EDUCATION WEEK j
IN WILLIAMSBURG
BIG RALLY SATURDAY WITH t
BARBECUE DINNER 1
SERVED. (
i s
The Williamsburg County Educa- j
> tional Association has been untiring ^
in its efforts to make Education s
Week a success in this county. Dur- t
ing the week there will be a meeting c
in every neighborhood in the county (
$ at which several speakers from dif
ferent parts of the county will be!c
heard on subjects of educational in- d
terest. A bulletin has been sent out c
by the University of South Carolina e
which contains much striking infor- ri
mation about the status of South r
Carolina in the educational world, C
and this literature has been given the t
local speakers so that they may v
dissiminate the information therein v
contained to the patrons of schools F
in Williamsburg county in order that t
they may decide how they wish to in- a
struct their delegation to the legis- o
lature on the matter of schools and 1;
colleges in the state. b
Hand in hand with the education c
that comes from books is the knowl- a
edge that teaches us to keep our bod- ?
ies healthy, and one of the chief" "I
enemies of health in our country to- J
if nknr/*nlAeic TJiorofrtrP in flip d
speeches that have been made in the *
interests of education throughout this b
county, speakers have emphasized the b
impo tance of buying Christmas seals, d
the proceeds of the sale of which are o
the only source of income in the J
fight against tuberculosis. C
The coming event of the week,
however, will he the big County Rally a
L to be, held in Kingstree on Saturday, t
December 9th. This meeting has v
R been thoroughly advertised by the
- . ? .? . , a
n speajcing delegations tnat nave gone out
eachnight during the week, and
posters have been printed and scat- v
B .tered throughout inviting all those ?
who are interested in education to h
B come to Kingstree on Saturday to
hear the speeches by distinguished
|y guests and to partake of the barbe- v
V cue dinner which will be served free. 11
The exer&ses will be held in the 0
W school auditorium at eleven-thirty and
| at the conclusion all interested will ^
X* invibvl tn aH-onri harhpeup din- V
ner. Nothing need be said to insure 11
the success of the dinner than to an- n
nounce the fact that W. H. Welch, t
chairman of the Rally Day Committee,
has secured the consent of D. p
J. Epps to prepare and serve the bar- a
becue. There are not many inhabi- f
i tants of Willilamsburg county who 11
^ have not sampled the culinary efforts n
m of Mr. Epps and his sons, and every I"
one is assured of a treat when they M
are told that the barbecue will be Iv
in such experienced hands for the i1
dinner on rally day. To assist him "
V in the further preparations for the
p big day Mr. Welch has Mrs. E. T. 0
Kelley and Supt Swittenberg, in t.
charge of the program for the day,
and W. E. Nesmith, Donald M;ontgomery,
Ollie Epps, D. J. Epps, L.
S. Dennis and Thos. McCutchen.
A feature of the day will' be the *
awarding of a new Standard Inter- s
national Dictionary to the school in a
the county which exhibits the clever- 5
est banner or poster which tells of *
the greatest need of the school. All b
t the schools have been notified of the v
contest and it is anticipated that li
many clever designs will be shown. c
A speaking committee consisting *
of S. A.' Graham. Mrs. M. A. Ross,
Mrs. J. W. Swittenberg, Mrs. W. G. s
Gamble, and Dorald Montgomery has e
been working to fill the places in the t!
speaking appointments left vacant by a
those who for some reason could not s
fill their engagements.
An automobile committee consist- e
ing of F. W. Fairey, J. C. Kelley and I
tLeBoy Epps has been responsible for *
seeing to it that every speaking dele- *
gation that went out had a car at u
their disposal. c
Everything that could be done has e
been done to arouse the people of Wil- s
liamsburg county to tl\e crying needs *
of their children in the matter of &
education, and it is to be hoped that s
the voters have been awakened to E
the fact that it is their privilege toir
instruct their legislators to vote in ^
the' coming session of legislature for |
larger appropriations for education n
in South Carolina instead of cutting a
down the amount as they have been 0
doing in the past. We all know that!a
the tax system in South Carolina is 1
not perfect and we all hope thht it
will be so revised in the near future 1;
'90 that taxes will not fall so heavy on p

he wedding day of Miss Genevieve
A'ilcox and Mr. Thomas Chandler one
)f bright sunshine, beauty and gladiome
gayety. It was an ideal Thanks- j

itately oaks in the lawn in front of j
he "Hermitgage" the historic home j
if the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. I
?. A. Wilcox, of Murrel's Inlet.
In front of the home is a large
ircular lawn around which is a
Iriveway. The diameter of the cir-;
i
ular lawn is a walk-way. At one |
nd of the walk way stood the brides- j
naids and at the other the grooms-1
tien. At high noon, Miss Mildred i
'ollins of Conway, keeping time with ;
he rythmic strains of Lohengrins
redding march, advanced down the

TURKS REFUSE TO
RECOGNIZE ALLIES
BRITISH SOLDIERS ARMED WITH
MACHINE GJJNS PROTECT
REFUGEES.
Constantinople, Dec. 5.?Following
the action of the Kemalist police in
confiscating the passports of 100
Americans as they were about to j
board ship, British troops today took [
possession of the customs house and,'
armed with machine guns, protected 1
the embarkations of the refugees.
The Turkish police today prevented
the embarkation of refugees on a!
French steamship at Samsun, on the 1
Black Sea coast of Asia Minor, de- <
spite permission granted by the Ital- j
ian authorities there.
Kafel Pasha, the military gov-'
ernor, had a four hours' conference ?
with the Allied high commissioners!
and generals and a provisional agreement
was reached permitting the embarkation
of all presenting themselves
until this evening, but the
question of principle was not settled; ,
and further meetings have been arranged.
Refuses to Recoenize Allies.
Rafel Pasha takes the attitude that
the Allies are not in occupation of j
Constantinople, and refused to recognize
the right of the Allies to inter- '
fere between him and native Christians.
, The Turk's refusal to permit Greek '
vessels to embark additional Chris- '
tian refugees from Asia Minor has j
created keen disappointment in American
relief circles here. All prep- '
arations had been completed for the '
use of American destroyers in the 1
transfer of refugees.
Four large Greek vessels, under 1
the direction of A. K. Jennings, ar- '
rived yesterday from Piraeus ready ^
to ^proceed to the Black sea. Mr. 4
Jennings is the Y. M. C. A., secre- '
tyry, who earned the title "Admiral :
of the Refugee Fleet" at the time of 4
the Smyrna disaster by mobilizing '
a fleet of fifty ships and rescuing *
100,000 persons.
He had six additional ships ready I'
in Greek ports for his present task, 1
these, together with the four arriving
ijere, giving a total carrying
capacity of 50,000 persons.
Americans Surprised.
Refusal of the Angora govmept
to permit further embarkations
was received at Samsun by Com-,
mander Halsey Powell, of the American
destroyer Edsall, who forwarred
the news to Constantinople by wireless.
The Turks declare that not only
would they prohibit further departues
on Greek ships, but would
deport to the interior all Christians
who remained in the Black Sea
coastal towns after the next few days.
Officials at the American ambassy
jMrnnnAnf imnn f Kic Mil- ^
uctnucu w tviiiiiiciiv uyvn viuo x ui- ?
ing, but made no attempt to hide '
their surprise at the Kemalists' atti- \
tude. They explained they had asked
nothing more of the Nationalists
than their sanction for the use of .
American naval officers as inter- j
mediaries between the local officials (
in the' Biack Sea ports and the offir !
cers of the Greek refugee vessels. ;
The Turk's failure to meet the
American proposals raises doubts as
to the safety of 50,000 persons, who j
made their way to the sea with the
hope of leaving the country. It is ,
believed they will undoubtedly be ,
deported to the interior unless the J
Allies or the United States make '
representations to Agnora.

Spartanburg and Cotton.
"Spartanburg county is growing
more cotton this year than any other
county in South Carolina. It has
always been among the first three
cotton growing counties in the state,
but now takes first place. And there
is reason to believe it may continue
in that position, unless Anderson
county rights itself and forges
ahead. Spartanburg county is going
to continue to grow cotton because
it has small farms on which the owner
lives and directs personally the
operation of his farm. The hireling
fleeth before the boll weevil because
he is an hireling. And there you
are. This county will grow this
year a cotton crop worth $5,000,000."

iCIVIL COURT HELD
S HERE THIS WEEK '
;i
NUMBER OF CASES OF IMPORTANCE
HEARD AND DIS|i
POSED OF.
Tha December term of the civil
court convened here Monday morning
, with Judge DeVore of Edgefield pre- ,
A.. a. _ 1.1 _ ? ^
siuing. uwing to me presence ui a
mild epidemic of flu in the county
: several of the' jurors supoenaed for
the term were unable to report and
it was necessary for the jury commis,
I sioners to draw others after the court
had convened. The work of the
, tribunal was not retarded however
, and shortly after the hour of convening
the hearing of complaints was ,,?
gone into.
The first complaint to come before
the court was that of the Morris
Fertilizer Co. of Wilmington, N. C.,
against C. B. Guess, in an action to
recover for fertilizer sold to C. B.
Guess & Co. A jury found a verdict
in favor of the defendant. Attorneys:
J. D. O'Bryan for plaintiff, and A. C.
Hinds for defendant.
In the matter of T. P. Baker, plaintiff,
against the Home Fire Insurance
C.n oin't tn roanvar Iacc
by fire of ginnery at Cartersville.
Jury found in favor of plaintiff. Attorneys,
J.' H. Fowles of Columbia
and J. D. O'Bryan for the defendant,
P. H. Arrowsmith of Florence, and
A. C. Hinds for the plaintiff.
In the matter of Dr. A. G. Eaddy
against the Atlantic Coast Lumber
Corporation for damages ih the sum
of $15,000.00, actual and punative, a
jury found in favor of the plaintiff
to the amount of $900.00. Dr. Eaddy
was represented by N. N. Newell
of Monks Corner, while the interests '
of the defendant corporation was look- /
ed after by Attorney A. C. Hinds.
At 1 p. m., Tuesday the court ad- journed
until 9 o'clock Wednesday
morning. . /
The attention of the court during
the entire day yesterday was taken
up in the hearing of the counter suit
between the Gordon Drying Machine
Co., of Providence, R. I., and the Independent
Redrying Tobacco Co., of
Kingstree. The local company was
represented by Attorneys H. E. Davis
of the Florence bar and J. D. O'Bryan,
while the Rhode Island company was
ably represented by Attorneys Simeon
Hyde of Charleston and LeRoy Lee.
Both sides were ably represented, and
unusually strong arguments were
made before the jury in the respective
cases. The Rhode Island company, as
is shown by its claim, is suing the local
concern for something over $9,000.00
as balance due on a redrying
machine. The local concern's counter
claim is based upoiyalleged damages
incurred by the non-delivery and installation
of the machine according
to agreement and in time to properly
handle its tobacco in 1920. The lo? ?!
enmnanv alleges damatres and un- - '
necessary costs amounting to about
$22,000.00. This case is with the
jufy this morning.
There are, several cases yet to come
up for trial before adjournment.

Grand Jury Fails to Take Action in
Hall- Mills Case. ' *
_______ _ \ \
The grand jury investigating the
Hall-Mills murder case at Somerville, ...
N. J., last week took no action looking
toward an indictment, and laid
the matter over. 4
This announcement was ma^e by
Special Deputy Attorney General
Mott shortly after the jurors adjourned
on Tuesday.
Foreman Gibbs, of the grand jury
made this statement:
"For reasons which seem to have
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, who was
grand jury took no action in the
Hall-Mills murder case and laid the ''
matter over. This does not mean
necessarily that the matter can not
be taken up again by this or a subsequent
grand jury.*
Mrs. Frances Noel Hall, widow of
Rev. Edward wheelr Hall, who was
slain with Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, was
seated outside the jury room after
having been refused permission to
appear before the grand jury. She
received the announcement with a
countenance that was absolutely unmoved.
With her was seated her
confidante, Miss Sallie Peters and
her lawyer, Timothy N. Pfeiffer, of
New York. Mrs. Hail refused to
make any statement and left the
court house closely guarded by her
party.
