R l M \ N CE FLIESI FROM CASTLE AS' STRANGERS COME !.
Princes Hermine's Old Home Given Over To Refugees
 From Ruhr District

BERLIN, Sept. S.--All romance has been crowded out of the famous castle of Szabor, In Upper Silesia, which Is the property of Princess Hermine, wife of former Emperor William of Germany. Szabor Is the most recent of German historic in- stitutions to be brought into. use for practical purposes. The stately rooms which years ago were the scenes of many social functions of royalty, and, In fact, the entire building, now are housing the strangest guests within the recollection of the oldest of the caretakers.
 Instead of being the domicile of princes and princesses the castle has SCOTS of families of workmen ex- pelled from the Ruhr and the Rhine land. They may have felt somewhat out of place at first, but they quick ly adapted themselves to their new surroundings.
 When the word was passed around that the German government was hard pressed for housing facilities properly to take care of the hun dreds of thousands of men, women and children who were being sent from the occupied area as an out come of passive resistance to the French and Belgians, princess Her
 
 home to the government. In fact, the princess made special Journey from Doorn, Holland, where she and the former Kaiser are living, to Szabor to put the castle in order for the new guests, who are to make it their home as long as is necessary.
 The castle was by no means strip ped. Much of tho ancient furniture remains and all the copper cooking utensils in the immense kitchen were left for the use of the refugees. The kitchen Is used as central cooking place for all the families. Part of the garden and the grounds near tho castle also have been given over Tor use by the refugees and for chill dren's playground.
 Hermine continues to supervise the operations of tho estate, which Is de- voted chiefly to agriculture. For this purpose she makes frequent trips to Szabor, usually taking with her sew eral of her five children. For hers self, Hermine has reserved one great room. This room she and her children occupy when they are at Szabor. They usually remain there a week or so on each visit.

DEATH RECALLs ARTIST

Princess Wilma Lvoff-Parlaghy, the eminent portrait painter. who is said to have painted former Elm peror William in more positions than any brother artist, caused an up- heavel in Berlin art circles somc years ago which the present gem eration of artists will never forget.
 Wilma, when some Sb years of age was most attractive and was in high favor at the Berlin court. Notwith- standing the outcries of the art critics, who charged favoritism the emperor sat for seven portraits by Wilma, each time garbed in dit- ferent uniform.
 Vilma's portraits of the emperor caused no particular wide concern outside art circles as William fre- uuently had sat for various wielo- CTS of the brush; but when Jury of Berlin art exhibitions ruled out talking. The painting was re1ect- ed, it was explained at the time, on inc ground that her work lacked the real artistic touch wAlch the jurors considered necessary to DIG ture which was to hang on tne Wal beside some of the worlds great orks. ,,s
 The jury's decision, however. did not trouble Wilma. She merely ap- pealed to the Kaiser, and the next day, by imperial order. her "ork Was hung in the gallery hall despite the protests of Berlin's best known ar lists and all their friends. Not long afterward Wilma was awarded the grand medal of the exhibition also, 1t was said, by special order or the emperor himself.
 Wilma, who was Hungarian, studied herewith two of Germany's greatest painters-Franz Lenoacn and Makart, and became acquainten with tho younger social set. Ter first husband was a German army officer, When he died she married the Russian Prince Lvoff, As a princess she became prominent m Berlin society life. She gave balls i, and feasts at the Phylharmony' where she sat on specially ar ranged throne and received the nom age of international society: She owned a castle on the Riveria anu fitted back and forth during the seasons between Berlin and France
 She painted Bismark, Yon Moltke; suderman, Prince Won Buelow and many other men of note. AHreo Krupp. the old "cannon-k king. sat for her. Wilma rendered krupp bill which he said afterwards was 1astonishing," "a and it is said he took mains never to encounter her asaih sTter he sat for his portrait.

Bahnsen to Hear
Dipping Complaints
In Thomas County

TOWNSVILLE, Ga, Oct. PA
special meeting of the board of com.
missioners of Thomas county has
been called for Tuesday afternoon,
October, 80. when DIR. Peter Bahnsen,
sen, state veterinarian, will present
and conference will be held on the
work of tick eradication in the
county.
The ineffectiveness of the tick
eradication work in Thomas county
has been blamed by the commits
sioners upon DR.. Bahnsen and his
force, and this meeting promises IT,
be an interesting one. Recently the
commissioners decided to withdraw
the appropriation made by the
county for this work, but later
agreed to continue it for time at
least They felt that as the work
had been in progress eight years
and the county was still not tick
free it seemed useless to continue
the appropriation.
All sorts of complaints have been
made, which will be aired at the
n1eetincr TueSdaV
