TAKING THE SCHOOL CENSUS

The school census Of Georgia Is
taken every 5 years. During the
month Of March, 1928, it will be
taken. Again The Sumter Board OF
Education has selected the following
named parties to take the various

are selected because the work should
be carefully and accurately done: b.
W. Dupree, to take Andersonville,
Concord and Pennington districts;
Frank Webb, to take Thalean; Frank
Jones, to take Union; j. G. Carter,
to take New Era; w. H. Houston, TO
take Pleasant Grove; Fl. r. McGee, TO
take Plains; w. A. Chappell. to take
I4vsian; John Peel, to take Anthony;
Walter Johnson, to take Huntington.
The pay of the census takers is to

tween 6 and 18 years of age to be
enrolled.

NEWS FROM
THE RUHR.

Chancefsar Cuno of Germany has
got around to the declaration that
his country can't consider any ar
rangement with France that doesn't
contemplate eventual evacuation"
of the Ruhr.
This is pretty elastic.
If France can have the Ruhr to
milk" indefinitely, sooner or later
she ought to be able to get her re-
parations out of the region, and if
recovering the district eventually"
is good enough for Germany, it
doesn't seem as if there can be any
reason, so far as the Germans are
concerned, why FRANCE shouldn't do
this.
After all. the two countries may
not need outside mediation. Maybe
they'll fix matters up between them
selves.
A good many people are likely to
come to the conclusion that the
French and German iron and steel
maonates have cDme to an agree
ment. which, the dispute having been
primarily between them'all the time,
as it's widely suspected, probably is
all there is to it.
Of course there are iron and steel
maonates in other countries who may
NOT be suited, however. If so, they Il
be heard from later.

GAINS FOR
LABOR PARTY

A good deal of comments been
caused by the defeat of conservative
candidates, in what had been consid-
cred conservative constituencies, in
recent English Parliamentary by
elections simply are elections to fill
vacancies. The Conservative defeats
mean that Andrew Bonar Law, the
party's leader and premier besides,
has lost three supporters in Parlia-
ment, which is quite black eye, con-
sidering that his majority was small
anyway.
And in all three cases the Labor
Party won.
The Labor Party, it's interesting
to note, is the strongest group in
Parliament, next to the Conserva-
tives. So if Bonar Law should lose
his majority entirely the labor leader
would become premier automatically.
But he wouldn't have a majority eth
CT. so he couldn't last long. There'd
have to be another general election.
For a little while, however, Ramsay
Macdonald, the radical, would
be prime minister

the railroad mems union and Philip
Snowden, who, with their wives, were
invited to dinner at Lord Astor's
house in London last week, to meet
King George and Queen Mary.
The correspondents idea seems to
be that a tremendous honor was done
them, but it sounds a good deal more
as if they were being 'shown off. f"
Parenthetically, it's fair to say that
the suggestion attributed to Lady
Astor that her labor guests pull
up their stockings" and her query
as to whether these same stockings
were con straight almost certainly
were some correspondents invention.
1t isn't a bit likely she'd have been
so ill-bred.
- The fact that such men could be
prevailed on to rig up in masquerade
costmes was sensation enough-a
good deal more Of a sensation than
that they were deemed worthy to
dine with the king, who'd have been
a little tactful, anybody'd think, if
he'd intimated that it would be all
