Cotton is opening rapidly.
The fierce rays of the hot sun
during the long drouth has

cotton picked say the staple is
extremely light.
Mr.. R. l.. Levins brought the

Tuesday morning. The three
bales were bought by Mr..

a pound. The plant ginned
four bales Tuesday. Several
bales have been ginred since
Tuesday. The cotton is not
clasSed as the best owing to
the short staple.
The Garner gin is now ready
for the rush that is expected
within the next few days and
it is expected the season will

ALL ATTENDANCE
RECORDS BROKEN
Methodist and Baptist s. s.
attendance Last Sunday
Totals 544.

The Methodist Sunday School
won the attendance contest
which has been waged between
the Methodist and Baptist Sun
day Schools for the last three
months by a majrity of only
twenty-four.
Preparations are being made
for the picrdc to be held in the
level pasture near the bridge,
on the Neutrality-suspicious. high
way, about two miles east Of
town. Under the agreement Of
the schools, the Baptist school
will be host Of the Methodist
school.
Last Sunday the Methodists
broke all former Sunday
School attendance records
known to the oldest residents
of Washington. The Baptists
also broke their own record by
80. The Methodists enrolled
301 and the Baptists 244.
The total attendance for
three months at both churches
was 2600, pToportioned as fol-
lows: Methodist, 1872; Bap-
tist, 1888; the Methodist win
ming by the small majority OF
"a.
The friendly conflict has
been waged vigorously. Both
schools rise every possible sf-
fort to induce more people to
attend the Sunday Schools and
the success attained is phe-
nominal. The tremendous
number of 544 people in the
two contesting schools on last
Sunday is an evidence of the
untiring efforts of the men,
bers of the Sunday Schools. Of
this number many will stay in,
and the schools will benefit by
the genuine revivification of
sluggish shcools.
1t is the intention of the
superintendent to bring the
average attendance above 100
and it is believed the contest
has served to this end.

tended that all Of the 3-mill
tax levy is being expended on
the unimproved roads and that
this, with half of the auto and
gas tax, will enable the county
judge to build up a good sys-
tenn Of graded roads through
out the county in a short time.
Judge Wilson contends that
'he present division is fair and
that the county should not be
reclassilied.
The classification became an
issue when Judge Wilson, at
The opening Of the public can
vass, made a talk against re-
classification and advised the
voters to vote fo- representa-
tives who would pledge them
selves to this policy. Some Of
the representative candidates
pledged themselves unequivo-
cally to this policy, but the two
who were later elected said
they would be guided by what
the majority Of their constitu-
ents wanted.

STRANGE Is Circulated.

Two petetions, one fostered
by N. p. O'Neal Of Hope, by
which it is sought to reclassify
Hampstead county, under the
Harrelson road law, making a
$3.50 division Of the automo-
bile and gas tax, and the other
by County Judge John L. Will
son, which asks that our rep
! resentatives let the classifica-
ticn remain as at present, are
being circulated throughout
Hampstead county. Mr.. O'Neal
was the first to get his petetion
in circulation and it's sponsors
claimed to have 2800 signers
Ip to the first of this week,
which, if all are qualified vot-
ers, gives a majority.-There
we're 5538 poll taxes paid in
the county. The petition is
still being circulated and Mr..
O'Neal predicts they will be
able to secure at least 1900
names. Judge Wilson's petit
,Aion was only put in circula-
| ion last week and he has not
nnounced results, but it is
g N that many signers are
secured.

from the stump during

This division, it is contend
ed by those asking for a $3.50
split, is unfair and defeats the

ARMENIA ID SPEND
 FUND FOR ORPHANS
Great Industrial Training
 Schools Will Be Erected

Erivan. Armenia. Oct. 24.--Plans arc being drawn by the Armenian government for the erection of three great industrial training schools in or near Erivan for poor Armenian boys and girls. the funds being supplied by wealthy Armenian Americans. The three Institutions will cost upward of s1,000, 900. The first Of these is an agricultural and industrial school which will be paid for out of a half million dollar be- quest left by the late Gullabi Gull benkian, of New York. .. s..
 The second school will be devoted to trade and technical subjects for dependant Armenian boys, the cost being defrayed by the estate of the late Rafael Margossian of New York. who died in Paris, leaving 3,500,000 francs for the founding of such an institution. -
 The third school will be aayoca- tional institution fer Armenian or- phan girls between 16 and IS years old. These children will be in- structed in domestic science. nurs- ing and the useful arts, the plan being to make the girls self-support- ing for life. This institution has been made possible through the gen. erosity of Leon Agopian, a wealthy Armenian businessman living in New York, who set aside nearly s2bo. 900 for the purpose in mem- ory of his sister. Darochi Agopian, who recently died in New York al the age of eighteen.
 Leon Pashalian and Kevork Assa- door, members of the Armenian na. tional committee in Geneva, are aa ranging the details of the three in- stitutions in collaboration with the Armenian government officials. It is expected the schools will absorb the gfeater number of destitute Armenian boys and girls now ir Armenia and will also supply the future artisans. engineers, nurses and teachers of the country. A considerable number of the orphans now being cared for at Alexandro- pol by the American Near East Re lief organization will be transferred to the new schools.

Chicago, Oct. 2I.--The 5000, 900 women in the general federation of women's clubs were urged to vote in the November election by Mrs. John D. sherman, their president, In 0 statement given out in this city. If any of them has a voting family apathetic or indifferent to good citi- senshp, they must arouse "him" to his civic responsibility, Mrs. Shor- man asserts. Voting Is duty. not job or politics. It also Is the best possible demonstration of good citi- zenship.
 'The woman who does not take the trouble to go to the polls on election day certainly should never raise her voice in protest over any- thing that goes wrong in Washing ton of her own state capital" said Mrs. sherman. By her vote she earns the right to an expression of opinion in nation2 and state af- fiars."
 Mrs. Sherman said that without question the American family con- trols the future of America, but she asked how much does the family care about that proposition when less than 50 per cent of the regis tered voters went to the polls at the last presidential election.
