home in Franklin last Wednes-
day evening at the age of thirty
nine years. Mrs. Gordy had
been an invalid for some time be-

a popular phraze.
As a matter OF fact neither the
Sumter Board OF Health nor the Sum-
ter health officer broke up or tried to
break up the curb market. The Sum-
ter health department officials and
the City Council OF Sumter are and
have been all along supporters OF the
curb market. and have done what
they could personally. and officially
TO help maintain the curb market.
The health officers did forbid the
sale OF fresh meats on the streets at
ter the weather became so warm that
the meats were covered with fies. but
In doing this the health officers were
only discharEing their duties and en-
forcing the state Board OF Health

THE ADDITIONAL YEAR.
A High School Boys Opinion OF the
Fifth Year High School Course.

A High School Boys Opinion OF the
Fifth Year High School Course.
Al the suggestion of our superinten-
tendent l am giving 10 all those inter-
ested In the work Of the 5th year high
school my opinion of the value Of the
work accomplished in the session of
1914-15.
In the first place, / have been kept
busy throughout the entire term.
There has been no time for loafing.
The course Of study is full and broad
and there Is the greatest opportunity
for advancement. The full course Of
the 9Th year corresponds to the work
OF the freshman year at the highest
standard college in the State.
Next. l have had individual atten-
zion, something which it is impossible
for the average college to give. have
been one of sixteen instead of one of
hundred or more. My special needs
have been looked into and shown
clearly and it is my fault if they are
not yet supplied.
Third, have had every day regular
drill in the manual of arms, using the
regulation army rifles. kindly lent us
| by the Sumter Light Infantry. The
drill is not long, only fifteen minutes
daily. but 1t is systematic and regular
and gives useful knowledge Of the
handling Of arms.
| Last, I have had taste of college
life which will spur me on to complete
the course begun. And if | am never
able to do so. yet my one years work
has been acknowledged by the certi-
fcatc OF graduation and will count for
something i'm the years to come.
These. / believe. are four chief adj
vantages that | have derived from the
additional year. other benefits will
reveal themselves in the future whcl
| shall be better able to judge OF
them.
