The pianist and singer fur nished able support to the violinist who was the Strength of the company. Her interpretative, skill and brilliant execution gave her a distinctive place in the world «f music. This musical virtuoso—for such'she is—convinced her hearers that a violin is not an “inanimate thing” and that it . does possess, not perhaps a soul, but something that vibrates in response to a soul that speaks to it through a touch. Dr. Culp followed the musi cians with an address, his subject for the afternoon being “The Soul of a Child.” The speaker brought to light many interesting and . psycho logical trilfhs in his discussion of. a child and its limitations. Those who followed Dr. Culp in his afternoon and evening lectures were given a new insight into child life.

From there he moved to Quitman and later to this city where he has lived with his family for about ten years. The deceased was a member of the Methodist church and was known by those most closely associated withy him to possess a beautiful spirit of liberality.

I The time {me come for a forward tovement in educational work in >ly coflnty. We begin this week educational 'campaign such as has ever before been made in this coun ty. We are gping to discuss all ques tions that bear upon progress in edu- ■ mal matters, having- as 'the ob- in view county-wide tax for our tools, realizing the fact that this is only possibls way of building up our schools to that high stand ard Which will prepare our boys and girls for the important and impera tive dstaila that will soon rest upon them.. We know the people of Dooly coun ty are progressive in educational mat ters. Many districts in the county have shown this by voting local tax to support their schools. But cer tainly this is not the best plan. The schools in.these various local tax dis tricts are better than others where they are not supported by local tax’, yet they arc not what they ought to be and never will be until we get the county unit when they can be sup ported, by the whole county. I am. sure there are some people who oppose local tax because they really do. not know what it means and do not care to investigate! A very careful investigation should be made of this question by every voter. It is an awful responsibility to oppose , measures looking to the betterment ojLachobisr without making an inves- ■ tigation. This matter should receive as careful study as the business men gives to a manufacturing enterprise in which he is about to invest his money.

While it ia important to get iqen for other branches of the aer- in an appropriate and most impress- vice, the need of the Navy for en listed men is immediate. Owing to the shortage of officers and men of the regular Nayy, it is a physical im possibility for the Navy to recruit the men heeded with the requisite speed. It is impossible for the Navy Department; to furnish recruiting lit erature, posters, pamphlets, etc., fast enough. It is therefore necessary that thousands of patriotic people, both men and women, who wish to help their country at the present time, take steps to obtain men for the nav*y. i' Doctors can render, valuable service by volunteering to conduct prelimi nary examinations at the home of.'the ollowing plan is suggested for locality: a committee having repre- from all thet owns and vil- .istrict selected. ittee' collects funds, iples of recruiting etc., from the near ice and have these Williams wore elected /delegati the Washington reunioh. and Geo.
