MISS TIMMONS BEREAVED.

Miss Floca Timmons, one of the
popular teachers of the Graded
School, was called home on yesterday
OF a sad mission. News had just
come to her family, and had been
forwarded to her, telling of the death
of her brother, Sergt Charles Tim
mons, in a German Prison Camp.
Sergt Timmons was missing in ac-
tion in one of the earliest battles in
which American troops were engag-
ed. No word could be had from him,
and the War Department could fur
rish no information. For many
weary months his people have not
known whether he was killed in ac-
ton, and his body lost, whether TAX
en- prisoner, or what had become Of
him. But the news has now come
that he was captured and made a
prisoner in one of the prisons in
Germany, and that he sickened and
died from disease before the close
of the war.
The pupils and friends of Miss
T;ramons greatly sympathize with her
in this sad bereavement.

AS WE EXPECTED.

AS Supervisor Stevenson was on
his way home on last Monday even
ing, he was stopped by a small boy
near Norris Creek and informed by
him that one of his companions had
been shot. The Supervisor stopped
and found young son of Mr.. Cress-
we'll, of the Mill village, suffering
from gun shot wound in one of his
legs. He and son of Mr.. George
Godfrey and the third boy, whose
name we could not learn, were out
hunting robins with a parlor rifle.
AS is usual in such cases, one of the
boys got shot.
The little fellow lost considerable
blood before Mr.. Stevenson bound
up his wounds and was very sick
from the effects of the shot, but Mr..
Stevenson soon had him in his car
and took him home, where he receiv-
ed proper medical attention.

ROADS AGITATION
GAINS MOMENTUM
Governor Cooper Urges Legislature
to Act-Australian Ballot Law to
Apply to Rural Districts-Con-
federate Commission
Created.

Columbia, Feb. ,26.-Agitation for
good roads gathered momentum last
night when Governor Cooper made
an earnest plea to the two houses
not to go home until good roads leg
islation of some character had been
enacted. The governor does not think
it judicious to delay in referendum,
as such procedure will mean the
loss of year. He suggests a gener-
al property tax and special automo-
bile license tax, supplemented by
graduated tax on abutting property.
The ways and means committee
will meet. this morning to consider
the bill introduced last Wednesday
by the committee on roads, bridges
and ferries.
Another measure is pending in the
senate, which has already been pass
ed by the house. 1t is likely that
some amendment calling for pro-
perty tax and license fee will be put
on by the senate, thus gaining sever
al legislative days.
The house last night adopted the
senate resolution to adjourn sine die
next Saturday, March 1. The appro-
priation bill will consume the time
of the general assembly the last few
days of the session, and if good
roads legislation is to be enacted, the
utmost dispatch with the matter will
be necessary.
The house also adopted concur
rent resolution, introduced by Mr..
Gray of Spartanburg, to memorial
ize the South Carolina delegation in
both houses of the national congress
to support the League of Nations to
Enforce Peace, as outlined by Presi-
dent Wilson.
The senate bill to create a COM
mission to handle all pension funds
for the Confederate soldiers was
passed in the house with number Of
amendments.
The Young bill from the senate to
amend the Australian ballot law 80
as to make this law applicable to ru-
raj districts as we'll as to towns and
cities, was passed by the house. Here
tofore, the law applied only to cities
and Incorporated towns. A booth is
to be provided for each 100 voters or
majority fraction thereof. The law
will not apply where there are few
er than so voters enrolled.

THOUSANDS START
HOMEWARD TRIP
Eighteen Troop Ships Leave French
Ports-Many Units Coming-De-
partment Announces Biggest
Movement Returning Soldiers
Yet Leaving for America.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The largest
homeward movement of troops since
the breaking up of the American
overseas army started last November
was announced today by the war de-
partment in reporting the departure
from French ports of 18 troop ships
with nearly 10000 officers and men
aboard. The announcement of the
movement was made coincidentally
with the issuance of a statement
that all divisions in France except
those of the regular army Would. be
returned as shipping becomes avail
able.
Among the transports listed as
having sailed were the Aquitania ant
Great Northern, each with more thar
5000 soldiers on board. The organi
cations which have sailed include
most of the units of the Ninety
second (negro) National Army Divi
sion; Independent units from the
Eighty-seventh (Arkansas, Louisiana
Mississippi and Alabama) Nationa
Army Division and a score of aero
squadrons.
The Aquitania has these units Of
the Ninety-second, Three Hundred
and Seventeenth Train Headquarters
the military police, the Three Hun
dred and Seventeenth Ammunition
Train complete and the Three Hun.
dred and Sixty-sixth Infantry com
plete. She also carries the Second

STORE BURGLARIZED.

The store of the Rosenberg Mer-
camille Company was entered We'd
nesday night by small negro boy,
and several dollars taken from the
cash drawer. Some person had been
going in the store at night for some
time, as was evidenced by the fact
that articles and cash were from
time to time taken. Wednesday night
Albert Rosenberg and Frank Roche
decided to spend the night there, and
catch the burglar.
Their watch was rewarded. During
- light a small negro boy enter
:? he store and made his way to the
Ssh dtawer taking the cash as al
ready stated. He was taken charge
of by these young men, and with him
in their charge they soon learned
that he had confederates. On yes
terday morning the police began to
round them up and soon had the fol-
lowing in the lookup: James Henry
Fisher, Tony Wharton, Henry Ogles-
by, Willie Walker, Arthur Wardlaw,
Ralph Rouse and Hubert Zimmer-
man. It is believed that still others
a:e implicated.
The entrance was secured through
The basement, the small negro getting
in: the basement through an oper-
ing in the window made by broken
glass. The other negroes acted as
piciiets and in case of danger were
to give the alarm.
1t is not believed that any great
amount of property has been lost,
but the catch will probably make
burglary unpopular as sport for
sometime among the negro boys
about town.

ASK CHRISTENSEN
! TO RECONSIDER
Finance Committee Says He Should
Not Resign.

Columbia, Feb. 26.-The finance
committee of the senate, at a meet
ing yesterday afternoon, upon the
motion of Senator Alan Johnstone,
the ranking member of the commit
tee, adopted by a unanimous rising
vote motion requesting Senator
Niels Christensen of Beaufort, the
chairman of the committee, to recon-
slider his announced intention to re-
sign from the senate after the close
of the present session.
Senator Christensen announced
several months ago that at the end
of this session he would offer his re-
signation. Since that time friends
and admirers of the senator from
Beaufort hive been insistent that
this intention be abandoned, and
they are hopeful that the action of
the finance committee today will have
such an effect.
Mr.. Christensen has represented
Beaufort County in the senate since
1905 and has served as chairman of
the finance committee since the ex-
tra session Of 1914.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

There is no use for the Peace Con-

the League of Nations, the whole

tice debate and the League of Ma
