What would the world be without the wonderful mothers ? Would it be worth 'living in? Would it be at all worth while? No — of course we know it would be a very cold, dreary, unat tractive world. White and red flowers are to be worn in her honor. White flowers /or * mothers who have gone to live forever in the presence of the King, red flow ers for the mothers still living. These living mothers are worthy of all.,.the •homage their children can be.stow. We should all realize what a pre vious thing is mother’s love, and what a priceless thing is mother’s counsel and devotion. Ibe mothers are the constant and patient friends of the wayward and the fallen. When all oth er friends vanish, in times of peril and of woe, the mothers remain stead fast and true. Her love never changes, regardless of how wayward the s9n or daughter may* become. You may for get her, but she never forgets you. It will be an odd, unappreciative .son or daughter who permits her day Ao pass without some message, some greeting to the living mother. And. ttSose whose mothers have gone, real ize what a precious boon has passed 'from their lives and cherish her now and always as a beloved memory. Mother’s Day is just what it should be—a dear, intimate day to be cele brated in our hearts and homes. of the people and to intensify the dis satisfaction clearly shown by the large group of patrons recently a.ssembled in meeting here. The only- objective that' ean posoiWy he gai«ed- by- 4he^ amendment (throwing the schools into a primary) will be to wrest control of 'the schools out of the'hand.s of a ma jority ‘of the taxpayers. . What is behind the move? Who are its agitators? Are the ppftple’s eyes blinded? Why set such a precedent? There is not a school district in the county that selects its trustees in a primary. We doubt if there is one in the enlire state. Then why single out Clinton? Why say that you Clinton people must have a primary to settle this question while all other districts in the county must select their trustees under a gen eral electioft law? People everywhere, we say, ftre asking—why this school fight on ,Clinton? Why 'single out' Clinto^ and put it under a set-up en- tirely^ifferont from all other districts e county? The delegation has not club for a trial and. it turned out so from our trust as Executors. fine, they mought go on a reggular program ansoforth. the glee club consists of the follow- ering: miss jennie veeve smith, man ager and mouth-organ blower, sudie lou Clark, pianna player, dudd Clark, fiddler and banjo picker, and scudd Clark, strawbeater. mr. mike Clark, rfd, basso, allso slight of hand actor, and cat skinner.

Certainly it behooves the people of the South to lead the world in per capita consumption of its naUye product. We are asked to think cotton,, buy cotton, wear cotton, boost cotton. The whole idea is a plan to increase the consumption of cotton and cotton goods—a definite step in the right di rection to stimulate business in a whoJesome way.

It is based on common sense to demon strate the present extraordinary op portunity to buy all types of cotton goods.

Cotton goods of all kinds offer excetional values for consumers. Industries and individuals are ad justing themselves to a new condition. Cotton meets the demands of this change by providing greater values than ever. 2. Summer is the logical season for using more cotton. * The public knows that cotton noftr has greater fashion prestige than' it has enjoyed for many years. Design ers in Paris and in this country have turned the spotlight of fashion on cot tons this year more strongly than ever before. Consequently the actual and latent demand for styled merchan dise has been greaily stimulated. 3. The record of recent eiponomic depressions shows that improvement in the textile industry is now jminting the way to an upturn in other lines of business.
