He says that Englai d abounds, in retired army and navy I officers, and others with practical-1 ly no capital but with small fixed incomes varying from $1,500 to $4,000 a year.

For instance, there are the people who have been coming in every night by automobile from Ashburn, some 58 miles away. These people have attended every session except the one last Leaving Ashburn in a heavy raid; they were ditched somewhere on the road spending most of the night there. However, we have been advised this morning that they will attend to r.iglr, coming in by train. In the Ashburn party are Mr. and Mrs. George Roach, Miss Winnie Ernest, Miss Blanch Cockrell and Mrs. J. A. Erwin. “Nor are the Ashburn people the only ones who have shown their splendid enthusiasm and apprecia tion, fo~ there are men and women commg ev. i v right from Ellaville, Buena Visra, Plains, Bronwood and Leslie, besides the excellent attend ance of Americus people. “The attendance has daily run from 135 to 150 and because of the interest and enthusiasm steps will be taken tonight to make the school a permanent annual feature. “Another feature that is gratify ing is that many of those enrolled are teachers—men and women wn<- know the value of continuous study if they 7 are to be efficient in te.eir work as teachers. They arc receiv ing training under university and college professors, who know their business as instructors and appre ciate that if this training of Christ ian men and women is continued, it will revolutionize Christian educa tion. The training school is some thing well worth while to the church and to the community, and in ray opinion is a permanent feature in our churcn ” The enrollment here is said to be the best of any training school ever organized in the Georgia M.

The first returns, re ported last week, gave Coolidge 1.624, La Follette, 1561, and Davis 233. This week, the figures stand' Coolidge 22,848. I.a Follette 19,829, .and Davis 'I.OOB. Most Repubiu ■> i poltical prophets have placed C di fornia in the certain colufnn for Coolidge, and founded their coanpu tation ■ on a total electoral vote in which the Pacific .State’s thirteen ballots were included. “California, it is recalled, upset one election, not long since, and, from present indications, the Stat.' is far from firmly planted in the de publican column. “The drift of votes, shown in a general wav by a tabulation of ‘How the Same Voters Voted in 1920.’ seems to suggest a loss of Republi can strength to Ln Follette in Cali fornia, a much smaller loss in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New York. Analyzing the vote in more detail, it appears from the markings of the ballots, that, of Mr. Coolidge’s 22.848 votes from California 16.- 976 or the voters were Republicans in the last elections. 1.431 were Democrats, and 4.364 either east no vote or neglected todeclarc their pro PAGE THREE \ ions affiliation. “Os Mr. La Follette’s vote of 19,829, 10,075 say that they voted the Republican ticket in 1920 and 4,010 say they voted Democratic I with 5,134 not voting. It appears, j therefore, that Mr. La Follette is ! drawing heavily from both sides in ! the Coast State. i In Illinois, the La Follette vote of j 12,726 is drawn from 2,318 forme,/ ! Democrats and 6.715 former Ro-' I publican:', with 3,353 who did not, , , I vote in 1920.
