remains yet- a considerable responsi
bility upon those who have the
work in hand according to the ad
vice of the state chairman, Mr. Rich
ardson, who in a recent letter calls
attention to the fact that the most
important part of the work is the
prompt and proper meeting of these
pledges, that is, the actual sale of the
stamps.
The successful campaign in Dooly
has evoked a very pleasing expres
sion of appreciation from the State
Chairman in the form of a letter re
cently received by the County Chair
man. The letter follows
- “In your letter of the 20th insi,
you had taken the broadest view of-
the situation of any of our Chairmen
who have expressed themselves to us.
I regret to advise that in some coun
ties, Chairmen have taken the posi
tion that unless other counties adjoin
ing raised their quotas it was wrong
to pledge their quotas, and even in
some districts in some counties they
have taken the position that one dis
trict should not over-subscribe in or
der to help out another district in the
county. ■ With this . statement you
can know how much I appreciate the
attitude that you take.
“I may use some of your letter in
sending a general letter out over the
State, but in quoting from it will not
use names so it can be identified’.

Mr'
V.
Despite the continued rains the
services at the Camp Ground which
have been in progress since Sunday
have been well attended. As usual,
the largest crowd visited the grounds
on Sunday and following the custom
that has prevailed since the institu
tion has been in existence, many of
the visitors carried their dinners and
spread them on the tables and ground
underneath the trees.
The services have been greatly en
joyed by those who attend with
view to being spiritually uplifted the
sermons have been on the whole,
earnest and forceful. Excellent mus
ic has distinguished each service. Rev..
Smith the district presiding elder has
directed this religious convention
with his accustomed tact and ability.

meeting to an end.

Yours truly,
“HUGH RICHARDSON,
State Director for Georgia.
The letter from the County Chair
man to which Mr. Richardson refers
is herewith subjoined.
“While this county is "ovor the
top” we are not laying down on the
job, but insisting on everyone in the
county who is able to do so buying a
bunch of War Savings Stamps. I feel
certain that our county will not only
pay for its quota but will go any
where from $100,000 to $150,000
over before January 1st. I further
realize that some of tho counties in
the state will have a very hard time
in raising their quota, and we people
who are blessed with good ' citizens
and prosperity should assist our weak
er and less able brothers. We have
had a few disagreeable people to
deal with, but as a whole, have gotten
along very well. As I wrote you pe-
fore, we assessed all of our property
owners in the county, and in only
very few cases did v/e find it neces
sary to reduce the nscsossment. Gen
erally speaking, they have come
across with the pledges aqd the cash
for the allotments assigned to them.”

ited service class to bs sent to Syra
cuse, N. Y., to enter training for

these and welt up at the top of the

canstance was rather unusual. As
soon as Mr. Kirkland ascertained that
there was a call for one man in his
class, h* .lent before the board to
volunteer to fill the call, only to find
that the board bad already detertnin
ed upon'Mm aa the men for the place.

by A$pUVtnJ^a^gfiting Officer, Sam
ples, of the Macon Rrecrultirig St*- .
tion. Yeoman, boilermakers and mu- .
•iclans are especially in demand. The '
following is the memorandum receiv
ed by the local station.
“Your quota for regular navy-men
has been removed.' You will, there
fore accept and send in all men you
can get for the regular navy. Accept
men in the ratings that are now open.
Musicians, boilermakers and yeoman
are especially in demand. Applicants
for yeoman must have working know
ledge of stenography and typewriting
