SHEPHERD SEES ARMY THAT
IS NEVER DEFEATED
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Biarritz, Sept. II (By Mail to New
York. There's one army in Europe
that retreats and retreats and re-
treats, but is never defeated. 1t has
no flag, no standard, no leader, but
after the other armies have been
crushed, this sad army, which has
now fallen back on the sunny city
of Biarritz, will issue forth again to
its old fields.
1t is the army of Europe's women
playthings. 1t has gathered here from
every corner of Europe. 1 think 1
saw thousands of it's members play
ing in the ocean, walking the beaches
and waiting-waiting impatiently
and restlessly for the other armies to
cease warning and to turn to other
sins. .....

reason the theatrical producers have
educated the tastes from season to
season until it is now necessary to
carry large companies mounted with
complete scenic equipments and cos
TUNED up to the minute. The Mozart
Music Co., Inc, have spent small
fortune to meet the demands of the
present day theatre fan and as re-
suit of their untiring efforts they are
now able to present "The Movie Girl"
a new musical show with its scenes
laid in and around a moving picture
plant.
The book is from the pen of the
we'll known author Matthew OFT who
has to his credit no end of successes
in the musical comedy field and "The
Movie Girl" was written for laughing
purposes only, giving Billy Carlton
the German comedian the best part
he has had in his career. The engage

solved that that the Club>circulate petit
ton asking the merchants :of the city to

NO NOTABLE
EVENTS TODAY
French Claim to Have Driven
Back German Assaults.
Winter Coming

London, Nov. 16.-No important
events were written into the history
today as far as great events con-
cerned. Winter has partly paralyzed
troop movements both in the East
and West.
The Russians on the border Of East
Prussia are reported marching
through snow, clad in sheepskin
jackets similar to those the Japanese
first wore in Manchuria. Billiards
have swept the trenches in Belgium
and northern France, bringing great
suffering. A large area Of West
Flanders around Dixmude has been
flooded by the heavy rains and is no
mans land for fighting.
The French and German reports to-
day are contradictory. Berlin says
there was only slight activity because
o fthe snowstorm. Parts announced
of the snowstorm. Paris announced
the Germans, attempting to cross the
canal near Dixmude, were thrust back
while the allies recaptured several
stragetic points, repulsed two Ger
man attacks southeast of Ypres and
"entirely destroyed" a German regi-
ment south of Bixschoote. h
An observer with the( British army
announces that German attempts to
batter 4 wedge through the British
lines have decreased greatly in force !
the past few days and that they bear
no resemblance to attacks in great
force launched against Ypres at the
end of October. They are more
the nature Of demonstrations in force
than serious assaults, he declares
The writer pays high tribute to the
bravery OF raw German youths and
unframed men Of middle age who, he
says, do not hesitate to march against
the trained British troops.
If the Germans have abandoned
their furious battering ram efforts 10
thrust back the allies lines and reach
Calais their failure will constitute
distinct victory for the allies, 1t Is
asserted here, because the allies have
not tried to accomplish more than to
hold their own on the defensive.
Petrograd reports the Russian acm-
paign developing favorably in East
Prussia. From other sources 1t is
reported the inhabitants Of the coun-
try are fleeing before the menace OF
a second invasion. On the Polish
frontier and in Galicia two enormous
armies are massing for a battle which
nav decide the fortunes of the war in
the East.
The possibility is being discussed
that the Austrians may abandon
Cracow without defense rather than
submit the city to destructive bonn
bardment.

school.)
The records this month is made in
such way as to permit Of comparison
Of the records of boys and girls. BY
reference to the table, it will be seen
that the girls are few points in the
lead on every item except number of
pupils.
Again the number of tardies among
the larger pupils are still altogether
out Of proportion with the tardies OF
the smaller children. By study OF
the table we find that the pupils who
are oftenest tardy live nearest to the
school buildings.
Considerable interest is developing
in the work among the pupils Of the
literary societies. These societies meet
bi-weekly with teacher always pres
ent. The program of readings, essays
recitations, orations and debates are
always interesting and is a part of the
English course.
The pupils are permitted to NEE
in society that they might be taugh
how to conduct meetings, that they
might be taught how to conduct them
selves at public meetings, to learE
rules of order, to recite, to debate, tt
learn the art Of public speaking, all o
which will be useful in after life. W.
urge that parents do not ask that thei
children be excused from this kind O
work for such requests will be re
fused.
At the meeting of the city teacher
Friday afternoon very favorable re
ports were made. The feeling prevail
among the teachers that a good yea
is ahead for the city schools.

DAVID s. SCOTT IS DEAD.

Iva, Nov. 13.-Mr. David S. Scott,
died suddenly here last night. Mr..
Scott was in apparent good health
yesterday and was at work in his
blacksmith shop all day. AS he sat
at the supper table talking to his
wife he suddenly expired.
Mr.. Scott came here some ten years
ago from Lowndesyille. He leaves a
wife and son and daughter. John T.
Scott of the Jackson Mills village and
Mrs. T. C. Collins, of Greenwood. He
was member of the Woodmen Of the
World. Funeral arrangements have
not been made.

as a surplus, they would not now be
facing disaster and coming ehTe in
desperation and asking for help. But
while they may have contributed to
their present condition, they are none
the less in sore straits, and they de-
serve whatever help we can give them
And l believe the help we are asked
to give now, will be simply emergency
help. believe the people Of the
south will learn a much-needed lesson
from this experience. They will grow
on their farms the things needed on
their farms-grains and meatS-and
that in the future cotton will be a
surplus crop, a money crop, pure and
ismple, and not food crop. That is
the trouble now; many farmers de-
pend on the sale of their cotton for
actual food for themselves and their
families and the horses and mules
that pull their plows. If they can not
realize money on their cotton they
can not eat. This is an ugly truth, but
it is the truth nevertheless. So we are
asked for emergency legislation, and
the emergency is very real and pres
sing.
And for this reason l am prepared
to support almost any legislation that
meets with the approval of my col
leagues, and ] am unwilling for the
congress to adjourn until something is
done. (Applause.)
