Member of Associated Press The Associated Press is exclusively ntitled to the use for republication ol lews dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper and *Jik> the local news published theiein .SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1D21 The Republicans went into office with a whoop. The whoop has already lost most of its zest. Election returns from several sections have shown a trend towards Democratic success. It will be remembered that Mr. Wilson's hands were tied when the Republicans got control of the senate. The Wilson administration was then made the scapegoat. The situation now developing points to a like situation with the parties reversed. If the Democrat.can get control of the senate Mr. Harding's administration will become the scapegoat. We may expect some very curious situations to arise. And the Republicans, having dealt the Demo crais so uniair a oiow, neeu not e.x poet consideration when the tables turn. We again urge the farmers to destroy their cotton stalks. It is the only way, so far known, to whip the | boll weevil. And, while destroyin; the stalks, do it right. Use a d s" harrow to "chew up" the stalks, the) plow them under. Very encouraging news comes to us from various sec tions of the county. Quite a number >f farmers have already destroyed the cotton stalks and many others are preparing to take that work up at once. Do not be misled by those who say it is foolish. Do not be misled by those who say the boll weevil will do no damage in this county. Go after the old cotton stalks, clear up terraces, clear up the hedgerows. You will be able to produce a reasonably good crop of cotton next season, and cotton is going to be worth something Some farmers are going to dela\ too long. Wet weather will set in and it will then be too late. Do not ,ose a day; get about stalk destruc lion at once. Let Union county "go over the top" in the boll weevil fight This is a habit with Union county? "going over the top.'v Let this mo\c be no exception. Destroy cotton 'talks; do it now!

"Productive labor is staggering unlet an economic burden too heavy ?o be borne unless the present vast public expenditures are greatly reduced. It is idle to look for stability, or the assurance of social justice, or the security of peace, while wasteful and unproductive outlays deprive effort of its just reward and defeat the reasonable expectation of progress. The ] enormous disbursements in the rival-1 ries of armaments manifestly constitute the greater part of the encum- , brance upon the enterprise and national prosperity; and avoilable or extravagant expense of this nature is not only without economic justification but is a constant menace to the peace of the world rather than an assurance of its preservation. Yet there would seem to be no ground to expect the halting of these increasing outlays unless the powers most largely concerned find satisfactory basis for an agreement to effect their limitation. The time is believed to be opportune for these powers to approach thi3 subject directly and*in conference; and while, in the discussion of limitation of armament, the question of naval armament may naturally have first place, it has been thought best r.ot to exclude questions pertaining to other armament to the t end that all practicable measures of j lelief may have appropriate consid-j eration. It may also be found advis-' able to formulate proposals by which in the interest of humanity the use of .;ew agencies of warfare may bo suitably controlled. '"It is, however, ^quitc clear that there can be no final assurance of the peace of the world in the absence of the desire for peace, and the prospect of reduced armaments is not a hopeful one uiiloss this desire finds expression in a practical effort to remove causes of misunderstanding and to seek ground for agreement as to principles and their application. It is the earnest wish of this government hat through an interchange of views with the facilities afforded by a conference, it may be possible to find a . olution of Pacific and Far Eastern problems, of unquestionable importance at this time, that is, such common understandings with respect to r.iaters which have been and are of international corcern as may serve to i romote enduring friendship among our peoples. "It is not the purpose of this government to attempt to define the scope f the discussion in relation to the Pacific and Far East but rather to leave this to be the subject of suggestions to be exchanged before the meeting1 of the conference, in the expectation that the .spirit of friendship and a cordial appi*eciation of the im' r ance of the elimination of sources of controversy, will govern the final decision. 'Accordingly, in pursuance of the proposal which has been made, and in light of the graeius indication of its acceptance, the President invites the government of Great Britain to participate in a conference on the subject of Limitation of Armament, in onnection with which Pacific and Far Pastern questions will also be discussed. to be held in Washington on the 11th day of November, 1921. (Note: The date later was changed to November 12, so that the opening of the conference might not conflict with the ceremonies at the burial of the unknown soldier at Arlington on November 11.) Black Rock Most of the farmers are about hrouirh work. We have had ideal \v 'ather for gathering crops. Most of the people in this community have bout finished up. I think the next thing to do is to destroy the cotton stalks and get rid of as many boll weevils as possible. Th" Laymen Brotherhood, a band of Christian workers, came over to Black Rock yesterday (Sunday). Thej meeting was conducted by Dr. Carl B isbee. They g ive some interesting talks and testimonies. They certainly are doing a great work. I only wisn ere of the people of this community would come out and cooperate and "i ip carry on this good work. I am re all who attend will be benefited.

It is situated west of the President's Park, on llth street on the site of a residence af James Madison. Designed by Edward Pearce Casej of New York, the erection of the structure was undertaken by the ' Daughters in April, 1904, at a cos1 of $700,000. It is built of Vermont marble and in design and general appearance resembles the classical buildings erected during the American Revolutionary period. It is a fit fellow of its neighboring structures the Pan-American and Red Cross buildI ings. The front portico, the outei ! columns of which are adjacent to the sidewalk on 17th street, provides foi 1 a carriage drive and leaves the wisitoi at the entrance steps, where three ! bronze memorial doors give access Into the reception hall. I Within the entire building the note 1 of the Continental period is carried out with colonial decorations and furniture, and many excellent "pieces" oi mahogany bring forth thoughts oi the cherished heirlooms in grandfathers' houses. Many of the rooms and portions of the building are the gifts of or were furnished by individual chapters of the National society. For example, the spacious entrance hall is the gift of the Pennsylvania chapters. In nitches, forming the frieze, are marble statues of Revolutionary heroes from several states. A north and south staircases, both memorial eifts. lead above to the eal leries and committee rooms. Opening directly from the vestibule is the auditorium, which with its three galleries, has a seating capacity of two thousand people. For the arms conference, however, the seats on the ground floor have been removed and the floor raised to the level of the platform on the west side of the hall. Here will be set up the "U" shaped council table, measuring over 100 feet around its three sides, where the delegates to the conference will sit. Visitors and representatives of the press will be seated in the gallery. The auditorium is a beautiful inspiring room with cream-tinted walls, decorated with the garlands of fruits and foliage, and Stted with mahogany furnishings. High above is a roof of ground-glass, divided into ornamented squares. Each state of the union is represented by a flag hanging from the comace. Set into the east gallery railing is an illuminated clock bearing the arms of Maryland and the insignia of the society. In the galleries to the north and CHICHESTER S PILLS V7 ,?. 'I III'.

Palmetto Drug Co. j Program of Subjects To Be Considered Washington, Nov. 12.?While the armament conference will decide upon its program of subjects to be considered, here follows the official agenda, which previously has been suggested by the United States, and which will be ofTered as a working program on behalf of America, at the opening sessions : Limitation of Armament 1. Limitation or naval armament, under which shall be discussed: (a) Basis of limitation. (b) Extent. (c) Fulfillment. 2. Rules for control of new agencies of warfare. ' . 3. Limitation of land armament. Pacific and Far Eastern Questions 1. Questions relating to China. First: Principles to be applied. Second: Application. Subjects: (a) Territorial integrity. (b) Administrative integrity. (c) Open door?equality of com mercial industrial opportunity. (d) Concessions, monopolies oi preferential economic privileges. (e) Development of railways, in eluding plans relating to Chinese Eastern Railway. (f) Preferential railroad rates. (g) Status of existing commit ments. 2. Siberia. * (similar headings) 3. Mandated islands. (unless question earlier settled) Electrical communications in th< Pacific. "Under the heading of 'Status o Existing Commitments' it is expecte< -hat opportunity will be afforded t consider and to reach an understand ing with respect to unsettled ques jions involving the nature and scop ,if commitments linrfer which claim jf rights may hereafter be asserted. The fact that the subject "Limita tion of Armaments" precedes the sub ject "Pacific and Far Eastern Ques ;ions" does not necessarily indicat .hat the two will be taken up in tha order. The conference itself will de cermine the order In which the dis cussions are to be pursued, and ther may even be additions to the prograr as the conference gets under way. President Harding, in his invitatioi to the foreign-governments, however gave the impression, in the opinion o many observers, that Pacific and fa eastern questions must be disposed o first, when he said: "It is quite clear that there can b< no final assurance of the peace of th< world in the absence of the desire fo; peace, and the prospect for reduce* armaments, is not a hopeful one un less this desire finds expression ii practical effort to remove cause: of misunderstanding and to seel ground for agreement as to princi pies and their application." It is quite possible, however, tha although the Pacific and Far Easterr questions, may be the first to be dis posed of, that the actual question ol imitation of armaments may actually first come before the conference, anc in this way. Any determinations on limitations of armAment necessarily will com* after long preliminary work by com mittees of experts and others who wil probably submit recommendations ant extensive data to the whole confer ence. This will require probably weeks of study and discussion. In order tc start the process, and get it undei way, the conference might necessarily bring the subject officially before it, and then refer it t$> committees foi work, and then meanwhile go on with the discussion of the Far Eastern and Pacific questions. r#??t pasviuc i m VA ?k A TV/U MA VU Use <?oYEJ LIVE STOCK REMEDIES SoU by Druggists and Dealers f Far iwry day la tha weak. 1 I Far avary raam.
