THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
HAVE A DAYS OUTING
Large Crowd Went From Dawson to
Cordray Friday. Everybody
Had a Jolly Time.

The Sunday schools of the different
churches of the city enjoyed their
annual picnic Friday. The place Sc
lected by a committee from the differ
ent schools was Cordray's mill, six
teen miles from Dawson. The large
crowd left in automobiles about 8
o'clock and were soon on the ground,
the roads being in good condition.
The weather was favorable and the
grove near the hotel furnished cool
and inviting retreat. The large pool
proved a very popular place for the
young people throughout the day,
swimming being the favorite diver
sion. The flowing artesian well af-
forded an abundant supply of fine
water, which was greatly appreciated.
A bountiful spread of everything
good to eat contributed to the days
enjoyment.
The stores in the city were closed
from 9 till a and the people entered
heartily into the plans for making the
day happy one for the children.

RIGID ENTRANCE
RULES ARE In EFFECT
STUDENTS WHO ATTEND G. N.
AND /. MUST BE APPROVED
BY BOARD EDUCATION.

In this issue of The News, County
Superintendent j. C. Dukes gives no
tice of the new entrance regulations
for G. N. and l. college at Milledge-
vile.
The students who enter from any
county are now selected by the coun-
ty board of education of that county,
with the aid of the county school SUI
perintendent. The number of stu
dents any county may send is de-
termined by the white population of
that county.
The president of the college must
enter all pupils certified by the board
of education up to that county's
quota.
The G. N. and I. college can ac-
commodate only about 800 students
and a great number of applications
are rejected each year. For this
reason it is important that all appli-
cations be filed with Superintendent
Dukes at once. Old students who ex-
pect to return must file applications
also. On July 10, if Terrell's quota
is not filled, the president of the col
lege may use Terrell's scholarship for
other counties in this section, if the
applications of the surrounding
counties exceed their quota.

Atlanta, June 29.-Speaker John N.
Holder of the House OF Representa-
tives, candidate for governor in the
coming democratic primary, made a
ringing statement in opposition TO put
ting any increased burden OF taxation
upon the people of Georgia, in his ad'
dress at the opening Of the 1920 ses'
sion of the legislature.
A service of nineteen years in the
legislature and four terms as speaker
of the house, has naturally made Mr..
Holder one Of the best posted men IN
Georgia regarding state affairs. In
vigorously opposing any increase IN
the state tax rate, Mr.. Holder did not
hesitate to propose a remedy wnlcn
IL employed, will provide for Georgia
schools and take care OF the state
financial needs. Concerning taxation
here is what Speaker Holder said:
Many worthy causes are now
knocking at the door OF this legislature
for financial aid. am confident tna'
YOU will make earnest effort to NEE
every Just demand. In so doing We
must give consideration to the people
who pay the bills-the taxpayers o.
Georgia. They are already heavily
burdened. When they have paid theil
State taxes, county taxes, city taxes
special taxes, school taxes, income
taxes, and have responded to the many
patriotic and charitable demands,
great part of their income has beer
taken away from them.

SECTIONS OF COUNTY ARE
BADLY IN NEED OF RAIN
Crops Have Improved Considerably.
The Boil Weevil Is Busy.

Crop conditions have greatly i'm
proved in many parts of the county
the past few weeks. In other sec
tions there is complaint that lack of
rain has injured the corn considera-
bly, and unless relief comes soon to
the drought-stricken districts there
will be great loss to the farmers.
The boil weevil is another menace
that is causing much worry, especial
ly to those who have planted all cot
ton. A persistent fight is being made
on the pests, but it is impossible to
keep up with them and prevent the
ravages which are proving SO disas-
trous to the promising fields of cot
