MARKED IMPROVEMENT
At HOWELL SCHOOL
Communicated

During the fall of 1918 the singers
of Crisp county attended an all-dav
singing at Howell School, near Leslie,
Sumter county, which was a success.
But very peculiarly, it was noticed,
but one man of that community could
take part in the singing as a leader
or director for the class, and only one
lady as an organist. But practise and
study makes improvement, as we all
know, and it's very interesting to Wis
it Howell school now. AS result
of two short schools in the summer
of 1914, and a continuous
practice and study, there are now
eleven gospel song directors in that
community.
The writer had the pleasure of be-
ing with them last Sunday during the
afternoon singing, which was very
enjoyable occasion for every one pres
ent. Though the weather was cold,
there was a very large crowd. An
interesting feature Of this class is
some of the directors are very small
boys. But they are on the right line.
and will make men their country will
be proud of, if they continue as they
have started.
Everybody enjoys good singing. And
every church school have school
taught occasionally for the benefit of
their young people, and that their
church music might be better.

Thirty-Six Persons Accused in Bills
Feeling Runs High in Butler County,
Where Young Women Belong to
Weu-knOWn Families.

ROCKPORT, KY, March 12.-Feel-
ing is running high in Butler county
as the result of damage suits filed here
yesterday by Louella and Katherine
Webster, members of a well-knowl
Kentucky family, who alleged they
were attacked in their homes by q
band of "possum hunters" blindfolded,
dragged into the cold and then dis
robed by the regulators, who afterward
applied the lash to their bare backs.
The suits are for $4,000 each and are
against thirty-six wealthy Butler coun-
ty men.
Persons in the little court we're stir
red by the pitiable sight of the two
women when the suits were filed. Be-
tween sobs they told how they had
been mistreated. After the beating,
which took place at midnight, they
said they were taken back to their
homes and showed across the thresh-
old where they fell unconscious in
which state they remained until found
by relatives.
Trials Set for March 30.
A special term of the Butler Circuit
Court has been called for March 80 to
try the men indicted by the recent
grand jury. 1t is likely the damage
suits will be tried at this term of court.
Among the defendants are Jacob
Serum and ]. A. Gardiner.
Open threats were made here to-
night in connection with the outrages
committed by the "possum hunters"
who have caused a reign of terror in
this section of Kentucky for more than
six months. Additional deputies will
be stationed at the courthouse when
the trials are called.

ATHENS, Ga, March 12.-The Geor-

Moons workout yesterday afternoon
and the boys whips warmed up under
the slanting rays of the sun as it hits
the wind-protected bottom down on
Sanford Mead. Coach Bean is troubled
with two distinct problems at pres

man to take Ginn's place, and the other
is the outfield in general, which has to
practically be made over for this
spring.
The infield from Clements, to Hen
derson to Harrison to Holden to Tor

and as is always the case when reg

is called, unless something unforeseen

Following the repulse Of repeated
counter-attacks, preceded by heavy

changed the direction OF their attack
and pressed strongly against the adj
vanced French line positions to the
west of Navarin Farm. But the Ger
man attacks broke down in the face
of the terrific fire from the French
machine guns.
For these operations the Allied line
has been enormously strengthened In

every time in this state. But in the
long run il our land is to reach its
potential value there must be a
great increase in the population of
