Sumter Has a Wide Awake Organiza tiota That is Doing Good Work. Sumter has a very enthusiastic and wide awake organization of Camp Fire Girls, and a very patriotic one also. Early in the year, Dr. S. H. Ed munds, superintendent of the city schools, gave the keeping of the flag on the high school grounds into the hands of the Camp Fire Girls. The Wahwahtaysee Fire accepted the privilege of caring for it first. Two members of this Fire, Elizabeth Trues- j dale and Amanda McLeod, were ap pointed keepers. These little girls nave been remarkably faithful, and, since they accepted the responsibility of taking care of the flag, they have taken pride in the fact that early morning has always found Old Glory flying at full mast and dusk of even ing found it safely put away and that never once has its folds been allowed to drag in the dust. The latest manifestation of patriot ism on the part of the Camp Fire Girls has been their liberal contribu tion to the United ? War Work Cam paign. The total amount subscribed by them was $115.75. This sum is unique in two particulars: (1) It represents generous giving on the part of the Camp Fire Girls because of the limited membership of the or ganization and (2) It represents real patriotism on the part of the mem bers for every girl contributed to the fund, thereby showing that as indi viduals and as a group of Camp Fire Girls were eager to send cheer to the . boys over there and unwilling to be i deprived of having a share in this 1 great work. About one half of this sum was given through the Junior Red Cross. Death. Mrs. Mary E. Muldrow died Sun- j day at her home near Mayesville, . aged eighty-six years.

Berlin, Nov. 20, Via Amsterdam, Saturday, Nov. 23 (By the Associated (Press).?The left wing of the Social Democrats and the ultra radicals to day launched their anticipated fight on the national assembly during the course, of a largely attended meeting of the workmen's council for great er Berlin called by the executive board of the soldiers' and workmen's council. It w?s presided over by Hermann Molkenbuhr and Her Muel ler, joint bi-partisanship chairmen of the body which considers itself the highest authority in the present gov ernment and incidentally claims the right to disband the cabinet if the lat ter refuses to carry out its policy. Herr Mueller, who is the inde pendents* representative in the com mittee chairmanship, asserted at the meeting that an attempt to convent the national 'assembly is a plain en deavor to givetthe bourgeois control of the new democracy. He demanded a socialistic republic and added: "A national assembly would be our death warrant. The path to it can only lead over my dead body."

GERMANY PAY BIG INDEMNITIES j iPremier Clemenceau Will Visit England to Dis cuss the Peace Terms. ! Some of the Chief Points Remaining to Be Settled Are Economic I. Problems, Freedom of the S ?as and Idemnity to Be Paid ] By Germany. Paris. Nov. 23.?(By the Associat ed Press.)?Premier Clemenceau's in tended visit to London early in De cember doubtlessly will give him an opportunity to 'discuss a number of the more important issues to come before the inter-allied conference and the peace congress with Premier j Lloyd George. A. J. Balfour, the Brit ! ish foreign secretary, and other Brit ; ish leaders who are detained by the j election campaign in England. I Announcement of the premiers in { tention to go to England follows the j visit to Paris of Paul Cambon, French ambassador to Great Britain, who believed to have acquainted the au thorities here with the prevailing British sentiment on the main points* under discussion. While there has been no authori tative announcement, it is understood that a considerable advance has been made in discussing preliminary de tails and that a very thorough exam ! ination is now going on concerning all questions likely to come before tin j conference and the congress, partic- j ularly economic questions and th< j reservations made by the allies in ac cepting President Wilson's fourteen j points as the terms upon which peace j could be made. j The economic questions are assum ! ing a marked prominence since th announcement that an America; party, including a large staff of eco i nomic and shipping experts, was com j ing to Paris and the presence o) this side of the Atlantic of Edward N Hurley and other American economi; and shipping authorities. The main discussions appear t< j center around President Wilson's thire' j point, which was accepted without reservation by the allies, providing for the removal so far as possible of all economic barriers. Previous to this the allied economic congress, held in Paris two years ago, provide,'.; for an economic boycott against tar Central Powers for five years aftci the conclusion of the war and for special trade facilities between th? allied countries, their colonies anl neutrals. This preceded America'. entrance into the war. and the Unit--'! States did mot subscribe to the pro posed restrictions. The growth of American shippinr during the war is another economi* question being discussed widely Some newspapers take the view thai it will present questions of adopting America's higher standard of wages to seaman and of giving America i; proportion of the world's carryin*. ; trade. How such questions will come be j fore the congress are not clear, bu ! Premier Clemenceau's attitude t< : ward the labor delegates who visite j him yesterday concerning a labe meeting simultaneously with the peae j congress leads to the belief that tin ; will have as much prominence in th j conference as political and territoric j questions. Freedom of the seas and comper j sation by Germany for all damage. I suffered by the allies are two ques ? tions for further discussion and do i termination. Concerning freedom of the seas, th , . i tendency in American quarters is t ; obtain a change in the present intei j national practice by which belliger J ents have virtually taken control o | the sea-going traffic on the outbrea f of war, as it is maintained that th ! neutrals would be the ones to pro/ J by keeping out of war and leavin: ! their own shipping without interfe. ence from the belligerents. But a this neutral shipping might be use j to carry ammunition and other wa | supplies, it is said that some voluntar; j agreement would also be necessary pledging all nations not to furnis; war supplies to countries going t war. This in turn would require c international sea patrol and the righ of search at sea. Other points involved under th genefal head of freedom of the sea are the removal of all restriction from free passage through such wa terways at the Cattegat; between th North and Baltic seas, the Darda nelles and Bosphorus between th Mediterranean and the Black seas an all straits exceeding one marin' league, which connect with the hlg seas. The restriction against plantin' mine fields such as those across th North sea between Norway and Scot -land and barrages in the Dover chan nel are further points of discussio' under this general topic. The second reesrve point of the a? lies?Germany to give compensa tion for ail damages?appears gener ally to be accepted in principle, leav ing only the question of the amour of claims by the various allies to b* settled. The British claims will concern largely shipping losses and war ex pense. Serbia. Belgium and Italy hav j had large property losses. Whether America's war expense will be presented as a claim is no known. In some quarters it is heb that the precedents established in th Boxer indemnity and in the Spanish war probably will prevail.

MAN Brussels Witnesses the Greatest Celebration Ever Known. Countless Thousands ?Fill the Streets With a Cheering, Singing Throng. Brussels, Friday, Nov. 22 (By the Associated Press).?It is midnight oi the greatest day in the history 01 Brussels?the day of the triumphant return of the royal family to theii capital after four years of gallant fighting against the German invade! ?and the city is still celebrating the homecoming of its king and queen. Brussels tonight was a.bsolutel\ frenzied with happiness. All the pent up emotions of its people which hau been hold in leash through those years by the stern hand of bondage broke loose in a mighty volume with the advent of their king and -queer and the city which in years gone b> has been konwn as one of the gayesi capitals in Europe has *? been swept with such a wave of patriotic joyous- | ness as it never experienced before. Countless thousands of loyal sub jects for hours have been literall: J dancing their way through the prin- ! cipal thoroughfares singing, cheerin:- j and laughing as they danced. Gra: haired men and women, youths anc { maidens, children and soldiers anc ! civilians all have joined in the grea throngs which have swirled hither am | thither chanting their paeans to th< German downfall. The overwhelming reception givei to the royal family this morning upoi j their entry into the city from Ghem j was in itself unprecedented, but mor< j remarkable scenes were to com'-. As evening fell the city for the firs- ! time in four years burst into bril } liant light. The street lamps whicl : had" remained dark under Genna! ! rule were lighted and the night i: i Brussels was turned into day. . Even the changing electric signs o the big buildings began their endlos, j play and sent thhir variegated ray; [ twinkling down on the streets as i? I the happy days before the war. Man; j of the. big restaurants are still, closed but others in plenty threw wide thei: ! doors to the crowds clamoring for ad mission. Hours passed and the Boulevard di j Nord?incidentally this great thor 1 oughfare today was renamed th Boulevard Adolphe Max, in honor o ; the famous burgomaster?and othc. ' neighboring streets became the play ! ground of hundreds of thousands o j neople. The Boulevard Adolphe Ma: j itself was filled for hours with : j crowd of not less than 100,000 cole i 'orators. So rapidly- did the merrymaker j give way to others and move their ac tivities to adjoining streets that prob ably no succeeding hour found th< same crowd in the boulevard. Ther was plenty of music. It was most!; vocal, but here and there civiliar bands blared their way at the head o: joyous columns. There was tittle tra.t' ric in the streets and endless lines o people marched and danced along an: in arm. Many streets were jamme< from one side to the other with hu man streams passing in either direc tion. It made no difference whether yoi '?new your neighbor or not, you simp 5y linked arm with him or her an' hoped away to the swing of ?"The Marsri'aise" or other marching songs [nnumeraMe huga rings were attract ed and the happy citizens circle< madly about until forced to paus? from lack of breath. "Within the cafes there was no less ;-nthusiasm. Every establishment wa packed to the doors and the peoph alternated in cheering and singing However, it was an entirely harm !ess celebration throughout. Thousands of soldiers? American Belgian.

Columbia, Nov. 25.?A meeting of the committee of 15 on the cotton holding movement in South Carolina will be held in the ofSce of Governor Manning Wednesday morning at 9.30 o'clock, at which time the governor will give a report of his efforts in Washington Friday and Saturday to ascertain just what procedure wiU be necessary to have the cotton commit tees in the national capital, which in fluence the cotton market, abolished at once. Governor Manning was in structed by the committee at its meet ing last Thursday to go to Washing ton for this purpose. He returned to Columbia yesterday. The committee is also asking for a definite statement from the "Washing ton authorities if they intend to fix the. prices of either cotton or cotton goods. Several hundred farmers of the State met in Columbia last Monday and pledged themselves to hold thei. cotton until the price advanced to 3; cents, middling basis. Simultaneous ly a central committee of 15 was cre ated to direct the movement. The committee met again last Thursday and directed several agencies to help in carrying the message to the farm ers. The agencies which are to help in the movement are the State Coun cil of Defense, the State Farmers' Un ion, the extension forces of Clemson Coliege and the department of agri culture. The personnel of the central com mittee are: Gov. Manning, chairman: A. C. Summers, commissioner of ag riculture: W. G. Smith, State ware house commissioner: Capt. J. PI Claffy, president of the State Farm ers' Union; W. M. Riggs. president of Clemson College: W. W. Long, di rector of farm extension forces oi Clemson College; J. Skottowe Wan namaker, president of State Bankers' j Association; V. M. Montgomery, pros- | ident of South Carolina Manufac- j turers' Association; D. R. Coker. i iiartsville; Paul Sanders.

Jn connection with the holding movement, John F. Blanche, manag er of the Farmers' Cooperative Mar keting Association of Orangeburg has submitted to the committee ; plan tor a $5^000,000 corporation t finance the farmers, which plan, h< says, is applicable to every Sou then- ; State. He explains the plan as fol lows: "My plan is that there be formed i stock company with a capital o ?5.000.000. divided into 50.000 share.* j of the par value of $100 each, an? that this capita] be raised by seHin; the stee!c among the farmers and j business men throughout each coun I ty, who are interested in sustaining j the price of ce-ton. If the farmers who have cotton, and those over th? entire State. \>ho are vitally interested in stabilizing the price of cotton ivould each s?bscrJ ,e for a few shares in proportion to t ir respective inter ests. there should be no trouble ir raising this amount of cash capital The fact that such a company wa.* formed for the purpose of assisting and financing the holders of cotton together with the borrowing capacity of such a large corporation, in my opinion, would prove a factor of ver> great strength. "The proposed capital stock of $5. non,000 will only amount to about $-; per bale for all of the cotton raisec* in South Carolina, and with the mar Let fluctuation of more than this amount per day at times, it se^ms t< me that ail of our farmers should b willing to invest this amount in ar undertaking which would have such vital influence upon not only thei personal welfare but upon th<? finan cial strength of the entire South. '?The ]>i ople of South Carolina haw already invested in Liberty Bomb about $80,000,000 and have purchased at least $20.000.000 worth of war sav ings stamps, and in addition larg? amounts have been raised for all th< other undertakings connected with the war matters. I only mention this fact to emphasize that after all, in view of the wealth and financial re sources of South Carolina, it is no; such a big thing to undertake a cor poration with a capital of $5,000,000. We have all learned within the lasi year or two to think and deal in surm of large figures." Admitted the Truth.
