Two carloads of oats and other
valuable feed stuff were destroyed
Monday when fire of unknown or

Statham's farm at Cobb, Ga. Ten
mules and a number of pure berd
hogs were removed from the blaz-

the roof fell in. The building and
its contents were partially insured.
At the time the structure caught
fire, Mr.. Statham was in the city,

ham and mother, Mrs. Ida Statham
being the only ones on the prem
ises. The live stock was run from
the barn by Mr.. Statham's siste-in-

the fire was reaching serious pro
portions.
Five other barns and the resi-
dence, which are in close proXim-
ity to the destroyed structure, were
not damaged, although it was fear
ed for a while that sparks from the
burning building would ignite one
or more of the barns.

FAVORABLE REPORT
RECEIVED BY BOARD
Several Important matters Yet
to Be Discussed By Educa-
tional Body

The Sumter County Board of
Education rescinded its former ac-
ton and today dissolved the COM
bined Anthony Huntington school
district, placing the two districts as
ehey were prior to the August meet
ing of the board, when the resoIu-
ton combinirg them was adopted.
The action of the board was unan-
imous, and came about after
lengthy discussion.
About 80 days ago an election
was held i'll the two school districts
and the schools were consolidated
into what was to be known as the
Huntington school, district. Follow
ing the election, Trustees were cleo
Jed an dthe election was ratified bv
the board of education. Immc-
diately after taking office, the
newly elected trustees voted to To-
cate the consolidated school at
huntington, thus closing The An
thony school.
Much feeling has existed from the
first, and the efforts Of the board
in attempting to reconcile the fac
,ions were unsuccessful
In determining today to. restore
the two districts to the their ORIGIN
al status, the board was guided
largely by a desire to make the best
Of a situation, of which reconcilia-
zion seemed impossible.
A resolution was passed by the
board at its afternoon session stat
ing the action to have been taken
"for the best interest of the dis
5ricts of Huntington and Anthony
schools"
Reports received by the County
Board of Education Tuesday morn
ing show the county schools now
open have large or larger atten-
dance than usual. This indicates,
according TO Sput. Moore a healthy,
condition in the county, from IN
educational standpoint, and would
seem to show that the attendance
this year exceed last.
All of the schools except Hunt
ngton and Shiloh, are open, and
these two will open Monday Sept.

The treasury administration does
not approve of the publicity section
even though it allows only the name
and address of the taxpayer and his
total tax to reach the public eye. It
has stated repeatedly that the pub
