PEACE CONIEBENCE
Of UNDUE DELAY
WORLD ASKS RESULTS
The President's Appeal Follows Long
Session Marked by More Than 'the
Usual Flow of Oratory.
Paris, April 1.-(By the Associated
Press.)-What is construed as a
warning that the world could not long
countenance further delay in the ad
justment of peace was delivered to
the Allied premiers and military rep
resentatives of the associated powers
by President Wilson yesterday.

it. i; m, *; 'r t ' n '' the President
noirt -' 0 -t i '' t M" (elays that
hi t': o:- rec'i :ei work of peace
making. He declare( that the world
his been aw-aiting the conclusion of
the task of the conferees and that it
hit a right to expect early results.
The President's appeal for an ex
pedited effort followed a long ses
sion in which there had been more
than the usual oratory. It came at
the close of a day when financial ex
ports had been called before the Presi
dlnt and the inremiers. They had ex
plainedl the different points of view
That had arisen dlring the considera
tion of the (uestion of reparation.
Military experts likewise had been
consulted at. length regarding the
reparation.
Experts Consulted.
Military experts likewise had been
consulted at length regarding the dis
position of the Saar valley, the left
hfnk of the Rhine, the problem of
)'inzio: and other questions in which
st, .fnt re- ic-c", ,vere involved.
President Wilson explained today
that he was willing to accept his
share of responsibility for the peace
conference delays. le was careful to
point out that the slowness of the
negotiatioiiswiunot lub to any-single
country or its representatives. He
declared emphatically, however, that
the time for talk was virtually fin
ished and that now was the time to
show results.
Italy insists On Settlement.
Settlement 01 Italy's frontier ques
tion contemporaneously with that of
France was insister upon today by
Premier Orlando at a conference with
President Wilson-just before the coun
cil of four convened to discuss the
Italian frontier question.
The Italian premier asked the Pres
ident whether he hid not think it ad
visable to have an informal exchange
of views on the It alian problem, espe
cially as regards the Adriatic, before
it is presented to the council. The
President replied that fie shared this
view, but owing to the pressure of
work had been unable to personally
study the Italian question. However,
he promised to do so.
Premier Orlando's suggestion at a
sitnultaneously at the frontier clues
ti'ns invoi -s a joint peace with Aus
t:ia a plan which is favored by the
Amlericaa delegation, provided it does
not cause too much delay. In this con
neetion the A merecan boundaries coml
n i:ission expects this week to conclude
all boundaries, including those oif Aus
tria, Hulparia andi Turkey.
Representatives m1 tne aCrolina
Hond and Mortgage Co., of Columbia,
came to Manning yesterday to confer
with the town as to handling paving
bonds and certificates madec by the
property owners. They madec the
town a proposition which wvas accept
fod, and we learn that Petitions wvill
be0 circulated at once ordering the
e'lection. We have no doubt that the
petition wvill be reatiily signed and
the ele:'tion carried, as our people are
pcrogress;ive andi believe in imlprove
maents.
The residents of the tobacco section
of Salem are putting up some vigor
ous kicks against the condition of the
roadl between Manning andl there.
Several of these pieop-e have been in
oar omee lately and inform us that
Manning is liable to 105e the tobacco
biusiners this year if the roads are
not put in con'dition, so that they
can hauil here. They claim they would
sooner sell their tobacco here but they
cannot wear their stock and wagons
out trying to get over the roads. It
10ooks as if it is up to the business
people of Manning to (do something
towards getting the roadl in shape
from the Clarendon line. Manning
will have four warehouses tis year
and they are going to needl all the
business thne can get.

Findings of Railrc
Against North
March 27th, 1919.
Mr. Thomas Wilson, Pres.,
N-W RR of S. C.,
Sumter, S. C.
Dear Sir:
After- going into the complaints of
the citizens of Summerton and other
stations on your line on last Thurs
day, March 20th, at Summerton, and
after full deliberation by this Com
mission concerning the things com
plained of, the Conission has reach
ed the following decision:
1st. That it is absolutely necessary
that all railroads maintain their
schedules, except when conditions ex
ist of a Providential nature over which
the railroad company could have no
control. This applies to your ro:d
most spci!icaliy, as you do not main
tain reie- passenger train service.
;,,n requests that you do
not overload your freight trains as
": - :' are to be mixed trains,
anid th ; ai you find your trn.' r
o (- .ui '. d or are unable to a m:k
:1 hdu ti. oe then freight c;a m.m.
De L uf on side tracks and the re
:+:n c <the train carried through
2.. Much complaint from:1 n:nvry
s .has reached th Co ai.
ro lteiv to the sanitary c(onhiio: o.
your passenger coaches. The rules of
the State Board of Health, which are
the law so long as there is no statu
tory law to the contrary, are very
specific, as are the rules of the Com
mission, in regard to this matter.
Your passenger coaches, so long as
they are to remain in wrrvice, must be
'1r nediai te:y rut. in a sanitary conli
tion an-I so kept.
Er'. As soon as there is sufficient
trafil over your road to justify a
regular passenger train service, this
'J"'" "',Ft be instituted from Sum
ter to WibPon Mill and return.
4th. That your schedules be ar
ranged so as to make connection with
all trains of the A. C. L. R. R. at Wil
son Mill that it is possible to make.
:ith. That. you maintain either a
telephone or telegraph instrument at
Wilson Mill so that your train dis
patcher may be in direct communi
eat ion with your train crews at Wil
son Mill.
we are enclosing hrewith ('y :f
-tier" the Commission nias this' day
written to 'Supt -J. P-, Walker, ot-A.
C. L. R. R., requesting him to co
operate with you in regard to tele
graph or telephone service at Wilson
Mill. If the A. C. L. I. R. does not
co-operate with you in this matter,
then the Commission will be force' to
iss'ue peremptory orders against both
railroad companies relative to this
part of the service.
If the aibuve provisions - re carried
out. the Commission i satisfled that
less complaint will be lodged with this
oflice against your ro'rd, as most as
s'Iredly you must reilize that a train
that is habitually oft of schedule time
is, so far as the public is concerned,
equal to no train at all.
All th above reueets the ('om'is
sf'. extpects to be out into effect
within ten days from date of this let
ter.
Yours truly.

" litor The Manning I'inmes:
1 or the benefit of those who attend
ed the meeting of the Railroad Con
missioners at Summerton on the 20th
the'' of March, I beg to request that
yo i oilb!ish the enclosed order of the
Coammission.
This final order of the Commission
auo':,:t.: to absolutely nothing, for the
following reasons, to wit:
1 M;milar orders have been issued
h." past, covering a period of
noI years, which amounted to ab
solutely nothing.
2 The authorities of the North
western Railroad Co. regard the rail
road Commission as an immense joke

any of its orders.

and who have passes over the rail

priv:Itely and thereby betray the peo
ple.
Your Sum merton corresponlient in
this week's issue of your pa'per is
mistuken in stating that I calle'l the
meeting for the 20th lay of March.
In fact, I did not call the mectin:.
and when the Conmmissiontrs wrote
me that the meeting had beeii called,
I advised the Comnlmissioners not to
waste the time of the people with the
matter, that the Commission hul all
the facts for the past twenty years
and.had dons nothing, but that if the
Commission insisted on coming to
Summerton, I would h pleased to
present the question at issue.
Your Summerton correspondent also
states that he knows nothing of the
grievance that the railroad Commis
sioners have against Mr. Cantey per
sonally, but if your correspondent had
comnumiiniented with me upon the sub
ject, he could have had the pleasure
of reacting all the correspondence with
reference to the matter and possibly
thereby become enlightenedl. Th.'
Commissioners became offended with
me, because at the recent sessioii of
the L egislati.ure, I ignored the Com
mission and took up with Messrs
WidemOan and Sprott, the question of
compelling common carriers to install
telegraph instruments at all junction
al points, in order that the travelint
p'ihlhe may determine the where'ia't
of trains. the obiect of co'crse hain
to relieve the situation at Wilson Mill
The railroad Commissioners of South
Carolina evidently at first onnoso
n bill, beca'se whon I first sent the
bill to Mr. Sprott, he wrote me that
the bill was useless because the Coin,
missioners had promised hiim to t'k k.
up the matter as soon as the L."gis"-I
tore adjourned. but when I replied t
Mr. Spi'ott and sent him letters and

that the Commission had promised
