Monday night the old rivals,
Kemper Military School of Boon
vile, and Wentworth Military
Academy, clashed in a game of
basket ball in the academy drill
hall. The game was decidedly
interesting to everyone, and es-
pecially to those acquainted with
the rivalry existing between the
two schools. In comparison with
Kemper, Wentworth's team work
appeared tlawless. Their pass
ing was the finest seen on the To-
cal court for a long time, and if
the same degree of proficiency
had been shown in throwing bas-
kets, the score would have been
more lopsided than it was. Went
worth had the ball two-thirds of
the time, but lacked u|nerring
aim-so many chances were lost
by not being able to hit the
b~ulls-eye. Wentworth's team
was aggressive-always on the
offensive, and in very few in
stances failed to cover their op-
ponents at critical times.
Kemper eXcelled in making free
throws, most of their points be-
ing made in this manner.
The game was free from any
unpleasantness. The good, clean
work was appreciated by every
one present, the visitors receiv-
ing the glad hand whenever
their work merited it. Final
score: Wentworth 80; Kemper
10.

Krasnik is an important city on the

story of the increasing freedom of

Though there was the utmost oppo-

traditions by entering the exchanges

public, this feeling has almost entirely
died away. To facilitate their work
the authorities have allowed them to
abandon the prescribed Turkish head

RIGHT OF WAY SECURED
THRU CITY AND COUNTY
Actual Construction Work Will Be-
gin Before Fall and Trains Will Be
Running Into City Next Spring.

, the right-ofway from the river on to
Americus has been donated to the
Georgia Lumber Company, and deeds
already signed for the property.
The Georgia Lumber Company al
ready operates standard gauge rail-
road from Games to the east side OF
the Flint river. This is a distance of
s miles. From the river to Americus
is about II miles. 1t is estimated that
it will take in the neighborhood of
$3.50 900 to construct the road to Amer
icus and build modern steel trestle
across the river.
The right-of-way from the river to
Americus calls for very little grading
and once the construction work begins
it will be an easy matter to finish. The
survey, as made several years ago,
eliminates most hills and will proba.
| bly, be followed by the final survey.
! That the new road will finally be
extended on to Tifton over the pro
posed Americus, Triton and Atlantic
survey is the belief of those in close
touch with the situation. This would
give Americus another trunk line. The
shops of this road would be established
here and headquarters maintained in
Americus.

Furniture for the contemplated I'M

siderably, condition which readily re i.
