The troops will be paid off Satur
day morning and will entrain Satur
day afternoon for their home sta
tions arriving in Milledgeville early
Sunday morning. The camp this year
has been the most successful of re
cent years, although rains have been
frequent, coming however in the af
ternoon and night, when the men
were doing bunk fatigue.
The Christian Citizen should al
ways be a pattern of obedience to
law. If the law prohibits the ex
change of licenses on automobiles
he will allow his to remain in the
garage until he has his own tag.
If the law prohibits the sale of
certain things on the Sabbath he
will not buy such things. If the law
prohibits the shooting of doves on
a baited field he will not be induced
to violate that law.
These may be accounted small
things but no infraction of law is a
small thing since all infraction tends
to anarchy.
By thus regarding the law himself
the Christian Citizen will help in
chrystalizing public sentiment
against violating law; and the lack
of such public sentiment tends to
nullify good government.
Public sentiment condemns thiev
ing—hence it is not difficult to con
vict for that crime. But public sen
timent is against capital punishment
hence the difficulty of conviction for

CONTRACTS FOR TRANSPOR
TATION OF SCHOOL CHJLDEN
BY BIDS DISCONTINUED
At a meeting of the county board
of education on Tuesday, July 19, it
was decided to discontinue the old
method of letting out transportation
to the .lowest bidder. This method
which ha>r been practiced has been
very unsatisfactory as the rang.- of
prices paid will show. Last year re
ceived from $3.50 to $7.50 per mile
per month. Very often bidders did
not have any competition. Under this
plan they received $75.00 to $140.00
per month. Under the new plan they
will receive $70.00 to $130.00 per
month, which means a saving of
about $1,000.00 per year. Very of
ten it happened under the old plan
that many of the applicants would
not make safe drivers; and many
trucks offered were not satisfactory.
Under the new plan the board of
education will specify the truck and
equipment, and will fix the nalary
of the driver and owner of the truck
according to the number of children
transported and the distance they
are hauled. Those desiring to fur
nish trucks and drive them should
see the county school superintendent
for particulars. •
The board rules that preference
will be given former truck drivers
where they have been satisfactory.
