11 GENERAL NEW Irish Potato Crop. Charleston, S. C., May 15.?The r~:-l~ "i-nn r?f Charleston coun lnsa uuLabv ? i ty promises to be almost as big a bananza to the truckers as the cabbage crop. Operators from all parts : of the east have been in Charleston trying to negotiate for the yield at < $6 to $6.50 per barrel, but the plant- i ers absolutely refuse their offer, which appears at first glance to be a handsome one. The cabbage crop, the movement of which will be over by May 25, , while not as large as usual on ac- . count of unfavorable weather at the j start, has been most profitable. The , Charleston county truckers are well , ! ' Thov have been setting $5 picaocu. auvj ~ - w _ . | per crate f. o. b., which is an almost ( unheard.of price . One trucker, on ' less than ten acres, has alreadycleared nearly $5,000 above all ex- . penses. , N. G. In South Carolina. , Columbia, S.

The preliminary examination of seven members of the panel by counsel for the plaintiff marked today's hearing in the $1,000,000 libel suit of suit of Henry Ford against the Chicago Tribune. Mr. Ford's complaint is that on June 23, 1916, the Chicago Daily Tribune in an editorial injured him in his good name, credit and reputation, brought him into public hatred, criticism and ridicule and injured him in his feelings, business and other wise. The Tribune, he alleges did this bycalling him "an anarchist," "an ignorant idealist," and "anarchist enemy of the nation," and as being "so incapable of thought that he can not see the ignominy of his own performance." Alfred J; Murphy of counsel for Mr. Ford, began the examination. He explained to the panel that the Tribune editorial was written at the time the national guard was being recruited and sent to the Mexican border and that two days prior to the alleged libelous editorial the Tribune carried a dispatch from Detroit stating that Mr., Ford would not hold open the positions of any of his men who quit for military service, nor would he pay their salaries, as some other employers were said to be doing, nor care for their dependents. This he said, was untrue, but nevertheless served as the basis for the subsequent editorial. The suit, he :oncniaea, was tne result. Italy Not Included. Paris, Sunday May 11.?Much :omment has arisen over the fact ;hat Italy is not included in the proposed engagement between the United States, Great Britain and France for mutual action against Germany should Germany again become aggressive toward France. It is said :hat Premier Orlando was ready to jring Italy into the agreement and ;hat he took part in some of the eary discussions, although the plans ;vere consummated about the time of the high tension which removed Premier Orlando from active participation in the council of four. Because of Italy's membership in the former triple alliance it is held in some French quarters, it was a serious omission not to include Italy in the new Franco-American-British engagement.. Socialists Protest. Berlin, Sunday, May 11.?Although the Independent Socialists at the outset of the discussion over the peace treaty adopted the standpoint that peace must be signed at all costs, the tremendous pressure of public expression, violent in its protest aainstg the treaty's terms, has led them to reconsider their view, many of them joining the multitude that i? protesting against the signing. In the name of the Independent Socialist party, Richard Weller told the workmen's councils of Greater Berlin that such "a dictated peace of cruel severity" as the entente desires to impose upon Germany could not insure a lastinc Deace. Therefore hp demanded the assembling of a congress of the councils to determine their attitude toward the question and to appeal to the entente proletariat to work against the peace "proposed by entente world imperialism as embodied in the treaty." Herr Mueler, another of the Independent leaders, seizes the occasion again to assail the old imperial istic regime in Germany, which he declares incurred blood guilt by the invasion of France and Belgium and the destruction of mines and industries. Arguing against the prevalent protests, Karl Kautsky, writing in the Independent organ, Die Freiheit, says: "Shall we sign the peace if it is not too modified, or have we not any other chance? If it were a peace of. foa destruction, a death sentence, as it is (tat( called, agreement to it would be sui- spe cide. But hard as the conditions are,j ,Kor ithey do not lead to the downfall i mU] | the German people, even though' pry ithey will make life terribly difficult.|on , A genuine downfall, a rapid physical^ downfall would come, however, if we1 wjj. declined to sign the peace, and re-jpry verted to a state of war, after a few: ? _ | nei j weeks of fruitless opposition costing.^ millions and lives we should be fore-} anc] ! ed to capitulate." : 011+ i tart SUMMER EXCURSION Ln(] FARES, SEASON 1919 tle' ji b< l ? i The Seaboard Air Line Railroad,'"1" : Per I as well as other lines in this terntory, announces Summer Excursion "0 ble i fare tickets will be on sale daily i May 15th to September 30th, 1919. sa^ I tern These tickets allow stopovers in ei-, 1 tai i ther or both directions, at will on api plication to conductors. ! ! git i PIEDMONT SUMMER SCHOOL.
