NEWTON COUNTY SCHOOLS
EXPEL PUPILS WHO SMOKE
Drastic Order Issued by Progressive
Board of Education of Newton
County—Rule Has Already
had Marked Effect.
Newton county, Georgia, is des
tined to become the haven for
school teachers, especially women
teachers, all of which is caused by
a recent order of the Board of Ed
ucation of that county to the effect
that all pupils who persist in smok
ing at school, or going thereto or
from, must be expelled; also, they
give the teacher privilege of expell
ing any unruly child who is dis
posed not to obey the school rules.
The order was passed at the last
board meeting and has already had
marked effect. It was advocated
by the Superintendent of Schools,
J. O. Martin, who stated that the
cigarette-smoker was a nuisance
that should be dispensed with in
stanler, and that in many of the
schools young women were em
ployed as teachers, and that the
“big boy” or the “bully” was
always to be contended with.
It is a well known fact that in
rural communities a favorite pas
time with the large boys of the
school is to “try” the teacher and
to discuss among themselves what
they would do if the teacher should
attempt to whip them. This, how
ever, will not go in the schools of
Newton any more.

Miss Marguerite Fletcher left Wed

GEORGIANS REJOICE OVER
SUCCESIOFW.J. HARRIS
As Democratic State Chairman He
Has Done Much to Eliminate
Factionalism in the Party.
Gets Important Position.
(Special to The Argus )
Atlanta, Ga., March 27. —
Georgia Democrats of both factious
are united in their rejoicing over at
least one important appointment
that has been made by the Wilson
administration. The recommend
ing of Senator W. J. Harris, of
Cedartown, for the appointment as
Director of the Census is a compli
ment to Georgia which has pleased
all Georgia politicians.
As Chairman of the State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee Sena
tor Harris achieved the distinction
of being one of the few men who
ever discharged the duties of that
office to the entire satisfaction of
both Democratic camps. The po
sition of Director of the Census is
one which stands next in impor
tance to the cabinet portfolio. Its
duties will not necessarily cause
Senator Harris to resign from the j
State Democratic chairmanship.
SENATOR SMITH ON
FINANCE COMMITTEE
Atlanta, Ga., March 27. —The
chief activities of Senator Hoke
Smith this spring as one of the
wheel horses of the Democratic ad
ministration will be in connection
with his membership on the Senate
Finance Committee, whick „will
handle the tariff bill.
There was an erroneous idea that
Senator Smith wanted the chair
manship of the new Banking and
Currency Committee, but the Sen
ator did not want that position,
lie felt that the work immediately
ahead of Congress was the revis
ion of the tariff. Banking and
currency is not to be taken up un
til after the tariff bill is disposed
of, and it may not figure in the ex
tra session at all. For that reason
Senator Smith feels that he can be
of the most use on the Finance
Committee.

EASTER SERVICES AT <
4SaIS6-.A-J23F
I,’THE METHODIST CHURCH
Purpose of Service a Forward Move
ment in Church flatters—Various
Interests of Church Presented
in Interesting Manner.
A large congregation attended
the Easter services at the Method
ist church last Sunday. Invita
tions had been sent out to all the
members, and most of them were
present. Those who were not 011
hand should have been.
The interest of the Woman’s
Missionary Society was presented
to the congregation by Mrs. E. W.
Carroll in a well written and able
paper, which elicited many com
pliments that have come to the ears
of the pastor. It is well known
that Mrs. Carroll wields a trench
ant pen when she writes for The
Argus, but even her most ardent
admirers did not know she could
write so well on church matters.
Now they are saying she should
write oftener upon these themes.
The Sunday school interest was
represented by Prof. Mingledorff
and Mr. J. L. Lyons. The Pro
fessor stepped softly but safely over
the ground lie covered. 11 is words
were wise and well spoken, and
should be heeded by all Sunday
school pupils.
brother Lyons handled matters
with gloves off. Most of his re
marks were addressed to the par
ents, and they were spoken in plain
terms. Brother Lyons is the Su
perintendent of our Sunday school,
and a more faithful man to all of
the interests of the school and
church is not to be found in Jack
son, If the parents-who are mem
bers of the Methodist church in
Jackson were as faithful to the
Sunday school as he, the attend
ance would be largely increased';
The financial interest of the
church was presented in a brief
report by Brother Boyd McMichael,
after which Brother R. P. Sasnett
made a few remarks pertinent to
the question.
The purpose of the entire service
was a forward movement in church
matters, and the pastor hopes this
will be the result.
