EM.AKGO 0> FOODSTUFFS TO FIGHT ENGLISH Also to Assist Our Own People?-Understood J bat President Wilson and Cabinet Are Opposed to Embargo ProposaL Washington. Nov. 22.?Representative Fitzgera.'l, Democrat, chairman di tin; house appropriation committee, announce.'! today that lie favored an: enl:-:igo on foodstuffs and that.it was' his { urnose to prepare a bill and to! press the subject early in the coming j session of congress. "Two reasons chiefly impel me to; favor embargo legislation on foovi-! I stuffs," said Mr. Fitzgerald. "It is' j the most effective weapon in our eon-. traversy with Great Britain over her unwarranted, outrageous and indefensible blacklist of American merchants.; As our foodstuffs are needed abroad, an embargo will be more effective than weary months of diplomatic negotiations which end in the continuance of ; the indefensible practices against our rights. "The embargo also should be imposed for purely domestic reasons.' nnVps nf foodstuffs have reached) 1 liv w levels that are bringing "widespread' distress to the country. Many hun-j dreds of thousands of our people are! suffering from the lack of the neces- i sities of life. Wholesale prices in i many commodities are less abroad f than they were a year ago; here the! retail prices have advanced alarm-! ingly. ' | 1 *4 ! "The argument that notmng suoum i be done to interfere with/ the expan-j sion of our foreign trade aoes not impress me. Of what profit it is if our| foreign trade is to grow with leaps and bounds whil oure own people are brought tjb the verge of starvation as a result of it. "The time is ripe for tiie embargo and I hope to see legislation speedily enacted to impose it. Let America ^5?.i. ?> |' be for Americans iu&l. , It seems to be generally agreed here! that the coming session of congress! will see a fight ovvr the embargo proposal, which is backed by monster petitions signed by thousands of persons and organizations.

Dillon, Nov. 21.?Hugh Harrelsoa, a prominent planter of this county, was j killed late this evening whTfe serving i a number of negroes at his commls-j sary. Mrs. Harrelson, wno was mi tlie home at the time of the killing; was severely beaten by a negro who was sent to the house to prevent her from giving the alarm. She will reco/er. A considerable number of Dii-.' Ion people, as well as some from.otherj sections oi' the county, have gone to: the SLcne. If the pursuers capture any j ~ ?? ~<nro;?o*rivhAm fhprp seem3 to! Hi ClJjClI iADV" IT UV/**? ?? v ( ^ be proof a lynching is feared. Yesterday Mr Harrison had trouble i wLli a drunken negro, who stood iai the road as JVIr. Harrelson was returning from Dillon and dared him to pass. Mr. Harrelson threatened him with the law. Today; however, the negro came to Mr. Harrelson and apologized, the matter apparently being cleared up. Late this evening while Mr. Harrelson was waiting on several negroes who had come to his commissary near Pleasant Hill church, seven miles - .1 from Dillon, he was attached ana. beaten to death with some blunt Instrument. The motive was apparntly robbery. The slayers went througa his clothes and took ail the money he had with him. Mrs. Herrelson explained that her husband was known to carry from $30 to $40 in his pocket all the time, and it was probabb l'or this that the negroes killed him. Mrs. Harrelson, who was in the house alone, was beset by a n?gro, whom she recognized.; Hfe^V mission evidently wsu} to present lier from giving an alarm. He struck her over the head with a club and she fled, taking refug^ under a table. Shortly afterwards the negro left, and she then crept out and rang the farm ball, thus summoning the neighbors. She did not know of her husbands death until later. They organized for pursuit and secured bloodhounds for the cfcaee. Thus far none of the negroes have been captured. Mr. Harrelson, who was about 60 years of age, was a highly respected and well known planter. <Ai brother, B. A. Harrelson. lives in Dillon. "The Hidden Scar.** No one ever passes through life scarless, and usually when the twilight of life dawns upon us we look j upon our scars as meaais, wvu m; the battle of life. Sometimes as we journey on, conditions for which we are not always responsible, mark us, so to speak, wilh scars that we would hide from our friends. Some call it Fate, others call thp hie. broadshoulct IO fCJlUl J , , ered man or the level-headed little woman, call it Imagination. Again, there are a few who look upon these scars with, a feeling of horror. These few may be in the minority, hut the power of their opinions often makes a mountain of a mole-hill. There Is a scorching path in life, and thers . are many who travel it in search of j happiness. As a result there comes j I a time when they seek to hide the! ear. All things considered, "The Hidden Scar" is one of the most interesting pictures produced In a Ions time. It has "that touch of nature that makes the whole world ki*.
