LAURENS CITY SCHOOL.

=
September 12, 1914 marked the op-
ening Of the Laurens city schools, with
our new superintendent, Mr. b. L.
Parkinson at the helm. Under his di-
rection and management the school
has moved forward quietly and stead
ily
October IS. was the first event OF
Importance in the school year, this be-
ing the date of the County Fair. Our
pupils, by grades, took prominent parts
in the pageant, Uncle Sans birthday
and the awarding of the prizes found
the tenth grade, which represented
Uncle Sam and his attendants, with a
blue ribbon and the first grade with
red ribbon.
Following close upon the fair, came
the Teachers Institute, from the fourth
to the seventh OF November, during
which time the teachers from all over
the county had the opportunity Of cx-
amining our building, observing our
teachers at work, and OF attending
splendid lectures by Mcssrs. Hand,
Swcaringen and Harms.
Among the helpful things that have
marked our chapel exercises this year,
is the flag salute that we have all
learned; the German songs by the
tenth grade; celebrations by the pupils
throughout the school, Of the birthdays
Of Lee, Jackson, Lincoln and Wash
ington; appropriate Thanksgiving ex-
ercises, ending with collection Of
$61.90 for the Belgians' Relief Fund,
and lectures by the ministers Of the
town and other noted lecturers.
In November the Timrod Literary So
cicty was organized and in addition
to the fortnightly meetings, we are
preparing a public program to be CIV
en- by especially chosen members Of
the society.
In athletics we have been actively
engaged in organizing tennis clubs,
baseball teams, both being branches Of
well-organizcd Athletic Association.
In the near future we expect to have
a tennis tournament and a series OF
ball games.
Thus far we have had only few en-
tertanmcnts, chief OF which was the
concert given by the Metropolitan Con-
cert Company on the evening OF Feb
ruary 10Th, and "EIow the Vote was
Won, by the tenth grade. We are
looking forward however with inter
est to the presentation Of two Latin
plays, "a Roman Weddings" by the
! tenth grade and "A Roman school," by
the eighth grade.
IN conclusion few words must be
said in regard to the organization and
supplies OF orr school. A fine set Of
maps have been pcrchascd twenty
new books have been added to the IL
hrary; the library has been catalogucd
and VIC have as our librarian, Miss
Emily Mcng. In this connection we
miGht add that the tenth grade is
taking steps to furnish and equip a
room to be known as the Latin room
\ plan newly adopted in this school
and one that We arc watching with
interest is the preparation Of all
studies in the school room by pupils
below the seventh grade.

of Repeated Assaults of
Teuton Forces.
RUSSIAN ADVANC is CHECKED
Austro-Gernan Troops Make Attempt
to Outfiank SIaVs in Carpathians
French Troops Active in
Arsonne Region.

London, April 22.-The Germans are
making repeated attempts to recapture
Hill 60, near Ypres, which the British
took on Sunday, and, according to
Field Marshal FTench's report, have
been repulsed with great loss.
There has been activity in many
other points along the Western front,
and Berlin, which is more communica-
tive than Paris, says the Germans
have made progress in the forest of LIE
Pretre near st. Mihiel, and reports the
repulse of French attacks in other sec
tions from Champagne to Alsace.
The Russian advance in the Carpa-
thians now has apparently come to
full stop, for reports from that region
speak only of attempted attacks which
were repulsed, both in the mountains
and in the direction of Stry. The
Austro-Germans have made an out
thanking effort to support this latter
movement 1t is stated from neutral
sources that the Austrians have vir-
tually evacuated Bukowina.
Fire Checks Attack.
In the Champagne, near Villa-Sur
to attack, our artillery prevented them
from leaving their lines.
In the Argonne region, near Baga-
telle, purely local but very energetic
attack was stopped short by our fire.
Between the Mouse and the Moselle
we repulsed German attacks of vary
ing Importance, some of them being
merely reconnaissance at the
Bots DAILY, five at the Bots de Mont
mare and one at the Bots LIE Pretre.
We attacked to the north of Fliry and
captured another German trench. We
established ourselves there and con-
nected it with those which we had pre-
viously taken.
Our gain of the last few days thus
extended over a continuous front OF
more than 200 meters (about half
mile).
The enemy left more than 800 dead
on the ground"

FRANKS APPEAL DISMISSED
The Federal Supreme Court Decides
Against Atlanta Man in Habeas
Corpus Proceedings.

Washington, D. c., April 2O--Leo NJ
Frank, the Brooklyn man under death
sentence for the murder of Mary Pha-
gan, an Atlanta factory girl, lost an
other step in his fight for life in the
supreme court of the United States
today.
In decision to which Justice
Holmes dissented, the court dismissed
Franks appeal from the federal court
of Georgia, which refused to release
him on a writ of habeas corpus.
Frank contended that alleged mob
violence" at his trial and the fact that
he was absent from the court room
when the jury returned its verdict
had removed him from the jurisdiction
of the courts of Georgia.
The majority opinion of the supreme
court rejected all those contentious
and declared Frank enjoyed all his
legal rights in the Georgia courts.
Seemingly no other avenue of escape
from the death penalty is open to
Frank through the courts. The state
pardon officials might relieve him.

Girls, young ladies and misses. it's
no use to spend your coin on rouge
and powder to make yourself look
beautiful. 1t will not improve your
looks And if you insist upon wearing
small. tight. shoes with high heels. you
can depend upon it that they will
bring hard, drawn lines in your face.
Another menace to beauty is four
pound skypiece on your belfry. This
is all according to DR.. Ida c. Nahm.
who makes a sweeping denunciatlon
of these things. If you want to retain
your youthful beauty for ever and
ever, follow these dictates, says the
doctoress: Plenty of soap and warm
water. lots of outdoor exercise, espe-
cially walking, and drink two quarts
of water every day. These will insure
health, red cheeks and a slim. youth
full figure. Doctor Nahm recommends
the water cure and walks especially
for ladies with too much embonpoint-
She says it's the safest, surest and
quickest way to reduce.

THEY ASK u. S. TO INTERVENE
Missionaries in China Declare Japan
csc Demands Constitute a Grave
Menace to America.

Picking, April 19--Intervention by
the United States in the negotiations
now proceeding between China and
Japan is recommended to President
Wilson in the appeal recently sent to
him by American missionaries in this
country. The message was one of
5000 words and was forwarded to
Washington by cable. 1t characterizes
the japanese demands on China as
acts of aggression such as eventually
will present a menace to the United
States Recalling the fact that Japan
has at present in this country double
her usual quota of troops amounting
to 10000 mem the missionaries urge
that Japan be notified that the excess
of troops should be removed.
The understanding here is that a
Chinese official, or several of them,
paid the cable charges, amounting to
nearly $4,000, on the message to Pres
ident Wilson
