Pisgah; Oct. 23.?The heavy
rains- of last week damaged the
hay stacks so many of them had to
torn down and dried.
I don't hear of many going to

not the money to go on. What
* little cotton was made had to g<

it and when paid there was noth
ing left.
* The box supper here" last Friday
?? evening was a very enjoyable af
iair. The boxes of the girls were
beautifully dressed and they read
ily sold. Old and young entered
ipto the. spirit of the occasion..
Quite a nice sum was realized,
5 which will go towards paying for
~* the new piano of Pisgah church.
Prof. Burns and wife who are the
' school teachers, here ' are very
I pleasant people and have made
* many friends since they have
come here.
I have read the letters on what
Sumter needs and agree with
i parts of many of them. I did not
compete for the- prize,, but here
are some, things that Sumter
needs: \ A cotton mill. Other
towns and cities have them and
tney are a success. Why can't Tt
be so at Sumter? A cold storage
plant, where hogs can be cured
" to supply the city's needs and
country too. .Such. a. plant would
^stimulate the raising of many nogs.
*" and who is it' that don't like the
i home raised .meat better than the
imported. - This plant would be so
convenient, for farmers could sell;
their hogs and the good house
wives could get what they heed
without trouble and farmers would
not have to peddle their by-prb-i
ducts all over the city to find buy
ers.
A green vegetable market where I
all vegetables and other things,
could be sold and farmers could |
- find ready sale for what they
" raise and bring to town. This
would be. convenient for all the
people. .""
~ A market for chickens and eggs,
where both could be readily sold.
This would stimulate the raising of
- chickens, enough to' supply the
home and city's needs,
This would keep the money at
' home for such things. Plants and
other industries will come and. be
( established when they are needed
You don't need more money or
goods, you have, a plenty, for the
present needs. You have a wheat
mlH.^gins, guano plants, and other
industries. Fine schools an<i'

RULING
{Until Decision is Ren
dered by Supreme
Court to Expedite
Hearing
Washington, Oct. 25 (By the
Associated Press).? Enforcement
of the national prohibition law
with respect to foreign shipping
within American territorial waters
will await a final interpretation
of that section of the statute by
the Supreme Court, it was indicat
ed today by high administration
officials. This interpretation is ex
pected late next month, or in De
cember.
Decision to withhold enforce
ment of the law as construed by
Attorney General Daugherty was
formally communicated today to
Associate Justice Brandeis. of the
supreme court who subsequently
refused to grant various steamship
lines a stay against the enforce-1
ment. of Federal Judge Hand's de
cision at New York dismissing, their
application for a permanent in
junction restraining federal agents
from applying the Volstead law.
Justice Brandeis, was under
stood to have agreed with counsel
for the government and the steam
ship line that, the decision, to
withhold enforcement had removed
any necessity for - a legal stay
through a writ of supercedas which
has been requested by the lines and
acquiesced in by the department of
justice. The* decision as to en
forcement Was incorporated by Sec
retary Mellon to customs officers
and" prohibition agents which w^s
drafted after Mr. Mellon had con
ferred at length with Attorney Gen
eral. Paugherty. The order was ex
plained in this, statement by the
Treasury Secretary.
"Regulations are being prepared
by this department for putting into
effect the opinion of the Attorney
General of October C. 1922, but
the subjects to be covered are va
rious and of a complicated nature
which are requiring considerable
time. and the atention of several
different departments affected. Un
til the new regulations have been
worked outr those at present in
force will prevail, and I have to
day issued to the chief of the di
vision of customs and the commis
sioner of internal revenue. an or
der to that effect.
"Therefore, until the new regu
lations are available, enforcement
of the law will continue as here
tofore. For instance, foreign ships
entering American ' territorial wa
ters with liquor on board as cargo
under seal can for the present
proceed under such seal. to their
destination in a foreign port and
sea stores in such foreign ships
which are required to be sealed on
arrival of the vessel within Ameri
can ports, can, when such stores
are required for the use of the of
ficers and crew of the vessel, be j
opened only from time to time for j
withdrawal for such purposes, must j
be immediately resealed. This ap-1
plies to foreign vessels only and
of course," forbids the sale or serv
ice "of liquors to passengers within
American territorial waters.
"When the regulations govern
ing enforcement of the law are
completed and aproved, notice will
be given of" the date on which they
will become effective and a rea
sonable time, will be given to for
eign shipping to meet the new con- J
ditions. j
"In the meantime, there is a pos- {
sibility that the case which is be-I
ing expedited and which is ex
pected to come before the supreme
court during November, may be i
decided, and in that event, the con- j
templated regulations in prepara
tion may have to be modified to'
conform to the anticipated decision !
of the court."
Counsel for the steamship com-;
panies in their petition to Justice j
Brandeis contended that enforce-!
ment of the Daugherty ruling i
would cause irreparable damage to
their business and would lead to
diplomatic difficulties. A statement'
by the department of justice em
phasized that the government did
not concur in these contentions and
acquiesced in the petition for a
writ solely on the ground that
preparations had been completed
to expedite consideration of the
case by the supreme court.
One of the elements entering
into a discussion to defer'enforce
ment is understood to have been
a desire to avoid any possible in
ternational embarrassments pending
a final interpretation of the law
by the court of last resort. Pro
tests against enforcement of th/s
law are expected from foreign gov
ernments and more particularly
from those whose laws require the
serving of alcoholic beverages t?,
members of the crews of ships
flying their flags.

LLOYD GEORGE
OUSTED BUT
NOTWHIPPED
Retiring Premier Goes
Before British Pub
lic to Defend His
Policies
London, Oct. 25?Former Prime
Minister Lloyd George started off
h,is campaign in London today with
a fighting speech to an enthusiastic
meeting of the Coalition-Liberal
members of Parliament, throwing;
down the gauntlet to the. Conserva
tives whose atack upon the govern-5'
ment. he declared, left no alterna
tive but to "spread the war."
The litle Welshman stood by his
Manchester speech of last 'Satur
day, reiterating his intention to sup
port any party or government pur
suing a policy of peace., economy
and steady progress, neither revolu
tionary nor reactionary-.
"We are confronte'd," said Mr.
Lloyd George, "with a very impor
tant decision affecting not merely
the future of those here and those
who support them in the country,
but a decision which affects the in
terest of the country itself. That
is a more important matter for us
all."
He counseled calmness, and cour
age, and asserted the interests of
the country must come, first.
"I have seen parties destroyed by
personal resentment," continued the
;former premier, "I have seen parties
rendered impotent by personal re
sentments. I have seen their judg
ment deflected, and for that rea
on they are not making the con
tribution they ought to the well
being of the people for whose pros
perity we are deeply concerned. We j
will not make that mistake, what-j
ever happens. We will consider the I
land to which we are deeply at
tached first. Its interests must be
deposited in our hearts, its inter
eats must be the highest in our con
cern?Great Britain first: an^
party, even our own, second and
eve^n "last.
"Xow, that is our policy. We have
stood for national unity, that is,
unity of all men, all creeds, parties
and sections for the purpose, first,
of all. of winning the war, and af-.
terwards extricating the cduntry
from its after-the-war difficuties."
It was not their fault, declared
Mr. Lloyd George to his hearers, if
a party faction had arisen and
unity had been for the moment
broken. The war had been won and
the country was getting through its
troubles in peace gradually, r.nd
throughout the world re-establish
ment and successful grappling with,
financial difficulties was being ac
complished.
"Our credit was being built up
in a# way that amazed the whole
world," continued he. "Trade was
beginning to turn unemployment
was going down. In fact success
was becoming so manifest that
some people thought it time to
seize the profits." Factionalism had
been revived, and the success of
the coalition had made some of
the ablest, most experienced and
most honorable men in the con
servative party say:
"This isn't Jannock.' (provin
cial English for "fair play.")
*T can understand," he added,
"a revolt of under-secretaries * * *,<
I can also understand for the rea
sons indicated why the wiser heads
of the party did not join in the
revolt.
"The present may look prosper
ous or promising. The future is
dark and difficult and the wiser
men hesitated, were reluctant,
apart from the fact that as Lord
Balfour said, there are certain
things gentlemen don't do.
"But what I can not understand
is why the majority party took
that line." said the former pre
mier, laying emphasis upon those
words.
"It is vital that we should not
allow our view of the eastern:
transactions to weigh against the;
country's interests. This is the!
thing that matters at the begin-1
ning, at the end, and all the time."
He expressed doubt as to whether
? the conservatives alone could de- !
fend the fabric the institutions and?
the principals of the country for'
which millions had faced death.
"We are here," he declared, "to j
see how the situation which has I
been brought about by indiscreet,
[impulsive, thoughtless men" shall
be so handled that Great Britain
shall not come to any harm by
their deed."
Mr. Lloyd George said he was
unable to explain the reasons for
the breakdown?that he was per
plexed when he tried to find what!
the differences were
Mr. Lloyd George asserted that j
conditons here were tranquil and |
that he had seen conditions abroad I
worse than now.
The ex-premier credited the
coalition with settling the trouble!
between Turkey and Greece "by
strong and firm action which
I Showed Great Britain meant to
! have peace on terms honorable to
jour country and which would be
{one of security for the world."
To have peace, he said, one must
ibe strong. Great Britain was not
I going to extend her rcsponsibili
Ities, ''but she must not be afraid
? of her responsibilities. A Britain
I that goes to the councils of tlu
? world afraid of her responsibilities
I is a Britain that will cease to
j count from that moment."
He said that in order to follow
! the traditional policy of the coun
try, "we must stand for modera
tion in the treatment of foreign
[affairs and work with our allies
j to the best of our power, but not
I hinder the great British policy for
[which this country has always
I stood. We must not be tied V?e
j hind the chariot of any other land."
j On the question of reparations,
Mr. Lloyd George said there should
be no attempt to impose on Ger
many any payment beyond her ca
pacity. 'And what is within her
j capacity." he added, "she should
I pay * * *
"I do not stand for a policy that
Would say Great Britain must pay
America all her debt but that she
must exact nothing from Germany
from France or from anybody else.
* * * I am for fair play but we
must have it from our own citi
zens too."
Mr. Lloyd George said he had
never changed his mind regarding
the League of Nations and favored
the enrolment of all the European
nations as its members. "I am in
favor," he declared, "of making
every reasonable concession in or
der to induce the United States to
associate itself with that great
body if it can be accomplished. For
until you get all the nations of
Europe in" (and I still think you
can get the United States there)
the League of Nations wili be
crippled * * * "Working with
the United . States of America
bought to be one of the chief pur
! poses of any government. There is
j more in common between us than
with any other land. Our ideals
approximate in a way that prob
ably the ideals of no other two
countries do. If these two coun
tries would work together it would
be a most sure guarantee for the
just peace which is the only last
ing peace.'*
The remainder of the former
Premier's speech deals with home
policies. In it Mr. Lloyd George
after tilting at Reginald McKenna
for changing his allegiance from
Asouith to Bonar Law advocated
improvement in trade and increase
in employment, urged stern eco
nomic measures and asserted that
capital and labor must work to
gether.
Regarding the attitude to be
adopted, toward the coming elec
tions, Mr. Lloyd George said:
"Labor has declared ruthless war
upon us. In self-defense, there
fore, you have to fight and resist
the onslaughts of the success! ul
party of this country."

JOHNSON TO RULE
ON SOLITARY HIT
Ty Cpb!> Kept Out of .4gQ
Class by: Opinion of
Scorer
New York; 'Oct. 23?A difference j
in the judgment of official and un
official scorers involving a* solitary
hit, will keep Ty Cobb out of the
.400 batting class this year, unless
President Johnson, president-ofTt?e
American League overrules the of
ficial scorer, it was said, in league
circles today.
At the close of the session the
official records credited Cobb w^h
210 hits, one less than necessary
for a .400 average, bat because sev
eral other records were dependent
on his mark, a recheck against -"the
unofficial figures were decided upon.
These official records - gave Cobb
211 hits,* an average of .40.0.
The difference of one hit was .
found to exist in the records- of the
game of May 15. between the'Tigers
and the Yankees" at the Pofo
Grounds, the official count'giving
Cobb one hit arid the unofficial ac
cording him two.
The official scorer recalled that
Cobb hit a grounder in the dire&.ijg
tion of second base, which Everett
Scott, the Yankee shortstop;. made
an elf ort to get and did reach, but
permitted it to slip away.. It was
his judgment that Scott should have
