LLOYD GEORGE MAY
WIPE Olf ALLIED DEBTS
Some of The Foreign Diplomats at
ashington Expect British Pre
mier to Call Economic
Meeting
AMERICA IS LEFT OUT
England May Cancel Amounts Due
From Eurdpean Countries Pro
vided France Will Give
Germany a Boost
Washington, Dec. 13.--Some of
tle foreign diplomats in attendance
at the arms conference have re
ceived word which they interpret
as indicating that David . Lloyd
George, the British Premier, in
preparing to take the initiative in
world economic matters, having
become convinced fron the results
of inquiries made here that the
American government does not in
tend to call an international eco
nomic meeting; at least not in the
near future.
The British Prime -Minister's plan
according to the information in the
hands of these diplomats, contem
plates the cancellation of all war
debts owing to Great Britain by
Italy, France, Belgium, Russia and
the smaller Balkan Allies, amount
ing with interest to upwards of
two billions sterling.
Wants Relief for Germany
Premier Lloyd George, it is re
called, proposed to President Wil
son that all inter-Allied debts in
cluding those hwing to the United
States should be cancelled but his
present design, according to the
understanding, does not include the
renewal of that suggestion to the
United States. Ie is said to in
tend to annul the debts of other
countries due Great Britai nsubject
to conditions, one, it is understood
being that France should forgive
the debts of Allied countries to her
amounting to about the equivalent
of two billions of (ollars and an
other being a reduction of German
ieparations due to France by 13,
511,000,000 of francs. This is th'e
amount the French government
borrowed of England during the
war, and is about as large a sum
as that loaned to France by the
United States, which was 15,285,
000,000 francs at the exchange
then used of 9.45 francs to the (101
lar. -
!wa.. The idea of -the British govern
i Unt acting independently of the
United States in the cancellation
of debts, according to foreign of
ficials here, appears to have orig
inated with Austen Cha mberlain
when he was chancellor of the ex
chequer. When Sir Robert Horne
succeeded to the chancellorship he
objected to striking off from
among the British assets so large
a sum as the 1,800,000,000 sterling
due with accrued interest. Mr.
Lloyd George is understood to have
been allowing the matter to rest
in til the present but the approach
ing crisis in the finances of sev
eral continental countries, particu
larly, Germany, has led to the
preparation of a plan by Worth
ington Evans and others, wihich it
is expected by the foreign ldiplo
. mats, Lloyd George would present
to an economic conference if o(ne
should be called on his own initi
ative.

TOBACCO CAMPAIGN
MAKING SOME HEADWAY
The campaign for the Co-operative
Marketing of Tobacco made giant
strides last week in Clarendon County
and throughout the State. A number
of counties have already exceedefl
their quota, and we believe that when
this week's results are tabulated that
Clarendon County will be well over
the top.,
D. R. DuBose, County Chairman
and W. R. Gray, County Secretary
express themselves as being well
pleased with the response that the
planters of the county are making.
Leading farmers in nearly every see-!
tion of the county are at work sign
ing up their neighbors. These work
ers report that they are everywhere
finding the farmers heartily in favor
of the movement. Hardly a man but
that jois after he understands the
contract.
The Association has already as
sumed sue,h proportions that inumbers
of the minrity who had been holding
out have come over with the remark
that "there is nothing else to do, it
looks like this will be the only way to
sell tobacco."
Tlie Chairman and Secretary wish
to appeal to the men in the county
who have alrv. dy signed the contract
to get out ajnd get others. It is de
sirable that we give every tobacco
Iplanter in the county an1 opportunity
to becoipie a member of the associa
tion.
Mr. Gray states that township
chairmen and others in the county
have a numher of signed contracts of
which he has no record. le urges
that these be sent or nailed to him
as soon as possible.
I)EATII OF MARY M. RILANIE

years, died at 6:30 o'clock Friday
afternoon at the home of her niece,

of that section. For about forty!
years of her life Miss Rhame was a

grand nieces and nephews and great.
grand nieces and-nephews.

o'clock Sunday afternoon and will be

Rhame was a consistent Christian
lady and -was one of the oldest mem
bers of Calvary Church, having been

SUMMERTON NEWS
T[RS[LY TOLD
We have just beei wondering what
we would write about this week and
hearing the children talking about
Santa Claus we ate! wondering if it is
possible that another Christmas is
almost upon us, of course it is but if
time is passing apparently as fast as
it has with us for the past twelve
n'onths we are surely sailing down
the st ream of time at a rapid rate
and if ladies of "iong standing" and
l(d b:chelors are floating down life's
lathway as it appears, we are, we
loubt if the farmer that was offered
,10 ceits for cotton and sold for tenr
cents has very little to worry about
& 'mrapare l to liboe in the "long
stinding" catagory. But after all we
h:tve all learned to live on less and
h-'ve ouit building air castles and
wleii we look back over the past and
reaie the tact that we have passed
through a mighty, trying time if we
have th i right conception of this life
we are compelled to realize that we
axre wonderfully blest to even he sup
plied withl forod and raiment.
'-chanits are getting very active
11 !the way of displaying their Christ
mras goods and in spite of the fact
that money is not so Ilentiful we ven
ture to say that every father and mo
ther will make the necessary arrange
ments with Santa Claus to visit the
little ones and make them happy as
usual. We have no desire to see any
more beautiful picture or- a happier
bunch of' people than the children on
a Christmras morning sometimes We
are almost silly enough to wish that
one day was Sunday and the next day
Christmjos then we would have a day
of rest and a day of happiness with
many good things to eat of cours!
this could not. be but we kinder sus
pect that. if we would try right hard
we all could spend many happy days
and enjoy many good thh.r0s to eat,
but instead we let our "mdam" rule
us and sometimes some of us at least
look and act just about as though we
were born in crab-apple time and
pickled in vinegar. Let's sweeten up,
we don't know who we might attract.
Many of our- farmers have abandon
ed the idea of tack!ing the cotton cropl
another year and a re putting in prae
tically their entire open land in grain
while others are debating in their own
mmids as to what they shall undertake
in the.n way of growing produce.
Born to Mr. anl Mrs. W. ). Dingle
Sunday morn ing two bouncing boys,
we would like to suggest their nanmes
Woodlrow Wilson anil Warren Iard

this neck of the woods we will hold

space but we'll be coming again next
week and if things work well with us
this week we are liable to embody ini

CHANGES ARE MANY
AT WASHINGTON
Capital of Old is Gone-Delightful,
Dreamy Southern City is Now
Humming World Center.
Washington, Dec. 12.-ollowing a
partial lapsing of \Vashington into
the sedate aiI dignified capital city
of the days of yore, as a result of the
getting away from war-time condi
tions in the three years following the
Armistice, the capital is once more
a-humming. The thoUsanlds of vis
itors drawn by the disarinuneit
conference explain, this. Washing
ton is now cosmopolitan to a de
gree. While this change is agree
able to many, to others it brings
a shade of regret.
Prior to the World War Wash
ington wan, in many respects a de
lightful old over-girown Southern
town-city. There had been the war
with Spain. bringing it into the
spotlight of publicity, and then an
other lapse back into the o(1 ways.
Later, ti oubles with Mexico devel
oped, and people' began to sit up
and t ake notice of the capital but
the city itself was but 'lightly af
fected. Then the war with Ger
many brough t about such a change
in it as hal never been antici
)ated by Washington's intimates.
Multiplying tens of thousands of
people flocked to the capital, most
of thei to do some kind of war
work, and the visitors for a day
or week or month had others fol
lowing them in quick succession.
with the result the war-time pop
ulation increased by leaps anI
bounds.
Has Become a Real letropolis.
Washington became a metro oli
tan city of- around half a mili~on.
It will never return to the stand
ards of the old clays, as govern
mental activities cannot be returi in
ed to what they once were, but
expelses are being cut and work
ing forces rediucei, and these wiln
check the hustle and bustle ma -
terially.
Those who leave Washington go
out as evangels, in a way, preach
ing of the new capital of the n
tion. They take in it a patriotic
pride. Thus, it, is being ad vertised
l as never before. Those who remain
as resiilent, or come for gatherins
of various sorts, as in the present
case the conference on d isairniam
ment, will continue to aivertise it
Ias a world center. The big numn
ber of corresponlents in the capi
tal has been auguimented for the
period of the con ferem-e by hum -
dIredls of others, all of who'lm are
writing under a Washington date
line. With i the con ference over, its
imprint. will remain, and other no
table bo(ies will come for oat ional
and imnt ernUut ionalI gatherings.
Thus, Washington will con Li tie
to ie kept to the forefront in, this
and other countries as a world
center, :nd the view here is, the de-.
lightful old city of other (ays will
returin nto more. But its transfor
mation has been accoipaliel by a
growth of real American spirit.
