BRYAN'S PEACE PLAN.
Eight Nations Give Favorable Consideration
to Secretary's Proposals.
Washington, May 30.?Secretary '
Bryan signalized Memorial day by an- 1
nouncing that eight nations had re
sponded favorably to his peace plan, 1
asking that suggestions be submitted 1
in regard to details. ]
The nations in the order in which !
they have accepted are: Italy, Oeat ]
Britain, France, Brazil, Sweden, .Norway,
Peru and Russia.
Secretary Bryan said that no na- '
tion to whom his peace plan was sufc- ]
mitted had replied adversely, but
some had asked more time for con- '
* sideration. To each of the govern
ments expressing a willingness to enter
into the agreement, a tentative statement
has been suggested by the
president. The secretary pointed out ,
that this statement was submitted for
consideration, with no intention of in
sistence upon any particular detail,
- ' ' n-li- '
and declined to maKe puunc us tuu- | <

Mr. Bryan discussed the progress 1
of his plan, in the following state- ,
ment:
The Peace Plan.
"It will be remembered that about j
a month ago a plan was, by the pres- 1
ident's direction, submitted to all the ']
Vorinor -ronrpspritatives 1
government? 11 a.?iiifc, ^ ~
here, the plan being in substance as <
follows: i
"First, that the United States is pre- 1
pared to enter into an agreement with j
each and every country severally pro- (
viding for the investigation of all dis- 1
putes of every character and nature,
by an international commission, the <
contracting parties agreeing not to <
declare war or begin hostilities until
such investigation is made and report <
submitted. ]
Second, the investigation to be con- '
ducted as a matter of course, upon
the initiative of the commission, with- ]
n?t the formalitv of a request from
II
"Third, the report to be submitted
within a given time, the time to be
agreed upon. ^
Fourth, the parties to reserve the
right to act independently on the sub- (
ject matter in dispute, after the report
is submitted.
"The composition of the commission
was a matter of detail to be
agreed upon by the contracting parties;
the time, also, in which the re nnrt
should be submitted was a mat
*" . I
ter of detail to be agreed upon by the
contracting parties.
Eight Favor It,
"Eight :ia!inup have np to the j
time responded favorably, some in- J
dorsing the principle in' ?'lc:ig that ,
suggestions be submitted in regard to
the details, others replying that the
proposition is received sympathetically
and expressing a willingness to consider
details.
"The nations; in the order in which
they have accepted, are: Italy. Great
T? ~il W>T._ i
?5mam, r ranee, Dra^n, ow^ucu, .wiway,
Peru and Russia.
"To th?se expressing a willingness
to confer in regard to the details, a
tentative statement has been submitted,
embodying details suggested by
the president. This statement is being
submittedL for consideration, however,
with no indention of insisting
on any particular detail. The exact
phraseology of the agreements may
not be the same in all cases. If the
principle is indorsed, the government
is billing to confer with open mind,
as to minor points."
Speaking of the reception his plan !
has received, Mr. Bryan observed that j
within The past two montns tnree ar- j
bitration treaties have been renewed
for a period of five years. The j
treaties renewed are with France, It-!
aly and Spain, and President Wilson
has announced his willingness to renew
similar conventions with Great
Britain, aJpan, Norway, Sweden and
Portugal.
Blackwelder in Lexington Conrt.
Lexington, May 25.?At a meetino
r\f the TPYino'trm "Rar association
yesterday it was decided to hold one !
week of general s-essions court and
one week of common please. It was
also agreed, it is said, that only two
bail cases will be tried during the criminal
court. The first will be the case
of the State against J. A. Blacwelder,
of Newberry, who is charged with violating
the State banking law while
president of the Bank of Chapin. The
;ase of Blackwelder has been continued
for many sessions.
This will be one of the most important
cases in the annals of the
State, it being the first case of the
kind to be heard. It is claimed that
D)ool-tL'ol^r lr?nnpri funds to him
Jli. Uiav/U ?i vauv* > w ?
self and to corporations, of which he
was directly interested far in excess
of what the law allows. The Bank
of Chapin is said to have lost upwards
of $4,000 by the alleged acts of its
president?Mr. Blackwelder.
Another dewberry Teacher.
Prof. Hope has been assisted by an I"
able corps of teachers who not only
have established an enviable reputation
as teachers, but have taken an
active part in church work and everything
pertaining to good. This being
their first year among us though thc>y
have during their stay endeared themselves
to the people generally, and i"
is earnestly hoped and believed they
will be re-elected for another term.?

sermon by the Rev. J. P. Winningham
m ' The Ten Cents Dude and the Five

what a pair, what a failure,
what a huge joke of the ages. "Who j
would be a ten cents dude walking :
with a five cents butterfly. If there is
such a couple in Newberry and you
should happen to see it go by as you j
sir at your wmaow or un iue yuiuu i
wonder to yourself whether the five

to walk with the ten cents dude or the;

both ought to feel ashamed. Fifteen j
cents for the pair. See those hose and

by fire this morning at 7 o'clock. Go- i
ing into the garage, the doors cf which '
had stood open all night, he struck a j
match to light his pipe, when there!
was a sudden flash and flame that j
'filled the house and set it on fire. Evidently
there had been a leak in the
gasoline tank and the air and vapor
had mixed in the rigbt proportions for '
an explosion. With the assistance cf

away because of the intense heat
of the burning building, and the car
caught fire and all the wood work was
burned. How much damage was done
to the frame work, engine and other |

appearance of a ruined car. There is i
no insurance. The car cost something I
like $1,200 and had been used only j
a few weeks.
MEMORIAL DAY AT GETTYSBURG.
Hefliii, of Alabama, Delivers Principle
Oration.
Gettsburg, Pa., May 30.?Ten thou- |
sand people gath-ered at Gettsburg to- |
day for the anr ual Memorial day ob- |
servance. This afternoon a parade of |

j preceded ceremonies in the soldiers j
1 National Cemtery. The exercises at the j
I rostrum included the reading of Lin- (
: coin's Gettysburg address and the.
' oration by Congressman J. T. Heflin, j
| of Alabama.
| Standing on historic Gettysburg battlefield
and bringing "a messag-e of a
reunited country, Representative
Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, today j
i J
paid eloquent tribute to the heroism of
the men who wor* the Blue and the
Gray. His was the first address ever
delivered by a Southerner at Gettys
burg Memorial day exercises.
A Test of Durability.
"Our colonial fathers from North,
Sour.h and East and West," Mr. Heflin
said, "fought together when they
brought this Republic into being, defended
it together in the war of 1812,
and triumphed together when they carried
the Stars and Stripes into the heritage
of the Montezumas. The final and
crucial test of the republic's strength
and durability was the combat on the
field of battle in the War Between the
States."
He added that the questi^i of the
right of the State to se^de and the '
right of the Union to prevent it, the
status of rights and relations lir) between
State and federal government,
"could not be determined in the councils
of peace; it had to be settled by ;
the arbitrament of the sword."
Harmonious Household.
"The republic once abounding with ;
conflicting oDinions as to State and fed- j
eral rights and powers," he continued, |
"is today the harmonious household !
of sovereign States, the home of a |
brave and happy people. Here we bow !
with solemn reverence in honor of our j
nation's dead and pay to their blessed \
memory the tribute of our united j
love.
"Heroism never bad truer represen-!
tatives than those who made this battlefield
immortal. Here the soldier in '
blue and the soldier in grey read in j
parh nthpr's pvpc f-onrae'P horn of con- I
victions, devotion to principle, a will- j
ingness to do and die for what they |
believed was right. Here Union and j
Confederate soldiers by their daring !
sacrifice and heroism challenged the
admiration of the world. Here Northern
valor drew up in battle line the
bravest of her brave, the noblest
specimens of her patriotic manhood
and Southern chivalry marshalled the
noblest types of her splendid citizenship.
Two Mighty Lessons.
"Here the brave Union soldier
/->V>tVio mn nf tV>o hitViorfn iT
L \s <LliC4>l VU V x bUV JUiWM v* w ** j
resistible Confederate soldier. Here in \
the red glare of destructive battle fire
tv;o mighty lessons were taught; one,
that the Union should be ever mindful
and considerate of the rights of the
States. So the soldiers of the two
armies who baptized this soil with
their bjood did not die in vain; they
started the work of cementing the;
bonds of an everlasting Uni?n.
"I bring to you a message 01 gooa j
will and fellowship from the people of'
:he South. As an evidence of our rec- j
ognition and appreciation of the valor |
and heroism of both Union and Con- j
federate soldiers, and as a token of :
the spirit o? fraternal love now per-!
meating the hearts of our people, I j
bring you floral offerings from the j
flower gardens of Dixie, one for the |
grave of the soldier, in blue the other J
for the grave of the soldier in grey.
The sublime valor of the heroes of
both armies is the priceless heritage j
of an." ,
Of the reunion in July of survivors
of the two armies at Gettysburg, Mr.
Heflin said: "What a glorious reunion
that will be.. The angels will smile upon
that gathering, and the God of our
fathers will bless and approve it."
"Let the living join hands and hearts
about a common centre for the good of
the republic," he concluded. "Let
North, South, East and West all work
together for the good of all. Here on
tbis battlefield, incarnadined with the
blood of patriots North and patriots ,
South let us, in the language of Lin
coin, resolve that this government
shall not perish from the earth."
Called it a Bargain.
Exchange.
Little Nora, aged five, upon being
shown her twin brothers that had arrived
the night before, said:
"Well, I never saw such a woman
as mamma is for hunting up bargains."
