CARD FROM E. C. HARRIS
In the Public Ledger c? May 27th
the Editor stated that it seemed there
WHS wore or le jc. ■ se ve’.y consulted
with the candidates for the Board of
Education, and mentioned my name |
AS one of the probable candidates.
I wish to say that I did not in any
way seek the candidacy. Now, that
l have been chosen as one of the
aondidates for nomination, I will say
that so fas as I know or believe there
bat been no secrecy connected with
it, J further wish to say if the peo
ple Of the county wish me to be
Dominated and cast their vote for me
l want them to do so with the dis
tinct understanding that I am not,
and never have been opposed to good
Schools an<j I shall not attempt to do
anything that would lower the stan
dard of our schools, and 1 am not
after the “scalp” of any man or set
Of men. I think our schools should |
be run on as economical basis as pos- I
eible and that our people should I
Jjjjow the proceedings of each meet
ing of the Board as much so as the J
monthly meeting of the Board of,
County Commissioners. If the good j
people of the county see fit to elect
me, I promise them that they shall *
hnow the proceedings of each month- j
ly meeting unless the law positively ;
forbids my doing so. Vote for me
Or not, as you see fit, I have no spec
ial axe to grind. E. C. HARRIS, j

[Successful Farmers Ar€
i The Well Educated Ones
Education and money-saving by
farmers are shown to be related in
a study conducted by the Department
of Agriculture. The best money
savers were found to have the most
schooling. The poorest accumulators
had the least schooling.
Owner farmers, generally speak
ing had attained a higher grade in
school than tenants, and tenants
had attained a higher grade than
croppers. School advantages of the
wives of members of the various
groups studied paralled those of
their husbands. It was also found
that the children over 21 years of
owner farmers had attained a higher
grade in school than the children of
corresponding groups of tenants. A
similar advantage on the side of the
children of tenant farmers appeared
when they were compared with the
children of croppers.
The relationship between education
and money-saving is on that fre
quently spans -two or more genera
tions, as when a father’s large
money-saving ability means that his
children receive not only better
schooling, but larger financial back
ng and endowment.—California Cul
:ivator.

In Remembrance Of Our Dear Mother
Mrs. W. J. Overton.
Three months ago today our hearts
were broken with grief
When an angel came on Tuesday
m nrn
i • On purest wings of love
I And took our dear mother
! And carried her home above.
I
| Yes„mama is safe at home in heav
en,
She has lain life’s burden down.
She wears a robe of spotless white
And a starry golden crown.
Farewell, mama, thou art gone
Where many mansions are
And if we are only faithful
We shall in those mansions share. (
!
Again farewell, dear mama,
We hope some day to meet i
Around the throne in heaven i
At our blessed Saviour’s feet.
Beneath the shadow of the state-,
ly oaks in the beautiful church yard
at Corinth, where her face and form
had often been seen from earliest
years attending divine worship, ten
er loving hands laid her away to rest j
with song and prayer until the dawn
of the last day when the trufnp shall
thrill us with its warning and the
master shall come in great power to ,
claim his own. She waits in the j
beauty of salvation for the coming of j
all she loved and for the coming of |
all for whom she prayed.

'now come let us
i REASON TOGETHER!
- I
j There is too much feeling enter- j
;ing into this primary of June 7th. j
Whoever is guided by feeling and not |
by reason is almost sure to commit
error. u
I Our system of schools is attacked i
because as ha$ been said, too much
money has been, spent on them.
| The average child can not make a
grade in a school year by the old
system of small short term schools.
A teacher to the every one grade of
school" child is the only hope to make ;
a grade in the term of school year j
we have. This teacher-to-the-grade !
brings continuous drill. This is the j
only way to perfect any chil in a I
grade so that when he is said to have
made a grade, it will mean what you
say. I am a countryman with a
country man’s handicaps in schooling
my children. The present system of
schools as conducted by the present
board 9/ education is the country
man’s only hope 'for his children to
take their places in competition with
those who have this or even better
systems of training. I say ‘better”
because the present Board ack
nowledges that the system is not
perfected; but it is clear to me that
I with the perfection of the system
they have started every country boy
I and girl will be the peer of his or
her town cousin. This is the object I
1 of the system—equality of opportun
Jitay. Let every countryman who
i wishes to see his son or daughter
..trained say that their minds, which
'are just as good as their town cous
'ins, shall have a chance for the real
! training, and not just be said to have
been in school so many years, as
iwill be the case if we do away with
the present system. The old school is
inferior. All any voter needs to do
to be convinced of this is to think
long enough to analyze the old sit
uation of the child and analyze the
present, and then contrast. They
do not compare. It’s nothing but
specializing in teaching. Better
trained boys and girls are the pro
duct of this specializing, and there
| are ten to one more of tnem by tuis
system than by the old system
| This writer served 14 years on the
Board of Education and does not be
lieve the brightest man in the county
lean understand the needs of the
i school under two years of closest
| study. Hence without prejudice to 1
any one it is believed it will be dan
gerous to elect a m,w board.

POWER OF COMP. INT.
(Thrift Magazine)
We often hear that Peter Minuet
; in 1626 paid the Indians only $24
j for Manhattan Island. We are apt
j to think of this as a ridicuously small
; [sum for What is today the most val
||uable piece of land of its size in the
j |world; but we do not stop to think
-that if this original $24 had been in
vested by Peter Minuet at the rate
i[of 7 per cent per annum and com
[ pounded every six months to date, it
would have earned a sum, equivalent
to the assessed value of the entire
city of New York, so it is said, in
cluding its streets, sewers, rail
jways, subways, theaters, hotels,
skyscraper and palatial homes.

RESOLU TIONS
AN APPRECIATION
! _
: By the Philathea Class of Mt. Zion
i Baptist Church of Mrs. Elmore
j Gooch.
j Hattie Thomas Gooch was born
October 22, 1879. Her parents died
j while she was very young, and she
made her home with her grand
mother. She connected herself with
Trinity Methodist church while a
|child and remained a member until
her death.
| She was married to Elmore Gocoh
,on March the third nineteen hundred
land four. Their home life was hap
jpy and beautiful. Three children
were born, Beatrice, Zelina and
:Ella who preceeded her mother to
■ the grave nine years ago.
She had been in declining health
for ten years, but she bore her suf
fering like she lived, with gentle
ness and courage. Although lfie
was dear to her, she was ready when
the end came on April the sixteenth,
nineteen hundred and twenty four.J
Be it therefore resolved by the
Philathea Class:
1. That we mourn the death of J
sister Gooch as the going of a cheer
ful and happy worker, a faithful
Christian and a servant of God, whose
work has been a great benefit to our j
class.
2. That in her death this com
munity has lost one of its best mem- J
bers, but whose character will re
main as an example to those who are
trying to do good.
3. To the family of our deceased
sister we extend the sympathy of j
the entire class and for them pray
the blessings and comfort of our
heavenly father. i

The Studebaker Light-Six!
The World's Largest

Quality Automobiles
$1045
f* o* b. factory
More are sold than of any other six in
the thousand-dollar price class!
Move because—it is the sweetest, smoothest-running
Six you ever drove. Its specially designed offse. va ve
motor, its machined crankshaft, its four big crankshaft bear
ings, its perfectly precisioned cylinders, pistons and rec.pro
eating parts are the reason.
More because—no other car in its price class shows such
obvious indications of quality—genuine leather upholstery, a
hand-tailored top and curtains, carefully selected detans o
equipment, lustrous baired enamel finish.
More because—its 40-horsepower motor, its correct gear ratio,
its beautiful balance and low center of gravity, make it 1 e
lightning in the “get-away,” never failing on a hill, and e 01
less under a full load on any reasonable road.
More because—it is backed by a great service organisation,
immediately and willingly accessible.
More because-its recognized used car value protects you with
the lowest possible depreciation when you come to tra e *
To prove Its goodness by performance we will lend y j * a
Light-Six any day this week—come in and ask for it.
