Goodbye Census
It's all w but the shouting.
Census taking Is over and almost
gone, and what has been done Is
final. Too late now 20 rush In names
that have not been taken .....
and We are afraid that there are
many. Notwithstanding the close
check made by volunteer workers
Census Chief Bennett at Fort
Brown said Friday that no new
names would be accepted. and that
final totals would be announced
around the 23rd.
IL remains TO be seen what this
city will register. III Is almost A
foregone conclusion that the 25. 900
wanted at first will not be reached.
However. a 100 per cent increase In
population would not be bad to take.
II the city could double every ten
years. 1t would not be long 20 reach
the city class. BY 1850 the city would
have around 10000. which is not so
bad.
And with the port bringing In
prosperity and population, the
growth should be even more rapid
than II has In the past.
Infringing
We know that we are infringing
upon the sport editors rights, priv
ileges. and what not, but II he says
anything about IL. we'll Just tell
him we didn't know 1t was loaded
and plead temporary insanity.
But something must be said about
the excellent showing the American
golfers made in dear old England.
Bobby Jones win was expected.
Of course. It's become q habit with
the Georgia Peach. When he takes

 u ID SCHOOL BOARD
Letter From Mayor Quigley to
 Be Read This Afternoon

Mayor George A. Quigley's letter suggesting that all salaried employees of the city, including schoog teach Ters, contribute 2 per cent of their income to a Christmas fund for needy families, will be laid before the school board this afternoon.
 Chairman P. F. King said he would present the mayors letter without recommendation and the members will be asked to take ac- ton on it. Whether they will vote to be guided by the teachers wishes or decide immediately in favor or in opposition was not predicted by MT. King.
 If the matter is left with the teachers council meeting of that organization will probably be called next week, it was indicated today. Principal Harry Vessels, president of the council, said he has not re- ceived official information on the matter and has not called a meet ing. The mayors plan is for a volun tary contribution of two per cent of salaried employees during September. October and November so that those who are affected by unemployment and industrial depression will re- ceive relief during the winter months. The- school department is the only organization that lhas not yet come to decision or" the mat ter.
 Six Letters
 Six letters will be read at the meeting this afternoon. There are from the principal of the Senior High school, the director of Junior High school shops, former Art Di- rector Dewey Van Cott; Franklin Pierce, state supervisor of educa- ton and Principal Slade who will present the high school football schedule.
 Addition Completed
 The school accommodations com- mittee will report that the addition to the Benjamin Franklin school has been completed. The work has been going on for several months. It will contain nine rooms and will be used to accommodate the large school population in the extreme north

FundamentaliSt College Devoted
 to Commoner'S Principles

Dayton, Tenn. SepA 12-Funda- mentalism.s memorial to William Jennings Bryan-the university to bear his name - opens it's first classes in Dayton September IS with a champion of the Commoner's religious principles as president. f
 Dr. George E. Guile of Athens Tenn. a worker of the Moody Bible institutei of Chicago for more than IS years, heads the institution which will open in temporary quar- ters five years after the famous Scopes trial and Bryan's death in this mountain town. Until the university's S400,000 ad- ministration building is completed, classes will meet in the old Rhea county high school building where John T. Scopes, defendant in the Dayton trial, taught biology.
 Opening of the school will be a great day for Dayton, which has worked in behalf of the university since Bryan died suddenly here in the summer of 1925, two days after Scopes was convicted of teaching the theory of evolution in violation of a Tennessee statute.
 From the mountains a nation wide campaign has been conducted which has brought contributions from about 10000 individuals. Near- ly $1.000,00O has been subscribed, an S1-acre campus bought and work started on an administration building, planned to accommodate 400 students in all departments.
 Only freshman classes will be opened this fall. It is planned to add additional courses gradually un- til the university is four-year in- stitution The university will be co-educational and will have inter collegiate athletic teams.
 The largest garage in Europe has been built at Stockholm. It will ac- commodate 1,500 cars.

She has brought suit for $6,OO0 against Vincensa Alessi, owner of the property which is situated at 16 Hurlbut street.
 Mrs. Hemingway was tenant in the house. An electric light fur nished illumination for one of the stairways> but this was out of order. The plaintiff claims that she warned the landlord of the condition of the stairs prior to the accident.

She claims she was deprived of earning power as a practical nurse in "a local factory for several weeks. Attorney Frederick B. Hungerford represents, the plaintiff and Con- stable Fred Winkle served the pa pers.

Honorable Mention-Harold Daw-

chell, and James Bell.
In making the selections the judges
had the following to say:
"In transmitting the results OF the
scoring in the 1880 Yard and Garden
contest the undersigned desire to
state:
"That owing to the unusual wealth
err conditions during almost the en-
tire growing season the results here
in do not reflect the civic pride of the
citizens of Oakland who entered the
contest.
"a survey of the city at the begin
ming of the endeavor revealed mani
fest intense interest, notably among
those Heretofore apparently uninter-
ested in the development of the
aesthetic in civic life. The start was
propitious, indicating that interest
would grow as the contest proceeded
Then at the height of the growing
season came the nationwide devas-
tating drought accompanied by scar
ing high temperatures with the cur
tailment by the authorities Of the use
of city water. Flower and vegetable
gardens withered and died; lawns
took on the appearance of burned
areas. Then followed killing frost
Seemingly nature had conspired to
defeat the purposes of the contest
Those who had entered with high
hopes and worthy civic pride gave UP
in despair, discouraged and dis
heartened.
"The number of entrants and the
interest shown, in the opinion Of the
undersigned fully justifies your club
in continuing its efforts along these
lines for another year with every
prospect, weather conditions being
favorable, for the permanent success
of this most desirable element in civic
life.

TERRA ALTA MAN KILLED
IN AUTOMOBILE MISHAP
Five Others Are Injured in Col.
lisiOn, But None Critically

Frank Sypolt, 26, of Terra Alta, w.
Va, was instantly killed near Greer,
Monongalia county, Saturday evening
when an automobile which he was
driving collided with another driven
by Preston Davis, 20, of Masontown.
Five others in the two cars were
injured, none critically. Roy Sypolt,
brother of the victim, had severe head
injuries, Fred Burch, A, Kingwood,
third passenger in the death car, es-
capped with cuts and bruises as did al
son Davis and his two companions,
Agnes White and Dora Feathers,
both of Morgantown.
State Trooper Donaldson common
ted that Sypolt must have been driv-
ing at terrific rate of speed. One
side of the Ford touring car was
stripped off, as was the case with the
Davis car, a Ford sedan. The dis
lance the Sypolt car travelled after
the collision was another factor indi-
eating excessive speed.
The victim was married and lived
in Terra Alta. He was employed at
Hopemont as truck driver and was
the son of Walter Sypolt, of King
wood. Besides his father he is sur
vived by his widow and small
daughter; three brothers, Clyde and
Charles, of Terra Alta, and Robert, of
Dellslow.
Funeral services were held from the
residence Tuesday afternoon with in
terment in the Terra Alta cemetery.
The report of one of the State troop
ers stated the Sypolt brothers and
Burch had been drinking.
