NEW SCHEDULE
Of HOURS FOR
STORES NAMED
SATISFACTORY TO ALL OF THE
MERCHANTS-ALL SOLDIERS TO
BE PERMITTED TO COME TO CITY
TWO NIGHTS EACH WEEK.

After a consultation with a major
ity of the merchants of the city this
morning the chairman of the Sumter
County Council of Defense formulated
new schedule of opening and closing
hours, to conform with the change in
the daylight saving time. .
1t is believed that this new sched-
ule will give unanimous satisfaction.
It has been submitted to the majority
of those in business within the fire
limits.
A new feature has been instituted
IN allowing the stores to remain open
until 10:3O o'clock on Wednesday
nights This was done largely because
Major Wash is agreeable to permitting
all of the men at Souther Field to
come to the city on Wednesday night
as we'll as on Saturday nights. Major
Wash readily declared his willingness
to cooperate with the business inter
ests of the city, and even went so far
as to say that he would let the mer-
chans' association or the council of
defense, name what night was prefer
able. They will not be permitted thus
to come, however, until the influenza
epidemic is over.
1t is held that to come within the
definition of fruitstand, it must be a
place of business whose chief trade
consists of fruit, soda water, tobac-
cos, etc.
The opening hour is optional after
$50 a. m. The closing hour, however
is specifically stated.
The schedule is as follows:
All stores not specifically mention
ed may open at $3.50 a m. and INST
cose at 6 o. m. Saturday closing hour
is 1920 p. m. .------.
Drug stores, Soda Fountains and
Fruitstands.-Open $50 g. m. Close

GERMANS FORCED
BACK ALONG OSE

NEW YORK, Oct 2S.-(Compiled
from news dispatches during the day.
German forces holding the sharp sa-
lieent between the Serre and Onse
rivers in France have been complied
to abandon thir positions, which they
have obstinately held for the past
tweve days. The French armies
either side of the salient launched a
blow on Saturday which fattened out
the angle in the enemy's front and
which may have had very definite
effect on the German line eastward
through Rethel and the Argonne for
est to the Meuse river.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 2s.-
Germanys rejoinder to President VIII
sons last note was rather unexpected
here, and pending receipt of the Off
cial text through the Swiss legation
comment is withheld Generally, how
ever, the note was not regarded as
one requiring an ansyer.
The diplomatic situation is just
where it was when President Wilson
Informed the German government that
i:s request for an armistice and peace
had been transmitted to the allied
governments. The next step erpectea
was the submission of terms of am
armistice to Germany.
While the military and naval coun-
ellis are drawing terms of an aTmis-
tice which will be tantamount to sur
sender by Germany, the political rep
resentatives of the entente powers are
erpecd to discuss the individual peace
views of their governments with q
view of formulating complete pro-
gram to be presented if Germany ac-
cepts the terms of the armistiee.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Germany
asks the Allies to name the terms for
Sn armistice. A note to this effect,
the unofficial text of which has been
obtained by news agencies, is on it's
way to Washington from Berlin.
The note calls attention to far

clares that peoples government,
which is in control of the military
powers of Germany, is carrying on
the negotiations.
1t is understood. that the Allies
have decided upon the terms to be ex-
acted but that these terms will not be
announced until the German note is
officially made public
Austria, too, has replied to Presi-
dent Wilson 1t is understood that
her note is couched in the "most con-
ciliatry terms" but no intimation of
its text has yet been made public.

TENDED BY DISTINGUISHED AS
SEMBLAGE WITH INTERMENT
IN OAK GROVE CEMTERY-- MA
SONIC RITUAL USED AT THE
GRAVE.

Announcement Sunday morning of
the death of Lawrence ], BlaIock,
caused universal sorrow throughout
Americas, as welf as over the state,
he having been especially prominent
in Masonic and fraternal circles. He
had ben i'll during several weeks, but
recently was somewhat improved, and
on Saturday visited his offices in the
city. Many friends who greeted him
upon the streets then were shocked
by announcement of his death early
Sunday.
Deceased was sixty-nine years of
age, and the Oldest practitioner at the
bar in Sumter county, both in point
of service and residence in Americus
He had been engaged in many noted
criminal cases during his practice here
81 d was one of the counsel for the
defense in the famous Wade murder
case, recently tried in Sumter SUI
perior court. The unusual exertion
he put forth in connection with the
trial of this case, and in the prepa-
ration of appeal briefs, it is said,
hastened his death, although immed-
late cause is given as a more specific
disease. Several years ago, deceas-
ed was associated in the practice
law heer with the nate George
Cobb, the firm being recog-
nized as among the leading legal
establishments of that time.
He was always an ardent exponent
of the principles of Masonry, and was
also interested in other secret fra
He was past worshipfuI
master of Americus Lodge, No. 13, F.
& A. M, and had an established rep
utation as lecturer on Masonic sub
jects. He frequently visited various
Masonic lodges throughout this sec
ton and was, perhaps one of the best
known Masons in Georgia. He was a
member of the Masonic Grand Lodge
of Georgia during many years, and
chairman of the committee n griev-
ances and appeals which meets an
nually in advance of the Grand Lodge
Following his death the officers Of
the Grand Lodge were notified and
several expressed their intention of
the funeral, which was held
this afternoon at three O'Clock, Rev.
Paul w. Ellis, pastor of the First
Methodist church, of which deceased
was member, officiatig. The rites
at the grave were those of the Masonic
fraternity, and interment was in Oak
Grove cemetery. The floral tributes
received were many and beautiful,
and attendance of the funeral the
largest in recent history here

attended in body, were Hollis Fort,
