S.?PARTIES OWIN REGARDING SCHOOLS Contrary to the impression which has been abroad throughout the community the past week that there are a number of cases of diphtheria among the school children, the facts as shown by^the anti-toxin records kept by the MeMurray Drug Co., are that there are now and only have been recently two cases of this disease among children within the Abbeville school district, and one adult case. Only two other cases havg'beer. reported in the county. There-is no visible evidence of any other contagious or infectious diseases among the schools with the exception of a few cases of mumps and a very few cases of skin diseases. Supt. J. D. Fulp is authority for the above statement of what be believes to ibe the factls,, so far as he has been able to ascertain aft&r diligent inquiry among the pupils, examinations by the teachers, and from Dr. McMurray, who, as is stated above, keeps a record of the antitoxin for diphtheria dispensed in Abbeville. The superintendent appreciates the thoughtfulness of the Parentteacher association in appointing a committee to inform him of the prevalence of contagious diseases, but so far this committee has made no report to him. He hopes that parents will noT be unduly alarmed, for all the teachers and principals have been instructed to immediatly report any suspicious ^ases.

J - ( I Washington, Nov. 16.-i-Naval ves-, ( I sels designated for discarding un- j, I der a limitation of armament agree- j. [ ment would have to be scrapped or j, sunk, naval experts declared today, . No satisfactory method of utilizing I naval vessels for any purpose other. 1 I than that for which they were de- j signed and built... has. ever been ', evolved, they said. I Hope of saving the discarded Ger-I. man fleet was voiced in Paris dur- j, ing the peace conference, these offi- , cers recalled only to be thrown out as impracticable. The German war- , ships coul^ not be used by other countries effectively on ac^unt of characteristic design and beause of the unusual calibre of ammunition' required. * I ^Attempts to remodel the German' fleet into merchant and passenger j ships also failed, naval constructors said, and familiar efforts today in j connection with ships owned by the j United States navy^were declared to be equally-useless. With the exception of certain light cruisers, which probably will 1 not be remodeled satisfactorily, in: s the opinion* of naval officers. In a 1 battleship, for example, they said,1 the heavy armor would have to be removed and all the bolt and rivet holes plugged and sealed and the ship would have to be literally "gutted" down to the very hull be1 fore remodeling could be undertaken. The engines, dsigned to drive the warship at a normal cruising speed for short spaces of time, it was asserted, would not be suited to pas[ senger traffic requiring constant high speed and would have to be re5 placed. The guns could be salvaged thse officers said, but the whole ship would have to be redesigned and rebuilt to suit a new purpose and would cost more than a new passenger ship. Moreover, it wa? believed ' the conference probabl^ would re1 quire that a converted warship be so , built as to make reconversion im* possible. | SPECIAL TERM OF COURT ' Greenville, Nov. 16.?A special criminal term of the United States court for the western district has ; been ordered by Judge H.
