Bennel To Gove Clerk Of Court Given Ai Virtue Of His Appoin Licensing * Sam T. Bennett, clerk of Superior court for Brunswick county, has been named Explosives Licensing Agent for this county, a job designed to control the sale, storage and detonation of explosives. This is another war-time measure that is being taken in the interest of public safety. For all practical purposes what it means is that the appointment of a licensing agent will place one man in the county in position to know the amount and location of explosives of all kinds, and it will place him in position to ful nil anouier or nis auues, viz, rne investigation of all explosions occuring within his sphere about which he had not been previously informed. From him it is necessary to procure all licenses "for control of explosives and their ingredients in time of war or national emergency; any chemical compound or mechanical mixture that contains any oxidizing and combustible units, or other ingredients, in such proportions, quantities or packing that ignition by Patrolman Tall Safety, School Boys Are Being Bxamined According to information from Miss Annie May Woodside, county superintendent of of schools, arrangements are being made to have the junior and senior boys of the schools of this county given a physicial examination within the next few weeks.

During the past two weeks one of the girls, Miss Evelyn Autry, has been serving as deputy clerk, in order mat. papers may do signed and various work performed during any enforced absence of Mr. Bennett from the office. During terms of Superior court and sessions of the Recorder's court, the clerk has to be in atendancc and it is necessary to have either an assistant or a deputy clerk in the office.
