forth their views upon the public
questions, varying but little from
former speeches made in the cam

improved in the effectiveness with
which they present their claims to

Chautauqua at Johnston.
Commencing Friday night, August
25, a summer Chautauqua will he
held at Johnston for five nights, ex
cluding Sunday hight. The exercises
will be held under a big tent and a
splendid miscellaneous program has
been arranged for each night. Friday
night the program will consist of a
grand opening concert and a lecture
on "Immortality of Influence," will
be delivered by Mr. George L. Bar
ker, and each night thereafter an at
tractive program will be given. In
addition to the lectures and musical
features, several popular comedies
will be given by talented actors and
actresses. The fourth night the play
"It Pays to Advertise" will be given.
All proceeds from the chautauqua
above actual expenses will go to the
Johnston school. The Johnston Chau
tauqua deserves to succeed.
Commencing Friday night of this
week and lasting for five nights,
Sunday night excepted, a chatauqua
will be held at Johnston and the net
proceeds will go to the Johnston
school. We trust that it will be a
great success financially and from
every other standpoint.
The people of Johnston are to be
commended for putting on the sum
mer Chautauqua, which will begin
Friday night of this week. The in
fluence of such entertainment is al
ways wholesome and helpful tb a
community. Even if they only break
even financially, it will have paid the
people of Johnston to hold the Cha
tauqua.
Be sure to attend one night of the
Chautauqua at Johnston if no more.
You will find the lectures inspiring
and the other features of the pro
gram altogether pleasing.
Mrs. Claude Johnson of Johnston
is spending this week in Edgefield
with her sister, Mrs. W. D. Holmes.
The London Failure.
The allied conference at London,
called n afinal effort to settle the
question of German reparation, end
ed in a flat failure, as nearly every
body expected it would. And if any
more conferences are called, they
will end doubtless in failure just as
complete-unless the conferees are
willing, on both sides, to face facts.
Those facts are plain enough to all
the world outside of France. Surely
they must be plain, too, to French
statesmen, when those statesmen al
low themselves, for an occasional
moment, to lapt;e from war bitter
ness and the exigencies of French,
politics.
Germany ought to pay all that has.
been assessed against her. The moral
obligation is there, and Germany
considered as a business institution,
with great assets and productive
power, might be supposed able to
make enough profit to meet the al
lies deserve all that they can collect
from Germany.
But there's the. rub-they can col
lect very little by any means tried
yet, or by any other conceivable
means. For the allies want money,
and money is the one thing that Ger?
many does not possess and apparent
ly cannot obtain.
Germany is cleaned out of cash.
She is no longer able, to obtain any
cash worth speaking of by selling
paper marks for gold. The allies will
not take paper. She could pay them
in goods, but they do not want
goods. That is all there is to it.
