DELIGHTFUL MEETING
OF MOTHERS* CLUB
A very delightful meeting of The
Mothers* Club wot held on Friday
afternoon with Mrs. M. B. Hipp, of
Newberry, as hostess. The study of
Famous Homes proved very interest
ing and roll call was answered with
the name of such. Mrs. T. L. W. Bai
ley gave an interesting account of
M Mt. Vernon,** as did also Mrs. Ellis
of “Arlington/* and Mrs. John Lit
tle of “Monticello.” “Rosemont” was
generally discussed. Mrs. Hipp serv
ed a delightful salad course and iced
tea to the guests of the afternoon:
Mesdames H. M. Young, J. Lee
Young, J. H. Hunter, T. L. W. Bailey,
J. Will Dillard, H. D. Rantih, T. J.
Blalock, Geo. H. Ellis, John Spratt,
L. D. McCrary, Frank Adair, John
Little, L. B. Dillard, Oswald Cope
land, Duncan Johnson, Forest Sum
the father and mother, to whom
grateful filial affection is due, are
honored alike, but it seemed proper
that a great home celebration should
bear the name of “mother.” It was
believed that men would as loyally
share in the celebration of such a
home day as the women, in this and
other countries, and they have en
thusiastically entered into the cele
bration of the many days in honor
of men.
. The establishment of Mothers’ Day
has not trespassed on the work of
other movements, its development be
ing along original and lofty lines and
it is worthy of the loyalty of every
man, woman and child, and of the co
operation of every organization which
stands for the uplift, betterment and
honor of the home.

Peake, J. F. Jacobs, J. A. Chandler,
W. J. Bailey, Roger Coe, Pringle

E. C. Robinson, and Miss Emmie
Robertson. An attractive salad
course with punch was served.
THE SEARCH FOR GOD
I took a day to search for God,
And found Him not. But as I trod
By rocky ledge, through woods un
tamed.
Just where one sarlet lily flamed,
I saw His footprints in the sod.
Then suddenly, all unaware,
Far off in the deep shadows, where
A solitary hermit thrush
Sang through the holy twilight hush—
I heard His voice upon the air.
. And even as I marvelled how
God gives us Heaven here and now,
In a stir of wind that hardly shook
/ The poplar leaves beside the brook—
His hand was light upon my brow.
At last with evening as I turned
Homeward, and thought what I had
learned
And all that there was still to probe—
I caught the glory of his robe
Where the last fires of sunset burn
ed.
Back to the world with quickening
start
I looked and longed for any part
In making saving Beauty be . . .
And from that kindling ecstacy
I knew God dewlt within my heart.

MEMORIAL TO OUR VETERANS
(Written by a Fourth Grade Boy at
™ Thornwell Orphanage)
This is a memorial time to our sol
diers brave —^
Who fought to keep the bonnie blue
flag awave.
They fought for their rights
Thru days and thru nights
Of cannon and guns bursting on.
Thru the South like a cyclone.
Day by day, they fought their way
Till many an enemy they did slay,
slay.
But the battle was renewed
Till our forces were subdued.
Each battle led to the grave
Those who fought, our flag to save.
Now the Confederates are so few.
Yet their honors are still due,
Tho their deeds be great or small,
Tho they be few, God bless them all.
—William Care Campbell.
Thornwell, May 5, 1924.
The History Of
Mothers’ Day
The movement for Mothers’ Day,
the second Sunday in May of each
year, owes its origin to Mrs. Anna
M. Jervis, who is known as the
“Mother of Mothers’ Day.” Definite
form and international force were
given to her work by her daughter,
Miss Anna Jervis, founding the spec
ial day, and by the organization of
the Mothers’ Day International asso
ciation.
Mothers’ Day was so called to
honor the home and motherhood in a
manner as distinctive as the nation-,
al holidays celebrate the patriots,
heroes, and events in the nation’s
history. Mothers’ Day is J os. __ _ C
“Fathers’ Day,” for in its celebration ji OuQ; tuOIlC D*
gated by the Mothers’ Day Interna
tional association, are:
(1) To promote the well-being of
the home by endeavoring to influ
ence nations, organizations, church
es, Sunday schools^, individuals and
communities to realize their personal
responsibility to right the wrongs of
motherhood, childhood and the indus
trial world in their relations to the
home. To deepen and perpetuate
family ties, and to develop those do
mestic virtues which mean higher
homes, religious and national life,
that is, to make Mothers* Day a per
sonal day. in the hearts and lives of
men, women and children in all lands
that it may endure as of ptactical
benefit to humanity.
(2) To secure workers and finan
cial aid to effect a world-wide ob
servance of Mothers’ Day, and to
carry forward the all-year uplift
work of the Mothers’ Day Interna
tional association.
Manner of observing Mothers’ Day:
Mothers’ Day should be observed in
the home, church, Sunday school, pub
lic schools, by societies, and in the
community generally in such a way
as to give emphasis to the fact that
true homes are a high exemplifica
tion of practical Christian life and
patriotism. The Mothers’ Day Inter
national association prepared helpful
supplies, and issues annually an of
ficial program which gives a form of
observance in line with the work of
being carried forward. The use of
this program aids the universal and
proper celebration of Mothers’ Day.
Besides the mothers and fathers there
are others to be - remembered on
Mothers’ Day—the lonely, discourag
ed, the “down and out,” the unfor
tunate in homes, institutions and
prisons, and all who need a word of
cheer, sympathy or other evidence of
the brotherhood. of man.
Time: Churches, Sunday schools,
fraternal societies, and all other or
ganizations that can have a Sunday
observance of Mothers* Day, celebrate
it on the second Sunday of May.
Schools, .colleges, etc., celebrate on
the Friday preceding, while business
organizations, clubs, etc., give recog
nition of the day on the Saturday
preceding. The display of the Tui
tion’s colors as well as the distribu
tion of the Mothers’ Day emblem
have been featurCb of the day’s ob
servance. In 1910 a number of cities
in the United States celebrated Moth
ers’ Day, and in 1913 it was observed
in nearly every city, town or village
in Canada and the United States. In
1914, by act of congress, the second
Sunday of May was officially desig
nated as the National Mothers’ Day.
Emblem: The Mothers’ Day em
blem is the white carnation. It was
chosen as the international memory
flower of home and country because
it seems to represent some of the
virtues of motherhood—its whiteness
symbolizing purity; its fragrance,
love; its extensive growth, charity,
and ita endurance, fidelity. An of
ficial white carnation badge ia pre
pared by the Mothers’ Day Interna
tional association that the same
badge may be worn in all countries
by all who observe Mothers’ Day.
Membership in the Association:
The Mothers’ Day International asso
ciation desires sons and daughters of
all lands to give recognition to the
Mothers* Day movement by using the
time, wearing the emblem and. em
ploying the program officially desig
nated, and by membership in the as
sociation, and thus advance the world
wide and simultaneous observance of
Mothers’ Day.

Governor Brough < v
Favors Robinson
Says Democratic Senate Leader Will
Be Nominated. Likely Dark
Horse.
Williston, May 1.—Former Govern
or Charles H. Brough of Arkansas,
who opened the Redpath Atlantic
Chautauqua circuit at Williston last
night by his lecture on “America’s
Leadership of the World,” and who
was recently selected as one of the
delegates at large to the Democratic
national convention from Arkansas,
predicted nomination of Senator.Jos
eph T. Robinson of Arkansas by the
National Democracy as its candidate
for president, and when interviewed
made the following statement:
“Neither of the leading candidates—
McAdoo, Smith nor Underwood—can
possibly muster the necessary two-
thirds vote in the New York conven
tion and a “dark horse” will unques
tionably be nominated. Of these
“dark horses,” Senator Robinson will
enter the convention in a command
ing position. As the able minority
leader of the United States senate, a
brilliant orator and debater, able to
make a strenuous nationwide cam
paign, only 52 years of age, and,
therefore, in the prime of life, one of
the few available possibilities who
can unite all elements of his party,
dry and progressive. Senator Robin-
’son occupies a position of unusual po
tential strength. All the candidates
and the leaders of the party can
agree on him, rfnd if nominated, in
my opinion, he will unquestionably
defeat President Coolidge and can be
depended on to carry on the wonder
ful idealism of the immortal Wood-
row Wilson.”
In his lecture Governor Brough
characterized Woodrow Wilson as “a
statesman combining the patriotism
of a Washington, the philosophy of
a Jefferson, the constructive genius
of a Hamilton, the courage of a Jack-
son, a Cleveland and a Roosevelt, the
sweet charity of a Lincoln, a McKin
ley and a Harding, and the judicial
temperament of a Taft.”

IT DOESN’T BLOOM BUT ONCE
A YEAR.
Get Edgar Todd’s
{Brices on Fertilizer be
fore you buy. Edgar
Recently a man built a new house
upon a lot that had been planted for
years with shrubbery—lilacs, sweet
springs, forsythia, and spires. One
particularly beautiful group of shrubs
formed a screen between his porch
and a full view of the street. He
chopped this all down, for he said,
“They don’t bloom but once a year,
so they are no good.”
TO BE A CHILD
“Know you what it is to be a child ?
It is to be something very different
from the man of today. It is to be
lieve in love, to believe in loveliness,
to believe in belief; it is to be so
little that the elves can reach to
whisper in your ear; it is to turn
pumpkins into coaches, and mice into
horses, lowness into loftiness, and
nothing in everything, for each child
has its fairy godmother in its own
soul; it is to live in -a nut shell and
to count yourself the king of infinite
space; it is
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
It ia to know not as yet that you
are under sentence of life.
—Francis Thompson-Shelley.
Queen Mary has taken a great lik
ing for Mias Ishbel Macdonald, the
twenty-one year old daughter of the
Labor Prime Minister.
