ALL OVER l6 YEARS
MUST WORK ROADS.
This Takes in Many Who
Have Escaped.
Attorney General Hart
So Advises County
Attorney.

Everybody in Sumter county, out
, side of the incorporated city limits,
who is over sixteen years of age and
under fifty, is subject to road duty
or to the Communication tax for fail
ure to work the roads.
This will be news to those who are
between the ages of 16 and 21 years.
Heretofore only those between the
ages of 21 and 80 have been call ed
upon to pay the road tax of 81 or give
the service.
This, it appears, has been entirely
an error, an unintentional error on
the part of the county commission
ers in past years, growing out of the
fact that they We're not properly post
ed on the state law
They know now that the age limits
are 16 and so years and everyone
coming within such conditions will be
required from now on to comply with
the terms of the law.
While in Atlanta the county attor-
ney took the opportunity to discuss
the matter with Attorney General JOHN
C. Hart.
The attorney general informed him
that there was no question that every
male citizen between 16 and so years
of age is liable to road duty or the
communication tax. The attorney gem
eral directed attention Ito two decis-
ions Of the Supreme Court of Georgia
that clearly covered the point and
settled that these were the age lin
itations.
County Attorney Maynard on his re-
turn to the city informed the commits
missionars and it is now their duty
to see Ito it that every male over 1tI
and under so meets this obligation.
1t is not known how many adii-
tions this VIII make to the list of those
subject to the tax. AS there is a large
negro population in the county, it is
probable that there are several hun
dred of them between 16 and q years
who have heretofore escaped, who
will now be called on for the work or
the money. A smaller number OIL
young white men will also be summon
ed.
From now ON the law will be rig
idly enforced. AS but few prefer road
duty to paying the tax, the county
treasury will be enriched several dol
lars thereby

COLLEGE BRASS 6AND
IS A GREAT SUCCESS
Will be Is Pieces at the
Fall Session.
Orchestra Will Also Be
Organized Then
Among Boys.

After six weeks of practice the
Third District Agricultural College
Band made its first public appearance
this week and agreeably surprised
citizens generally by the skill with
which it rendered a number of pieces.
The band made an excellent ap-
pearance in its new uniforms. 1t
marched we'll, handled its instruments
with skill and showed every evidence
of the most careful training.
1t was less than two months ago
when Mr. H. c. Witt, musical direc-
tor, took hold of the raw material
out at the college and began to form
1t into a band. 1t was two weeks
later before the instruments arrived
They were ordered by Supt Collum
and were a gift by him to the col
lege for band purposes.
Immediately on their arrival tho
work of training the boys in their
use began.
1t was remarkable, the avidity with
which the boys took to the musical
course outlined for them, and the tai
ent they soon displayed Under the
skillful direction of the leader they
soon mastered the handling of the in,
struments and within a matter of two
or three weeks were doing good in
concert.
Their public appearance this week
aroused much interest. The music
furnished was regarded as exceptional
for boys who six weeks ago had never
handled brass instrument and knew
practically nothing about music If
any character.
AS now composed the band is made
up as follows:
Solo Cornets-H. ]. France. J. w.
Spires, H. W. Rainey.
First Cornet-E. L. Croxton.
Altos-M. G. Boland, w. H. Rat
lift, II. Pass.
bafltOne-t'. u Markett.
Slide Trombone. D. Spires.
Valve Trombone-E. Sawyer.
B. Bass-Wise Gaines.
Tuba or E. Bass-L. T. Johnson.
Bass DRUM. NJ. Cook.
Snare Drum-Geofge Bazemore.
Director-H. C. Witt
1t is understood that all, or prac-
tically all, of the present members
of the band will continue their stu
dies at the college the coming fall and
winter. At that time the number of
instruments will be increased to twen-
ty-five. In addition an orchestra will
be formed at the college. The college
boys will then be in position to furnish
music for all occasions in this vicinity.
The Third District Agricultural Col
lege is now recognized as leading all
of the agricultural colleges in Georgia
in the thoroughness of its work in the
several departments and in the varie-
ty of it's life for the boys. The mil
itary feature has been pronounced
success and is doing much to give the
boys correct physical bearing. The
band and orchestra will do much to
cultivate love for music in the boys,
will add much to the pleasures of
school life to them, and will be de-
cided drawing card for the institution
Next fall it will be, in all likelihood,
an utter impossibility to house all of
the applicants for admission to the
school.

Champs eight good hits, all of which
they landed.
