"JEST RUMTNATIN'."
 CRobert Russcll.)

Jest Mothers Day! It seems as though no words could add to those To beautify-as naught may aid the fragrance O the rose. Fen hardened criminals will stop an think back through the years.
 So in degenerated eyes will spring n hint O tears. An thought will come to thoughtlcss ones. as Mothers Day draws near: What have we done 10 make her life the brighter through the year?
 To them who arc not careless but have tried to do their best
 Will come the same remorse that they have erred-like all the rest. Your mother. once flower fair. with youth an beauty bright;
 Has your life brought the weary look that aims ner eyes tonight? Your mother. once d flower fair,-is there a single line In that sweet face made sad because of some wrong act of thine?
 Perhaps you still have beauty, youth-perhaps without a care;
 Will some far distant Mothers Day find you, with whitened hair, With secret weeping in your heart because, alone. you live
 In longing for the one who's had all Mothers love may give?
 An so. tomorrow. think of her perhaps a faded rose But beautiful-'tis Mothers Day-no words may add to those.

So short the night so long the day
 For mothers never free! I watch them, passing by their way,
 And though I cannot see The silent sacrifice each makes
 Amid the cry and hue. know that mothers. for our sakes,
 Have gone the gamut through: Have done just what no other Would do for us but mother. And never can another
 Replace her sacred charms: A sainted little mother. A patient little mother. A wondrous little mother
 Holds the world within her arms, Tn youth and age. night after night.
 Unto the dawn of day. One steadfast soul holds up the light
 That shines where e'er we stray. And. oh. tho endless toll she knows.
 The planning and the care. The tenderness. like some fair rose
 That. bloom'd. bends low in
 pray'r. So. when I sec another. Some other fellows mother. I feel I am his brother
 who'd shield her from all harms: A tender little mother A fervent little mother. A smiling little mother
 Holds the world within her arms!

EDUCATION BY MOVIES.

Thomas Edison blamcs elementary schools for the ignorance found in col lcGc men. The critical point in n boys mental life. he asserts. is between the ages of twelve and seventeen. It is at this time he should begin to take notice. to read newspapers, to show interest in a variety of matters or there is not much hope for him.
 MT. Edison himself tried tho experi- ment of teaching by aid of the movies. He declares that he ''beat the schools on results"
 There seems to be little doubt but that the idea will be taken up eventual ly. IL is obvious that geography, for instance. would be Il subject in which pictures, taking the place of the maps which arc a constant source of perpleN- ity to children, would work wonders. And MT. Edison's theory tx sustained by the general ignorance Of geography.
 Mir. Edison is quoted with no apol- ogies. So apparent would be the good results from the suggestion he makes, and which has been made in the past in a less detailed way. that one won dcrs that the idea has not bcep crystal izcd into action.
 He says:
 "A man with powerful personality or a great newspaper could put that idea into effect. Some government organization, made up of men like those in the Bureau of Standards. which think about loo per cent. per feet. and free from political control, could get together some twenty or thirty thousand films Of different grades and subjects and sell them to the states for display in schools. This would make the schools attractive for the chil- drcn. and if VIC can do that we can ad- vance civilization about l 900 years in the next twenty. The big trouble our educators are facing it that the schools are repulsivc to the children. With motion picture courses of study you could fire the truant officers and the children would not be late"

MOTHERS DAY.

Question is sometimes raised whether tomorrow should be Mothers Day." meaning u day on which you honor the mothers in the land. or Mothers Day."-tho day you should think of your own mother-your day to do her especial homage.
 Whichever way it is taken 1t is one reminder of her who gave her best to you when you, a child or baby perhaps, failed to realize tho sacrifices she was making. the love she was bestowing.
 But Mothers Day seems to bring the significance of tho observance more closely to each individual. Were son and daughter to think of his or her own mother-were he or she to make some little sacrifice for her. there would come n greater appreciation, a greater realization of the days mean ing.
 There arc mothers in the country who have gone through the anguish of losing sons and daughters. None live to re- member them as their own. Sad they are. In remembering your own mother on this day to come. there goes out to tbcm an unconscious homage from you. The very atmosphere of a real mothers day surrounds them and brings back 10 them memories that neither you nor any other stranger to them might give They think of their own. They have no desire that profane hands touch those memories.
 Thus it is primarily a day of scnti- mcnt. of love. No man and no woman needs to be reminded of the debt. prac- teal and spiritual. they owe the mother who suffered and served all through Iifo for a stranger to dwell upon.
 But aside from the sentiment that comes with this occasion there is a practical side. What would n land be where every man and every woman spoke and acted as that mans or that woman's mother would have them speak and net?
 The mother. despite the halo that sur rounds thought Of her. is human-she is not perfect. perhaps. Yet. when she thinks of her children: when she sug- gcsts their course in life is not that course she would have them follow the best guide to truth. honor. modcsty nnd righteousness? Would not there come speedily the millennium? Were every man and every woman. before uttcring a word or taking auy action, to stop and ask: What would my mother have me do?" what different world would be this in which we live! How few would be the crimes: how splendid would be the lives of all!
 The hope of mother for her child. There can be no text so full Of possibil- ities for Joy. for pathos. for tragedy.

A CAMPAIGN FOR GOOD ROADS
Will Take ADVANTAGE OF
Every known Publicity Method.

Columbia, Aug. An intensive
publicity campaign for good roads is
being planned by the South Carolina
| Good Roads Association for the near
future. The organization will take
advantage Of every method known to
stress upon the people of the state
the necessity of permanent highways
being built by the state, it was said
! at meeting Saturday last.
The newspapers, the bill-boards,
the moving pictures and other agen-
cies will be used in the campaign.
Already posters are being printed
emphasizing the fact that "bad roads
cost more than good roads"
bad roads mean loss and isola-
ton; good roads mean prosperity and
communication" reads one of the
slogans being gotten out by the as
sociation. Another circular calls at
tention to the fact that, while other
states of the union are spending
enormous sums on state highways,
South Carolina is spending practic-
ally nothing by comparison.
eve are delighted with the re-
sponses that our appeals are meet
ing with" said President L. D. Jen-
nings. "The people of the state are
sending in their membership fees
right along. A big membership in
our organization means strong or
ganization, and every county in the
state should have large number of
active members. We want as mem
bers people who are really interested
in good roads and who will get out
and work when we call upon them. ("
President Jennings announced to-
day that B. H. Peace, president and
editor of the Greenville News, had
accepted the position of chairman for
Greenville county and will, at once
undertake the work of organizing
that county. Mr.. Peace is a good
I roads enthusiast and has given the
association strong support through
