school Mr.. Miller made reference to
the fact that the party of superinten-
dents with him secured an excellent
lunch in the high school building for
twenty-five cents, such lunches as are
served to the students of the school.
The equipment, service and opportun-
tiles afforded to the students of this
school were such as to evoke unstlnt-
ed praise for the st. Louis educational
system from the many educators VINO
attended the convention of superin-
tendents.
Mr. Miller believed that the trip has
been of so much practical benefit to
him that the work of the year can be
conducted now more effectively than
ever. The trip was thoroughly en-
joyed by Mr.. Miller, in spite of the
snow and sleet which was encountered
all south of Cincinnati, with two feet
of snow on the streets of St. Louis at
the time he was there.

mo DOUBT ABOUT VACANCIES
ON BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Under Recent Statute Terms Of Three County Commission
eFS Expire This YGar-SeCtOn of Law as Enacted
By Legislature Given Verbatim

Recently there has arisen considera-
bic discussion whether the terms of
three of the county commissioners
really expire this year under the sta
tute of the legislature which was pass
ed recently to amend the original law
establishing the board of county com
missioners.
A reference to Georgia Laws of
1908" shows that the terms of three of
the five commissioners expire this
year and that their successors are SUD-
posed to be elected at the coming pri-
mary and final election held this year.
1t is seen from referring to the law
that no doubt is left as to the expira-
ton of the terms of three of the COM
missioners this year. The part of the
statute referring to the terms of the
commissioners is as follows:
AT the general election in October.
1908, there shall be elected a board Of
commissioners in said county, consist
ing of five persons, citizens of said
county and chosen in the manner
hereinbefore provided, to succeed the
then existing board, two of which
commissioners shall be elected and
hold office for terms of six years.
from January l 1909 and until their
successors are elected and qualified.
three of said commissioners shall be
elected and commissioned, and hold
their Office for term of four years
from January l, 1909, and until their
successors are elected and qualified.
The five commissioners so to be elect
ed at the October election, 1908. shall
among themselves, determine by lot,
which of the terms each shall have,
and they shall hold office and qualify
accordingly"
Those who have had any doubt in
the past as to the distinct require
ments of the law, may feel assured
that the three county commissioners
who are to be elected this year are
being chosen in harmony with the re-
quirements of the law in this particu-
lar When the present commissioners
shall have been elected the law will
go into effect with regular elections,
as the rotation of long and short terms
which was the main object of the re-
cent law, will have been established.
When the length of the terms was
fixed by lot as was required by the
law, it fell to Messrs Frank Sheffield
and T. B. Hooks to draw the long
terms, while the short terms went to
Messrs. A. F. Hodges, H. ] Webb and
j. F. Bolton. Consequently the COM
ing primary calls for the reelection
of these three commissioners in whole
or in part, or the choice of some, in
whole or in part, to take their places

Will HELP
TO ADVERTISE
The COUNTY
APPRO? ?RIATION WAS MADE
To Place Forward Edition in
Hands of Farmers

At the meeting of the county COM
missioners yesterday an appropriation
of $50 was made to be used in adver-
tising and distributing the Forward
Edition of The Times-Recorder, in or
der to assist in making it as effective
a medium as possible for the building
up of the county.
The commissioners realized the
great value to the county of public
ity and the benefits that have already
accrued to it from past advertising
1t was felt that the placing of infor
nation about Sumter county in the
hands of thousands of farmers would
be instrumental in concentrating their
attention on this section and county
and eventually bring some of them,
perhaps, many to locate here and be-
come factors in the development of the
county.
The resolution to make an appro-
priation of $50 for this purpose was
passed unanimously.
This appropriation will be expended
in placing advertisements in leading
farm papers directing attention to the
Forward Edition and stating that cop
les will be sent free to any person
sending a postal requesting one
Through this medium it is probable
that thousands of farmers who con-
template changing their locations will
be reached. The names of those send
ing for copies will be turned over to
the Board of Trade and real estate
dealers as working medium for
them.

has seen enough of the country round
about to make him believe that no bet
ter place could be found for a young
and aspiring farmer to locate in.
While the lands hereabouts are diff
ferent from the prairie lands to which
he has been accustomed, Mr. Rhodes
appreciated from what he saw, and
what he learned as to their produc-
tiveness and the financial results OBJ
tanned, that this section should be a
Mecca for young men starting out in
life as farmers. "If | were younger
l would like to start in here myself,
said he to Messrs Sheffield and Har-
rold.
Mr. Rhodes believes that if the Illi-
nos Central, now interested in this
section through its control of the Cen
trail of Georgia, will use its organiza-
ton and put into effect the same ex-
tensive advertising that has been done
for the promotion of other agricultu-
raj sections, in very short time a
great homeseeking movement could be
brought in this direction and that
Georgia would secure thousands OF inn
migrants from the West, who are now
moving to Canada or further into the
west of this country.
"Our people simply need to be told
what is offering here" said he, "and
to be convinced that what they are
told is the facts of the case, and they
will come, at first slowly, then in
creasing in numbers. This is great
section, and any one can appreciate
what it's future must be"

clings to her until the turn of fortune
enables her to shake it off. One need
not be afraid of too great simplicity.
Indeed, it is better to err in that direc-
ton than in the other.
A gown like this, for instance, made
of taupe messaline, with collar, cuffs
and inset section OF white satin COW
cred with a braiding design in fine
black cord, is a gown of which its
wearer will never tire. 1t answers
every requirement for an afternoon
dress, and for the informal gatherings
which all women love.
No one can possibly have any objec-
ton to an opening in the skirt filled
in, as this one is, with a trimming
feature incorporated into the general
plan of the costume. Very pretty,
also, are the skirts which open over
an underskirt or petticoat of silk or
fluffy lace, giving dainty touch very
dear to the truly feminine soul in these
days of much mannish attire. But
when the skirt opens high on the
sides, or eighteen inches of the back
seam flare apart, revealing in both
cases, complete innocence of under
drapery, the conservative woman will
view the style askance. If she can
have but one or two dress up" dress
es, and is wise, she will be quite con-
tent not to be in the height of the
fashion in that respect at least.
But there are many other ways in
which she can follow the leaders and
be essentially well gowned. She can
choose the popular colors for her
gowns and have them made of the
materials, The more up
to-date she is in that respect, the

the otherwise monotonous tone of the
brown messaline gown.
These black velvet flowers. by the
way, are a popular fad just now, worn
with gowns of all colors and for every
occasion. Sometimes they are large
and loose single flowers; sometimes,
instead. they are lunches of smaller
blossoms with buds and foliage. Some
very attractive ones are large flowers
like the poinsettias, with black vel
vet petals, however, instead of red,
and with the centers made clusters of
small yellow beads. With their
spreading, loose leaves these are UNI
doubtedly artistic But in whatever
guise they appear, in assemblages Of
fashionable women at this time black
velvet flowers at the girdle are no.
