"Billy" Sunday preached in the First Baptist church here this morning at 10 o'clock, as had been announced. The doors of the church were thrown open at 9:30 o'clock and in a few minutes was about filled. Before Mr. Sunday's arrival at 10 o'clock promptly, there was no more seating room and no more standing room. There were many who could not get * inside the building. Mr. Sunday did not disappoint the expectations of his hearers. For considerably more than an hour, speaking like a rapid fire gun, he delivered his message. His subject was "The Christian's Hope,-" and his presentation of the subject moved many to tears, interspersed with laughter. Not fame, not wealth, not honor, not pleasure, but Christ brought an enduring hope to the human heart. All else mils, tins will not fail. Mr. Sunday quoted poetry, gave illustrations from history and told of many incidents in his own life and experience that illustrated the theme he had chosen to present. Mr. Sunday is a dynamo, heavily charged. He has great spiritual magnetism. He has read much, traveled much. He instructs and entertains. Best of all, he preaches the old and tried fundamentals of the Christian religion. At the close of the sermon a liberal collection was taken for Mr. Sunday's Bible Conference expense. One marked effect of the meeting today was the "good taste" left in the minds of all. The handshaking and expressions of pleasure were much in evidence. PRISONERS GET HEARING TODAY ? Aiken, Jan. 19.?The day before the > preliminary hearing for the alleged forgers, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Padgett, J. C. Westberry and Melton Lyles, tifi cation hda been made by an official of an additional bank which suffered by swindling. Today a Mrs. Bray, teller of the Peoples' National Bank of Athens, Ga., arrived in Aiken and immediately identified Lyles as the man who on December 31, she alleges, cashed a check which later proved to have been forged. The young woman was very positive that Lyles was the man and expressed her willingness to appear on the stand against him. Police Chief S. G. Busby of Aiken said today he had received a long distance telephone message from Gastonia, N. C., asking for a complete description of all four of the alleged forgers and swindlers. The message describing the four will be sent in the morning by Sheriff H. H. Howard. The preliminary hearing for the alleged forgers and swindlers is set for 10 o'clock in the morning and will be held in the magistrate's room of the Aiken county court house. Witnesses from Hephzibah, Augusta and Chattanooga are expected by the defense and those bankers who have identified the prisoners as well as many citizens of Aiken are expected. There have been identifications from LaGrange, Ga., Newberry, Aiken, Athens, Ga., Griffin, Ga., and three officials of banks in Aiken identified the accused. Pope Benedict in Dying Condition Home, Jan. 20.?At 12:30 o'clock today it is stated that Pope Benedict u in a dying condition. The inflammation which has been confined to the bronchial tubes has extended to the right lung. The Pontiff's respiration is reported early today as most difficult. The condition which yesterday was described as not alarming took a turn for the worse during the night. Extra editions of the newspapers offered little hope and the great crowds began to gather at St. Paul's to wait news from the Vatican. At 7 o'clock the Pope received the holy communion. The Eucharist was solemnly carried to the Pope at 11:30 and in the presence of 18 cardinals the holy sacrament was placed in Palatine Chapel. The pope's condition became grave about 11 o'clock today and oxygen was aaminisiereu. i"raycr? were uifered in all Catholic institutions in Rome. When he asked for the last sacrament the attendants sought to dissuade him but he insisted on receiv. ing it "if only for a good example." The sudden change came about four o'clock and said it had been especially due to catarrh which had spread to both lungs and to pulmonary inflammation. Rome, 5:10 P. M., Jan. 20.?The condition of Pope Benedict remains stationery it was stated at the Vatican late today. Camphor injections are being frequently resorted to. The Pope recognizes those around him. POINCAIRE GIHES GERMANY NOTICE Paris, Jan. 19.?Raymond Poincaro president of the republic during the war and new premier of France with the French chamber practically unanimously behind him, served notice on Germany today that so long as he held office in conducting the destinies of his country Germany must fulfill the obligations she entered upon at Versailles and may expect no leniency. "The Versailles treaty binds us to our allies," he said, "but it binds Germany to us all. It must be carried out." These were his final words before leaving the tribune after replying to various interpellations. His pronouncement summed up the whole program. Never since the Germans threatened Chateau Thierry, when Clemenceau appeared before the chamber to tell France that the war was not yet lost, and there was still hope of victory, has a French premier received such an ovation as greeted M. Poincare today, when he presented before the deputies the ministerial declaration. He pleaded for national union, and, except for the Socialists and Communists, who automatically oppose any and all French governments, the French parliament was as solid behind if o rr/MroKTi w f U'n ? ?- -- !* ? ? ftV'tiuiiivia Ull? t'VCIIUlK \\ 11L 11 the Germans crossed the frontier in 1914. Alert and active, all the pent-up and suppressed energy stored up during seven passive years in Elysee palace radiating from his physically small frame, M. Poincare instilled into the chamber the spirit which has been lacking since Clemenceau's departure. Germany must honor her signature at Versailles, declared the premier, not only with respect to reparations, which was a matter of "life or death to France," but also disarmament and punishment of the war criminals. The premier openly declared that should Germany fail to carry out either of the two undertakings it would be considered as a violation of the Versailles treaty, giving France complete freedom of action. He advocated the virtual elimination of the supreme council, with reversion to former diplomatic channels in dealing* belwsn nations, with the supreme council "called upon from time to time to confirm agreements, rather than to negotiate them." This was another radical departure from France's foreign policy. That part of M. Poincare's declaration dealing with reparations received the almost unanimous approval of the chamber, while some uneasiness was noticeable when he reached the questions of disarmament and the war criminals. Hoots, howls and insults came from the Communists and there muni cVirmta f nr tVin spnnfnrinl Viicll court to try him on the charge of being responsible for the war. Trial of Rast May be Delayed Orangeburg, Jan. 19.?The case against Claude J. Rast on a charge of attempted criminal assault upon a girl student while he was principal of East Middle school will probably not be tried at this term of court. The case was set for triad today, but as the case had not been called up to the adjournment hour this afternoon, there is strong probability that the case will not be tried this term, as it will take more than two days to complete. The court will not be in session next week. The court is now engaged in the trial of two negresses and a negro man on a charge of murder of an infant. This negro baby was found dead in a well on Oak street, this city, which is a negro district. The doctor testified that from an autopsy, he found that the child had been thrown in the well alive. Mack Wilson, negro, charged with attempted criminal assault upon the wifo of a urhito fnrmor nonr Ornncp burg, on December 1G, will be tried tomorrow. Motored to Union The Billy Sunday party came to Union this morning through the coun try as the guests of Dr. and Mrs. B. B. Steedley. They enjoyed the trip in spite of the inclement weather and arrived on schedule time. 1 Holcomb-McCrackin Miss Annie Holcomb of Kellyg and Mr. D. R. McCrackin of Santuc, this county, ttere quietly married at the home of Rev. D. L. Wagnon, the officiating minister in the city of Union, on Thursday evening, January 19th, 1922.

FIRING SQUAD SLAYS S0LD1EI Washington, Jan. 19.?George Was ington Yarborough, a high scho teacher of Roanoke, Ala., and rat* as the welterweight champion of tl American expeditionary forces, told senate investigating committee todi thnt he had witnessed the shooting < j American soldiers by a firing squi near the Chateau Thierry region i July, 1918. Regarded by the committee a? prol ably the most clear-headed of all tl former service men testifying coi cerning the alleged hanging of so diers without trial, Yarborough, hin self a reluctant witness, declared tl sight of the man being led to h death, with hands tied behind h back, made him forget for the momer the screeching of enemy shells fly in overhead. The witness said he wt close enough when the officer con manding the squad gave the order 1 fire to hear the soldier, barely 20 yeai old, plead to be permitted to die wit his eyes unbound. Members of the committee and Co Walter A. Bethel, assistant judge at vocate general of the army, listene closely to the recital, for evidenc from war department sources herett fore presented failed to show whei men had met death in that way. Yai borough was pressed by Colonel Betl el, who declared the witness was c> treniely intelligent and that he wb not attempting to break down hi story, but seeking to obtain some dat which might enable him to check u on the shooting. The witness explaine that he could give the names of non of the men with him at the time bt cause they were not attached to hi outfit. There had been camp reports, th witness said, that the soldier was sho for neglect of duty in battle. Askl by Chairman Brandegee if the shool ing led him to believe there had bee abuse of power, Yarborough replie "None whatever," as he assume that the officer handling the squa was carrying out orders. But h thought then and now, he added, tha if the army had detailed a squad t shoot a comrade It might have dc ^afied^angther squad to pick Uj^ th Muc^ testimony relating to allege abuse of enlisted men cropped ou tgain today, along with further rel erences to the conduct of "Hard Boil ed" Smith. Two former service me testified they had seen three publi executions at Is-Sur-Tille, at whic station war department records she only two men were hanged. The hearing was adjourned unt next Wednesday. County Musical on 27th The municipal entertainment that i being arranged by Mrs. W. T. Beat and Mr. C. M.

COAL INDUSTRY FACING STRIKE Washington, .Fan. 19.?Warning of an impending general strike in the country's coal industry was given today by Secretary Hoover, who declared that the public should know what to expect when the national agreements covering the wages and working conditions of miners expire April 1. "The stage," Mr. Hoover said, "appears to be set for a strike in the bituminous coal Ileitis about the last of March." '-r Mr. Hoover did not indicate what the government's plans for meeting such an emergency were, but. said that there had been no conferences between I 1 ' ? ' - a 1 tvpicncuwuivfl ui uk* aciniuii.Mrai 1011 and the operators for about six weeks and no further discussions looking toward adjustment of controversies. While he did not discuss what the government's attitude might be in the event of a general coal strike, the impression was gained that the administration was regarding without undue alarm the approach of such a strike situation. As the time has approached for the conference of newwage scales and working contracts between miners and employers in the union fields, negotiations have been set on foot between the mine workers and the employers, with Mr. Hoover as the representative of the government taking a tentative part. Operators in the union fields, declaring that non-union coal producing territory has been taking an increasing proportion of the business, have announced their purpose of reducing wages when the contract expires while John J. Lewis, as president of the United Mine Workers of America, has in speeches before union gatherings and statements asserted that the men would accept no reductions but would seek increases. Wage negotiations in the bituminous industry have begun between an organization of operators in what is known as the central competitive field, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and the union. The agreement reached in this area has been the basis of similar agreements in all the union outlying distions this year in association with other sections of the central field, on the ground that^the West Virginia wage scales, chiefly non-union, were the chief competitive factor. Secretary Iloovei^.ome weeks ago induced the opera(?rs to meet with President I^ewis and submitted a proposition that the entire question be submitted to arbitration. This the union representatives refused on the ground tnat tnc constitution ot their organization forbade the submission of the question to outside arbitration in advance of direct negotiations with the employers. This position has remained unchanged, although Mr. Lewis was called to Washington last week for a conference with Secretary oover. Gift to Library at Furman Greenville, Jan. 19.?The library of Furman University hsffc been presented with an exquisitely wrought volume of "Le Opere di Dante," by the Italians of the United States of America, on the initiative of Luigi Carnovale, of Chicago, in commemoration of the six hundredth anniversary of the death of Dante, September 14, 1921.
