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.

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. DR. F. E. WILLIAMS, J. F. POWELL, H.D. DAVIS. - Local Board. Wi 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.

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. . - SMYRNA NEWS ITEMS Miss Clara Burch, of Cordele, 'is visiting Miss Beatrice Lupo.
