THE CALL or THE WOMEN

The call for the organization of a
Civic Betterment League, published
elsewhere in this paper, is move in
the right direction, and in line with
the good women of other towns and
cities Of the country. The move has
been suggested several times in this
paper, and has our assurance of what
ever help we may be able to render.
Let all the good women of the town
need the call and be present next
Tuesday. The Womans Club is taking
the initiative in this important mat
ter, but insists that it be the business
of all the organizations of the town.
What the devoted women have done
in the past few years in bcautirying
and keeping up the cemeteries of this
town is sample OF what happens
when they take . hand. Remember
the date, Tuesday, the 18th.

STAND BY SENATOR ROYAL
(Advertisement.)

The temperance people of this dis
trict owe j. Powell Royal debt of
gratitude that they now have an op-
portunity to pay.
He worked four years for the great
cause of temperance, and by his vote
in the Senate of 1914, made possible
the passage of the Enabling Act"
He cast the vote that made a tie vote
of 10 to 10, and the President of the
Senate broke the tie. | understand
that the other four Republic,.i Sena-
tors voted against the "EnablingAct." :"
But Royal left his Republican col
leagues, and stood for morality and
right.
1t Will be necessary at the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly to make
effective the provisions of the "Enab-
ling Act" and it would be just and
fitting compliment to Senator Royal
to give him the honor of making com
plete and effective that legislation
he has so earnestly labored for during
his term in the Senate.
The Confederate Veterans also owe
Senator Royal debt of gratitude, for
he introduced bill in the Senate to
increase their pensions by paying
them $4,000 per year, and payable
quarterly. The bill did not pass, but
ne did his duty, and we owe it to him
to return him to the Senate for that
reason and he pledges himself, il
elected, to introduce the same bill
again, and does not believe that any
Senator will have the heart to oppose
the measure.
Temperance people and Confederate
Veterans, vote for the man who stood
by you in these matters.
TEMPERANCE MAN, COFEDER.

THAT COVE CREEK MEETING.

The district Sunday School meeting
appointed for Cove Greek last Satur-
day, was very much of a disappoint-
ment. The speakers from town failed
to show up. There's a reason. The
secretary, Mr.. Leslie; the President,
Mr.. Brown and Rev. T. II. Campbell,
were ready TO start, when it was learn
ed thru phone message from T. l..
Shuffiebarger, that the trip could not
be made in an automobile on account
of high water and a muddy stretch of
road. And this is the sole reason this
end of the line was not on hand. AT
terwards, it was learned that Senator
Royal and others went over the road
in an auto.

asked if the editor knew that if you

lie has tried it this season, and in
every instance almost, the song, (if it
may be called singing) ceased. The
editor heard this said when he was a
boy. Did any of our readers ever
try it?
