TWICE A WEEK, $2.0C A YEAR ? ?IMI Mil?IMIB I .'RUSSIAN FAMINE UNDER CONTROL STATEMENT BY GOODRICH OF INDIANA Former Governor Tells President and Secretary Hoover of Investigation Washington, April 20.?The American relief administration now has Russian famine under control in all the accessible districts, former Gover-. nor Goodrich of Indiana declared to-. day after conferring with President. Harding and Secretary Hoover upon his recent investigation of conditions in Russia. Mortality among children has been reduced to normal, he reported, and deaths from acute starvation among adults are rapidly diminishing, while the morale of the people in the fam1 * 1 *-i? 7?? ~~AvfvQv/llno. me districts nas snuwu an c.vuaivnua ry change for the better. Control of the Russian famine until the next harvest, Governor Goodrich asserted, was purely a question of railway transportation, the ''degenerated administration and equipment fo the railways" giving no certainty as to the conctinued movement 1 of supplies. He declared there were enough supplies on the way to Russia or stored in ports to control the situation until harvest if they could ibe delivered to the famine regions, but added that congestion at junction * A ?- * points, where as many as- ou trams have been stalled for weeks, threatened the continued movements from the ports. The former governor said there was every indication that the seed provided by the American relief administration would be sufficient to provide for the next harvest. He spoke in glowing terms of the work of the American staff in the. famine districts and declared the members tonri nriranized thousands of commit tees in the various community to a high point of efficiency. "The gratitude of the Russian people towards America ij unbounded/' Mr/ Coodrih said. word 'Ar<.? ' initials of the American relief administration, which is the protective sign on the whole distributive raaL chinery from cars to warehouses "and kitchens, has been embraced as a word in the Russian language expressing the generous action of Am- . erica. 4'Xo doubt, poverty will continue in Russia, mnrp narticularlv in the cities and larger towns, for a longtime to come, but this great disaster of famine from drought will have been overcome after the new harvest in August. Except for the amelioration of inherent poverty from economic demoralization the work of the Americans will have been accomplished." NEWBERRY AND CAROLINA PLAY TO TIE i i Gamecocks and Indians Play Twelve Innings? Score Seven to Seven I Newberry and Carolina battled to a 12 inning draw at Newberry Thursday afternoon, it being necessary to call the* game on account of darkness. Luther pitched a great game, allowing the Gamecocks only five scattered hits but he received erratic support. Two of the hits off his delivery were home runs by Snipes and Balk. Peters for the visitors was wild and was hit hard, he being driven from the mound in the sixth. Wallace, who relieved him, pitched better ball but he was wild also. Luther d:d not walk a man. It seems that each team tried to see which could put up the most erratic exhibition in the field, al-( though during: the last several innings the fieldirg of both nines was clean and snappy, not a run being- scored after the seventh. D. Shealy and Gilliam played senrational ball in the field for Newberry anu their work was about the only br _ht feature of the game. Gressette of the visitors j made a spectacular catch in the centerfield. | Carolina ..Oil 000 410 000?7 5 8j Newberry 001 032 100 000?7 7 9; Peters, Wallace and Holland; Lu-j ther and Robinson.

Frank Lever is to be head of ' the new joint land bank in Columbia has revived talk throughout the state 1 as to who will be the next governor. i Mr. Lever had been considered by many as a possible candidate for the governorship, but his definite announcement of other plans is thought by many to leave the way open for announcement by some other good man. It is said that several good men in the state are in a receptive mood, and will probably put their hats in the ring, now that the atmosphere, has cleared up, so far as Mr. Lever's position is concerned. It is expected that the next few weeks will brinir develooments in the political situation. To many the recent discussion of the possibility of Hon. John Gary Evans, of Spartanburg:, as candidate xor governor, is taken to mean that he will be in the race. Mr. Evans has been in Columbia several times lately and during- the recent legislative session he was seen several times on the floors of the assembly. This is taken as a pretty good sign that a political bee is buzzing in his bonnet. Numerous names are mentioned in connection, with the race for governor including those of Mr. Evans, Hen ry Tillman of Greenwood; Co1. J. Mon Johnson of Marion; Dr. D. W. Daniels of Clemson college. Col. Holmes Springs of Greenville; Dr. 01in Sawyer of Georgetown; D. R. Coker of-Hartsville; Dr. Geoige B. Cromer of Newberry; Senator Proctor Bonhain of Greenville; K. M. Cooper Jr., of Waysacki; Christie Benet of Columbia; and State Superintendent of Education John E Swearingen of Columbia. Former Governor El ease and A. J. Bethea have announced themselves. It is said that the anti-Blease forces will have a candidate in the race, one who has not yet announced himself. Who this man will be is not known, but with the time approaching for the meetings of the Demo cratic cmos, wnicn means me setnng-1 up of the election machinery, there are expected to be announcements soon. ' THE JNO. M. KINARD CAMP SONS CONFEDERATE VETERANS The Jno. M. Kinard camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, held its regular annual meeting on last Wednesday. Charles A. Bowman was elected commander and Mr. L. A. Boozer adjutant. Commander Bowman was authorized to appoint three delegates to the state reunion at Darlington and three to the general reunion at Richmond. Messrs. J. B. Hunter, I. H. Hunt and J. X. McCaughrin were appointed a committee to provide for quarterly meetings at homes of members, and a program, on the adoption of a resolution to that effect. If any Confederate veteran is unable financially to go to Richmond his expenses will be defrayed, if he will let it be known. This action is highly commendable and shows a true spirit of brotherly love. Notice Memorial exercises and the dinner which is given annually to the veterans and their wives by the Sons of Veterans and the Daugnters. of the Confederacy will be held this year on May 3rd, instead of May 10th, as is customary, to avoid conflicting: with chautauqua.

After Lloyd Geige had made ! * i his statement, the Germans announc-; ed that they were still considering their reply to the note of the big and, little entente, denying them admis-1 sion to the conference unless the Rus- ' so-German treaty was rescinded or at j least amended and approved by the : conference. The Germans are said to I be divided in their relations. This is; the reason for their delay in coming' to e decision for submission to the allies. The Russians also have with-' held official publication of their reply to the London experts' report which j had been promised for today. In short the day closed with no def inite advance over the position of the 1 previous day but with a general feeling that the Germans will take an ! attitude which will make the situation ' easier and pave the .vay for a confer-; ence agreement on the Russian pvob- J lem. One of the Italian delegates *aid i the German answer was expec ted Frl-1 day motning, at which time Signer ; Schanzer the Italian foreign minister, : would convene a meeting of the al-: lies together with Rumania, Poland, 1 Switzerland and Sweden for an ex-J change of ideas on the Russian reply,1 which may have been delivered by j them. According to the French spokes- j man, tonight the delegates of one of j the allied powers, not France, after! the announcement of the Russo-Ger-: man treaty had prepared a resolution I ? i calling for adjournment oi tne con ference. The delegation brought the J resolution to the meeting which drew ' up the protest to German, but being j satisfied with the text of the protest; decided not to present the resolution. ; This spokesman added that the' Frennch were not so optimistic as Mr. Lloyd George; certainly France was j not willing to pay a price without limit merely to bring a^out a successful conference. As indicative of the con- j fusion here, he explained that the. French information tonight was that the Germans might decide to go back! to Berlin, with the understanding that j they should return to Genoa when ' their participation in the deliberations ' was required. | Buenos Aires, April 20 (By the As-, sociated Press).?The Russo-German treaty originally was intended to be kept secret, La Nacion's Rome cor-! respondent in a dispatch to his paper today says he has learned from trust worthy sources.

We can have both provided we show the board of trustees that the whole town is behind the proposition. Have you ever stopped to consider what a college is worth to a town in the way of affording amusement in the form of athletic sports? Suppose Newberry college were located in another town what would Newberry do for amusements along this line? The chambers of commerce of Greenwood and of Anderson are constantly sending out invitations to colleges to stage athletic contests in these cities In Newberry the college sees to it that these contests are provided for us, and the contests have always been of the best*'clean and of "the highest type.

Cushman, extension dairy husbandman from Clemson college was in Prosperity today conferring with County Agent T. M. Mills on dairy work for Newberry county, and made the following statement regarding the Prosperity Guernsey Bull association recently formed: "The Prospedity Guernsey Bull association in Newberry county holds much hope for that section as a dairy development unit. Besides the distinct progressive step toward breeding of better dairy stock or more refined type and productive capacity it serves as a distinct community unit through which much constructive development work may be I carried out. This implies that proper feeding of a balanced mixture of home grown feeds, care and feeding of young growing- stock, planning of new and reconstruction of old farm buildings suitable to dairying and __j ? proper care anu niuncigeiiidii> ui uau^ products to the end that they might be marketed to the best advantage and for the best price. Any community well adapted to dairying and which becomes strongly founded on a dairying basis through the sale of sour cream becomes involved in a di\ versified system of farming which makes for a prosperous community and one which is always more stable through years of depression. The Prosperity community has a distinct advantage through its new association and has the above goal easily within 1 , , reacft." The Prosperity Democratic club was organized Saturday afternoon at the town hall. Dr. C. T. Wyche, mayof Prosperity, "was elected president, with E. W. Werts secretary. The following delegates were elested to the county convention which cony en as in Newberry May 1st: Mrs. C. T. Wyche, Mrs. T. A. Dominick, Mrs. M. C. Morris, Dr. J. S Wheeler, J.
