COMING CONFERENCE -
FREE FROM POLITICS

Issues.
WILL ACCEPT PLACE
-AS ONE OF BIG FOUR
Alabama Senator Thinks Delegation
Representing United States Will
Act as Unit on Disarmhment
With Task of Convincing
Others First Con
sideration.
Birmingham, Sept. 12.-There
should not and can not be any party
politics involved in the coming dis
armament conference at Washington,
Senator Underwood, Democratic mem
ber of the American delegation, stated
tonight.
"Partly politics should only affect
domestic aluestions," (leclared Mr. Un
(lervoo(l. "When one crosses the
three mile limit going out to sea then
the question becomes an international
one."
Stating that he would accept a
place in the conference as soon as
President Harding's offer was official
ly, received, the Democratic leader as
serted that it was his belief that the
nations represen.ted at the conference
would ba willing to make the nee
essary concessions for an ultimate
agreement which woui(l relieve the
world of its armament burdens and
assure peace to "this and future gen
erations."
"I think the four men representing
the United States at the conference
can stand as a unit on all questions,"
he said. "The (lehgation will un
(loubtedly favor (lisa rmament to an
extent that will be ral i. its effect.
"The problem t!i-t confronts us will
be to convince the representatives
C other nations of tlie necessity, ad
visement and effectiveness of the dis
armament agreenent. Theoretically,
Inone of the great nation, af the world
today stands as an antrgonist to
peace -nd all would agree theoreti
cally that it is a w.e and proper
thing to (10 to re(luce armaments of
the world."
Washinigton, Sept. 12.-Japan and
France have formally given assent
to the American proposal that Bl3
gium and Holland, because of their
large intre-t in the Orient, be in
vited to the discussion of far Eastern
questions at the conference on limi
tation of armament. Favorable re
sponses fro mother powers are expect
ed at the state department within
the next few (lays, but no formal in
vitations will go forward to tih Bel
gian and Dutch governments until
there is unanimious agreement on the
subject.
While these negotiations are pend
img state officials are feeling out the
attitude of the other participants on
what subjects are to be considered
at the conference. The British am
bassado.,r, Sir Auckland Geddea, con
ferred with Secretary Hughes today,
and it is understoo(d the problem of
framing a conference program was
consi(lere(, althoug! there was no
indication that the embassy had re

[WSY NOTES
FROM SUMMERTON
Since the cotton picking has be un
the farmers are begiing to rca ize
that the cotton crop is going to be
much shorter than expected two weeks
ago. To give me idea as to how the
cotton Is yielding, Me'srs. Scar
borough and Hemicninway have picked
over eighty acres and picked out about
twelve bales. Mr. T. H-. Gentry has
picked over forty acres and picked:
sixteeki bales. Many other farmers
who operate one to three plows have
picked from one to four bales and!
some of our most conservative farm
ers declare that from sixty-five to
ninety per cent of the crop is beingi
gathered the first picking.
. In view of these facts our people
are beginning to wonder what the
laboring people who heretofore have
depended entirely on the farm are go
ing to do in the way of making a
fiveli-hood from say October fifteenth
of this year until spring of next year
as it is a certainty that the cotton crop
will be out by the first of October and
very little worik as conditions now
look ef a Iuolic nature will be avail
able. In making this statement it
certainly is not our intention to create
aI pesimistic spirit among our people,
but these.are facts to the best of our
knowledge and belief.
The Rev. Mr. Bailey of Rtock Hill,
wvho is spending sometime with his
wife's relatives here, preached a very
strong sermon to a lai'ge and atten
tive congregation at the Methodist,
church Sunday morning, using as a
text: Job 31st c'lapter and (th verse,
"Let me be weighed in an even bal
ance, that God may know my integ
rity." Mir. Bailey vi'ry foreif'ully emi
phasized the fac' that the Bible andl
the ten coiman idments were God's
scales, and that if we were not very
careful in this life that when life's
works ar'e ended and we were placed
inl the scales w! would be found want
ig. lie also referred to the fact that
when this countiry went to war' with
G.'rmlany thlat theo loquiirements of' thle
army and navy as to height and
weight etc., ha.1d to be modified inl or
der to get a suflieitnt number of re
cruits and had a perfect health re
quirient been desired still more
would have been exeniti ed and if mor.
ality had been contsideed still mtore
would have been exeipted and if the
question of education had been con1
sidered even still more would limve
been exempted and th-it m-my o00kci ''.

woull not he a t verge over thi

of today and that tihe great criies of'

LOCAL CLUB TO BE ORGANIZED
A movement has been started for
;he organization of a Club in Manning
nd it is the intention to use as a
iucleus the personnel of the Ameri
.an Legion Post and its Woman's
-uxiliary.
The proposed name of this new or
ranization is The American Legion
iub of Manning and it is intended
hat there be admitted to membership,
i addition to the members in goodl
;tanding of the two above organiza
ions, representative business and pro- I
essional men and younger men of the!
own who were not in the Military or
laval service.
The plan is to use the present Le
tion Rooms for a Club House and in
-rease the facilities as the organiza
,ion grows in numbers and its finan
:es permit.
It is felt ti-at such a Club will meet
t need in t1 Town in providing facili
,is usuailly provided only in larger
Powns by such organizations as the
V M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Business
u,1,. i's Clubs and Athletic Clubs.
Ve hope that this plan materializes
or besides affording recreation for
ir older citizens, it can be made to
urnish sports and games for our
oung folk.
