Much interest is being shown in
the Dooly County Sunday School
Convention which is to be held in the
Baptist Church, Lilly, Ga., on Satur
day and Sunday, July 28th and 29th.
Most of the Sunday School workers
of the county are familiar with the
work of the County Sunday School
Association which is an interdenomi
national organization and aims to
help every Sunday School in the coun
ty to dq better work. The county of
ficers are working to get-every Sun
day school in thee ounty represented
at the Convention this year. •
Every Sunday School in the coun
ty is urged to send a good delegation.
.Those who will attend will hear some
addresses on the latest methods of
Sunday School work and will be sure
and get some helpful suggestions for
the work in their own Sunday Schools.
Among the speakers will be Mr.
D. W. Sims, General Secretary of the
Qeorgia Sunday School Association
and Mrs. E. M. Epsy, Cordele, Teach
er Philathea Class in the Baptist Sun-
-day School, both of whom are known
throughout Georgia as two of the
most efficient Sunday School work
crs ( in the state. The Sunday School
workers who have heard Mr. Sims
and Mrs. Espy know what to expect.
Those who haven’t yet heard them
should be sure and do so as there is
a treat awaiting them.
NOTICE FROM THE
EXEMPTION BOARD
As soon as. quotas are assigned to
each State and each board will call
upon persons whose cards are in its
jurisdiction instructing them to pre
sent themselves for examination.
This call will be posted at the office
of the local board and the papers will
be requested to print it. A notice will
also be mailed to yoii but the posting
of the list at the office of the board
will be deemed sufficient notice to
charge you with the duty of present
ing yourself. The law therefore
makes it your duty to inform your
self when you are called. The mail
ing is for your convenience, but if
the letter never Teaches you, you
rannot make that an excuse.
Watch the lists at the office of your
board and see when you are called
for examination.
AU persons registered should ex-
amine board at the court house and
if any error or change in residence is
found, should call the attention of
local board to same.

states
the organizai
boards,-
lists of
649 of th
in file in
shal General
that the pi
vvfthiri 48 hoi
take up
tails of the lol
approval.
If there is no unexpected delay, it
seems likely that the drawing can be
held Friday or Saturday. A single
district, however, can bold up action
indefinitely.
Once past the drawing stage, Gen
eral Crowder pointed oat the neces
sity for concerted action by' the
states ceases and the examination of
registrants and their assignment to
the army or exemption can proceed
in any state without regard to pro
gress made in any other community*.
The ten states not having complet
ed their preparations for the draw
ing are Alabama, Illinois, New York,
Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Ken
tucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Vir
ginia. The group .includes the states
having the largest population. The
fact that reports from only 649 in
dividual dsitricts of the 4,559 are
missing, however, shows that even
in the ten states the work is well ad
vanccd. , ‘
General Crowder declined to make
any: comment on the statements made
in the senate attacking the fairness
of the census bureau population es
timates upon whichjhe allotment of
quotas under thedraft law is based.
Other officials pointed out, howev
er, that the revised estimates of the
census bureau were not intended to
fix the actqal papulation of any com-
jnnnity. The estimates are prefaced
with the statement thatthey are for
use in connection with the draft on-1
lv. They are based upon registra
tion and represent the distribution
over the country of men between the
ages fixed in the* draft law as liable
for military service. Large figures
for many of the cities are accounted
for by the concentration of men of
the draft age there for work in mu
nition or other plants.
Later In the day Alabama reported
to the provost marshal general com
pletion of organization' of her local
exemption boards.
GRAIN ELEVATORS AT WORK
Quitman, July.—The Thomas
Grain Elevator began operations
Saturday and bought the first car
load of corn ever handled by an ele
vator in Georgia. This is the first
elevator built in Georgia and the en
terprise was put through by a local
business man, W II. Thomas.
It is alretfdy apparent that it will
be a big success and will greatly Im
prove market conditions locally and
stimulate the production of grain
The elevator is paying $1.60 a bushe
for sprn and has a'capacity of 20,601
bushels per day. It handles com
oats, velvet beans and similar crop-
"THE LAST MAN" TO BE PRE
SENTED FRIDAY, JULY 27
In the madness of a native upris
ing in the Philippines he meets the
woman who was his wife—end the
maqw ho wrecked his home. Army
men, both of them—and the woman,
beatutifut, but like another Helen of
Old. Around them breaks the red
storm of native fnry. Between them
lies the hate and passion of the un
paid debt of honor. Like a tower of
strength he withstands the storm
from/without, a bulwark and shelter
for those who wronged him.- And
with the passing of the storm he ex
acts from them a penalty worse than
death—plants in their hearts the
embers of remorse that shall smould
er always, searing their souls for all
time. . -
