on both banks of the Saik river.

Chenois wood and Fort Douamont,
both of which positions were recap
tured by the French during Tuesdays

In Macedonia, bad weather hinders
military operations, says the Paris
war Office statement.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
forces in Dobrudja are pressing the
Rumanians and Russians hard. Sofia
reports this army as in precipitate
flight toward the Danube, while Petro-
grad dispatches admit its retirement.
Berlin asserts that Teutonic forces
have reached the Hirsova district,

voda. The German war office state
ment also says that Field Masshal Won

advance today on the northern Ru-

In the west, Berlin declares that
French attacks east of Fort Douamont
in the Verdun region failed, and that
German artillery fire broke up an at

JUST A LITTLE COMMA
CAUSED ALL THE TALK

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 27-Women are
rot eligible to fill the Office of county
ordinary Governor Harris has issued
statement in his bulletin to the
newspaper men to the effect that the
error discovered in the law passed last
summer was after all only an error in
punctuation, and did not make women
eligible to hold the Office of ordinary.
The governors statement follows:
"The newspapers have called atten-
ton to the wording of the act making
women eligible as clerks to ordinaries.
The confusion arises over the fact that
the printer enormously inserted a
comma between the word ordinary,
and the word and the provision be-
irg that women could be appointed to
the office of clerk OF ordinary and the
court of ordinary This is further
made clear by another part of the act
which only provides that the words
clerk of ordinary shall be inserted in
cCde section 2167. The errors, there
fore, referred to have been due entire
ly to oversight on the part of the print
ers of the published acts"

WAR AND STATE
OFFICIALS LAY
LOW AND QUIET

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 27.-War
and state department officials today re-
nused to discuss either the source or
specific nature of the information on
which Secretary Baker issued a state
ment charging that bandit attacks on
American troops in Mexico, or on bor-
der towns had been planned. 1t was
explained in this connection, that the
channel through which the report is
considered so valuable that nothing
will be given out that might injure its
usefulness.
Secretary Lansing and Secretary Ba-
her both laid stress upon the state
ment that domestic politics had moth
irg whatever to do with issuance OF
the announcement The formal an
nouncement charges that certain un-
named American interests fomented
and is financing the threatened raids
and asked for statement today Sec.
retary Baker said the announcement
will have served its purpose if il
serves notice on lawless people in Mex
leo that we are both warned and pre-
pared"
Secretary Lansing, of the state de.
partment, whom Secretary Lansing
consulted before issuing the statement
ciewed the information upon which ths
war department bases its conclusion
although somewhat indefinite as to ID.

COUNTY CLUBS To
HOLD EXHIBITS
HERE TOMORROW

Tomorrow-Saturday is the day
when the boys and girls of Sumter
county, who are identified with the
organizations of interest and growth,
gather for their annual exhibits in
Americus. The Croxton building, on
Cotton avenue, will be used for the
boys exhibits, while Miss Brooks with
the girls exhibits will use the build
ing on Forsyth street, opposite the
Bank of Commerce between the City
Barber shop and the Lester Tailoring
Co. 1t was first planned for the girls
to show with the boys at the Croxton
building.
The Boys Pig club, the Corn club,
the our-Crop club and the Girls Can
ming club, are the four valuable organ
i2ations which will form the displays.
Demonstration J. G. oliver has
charge of the boys club and Miss FL
len Brooks is in charge of the girls
work.
The latest feature of the club work
is the Calf clubs. The Central of
Georgia railway has written Mr. Oil
vel, about the new work, and in a state
men they say:
Calf clubs are the latest devel-
opment in Boys club work. An effort
will be made to organize Calf clubs of
twenty-five or more members in GER
tain counties, particularly those which
are now free of the cattle tick. Boys
who can secure calf to feed and care
for, can enter these clubs; and in
counties served by the Central Of
Georgia railway where such clubs are
organized, the Centrals Shorthorn
bulls will be given as Calf club prizes,
instead of as Four-Crop prizes"
Mr.. oliver is interested in the new
proposition and is expected to take it
up soon.
In the meantime, the date for the
annual exhibit is Saturday, October
2Sth.
