SCHOOL CENSUS TAKEN
i OF DOOLY COUNTY
The school census of this county re
cently completed by Supt. J. M. Roy
al shows an increase of eight per
cent over that of five years ago. This
increase, however, is due to the rural
districts as most of the towns show a
considerable decrease.
This census shows that there are
6,962 white and colored children in
Dooly county between the ages of 6
and 18. ■

BIBLE TAX NOT FAVORABLE
Atlanta, Ga.—Rev. W. J. Ham,
pcstor of the Baptist Tabernacle, has
created quite a disturbance over the
adoption of a new tax revenue bill by
the Georgia Senate which places a
tax on Bibles.
Mr. Ham declares that the bill is
reeking with pro-germanism and pro-
Austrianlspi; and that it seeks to curb
the sale of the most enlightened force
in the world. He declared that such
action on the part of the State of
Georgia will be a blot upon the state
and that such a law would not be pass
ed in heathen China or aesthetic Ja
pan.
The portion of the bill referring
to the Bible places a tax of $200 on
every peddler of bibles, stoves, pic
tures, clocks, picture frames and sim
ilar articles.

INSTRUCTION BOARDS
FOR LOCALSELECTMEN
MEN Wll*. BE GIVEN LECTURES
AND SOME DRILLS BEFORE
LEAVING FOR CAMP.
According to orders issued from
the provost marshal general’s office
local selective service boards through
out the country will proceed at once
to appoint county boards of instruc
tion for thyp urpose of preparing se
lectmen for-Camp training.
Under the .orders there will per
haps he two-of euch boards appoint
ed in Dooly county and they will work
under and in.cooperation with the lo
cal board, the idea of this work being
to put the selective service men into
camp willing/.tpyal, intelligent, clean
and sober merv And thus fit them bet
ter -for rapiflSjprogress in becoming
good soldiers^,
Very few hdectmen have seen mil
itary training; perhaps a larger num

ed of them, wlgle the greater portion
of them, whilq' being loyal men, are
more ignorant of whtc is expected-of
them. Then there il, another large
element, who><Srough (ignorance, are
neither willing) -intelligent, nor loyal
nor fit in the proper degree for train

that can be reached before they go

with information regarding camp
life There will also be some prelim
inary military drills to get the men
started on this line.
All of this preliminary work, it is
believed, will make it much easier
for the men to fall into routine of
camp work and make the life there
easier for them from the beginning.
In fact, instead Of entering a camp
absolutely ignorant of what it is, they
will have a general outline of it and
thus grasp things much more rapidly.
The Dooly county board, as soon
as the proper men can be selected for
these boards, will announce their
names and officially create the boards
and permit the work to go on ns or

KILLS BROTHER
BEN ANGELEY IS SLAIN BY
BROTHER AFTER QUARREL-
BROTHER NOW IN JAIL. *
After a violent quarrel over domes
tic affairs, that had been causing es
trangement betwen th two for years,
John Angeiey, a Dooly farmer living
near the Pulaski lino killed his broth
er Ben, Friday at the home of the
former. The shooting occurred in the
presence of a sister who lived' with
John, the dead man having lived in
anotHer house nearby. He was leav
ing the home of his brother when shot
in the back by a gun in bis brother’s
hands. Both men were bachelor! be
tween the age of 46 and 60.
The coroner’e jury returned a ver
dict of murder. John Angeiey is in
the county jail. He will be tried dur
ing the present term of court.
Local Red Crois workers seized the
opportunity that was offered Mondsy
by the large court attendance to add
to the local working fund by solicit,
ing the patronage of the visitors at
a barbecue dinner.
Knowledge of the splendid work that
is being done by the Red Cross is be
coming so universal that anything
that is now done in the name and for
the sake of this organization of mercy
receive! the cordial rapport of al
most every one. Through the cour
tesy of the 'Judge who announced,
the dinner to tho court, it was quite
generally advertised. In addition to
the large patronage of court visit
ors, quite a number of town people
had their dinners with the ladies, and
quite promptly all the food that hqd
been prepared was sold out.
The total received from the sates
was $91.90, the net profit being about
$60.00. Mrs. R. S. Middleton di
rected the dinner, ahe was ably as
sisted by a number of the ladies and

PREACHERS AND
MAJOR HAVING ROW
Amarlcua Ministers Oppose Sunday
Baseball At The Aviation Camp
Americas, Ga.—Sunday baseball
at Souther Field has started a con
troversy in Amhrlcus that will not
down.
It began with the announcement
that a team of civilian playen from
Columbus would play 1 , thepost team
here. Ministers and church people '
generally rose up in lndtypiMlt pro- >
test at first mention of such alleged
Sabbath deaecration in this.communl- '
ty, and since then have carried on h'
sharp controversy with Major Wash,
commander at Souther Field.
A special meeting of th* minister-
in! association of Americas first con
sidered die'question and unanlmotjjij&dJ
hr adopted resolutions pledging 'atfwB
ministers to oppose Sunday ball play
ing at tha post Robert L. Maynard,
a. prominent attorney here, then pre
pared a set of resolutions which were
adopted by various congregations and
Sunday schools, , and subsequently
given wide publicity.
Major Wash then wrote a spicy
communication to the local newspa
pers in whieh he set forth that sol
diers stationed at camp were raqulr-
to perform fixed duties during six
days Jn the week, and that, in hia opln
ion, baseball being a healthy sport,
would be permitted any day at South
er Field. Rev. Paul W. Ellis, pastor
of tha First Methodist Church then
granted an interview wherein he stat
ed Major Wash had opposed a consid
erable majority of the cltixens of
Americas in his position on Sunday
bill.
Now Major Wash has coma back at
the Methodist minister with the state-
m- nt that ha knew nothing whatever
o' any resolutions adopted by any
body relative to Sunday ball, and say
ing curtly in affect, tat the ministers
art oerlng advice when advice is not
wanted. Wide Interest centers In tha
affair hare, and the next development
in thee ontroversy la anxiously antici
pated.
