CADET CORPSNOW
HAS STRENGTH IN
THE HIGH SCHOOL

The Cadet Corps Of the Americas
High school is already at minimum
war strength, which is maximum
peace strength-and the corps has not
yet been actually organized.
Prof ]. E. Mathis announced this
morning that 65 young men had al
ready been measured for their uni
Corn for the military training to be
begun in the High school this fall.
This brings the organization into for
midable power with ranking in num-
ber along with the accredited military
companies of the National Guards.
Only seventy-fve guns have been
received so far form the war de-
partment for the High School Cadet
corps, and it is expected that this
supply will shortly be exhausted. 1t
will not require much trouble to Sc
cure additional guns from Uncle Sam,
and there is a strong probability that
two full companies can be secured
from the boys of the High school this
fall.
When the organization is perfected
the authorities hope to have a Drum
and Bugle corps, and band. With
these bright and interesting features
the boys of the High school will oc-
cupy position of envy among all
other boys in the city. They are now
the toasts of the city, and with their
uniforms and recognized responsibility
they will truly come into their own"
Mathis Announcement.
Prof. ]. E. Mathis has published a
notice that the registration books in
the public schools will open Monday,
September 11th, at the Furlow Gram
mar school for the white children, and
at the Mckay school for the colored
children.
For those not having promotion
cards, they will apply on Thursday
and Friday of next week, for admis-
sion to the Grammar school at Furlow
school. and at the High school building
for the High school.

The rules adopted by the state exec

lows:

Macon, on Tuesday, September %.

ty shall be entitled to twice the nam
Der of votes it has in the Georgia

convention shall confirm the results
OF said primary election in accord
ance with the rules hereinbefora
made, and nominate candidates ia
conformity with said results; select
a new state executive committee, an
nounce platform and attend to suck
other business of the party as may
be brought before it."
