Williams is charged b% the police with breaking into a stort in thZst city. The charge against him will be burglary and larceDy and if convicted he will get a severe sentence. It is very gratifying to learn that Mr. C. W. Wall who was so badly in jured at the oil mill and carried to the Clumbia hospital, is improving rap. idly, and that his foot will be saved.

The asually quiet neighborhood of eloc was disturbed on Thursday night by a happening which promises to re silt In a tragedy. Sam Nowlin struck Robert Player in the head with a piece >f lightwood, because Player would lk to a woman that Nowlin had for bidden him to talk to. Nowlin did not o much object to Player's attentions 'so long him did not put him hands on her, but when him did dat dere was ommotion right den."

A banquet will be.- served fter the initiation. Among the visi ra expected will be Grand Prelate erbert E. G~yles, Mayor of the city of iken, and District Deputy Grand danceor Bartow Walsh of Sumter The Sumter authorities are not dis posed to give Alex Williams up to the Supervisor of this county, and it may rause the matter to be taken before the Judge to determined which county is entitled to the prisoner. Williams scaped from tbe Clarendon gang, and later committed a crime in Sumter here he was captured after a thrill ing attempt to get away. It would seem to us Clarendon is entitled to the prisoner, as he is already to serve a sentence, whereas ho is only charged ith an offense In Suinter and must et. be tried. The Sumier authorities can well afford to let Williams serve bislarendon sentence, then take him Into their custody for trial. Died of diphtheria at Summerville. S.

Monday night an attempt was made to burgla rize the store of Mr. R. F. Epperson. but was frustrated by the timely work of a special watchman who fired a ouple of loads of shot in the burglar, but he got away. There has been re ently two suspic-ous looking white men in and around Rimini, and it is thought that one of these is the one who tried to get into the Epperson store at Pinewood. Mr. Epperson has been warned by a friend of som threats these strangers had made, and Mr. Walter Epperson went on watch for several nights. but Monday night he got Mr. Clyde Geddings to take his place, and about ildnightMr Geddings. saw a man trying to get into the store from the rear, not succeeding. he went to the front, and was trying to force the door from its hinges wi:h an axe, so Mr. Geddinirs fired and the man gave ayyell, and as he attempted to turi the corner of the store he fired again which brought forth another yell but the man ran faster and finally made good his escape. Mr. Gea dings is satiefed that both shots took effe'ct, one in his legs and the other in his back. The la.,t they heard from the would-be burglar was he had gone in the direction of Sumter, hut that his partner was at Rimini and had nothing to do with the attempt to break into Sardinla 5chool News.

Briggs and others against James X. aldwell and others was tried to prove the will of the late Mrs. E, M. Briggs in solemn form. and which case re ulted in a verdict of the jury declar ing against the validity of the will, as sent down his order refusing the motion for a new trial. It is presumed that this case involv ng so much will be appealed to the spreme court. There is mo:-e interest aken in this case than any that has een before the courts of this county n many years. A considerable amount f property is involved, and too, it has :een before the court, for some time and the public would like to know just how it will be finally determined. Tbe matter was first heard by the udge of Probate, who decided against he will, then it went to the court of xmmon pleas and on the question of aving it heard by a jury it went to he supreme court, which tribunal ecided the case should be heard by a ury to determine the questions of act. The first jury failed to agree. nd a mistrial was ordered, at the last erm a jury decided against the wtll. AT THE PEEP 0' DAY Robinson's Circus Train Will Arrive. Older people are inclined to laugh at he small boy who arises at 4 a. mn. on ircus day and hies to the railroad ards to see the show unload. But i f hey only knew it. Little JTohnnie has te best of the game. He is able to see many things that are really interest ng, even thrilling. Few people realize the wo'nderful system thbat enables a biig orgranization like Robinson's Famous Shows to be moved from one city to another, get ready and give two performances in o,.e day, and get out of town without friction or accident, leaving no' even r ent stake of the endless paraphernalia a~ a reminder of their visit. It is marvelous to watc~h the skillful nloading of the enormous wagons, :ens and tableaux without a hitch or moments delay, to see the big, hand some horses take tneir places like lockwork, to see the elephants push wagons in place, lift immense center poles and perform other duties where heir measureless strength comes into play. Glder people might follow Little ohnnie's example with profit,. Just try it onoe, on the morning of Monday November 10, when Robinson's Fa mous Snows will arrive by the A. C. L ralroad, and grive two performances in this city at 2.00 and 8:00 p. m. -Adv. ltews From Oak Dale. Thanks Mr. Editor for the announce ment of our hot supper in your last is sue. Owing to the inclement weather Friday night, and the attempt of Mr. Simeon Harrington to commit suicide by cho'pping himself with a hatchet, we did not make the preparat ions we Intended, and a-k all who attended and did not get a square meal to pardon our short coming. We expect to try it ovrln the near future and see that all get justice. We had one young man tr .m New Zion too mo'dest. to eat barben ~r with pepper on it, and one of our school marm's says he took her appetite so come asamn young man, Mtr. Reg DuBose of Sardinia was at his best and came their with his own and the appetite of an old friend, but Andrew Morris fetched one equal to John Epp..' Mr. Hugh McFaddin and Dow Good man were both on the job, and Mr. Linwood Gamble came wi'.h the excuse that he had driven eight mnile-s in the rain, and one of the Oakdale t-.acher s was a friend of a girl he had made love to once. Prof. Cecil Wilson of Sumter was very active around tbe fish pond, how much time an insurance man can lose, but to the spectator s it waa "S-range." Thanks to Miss Lessie Strange for her able assistance at the fish pond. Judging from the way Mr. Ed Play er and Mr. Garland of Sardinia hung around the Wingate candy Kitchen they are very fond of sweet things. Discipline is what niakes a school, and one of our teachers actually made a young fellow sit for two hours on a dunce stool Friday night and sat by him to convince him that she was not a special friend of any one.

Let every teacher in the coun ty begin now to arrange for this occa sion. I appeal to the trustees through out the county to see to it that your teacher has a way to get to these very important meetines. If they just will not. come, then find out the reason, and niake- a note of it for future use. The teacher who persistently s:ass away fron these meetings is not awake to his or her best interests. The teach er who makes it, part of his duty to at tend upou all educational meetings is the one to rise in the profession. Analyze yourself, and see where . cu stand. E. J. B Henry A.

WiNN What is a Baby Worth To Your CommunitV And The Race? Long ago, stat:sticians figured out the earning capacity of each wee citi zen until he came of age. The law bas tried to settle the question by awarding certain damages to parents. of children killed or injured in accidents. But only recently have scientists realized that the real value of a baby depends entirely upon the start it gets in life. A baby is worth to itself and the race much or little in propor ion to the working power of the body. founded on good physical proport'ons, muscular and mental development, and the regu lar operation of its various functions The better start it gets during the first three years of its life, the mote -alua ble to itself and the nation does the child become with advancing years. Started wronw, it is bandicapped through no fault of its own and may become a burden to society and the state. To prevent this catastropne, govern ment, national, state and municipal, is giving much time to the considertion of child welfare. By preventive and remedial measures, adopted while the child is still in its infancy, the small boy is developed to its full powers, ano the race as well as the individual child profits. The very latest and one of the most popular forms of child welfare work is the Better Babies contest which has taken root wherever think ing men and women are found. It is practical because it rouses parental pride, creates a desire to study child life, and helps humanity by teaching each parent to help himself The Better Babies Contest consists of a competitive examination of chil dren three years of age or under, by physicians, with prizes for the high scoring babies. The entries are made as in a stock show and measured by practically the same standards of phy sical perfection, with added tests for mental development. &f re beauty does not count, but the intrinsic value of the baby as a human machine, well proportioned, properly nourished and developed. does. Parents are given'prizes for healthy offspring, and also score cards showing the child's exact physical condition. This record can be kept from year to year and not only is the parental pride aroused and an interest in child-study created, but the child itself, seeing how its body and mind are respected by its pirents, soon learns to care for both and to study itself intelligently. What the report card is as a stimulent to the student, this score card is to the growing child as an impetus to right living. Many states have organized this work at their state fairs, including Oregon, Washington, Oklahoma, Neb raska, Iowa, Minnesota, Louisiana, Wyoming, Ohio, Montana, Illinois and Michigan. Hundreds of county and city fairs are introducing it not only as an attraction which is sure to increase gate receipts-for every one loves a baby, but as a means to arouse interest in child welfare in the community. The School Improvement Association of Clarendon county will hold its first contest at Manning on December 12th, when town and country babies will compete for prizes amounting to six teen dollars contributed by the fair officials, and bronze medals and cer tificates offered by -he Better Babies Bureau of the Wc . ome Com panion.

A newspaper correspondent is sometimes confronted with problems more or less intricate. To express it geoImetrically the one in mind at pres ent might be stated thus: Given a cir cus in Sumter, on Thursday, the 23rd, and a train on thbe Northwestern due to arrive there in time for the parade, to find how many people were in at tendance from Summerton. The an. swer is too lengthy to be attached herewith. The other problem present ed seems to require the use of algebra. if a lady boards the train at Summer on at 9:2,5 on a given morning intend ing to arrive at Sumter in time to buy a hat and return on the afternoon train, what time will the train reach Sum ter? The answer is represented by "X" or possibly "XXX" if we consid er the cau'se for the delay. Seldom do we chance upon the names of our immediate neighbors and friends when handling so far-away a paper as "The New Haven Herald;" and y et in a recent copy of this Connecticut pub lication we find among the lists of Hon r Roll students at Yaie for the year 914-14, the name of Mr. Julian Scar borough of this place, who throughout he year maintained an average which placed him on this distinguished list. We learn with regret that the fam ily of Mr. J. Ashby Richbourg will leave shortly to make their home in Asheville, N. C., but we wish Mr. Richbourg much success in his new feld of labor. He will act as General Agent for Ford automobiles, covering several states, with headquarters at Asheville. Summerton, S. C., Oct, 27. Chronic Dyspepsia.
