BOARD IS GOING TO
GIVE ONE TO EACH.
Two Towns Are Wide Apart
Still.
RELATIVE TO JOINT BUILDING
County Board of Education Unable to
Reconcile Differences Will Assist
Both Leslie and DeSoto to Have
School Building.

Central High School, one Of the
largest and most fourishing in Sumter
county, is to be abandoned, and instead
both Leslie and DeSoto, for years
patronizing the Central High School
will have school building within their
own corporate limits.
Such was the action of the county
board of education at an important
meeting here yesterday.
DeSoto, it was stated, was willing to
continue the joint school plan as here
tofore, but her neighbor, Leslie, wanted
school of her owe, and the board will
help her get it.
Central High School, with an en-
rollment of ninety pupils, is midway
between the two towns, Leslie and
DeSota, half mile from the centre of
DeSoto and three quarters of mile
from Leslie For many years both
towns have pstronized it well.
Butthe building Is in need of repairs,
and for this and other sufficient reasons
Leslie preferred an abandonment of
former relations and the building of a
school of her own.
DeSota was willing to continue on
the former plan, and had raised $735
as her part towards the repairs of the
old building.
But in Difference to the wishes of the
people If Leslie, who desired school
of their own, the board of education
took action in that direction, and will
assist each town in the way of erecting
an independent building within their
own limits.
To this end the board yesterday
voted to discontinue the present Gen.
trail School site.
Next, it was agreed to give each town
a school, aud $500 was appropriated to-
wards the building of school at Les
lie to cost not less than 81, 500. This
was agreesbI to Leslie, and she will
proceed to raise the balance of the
money required.
The board agreed to do equally as
much for DeSoto when she got ready to
build her school.
Leslie and DeSoto are two of the
most fourishing young towns in south
Georgia, near neighbo and enter
prising withal, and now each one Is to
have new, modern and well equipped
school building, perhaps the best plan
after all.

K. M. Mcdonald, J. I. Hitler. A. s.
Morgan, j. O. Carter DIR. A. ). Logan

meeting held here yesterday.

Mr.. TURNER IS DEAD,
A VICTIM OF FEVER.
Beloved Young Minister Has
Passed Away.
HIS LOSS WILL BE MUCH FELT
After Illness of Five Weeks With Ty-
phoid = Assistant Pastor of First
Methodist Church is Dead The inter
ment at SheIIman.

After lingering illness of five or
six weeks with typhoid fever, the spirit
of Rev. S. F. Turner winged it's
fight yesterday morning to realms
above. Death came in the early hours
of morning, and found the young min
lister ready to obey the call of his
Master.
And IN truth can il be said that the
death of this good man, so full Of life,
of hope and promise of long and use
full career in mis- chosen field, was one
of unusual sadness.
And an entire people here sorrow
with his loved ones.
As soon as the dread fever, so pre-
valent here, fastened itself upon him
Mr.. Turner was conveyed from the
home of Rev J. p. Wardlaw to the city
hospital. There the very best medical
skill and careful treatment was enlist
ed to battle the disease.
But all efforts were unavailing, and
by degrees he sank into the long sleep
that knows no waking. The end came
at 2 q. m. yesterday.
Mr.. Turner was assistant pastor OF
the First Methodist church of Ameri-
Gus, and was one of the brightest and
most promising young ministers in the
South Georgia Conference. This was
his first year in Americas, and the
first in the ministry also.
During his residence of six months
here he had won warm place in the
affections of the people of Americas.
Genial, popular and cultured, he was
esteemed among all.
Mr.. Turner was 2S years of age and
resided at Shellman before coming tc
Americas to assist Raw. DR.. Wardlaw
in PASTORAL duties. His father and
sister survive him, aud during his long
illness remained vel Inigh constantly
at his bedside here
He was ever their pride, their lido;
and the tears of many friends here are
mingled with theirs.
At II o'clock yesterday morning the
body was removed from the hospital tc
the undertaking parIors of the A. w
Smith Co, where funeral services were
conducted by Rev. J. p. Wardlsw, as
sisted by Rev,-R. L. BIvins, Rev. j l..
TWIN and other pastors here.
The casket was covered over with
beautiful flowers, and quite large con.
course of friends attended the obse.
quies.
At 2 o'clock the remains, under es-
cort, were carried to Shellman. and al
5 p. m. were laid to rest in the little
cemetery there. Rev j. P. Wardlaw
accompanied the remaine, as did repre-
sentatives from the church and from
the Masonic lodges here,
DR.. j. M. Fields, Messrs J. w. Shi-
yer, r. s. Hutchins, f. G.. Oliver from
the church; and Messrs RI f.. Allen
Raiford, Jennings and Glover from the
Masonic lodges made up the escort.

BOARD HAS A MEETING
And Made important Recommends
lions to Council

The board of health held an lmpor-
tant session at 6 O'Clock yesterday Rf-
ternoon at which meeting several i'm
portant recommendations were made
to the city council regarding sanitary
conditions here.
The most i'm pOrtant of these, erhaps.
was the abolition OF the fever breeding,
death dealing hogpens.
| The board of health recommended
that every hogpen in AmerIcus be
abolished at once, and where hogs
we're permitted to be kept that lots
shall not be less than half acre or
more in extent.
This. if adopted, would remedy the
prevailing evil and probably save
many lives of those now stricken, OF
who may be soon.
The board of health also recommend
ed that the city order weeds growing
in the streets and upon vacant lots tC
be cut at once, This is another serl-
GUS menace to health.
It was also recommended that Towr
creek be cleaned out, and that Prose
ct Park be drained and cleared OF
underground.
To the end of satisfying public
cIamor regarding the city's water, du,
to the alarming prevalence of typhoid
fever here, the board recommends
that the water be analysed by the stat
chemist at once.
These recommendations were refer
Ired to the council last night.

A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hair
No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of a female face the
sweetest smile of q female mouth, loses
something if the head is crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair. it is
now known, is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where it saps the vitality. The lit
tie white scales the germ throws up in
burrowing are called dandruff. To cure
dandruff permanently. then, and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed.
NeWbro's Herpicide, an entirely new re-
suit of the chemical laboratory, destroys
the dandruff germ, and, of course, stops
the falling hair, and prevents badness.
Sold by leading druggists. Send 10c in

THIRTY THREE POINTS GALORE
Went Prices In a Landslide Down
Flume

Americus holders of the feecy who let
go their bales last week Rugged them
selves yesterday for the wisdom thus
displayed when prices took sheer fall
of thirty-three points, or total of a
half cent since Monday. The exact
cause of the decline is not known. but
that there has been decline is fact
we'll known to those who failed to turn
loose. But the market now is wholly
speculative one, and the manipulators
may force it down a great deal lower
