EIGHT CHILDREN OF
WASHINGTON NEGRO
HAVE SAME BIRTH

Washington, Ga, Jan. 23.-One
of the most remarkable birth record:
which has come to the notice of the
census-takers in the country, is thai
brought to light in Washington, Ga.
Ben Anderson, a resident of Balti
more, a negro suburb of the city, i:
the father of eight children, sever
of whom are living with him and
whose ages range from seventeen tc
six, whose birthdays fall on the same
day-May 26.
Another peculiar feature of this
birth record is the fact that there
are two sets of twins and two years
elapsed between the births of the
children, save the last child, which
is three years the junior of the sew
enth child.
Neighbors of these darkies, who
are we'll respected in Washington,
vouch for the correctness of this rec
ord.

ACTS TO PREVENT

DR.. Rayford Power, chairman OF

city schools to notify parents that no
children will be permitted to attend
school, who come from home where
there,s is a: case :, of influenza. The
public GENERALLY will appreciate this
prompt action on the part Of the
board of health as there is every
evidence that any congestion OF
children, especially in the schools,
where large number Of pupils arc
in q close contact for five hours
each day, promotes the spread of
the epidemic.

And not since Sardanapalus, last
of the Kings of Ninevah and Assyria,
spread feast before his friends has
a finer dinner been offered a waiting
congregation than that served by Col.
T. G. White, of Greenville Street, to
forty of his friends Friday evening
last. We can prove it by Col. Bob
Link, who perhaps was the only gen.
tleman present acquainted with Sar-
danapalus until the Colonel intro
duced his majesty in Abbeville at a
possum supper some years ago.
Col. White took sweet. revenge on
Will Barnwell and Corp. Kerr, in the
after dinner games of setback, by
putting them up against Col. Dick
Sondley, champion player of the Un-
tied States and South America, who
completely annihilated the enemy as
he has done Corp. Kerr and Jim Nc
MILAN on several occasions. Daley
Barksdale went home feeling a good
deal like Will and the Corp. because
Uncle Jim, unencumbered with the
poor playing of Col. Pat. Roche had
no trouble in humIbling Col. Daley in
the dust. Col. Roche, unencumbered
with the poor playing of Uncle Jim,
and with the assistance of Col. Will
Calvert made Col. Thomas Thomson

Col. Jim Mcmillan has invited a

On February % a memorial service
will be held in Abbeville to deliver
the French Memorial Diplomas to the
nearezt of kin of those service men
who died during the war, whether
killed in battle, dying of wounds, or
other cause, in France, United States
or insular possessions.
These diplomas are to be presented
by the French government thru the
local Post of the American Legion.
Similar services will be held on the
above date in every county in the Un-
tied States.
About rs Abbeville County men
were killed or died during the war
and diplomas will be presented to the
nearest of kin of all of these men.
The memorial service will probably
be held in the city hall. The full list
of the men from this county who
sacrificed their lives in the service
during the war will be published later.
A Post of the American Legion will
be organized in Abbeville this week.
1t is not generally known that there
is a charter for such a Post already in
the, possession of Is former service
men and that this charter is the Sec
ond one that was issued in this State.
Some time ago an effort was made to
organize Post here, but because OF
the apathy of many former service
men it was decided to wait awhile. It
has been thought best to affect the or
ganization at once, with no attempt
at a large initial. membership and
this will be done. There are prob
ably Is men who have already been
approached who are interested enough
in the movement to make the begin
ming possible. 1t is thought that
when the Post has been organized
that the memb bership will grow.
The American Legion has been mark
ed success in other cities and there is
no reason why Post here would not
meet with enough support to guaran-:
tee success.

\ WHISTLE.

II. s. asks: Are the spark plugs fitted
with a printing attachment, useful IN
starting an engine In cold weather?
installed upon my engine an explosion
whistle, attached TO a spark plug, but
find that oil is drawn onto the sparkling
points, when the whistle is operated, so
that the current Is short circuited and
the cylinder fails to fire. Can / have
hole bored in the cylinder where this
whistle can be installed?
Answer; Printing plugs are helpful
in strating an engine and convenient in
that the plug does not have to be re-
moved In order to perform the br1ming
operation. The most practical manner
in which to mount this whistle would
seem to be to drill and tap a hole of
suitable size and thread in the cap,
which is over one OF the exhaust valves,
and screw 1t therein.
