Manning, who gave six sons to the Fnited States Army, one of whom did not return, was the principal speaker at the luncheon yesterday and his elo quent adress stirred his audience to action when subscriptions were called for. Governor Manning was referred to hy Dr. H. T. Graham, who presided and introduced him, as (he greatest governor in the greatest state of the greatest nation in a w*ar- ring world. Governor Munnieg made a most eloquent address. He pictur ed conditions in this country at Hie outset of the war and sketched brief ly the various phases of war work all of which was carried to a successful conclusion in a manner which amaz ed the world. Referring to South Caro lina the Governor declared that this state furnished more than the quota of men, gave $80,000,000 to the. vari ous Liberty Loans, $10 000.000 to the various war work organizations, and that her soldiers won one-eighth of the Congressional medals awarded tor distinguished service. He was afraid that in this era of reconstruc tion when men and women were busy adding to their fortunes that they were forgetting the men who fell in France in the effort to make this counry where tlie’ sun shone and tlx* birds sang am} the land lay in peace and plenty. Should any one stop for a moment’s reflection, however, he would realize the debt due to the hoys who made all of this possible. Governor Manning told of conditions in the war stricken area as he saw them after the armistice was signed, and declared feelingly that the pen pictures afforded most of us could not bring a realization of the real conditions. Neath the Poppies He referred to the plots in nil'parts of France and Bcfglum dotted with the graves of Americans, South Caro linians, who fell in the great strug gle and whose graves are now cover ed wih poppies.

Florence Times Bureau, Wyatt A. Taylor, Correspondent. Columbia. April 28.—The cas» against Corporal Maston, one of the four soldiers charged with the mur der of William Chaplin hero January Unh was called at Camp Jackson Diis morning, but the case was con tinued, after the court had been re duced to half Its personnel, by Ob jections of the accused and the mat ter will be referred to the Southeast ern department at Charleston for Die appointment of additional num bers of their court. Maston was corporal of tho guard which fired on several automobiles on the camp road and the trial Is likely to produce sensational tetetl- matiy. This is the third soldier to be tried for the Chaplain murder, Pro- vatc Roy Janusz having been acquit led and Private Roy Sanders, who Is charged with having fired the fatal shot, having been, It is believed been found cruiltv. The decision in the Sanders case has not yet been an- i.ecu, ttiougn attorneys for the de fense admit tha tthey believe the ver diet wHI be against Sanders. It is apparent that stress will be laid in the trial of Maston, on the or ders that he, as corporal of the guoard, gave to the,two privates un der him on the night of January 10. Sanders and Janeusz testified that they were instructed to halt all auto mobiles, and that if they did not stop on the third command, to shoot in the air or on the ground. So far there lias been no testimony to show what orders Lieut. Fowlf.r, who was officer of the day, gavo to Corpral Maston.

On last Saturday a few Democraelc clubs en dorsed his candidacy, but there were few. The i iotrney general has some followers, though as yet presidential sentiment has not yet crystalized. Important Liquor Case What is said by United States District /-t:o*ney for the Western Dia diet of South Carolina, Francis H. Weston, to he the most important li quor case In South Carolina in re cent years, is being argued before the circuit court of appeals in Richmond, beginning today, the case against George W. Durst, charged with trans- L'-'rtfihg v/hiskey. Mr. Weston left Columbia late Monday for Richmond to represent the government In the case. The appellant is represented by the Hendersons, of Aiken. The importance of the caae centers in the fact that Durst claims that the liquor he was found transporting was being carried from one state’ td apoth er. an irter-state transaction. Durst gives Augusta, Ga. , as his home. He was arrested in $81| in Columbia, with 240 quarts of whiskey In bis automobile, this having been brought by him from Baltimore, where be went by automobile to get it. Officer iu Columbia, city, federal and Camp Jackson milhsry police heard that Durst was on his wey from Ba'tiiuore, carrying the whiskey in his automobile, nno they laid a trap for Mm and on his reaching this city he was arrested. He was convicted in ‘federal court iu Aiken, last October and sentenced to serve six months. He appealed and the appeal Is now be ing heard in Richmond. WANT TRADE WITH RUSSIA u. s.
