% FACT TWO 70,000 WORDS IN ' THE PEACE TREATY Document to Be Laid Before Germans Makes a Formidable Volume EXPERTS FITTING PARTS TOGETHER Draftinj Work Is Now Only Mechanical as Text Has Been Approved. Paris.?The drafting of the final form of the peace treaty is proceeding rapidly in order to have it ready for presentation to the German delegates when they arrive at Versailles a week hence. The document, as framed, begins with an introduction in the form of a protocol, setting forth the complete list of belligerent powers taking part in the war and now making peace, with the designation of plenipotentiaries of each country and with theii power to sign. Then comees a declaration of impressive brevity, not exceeding thirty words, stating that on the conclusion of the treaty and the exchange of ratifications, the war shall come to an end. Following upon the declaration of peace the present intention of the peace delegates- is to have the covenant of the League of Nations occupy the place of honor in the treaty and to be the first subject orated in detail. It will thus take the priority i?" had in the program of the peace conference. Then, in succession, will follow the military, naval and aerial terms, reparations, responsibilities, the Rhine frontier, the Sarre region, AlsaceLorraine, Poland, the status of Dan sdg as an international port. Germany's Schleswig-Holstein frontier and a largo number of special subjects, including the labor convention adopted at the last plenary session of the conference, international ports ^ and waterways, and extended economic and financial provisions not directly connected with reparations. The texual form of all these sub-divisions has been completed, so that the work at present going on is chiefly fitting together the parts into a homogeneous whole. This is being done by international experts representing the five great powers. Their work is largely formal, as the council of four and the commissions have adopted the language of the various parts now being fitted together. It is estimated that the treaty as a whole will exceed seventy thousand 1 words, or the contents of a large, closely written volume. The text is being prepared in French and English, and, as a means of expediting action, a German text may be prepared, tkoQfh it is foreseen that the German plenipotentiaries may ask for a considerable time to peruse a document of such magnitude. o corr summons for relief, I mm < Complaint Not Served).

He turned them on a field of corn and velvet be ans out of which the com had been harvested, and on the second day the some cows yielded twenty gallons of milk. Mr. J. R.

Berlin.?Semi-official French announcements of the conditions to bo laid down in the treaty of peace are denounced by the German press. Prince lachnowsky, in an article in the Tageblatt declares France "forgets that, instead of leading to disaimament, an unjustly extorted peace will bring forth only fresh armaments, throwing into the shade all I former armaments, because a mailed fist peace e$n be maintained only jby the nrfcdled fiat." Declaring that a peace of violence nnist bo absolutely rejected, he concludes: "Nobody can recompense the war against us. Neither can we be starved out, without the common enemy, communism and terrorism, throwing all mankind back into its primitive state." "No German government can sign such terms," the Vorwaerts declares. "The entente statesmen must themselves settle with the inhabitants of the Saar valley, who are thoroughly German and they may find that the sums proposed as indemnity can not be extracted, even if the last sheet is taken from our beds." The Lokal Anzeiger says: "No more shameless mockery of President Wilson's 'fourteen points' can tx.-w . i 1.1 n * u*.- imagined man me proposed solution of the eastern question." "The solution of the Saar question which is proposed means the covering of naked annexation with a fig leaf," says the Bocrsen Courier.

The supplies w?ll be brought from the army depots m France and sold to German Government officials in the district at cost te the army plus transportation charges. The plan of immediate distribution through army channels was decided upon because of numerous reports throughout the zone of occupation that civilians are in need and because of the delay of the Interallied Military Mission at Cologne in reaching a decision as to the best method of distribution for all the occupied areas.

ADVISING FARMERS TO HOLD COTTON l\io Time to Let Go With Situation So Well in Hand. A statement was issued last, week by the South Carolina Cotton Association urging the farmers not to sell their cotton at present prices and declaring that although there had been a marked advance in the price, it was still selling far below the price ; it will bring. The statement follows: "The South Carolina Cotton Association wishes to urge the farmers not to sell their cotton at this time even though there has been a marked advance during the past ten days. This advance is very largely due to the realization in New York that the cotton farmers are really going to; reduce their acreage. When the crops is planted and it is seen that the acreage has actually been reduced 33 1-3 per cent, the price is going to go very much higher. "Prices prevailing today, especially for off grades, mean that any man who sells his cotton at prevailing prices is shouldering upon himself a tremendous loss.

The infantry suffered more than rtwice the casualties in proportion to numbers of any other branch of the army. The American embassy in Paris denies reports that important railway concessions in Russia have been obtained by Americans. t _ There was an unusual scene in the house of commons last week. During discussion of a labor motion on pe nsions two women in the strangers' gallery began shouting: "You are irurderers. You have not settled the last war. You are leading the people and workers to another war." I Unfavorable weather conditions again held up the attempt of Harry G. Hawker, Australian aviator to make the first flight across the Atlantic and gave his rival, Capt. Frederick P. Raynham, the British flyer, virtually an even chance to "hop off" at the same time. Now that the Germans have been called to Versailles on April 25, the indications are that the proceedings may move with such despatch that President Wilson can remain for the signing of the treaty, and thus be ttbie to take back the completed document. o COPY SUMMONS FOR RELIEF.

Cotton is today selling far below the price it will I bring when the world realizes what' the true conditions are in the cotton belt and the actual reduction in acreage. "The big cotton marketing corporation with a capital stock of $100,000,000 or $200,000,000, now in the process of formation, will have a very stimulating effect on the price , and w'\ remove from the market some of thg speculators who have grown impendent off the poor farmer. . i "A New York paper says it is generally believed in New York that with the advance in* price of cotton the talk of acreage reduction will cease. Wc do not believe the fanner is going to be so easily fooled this time. He can reason for himself that if it should be; true that the advance in price has been merely for the purpose of preventing acreage reduction, that the price would go down as soon as the crop was planted. 'The association would warn the farmers to remember the warning of Gvoemor Manning that a full crop means eight and ten cents a pound for your staple." if TRY IT!

S300,000 TOROAOS FROM CAR LICENSES The State highway commission announced that the total collections from automobile license fees for 1919 up to April 1st amounted to $." 00,656.75. Of this amount fourfifths, or $240,525.40, will be returned to the counties in which the license fees were paid and the remaining one-fifth will be used by the vuiiuiusKiun in paying lor road and bridge surveys requested by the counties. In 1918 the collections from autoir.obile license fees to April 1st $244,390.50 from which amount 1I counties received $195,512.40. counties will rccievc this year $45|^^ 013 more from motor vehicle license 1 f? es than they received last year up to the same date. The act approved February 20, 1017, creating the State highway commission sfnd laying a special license tax on motor vehicles, contains a provision making it mandatory upon the county authorities to use the receipts from the counties' shares of the automobile license fees cn maintaining roads and bridges or constructing roads and bridges. It appears from reports received last year that receipts from automobile license fees were turned into the general county fund bv somp eountv - " authorities instead of being used on the roads and bridges as required by law. 1 The State highway commission issued licenses to 51,077 motor vehicles (including automobiles, tiucke and motorcycles) up tMApril 1, 1919, while up to the nanflF date in 1918 only 41,766 motor vehicles iwere licensed. | > I TRESPASS NOTICE. | 'AH persons arc hereby forbidden to enter or trespass Upon my lands in Floyds Township, bounded by lands of Charley Shelley, P.
