GENERAL WnnD INSPECTS NITRO.

Major General Leonard B. Wood,
commanding officer of the Central
Division of the United States Army,
inspected the explosive plant at Nj
tro Monday, spent an hour in Char
lesion as the guest Of former Scua-
tor and Mrs, William f. Chiffon and
left for Washington Monday evening
over the Chesapeake s. Ohio rail
road.
General Wood arrived in Charles
ton on Sunday evening, accompan-
led by assistant chief of staff, Colo
mel J. NJ. Petty, and his aide-de-
camp, Captain Landon Thomas. In

night the General and his party
went to Nitro wehre they put up al
the officers club.
General Wood went over the en-
tire plant and reviewed the two
regiments of regular soldiers sta
toned at the plant. 1t is believed
that General Wood will make a de-
tailed report on the conditions at
Nitro, although the future of the
plant has already been determined
upon by the government. The plant,
however, is in General Woods geo.
graphical unit, and his inspection
probably was in the nature of rou-
tine york
General Wood came to Charles
ton in the afternoon and while there
was taken for an automobile ride
by DR.. }. w. Boiarsky who placed
his car at the disposal of former
Senator and Mrs. Chiffon who en-
tertained the distinguished military
man, General Wood was shown all
over the city and expressed himself
as surprised at the city, its size, its
prosperous appearance and the
beautiful residential section, which
never looked better than on Mon
day.
General Wood was reticcnt about
discussing any questions, and Sim
ply enjoyed his visit in the city as
would any citizen.

formation, because it is the only tract
large enough that is for sale, and also
because of the ease with which the
district can pay for the property.
These are matters to which the people
have probably given but little thought,
and it is easy to understand how at
first blush they might be inclined to
criticise the school board g selection,
or at least to wonder why this selec-
ton was made.
With a view of setting the matter
properly before the people and making
clear the boards attitude the editor
made some inquiries this week and
found the facts to be as outlined
above. When the matter was explained
to one or two who made inquiry about
it they Immediately agreed that the
board had taken wise step, and what
would otherwise have taken the form
Of mild criticism was at once turned
to praise and the parties admitted
that they were well pleased with the
action taken thus far and declared
their intention of voting for the pur-
chase Of the selected site.
