CLOSE UP VIEW OF
PEACE CONFERENCE
Hon. W. F. Stevenson Writes Interestingly
of the Disarmament
Conference in Aetlon.
% .
' #
I attended the open plenary session
of this great conference December the
10th, when the "Four Power Treaty"
and Chinese Agreement were announced.
The audience was historic,?Savants,
statesmen, Publicists, Practical
Politicians and Visionary Theorists
from all over this country, and all
countries in the world were ther
Judge Hughes presided, and announced
at the opening that the resolution

China had been agreed on in the Committee
of the Whole, that Is it had been
, fully discussed in committee, he assumed
that no discussion was required
now. So he proceeded to put the
question first announcing that the
"United States asssents" and then
Belgium was called and she assented
by voting "aye" followed by Great
Britain, China, France, Italy, Japan,
and Netherlands, etc. That being
adopted, Senator Lodge waa called
, jn ov the Chairman to announce "The
Four Power Treaty" relative to the
Pacific. This he did by reading the
treaty as proposed, and it likewise
was assented to without debate. Then
Senator Lodge was recognized to
speak on it The Members of Congress
and the Senate present were struck
with this scheme,?vote first and then
have the oratory, It has two advan*
tages, (1) no matter bow foolish the
proponent of the measure is, he can't
kill bis bill or measure, Decautse it
has already been adopted, (2) those
, who don't want to speak or hear the
other man speak can go to dinner, and
let the orator orate. After Lodge,
Arthur J. Balfour, head of the British
delegation, Bpoke, and as he always
does, be spoke well, but deliberately,
searching for the right word, refusing
to proceed until it camejto his mind,
and always speaking clearly and sens!
bly. Then M. Viavianl of the French
delegation speaks. He la a torrent o
eloquence, he speaks in French, hf
sweeps along without hesitation, with
expressive face and gestures, and an
* earnestness that must vitalize and
throw a French audience into a paroxysm
<JT enthusiasm. Then Japan is
heard through Prince Tokugawa, who
speaks in English briefly, and in a
businesslike vein, resembling in his
method of statement the British speakers.
Does the insular position of
these great nations affect their methods
of thought and expression? Then

Let's take a glance at the picture,?
the table Is practically a hollow
square, around the outside of which
are the members of the delegations
> and their personal Interpreters. Inside
the square are the four stenographers,
the Marshall and the official
Interpreter. He Is the wonder of the
session. Mr. Lodge makes a long
t speech in Cape Cod English and twang
the interpreter takes it down in shorthand,
and immediately, when the Senator
finishes, he gets up and reads it
off in French as rapidly as delivered
by Lodge, minus the twang. Mr. Balfour
follows in English, In most stately
periods,?the Interpreter reads it
from his shorthand notes into French
at once. Then Viviani makes a speech
with all the vigor and action and
rapidly of Solicitor Monroe Spears,
when hot after a man for murder, and
I the interpreter having taken it down
in French this time, gets up and reads
it into English, (everybody can understand
either French or English). He
is a wonder, not so much that he can
speak French, English and Italian, etc

The Stewards of the "Methodist

the Parsonage on Monday evening at
7 o'clock. v
The meeting was largely attended
and was a most delightful occasion,
everybody being in a hopeful mood.
Mrs. Duncan served delightful refreshments
which greatly pleased the
gentlemen present.
The Board organized by electing the
following officers: Chairman, Mr. R.
B. Laney; Secretary, Mr. W. Ed Reid,
Treasurer, Mr. J. Henry Wannamaker.
The Pastor's salary was -substantially
increased and plans for a general forward
movement along all lines were
inaugurated.
The following gentlemen were elected
Ushers: R. B. Laney, L. C. Reid,
E. Gilbert Smith, Wilson Laney, R.

Next to the Japanese are the Chinese.
Mr. Sze, rather tall, regular features,
and splendidly dressed, with him was
Mr. Wellington Koo, who was very
much like Mr. Sze to the writer, but
much better looking and more tastily
dressed than the Japanese. Then
were the representatP f of Portugal
(they speak English well), Netherland

Belgians are very handsome men, so
are the Italians, who come next. Then
the handsome representative of India,
with white turban, regular features,
square shoulders, bronze complexion,
easily one of the striking figures in
the conference. He is wtth tihe British
Empire delegates, which we have
reached in going around the table.
Then we come to Sir John Salmon of
New Zealand, George Pearce of Australia,
and Sir Robert Borden of C'ana- j
da, Lord Lee of England, Sir Auck'end
Geddes, and next to Judge Hughes
j on his left Right Honorable Arthur
James Balfour. The United States
delegation is on the right of Judge
Hughes, that of Great Britain is on the
left, and the Anglosaxon is a race to
be proud of, when you put them down
with the other races.
The enthusiasm which greets every
announcement of progress, coming
from the most representative audience
ever assembled to witness deliberations
of a body like this (in fact the
first such body that ha? had open
sessons), shows the overwhelming desire
of the world for an assurance of
peace. While Woodrow Wilson didn't
get all he desired, he started something
which the people of the world have
set their hearts upon.

Fires Sunday aid Xeiday.
Dry leaves on roofs came near cam

week.
On Sunday night about 6: SO o'cloc
leaves in the guttering of Mr. Edwl
Malloy'B house caught on fire but wa
extinguished before causing any dan
; age.
An alarm was turned in but thr
misunderstanding the fire truck wei
to the home of Mr. J. W., Malloy*s e
did not get to the fire.
On Monday afternoon at about S.J
the roof of the home of Mr. T. P. Hal
rail was discovered burning, hkvin
started from leaves in the gutter catcl
lag fire from a nearby chimney.
When the fire truck arrived possi
bly 15 feet square of the roof ws
ablaze. With a good strong pressui
to aid them the firemen were able t
put the fire out, using very little watei
thereby causing very little damage t
the part of the house not burned.
The children in the neighborhoo
were very much excited over the fir
for the reason that they had been tol
by & Ouija Board, lert by Santa Clau
at Christmas time, that Mr. Harrall'
house would catch on Are on Friday
Dec. 30th at 3 o'clock and they wer
much relieved when Friday pasae

YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO NEGLECT
YOUR FRUIT TREES
"No legs no horse, no tree no fruit"
?Prune, Spray, Worm, Cultivate and
Plant ASK YOUR COUNTY AGENT.
Under normal conditions the importance
of the home orchard in supple1
mantlng the family food supply is too
great to be estimated. Therefore, with
the invasion of the cotton boll weevil,
' a menace to the South's money crop
t and a pest to remain with us, and the
abnormal prices of all foodstuff, .a few
- fruit trees should be planted about
every homo. Fall and winter month
are best for orchard work and there
is only one thing that pays better tha:
haying a sound knowledge of how to
' care for the orchard, and ihat is to
use it and make your'3 the best fruit
trees in the county. ; The mere fact
' of a high priced fruit tree having been
planted does not insure fruitful r*turns,
and if this is not properly cared
" for all tHie owner gets for his labor i
1 and money Invested is a case of disappointment.
We urge you to begin :
at once and either plant a few trees i
" or prune, spray, and cultivate those i
that you already have, giving these a <
v ? J
Itur UJLUVU VC| ttuu UUI^3 iCOUIW.
The shortage of good trees and vines
> with the prevailing high prices of
fruit should be accepted as an objec
lesson and tlhe combination ought to
encourage the planting of a few fruit
c trees on every farm and better atten1
tion given to the old orchard. If) you
have a home orchard, or even scattered
plantings of a few fruit trees wor1
thy of attention begin at once to prune
spray, worm and cultivate; otherwise,
1 arrange to plant one-fourth acre (approximately
30 trees and vines). At
this time, trees and vines enought to
' plant one-fourth acrp, whidh is enough
1 to supply the average family will cost
between 110.00 and $15.00. You can't
afford to neglect your orchard as the
' fruit tree, not unlike man, will grow
1 sick if neglected.
In conjunction with the county
agents thorughout the State a cam'
paign for the winter pruning, spraying
' and related orchard work is already
on in the various counties. The Horticultural
Specialists of the Extensio
j Service, Clemson College, S. C., have
arranged and are now carrying out a
schedule by which to spend ong to
I three days with each oounty agent.
r If you are interested in growing fruit
either on a small or large scale and
desire Information, write, phone or
ask your county agent or banker for
} information concerning "Orchard
f Week" and arrange to attend some of
me neia demonstrations in rrunir
and spraying that will be given In the
various orchards over the county during
the week designated as "Orchard

Program Adopted by Taxpayer'
aoclatlon.
At a meettlng of the Taxpayc
South Carolina on December
1921, a program was adopted pi
[ng for the following new sourc
revenue for State purposes: a
line tax, an occupation tax, an li
tance tax, an increase in the cor
lion license tax, an income tax c
sxceed 10 per cent of the total Fe
Ax assessed against each tax(
ind a luxury tax.
In order to reduce the laxei
visible property which Is now al
Dver-burdened with taxes, it wi
accessary to secure revenue
ather sources.
The business men of this
have given this matter very cj
md mature consMeratlon, and r<
oiend to the General Assembly
passage of the above tax laws, i
will reduce the State levy fro
per cent to 50 per cent. It is It
sible, with our Constitutional li

which will afford relief to the
payers now paying more than

nchee his Influence that Mr. Boblender came
r Du- bere in September and investigated
e riv- this territory. Conditions prevented a
Coun- decision at that time bat a number of
irfleld onr citlsens were favorably Impressed
with Mr. Boblender and urged that he
oman locate a nursery here. While here
ether be told a car of stock in the county v
cakf and, at the request of a number of our
four people, Mr. Kerr persuaded him to
come again as soon as he shipped this
n of car. The location of the nursery is
a and the result And the appearance of
,pron, the stock he shipped is a further en*
chin, couragement to the belief that his

ie of- Sereral persons were conoerned in
lyone the securing of this enterprise and
ption. used their influence to that end; hut

pHshed by 'the co-operation of C. K.
at in- Waddill and L. C. Raid with Mr. Kerr
any and Mr. Boblender and these men will
probably comprise the new company,
d ne- It was because of his favorable imrlver
presslon of the possibilities in fruit
thing growing in our locality that Mr. Bo*
d ap- hlender induced Mr. 8. W. Moore,
vestl- Ohio State Horticulturist, to attend
iddle the State Peach Convention hers this
bod- fall and Investigated our territory.
n the Mr. Moore's favorable report had great
froir influence in determining Mr. Bohleni
as der to return to Cheraw and, consider c
the nursery proposition. And some- ,
I fell thing even more important promises
op of to develop from Mr. Moore's visit He
come himself became greatly interested and
Impressed with the poesibil.Ues of
iridxe our section and it seems that there
ft Is a very good chance of Inducing
{ro him to oome to Cheraw.
A few of our business men, interested
In peach orchards and vineyards,
p Af have decided to take the risk of guaranteeing
Mr. Moore's salary provided
contracts can be made with orchard
irs of owners for Mr. Moore's services so
14th, as to cover a part of his salary. If
rovifl- this can be done quickly, a proposes
of tion will be made to Mr. Moore,
gaso- It la thought unwise to offer Mr.
iherl- Moore less than a tlirss year contract
pora- and the plan to cover a part of his
tot to ealary is to secure contracts with
deral those who are putting out orchards
layer, and vineyards, providing for Inspection
and advisory supervision at a
, 0D moderate charge per acre per year
ready for three years. ,
11 be As It la of great Importanoe that
from trees and vines have proper attention
from the time of planting, It Is hoped
State t^t the arrangement proposed can
ireful Bad* soon. Mr. Kerr hopes to
icom- have the matter determined soon and
r the 't seems that those who will be needvhlch
,n? advice and help would be glad of
m 40 this opportunity to secure the services
npos- of a man so splendidly qualified as
mlto. I Moore, and thoee who heard him at
sure8 the Peach Convention gained conflux
dence in hit ability and his love of
their work.
en Mr. Bohlender unqualifiedly roaches
for Mr. Moore's ability and has
agreed to pay his share of Us salary
if the orchard men show that they
been really want sac hhelp by asking for
prov- contracts. After carefully going into
the details of this proposition, Mr.
Reld and Mr. Waddlll are enthusias,
tic and are dotng all that they can to
i co- acquaint the growers with the fac
1 as which they hare secured.
We wish for this new enterprise all
the success it is due and we trust our
het. peach growers will get behind the
proposition to bar* Mr. Moors locate
here.
