AMIES TURN DOWN PLAN Of GERMANY Deadlock Is Reached on Coal Question -Expect Quick Move- To En force Tretay at Once Unless Germany Modiftes Her Attitude. SAYS FRANCE STANDSFIRM Millerand Resolved to Stick by His Guns-German and Belgium Fight. Berlin, July 13.-An unknown man broke into Field Marshal Hinden burg's house today and fired at the field marshal. The bullet missed its I mark and the man escaped. 1 The field marshal was alone at the time and atempted to call a servant. The introduer grappled with the field I marshal and during the struggle fired I fired his revolver. The culprit then broke away and made his escape. Spa, July 13.-A deadlock has been reached by the allied representatives -d the Germans on the coal question, t 6id Marshal Foch and Field Marshal i Wilson, the allied military chiefs, have again been summoned to discuss pos sible enforcement measures. The allied premiers, having been'. informed that the Gernmns were ready called a meeting for 5:30 o'clock this evening, instead of tomorrow, as planned this morning. The German I reply was not acceptable and the sum moning of Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Wilson, it is understood, means immediate measures to enforce the treaty unless Germany modifies 1 her attitude. The German foreign secretary said to the Associated Press: May Issue Order "The Allies may, under the treaty, give us an order concerning coal. If they give an order, we, of course, would try to satisfy 4. But wo do not believe we could. That would not be a voluntary cooperative arrange ment." The secretnry expressed the atti tude of the German delegation as it is tonight, but the allied delegates hope before they take further meas-1 ures that the Germans may change i their decision. Dr. Simmons said late tomight that the /Germans had nothing to add to their coal proposition. He regretted exceedingly the position taken by the Allies and said that the Germans must simply await further action. M. Millerand, the French premier, said he regrets that it is not pos sible for Germany to cooperate with. the Allies in the execution of the treaty, but he is firm'ly resolved to stand on the position now taken up. German and Belgian Fight Spa, July 13.-Some of the members of the German delegation have com plained to Chancellor Fehrenbach of aggressions of which they claim to have been victims since their arrival at Spa. One journalist attached to the German delegation came to blows with a former Belgian officer whose house he occupied at Spa during the war. 0 ASKED) TO GO TO PINEWOOD Pinewood, S. C., July 10, 1920.

C., July 12, Rditor of The Manning Times: I note from the newspapers that >ur fellow citizens at Pinewood and 'urbeville wish to vote themselves out >f Clarendon County and into Sumter Jounty for the purpose of securing )etter roads. t I also note from the newspapers I ;hat some of the country people in t 3umter County wish to vote them ielves out of Sumter county because 1 ;he recent appropriations for good 9 'oads will be expended in and around a :he town of Sumter, for the benefit 1 >f the real estate agents 'n the town f )f Sumter, and because 'he country ;eople in the county rf Sumter will v inve to pay the taxes for good roads a vhile the Shylocks in the town of I 3umter will get all the benefit of the a ecent appropriations .for good roads. t The people of Summerton are inter Isted in good roads and would readily rote themselves into Sumter county, t f Sumter County would put up a one inadred thousand dollar cash bond to ruarantee the people of Summerton ;hat the county of Sumter would build t brick or cement road from the town )f Sumter to the town of Summerton, 0 )ut the people of Summerton are not meh-blatant fools as to vote theisel res into the county of Sumter, vith the expectation of thereby get ;ing better roads and thereby be con )elled to pay additional taxes, upon c ,he mere assurance of Lang Jenn ngs. Lang Jennings is a shrewd and cun iing lawyer, but he would not loan my one in South Carolina the sum s >f one hundred thousand dollars up- t n worthless collateral, and neither t .vould the people of Summerton vote t themselves into Sumter county and a oan Sumter county several thousand lollars in extra taxes without some ind of safe and sound cash bond. When John Sherman was elected to c Dongress from the State of Ohio, the p 1d gentleman was so poor, he had to t sorrow a suit of clothes from a friend, n which to make the trip from Ohio t ;o Washington, but as soon as John v -cached Washington, he had himself put on the appropriation Committee t ror the District of Columbia, forth- g with purchased unimproved real estate t n the District of Columbia, and in- ' stantly made appropriations for t 3ement sidewalks in and through said a animproved real estate, and it is I 1eedless to state that old John quick- t ly became a millionaire, while the f poor ignorant country people in the r State of Ohio were yelling and shout- b ng that old John was a wise and o iun anitarian patriot and statesman. The people of Pinewood and Turbe ill have a clear legal and moral right ;o vote themselves into Sumter county mnd thereby loan Sumter county sev- - wral thousand dollars in the shape of xtra taxes, but I am just a bit afraid 0 Lhat in the end my good friends t around Pinewood and Turbeville will t [Id themselves impoverished and S Lang Jennings and the Shylocks in md around the town of Sumter will ecome immensely enriched, by build- \ ing cement roads through their unim proved real estate, with the hard marned taxes of my good friends from Pinewood and Turbeville. At least, it would appear to any'' reasonable man that the people of Pinewood and Turbeville would re luire Sumter county to put up a cash )ond to guarantee the peonie of Pine wood and Turbeville, before voting ipon themselves extra taxes upon the mere worthless statement of a bunch :>f town Shylocks, who trade upon the innocent country people, and now wish these same country people to vote money into the pockets of these ( town Shylocks, upon the worthless ind unsecuredl statement and promise o provide better roads. At every county seat, can be foundl bunch of Shylocks who trade and ~ ive andl fatten upon the honest labor b f innocent country people, and Jesus, 1I w~hen he lived upon the earth, secured.a w'hips and rods, and drove these vic oious traitors from the holy temple, ~ md the people of Pinewood and Tur- b yeville ihould at lease read history p md~ tab' a solemn warning.

This was the first sale of IV he kind ever held in this section, and A t was a big advertisement for both I lie Bradham farm and Clarendon I jounty. A special Pullman car I rought buyers from Arkansas, Vir- A inia, Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky S nd South Carolina. Messrs. A. C. nd J. I. Bradham deserve much credit v or their undertaking, and it was said I y many expert hog bmeders that IV tere at the sale that their hogs were V s fine as any in the world. Colonel t' ngerhart of Lexington, Ky., was the C uctioneer, and he knows a hog from E he end of his nose to the tip of his N ail. le kept the crowd in a jolly / iood all day with his witty sayings. Ie is not only one of the best auc- p ioncers we have ever listened to, but s e seems to be somewhat of a speak- ti r. He explained the purpose of the c ale and the benefits of pure bred hogs o a -his opening remarks. Col Inger- r art gave to the people the experiences b f others who went into the hog busi- ii ess several years ago, and showed r ow much more prosperous and inde- $ endent they were than the majority C f cotten planters. He told his hear- h, rs that the South was the greatest iI ountry in America, but we were slow I a hitting a stride. The South can, g nd he believed in time it would be the d ieat producing country of the nation. s le advised that we do away with all b crub stock and raise pure breds, and a lie Bradham hogs w cre proof enough li o know that he is right, for some of I hese pigs when three months old are 2 % large as the average scrub at a 2 ear old. We are sorry more of our 4 ome farmers did not ouy at this sale, 5 ut we believe their eyes have been 6 pened, and when money gets more 7 lentiful they will invest in the pure 8 red hogs. 9 The Bradhan's gave a dinner to all 1 hat went out to the sale, which was 1 vell prepared and much enjoyed. It 1 vas estimated that there were from 1 hree to four hundred people on the 1 rounds, and the crowd remained un- 1 il the last hog was knocked down. Mr. 1 '. Wannamaker of St. Matthews was I1 he heaviest buyer. He is starting up 1 . Duroc farm in Calhoun county, and 2 ie realized this was his opportunity I o get the best stock. He paid $1,075 F or one sow and $500.00, for a three C nonths old boar pig. Besides heI 1K ought several other brood sows. Some 1 f the hogs sold will be shipped to! F trkansas, Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky, X ,eorgia and other states. The follow- K ng is a list of the visitors from out V f the State who attended this great1 C ale in Manning: 'I Ira Jackson, Tippacanoe, Ohio, onel F f the most famous Duroc breeders in F he United States.

Conwv. r' DE. C. Hledley, LEST WE FORGET A wave of pr sperity has swept over Clarendon, the vast acres that .once wielded a bare living to those who tilled them, are now one contin uous garden. The plain farm houses have been supplanted by beautiful homes equipped with every modernI convenience, splendid school housesl have been erected and it is indeed a far cry from the beautiful county seat of today with paved streets, mag nificent court house, and handsome homes and business houses, to the lit tle town that arose from the ashes of Potter's vandal torch. But the peo ple of Clarendon are for the most part descendants of the pioneers who returned from the Civil war with a blasted hopes and broken hearts, and I with a courage at which the world marveled, blazed for us the (lusty trail that has broadened into paths of pros perity and peace. Let us sometimes pause in our mad rush after pleasure h and profit, and look backward, lest we forget. In the history of Clarendon county no man has figured more prominently than Col. Harry Benbow, and it is t gratifying to know that a movement M is launched at last to perpetuate his b memory. Long after the shattered remnant of his regiment reached their homes, he languished in a federal pri- a son, and upon his return he lived a t secluded life on his r;verside planta- s tion but in the struggle for white su premacy in 1876 his country again had need of his services. Election day of that year was one that will long be re- d membered, in the quiet town of Sum- ti merton there was no serious uprisings, e or race riot threatened but from the dawn of that gray November (lay un til late in the afternoon a steady stream of dark humanity poured un ceasingly into the town, a vague un rest per'vaded the air and trouble was expected at any moment. A group of ladies were conversing almost in whis pers when one of them suddenly ex- t1 claiied: "There comes Col. Benbow, thank gracious we can rest easy now!" Such was the confidence his presence imspeil d. Late that afternoon as he was leaving town, a note was handed v him from the women of that place, n begging him to remain for their pro- " tection. lie assured them that he would defend them if it cost him his life. and with a few chosen men, i gnumid thl leeping town through the long winter night. 'Tihe worst was yet to come, for within a short time the situation in Clarendon grew so tense that the town of Manning sent out her "S. 0. S." A mob had formed i on the public square-and threats to a burn the town were heard on every h side, both races were excited and it seemed but a question of time. when the threatened riot would break out. lon. Joseph F. Rhame was mayor, and he declared that the situation was beyond municipal control, and called for a volunteer to go for Col Benbow. I It was a dangerous trip to make, for the roads were watched, and the mes senger was likely to be shot from am bush, but there was one man whose courage arose to meet the demand, i Toseph Galluchat Jr. rode alone on 2 nurse back from Manning to Wrights Bluff as the bearer of that message. Even ready to serve his country Col. Benbow responded to the call, and up on his arrival the Mayor formally i turned the town over to him. His first remarks were addressed to the white citizens whom he begged to "keep cool," ah! that was his watch word on the battlefield, he had tested< and proved the wisdom of keeping cool during the panoezma of blood and fire, when for seven (lays there was no '.Al in the leaden stor. "iat raged aromi.d him, and "keep cool' were thei magic words spoken to his regiment, when solid sheet of flame blazed in their very faces. He stoo-l on the court house steps alone, a target for the angry mob and addressed the col oredl race. Kindly but firmly, he as suredl them that the white man wvas their friend as long as they kept their, rightful place but warnedl them that sueh a demonstration as they were making would not for an instant be toleratel, then taking his watch in his hand he allowed them just so many minutes to leave the place. With the greatest respect they listened to him, then knowing that he was not "bluff ing," they <lispersed, andl without bloodshed the town regainedl its us ual qu'iet. Col. Benbow was a poor manager, anid as he advanced in years financial ''ir'enlties arose so thick andl fast, that the clay came when the man whom the flower of Clarendon's manhood had followed on the fields of Virginia, had no where to lay his head. Some1 of his 0o(1 comrades persuadled him at that time to enter the race for Sheriff but his health was poor, and unable to canvass the county as he had (lone mn years gone by, he was dlefeated.: Thewn it was that n relative saidl to him, "I hone you will ask no more favors of Clarendon" cheerfully he re plied: "the greatest favor is yet to ask of her. six feet of her preciousJ soil dlue east andl west, and that she wvil rot dlenv me.". On his death bed he presented his sword to his physi c'.an Dr. Mood of Sumimerton, and by his owvn re(Iuest he was buriedl in Manning. For twvelve years the soldlier statesman has slept in the cemetery of the town that he risked his life to save and although his grave is yet unmarked. "Tn seeds of laurel in the earth The blossom of his fame is blown. And somewhere waiting for its birth, That shaft is in the stone."'a RSIDENT WILL DISCUSS ISSUES WITH NOMINEES wovernor Cox and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt to Call at White House Sunday Morning.
