ideas of right in the boys mind and :
whenever the Scout uses the sign of
his organization he recalls all that 1t
stands for, The sign Is the first three
fingers held up with the thumb and
ittle finger touching. The three
fingers remind him that as Boy
Scout he will do his duty to God and
his country, that he will help other
people, and that he will make him
self physically strong. mentally awake
and morally straight. He learns the
Scout salute by which he shows
respect 10 older people and to persons
who are his advisers.
The boy must he able to do many
things before he reaches the rank
OF a first class Scout, and even before
no becomes "tenderfoot" he must
learn the twelve planks Of the Scout
law. These laws are made to govern
his conduct. lie must not hurt or

be courteous TO everybody, especially
to women. children and aged persons.

and this duty must not be shlrked

manual labor and he must learn to
do such things as tie four different
kinds OF knots. the sleeps shank
and the halter, Glove hitch and the
timber hitch.
Boys are naturally ambitious and
soon the Scout wants to advance and
become second-class Scout, so he
learns first aid to the injured, and

Want TO REPRESENT
GEORGIA In CONGRESS
Several ASpiraDtS Already In
the Field

Atlanta, Ga, January 15.-Several
interesting congressional fights are
taking shape in addition to that in the
Third, already mentioned, John r.
Cooper, the well known Macon alw-
yer, who figured so prominently in
the famous Rawlings case from
Lwndes county, has gone out after
the congressional seat in the Fifth
district He will lock horns with
Congressman Charles l.. Bartlett, who
has held the seat for eighteen years.
Mr.. Cooper says he has nothing
against Mr.. Bartlett but he thinks it
is now somebody else's turn.
The Ninth offers prospect of an in
teresting race with Solicitor General
w. A. Charters of Gainesville, just
on the verge of announcing against
Congressman Tom Bell, also OF
Gainesville.
That Hon. John n Holder speaker
of the house of representatives will
get into the congressional race in the
Ninth. making it three-cornered, is
now a practical certainty. MIR. Hold
er has been holding off in order to de-
eide whether to run for congress Or
for governor. Friends have been urg-
ing him to make the race for both
positions. He has had hard time de-
Gliding between them, but it is now
stated with some positiveness that
| he has determined to try for the
congress job.
Three districts the Third, the Fiftl
and the Ninth may therefore presen
the interesting situation of furnishin:
opposing candidates from the SAM
towns.
In the Tenth Congressman T. W
Hardwick is promised an energeti
and capable opponent in the person q
Judge Horace NJ. Holden, formerly ,
Crawfordville, now of Augusta, VIII
recently resigned his place on tn
state supreme bench for the purpos
of returning to the practice of law.
Races in other districts are in pros
pect, but have not yet taken wha
might be called definite shape.
