ESTABLISHED 1866. YOU. XL. The Wayne Light Troop. Annual Icsfe:tioc. As the General Inspection of the local military organization, as provided lor by the regulations of the War Department of the United States aud conducted by a regular army officer, takes place on March 7th, or m other words on next Thursday, it may well deemed appropriate for use to make a few observations not only pertinent to the occasion but also somewhat, indicative as to the course that cur people should in future pursue as far as our local military organization, The Wayne Light Troop, is concerned. To begin with, when we take in to full consideration all the con ditions of our section of the state, our county and town, and while we have only once needed an arm ed force and may never need 01 e again, still the simple yet impor tant fact stands strougly in view to all that we here have had and now have a company of armed troops who .0 a very short time can be place into servic*, and that this is a very great protection to our entire section of the state, as likewise it is also a protection to every community in close prox imity to our town. In other words, the moral effect that a lo cal military organization has upon that element ot our population that is the most likely to become unruly or riotous, can scarcely be estimated, And it is for this con tinued protection of our homes from that menace that we here in the south are almost alone in any danger of, for that purpose if 110 other, should we unitedly maintain as we have a military organization here in Jesup. Not oj'y is the above true, but we know not on what day or at what hour lawlessness may break out in some of our neighboring towns, for riot and bloodshed, troiu racial or other causes, may take place anywhere at any time, aud hence this again constitutes a reason why we here in should continue to give our sup port to our local military organi zation which has now held its place on the state’s roster for some fifteen years. | And as a final argument, we submit that for patriotic reasons, if for no other, should our young meu renew their energies in this direction, and again bring organization to the front, for it is a fact that many that should now begiviug their hearty support to the Troop and hence should assist in giving character and strength to the organization are not doing so. Theburdeh, at present, of holding together a suffizient nnm her of the boys so that Troop “I” may continue to be a constituent part of the National Guard of of Georgia rests on but a very few shoulders. More of our young men should thus assist in making the organization the success it should be. In this connection there are a few thoughts that we wish to sub mit to our citizens in general to think and ponder over. Few peo pie here in Jesup have perhaps even thought that The Wayne Light Troop is the only organiza tion of its kind in the entire state of Georgia that receives ®hc Zt <0 i 0 [ a th I I “WE APPLAUD THE RIGHT AND CONDEMN THE WRONG.” JESUP, GA., FEBRUARY 28th, 1907. ! ly uo aid or support whatever 1 from th ) town in wh ieh it is lo cated, It is a deplorable fact I | that our citizens generally miiita- evince loss interest in their local r „ olguulza ,“‘ |‘ ionthan that shown j t oit BJn4 ()t - aay , th , r town fcft . aluCftl co(n?auy . The fact is, Troop “I” ha. existed rather 1 through 11 spite of the people than I their euu ,, urilge „„ nt and support, ^ nd it ^ j n (he face of ft!1 this I ,. f , gIoct 1hig ] ac kof general good enocrage ni e ut and assistance that the boys are quietly, energet ically aud enthusiastically going ah^ad making preparation for in spection, and they will 110 doutt on the 7th again pass through the ordeal smnin dy and happy. But the fol owing brings us to the point. 11 suggest that ibis coldue s, indirt, rence on the part of our people should change. All t he better element of our young j m n should assist in taking hold, assist iu recreating this company of Troopeis. assist in bringing up this organization to the very fore front of like organizations ot the state. And in this effort, our { yo men ghould have behind fhem , )otouly the good willf but | ^ the sohd morftl) pprponal and I financial support of our town government, of our leaders in business aud financial circles, our citizenship in general. An appeal along this liue the better, (he real patriotic im pulses of our young men not be in vain 1 A like anpeal the busmessTifterests and cial circle ofs our town likewise bear fruit! Why all leave this lethargy ot the past, whv riot relegate this to the rear, a»dagain all put shoulders 10 the wheel and thus unitedly and nately place Troop “I” of the Regiment of Cavalry, National Guard, to the very in the military circles of state? Why mot. do this? Our young men, our town offi cials, our business and financial leaders, out citizens in general have a patriotic duty before them in this matter, and to them all this appeal is made that they per form it.

Under the heading of “Geor gia’s Promiment Educators and Their work”, the Southern Educa tional Journal, published in At lanta, has the following article about Jesup’s able Superintendant of Schools and his work, illustra ted with a nuuiDer of appropriate cuts: “PiofessorW. D. Greene was born near Butler, Ga., August 25,1875. After having received such train ing as the country schools afford ed fifteen years ago, he entered th- Reynolds High School where lie prepared for college. Financial consider! tious, however, for a time deferred the attainment of his most cherished hopes, but af ter teaching three years in his na tive county aud iu the building where his literary career was be gun, the morning of a brighter day began to dawn upon him. I k He entered the Georgia State Normal School in 1898 arid wa9 graduated with the degree of Li centiate of Instruction in 1900. Having tasted already some of the responsibilities of the teacher’s life, he was still not satisfied, he turned his eyes toward ville, Teun., graduating at Peabody Normal College in 19)1. During that year he was one of two successful contestants for of two Peabody Scholars,^ ii}» which there were twenty-two petitors. This enabled him to tinue his work in the of [Nashville where he was ated iu 1908 with the degree Bachelor of Arts. “In the fall of 1908 he L bi s professioual career by pos ition as teacher of English and Mathematics in the School at Washington, Ga. a year’s work at Washington, wont to Eiberton, Ga., as pal of the High school In the swimmer of 1005 lie called from Eiberton to Jesup Superintendant of the Schools. It is here iu the freedom of his own initiative that his work has been done. “During the past few the Jesup Public Schools made marked progress in respect to attendance, establishment of a gopd school library, school room decoration, and placing in curriculum a first class scientific course with the necessary labora tory equipment. Iu acccmplish ing this work with a general re organization of the school system the efforts of Supeiuitendaut W. D. Greene have been directed to ward three specific ends: (1) that the Jeswp Schools may articulate with the country schools of Wayne county and that the Jesup High School may be in effect, if not in fact the County High School of Wayne; (2) that the course of study may also art d ilute w th that of the leading college? of the state; (8) that the Gaining given may be sufficient, liberal, practi cal, and thorough to prepare boys and girls for the duties of life. “There has been a considerable increase this term m the atten dance especn^i of non-resident students.

The ‘‘Basket Supper” and Washington’s Birthday exercises given by the Piney Grove school j last Friday night proved a success. The flag drill could hardly be ex celled by even a city school. The Caskets were sold for $112 which will be used in seating the school room. Very likely the Board will donate an equal amount, and with $64.00 about forty pupils could be comfortably seated.

The Bethel school resumed work again [Monday morning, with Prof. J P. Shedd as principal and Mis3 Blanche Morrison assistant, The school is in safe hands. The schools visited last week by the County School Commissioner were: Consolidate 1, taught by Miss Janie Arnett; Simpson (col) with Donnie Mitchell teacher: Madray, W. W. Waters teacher; New Hope, teacher, Miss Leila Casey; and Piney Grove taught by Miss Madge Long. Good work is being done in all these schools. The teachers are live, enthusias tic workers and are doing their part well and uobly. Most of the pupils seem to be earnest seekers after knowledge and are|quitt aud studious. About the greatest need in these schools at present is an awakening among trustees and patrons. This awakening must be brought about by the teacher aud should result iu the school houses being ceiled, seated, furnished with black boards and the floors tightened. Kind teacher, will you not strive earnestly to leave your school in better shape than you found it? Military Order. r Troop “I” ORDea No. 2.
