Boom Started for
Supt. 7. H. Harris

Political visitors to New Orleans
during the week brought with them a
gubernatorial boom for Thomas H.
Harris, state superintendent of edu-
cation. Whether or not the Harris
boosters are working with his knowl-
edge or consent is not known, but it
is a fact that they are at work.
Professor Harris" said one of the
boomers at the Cosmopolitan Hotel,
twill clean up if he enters the race
for governor. His record as state SUI
perintendent of education shows that
he is genius in constructive work.
He has an army of friends through
out the state that win rally to his
support and they are numerous
enough to put him over in the first
primary"
Mr.. Harris was urged to run for
governor in 1916, but he declined to
become a candidate. Since that time
he has succeeded in putting his legis-
latiye program through the Legisla-
ture and has had some of his educa-
tionaI reforms written into the Con-
stitution. Some of his friends are
of the opinion that he can be induced
to seek the gubernatorial nomination.

Memorial Day Exercises.

The tenth of May has for many
years been celebrated in our town,
and the Confederate veterans have
been honored and the graves of our
soldiers decorated since many of US
now with gray hairs were children.
In the old days the children all march
Ell to the village and the Catholic
cemetery and to the inspiration of
the beat of drum each child with
the wreath of flowers in her hand
and marching by his or her comrade,
felt, the fire of patriotic enthusiasm
sven tner cniiiiidish boso1hs: Many
years the services would be held in
the churches, but Of late years they
have been held in the Opera House.
On the occasion on last Friday,
many from our town and county and
many veterans, gathered once more
to honor the day and the deeds of
the heroes and heroines of the sixties.
On the platform were the minis
ters and musicians, Mrs. j. R. Tomp-
kins presiding at the piano.
Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse conduct
ed the devotions, and Rev. E. c. Bal
ley presided over the programme.
The children of the Bald Eagle
Chapter sang "Dixle" as chorus,
and Rev. Mr.. Bailey INTRODUCED Rev
W. S Brooke, pasto- of the Baptist
Church of Johnston, who made the
address of the occasion.
This address was one of the finest
and most appropriate that has been
delivered here. His appreciation OF
the veteran was full of heart and
must have cheered and assured them
that their memory would not be for
gotten throughout the coming years.
The present war nor its results will
ever eclipse them in the future nor
cause their names to be consigned
to oblivion, but the present genera
ton can now in a measure realize
some of the struggles through which
they passed, and is, therefore, the
more responsive to experiences and
sacrifices of our soldiers.
The ushers for the day were Miss
es Julia Folk, Edith Walker, Mario
rie and Grace Tompkins.
During the collection by the ush-
ers, Mrs. J. R. Tompkins played
medley of southern airs.
The last number was quartette,
"The Star Spangled Banner" sung
by Mrs. R. G. Shannonhouse, Mrs.
B. B. Jones, Rev. A. L. Gunter and
Mr.. Mitchell Reynolds.
At the close of the programme,
the veterans and their wives, and the
ministers and their wives were serv-
ed with dinner. The benediction was
pronounced by DR.. E. P. Jones.

so plainly illustrated, / take the
privilege to say that there was not
one who who was not desirous to do
something in this great work, and
at the close of this address we all
felt like singing, The old flag will

We all feel highly honored to have
our distinguished white friends come
and speak to us at all times, and l
speak the sentiments of the entire

chairman the red cross chapter
for Edgefeld, he was able to point
out many ways by which We may
cooperate in this important work.
