Aiken Journal and Review.

The arrest of a minister, in
the upper section of the state, for
violation of the national prohibi-
ton act is the latest. The minis.
ter was arrested Sunday night,
October 1St, for having in his
possession a quart Of corn whis-
key, which was carried in the
same bag with two Bibles. This
arrest took place after prohibi-
ton Observation-Disclosures

Against that minister, by the

ing clergymen who practice daily
in their lives thelessons that they
teach. This parade of the weak
wllled unfortunate teacher who
fel! does not lessen the fact that
drink is a raw curse of the land,
and the holding up to ridicule OF
the poor weakllng who tripped
by the waysIde cannot and does
not gid or garnish the booze
bottle, the booze maker or the
bootle2ger. Rather, in our opin-
ion, such exposition only serves
with smarting sting to show
the cruel fangs of the snake. The
mountaineer Baptist preacher
caught with "moonshine" in his
Bible sack is no sample of the
great army of Christian gentle
men who are fighting the liquor
curse for the salvation of mems
souls. Why search the bin for

WITH THE POETS

Did you ever watch the sunbeams
AT play among the flowers9
Or ever see the little stars
A-shining after showers2
think the little children
Were made for shining too,
To make this old world brighter,
Don't you?
Have you ever seen the lambkins
Out in green meadows frisking?
Or spied gay red squirrel
Along the branches whisking?
think the little children
Were made for playing, too,
Because they're happy-hearted
Don't you?
Gid you ever see the farmer
His sheaves of ripe wheat bindingP
Or ever catch the miller
Just when the corn was grinding2
think the little children
Were made for working, too,
To be the big folks helpers,
Don't you?
Did you ever find your pussy
Upon the hearth rug sleeping?
Did you ever watch the chickens
When darkness comes a-creeping?
think the little children
Were made for sleeping, too,
When each long day is over,
Don't you?

MASS MEETING ENDORSES
SCHOOL PROGRAM
Citizens of Monet Enthusiastic Over
Building Program of Board Of
Education. Bond Election Called.

The Board of Education Of Monet
school district has called bond cleo
tion for May 19. for the purpose of
carrying out the building program on
which they have been working for
some time. A mass meeting called by
them for Wednesday night to consider
the proposition, showed that the citi-
zens of the town were enthusiastically
in favor Of the plans as outlined.
The bad weather restricted the at
tendance but what was lacking in
number was more than made up in
pep and enthusiasm.
After the Board Of Education had
laid their program before the meeting
Mr.. Heckenlively, the architect, eX-
planned the preliminary plans of the
mew school buildings.
T. Z. EngleTnan, superintendent OF
schools, then made plain the needs OF
our school system as whole. The
proposed senior high school and its
needs was discussed by Lester V,
Galbraith, principal Of the high school
Fred Seamster, principal Of the Cen
trail school, next told what was needed
for a junior high school and the adj
vantages to be gained by the same.
The building proposition of the
board is to build two ward schools
similar to the Forest Park building,
one upon the present site of the
Marshall illNschool, and one upon the
present site of the Central school.
Also to build new school on the
'grounds of the present high school
lust east Of the present building. The
new high school will contain a gym
nasium and large auditorium The
present high school will then be con-
verted into junior high school.
The proposition was received by the
audience with great interest and en-
thusiasm, and was endorsed by many
enthusiastic speeches by both men and
women. These speeches were follow
cd by motion in the form of reso-
luton endorsing the Program Of the
board and promising the undivided
support Of those present.
The board felt SO much encouraged
that meeting was called immediate
ly and the bond election was author
lied.
The proposed school improvements
will place Monett's school system on
equal rank with any in the state in
town this size.
