Mr. Daugherty expressed the opinion that the wide?pread unemployment was responsible for nfuch of the crime in the country.

A large aivpIe in op- 1 TOW and ranking liead of the Japanese delegation to the armament conference here, proceeded today to answer the specific question: "What is Japan's justification for a big navy?" "Every nation," he declared during a conference with newspaper correspondents, "feels the necessity for self defense and knows that forces sufficient for self defense must be provided. The degree depends on many factors and conditions, 'internal and otherwise, and the relations of the country with our powers." "For instance," the-admiral continued, "in the Far East Japan occupies an insular position. Should there exist a nation that intends to make an attack upon Japan it is the naval forces alone that can defend our empire. Japan is not self sufficient. The question of the smallness or greatness of a navy depends upon the joint of view of each nation concerned. I do not consider the navy of Japan a great one. The plans already adopted are' much inferior to the program adopted by Great Britain and the United States." Death of Mrs. Maggie Patterson Mrs. Maggie Patterson, wife of Mr. Mack Patterson, died at her home on West End Sdnday night and her body was carried to Laurens county Tuesday for burial.

IS A MYSTERY Allendale, Nov. 8.?One of the most mysterious affairs ever occurring in this country came to light this morning when the fourth member of the < family of Joe Lee, a constable of < Magistrate S. W. Owens, living at Baldoc, a town about four miles from < here, succumbed to a mysterious ill- < ness last night. Previous to the death i of the wife of Lee last night three of the children of the family had died, ] all within less than a week. The only i members of the family now alive ai*e 1 a four-months-old baby and Lee him- \ self. Lee was taken to the University ( hospital in Augusta, Ga., this morning ( upon advice of physicians who are ( unable to diagnose the case to their j satisfaction. ( An inquest was held over the body t r>f Mrs. Lee this morning and the vital organs of the woman sent to the state ? laboratory for analysis. The pecu- j liarity of the affair lies in the fac* , that every member of the family has j been affected the same way. In addi- , tion to this it is reported that all the live stock around the home of Lee has been affected. Two boys have died. ^ All the poultry is said to have died ( The facts, together v.rth other circum- . stlfnces, have brought out the opinio^ in this section that the family has in 1 some way been poisoned and the stomach of one of the victims was sent ^ Wednesday to the laboratory of the state board of health for examination Ph^board further has been requested J send to the scene an expert to ox amine at the source the possibility ' u J 1 _ it. rro - ii I oi cue poisoning ineory. mis in an pre will be done and a correct N die loiris ?f the case be in hand in a ^ few days. ' ()ne physician in attendance on the v family went so far as to admit that i the symptoms in all the cases were * almost identical to those evident in arsenic poisoning. The theory of poisoning is given further credence by the fact that the victims them- t selves firmly believed that such is the t ca8e and go further and st ate' that s the poisoning is the result of foul f play and go so far as to give the i name of thle alleged poisoner. It seems i that Lee or somi member of his fam- ; ily had had a difficulty with a nearby I neighbor and there was bad blood be- < i committed the crime alleged. So far j no action ba3 been taken officially due , to an utter lack of evidence. I.ce seems ( to think, and the peculiar, circumstances arising from the death of the livestock about the place boars this \ out in n way, that the well, from j which the supply of water was taken , had been poisoned. It is for the pur- j pose of examining the water in the t well and to leak into other peculiar circumstances surrounding the j /InofVi lli a \nnfi m c I V\ o + fltn uvai.ll U* vh V * ivvuua, vitu w vnv j presence of an expert from the state board has been requested. While all three of the physicians so far called j into the case cling to th.c hypothesis ( that acute malaria is the cause, of the deaths, there is an obvious doubt in all their minds and a thought apparently that the poisining theory is not altogether impossible. Every effort 1 will, of course, be made to clear the mystery of the affair up. J ^ 9 Committees Appointed The following committees have been appointed by Mrs. F. M.

Among those who will actual'y sit ' it the conference table, Admira f Saron Kato, head of the Japanese lelegation and naval minister of th< v apanese government, made himsel he center of attention by a iniblic 1 tatement asserting that his nalio vas willing in the interest of a sue essful conference to go to the 1 ngt ^ f reducing her "eight-eight" nava milding program if a satisfactor; roportional agreement could b cached. Meantime Premier Briand of "ranee, confining his public evpres lions to a general renewal of hi lation's willingness to meet every >ody else half way in the iffort t educe armament, paid a round of of icial calls and familiarized himse i , vith the situation in confert nee wit lis colleagues and officials of th j Yeneh embassy. During the day hi vas received formally by Presidnr j] larding and the two exchanged gooIrishes for the success of t'ie con 'orence. j. Members of the newly arrived Netherlands delegation also were giv , n a formal audience late in the af h or noon by the president, who ha spent much of the day at work on th f iddress with which he will open th t onference on Saturday. Tonight ih( Manuscript was virtually complete I Hid Mr. Harding let it become knowr that it reflected his proposed ? ours t af conduct throughout the negotia t lions by dealing only in a broad waj v *nd leaving the specific presentatioi )f American proposals to the Ameri ?a? delegates themselves. F Secretary Hughes, as hca ! the \meriean delegation is expected tc ! leconie at least the temporary presid ng oflicer of the full assen b'age o lelegates and as such he will preseti' ^ 'or the approval of the conference : r :entative plan of procedure. Diplomatic usage may result in Mr 1 lughes retaining the gavel and also n the selection of an American a v secretary general. Upon every hand there appeared to v je a growing belief that the deails of organization and preliminary ' icgotiations will be completed quick v and that when the conference is bin 1 i few days old it will find itself in th< ^ 1 nidst of its most serious work. i m r Sheriff Fant and Rural , Policemen Destroy Stilh n n Last week Rural Policemen McDan cl and Lawson destroyed a r>0 pralloi itill located on the plantation of Mi ' 1..
