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 TRIED BY COURT Criminal Docket Consumes Entire Week. Joe Simmons Gets Life Sentence. Superior Court is still in session and will not adjourn before Satur day afternoon. During the week a large number of criminal cases have been tried. It is the largest session of Supe rior Court that has been held in Baldwin county in a number ycurs. Most of the case;; tried have been violators of the prohibition law, and most of them have been convicted or plead guilty. There have, however, been several assault with intent to murder cases tried. There were three murder cases on the docket. Joe Simmons was tri 1 for the murder of Mit White, an other negro. A consent verdict was given, and he was n.ntenccd to the penitentiary for life.

There have been a thousand stud- dents in attendance from all sections of the state and the work done has been the btst in the history of the college. Under the direction of Ileun E. H. Scott the organization was perfect, and there has not been a wasted minute. The students have been earnest in their work, and they have given their thought and time to their rtudirp, r.rd they are better equipped than ever before for their work in teaching. During the session there have be*.n a number of entertainment put by the students, which were greatly appreciated and enjqyed. There real talent showed by those taking A number of lecturers have visited the college, and delivered talks subjects of interest to the student**. The members of the faculty, who have been here teaching in the Sum mer School will commence their cation. The third was a medal won by Eug.nc Hitchcock, as .the next best drilled man in the individual com petitive drill, in which one man from each company entered. I The news of the victory won by | the G. M. C. cadets reached Milledge ville by a t.Iegram from Lieut. Ver non L. Nash,, military instructor at G. M. C. He has been an instructor at the camp, and i# proud of the rec ord mndo by the cadets. The military men, who have visit ed the college, have pronounced G. M. C. the best military school in the Fourth Area, and the record made sustains this decision beyond any doubt. The Union Recorder congratulates Lieut. Nash and his cadets upon their splendid record. Ihe grand jury, sitting at the July rm of Superior Court, finished its duties and adjourned Monday after noon, after reading their general pre sentments in open court. The general presentments, not in cluding reports of officers und com mittees, are published in this issue. It wa» impossible for the clerk to give full copy for publication this v They will bj carried in full week. THE LIGHTING COMPANY HAVING TREES TRIMMED The Georgia Power Co., owners of the Milledgcville Lighting System, are having the trees with which their wires come in contact trimmed as a result limbs have been cut from a large number of the trees through out the city. The work is being done by an expert employed by the com pany for the purpose. The cutting of the trees, however, has raised protect by citizens in all sections of the city, as it is claimed that the beauty and symmetry of the trees are being destroyed. The shade trees that adorn Milledgeville have always been the pride of the people of this city, and they naturally deplore any thing that would injure their beauty and appearance. The members of the Men’s Bible clast*; of the Baptist Sunday school will join with the Men’s class of the Methodist Sunday school next Sun day morning, and hear the lecture of Prof. W. T. Wynn. The lessons being studied now are of the deep est interest, and many timely sub- j murder. jects can be discussed from them, j Whenever public sentiment is for putting down the liquor traffic the Volstead law will be obeyed. But so long as public sentiment is in sym pathy with infraction of this law and so called good citizens patronize their private bootleggers and remain in good standing in society it will be difficult to enforce it. Again let it be said that all in fractions of law tend to anarchy. By God’s decree the home is pre eminently the place for the building Rev. J. H. Farr, pastor of the Mil- ledge ville circuit, will start protract ed services at Bethel church next Sunday. He will be assisted by Rev. W. B. Mills, pastor of the Midway church. Mr. Mills is a forceful preacher, and his sermons are in teresting and helpful. The people of the Meriwether neighborhood are cordially invited to these services. The following members of the Baldwin County Girls Club left Mon day lor a week's stay at the club camp at the Agricultural College at Athens: Misses Caroline Ennis, Alecia Starnes, Mary Frances O’Quinn, Anna Laurie O’Quinn and Sue Belle Barn. up of this public senitment. The school room furnishes another mighty power for it. The father and mother and school teachers who have oversight of the children who by precept and ex ample believe in the Bible doctrine of government are rendering a mightier service to their country than can ever be rendered by officers of the law whose duty it is to deal with our citizenry who have reached manhood and womanhood. When from every home and every sehool house the emphasis is placed upon obedience to officers because they, by reason of their functions represent God, we will have the be ginning of a brighter day in all good things. The Morris-Little Post of the \merican Legion will hold an portant meeting at the room of the Chamber of Commerce Friday ev ning at 8 o’clock. There will be number of questions relating to tl interest of the post to come up for discussion and a full attendance urged. The auxiliary will prepare Mrs. T.

Mrs. Ennis is o’ie of MUIedgeviQe’s most popular women, and her friends here are deeply Interested la her condition, and wish ter her a speedy recovery. 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. Mr. Eddie Walls, of Katonton, was la Urn city this week.
