Washington, September 2b:?The Navy League today filed its reply to Henry Ford in the libel suit which it has brought against him. Thereply asserts that the advertisements which Mr Ford caused to be inserted in various newspapers were "defamatory and false dn statements of fact and accordingly were not privileged." Mr Ford contended that the statements were privileged because they 7 had first been uttered by a representative in Congress. The Navy League makes the point that Mr Ford's answer does not assert the truth of the statement complained of. . The league charges that as a result of Mr Ford's advertisements ten million copies of Congressman Tavenner's speech, reflecting on the league were franked through the mail at a cost of $100,000 to the government. With the regular army and the National Guard on the border protecting us from the raids of a horde of bloodthirsty bandits we cannot refrain from remarking that this is a mighty inopportune time for capital and labor to come to grips. Patriotism and common sense should prevail until we are free from the danger that menaces us from below. NOTICE!

Chamber of Commerce Organlzlzed?Many Newcomers. Johnsonville,September 23:?At a general get together meeting called for the citizens of this place Thursday evening nearly every man in town was present. After several very stirring and enthusiastic ad, dresses by representative men it was unanimously decided to form a ! Chamber of Commerce. Every man : signified his desire to join and to J give his best efforts toward the genleral upbuilding of the town and community, and with the hearty cooperation of such a live and enthusiastic body of men behind the work there is a great future for progressive Johnsonville. Of the Chamber of Commerce, E | F Prosser was unanimously elected president, S R Cockfield secretary and treasurer and S B Poston, E L Powell and J W Grooms on the executive committee to act with the president and secretary in getting up by laws, fixing dues and arranging committees, to report at another meeting in a few days. While the cotton crop is very short,considerable quantities are being marketed here at over 15 cents and business generally seems good. A number of new families have recently moved to town and dwelling houses are in strong demand, greater in fact than can be supplied at once. C T Powell of Poston has recently asociated himself with the Johnsonville Hardware company and will move his family here as soon as he can secure a dwelling. Mr Powell has taken over the management of this company. CEDAK SWAMP JOTTINGS. Dellgbtlul Weather?Wedding In Prospect?Personal Notes. Cedar Swamp, September 26:? "The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year.of wailing winds and naked woods, meadows brown and sear." However true the thought, we are blessed at present with the most beautiful days, especially propitious for harvesting, and the nights following are delightful, with cool, pure and gentle zephyrs invigorating and refreshing while we sleep. Miss Alice Chandler, an accomplished teacher in Union high school, her sister Maybel, Miss Catharine Varner and Messrs Preston Eaddy and William Chandler of Henry motored into our section and spent a short while Sunday afternoon. Mr Marvin McCullough is making suspicious trips to Greenwood, and while at home he is very busy sawing lumber to erect a handsome little cottage. For some time past we have been hearing the distant sound of wedding bells, but of late the chimes are more distinct, and we can safely say ere this is seen in print that "Cupid's curious capers" will culminate in a conjugal conjunction at the home of a near neighbor. WES. Columbians by a vote of four to one Tuesday refused to recall the commission form of government. The vote was 1,099 to 258. The op ponent8 to tne system aia not carry a single ward in the city.

The teachers of the Kingstree school were entertained at a reception given in their honor at the school auditorium last Friday afternoon by the ladies of the town. A delightful programme consisting of music,recitation and social discourse was enjoyed by the guests and the large number of ladies who acted as hostesses. During the intercourse punch and cake were served oy a quartet of the high school girls. Queer, isn't it, how when the wife goes away for a week there's so many less things to do for amusement than there were in the bachelor days? How to Give Good Advice.

Earles, September 25:?As I have not seen anything from Earles for some time, I thought I would give you a few dots. The farmers are about through gathering cotton. They are getting ! from one to two bales where"they ! expected to get from ten to twelve.! Corn is cut short about one-half and vpry little hay will be made, it being drowned out by the flood. Hard times do not prevent marriages from taking place. Miss Ida McCants and Mr Kelly Altman were married a few days ago, and from reports there will be several more in j the near future. The Earles school will open its doors for the 1916-17 term October , 9, with Misses Floride McCelvey, Lorraine Lathan and Katie Wingate as teachers; Misses McCelvey and Lathan are no strangers in this community, as this is their third term here. It is Miss Wingate'sfirst term. The school commenced six years ago with an enrollment of 45, and this year it will open with an enrollment of about 150. We need more teachers but are without funds to supply them on account of the small territory. The teachers have done excellent work notwithstanding the crowded condition of the school. Mr G W Camlin has returned home after being away five weeks in an infirmary at Buffalo, N Y. He is much improved in health and says that it is the place for the sick to get well. Several farmers have come into this vicinity from Ohio and are buying up lands; they are going to show the people of this community what a farmer can do on the lands we have in old Williamsburg county.

The Quarter Million Workmen Failed to Quit Work Yesterday. ; New York, September 27:?Although labor leaders insisted tonight that the general strike of: trades unionists in the greater city j in aid of carmen who quit their places September 6, eventually would in- j volve at least a half million workers, ' there were no surface indications of1 a tie-up of the city's industries, as threatened, after announcement was made today that the strike had be gun. While union leaders claimed that 125,000 workers in various trades already had joined the movement, with twice as many more ready to "walk out" tomorrow, the police said they had received no reports to substantiate any such estimates. The actual situation, it was said, was confused because of Jewish holidays, which are being: celebrated here by more than 100,000 union workers. Kills Wife, Surrenders.
