Sunday Schools
Of State Observe
Mothers Day May l |

A Statewide observance of Moth
er's Day, which comes May II this
year, and Of Mother and Daughter
Week, May II to Is, is being promo
ted by the Georgia Sunday School As
ISOLATION from it's Atlanta office.
About Is years ago the celebration
Of the second Sunday in May was OBJ
served as Mothers Day in a number
of cities, towns, and villages of Amer
ica, the movement having been foun-
ded by Mrs. Anna Jarvis of Phila-
delphia. In 1914 by act of Congress
this Sunday was officially dedicated
as National Mothers Day." The
Mothers Day emblem is the white
carnation.
In its promotion of the observance
of Mothers Day and Mother and
Daughter Week the Georgia Sunday
School Association has prepared a
program for the Sunday School and
the church, which can be obtained
upon application, and also list of
suggestions for mother and daughter
banquets, luncheons, and teas. A
number of these programs have been
mailed over the State by Mr.. R. D.
Webb, general superintendent, and
Mr.. Webb feels that there will be a
wider observance of the day and
week this year than ever before in
Georgia.
According to Mr.. Webb, the pur-
pose of mother and daughter week is
four-fold:
To give the mother better un-
derstanding and appreciation of her
daughter. II ~
To give the daughter a better un-
derstanding and appreciation of her
mother.
To help both mothers and daugh-
tiers to find in the church and church
school a channel for the expression
of their finest selves, thus securing
in the work and support of the church
their cooperation.
To bring to a focal point the COM
munity-wide interest in mother and
daughter relationships.

POWDER SPRINGS
BOYS ORGANIZE
A SCOUT TROUP
Sixteen Boys Make Up First Pa
troll. Rev. Fred H. Ray
Scoutmaster

A troop Of Boy Scouts has recent
ly been organized at Powder Springs.
The troop has two patrols, or 10
boys. Those in charge are as fol-
lows: Rev. Fred H. Ray, Scoutmas-
ter; J. B. Oglesby, C. H. Lindley and
Dr. F. P Lindley, Troop Committee;
H. C. Miller, M. D. Mobley and Floy
Mobley, Assistant Scoutmasters; Geo.
Pate and Roy Steel, Patrol Leaders.
The old postoffice building has
been secured and made into a splen-
did hut for their meetings.
On Friday evening, April 18th, the
troop was formally organized, Mr.. J.
B. Oglesby, cashier of the bank be-
ing in charge. He presented the
Scoutmaster and his assistants with
their commissions and each Scout
with his certificate of membership.
On Friday evening, April %, this
troop went down to Atlanta in body
as the guest of troop No. Is of At
lanta, and was most royalty enter
tanned. 1t was very noticeable that
there was new spirit in the Boy
Scouts there that is not found in
many circles outside of the Scouts.
Every arrangement is being made
by Scoutmaster Ray and his assis-
tants to carry the troop on a big
camping trip in the Blue Ridge noun
tains the third week in July.
On next Saturday there will be
held at local Scout headquarters a
big sale of genuine Indian hand made
relics, fresh from the forests of
Maine. Ice cream will be served all
day to keep one from becoming lost
amid the wilds of his imagination as
ne becomes enchanted with the sweet
wild perfume of baskets, wild life
decorations and Indian memories.
Proceeds from the sale will 90 to
carrying out activities of the Bow
Scout program.
1t is hoped by those who have the
work in charge that there will not be
parent who will object or a boy
who will not join, as there is no or
ganization in America that does in
reality that which the Boy Scout or
ganization does.
Registration fee is SOC on entering
and sc per week, local troop dues.
Hikes, camp life, scouting and games
OF real sport go to make the social
side of the work complete.
A Scout baseball team has already
been organized, and will soon have
it's glove in the ring for a contest
with troops of adjoining towns.

see fit to return me to this Office again
for another two years l promise you
here and now that i shall always be
ON the lookout for your interest and
shall continue to let the office really
serve the people.
My worthy opponent charges me
with trying to break the democratic
principles in Randolph county. But
what is Democracy? Is it not the rule
of the people? When the people have
spoken is not that Democracy? There
is nothing at all in democratic princi-
pies against continuing a man in office
if he is efficient and the tax payers
desire to keep him on the job. The
Father of our Country" did not refuse
a third term as president of the us.
because he felt that it was undemocra-
tic, or that it would not be to the best
interest of the new Republic-not that
at all. Washington did not want the
first term, much less the secOnd-it
was thrust upon him, and he refused
the third term not because he felt that
it would be undemocratic, but he ex-
pressed himself as being tired Of public
life and longed for the quietude Of his
immense plantation at Mt. Vernon.
In Randolph county it has been the
custom, in most cases, to give a man
but two terms in the same Office, but
while that has been true il has also
been customary to ass him over to
some other Office and continue him in
Office for an Indefinite period of time
provided he kept rotating. For ex-
ample : Judge Witt, Mont Armstrong,
Uncle Ben Spikes, Ben A. Brown. Dee
Mock and Others-all of whom served
you well. Why, ladies and gentlemen,
ii has been the custom for many years
in this state to continue its county
officials for an indefinite period of time
If they proved efficient. For example /:
Mr.. e. w. King, county clerk of Lee
County, is serving his sixteenth year
and is at this time candidate for re-
election without opposition. II. b. Ay-
Ter, clerk of Baxter county is serving
his 10th year and many other officials
in different parts of the state are be-
ing continued in Office as long as they
serve faithfully and well, and don't
you believe that you would get better
service by continuing man in the
same Office for a longer period of time
Pocahontas star herald., 1924-08-08

try to continue in this Office for an
undue period of time but do feel that
| am in a position to take care Of your
interest for another two years.
In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen,
let me say that If ] have given you the
service that you like and have been to
you what you think that / should have
been l shall appreciate another en-
dorsement and assure you that l shall
never give you cause TO regret having
supported me. Your servant,
