on Whole, However.
Washington, Oct. 14.?Due-to an
unimportant but irritating new complication,
President Wilson spent a
restless and uncomforable day but
his condition tonight was described
by his personal physican, Rear Admiral
Grayson, as improved.
In the regular night bulletin on the
president's condition issued from the
White House at 10 o'clock ut. uruyson
said:
' The president has had a restless
and uncomforti^ble day bult he is
better tonight."
In connection with issuance of the
bulletin. Dr. Grayson announced that
I Dr. H. A. Fowler, a Washington spe.
cialist has been called in for consultation
and through his efforts it had
been able to reduce the swelling of
the ^rostate gland, which it was stated
today had Interfered with he i^st
of the president last night.
; v The new element entering into the
president's illness it was stated, was
; of the non-operative type.
The general condition of Mr. Wilson
again was described as favorable
1 Rear Admiral Grayson, his personal
physician, and Dr. Stitt and Dr Ruf.
fin, the consulting physicians, noting
in the daily bulletin that his temper.
r ' ature, pulse, respiration, heart action
s and blood pressure were normal.
While announcement that the pres-ljdent's
frest was being inerfered with
by a swollen prostate gland it was
emphasized by Dr. Grayson hat such
was not uncommon and was of little
importance save as it caused some diseomfort.
Reports that congress might ad_
journ pending he presiden's recov^ v
wre met at the White House wih
the staaemeut th?t such a step was
absolutely unnecessary and would be
opposed vigorously by the executive.
It was reiterated today that the president's
condition^was such as to allow
him to act on any important legisla.
tive matter that might demand his attenion.

BLACK MEN ARE PROSPEROUS.
Negroes in Mississippi are Happy and
Contented.
? X
Exceptional happiness, contentment
and prosperity among the negroes of
Mississippi is reported by a committee
of Chicago white and negro men
after an investigation of conditions
is that state. The committee was delegated
tos visit Mississippi by the'
Chicago Association of Commerce, the
Federal Bureau of Labor and by organized
labor to which had been
roferrorf a mips firm nf nidine the re-!
turn of southern bom negroes to the
south.
A written statement prepared by;
the committeee said:
"The happiness, contentment and
prosperity among the colored race in
Mississippi is much greater than the
committee expected to find. We know
no place where greater happiness and
prosperity prevail among them." 1
School facilities were found to be
good; churches adequate, housing
conditions being improved rapidly
and race relations good, according to
the report, while the industrious;
negro is afforded excellent opportunij
ties to become a land owner. No place J
oppression, imposition or "lawless-'
ness" was found. Negro workers in
the sawmill districts were reported
happy and contented.
M^y of the farm laborers were
found to be working on the share
system. Negroes having no capital,
teams or implements are equipped by
the land owner, receiving, usually, a I
half of the crop they produce, while
those with teams and implements are
given two-thirds. The statement con- J
tinues:
"We found that the average work-,
er who cultivated what is known as!
the 'one mule crop* was able, using,
the year 1938 as a criterion, to^ro*!
duce a sufficient crop to net him*. ov_'
er and above all living expenses, from i
$500 to $1,500 a year. We found several
men who began work under the |
tenant system and who now own their
own plantations and are themselves,
employers of negro labor and are
worth from $10,000 to $175,000.
These facts were secured for the negroes
themselves and we had the priv.
liege of riding with them and sur-|
veying their farms in automobiles
they own."

SCARCITY OF CARS
BOTHERS RAILWAYS
Director General Walker I) Hines
i . Places Facts Before the
Publiq.
The railroads of the ctnintry are
;doing a heavier business at the present
time than ever before in normal
times and practically as heavy as they
did last year,, says Director General
Walker I). Hines in a statement
which he issued yesterday. This
statement was sent to the various
presidents of the railroads and re-.
quests were issued in Raleigh through
the local agents of the Norfolk
Southern an(f the Seaboard Air Line.
The statement follows:
The railroads or the country are
now doing a heavier business lor the,
present season of the year than was;
ever dentin the history of,the railroacs
in normal years and practically\
as heavy business as was done ai|
this season in 1918, which exceeded
all previous records. They have in j
actual operution'more cars after ex.!
eluding cars held out of service for;
: repairs, than in 1917 or 1918.!
While the bad order car situation was '
greatly embarrassed by the extensive!
;strike among the shopmen inAugust,
| the percentage of bad order cars is;
! now rapidly improving There was
jan increase of 52,456 cars in service!
able londition between August 16th
and October 4th.
While the freight business is prac- j
tipally as heavy as usual at this time:
of year the railroad administration'
in performing that business is un-!
I avoidably deprived of many exceed-;
1 ingly important aids which was j
able to utilize last year.
One of these is the zoning of coal,
! which last year compelled consumers
;to take their coal from nearby mines'
and thereby greatly increase the effectiveness
of coal transportation.
This advantage has necessarily been
lost because the zoning was terminated
last winter.
Another is that last year there
was much heavier loading of many
nnportant commodities than it has
been possible to secure t is year;
and the result is that undei existing i
conditions more curs have t0 be used [
for the same amount of traffic than '
were used last year.
There are various other important
respects in which traffic was controlled
in the interest of the war
J last year so as to get the maximum j
results out of rail transportation and:
iwith the return of peace conditions'
'and the resulting insistance of public!
isentiment upon release from wartime!
! restrictions these advantages have
been lost.
The fact that there is still a short.'
age in rail transportation is due to
the conditions that the amount of |
j business offering is far in excess of f
the transportation facilities of the!
countryv This has always been true,;
in this country, in times of heavy
business in the autumn months excepting
Ihst year when the matter
could be and was controlled with an
iron hand, with a view sole to war
necessities.
At the same time railroad facilities
have not expanded to the extent
required in the public interest.
Even prior to war railroad faciliteis
were not equal to the demands During
the war the addition of new fa.
cilities was greatly restricted by the
scarcity of material and labv, since
the war it has been imposible to in.
augurate or carry out any extensive
program for enlargement of rail capacity
because of the uncertainty as
to the status of the railroads. The
railroad administration was not pro-j
vided with the money and, therefore,
could not originate or carry out any
such program, and the railroad companies,
in view of the uncertainties,
were unwilling to provide the money J
The result is that the railroad facilities
of the country are decidedly
below what the traffic demands Nevertheless
the maximum traffic is be.;
ing handled and this is being done
with less shortage of transportation i
than manifested itself art times inthe'
pre-war period. Particular attention1
is being paid by the railroad alministration
to the furnishing of neces-,
sary equipment for the transportation
of coal and grain.
It was decided early in September
that in order to meet the coal requir.
ments of the country it would be necessary
for the railroads to move aj
minimum of 11,000,000 tons of bitu-j
minous coal a week For the week end-!
ed Sept; 13, 11,046,000 tons were!
transported; for the week ended Sep- j
tember 20, 11,248,000 tons were |
transported and for the week ended
September 27th the railroad admin.]
istration estimated that appromimate. \
ly 11,575,000 tons were transported^
Conditions have developed which i
have made it necessary to handle the
wheat situation in an imergency way.
This situation has been complicated
by the fact that many of the elevators,
are full and it has been impractible!
to move additional wheat to points,
where the elevators are full because
to do so would cause large numbers |
of railroad cars to be filled with ]
erain which could not he disposed of
at destination and this would result |
in using them for storage and depriving
the public generally of cars
which are badly needed for business
of every sort.
The railroad administration is fol-j
lowing this matter very vigorously in
consultation with the Grain Corporation
and the Director General will
consider the matter personally at a
meeting of interested railroad offi_)
Corporation and others to be held at
| Chicago this week.
As to the situation in Texas where
| the wheat condition is particularly
OIL BURNERS FOR SEABOARD.
Have Sinned Bin Five Year Contract
With Mexican Company.
It is stated that the Seaboard Air
Line Railway Company has entered
into a contract with the Mexican Petroleum
Company by the terms of
which the oil company is tb furnish
40 per cent of its fuel requirements
for the next.five years. The oil is
to be sold on a basis of $2 per net
ton of coal. A ton of coal is taken to
be equal to ^.66 barrel of oil.
It is stated that the Seaboard exnppts
tn convert 250 of their engines
to the oil burning type. It will be one
of the first big roads to adopt this
plan in the southeast. This will greatly
decrease the cost of transportation
Tanks costing $250,000 will be
erected at Tampa and Jacksonville
to be kept filled by steamers from
the Mexican company's docks. It is
said that $750,000 will be used in
converting the engines to oil burners.
This will m|ke a total expense of
$1,000,000 which is to be loaned to
the Seaboard by the oil compahy and
paid back at the rate o^ 10 cents to
the barrel, of oil Used.
The contract calls for 3,000,000 barrels
of oil to be furnished between
September 1, 1919, and December
21, 1924. The railroad company will
pay 65 cents a barrel of 42 gallons,
plus the hauling charges.?Charles,

WEEVIL SWEEPS
Sl'MTER COUNTY
Sumter, Oct. 12?It looks as
though the much-talked of and
dreaded cotton boll weevil has swept
0ver more than half of Sumter county
before any one in this county knew
it was here. Late Saturday afternoon
County Agent J. Frank Williams reported
that in addition to finding
the cotton weevil on the plantation of
Mr. S. J. White, six miles south of
Sumter, it had been looted on the
plantation of Mr. Willie Shaw, about
four miles east of Sum:er, on the
farm of Mr. W. R. Weils, north of
Sumter, and still further north or
slightly northeast on the farm of Mr.
Andrew Vincent. The three new in.
testations are miles away from the
first point found to be covered with
weevils, south of Sumter. County
Agent Williams and Prof. Bundy, the
Clemson college weevil expert, are
confident that if frost is postponed
the weevil will do much damage
Unconfirmed reports of the weevil in
the extreme western and northwestern
sections of this county will be investigated
tomorrow or next day, it
is said. Coming in from the south
by way of Clarendon county and
sweeping with unusual rapidity to
different parts of the county, confirms
the opinions of the expert investigators
that all of the territory
in between the extreme points of the
compass and in different sections of
the county must surely be infested
It is said that much damage has been
done to the cotton already. If this be
so, then where does the theory come
in that the weevil does little damage
to cotton the first year, when com.
ing into this county at- the end of
the cotton growing season it has already
done a lot of damage. Getting
an early start in 1920, after wintering
in this county, what will it do to
cotton next year?

A HEART-TO.HEART TALK.
Mr. Editor:
By your generous courtesy I wish
to have a heart-fo-heart talk with
my Methodist brethren and sisters of
the laity among you- readers
The education of my children appeals
strongly to me. I fully share
the worthy sentiment of the Rev. Jas.
T. Kilgo, of blessed memory, who
proclaimed the fact that he could not
willingly throw his children upon society
uneducated, and sooner would
eat corn bread and wegr patched
clothing the rest of his life.
As a superannuate member of the
South Carolina Conference, with eight
attractive children (they get their
good looks from their mother) ranging
from four to 20 years, the oldest
three of whom are daughters, I
much desire a residence where there
is a college for women.
If only some large-hearted man or
woman, or a group of such, might donate
the use of a house for several
years, or lease it at a low rental, we
would be grateful indeed for such
considerate kindness.
To make sure of securing one,
however, I hereby request that
friends reading this, who can do so
without diminishing their offerings
elsewhere, shall write me quite soon
a letter or postal saying, "Brother
Betts, you may each year call on me
for $ toward paying the rent of
a home in any college town, till I
give you notice to the contrary." A
dollar or more promised in this way
to aid us will be appreciated. The
discipline allows us to reside anywhere.
Respectfully,
W. A. BETTS,
Olanta, S. C.

rruined Nurse Gets Big Verdict
Against Kirr/y Brothers.
In the court of common pleas last
reek Miss Lula Williams, a trained
mrse, got -a heavy verdict against
Sdward and Herbert Kirbyt sons ot
he late John Kirby, who lived for
nany years across Catfish from Dolian
church.
Miss Williamson alleged in hei
complaint that she was roughly
rected by the Kirbys while working
n the capacity of a trained nurse at
he home of Oliver Hyatt. Mies- Wiliamson
was nursing Mr. Hyatt who
vas sick with pneumonia when, it
ras alleged, at an early hour one
norning last December the Kirby
n-others came the Hyatt house and
ifter making a forcible entrance
hreatened her life with a pistol and
ittempted to do her bodily injury.
?he testified she woke up and found
^awara Airory sianuing over uer
vith a pistol She fled to Mr. Hvatts
oom and was followed by Edward
virby who continued his threats. She
layns that the Kirbys were under
he influence of whiskey. Said she
lid not know the Kirby brothers and
ould not account for their strange
ondiict.
The Kirbys stated in their answer
hat they had made frequent 'visits
o Mr. Hyatt's house and had met
diss Williamson previous to the night
if the alleged difficulty. They denied
hreatening her life and had not actd
in an ongentlemanly manner.
The jury gave Miss Williamson a
'erdict for $3000 against Edward
virby and verdict for $2000 against
ierbert Kirby. The day before the
rial Edward Kirby disposed of his
nterest in his father's estate and
eft for parts unknown. The court has
ssued a bench warrant for his arrest
tnd if located he will have to give
>ond in double the amount of the
erdict.
The only other case tried during
he latter part of the week was that
if W. H. Burney against W. B Lun.
tv. The plaintiff alleged that the deendant
had been careless in putting
>ut fire and as a result of Lundy's
arelessness Burnev's storehouse and
