Williston public schools will open
Tuesday, September 4. This has
been decided by the board after the
question had been up for some time

dren might be needed to assist in
harvest. The light crop has removed
this possible necessity it is believed
and in line with recommendations
from high sources the local board
has decided to start school as usual.

away for several weeks is expected
to return within few days. Teach
ers for the coming year have prac-
tically> all been selected, the resigna-
tion of Miss Roxby at Westlawn,

ely" CLIMBED CHURCH
STEEPLE IN MOULTRIE

An unusual good opportunity to get
some real thrills is presented our
people, when Archie Crisp. the HUI
man Fly, will make his climb up the
hve-story building tomorrow after
noon and evening. The Moultrie OBJ
server says OF his recent climbs in
that city:
Saying that he needed little ex-
ercise Archie Crisp, the human hy,"
here for two Climbs" tomorrow, this
morning scaled the steeple of the
First Baptist church He hadn't an
nounced that he would give the ex-
hibition, The hour was early and
only few people were IN that part of
town, but those who were nearby
looked on with necks craned and
mouths agapc as they saw fingers
and toes put to such dangerous uses.
Crisp climbed the steeple from the
ground up in about five minutes.
About half way up he let his foot slip
to give the onlookers an additional
thrill.
The exhibition was enough to make
one gasp. The descent was accom-
plished in the reverse of the same
process as the ascent and in its first
stage it was just as moving. About
the time the feat was over, the news
had begun to spread and big crowd
gathered, but the ely appeared sat
listed with his little exercise and he
quietly left"
It's peculiar taste, which selects
this method of getting on in the
world, but as the public Graves for
this kind of excitement, there is al
ways some one who will take these
ultra-hazardous risks.
1t is worth coming to experience if
you enjoy excitement at the other,
fellows expense.

''Bone Dry Bill
May Reach Harris
Thursday Morning

Atlanta. Ga March 28-Aftcr a
debate which lasted practically all of
Tuesday afternoon upon whether or
not the legislature should submit the
new prohibition measure to a vote Of
the people to find out whether the
state really wanted bone dry prohi-
bition or not. the house Of representa-
tives voted not to let the people vote
on the question. and will proceed
today with the passage of the meas
ure
The question OF referring the meas
ure to the vote of the people was re-.
sponsible for interrup:lng the plans OF
the majority wing of the house to
pass the house bill Tuesday, but MEM
bers OF this wing were confident
Tuesday night that Wednesday night
will see the work OF the legislature
in passing a bone dry" prohibition
bill completed, and~it was expected
that the measure would be presented
for the governors signature Thurs
day. The success of this plan of the
majority wing. however, depends
largely upon the speed with which
conference committee can come to
an agreement upon the differences in
the house and senate tTis.
House Bill Perfected
The house bill was perfected Tues
day afternoon late, and, after a limited
debate of two hours and forty min
utes Wednesday, will be placed upon
its passage with not, the shadow of a
doubt of it going through
The senate bill will then be taken
tip Immediately for third reading and
passage. When the senate bill is
placed on its passage, the house bill
will be offered as a substitute and the
senate bill will be passed by substi-
tute, will then be transmitted to the
senate for its approval, which action
will eliminate the necessity of reading
the house bill three times, one time
each day for three days, in the senate.
Upon the first vote the senate, it is
expected, will. decline to accept the
house bill as substitute for the bill
already passed by the senate and the
bill will go to conference commit
tee representing each mouse.
The main difference between the
house and the senate bills is that the
senate bill provides for commission
err of prohibition, who shall act mere
ly as an information bureau, while
the house bill makes no provision for
a commissioner OF prohibition what
ever.

Washington, Dec. 13.-As Il warning
to the public to beware of published
stories that men at the army training
camps are unhappy, lonesome, with
out food and detected, the war depart
ment today made public letter from
Postmaster Wolfe at Chillicothe, O.,
dealing with a specific case.

Wolfe, "a syndicate seat of newspapers
published the story about (sol-
dier's name deleted). He was lone
some, and had never received a piece
of mail since being in camp. His pic
ture went with the article and it made
good reading.
Tons of Food Wasted
"Tn yesterdays mail alone he re-
ceived 1900 letters, 10 special deliv-
cry letters and parcels, and "a ordi-
nary parcels. 1t happens he can
neither read nor write. When our
Mr.. Gregg made an examinati n he
found nineteen soldiers sitting about
they had lots of fun at the expense
of sentimental women but got all the

RY w. s. FORREST.

With the French Armies in the
Field, Dec. 13.-I walked over hall
dyed by the blood of the first Ameri-
cans of the army to die in action
fighting the fight of right against
might.
Thru courtesy of the French army
headquarters, l was permitted to
spend a day and night IN the very
Il enches where Privates Gresham,
Hay and Enright per1shed in the Ger
man raid November 2.
The night was spent in a dugout a
few feet distant from the spot where
the first American was taken prisoner
by the Germans. Before dawn. ac-
compaEisd by French patrol party,
l went out over the exact spot on No
Mans Land where the Americans
made their first reconnaissance.
Later our party talked to a French
surgeon who priced as his most pre-
ciops possession piece of the his
toric German shell which wounded
the first American
Then, later, with an American col
league, Paul Scott Mowrer, of Chi
cago. we were guided by French
chaplain to a tiny village two miles
to the rear of the fighting line.
We found the town simply a ham
let. typical of this part of France.
We were guided to a ten acre field
surrounded by high stone wall. The
fields slipping surface was marred by
rusted wire entanglements
At the very bottom angle of the
wall, eleven fresh sod-tipped mounds
marked the resting places of Ameri-
can dead Wilted flowers covered
them. At the head of each was a five
foot. roughly hewn wooden cross
OF the eleven moup is. the first
three at one end were incIosed in
tiny, implanted pine fences. Earth
est away the crosses told US there lay
the body of Private Thomas Enright
Next was the grave of Private Merle
d. Hay and nearest of the three was
the mound covering the resting place
of Private James B. Gresham
The markers for these three heroic
Americans were octagonal wooden
name plates Their full names. with
the regimentaI numbers of each man
and the date of their death, was in
scribed on each and an interviewed
background of the stars and stripes
and the French tri-color made them
stand out prominently.
On the fence inclosing these graves
of the first three Americans to fall
is a wooden sign, with black letters
painted on white background
