MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY. APRT9. 2 1010 IiSIDENT WARNS 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.

World Wall'' 1'e.uils. 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. BIG COTTON. fIRE AT DARLINGTON MONDAY More Than 1,000 Bales Destroyed; Loss is Over $250,000.

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.

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.

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. Frank W. Shealy, Chairman. March 27th, 1919. Mr. J. P. Walker, Supt., A.

" 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 mnl pay no attention to any order is :ued by the Commission and the (om mission niak..s no effort to eafort. any of its orders. 3 The Northwestern Railroad Co. a number of friends in Summer ton who arce employcd by the railroad and who have passes over the rail road. and these henchmen keep quiet it the public meetings and afterwards g(o around and see the Conmissioners 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 ordlers from the Commission showin' that the Commission had promised that ver" thin'o a ear' biefore and had iione not hma- M~ r.
