VIENNA, QA., THURSDAY. September 7th, 1916.
JUD.DE GEORGE HIS
FINE CHANCE TO WIN
In response to the ringing of the
ehool bell Monday morning the larg-
it number of pupils and patrons as
sembled for the opening that has ever
been known to in the school’s history.
Before the doors were thrown open
the spacious entrance way
crowded almost to discomfort with
bright, happy children eager to en-
ter and begin their duties. There
' were lots of particularly happy fea
tures about this school opening. In
the first place, the marked increase
in the enrollment, then thp unusually
genteel and intelligent appearance of
f e student body, the splendid show
interest on the part of the patrons
who were present in large numbers,
u and the spirit of good fellowship that
'^availed among teachers, pupils and
visitors. The exercises were inter
esting and enjoyable, there were
several orchestra selections, a song,
a'quartette and several readings.
The invocation was made by Rev. A.
N. Morris. The program was brought
to a close with a short address from
Aprof. Strozier. Mr. Strozier directed
remarks largely to those of the
lienee who were to be under his
ipervision during the year, encour-
ing and advising them and espec-
lly urging them to climb up and ride
ith Ijjp on lis pet hobby which is
perfect preservation of the build-
and its equipment. Mr. Strozier
| has spared no effort to inspire his ju-
pts with anappreciation of the splen-
id building and furnishings and he
ts not labored in vain, for after two
rears use it now stands practically
sithout a defacing mark. This is slm-
,. ply one of the many things that make
E*7 high character and right princi-
>al which are encouraged by Prof.
Itrozier in' his school work. He
rlcsed his remarks with a few instruc-
ions in regard to the work of classi-
ication and general adjustment to be
lone during the day.
| The different departments, music,
>th violin and piano, expression and
are being largely patronized and
rery condition is indicative of a high
ly successful school year.

NUMBER 6
STATE PRIMARY -
NEXT TUESDAY
MORE THAN DOZEN CANDI
DATES IN RACE FOR COURT
OF APPEALS.
For some time now the boll weevil
has teen a widely discussed topic.
That a branch of this family would
ultimately take up its abode in Dooly
hat been a matter of conjecture it is
true, but in the minds of those who
have been studying the activities of
the little animal in other sections,
there has been little doubt that they
would sooner or later migrate to this
particular section which furnishes
them such an inviting prospect with
tile abundance of cotton it produces.
It is no longer a matter of conjec
ture, however, for the weevil is here
—the genuine Mexican breed, leaving
its damaging effect in ite trail. It is
not known to what extent they have
invaded Dooly, they .are here suffi
ciently strong in number, however, to
make the 101? crop an uncertainty.
Mr. F. J. Lewis was the first to
bring the genuine weevil to town he
found a goodly number on his own
place and that of his brother, Mr. Gen
ie Lewis, he also brought in a number
ot the punctured squares which show
the destructive work of the weevil.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug.—Five more days
of whirlwind finish campaigning and
then the battle of ballots in the state
election will tell the tale of victory
and defeat for so many different can
didates that a fellow can hardly enu
merate on count them all
On nextTuesday, September s, the
Democratic voters of Georgia, in the
white primary will elect a governor,
state house officials, members of the
legislature and congressman, and two
weeks later the convention will be
held in Macon.
In addition to these, they will elect
three judges to fill the newly created
places on the court of appeals, fog
which three places more than a dozen
candidates are running.
Of course the governor's race car
ries more interest than all the rest,
and the closer the approach of election
day the more doubtful the result of
this contest.
Throughout the state judging from
the comments of the press and reports
brought in by politicians, Harris sen
timent has boon growing rapidly for
the last three weeks, and the govern
or’s supporters are predicting that he
will go into the convention with more
votes than any of his opponents.
In the legislative contests in the
various counties there is not only keen
local interest, but there Is an issue
that concerns the entire state. Anti
prohibition candidates have taken
the field against legislators who voted
for the prohibition laws, where the
latter are running for reelction, and
if the liquor interest succeed in put
ting across a sufficient number of
their friends they will launch an at
tack on the prohibition law* in the
next session of the legislature.
