Benson, April 7: -Just a short time previous to the athletic meet' at Lanes,Cedar Swamp school began ' practicing during the afternoons for 1 j the occasion. Some of the boys ! showed such marked activity that J Miss Bethea and Mr L H McCul- < lough, who had charge of the training, decided that Liston and Preston Howard would be the easy winners for the high jump in the contest. They were not wrong in this conjee" ?? ? ? J F iafnn ture.ior wun ease auu a^nuj ubwu made a high, elastic spring, cleared 4 feet and 8 inches,taking first prize, with Preston a close second. Desmond Tisdale, a student of the same school, is rather heavily built and takes long strides while casually walking, and one would scarcely i judge him to be a swift runner; but when on the track for a race his mettlesome spirit rises, as it were, and fills him with determination to win. He made the 220 yards, or 1-8 of a mile, in 32 seconds, coming out second, however. Later, he made a 106 yard dash in 13 3-5 seconds, beine the easy winner. In the apple race for the girls j Eula McCullough was ahead in the; first division and Mabelle Rembert j in the second division. But in the second race Eula tied for first place, j In the spelling contest one by one fell out after a hard fought battle with difficult words. Mr Speigner : gave clearly to each one the words, and it was really remarkable how beautifully each of them spelled1 most of those intricate words of1 which the English language is com- j posed. However, in the course of j time Miss Alma Duke, of Cedar, Swamp Graded school, remained standing as the victor. - i Cedar Swamp school lost a good j many points in the literary contest to the honor of the other school contestants.
