Foe Does Very Little
Fighting Since
Last Monday.

Stunned by eseverc punishment
inflicted by the British and French
the enemy for the moment has
given up attempts to gain furth-
er hill positions west Of Mont
Kennel. Meanwhile the Ger
mans are presumably reforming
for another assault ON the allied
defense.
The German occupation of Mont
KENNEL, although stragetic loss
has not enabled the enemy to en-
crOach further nor apparently
bring any near the evacuation of
the ilattened Ypres salient.
Since Monday. when the Germans
strove desperately but unsuccess-
fully to enlarge their gains, only
local fighting has been reported.
Strong artillery bombardments con-
tinue, however, on both the Elan
ders and Picardy battle-ii fields.
On the Toul sector American
aviatOrs have brought down
German machine, this being the
third in three weeks.
In MesopOtamia the British
have captured two towns and
nearly 900 prisoners north of Bag
dad.
Chancellor Won Hertling has
informed the Lower House of
Prussian Diet that il must pass
the electoral reform bill. Appar-
emily the chancellor fears grave
disorders if the bill is not passed

"Oyer the Top" is just that much OF

The prospects for the union station
are very bright right at this time, ac-
cording to local railroad officials
There seems to be no doubt but what
the joining of the two roads here, as
far as passenger and freight business
is concerned, would eliminate lot of
energy and money. The Railroad Ad-
ministration is backing the movement
and is being represented by District
Directors General Markham, with head
quarters at Atlanta.
With Col. Egan on his visit to
Greenwood this morning were V. V.
Boatner, general supervisor, w. H..
Watkins, master mechanic and J. w.
Rea train master. They met Supt.
Patton, of the Southern Railroad and
one Of two other officials and a long
conference followed.
The plan of the Railroad Admins
tration is to bring about an efficient
railroad system by eliminating all
sources of expediture, which can pos
sibly be eliminated.
This method would apply to the un.
ion station at Greenwood by the elm
mat on of the freight and passenger
office of either the Southern or Y. &
N. V. Railroad. Owing to the fact
that the Y. & M. v has just complet-
ed modern new passenger station
ard are improving their freight term
inal, there is every likelihood that The
Southern station and freight ware
house, if any, will be discontinued and
moved eastward nearer the Y. & M.
" plot.
While present plans seem to be
rather vague, no real objection has
been discovered in the plan of giving
a union station to Greenwood.
The fate ofathe project now hangs
in the result of the present trip of
the rail officials over the western part
of the Southern in this section.
Secretary F. Herr, of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, has been advised by
officials of both roads that there would
be no decrease in the freight service,
no matter what plans were effected.
1t is understood that the switching
tracks will also be continued in opera
ton on both the Y. 4 NJ. V. and the
Southern.

ward said, mot two feet high. lie
weighed less than sixteen pounds; and
was the smallest child | ever saw that
could wall alone He was a per.
fectly formed, bright-eyed little fel-
low, with light hair and rurry cheeks,
enjoying the best of health. He was
exceedingly bashful, but after some
coaxing, he told me that he was the
son Of Sherwood Stratton, and his own
name was Charles S. Stratton"
After engaging the services OF tom
Thumb at three dollars a week, plus
all expenses for himself and parents,
Barnum carefully educated the tiny
boy, who had a great deal Of native
talent, When he had exhibited the
prodigy in the United States two
years, Barnum took him abroad, ac-
companied by two tutors.
As he progressed, Tom Thumbs
salary was increased, and finally he
became Barnum's partner. In Lon
don, Paris and other cities the little
entertainer created furor of amuse-
ment by his clever songs and imper-
sonations, and by his general intelll-
renee in any conversation. The royal
families Of Europe and many Of the
entertained him and showered
nm with gifts, so that toward the end
Of the tour, a special car was filled
with the jewels and other costly fav-
ors. Such a genius was Mr.. Barnum !
for advertising that vast audiences |
JhrOnged To the theatres TO see and |
hear Tom Thumb, Eleven hundred |
dollars was the first days receipts in
Paris, where, along with the royal
family, Tom Thumb rode in his own
little coach, drawn by tiny
ponies ,and with liveried coachman
and footmen. The little man was

iis cieyerest impersonations was Of ,
Bonaparte, which stunt de-
ightcd the Duke Of Wellington.
