School Folks
Think 1t Is
Just Another

The sentiment prevails out at the
Americus High school, especially
among the students of the institution
tnat life is just one difficulty after an
other. This time the quarterly exam
nations furnish the grounds for their
view and the worried look on most of
the students faces is evidence enough
that the examinations are not the
easiest that could be made.
The first of the examinations were
held Thursday and they will extend
for a period of two days. In the
those pupils so fortunate
as to be exempt from the examinations
are no trequired to report for duty un-
til Monday. But those who were un-
lucky enough to have to stand the
fierce tests will attend at the regular
hours.

SEA WATER IS MADE
FOR D|S|NFECTANT 7

LONDON, March 2.-Sea water
turned into a disinfecting fluid at
the cost of six cents for a hundred
gallons is the novel method of disin-
fecting hospital ships which has been
successfully tried out on the Aquitana
and is now adopted in the other trans
ports of the sick and wounded.
The apparatus consists of an cleo
trolytic cell, reversing switch capa-
lie of carrying 100 amperes, and some
insulated electric cable, costing in all
about $3.50. The cell, in order to in
sulate it, is placed on a rubber mat
and is raised upon a low table to en-
able the contents to be poured out
easily. 1t is filled with cold sea
water. A current of 60-75 amperes at
ITO volts is Oturned on and in about
five minutes there is obtained a solu
ton containing two parts of solium
hypochlorite or available chlorine to
900 parts.
The solution is excellent as steril-
lied of drinking water, one part chic
rine to one million parts, and as an
autiseptic for wounds used undiluted
as obtained from the electrolyzer. The
fluid is besides used in the butchers
and in the laundry for
sacking undyed cotton and linen
goods. 1t is added to the ships swim
ming bath in the proportion of one
part in two million parts, reducing the
bacteria in the water by 80 per cent.
This use Of electrolyzed sea water
has affected great economy by re-
placing expensive coal tar disinfect-
ants such as carbolic, cresol and the
like. In the case of the Aquitania, the
saving paid for the cost of the appar
atus in the course of single trip of
three weeks.

GROUND BROKEN
ON THE
DISTRICT FAIR

The fair committee of the Chamber
of Commerce held an enthusiastic
meeting on "Wednesday afternoon at 3
O'Clock. Chairman George R. Ellis pre-
sided at the meeting, all the committee
being present.
The matter of financing the fair pro-
position was gone into very carefully
and the comittee decided that team
work would be the very best way to
handle the selling of stock.
The report from the banquet was
very gratifying to the committee. The
list shows that over $1,1OO had been
subscribed:
Secretary Hyman made a suggestion
that there should be subcommittee
appointed in every county seat in the
Is counties of this district, and that
five men should be appointed by the
mayor of each town to constitute this
committee. This will make the fair in
reality a Third Agricultural District
fair, and not confine all the work to
Sumter county. Each county will be
asked to subscribe as much as $500 in
stock of this fair. This was carried
unanimously by the committee and the
secretary instructed to get busy.
Ground was broken Thursday morn
ing on the fair. Secretary Hyman,
Prof. Collum and J. NJ. France laid off
the fence and crowd of Third Aggie
Boys" under the instruction of Mr.
France went to work in earnest erect
ing the handsome steel fence around
the grounds. This being the first work
to be started on the fair, Prof Collum
asked Secretary Hyman to come out
ard talk to the boys and girls at chapel
exercise, which he did.

.ELKS WILL BOWL IN
A BIC TOURNAMENT

WASHINGTON, D. c., March Elk
Lodges in the eastern part of the Unit
ed States are going to participate in
the bowling tournament of the Atlantic
Coast Bowling Association, to be held
in this city starting April Sd, in such
numbers as to make "Elks' Night one
grand occasion. This fact became es-
teblished this week as answers started
coming in to the invitation extended by
the local lodge of Elks to their eastern
brothers.
Revere Lodge of Elks, Revere, Mass,
was the first to announce their inten-
tion of entering team in the big bowl
ing classic to be held in the National
Capital The EIks of Brooklyn, N. Y,
who have not only decided to put in a
number of teams, but have asked for
date, were others to line up for the
event, and before the week is up it is
expected that lodges up ond down the
Atlantic Seaboard will have asked for
accommodations in the affair.
A big street paade is one of the feat
ures that will make Elks day a gala
occasion, the Washington Lodge hav-
ing already started for this phase of
the tournament. Entries in the tourn-
ament close March 25th, at midnight,
and the entrance fees have started to
come in. 500 teams will enter, and the

BIC HOE HANDLE
SHIPMENTS NOW

NJ. B. Council, the manufacturer of
the Council handle which has
grown so popular throughout this
state as we'll as others, made another
carload shipment of handles to Allan
ia this week, the car containing one
thousand dozen handles, besides this
shipment about two hundred dozen
were shipped to different section of
this state and in South Carolina. Mr.
Council has shipped in all this season
about $4,000 hoe handles, and it is es-
timated that if $4,000 hands were all
strung out in a row, allowing each
two feet of space, they would cover a
distance of one hundred miles. 1t is
also estimated that the average hoe
chopper chops about an acre of cotton
per day, so if all the handles sold were
used by laborers in Sumter county it
would not take many days to chop out
the crop in this or any other county.

Another verdun Fort DESTROYED.

LONDON, March "A Central news
Amsterdam despatch this afternoon
says unconfirmed German reports are
to the effect that Fort Vaux, located
five miles northeast of Verdun, has
been destroyed by fire from heavy
Teuton mortars. French artillery
has been brought to bear upon its ap-
proaches, however, and this has pre-
vented Germans occupying the posi-
ton.
French shells fired during the bonn
bardment of Fort Vaux destroyed the
German battery demolishing the forti-
6cations, according to the same au-
thority.
Ninety thousand Germans have been
concentrated near Buzy, sixteen miles
east of Verdun, where it is believed
offensive operations will be resumed
Is soon as reinforcements from the

OVER HUNDRED Of
THOUSAND TEUTONS
Russians Lose a
Ship By a
Mine

The Germans have resumed the Of
fensive in the Woevre region, a violent
bombardment there being followed by
infantry attacks in heavy force at
Fresnes, ten miles southeast of Yer
dun.
Paris statement report the driving
out of Germans from a few positions
they admittedly penetrated in that re-
gion during today, while Berlin says
little concerning these operations.
The renewal attacks today gives
cClor to the prevailing military opin-
ion that the German attack upon Yer
dun has not been abandoned, but
merely halted The operations also
serve to call attention to the Woevre
region, where the Teutons have ad-
vanced along the lines south of Fort
Douaumont well to the base of the
Meuse heights.
Fl Both Berlin and Paris dispatches
loint to the difficulties barring an ad-
vance in this region. The Paris observ-
ers point out a stretch along these
heights from which the ground drops
abruptly to the Woevre plan, where
a great sea of mud makes almost i'm
possible the transportation of the
heaviest of the German artillery, and
where attacking troops can easily be
compelled to deploy under French
fire.
Berlin observers, however, advance
the view that the Teutons have prev
iously shown that similar conditions
have been successfully met and over
came and that the German general
staff is too well acquainted with the
topography of the section where the
operations are being staged to attempt
the impossible.
