TRIES TO CREMATE .
HERSELF AND GIRLS
Savannah, March 22.—Mrs. Scott
Cameron attempted to end her own
life and those of her two young daugh
ters by setting fire to the floor and
furnishings of the room in which she
had locked herself and them in their
home on the Buckhalter road, six
miles from Savannah, at noon yes
terday.
Servants she had ordered from the
l.ouse, before barring the door, went
to the Dale tower, a half-mile away
and sent word to Mr. Cameron, who
was at work at the Southover Junc
tion shops of the Atlantic Coast Line.
A switch engine was quickly put in
service and in it he hurried to a point
on the tracks a half mile from the
home. When he reached the house
smoke was pouring through openings
in the windows. The older of the two
girls, Consuelo, aged 9, had managed
to escape through a window with her
younger sister, Margaret, 7 years old.
ROUMANIA IS THINKINK OF
JOINING THE ALLIES SOON
Athens, March 20.—The impression
prevails in high political circles at
Athens that Roumania shortly will
abandon her policy of neutrality in
favor of the allies.
Should Roumania enter the war
Greek officials would be placed in
an embarassing condition, the force
of which is already felt. Military
representatives of the allies do not
disguise the fact that at present they
have no need for Greece and do not
desire to assume responsibility for
maintenance and equipment of the
Greek army unless they are assured
definitely of co-operation in the event
of an allied offensive in Macedonia.
The course of the fighting at Ver
dun has produced a marked impres
sion on even the most determined
non-interventionists, and the royalist
press is changing its tone in regard
to the participation of Greece in the
war. The feeling of allied diplo
matests seems 1o be that it Greece de
gires to enter the war now she will
have to do so on her own initiative
and with no condition with respect to
territorial compensation.

As we have not seen any news from

a few items, as we like to have our
community represented in your pa

We are very busy in our school work

soon close and we have to study hard
to meet examinations, which will be
held next week.
The death of Mr. E. S. Roberts, Sr.,
was a great shock to the community.
He was necarly 64 years of age, and
had been living in this community for
several years. He was a great church
worked, and did all that he could to
build up his community.
The farmers of this section are very |
busy preparing their ground for plant- :
ing, as they know that spring is near
and they want to be among the first in
planting their seeds.
The latley Literary and Debating
society is working very hard for their
public debate, which will be held on
for discussion is, “Resolved that trav
eling better qualifies a man for his
daily duties than study does.”
The speakers are as follows, for
the affirmative side: Ed Patterson,
Jack Carden and Waymon Hollins
worth. Speakers for the negative are
Tom Matehws, Charlie Bartlett and
I(:r;mt Roberts.
In connection with the debate there
will be several dialogues. An invita
