The January 1926 envollment of' 1432 white pupils in' the county schools shows an increase of 1%2 pupils over the enroliment for January 1925. ! The February 1926 enrollment .shows an increase of 182 pupils ovpr; the enrollment for February 1925. The March 1926 enrollment shows an increase of 104 pupils over the énrollment for March 1925. : The combined enrollment for the months of January, February and March 1926, shows an average in-! creased enrollment of 153 pupils over the same three months of 1925., Likewise for the past six months, the average monthly increased en-' rollment shows a gain of 138 pupils in the county schools. The total enrollment in all thay county schools would show even a greater gain, but a fairer and more accurate method is to use the month-' ly enrollment The gain is more or less uniform throughout the county, with some schools slightly more effected than others, Three schools show a loss of only 16 pupils, while all other; schools show slight gains. i Some of the gain may be account ed for by a better attendance on the part of the pupils already in the county, but undoubtedly the gain is also accounted for by families moving from other sections on Crisp county farms. i Some few families who have! moved on Crisp county farms could - not move and get straight in time to put their children in school as is known to. be the ‘case with some fow ~families, otherwise the increase would have been a little more mark ed. ¥ » While the enrollment in the Cor dele public schools is still a- little - below normal, there are indications: - of a sufficient gain in the near fu | ture to bring the enrollment back up!' . and above the present number. The above information given by Supt. J. W. Bivins of the county | schools, but he also contends that it | likewise shows a tendency in the di. | rection of an increase in the white population unon the farms of Crisp I county. The above figures seem to ind; | cate that the increase has been steady and gradual for the past six months, and verfies the optimistic view taken by many that the county - of Crisp and this section of Georgia | are again forging to the front and l bound to increase more rapidly as the tide of population continues to CORDELE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1926 ASSEMBLY WILL DECIDE OUESTION OF ADJOURNMENT BOTH HOUSES WILL CONSIDER AT MORNING SESSION FRIDAY | TIME OF ENDING SESSION. { ATLANTA, Ga., April 8—(&)—, Resolutions for sine die adjournment next Wednesday at one o’clock was laid on the table until tomorvo' | when the bond opponents offered a substitute proposing adjournment at “noon tomorrow. : ~ The senate automatically adjourn-i ed at one o’clock while the motion to reconsider sine die adiournmenti - was pending and the motion will be taken up as unfinished business to- E morrow morning. | WALTER HEIRS WIFE AND N AUNT COME TO VISIT HERF | Friends here will be delighted with the announcement that Walter Heirs, , well known movie actor, his wife and his aunt, Mrs. Jehn A.

FARNEST APPEAY, . TMDEDQ 160 CHURCH MEMRERS EVANGELIST DIRECTS STRONG PLEADING TO THOSE WHO BE LONG TO CHURCH “The Sinner in the Camp” was the theme of Kvangelist Lovein at the Methodist church last night as he preached a powerful sermon on “Ach an”, from the book of Joshua; Tth chapter and 13th versz. The sermon ‘was a direct appeal to members of the church whese lives have heen in- I(vnnsislvm, with the high professions they had to make when thcy wer admitted injo the church. “It is mnot the man outside the church that we need to fear” said Mr. Lovein, “but it is the man or woman in the church. It was not an enemy outside the camp of Israel that brought defeat to the army of the Lord, but it was Achan, a soldier of Israel, who stole the garment and the golden wedge. “And if a man ever lived who had a chance to sin and get away with it without being detected, that man was _Save Your Baby Chicks & Put AVICOL, (4 in the drinking water ' Avicol iz grunranteed for the treatment and prevention of white diarrhoea or haby ehick cholera, Ea I'll 1‘1:.;-!1”:‘1"11'1 ’ir rlu . 50id Undez a Moneys i Back Guarantee, AVEROL StopsChickgDying | - STEAL’S DRUG STORE | PHONE NO. 1 American Newspapers Turn To Latin American Progress L AT TR S | COOLIDGE SPEAKS A | ! T OFIRST SESSION OF JOURNALISTS —_— ! TWENTY-ONE.. NATIONS. REPRE SENTED .IN PAN-AMERICAN' i NEWSPAPER UNION | . WASHINGTON, Apr. 8 (#)—With Presidzant Ceolidge zzs'_t'.hu principal gpeaker the first Pan-American con gress of journalists was embarked to day upon the task of studying various problems confronting thz press of the twenty-one republics represented with a viaw of working for a better understanding among their nations. Speaking of the increased inter change of news among the American nations in recent years, Mr. Coolidge declared this awakening of interest '.,_ 1 b en “one of the most important ‘factors in bringing about a hetter un t']“l‘flt‘)n(fill{.’,‘" of the several countries. ; “I venture the prediction,” he add ad, “that as a result of this congress 'the papers in the United States in K!';w future wiil present more complete and more accurate pictures of the cul tural and industrial progress of Latin America, and that the press of those { republics will give their readers a bet "ter understanding of the ideals ‘and purposes of the United States. . “If all our citizens here do not real o fully that T.atin America is as sorogressive as the Udited States; and it some Latin Americans, as 1 have been told is the case, are prone to fecl that this country ig interested in material - things alone, I am sure it may be explained by the lack of that knowledge which comes from person al contact through travel and hv the mutual inadaquacy of news reports of the significant facts and develop ments in the respective countries.” The Congress, Mr. Coolidge said, ‘should result in a better comprehen sion that, “after all, we of th. West lern Hemisphere are one people striv ing for a common purpose, animated i by common ideals and bound together [in a common destiny. Unto us has 4"l'-'?‘!1 begueathied the precious herit f}'lge and the high obligation of devel moping and consecrating a new world 11,0 the great cause of humanity.” Speaking particularly to the dele gates present from othor ccuntries, Mr. Conlidee expressed the hope that their vigit to this country “will he beneficial to you by reason of what you may learn of our general mode of life.’ | In referring to the ideals and the purpose of the Pan-American Union he said the newspapers “may do much to emphasize and. make more effec tive the cfforts of this organization to bring the United States and the Latin American republics into cloger bonds of mutual helpfulness.” Achan. No human eve saw what he did. Humanly speaking, it was ut terly impossible to detect him. DBut I warn you,” said the evangelist, “that yHhe eyes of God never cloge, nothing ‘nv:-r escapes his notice, God discov ‘ored Achan to Joghua and had Joshua destroy not Achan alone, but all that Lelonged to Achan.” " Mr. Lovein then made an earnest apncal to the members of the church | to separate themselves from the world yand to give themselves wholly to God !s0 that no charge of disloyalty could ‘be 12id to them, so that no responsi bility for failure might be luid in their hands. 1t is evident that these messares of the evangelist are going home to the large congregations who are hearing him and it is confidently oxrected that the whole city will bae influenced and stirved by his earnest Lappeals, MINISTER RESIGNS PARIS, Apr.
