BOARD TOPROBE
SCHOOL TRUCKS
Wants to Know Whether
Past Cost of Operation
Is High

Much of the time of a busy SEES
sion of the Sumter County Board of
Education was taken up this morn
ing in discussion of the cost and
economy of operating trucks for
transporting children to the various
consolidated schools
There are ten of these trucks in
operation, at an average cost, it was
brought out in the meeting, of $125
each a month, which the board con
sidered rather high. There was con-
siderable discussion on the subject
in which all the members participant
ed.
Whether or not the board should
purchase trucks for operation next
year was discussed as well as the cost
of operating privately owned trucks
and the economy of both systems was
advocated by different members.
Finally, however, it was decided to
have committee composed of J. G.
Carter, George W. Walters, j. E. D.
Ship and E. j. McMath, investigate
the subject and report back to the
board at its next meeting. This CON-
mittee, appointed on the motion of J.
E. D. Shipp was instructed to recon-
mend the best method and action will
be taken by the board after the COM
mittee makes it's report.

IQlENJT1HIS
GERALDINE KIMBERLY.

Geraldine Kimberly, infant daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. C. B. Kimberly,
who died in Macon Sunday morning
at 1880 o'clock after an illness of
two months, was brought to Americas
on the afternoon train, and the fun
eral exercises were held at the fam
lily residence at o'clock, Rev. James
B. Lawrence, rector of Calvary
church, officiating. Interment was
in Oak Grove cemetery at O'Clock,
end a large number of sorrowing
friends followed the little body to
its last resting place. Surviving
relatives are the parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. T. Alexander, of Savannah,
maternal grandparents, and DR.. and
Mrs. L. T. Kimberley, of Empire,
parental grandparents of the child.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kimberley are receiv-
ing expressions of sympathy from a
number of friends upon the death
of their infant daughter. Believ-
inc consultation with a specialist
would save the baby's life, Mr.. and
Mrs. Kimberley carried the little one
to Macon week before her death
for treatment. 1t was found there
impossible to do more than had al
ready been done.
Geraldine was nine months old, and
was the second baby the parents
have lost at that age of nine months.
The floral offerings received by the
family attested to the esteem in
which the parents are held in this
community.
Mrs. Kimberley before her mar
riage several years ago was Miss
Louise Alexander, and has spent the
greater portion of her life in Ameri-
Gus. She left today for Empire, Ca,
accompanied by and Mrs. L. T. Kim
berley, parents of Mr. Kimberley,
and will remain with them for some
time

SOUTHER CROWD
PROVES SMALL
Disappointed in Attend
ance at Fourth of July
Celebration

The Fourth of July celebration at
Souther Field Monday drew dis
appointingly small crowd estimated
at five hundred people, with a pro-
gram of events which entertained the
visitors throughout their stay at the
field. The ball game between the
soldiers team and the McRae aggre-
cation was the chief event of inter-
est taking place, the score being Z
to 4 in favor of the local team. The
parachute leap also attracted some
attention.
The failure of Roger G. Williams,
who was advertised to make a dar-
ing exchange of airplanes IN mldalr,
to accomplish this feat was dlsap-
polntment to the crowd The TACT
that a heavy cloud came up just at
the hour this was scheduled prevent
ed its being pulled off, although two
planes. one piloted by Lieut.. X. B.
Woite, carrying Williams, and the
other by Lieut. W. B. Warde, ascend
ed to attempt the stunt" Warde's
plane, which was equipped with an
iron ladder to facilitate Williams
transfer from one ship to the other,
flew over Wolfe's plane, with VIII
liams a passenger below.
After circling the field several
times both machines descended, Will
ham announcing the atmosphere was
too choppy to admit of the stunt
beng successfully executed. Both
Wolfe and Warde agreed with him
in this statement, although at one
time it appeared to spectators the
two planes had gotten almost near
enough together TO make the trans
fer.
Williams rode for some distance
upon the wings of the Wolfe plane,
a feat itself requiring considerable
nerve.
The usual "stunt" flying earlier in
the afternoon entertained some OF
the visitors, but few Americas people
VINO went to the field were interest
ea IN this.
Boy Scouts who assisted in direct
ing visitors to proper parking places
and in handling the crowds, did their
work well, and are worthy of much
commentator, while the ladies who
served soft drinks at convenlentlS
placed stands added much to the COM
tort of the visitors.
The roads from Americas to the
camp were in good condition, and
at no time did any congestion occur
such as marred the celebration of
the GLORIOUS Fourth" at the field
two years ago.

Music Features S. S.
At First Methodist

The music furnished by the young
people at the Sunday school hour of
First Methodist church last Sunday
was especially attractive. Prof. Druk-
enmiller has trained his juvenile or
chestra in a most splendid manner,
and already the little boys of the cor
net orchestra are furnishing pleas
ing programs. The little girls who
are learning on the violin gave sew
eral selections which merited much
praise. Little Misses Veta and Meta
Herring, under the direction of Mrs.
Luella Knox, gave medley of songs
without accompaniment of any kind,
and their voices in duet were very
sweet and clear. These musical fea-
lures add greatly to the charm of the
devotional exercises of the hour.

Mrs. Emma Boring, 80,
Suffers Slight Stroke

Mrs. Emma Boring, an aged lady
living on Gilmore street, suffered a
slight stroke of paralysis Monday
evening while sitting at supper. All
day she had been unusually bright
and active, engaged in the duties of
he household, and it is thought that
the intense heat of Monday was par
tlcularly the cause of her indisposi-
ton. Mrs. Boring was resting very
quietly Tuesday, having regained the
use of her speech, and was in her
usual bright and cheerful mood.
Mrs. Boring recently passed her
elghtieth birthday, celebrating the
happy occasion by having a family

NO MORE INFLUENZA UN-

This is the conclusion from the in

Lancet last November that there
would be a recurrence of influenza
in January and February of this
year
Medical authorities of the Public
Health Service here say that DR..
Brownlee has probably reduced what
is called the 'periodicity" of influ-
enza to known law. DR.. Brownlee's
Investigations seem to show that in
fluenza occurs at regular intervals of
33 weeks, providing the 33rd week
does not fall between June and De-
cember, in which case the recurrence
might be expected at the end of Sc
weeks or 80 weeks.
In other words, influenza is a cold
weather infection. The germ which
is responsible for it apparently does
not thrive in warm or hot weather.

or becomes attenuated" as the physi-
clans say.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told to beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs. low
ers the vitality and paves the way
for the more serious diseases. Peo-
pie who contract pneumonia first take
cold. The longer a cold hangs on
the greater the danger, especially
from the germ diseases, as a cold pre-
pares the system for the reception
and development of the germs of
consumption, diphtheria, scarlet fever
and whooping cough. The quicker
you get rid of your cold, the less
the danger of contracting one of these
diseases. Chamberlain Cough Rene
dy has a great reputation as a cure
for colds and can be depended upon.
1t is pleasant to take. m
