pcrtant this year, because of the un.
usually large number Of contests. With

BIG SILK EXHIBITION.
First Public Display Of knd In the
United Kinadom.

First Public Display OF Kind In the
United Kingdom.
London June 5.-The first public OK
hibiton ever held in connection with
the silk industries Of the United King
dom was opened today at the Princes
Skating Rink Tho exhibition is held
under the auspices OF the british Silk
Association. which was founded twen-
ty-five years ago by a body cf repre-
sentative women. ipcuding several
members Of the royal family, who
were desirous Of encouraging aud
stimulating the silk industry as much
as lay within their power.
Few British manufactures have
prospered mere than the making OF
silk. although the industry does not
occupy the important place that it did
years ago. Silk was manufactured in
England in the reign of James l., who
took a great interest In the welfare of
the industry. but Il was not until 1856,
when the revocation of the edict Of
Nantes sent a stream of prosecuted
Huguenots into England. that the
trade reached the zenith of its prosper
ity and importance. Among these re-
fugecs were many skilled woavcrs and
they established themselves in Spital-
fields, where they set up looms I'm their
own homes. For a century and half
this colony was the centre of the silk
trade i'm England. after which period
the industry gradually declined until
il car no longer be looked upon as a
national asset OF aete years the out
put has been limited. though the high
er grades ot British silks are still
looked upon as the best in the world.

This weeks session of the City

it will conclude the fifth week of con-
tinuous work by that tribunal this
year.
Criminal work has been taken up
this week, as there was large num-
Der of these cases still remaining on

the court adjourned. Among the other
cases assigned for yesterday was ole
against Dink Frazier, while all of the
cases against him are scheduled ~
come up for hearing before the week

A large number of cases have been
disposed of during the sessions of the
court, which began the second week in
January. 1t is not likely that the ses-
sion will be extended further than the
present week, as it is believed that ad-
journment will be had at that time,
whether the docket shall have been

PROMPTLY
SUMTER KEEPS UP RECORD
Away Ahead Of Great Majority
of Georgia Counties

The County School Board held is
regular monthly session at the court
house yesterday morning. Only rou,
tine business was transacted, bills be-
ing passed for payment.
+ Notice was given that the school
teachers of the county will receive
their money on next Saturday for the
! month of January AS usual, Sumter
pays its teachers promptly, being one
of the comparatively few counties
whose school affairs are SO administer
! ed that teachers are not required to
wait for their salaries.
1t was decided to hold a special
meeting of the board on next Tuesday.
January 10, when Superintendent
I Moore's report for the year 1911 will
be checked up, preparatory to sending
it to the state school superintendent.
The report will show an excellent con-
dition prevailing in the county school,
with good average attendance and
the standards we'll maintained.
Sumter takes rank easily among
J the most progressive of Georgia coun-
ties in educational matters Not only
has it the longest school terms in the
state, with several districts levying
local taxes in order to secure a high
er grade of teachers, but in four sec
tons of the county the children are
! transported to and from the schools at
the expense of the county. Four large
wagons, each capable of carrying
twenty children, are engaged in this
work, $40 month being paid for each.
The schools served in this way are
Pleasant Grove, New Era, Gammage
and Leslie Whenever ten children
are found, subject to the distance reg
ulation of residing not less than two
and half miles from the school, 6
wagon service is instituted.
This service, the commissioners stat-
ed yesterday, has been found a great
assistance in insuring regular attend
ance on the part of the children. II
has been in operation now for four or
five years and the results have amply
justified the expense.
