UNFURLING
OF THE FLAG
The Anniversary of Washing
tons Birthday Appropriate
ly Observed

Washington birthday WAS ap-
propriately observed yesterday at
the public schools. Very interest
ing exercises were held III thc
rooms of the pritaary aud elemen-
tary schools. At roon the pupils OF
all the schools assembled on the
c,lupuS in front vi the Girls High
school building to take part III the
ceremonies OF the raising OF the
sla- on the very tall pole in front
OF this building.
The history Of the procuring OF
this nag pole is interesting. Last
sprinS. DR.. J. a. Mood. chairman
OF the City Board OF Education.
intina;el his desire to sec Two
aaS-poles worthy U1 the name take
the place OF those that were at
that time in front of the BOYS
High school building and the Girls
High school builuinS. respectively.
One afternoon, quite a number "i
the high school boys responded TO
his invitation. and, under his lead
ership, took trip Of about twenty
miles, bringing back with them the
flaC-pole that is IN front OF the
Bows High school oulding. Just as
soon as Mayor jennings heard that
DR.. Mood was looking for ilaS-
pole for the Girls High school
building, he procured one for him.
| This is the very tall and graceful
pole which now stands iii front OF
the. Girls High school building.
Both of these fiag-po!cS were plac-
cd through the courtesy and eiii-
cheney of the Sumter Lighting 60.
Mayor Jennings was invited to take
part in the brief exercises OF
YESTERDAY. but had to be absent on
account of professional business.
While the whole school stood at
attention. Dr. Mood raised the
! very beautiful flag. that. for the
rest Of the school day. was 20
spread its bright beauty to the
hallny brccZes. Every girl aud boy
received la3ling impression from
this ceremony. and they will always
have a greater appreciation OF the
significance of WasllnSton's BIRTH
day and a greater re. crence for the
Dag OF their country.
When this ceremony was COM
pleted, all the pupils were dismiss
cd except :he members OF the sec
ond. third. and fourth years of the
! High school These boys and girls
then entered the auditorium Of the
, Girls High school building. where
were held very interesting and very
significant exercises, under the aus
pieces of the Wade hampton lit
erary Society. in recognition OF the
anniversary Of the birthday of the
Father of Our Country.

past policy of each ycar making
This popular pleasure resort q little
better than the preceding, Year. has
begun the improvements "i tins
wear which arc 20 consist. according
to his present plans. in The boring
OF six new artesian wells. the
building OF additional terraces up
ON tllc- hillside in order that grass
might be planted. the building OF a
drinking fountain, and the putting
in of n number Of new swings for
.l, pleas,,r. Of All visitors 10 Pocal-
Ia.
Considerable difficulty WAS met
with in the boring Of the FIRST well.
although a good ftow OF water was
obtained al the depth OF little
over 300 feet. The flow Of this
we'll is estimated ut about 20 gal
Ions Of water per minute. Work
on This well was begun about TWO
weeks ago and all labor rewarded
10y the water which Was struck on
last Friday. Immediate work was
then begun on the second we'll.
The work of boring these wells is
in charge of Mr. r. Lee Jackson.
who is quite experienced in work
of this nature, having been IN thus
line of work for many years.
The Pocala of old times has pre-
viously been supplied with water
fron six large wells from which
the total of -. 900 gallons OF water
flows each huur 1t is now the hope
OF Mr.. Beck TO increase this flow
just double by the putting down OF
six additional wells.

II. Louchcur made this state
mcnt at a banquet in Lyons. at the
same time expressing the hope that
the Americans who were present
would cable his words to this coun-
Try. y few days before in an inter
! view he had spoken even more
plainly. ON this OCCASION he said :
you ask us TO pay our var debts.
We cannot pay. We cann;U pay
now and We cannot pay ever The
only possible way, in which We ever
could pay is in our goods. and you
Will not take our goods. We can
not pay in Our currency. You
wont take that You demand gold
aud YOU have ali the gold in the
world in your vaults. And now YOU
prepare to erect a tariff Wall around
your country that Will still more
completely bar our goods.
Probably considerable number
OF Americans will resent NJ. Louch-
ours remarks. and. despite the fact
that l." is not u member "f the
ministry. and. therefore. cannot he
said to speak for the French gov
crnncnt. his statement will not tend
to improve relations between this
country and Franco. Nevertheless. il
is altogether likely that what b.
SAYS is true Much Of it. OF course
is obviously true. France has rot
the necessary gold: she can pay
only IN goods. and VIC Will not let
