle Worms.
These two insects are both pres¬
ent in our melon and cantaloupe
gardens almost every season,
causing a great deal of injury by
boringjnto the fruit. Some seas¬
ons the melon worms predominate
in numbers, while in others the
pickle worm does the principle in
“The'fftvorite £ r % food of the pfckle
worm consists of buds, blossoms,
and fruit of the summer squash,
while the favorite food of the mel¬
on worm consists of foliage of the
summer squash. It is therefore
recommended by tho extension ser¬
vice entomologists that in every
cantaloupe or melon patch there be
planted a few hills of summer
svuasii, and when they have form¬
ed about six leaves to spray them
them thoroughly with arsenate of
lead to 50 gallons of water, or put
on dry with lime 1 pound of arsen¬
ate of lead to 4 pounds of lime
dusted on the squash vine when
the dew is on Repeat at intervals
of to to 12 days.
Another method of dealing with
these worms is to bag the young
plant. If this is done use 6-lb.
bags of fairly heavy grade manila
paper, the bagging to be done
when the fruit has readied the size
of a large hen egg. The opening
of the bag should be tightly drawn
around the stem below the fruit.

Compliments Solicitor Collins.
After having heard the case of
Waymon Vaughn, tried and con¬
victed of murder in Stephens coun¬
ty, last week, a good citizen of
Franklin county wrote our new
Solicitor-General, Col. J. G. Col¬
lins: “I will say to you that your
argument in the Vaughn case was
a masterpiece. It was with great
force and the grace, fairness and
skill in which you handled the
state’s evidence demonstrated that
a prosecutor and lawyer you
rank with the very best there is.
The Northeastern circuit has in
yau a Solicitor-General second to.
none.”—Gainesville, News.
