One circumstance that puts energy into the polti-
cal life of that county is the resurrection of the
Metcalfe faction, which rejuvenated is skipping
along like colt, annoying its opponents by its joy

To Joel Dean, former owner of the News of West
Palm Beach, must be given the great share of credit
for his part in supplying tle oxygen that revived
this near political corpse of the north end of the
county. By his aid the elder Metcalfe was elected
Mayor of West Palm Beach, and the heavy vote
given him showed that henceforth his faction was
power to be considered.
Mr.. Dean has just sold his paper, and while not
wishing to give up the newspaper business, yet the
price offered 30 tempting that he was unable to

A New Project
LOCAL MINISTER'S FORMULATE
PLAN TO INCREASE ATTEND.
ANcE IN OUR SUNDAY
SCHOOLS.

The public schools of this city are
as good as any in the State. They
are becoming the pride Of the ctti'
! zens of Fairmont.
The public schools lay the founda'
ton for making intelligent citizens,
but intelligent citizenship is not
enough for the highest standards OF
useful life.
The Sunday school ought to have
place in the life OF every boy and
girl in our city, as the public school
has.
There are nearly 5000 boys and
girls between the ages of six and
twenty.one who belong to the public
schools because all Of them are com
nelled to attend.
1t is perfectly safe TO say that not
more ti.an 800 TO 1000 Of these boys
and girls attend the Sunday school,
The remainder Of them grow up
without a knowledge of the Word OF
God, so far as this source of teaching
goes.
II IS estimated that about ninety
per cent. of those who attend Sunday
school become identified with the
church, while only about ten per cent
OF those who do not attend ever be-
come church members.
| The boy who attends Sunday school
has nine chances to become a Chris
ton to one Of those who do not at
tend. Hence the Importance from ev-
cry standpoint Of good citizenship
that. the youth Of the city be identt-
fed WITH the Sunday schools.
Plans were formulated on Monday
Of this week at the Ministers Confer
ence OF this city to try to reach the
800 to 1000 boys and girls and get
them into the Sunday schools. This
plan is not only for boys and girls,
but for all citizens as well.
The plan provides for little COM
petition as to the school that makes
the largest per cent. of increased at
tendance.
The plan is like this-a large card
with the names of all the schools IN
the city will be displayed in every
school. On this card will be the at
tendance of each school for every
Sunday, beginning with this next Sun
day. In addition there will be meet
lngs Of the pastors together with the
superintendent and teachers of the
various schools in which the best
methods will be discussed ana put
into operation. And further, rallies
will be planned for; special meetings
will be held; some of the best Sun
day school men OF the country will
