SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK
IN NEWBERRY COUNTY

Reports of the Sunday schools Of
Newberry County for the Interdenomi-
national Sunday School association.
Throught the courtesy of the super
intendents, secretaries and pastors of
the various Sunday schools of the
county, the county secretary is en-
abled to make the following report:
Number Of officers and teachers. 5s4
Number Of pupils. 1851
Average attendance ;........,.,.3, 3,0SS
Number in home department. -. 241
Number on cradle roll. ......... 774
Total enrolment ....,..........6, .6,3S8
Number of churches in county. SO
Number Sunday schools: ........ SO
Number Sunday schools reporting 81
Number union schools. s........... 5
Number churches having no Sun \
day schools .............,.... 8
The churches having no. Sunday
echools: Enoree, Baptist; Mt. Tabor,
Methodist, in No. 4; Fairview, Bap-
tist, in No. 5; Tabernacle, Methodist,
in No. 3; Beth Eden, Lutheran; Morris
Chapel, Presbyterian; Prosperity, Bap-
tist; Pomaria, Methodist.
The>county secretary urges upon the
proper officials Of the various schools
throughout the, county the Importance
of filing out the blanks sent to them
in full. So many fail to give the aver
age attendance and likewise the ac-
cessions to the church from the Sun
day school Many also fail to report
the cradle roN,"' even if there be one
in the school. These statistics are val
uable,. Cor they form the basis of de-
termination Of the future progress OF
the Sunday school work.
Is there not material for a Sunday
school in the churches which report
mo" school? Could not the pastors,
or some, one, organize a class Of
"grown-ups,' if, unfortunately, there
are no children in the congregation or
community to be organized? 1t is
worth the effort.
J. B. O'NeaH Holloway,
County Secretary.

MOVEMENT TO BRIDGE
THE MERMENTAU RIVER

Plans for bridge across the Mer-
mentau river on the line between
Acadia and Jefferson Davis parishes
are being discussed by the police
juries of the two parishes, and active
steps looking to securing such struc-
ure are soon to be taken. President
John Marsh of the Acadia police Jury
stated few days ago that he has
authorized M. c. Huckaby, state high
way engineer, who is now surveying
the main artery of the Acadia par
ish highway system, to draw plans
for bridge across the Mermentau,
the plans to be submitted, together
with estimates of the cost, at the next
meeting of the jury. The plans will
also be submitted to the jefferson
Davis parish police jury and in case
the bridge is built the expense will be
shared by the two parishes.
The Jefferson DAYS police jury has
already started agitation for bridge
across the river near the location of
the Southern Pacific railroad bridge,
and their highway engineer, Col. W.
L. Stevens, has volunteered to furn-
ish plans for the structure. Roughly,
estimated, it is said a substantial
draw-bridge could be built for sum
not exceeding $4,000 and of this
amount it is contended the state high
way department is in a position to
furnish the greater part. The bridge
would be a connecting and important
link in the great highway across the
state, of which Calcasieu parish has
already finished her part, for which
Jefferson Davis has voted half a mil
lion dollar bond issue and for which
Acadia is planning to appropriate
100000.

SCHOOL TERM BEGINS
MONDAY, SEPT. 4TH.
Number of Changes in the Faculty
and Text Books mark Open
ing of This Term.

The opening of the school term in
the Welsh High School Monday,
September 4ths, will be notable for the
many changes, in faculty, in text
books and in the attendance which
occur this year. 1t is reasonable to
expect that the initial attendance will
be the greatest ever recorded in this
school, and it is also reasonable to
expect that the success that has
marked the past terms will be out
done this term.
According to the announcement OF
the parish and local school board only
four of the teachers who taught the
past term are being returned to the
school this year. They are Misses
lone Robinson, Rose Hardin, Elsie
Reeve and Ruth McLees.
The new teachers are, besides the
principal, Mr.. Arnold L. Pearce,
Misses Mabel Fontance, Louise Smith,
Essa johnson, Hettie Feet and Irna
Robinson,
We are unable to give the assign
ment Of the teachers to their respec-
tive grades at this time.

TO BE CHANGED IN FORM

desire to maintain the present popu-
lar price of one dollar per year,
whereas almost all Of the country
newspapers are raising their subscrip-
ton price to $3.50 and $500 on &C.
count of the increased cost of ma
terial and production. We believe
that by disseminating the patent in
side and increasing the size of the
home print section we can use bet
ter grade of paper, print more home
news, and in all furnish our patrons
a more satisfactory paper, without in
creasing the price.
The remaining chapters of the
serial story "The City of Numbered

eft of those who are interested.
We hope that the patrons of the
Journal, many of whom have been
its constant readers since its begin
ming over sixteen years ago, will ap-
pfeciate the improvement, and will by
their continued support and encour-
agement assist US in making other
