Nashville's play during the week gave the Volunteers no additional Steps toward the top of the ladder. The teams broke even in a series of four games. With a five game schedule Memphis lost four, taking one of the series from Birminghaih. Inability to. hit Birm ingham and Atlanta pitchers seemed to be the weakness of Manager Doh lin's charges. . The Little Rock Travelers won two of the eries with Mobile during th first part of the week, the only vic tories they tallied. In the Barons camp Thursday and yesterday Birm ingham scored on them heavily in each of the games. Mobile seemed to make little progress during the week, win ning only one out of the series wita the Lookouts which gave the Gul:a their only victory of the week's play.

The German lines melted away, the gray fighters scurried back and the British swept over their ob jective. This was one advance which the British made today. Another was "south of the Scarpe. There the Scot tish and English Tommies advanced between Conettl and Bulle Court early. this morning. They were successful in gaining ground. Further down along the German Hindenburg support line, the Anzac troops pushed along toward the sunk en road to the northeast of Buire Court.

The featuras of the week reveal what the industrial schools for negroes are doing, and the leader of this agricultural drive in this county and throughout the State is a grad uate of the North Carolina Agricultu ral and Technical Colleg? for Negroes at Greensboro. Prof. John D. Wray has received a NatioM-wide reputa tion as a corn export and is State agent for negro boys and girls' farm clubs. He is a splendid example of the wholesome work being done at the A. & T. college. ProL Wray is ably assisted in Co lumbus county by ' Capt. L. E. Hall, a graduate of Hampton Normal and Industrial school, ... and one of the best negro farm demonstration agents in the country. He is doing a re markable work in Columbus county and has the united support of the bat ter element of both races. The finals of the commencement events of the Columbus County Lit erary. Normal and Industrial School last Tuesday strongly emphasized the food crisis by featuring on its pro gram some of the leading negro agri culturists of this section and the State. This institution for negroes is located about seven miles from White ville and that distance from any rail road. It is regarded as one of tEe best institutions of its kind for ne groes in the State that is located in the rural districts. inis gi-uwm largely due to Dr. Clarence Dillard, Jr., the principal and a physician, who has been assisted by capt. wan and other prominent negroes oi nit country..

The burden of his mes sage was that education fitted a per son for work and not to mould a sen timent against work. He strikingly stressed the need for better rural schools that would do the same kind of desirable work that the school in doing. A good and helpful demonstration was given by Capt.
