MANY SEEK TO
ENTER ACCIES
SCHOOL HERE

A period of prosperity greater than
it has known before is being expe-
rienced at the Third District Agricul-
turaI School, just outside of the city
limits, according to ]. NJ. Collum, the
principle, who says that the school
now has more applications from pros
pective students than can be accommo-
dated, apparently because of the clos
ing of other schools because of the
health condition.
Notwithstanding the experiences
that the whole country has had with
in the last four years, the institution
has continued its work without inter
ference. During these four years
there has been erected a teachers
cottage at the approximate cost of
$4,000, a new barn at $1,000 a girls
home at $500, and an elementary
school building at $500, and an acad-
emic building is under way of con-
struction on which has been spent
over SAC, 900. These expenditures have
been made without having called upon
the city of Americas or the county of
Sumter for a single dollar.
During the months of August or
September there appeared in the
newspapers the statement that the in
stitution was hOpelessly in debt THE
real facts are that our bank reported
on the first day of January that the
building fund was overdrawn for an
amount less than the cost of one of the
four columns that stands on the front
porch of the new building, costing
about $780," said Mr.. Collum. He
stated further: I'VE are receiving at
the end of every month $3.50 for
maintenance and support.
''The attendance is as large as it has
been during either of the last four
years, while due to the unfortunate
conditions that the city schools have
had to face, there is an overflow of
students asking to be admitted to the
school that it is beyond the physical
ability and class room space to ac-
cOmmodate.
CAS- compared with other parts of
the country, the health conditions at
the school seem to be ideal, ply
stefan not having been called to see a
student for any cause in either of the
.dormitories since January l.
Another thing that the public does
not seem to know, or If it has ever
known has forgotten, is that the Third
District School adopted military train
ing in 1908, when it was furnished
with ordnance supplies by the War
Department at date when other high
schools of the State were really OPP
posing such instruction. That for 10
years the students of the school have
worn the regular army uniform desig-
mated by the marks of high school
cadets and that this institution has
furnished more captains and first
Heutenants to fight the world war
than has any other high school south
of Atlanta. At present the military
instruction at the school is in charge
of man who has had four years of
experience in the regular army, and
who was educated in one of the lead
ing schools of science in the United
States"

represented in yesterdays parade by
nag, on which glit;ered eleven roia
stars. On top of all that the towns
people dedicated the athletic ground,
to be known hereafter as Roosevelt
fleld, and flag pole that rises 100
feet
Major General Leonard Wood was to
review the parade of veterans and de-
liver the principal address at the cor
ner-stone laying. He was prevented
from coming at the last minute, how
ever, by the illness of his daughter.
who was stricken suddenly with ap-
pendicitis In his place came Major
General Charles Bailey. the new com
mander Of the Department of the Fas
who commanded the Wildcat divi
sion overseas. When Pelham learned
he had abandoned his luncheon at
Governors Island in order tc come
they gave him an extra cheer.
The celebration was under the direc-
ton Of the Mems Club Of the Pelhams
ham and Pelham Manor, and most
everybody was exhausted from cheering
everybody else by the time they got
around to the street dancing shortly
before 10 p. M
The parade started at $3.50 o. m. at
the map factory in North Pelham and
then wound through Pelham and finally
into Pelham Manor reviewing stand
Civil War and Spanish War veterans

now be debating the terms of peace
to the world.
I'm Volume So, page SO and 80, OF
the Congressional Record, February
1915. the Senator pointed out that one
power had secured control of the seas
and was in a position to buy munitions
OF war from US, giving it great ad-
vantage. He insisted that we should
withdraw that advantage from it by
prohibiting the sale of these supplies
to it. He declared that we had a re,
sponsibility in what was going on and
that the United States should lead the
neutral countries of the world in
aggressive steps to bring the war to
a close
THAT was while Germany was in
full occupation of Northern France and
Belgium, and when an end to the wal
could only have meant ending it with
German victory"
This is most obnoxious form Of
filibuster" Senator Hitchcock said il
reply. 1T is true that | did introduce
the embargo resolution. and I still
think it would have been wise to have
maintained our neutrality and MOI
make this country base of supplies
for one side in the war.
Holds to Early Views
GAS matters stand now, | can see
that it may be better that militarisn
has been killed that the empires OF
Germany, Austria and Russia have beer
wiped from the face Of the earth. But
viewing the situation as we could set
it then, if we had adopted the pro
gramme I urged. the war would have
brought peace without victory, woulc
have ended with a compromise, and the
United States would probably not have
been drawn into the war.

resolution on December Z, 1914, tn,

gress after the beginning of the war

neutral At that time, it must be re
membered, 1t was the universal desire
of this country that we should main
tain our neutrality. No Senator ros'
to move for a declaration of war OF
Germany. The only interests that op
posed the policy l suggested were TIL
manufacturers who were making grea
fortunes from the production of wa
munitions.
"Not only that, but the Senator from
Washington, Mr.. Poindexter, himsel
supported my resolution. | later Of
