Of Chairman M. P. Howell, who had
recently had an operation for ton

Judge James E. Peurtfoy made the
principal address and gave pome
wholesome advice to the parents /and

The. following are the members
of the faculty: x -
Supt. R. J. Underwood, Miss Ripy

Prof. J. H. Hayden was to have
taught agriculture in the school but
*it was found 1 that satisfactory ar-
rangemoots could not be made for
placing this subject, and it was
dropped.
• T|ie world was startled and th.‘
Allies much gratified by tlrt} news
that Bulgaria had decided to quit
the fighting and accept the terms of
the Allies. This was thewesult of
a \er\ successful and forceful, drive*
by the British Army under General
Allenby. and Bulgaria rather than
hare Her country overriden and her
armies cut to pieces, decided to
sever her connections with the Ger
man war alliance. This was done,
r.nd now the news reaches this coun
try that Turkey Is likely to follow
the example of Bulgaria, and pos
sibly Austria will follow.
The war condition looks most
optimistic, and the ghances are that
further victories Ih the Western
front may bring some decisive re
sult beforV it la expected.
v General Foch is directing a most
successful campaign J against the
German forcee on the Western front.
The United States troops are cover
ing themselves with glory, and In
the present drive troops from this
State are engaged. The Charleston
troops. In which are many Colleton
boys, are now In the thickest of the
fighting. 9 *1 i4.fB
