Mose Frierson Has t Wonderful Horse Dappled Gray 4 Breaks the Washington Street Speed Record Tuesday morning there was a great deal of excitement on Wash ington Street when a ruaway oc-:, curred. Mose Frierson, a colored man who Jives about six miles from town on the White's Mill Road, had. come to town to get some medicine for his wife, who was very ;sick. While riding down Canal Street, in the vicinity of the jail,. Mose's fiery steed was frightened by an automo bile which dashed by going at furl- j ous rate of speed.- Some by Stand ers even say it was making nearly ten miles an hour. The different reports range from ? eight to ten miles an hour. Anyhow Mose's dappled gray became alarmed and started towards Washington Street on-the gallop with Mose swinging to\the reins. The trusty steed took the Washington Street comer going so fast that all who saw it said only j one wheel grazed. the asphalt. Soon after Dobbin got into the straightway headed down Washing ton Street his speed became so ter rific that a shaft broke off and the buggy was smashed against the curbing with . Mose under the. wreckage. The trusty steed con tinued his course down .Washing-, ton street and Mose climbed from >undeiv.the,wreckage with hardly a scratch on him. . Great panic was caused among the children, of the, grammar schools,1 who were all out at recess when all the. excitement took place. .No one was hurt how ever and. the horse continued ihis: flight. The horse experts in the city, of whom there are a-great number, all say that the runaway smelted hay when . he. reached the corner of Liberty for here old Dohbin es sayed to.<take.the turn on high.. The result was: disastrous, and Dobbin should have known better, for. ? he .got a hard .sit down, which didn't seem to faze him for. he jumped up and went on ? down Washington instead of Liberty as he intended when he attempted to take the turn going at a- high rate of speed. - Mose's. steed would probably still be run ning except for the valor and out standing courage of Willie Brad ford, who realizing that the lives of a great number of citizens were in danger took his life into his own hands and pedaling his bicycle un til the bearings needed ice water to keep them from burning up, he overtook the runaway and witlr*a remarkable jump that .showed what, he *as made of he clutched .the reins and.brought the-charger to1 a dead stop. WiUie gladly accepted a twenty-five cent piece from the grateful Mose for his act of hero ism. Times are. .certainly getting hard. Willie should have some kind of a medal or brass button or something bestowed on hinrfor his wonderful work of courage and we heartily congratulate him for being so brave. ??.,???? , j . Death. Lynchburg, Sept. 13.?Early on the morning of Friday, September 9, Junius T. McNeill, aged . 63 years, died. Mr. McNeill was dan gerously sick about a year ago but had gradually improved until of I late .he seemed to be nearly in his ! normal condition of health and I spirits.. His many friends observ ed his gain in health, and were grateful, but on Thursday night about .10 o'clock his. old trouble, high- blood pressure, with compli-. cations, returned and in less than I four hours the end came.

A Farmers Revolution ,_ j Marlboro Man Believes Repe tition Reform Movement of 1890 is Imminent ! Editor Daily Item: j It appears to an onlooker as I well as to one who is vitally inter ested in the governmental and po- j : litical affairs of out state, that a farmers' revolution in the affairs of! Btate is imminent another year in j 1 South Carolina. Somebody might j 2s well take notice, for the past ten or twelve years we have ! been wholly dominated in South j Carolina, by lawyer governors, and) lawyer members of the general as- ; sembly. As a result of this state of affairs: The state's nervous sys tem has been prostrated, as well as I her business affairs, and conditions have gone from bad to worse. The ! farmers of South Carolina, are) tired of these conditions and watch I what I tell you, we are going to change them at the first oppor ! tunity. I When you put a lawyer in the J governor's chair and fill the gener ! al assembly with lawyers and poli J ticians, you have simply got the devil to play. Any man of ordinary sense knows that the average law yer by his education, training and profession cannot be an all-round statesman. He is ever and eter nally playing the game for him self or his client; he is always look ing forward to something he has not, and this within itself on vital issues, makes him a straddler and politician. All lawyers have their eyes on hig business, and big businesses as little as you think about it have a powerful influence upon lawyers in the general assem bly. This of course does not apply, to the best lawyers, but all the best lawyers do not by any means get to be governors or members of the legislature. And again: The law-j yer that is elected governor or to j legislature does not expect to re main there always; he knows that none of these offices are going tp furnish permanent means for a livelihood, so while in office serving the people ostensibly, he is looking out for big businesses for a job.1 I "Whose bread I eat, whose song I I sing." The lawyers have a great j way when running for office of ! telling such a monstrous number of j half lies, he is an expert along this [ line, a befuddler in a campaign ! just as he js in a court house on a case. Owing to his power of train ed manipulation and scheming he actually makes the farmers believe j that they have no capable leaders j among themselves. Hear them on j the ^stump and in the halls of the legislature, and you hear a confus j ing and conglomerated mess even j to a thinking mind, and to the un: thinking mind the politician lawyer has done more to destroy the inde pendent thinking and voting ca pacity of the masses of the people i by' his tudied deception and vil- j j lainous lies to the people than all j other agencies combined in a gen-^ j eration. We have certainly found ! it to be a fact, that from the por ] litician lawyer in most cases you ! cannot determine what he is going j to db by what he says, and these j lawyer politicians have created ! more mischief, discord, and trouble j than the people of this state know what to do with, and we farmers ! especially are tired of it and have determined by the help of God to put a stop to it another year. We I are beginning tbe fight today and ' we give the lawyer politician due (notice. Talk about the farmer be ing the backbone of the state, j what grand people we are, etc., is j the kind of filthy dope that is dish i ed out to him every two years, and ! after that you' can plow on. } It is a foregone conclusion j without a doubt and I believe that j ninety per cent of all classes of our farmers will fully agree with me, that in our horrible condition, there is no lawyer or set of lawyers in the state that can lead us out >f the mire; but to the contrary would make matters a thousand times worse. Then you ask, who is to lead us? I answer: That some where hidden back in South Caro lina, there is a great big man, a man with a vision, a man free from trickery and political manipulation, a man who has never held office and is not an old political hack, a rntin who would impress his moral and righteous life upon all the peo ple, a man who would see to it that taxes were equitably distributed, and that the rich corporations and money powers would bear a just proportion of taxes and that taxes all along the lire be greatly reduc ed and last a man who would get up a general assembly of farmers and business men to see that all these reforms were carried out. You say that your ideals are high, and ask the question, where are you going to find him. I an I swer: A farmer from the back ! woods where we found Ben Till I man thirty years ago. Ninety per cent of the lawyers in j the state fought Ben Tillman to the j death. My fellow farmer, all over j the state, let me implore you stand together, let us get seriously busy I today to find us a man; a Moses to lead us out of our great troubles, a ! man from among us, a man who ! has followed the plow, a man who has made brick without straw and a man who knows when and where his dollars come from and will ? know where yours go to. Let us or I ganize now. Politicians never sleep i on the job, they are ever alert with j their devilish combines. My fellow farmer all of South j Carolina, is looking to us to save : the state from a hell of strife and ' from these lawyer politicians, i which is sure to come if we dare allow them full sway as'heretofore. Regardless of past partisan affilia tions, I appeal to all the farmers I to become a unit in an effffort to save our state. We can stay here in great peace and prosperity if we can get our ; own farmer leaders to rule over us and legislate for us, but mark my i predict ioji; as we undertake to car I ry out our plan of organization you will find that half the lawyers in : the state are going to try and tear , us to pieces and try to move heaven j and earth to succeed. We must lind a man-, and to that end allow me i to appeal to every farmer in the i j state to begin today the search for j him, and when you find him pub i lish it to the world.

Resolution Calling For Disarmament I - I London, Sept. 12 (By the As-j , sociated Press).?The w o r 1 d 's ! Methodist conference this after noon adopted a strongly worded resolution calling for international I disarmament and the complete abolishment of war. This action was taken after a spirited contro versy over the question as to whether mention should be made in the resolution of the league of nations. The conference finahy decided to adopt a resolution which did not mention the league and to ask the business committee to frame a separate resolution dealing with the league which will be voted on later. The resolution adopted says the conference, "speaking in the name and on behalf of 32,000',000 follow ers, declares without hesitation or reservation its belief in the abso lut: necessity for international dis armament and the complete aboli tion of war." "Sitting in the shadow of the most terrible conflict in human his tory, with its unparalleled wastage in human life and property and with its inevitable aftermath of hu man sorrow and its burden of woe, we declare war an unmitigated curse to humanrty," the resolution continues. "On behalf of millions of youths who suffered and died, on behalf of millions of homes broken by be reavement, in the name of the si lent multitudes who still suffer, we insist that our statesmen and lead* 1 ers find a way for the settlement I of international differences by oth er than arms. We repudiate the J doctrine that war is a necessity. Justice, not force, must be the final arbiter Of right. Differences must be settled by reason, not by human slaughter." The resolution says that if there are those who refuse to listen to reason, "then let a way be found by which such Ishmaelites may feel" the collective disapproval of the world." j The conference, the resolution j adds, advocates no plan, but it calls upon the authorities to "give them selves without reserve to the Chris tian task of finding a substitute for war." It condemns armament and says the conference especially appeals to the meeting that is soon to be held in Washington to dis cuss limitation of armament, "that no word be left unsaid nor deed undone that shall help to relieve the world of its burden of arma ments and the threat of war." Immediately after the reading of the resolution Judge Charles B. Ames of the Methodist Episcopal I church. South, who was an assist ant attorney general during the ad ministration of President Wilson, protested that the resolution speci fically indorses the approaching conference on limitation of arma ments but not the league of na tions. "As a citizen of the United States and a lover of peace and of my country," said Judge Ames, "I want to say that our government is setting up a competitive body to the league of nations. The disarma ment conference may do more harm than good. It is my profound conviction that the people of the United States favor our entering the league of nations." League of Women Voters The First Meeting of Fall Sea son Was Well Attended The League of Women Voters held its first fall meeting on Mon day afternoon, September 12th at 5 o'clock in the basement of the Car negie Library. In spite of the ex treme heat an unusually large at tendance marked the resumption of the meetings and gave an enthusiastic greeting to Mr. R. B. Belser, who spoke to the league on the reasons for and against a con stitutional convention in . the near fur e. Mr. Belser convinced the women that such a measure would not be wise during the present bus j ines? paralysis and advised them to study more thoroughly the present constitution in order that they might be better prepared to de mand at a later date, the changes sought by them. His talk was practical, and constructive and was given the closest attention. It will interest the members of the league to know that Mr. C. J. Jackson of Horatio, member of house of rep resentatives, has accepted an invi tation from the league to speak to them at the October meeting on the present system of taxation? in South Carolina. He has been asked to discuss its defects and the suggest ed remedies for the same. This pertinent subject should interest every citizen of Sumter county and the league hopes that not only the members but every woman citizen j of Sumter will be present. You are asked to remember that tb* r<"*'? ! trat ion books are open bri th?j firs? i Monday of each montii ~. m. to 4 p. m. and you are remind ed that you cannot vote on any is j sue under thirty days after regis ! tering. In order to avoid any dis j appointment along this line it I would be the better plan to get ? your certificates at the next oppor ! tunity. Further details of the Oc tober meeting will be announced j at a later date. Mrs. R. B. Furman. Publicity Chairman, League of Wo men Voters of Sumter. ? ? ?

Taxes on Corpora tions For this Year Senate Refuses- to Agree to Mellon'S; Retroactive Repeal of lax on Excess Profits Washington;! Sept. 13.?Corpora tions would be required to pay ex cess profits taxes for another year under a decision of the senate finance committee which finally ap proved the provision in the house bill repealing these taxes as of next January 1, instead of last January. 1. as recommended by Secretary Mellon. The committee also inserted a provision in the house measure re pealing the capital stock tax, ef fective next year, and adopted an amendment increasing the corpor ation income tax from 10 to 1"> per cent, instead of 12 1-2 per cent., effective January I, 3 922. These represented the major decisions reached today at two ses sions, although it was said official ly that the committee practically had decided to amend the house bill so -as to continue the tax on express packages and oil.transport ed by pipe lines. Whether anoth er portion of the taxes on the transportation of freight and pas sengers will be retained after Jan uary 1, will depend. Chairman Penrose said, .upon a report to^pbe be made tomorrow by the treasury as to the savings in expenditures expected to be made this fiscal year by the various government de partments. This rdeport '"?as called for to day by the committee which was represented as taking the position that it could not complete the levy sections of the bill until it had more detailed information as to how the departments expected to accomplish the $3r?0,000,000 cut in outgo agreed upon at the White House tax conference last month. With this information in hand, Chairman Penrose said the co.r. mittee probably could get through all of the levy sections of the bill tomorrow. Rapid progress was made today,. thjE: committee com pleting consideration of a number of administrative as well- as levy sections. Provisions in the house bill stricken out today included those exempting from the income tax the salaries of the president and the judges of federal courts; the first $500 of income from n.vestments in building and loan associations and contributions made by corpora tios for charitable purposes. The committee also disagreed to the house provision allowing traveling salesmen to deduct from their in come all expenses incurred while on the road. A new section added to the house bill would require individuals hav ing a gross income of $5,000 an nually to make a return irrespec tive of whether the total amount of net income was taxable. Chair man Penrose said the treasury ex pected to collect income taxes from many nersons not now making re turns through this provision.. I 4 Another provision added wy' the [committee would permit banks to i deduct for purposes of federal tax | ation the amount of. taxes paid to j states on the shares of stockhold ; ers. . ? - ' The committee agreed to sections ! of the house bill exempting from tax interest on bank deposits of foreigners engaged in business in this country, but not having reg ! ular places of business and exempt? I ing fraternal beneficiary societies ! from federal taxation. - It also ; agreed to the house provision per I mining corporations after next j January 1 to make consolidated re ! turns for subsidiary companies or I an individual return for each sub ; sidiary.
