CLEARING WINES

London, Aug 20.--( Correspondence
of The Associated Press. THE
American Navy is having tremen-
dous task in sweeping the North Sea
of the $4,000 electrical and highly
sensitive mines they planted there.
Explosion by electricity is the method
now employed. Some were sunk very
deep as deep as submarine could go
Each mine was fitted with anten-
nae suspended by floats so that the
huge field was not only charged with
mines, but had also become mass Of
sensitive fcelers to explode them
Should submarine come in contract
with an antennae the mine. at short
distance away at the end Of the ant

The problem has been to explode
the mines far enough away from the

forestall the danger of the explosion

of the Superior court at the court
house were this morning moved tenn
porarily into the old county court
room, to make way for the install

vaults which are to house the records
of this office and the county ordinary.
Ordinary Cobb's records have been
moved from the old vault into his
office.
With the steel parts of the vaults
piled high in the court house corri-
dors, a gang of convicts were put to
work early tearing out the old parti-
ton between the clerks and ordin-
ary's vaults, following which they
began laying the solid concrete floor
over which the steel work is to be
erected.
These new vaults, which were or
dered by the county commissioners
some time ago, and which will cost
something over $4,000, are expected
to make the county's records en-
tirely safe from destruction.

that he was most favorably Impress

that he would take the invitation uT1~
der most serious consideration. He
declared that in all of his years OF
travel over Georgia, Florida and 9TH
er nearby Southern states in his re-
vival work he had never yet come
upon the community that so meas
ured up to his ideals as Americus, az
seen by him during his stay of two
weeks here. He stated that the city
was ideally located geographically
for his purposes, being in the center
of his field of work, and that he
looked very favorably upon the idea
of bringing his family here. At the
close of his talk it was the opinion
of the congregation that Rev. Dun
away was very much inclined to ae-
cept the invitation.
The two weeks revival at the Lee
Street church came to a close last
night with rousing meeting, at;
which the church was filled to over
flowing, and at the close of which
a great throng came forward in re-
sponse to the invitation of the evan
gelist to start new life. The morn
