COMPANY TO ESTABLISH FINE
FARM AT BYROMYiLLE.
Cattle and Crops Raised VIII Be the
Very Best.

Within a few miles of Americus, at
ByromvilIe, will soon be established
one Of the best and most modern of
model farms for rearing tine stock
and growing crops that will evil
dence what can be done by the farm
ers of this section in stock breeding
and agriculture.
The farm sat ByromyilIe and is
one of the famous scientific farms of
the Byron corporation.
1t is as near typical of this section
as possible and was selected with
this point in view.
Strong interest has been shown IN
the farming possibilities of south
Georgia and letters Of inquiry flow III
from all parts of the country. This
growing demand for accurate infor-
nation moved the A., B. and A rail
road authorities to establish an exper-
mental farm
Beginning the coming season grains,
cotton, vegetables and truck will be
planted and the results published in
circular form and widey distributed
throughout the United States by the
passenger department.

MAY GUST ADMlRALS
WHO OPPOSE HIM.
CappS and Rogers Subjects
of DiSpledSure.

Washington, d. c., Feb. "a dras-
tic shake-up in the Navy Department
has been precipitated by Rear Adlni-
rails Capps and Rogers. Every sign
points to the fact that Secretary Mey-
er soon will find it necessary to dis
Pense with the services of these Off
GERS. Both the line and the staff Off
GERS are freein predicting that these
so-called "bureaucrats" will be dis
missed as a direct result of opposition
offered tothe Secretary in his plans
for bureau reform.
Secretary Meyer is determined to
check any tendency ~ the Ge artment
check any tendency in the department
that the two rear admirals are strain
ing every nerve to thwart his admin
istration so far as the plan for bureau
consolidation and curtailment of pow
er is concerned, became an open Sc
cret when they appeared before the
house naval committee and harshIy
criticised the legislation which the
Secretary had asked to be enacted.
1t is believed tht Secretary Meyer
presented the subject to the president
at tn last cabinet meeting, and that
the latter spoke his mind without re-
serve regarding Rear Admirals Capps
and Rogers.
Decentralization in the Navy Depart
ment is predicted, if the secretary
shall continue to permit his subordi-
mates to work against his policies. The
secretary has certain disciplinary pow
ers which he may exercise with the
approval Of the president, and it is
believed that the feud between the
line and the staff cannot be allowed
to proceed further without seriously
jeopardizing the. efficiency of the navy
This is one of the strongest reasons
why the dismissal of Rea rAdmirals
Capps and Rogers is looked for in the
near future.

THIS GIRL WAS
SCARED BALDHEADED.
Factory Operative Demands Damages
for Peculiar Accident.

st. Paul, Feb 3.-For being fright
ened until she turned bald-headed
Illlie Ominsky, 17-year-old factory
girl, was awarded $4,000 damages by
a jury in Circuit court.
Tillie was employed in a big facto-
ry four years ago, when her waist was
caught in a machine and she was
drawn close againstthe whirring
wheels. Suffering with hysteria, she
was taken to a hospital, and in few
weeks her hair began dying and fall
ing from her head Today she is alb
solutely bald. During the trial experts
testified that fright had so affected
her nervous system her hair would
never grow again. Even her eye
lashes and eyebrows have fallen out.

HIGHWAY TO LESLIE is
THE FINEST OF ROADS
County Sang is Building
Up Roadway.

From Americus to Huntington, Les
lie. De Soto and Cobb over a boule-
ward as firm as a city's paved street
and almost without crook or curve,
will soon be the possibility afforded
the public here and the good people
of these towns and that section who
have business here.
For the Leslie Road" like that 20
SmithvilIe to Plains, to Flint River
and other sections of Sumter will
soon be among the best highways in
the county.
One who has not seen the progress
made there recently can scarcely i'm
agine the work accomplished by Supt
Christian and the large force of con-
victs employed there during the past
several weeks.
A streak of ruts has been transform
ed into a magnificent boulevard al
most the entire length.
This road is among the most impor-
tant in the county, penetrating a fine
agricultural section and reaches four
fiourishing towns, the people of
which make Americus their market.
e he ea,jja!,sJ agsftipfoad to the
-sasfl. There is a~oonsiscessity, as one
sl...s -71l,alIy see.
Beginning at the Willet place two
miles out of the city, the improve
ment is at once apparent
Supt. Christian left the crooked,
beaten COW path that so long had
served, though badly, as a road, and
a straight shoot Of two miles is made
The great hill beyond the Wtllett
branch has bee ncut down and the
dirt used for a "fl' in the swamp
this side
On tothe Council place, five miles
away, is a splendid stretch of highway
of uniform width of thirty feet, level
as a floor and as hard as can be made
At this point the road gracefully
curves to the right and will be con
tinued on to Leslie, where it connects
with the De Soto road.
Much Of the work required beyond
the Council place has been done al
ready, and the new Leslie Road" of
fourteen miles will very soon be fin
ished
And no road in the state of Georgia
will surpass it. Like others of Sum
ter's splendid roads it is being built
for durability, and when once COM
pleted it can be maintained at trifEa.d
cost by the use Of the split-log drag, |
which will keep it in perfect condi-
ton
The county commissioners viii have
a right to feel proud of this work, as
viii the people Of Sumter.

WITH DEFECTS THEY
MAKE SLOW PROGRESS
Reason School Children
Should Be Examined.

The members fthe Board of Edu-
cation have as yet taken no steDs
looking toward the introduction of the
system Of physical examination of
children in the public schools of
Americus, as suggested by Supt Mil
Ter in his last monthly report to that
body, What the members may indi-
yidually think of the matter remains
to be ascertained. Probably the sug-
gestion was a novel one to the ma
Jority of them, as it has only been Of
recent origin, although in a number of
cities it has been put into effect with
IN the last year. Wherever adobted
though, it has undoubtedly been of de-
c1ded benefit to the community, the
physicians at work ascertaining that
large number Of children who were
laggards in their studies were defec
tive in hearing or eye sight, or suf-
ferlng from some nervous trouble that
mterfered greatly with their school
work.
Supt. Miller in his report to the
Board of Education insisted that it
would be an economical step for the
Board to provide for such examina-r
tions of the children, as every child
kept back in its work entails an adj
djtional expense o nthe public. This
position is sustained by other educa-
tors throughout the country.
In New York of late there has been
decided progress made in this line
of research. Superintendent Maxwell
of that city, reported that three of ev-
cry four children of the public schools
who have been examined were suffer-
ing from some physical defect. Leon
ard P. Ayres, associate director of the
department of child hygiene of the
Russell Sage Foundation in discuss
ing this declared that one of the most
serious aspects 0 fthe question was
the waste of the public's money i'll |
the unfruitful effort to educate chill
dren suffering from these defects.
Taking a single illustration, that
of decayed teeth said Mr.. Ayres, "the
great English physician, DR.. Osler.
recently said more physical deteriora-
tion was caused by bad teeth than by
alcohol, The figures just published by
Mr.. Maxwell show that among the
900 children examined last year
$4,000 were found to have defective
teeth.
The investigation conducted Ey |
the department of child hygiene of the
Sage Foundation shows that children
having defective teeth take half a year
longer to complete the elementary
school course than do the children
having sound teeth.
1T was found that children suffer-
ing from such defects as the school
physicians record progress through
the course 8 per cent. more slowly
than the children with no defects.
New York expended on it's schools
last year nearly $35,O00,0OO If three
fourths of the children are suffering
from physical defects which cause
them to make 8 per cent slower prog
ress than they would if the defects
were removed it means that the city
has spent $2,40O,O00 a year in a use
less attempt to impart knowledge to
pupils who are physically incapaei-
tated for receiving it."
