This line of thought points, out
Italy's repeated disavowal that she
committed an act of war, therefore,
the question is manifestly not one

STUNT ERSCHOOLS SEEK
PART OF SLATER FUND
DR.. billiard Asked Appropriate
Portion of Foundation~to
Support Schools Here

Sumter's rural schools, recognize
ed as already among the best in
Georgia, are to be further improv-
ed, if plans of the county school
board to this end are n1atured.
Chairman j. E. D. Ship is now en-
deavoring to secure an apportion-
ment of the "Slater fund.- to the
support or rather enlargement of
the rural schools here, and to this
end has just addressed a letter to
DR.. James H. billiard, of Charlottes-
vile, Va, who is in charge of adj
ministering the fund, representing
ia permanent one from which schools
throughout the South are assisted
in such work as may be approved
by the administrator.
In his letter to DR.. billiard, Chair
man Shipp calls attention to the
fact that the schools here are main
tanned at the very highest stand
ard, with consolidation the rule
rather than an exception, thus
providing a high school education
for every child in the county, and
transportation from farm homes to
the consolidated schools established
in the several communities. Ex-
planning to DR.. billiard the prog
ress already attained by Sumter's
schools, Chairman Ship after set
ting forth the needs of the schools,
extends DR.. billiard an invitation to
personally visit the schools here,
and pleads that the schools here be
allowed to share in the funds which
he has to administer.
Chairman Ship today declared
the schools here to be the equal
of any in Georgia, and asserted
that only because of the large sums
expended in the construction of
new and modern school houses is
the burden of their maintenance
and expansion to be complained of.
Six qualification are necessary be-
fore any teacher can secure a place
in Sumter's schools, said Chairman
Ship, these being:
~ Every teacher must be a
Normal college graduate. % All
schools hold seven hours each day.
(3) The superintendent of each
school must teach all of his teach
ers under him every week, at least
40 minutes. (4) Quarterly exami-
nations are given by the county
school superintendent to all pupils
of the county schools, in order to
maintain a coordination and uni
form grading for all the schools
here. (5) A prize of five hundred
dollars is given every year to the
Ebest school in the county making
the highest average on all points.
CO. Every school in the county
must challenge some other school
for a spelling bee and a debate.
"On account of the fact that
we have built so many school
houses and have changed all the
schools from seven months to min,
months in the year cause the coun
ty to be very hard up and take,
very heavily. Perhaps no county il

 The report of the board says:
 We do not believe it possible for any company, either government or private, to mine coal in the Philip pones with commercial success un- less the industry is given protec- tive tariff
 The report also declares that un- less the coal properties can be leased to provite parties, the National Coal company should cease operations and liquidation proceedings be inaugu rated

WISE BIRDs-RoosTERSi

MADISON, N. J, Jan. 22.-Did you ever try to fool a rooster? Well It can't be done. Joseph Sodano proprietor of a poultry shop, tried the stunt and it turned out to be a fzzle
 Sodano owned a flock of hail and leather-lunged growers. The keeper of rooming house adjacent to the store complained to the Board of Health that neither she nor her roomers could sleep after the break of<day. The noise, she said, sound. ed like a parade of calliopes gone on a tear.
 Sodano received an official ulti. matlrm that the roosterian chorus must stop. It was then that Sodano thought he'd fool the roosters. The trick was to put black shades on the wire cages and thus the roosters would lose two hours of daylight by the two hours of darkness caused by the shades.
 But the next morning at the regu- lar time the roosters let forth a torrent of growing fiercer than ever.
 Sodano, after he received a second call from the health officials, shook his head and with a determined move started sharpening the ax.
