farm loan board, to which he
wns yesterday appointed by President

by the senate and the ar- 1
ranging o? my personal affairs," the
chief executive said. He named June 1

By Hugh W. Roberts.
Washington, May 11.?The president
today nominated Robert A. '
Cooper, governor of South Carolina,
to be a member of the federal farm ;
loan bank. 1
Governor Cooper, who conferred
with the president yesterday, stated, 1
before returning to South Carolina. ]
that if he received the appointment 1
he would tender liis resigntaion as
governor and enter upon his duties ir.
Washington as soon as he was con- '
firmed by the senate.
Governor Cooper will succeed for- 1
mer Representative A. F. Lever, who 5
lesignea some weeks ago to organize
a federal farm loan bank in Columbia.
The unexpired term will run *
two years, whereas the term of Governor
Cooper as governor would have
expired next January. It is said to
be reasonably certain that Governor
Cooper will be appointed for a full
term at the expiration of the unexpired
term. 1
The appointment of Governor
Cooper came in the nature of a surprise,
as it was understood that the
president had virtually promised the
place to Richard S. Whaley, former 1
member of congress from South Caro- 1
lina, with whom he frequently plays 3
golf. It is understood that when Sen- 1
a tor N. R. Dial of South P.amlinn fmn 4
weeks ago suggested the name of Gov- 1
ernor Qpoper to the president he was
left under the impression that the *
place had been promised Mr. Whaley.
place, but that If Mt. Whaley were \
not named, he would like for him to
consider Governor Cooper. 1
The president was delighted with i
Governor Cooper yesterday. He had i
the advantage of Mr. Whaley in that 1
he was represented as a "dirt" farmer
familiar with farmers and banking,
as well as financing institutions and
states. In the afternoon he attended
the local tennis tournament with the i
president. I
Senator Dial expressed himself to- 1
day as delighted with the Cooper ap- j
pointment. He characterised Governor a
Cooper as a man of the highest type 1
who would render the country excellent
service on the farm loan board.
He was congratulated by his senatorial
colleagues as having "put
over" his friend in the face of what i
in the beginning appeared to be in- a
surmountable obstacles. There is no 1
doubt respecting the confirmation of t
the nomination by the senate, at which
time Lieut. Gov. Wilson G. Harvey
will become governor of South Carolina.
Play Greatly Enjoyed j
i
The entertainment which was given ?
at the high school auditorium last 1
night by Mrs. Charles Counts and 1
her pupils was a great success and
thoroughly enjoyed by all.
As the curtain rose, Mrs. Counts
appeared as a blackface comedian and
gave a lecture on "Woman's Right." <
This waB followed by a lecture on j
"Man" by Prof. Goof (Thelma l
. Hodge). School was then called to t
order and the poems, local hits and
unexpected arrival of Tony, the school r
directors and Mrs. Mumps, afforded a
great deal of amusement
Mrs. Counts, as September Night,
the janitor, was, as usual, very clever
and kept the crowd laughing from be- *
ginning to end. '
This play is to be repeated next *
Monday night at Buffalo for the ben- !
efit of the Eastern Star chapter.
Having met with such success, Mrs.
Counts has been asked to produce this 1
play at Ottaray on Tuesday night for 1
the benefit of the Mothers' club.

CONFERENCE HAY i
BE CONTINUED
Genoa, May 11 (By the Associated
Press).?Russia's reply to the allied (
memorandum, which was presented to- i
day to Signor Schanzer, president of i
the economic conference, is generally i
regarded as conciliatory. At least it <
is considered basis for further nego- (
tiations. I
Its suggestion that all the tangled 1
financial problems be submitted to a
mixed committee of experts named j
by the Genoa conference provided a ?
means of escape from the present \
superheated atmosphere which ap- y
pears to be unfavorable for the set- <
tlement of myriad questions arising j
from the Russian situation. i
England regards the reply as mod- i
erately conciliatory, so also does i
Italy. The Italian foreign minister i
has been working day and night to t
prevent a break which seemed immi- P
nent through the opposition of f
France and Belgium to the settlement f
of the property question which Great \
Britain and the lesser powers will ap- c
prove. (
France expresses great disappoint- x
ment at the reply and Belgium is far j
from satisfied. i
M. Barthou, head of the French \
delegation, declared after an exami- j
nation of the text that the reply did ^
not get anywhere and was not really (
an answer at all to the allied pro- r
posals. Consequently it will not be a
certain until after he has conferred
with the government in Paris whether ,
the Russian nmnnsnls will Ko .
,
by the French as a basis for contin- t
uance of the discussion. ^
In the meantime the future of a
the conference is highly uncertain, j
Some of the delegations believe that a
it will close precipitately or perhaps
it would be truer to say that they {
hope it will. Other delegations pre- a
diet that it will last six weeks long- t
er and go into the Russian financial ?
tangle in great detail. The latter
seem to be in the majority and indi- ?
cations tonight are that the confer- c
ence may be prolonged indefinitely. T

Jl' matter of considerable interest

operation yesterday.
S^/e% hundred and fifty pounds of

v, -Chester county. The 760 pounds of
cream tested 202% pounds of butter

^ the farmers for the cream brought in
118 on the opening day.
The success of the Chester Coma
munity Creamery depends also entire,v~
ly upon the support given to it by the
re~ people who own cows throughout this
??' section. The creamery will operate at
Jly a profit if it is supplied with enough
>es cream and every person in the county
who is in a position to furnish cream
should take the time and trouble to
vs< thoroughly go into the matter of sending
cream to the creamery. The op"11
eration of the creamery wiU mean a
considerable amount of money
iey throughout the entire year and will

No Flaws in Jack King's
Comedians Tent Show
There is a saying that "you cannot
down a good man," and so it may be
truly said that you cannot down
Freckles. At the tent show of Jack
King Comedians last night that was
most fully demonstrated. The Ku
Klux Klan was the play that was put
or. and there? was not a flaw in it
from first to last. The parts were
well taken and the audience held
spellbound and thrilled.
Jack King, as Lige, done up in cork
of course, was a real "comical cuss"
i.ll the way through and in spite of
the "brandy" he imbibed the big
words he used, he never for one moment
ceased to be really and truly
mirth provoking. Then again the
stage effects were very good for tent
show work and produced telling results
upon the audience.
The comedy between the acts was
good and enjoyed by the crowd to the
limit.
Today will be the last one this
splendid company will be in Gainesville,
r.nd they have a fine program
laid out. In the afternoon there will
be a special matinee for the ladies
and children which will be put on at
the bargain price of 25 cents to all.
The drawing card will be that of the J
Rood old time play that is as nearly
immortal as things on earth ever get
to be. It is that old time and popular
drama, "Lena Rivers." Who
of the older set has not read and
wept as they read Mary J. Holmes'
famous book of the same title?

I There has been 23 professions in ai!

TUESDAY
H OF COLUMBIA MAN
Frank M. Jeffords, Ira Harrison and
Glenn Treece, self-confessed central
figures, according to officers, in the
slaying last Tuesday night of J. C.
Arnette, will go on trial on charges
of murder in the court of general sessions
in Columbia next Tuesday morning.
The three men, true bills having
been returned against them by the
grand jury yesterday morning, were
arraniged on the charge of murder
before Judge W. H. Townsend yesterday
afternoon, their pleas of "not
guilty" recorded, and the date of the
trial set. The case, under present
plans, will be called at 10 o'clock May
16, the trial of the three men being
begun therefore within six and a half
days after the crime was committed.
The three men were brought to the
court house at 51:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon ami at 3*42 o'clock were
placed in the dock and their handcuffs
removed. None of the men showed
any sign of emotion us the indictment
charging them with "wilfully
and maliciously and feloniously slay
ing Arnette vas read to them by
Clerk Hinnant. Their answers of
"not guilty" to the question, "Are you
guilty or not guilty?" and their responses
to the other usual questions
of the formal arraignment were barely
audible five feet away. John
Hughes Cooper, who was acting as attorney
for Ira Harrison, served as
counsel for the three men in the arraignment,
R. Beverly Herbert, attorney
for Glenn Treece, being absent
from the court, at the time. Frank
M. Jeffords, the third member of the
trio, told the court, thnt Vi.? Ku/1
engaged an attorney and James H.
Hammond was named by Judge Townsend
to conduct Jeffords' defense. At
Mr. Hammond's request John F.
Quinn was selected by the court to aid
Mr. Hammond in the case.
The three men were then handcuffed
again and placed in an automobile
with officers and carried back to the
state penitentiary, where they are being
confined since the city jail is now
being repaired and the county jail is
overcrowded. Over a score of city
and county officers were in the court
room and grouped around the three
men during the arraignment. There
was no sign of disturbance dn the - .[

The fact that the nwn were to be arraigned
yesterday afternoon had been
kept secrt by c fficrs, who recalled the
record breaking crowd which attended
the inquest, and with the fact known
to only a few persons there was only a
small crowd at the court house when
the men were brought there to make
their pleas.
Solicitor A. Fletcher Spigner presented
the indictment charging the
trio with the murder of Arnette a'
9:30 o'clock yesterday morning and at
10:37 o'clock the grand jury returned
true bills against the three men.
The arraignment of the three men
yesterday afternoon, approximately
40 hours after the commission of tin
crime, probably establishes a new reo
ord for speed in the Richland courts.
The grand jury brought in true bill
against the trio at 10:37 o'clock, les
than 35 hours after the crime had
been committed and hardly nor
than 30 hours after their arrest.
