The strike 'of the telephone workers is at a standstill in Columbia. Last Friday a committee of the strikers conferred with M. B. Spier, general Manager of the Southern Bell company for North and South Carolina. At that time Mr. Spier refused all overtures of the strikers for peace. On Saturday the telephone people submitted several propositions to the striking employees which were refused with equal firmness. The next meeting of the two factions is scheduled for next Friday. In Columbia, Willie Bell, a young negro, is in jail for swindling two white men out of $36 each. Willie being in need of money, decided that it would be easy to make a haul provided he could find a few very dry persons who had the wherewithal. Consequently he tackled the first two indn he met and made them a proposition to procure three gallons of com liquor upon payment of $36. These two men fairly fell over each other getting out the money. Bell told them to wait outside a house until he came out with the wet goods. They waited for two dnys, but Willie hud passed through the premises so quickly that the people who lived thero couldn't iiyix |/vuv;ciiinii JJUKCU him up in another part of town trying to work the same game.

Dorsey, of Georgia, L< in his message to the legislature on j ' taking the oath of office for his second term, strongly advocated a re- ?| vision of the laws pertaininir to lynching. On learning of threatened nob vilence the governor should take neasures without waiting for a call ,.L> from local authorities for military rc issistance, Mr. Dorsey said. Lynchngs, he added, should be investigated ju >y a special grand jury drawn from f() he State at large, assisted by a spe- ;n ial prosecutor; those indicted should j,., ?e tyied "at such pluce as would be jn nost conducive to ascertainment of an he truth" before a jury ?^rawn from to he State at large. Some official hould be specifically designated to pjj iscertain if peace officers in the vt, ounty where a lynching took place, so, lerformed their full duty, the gover- a j ior said. t.|8 Jixpenses of the "entire proceed- s^t ngs" should be taxed against the ounty in which the lynching took ilace, Governor DoTsey added. j-,,, hai The transport Martha Wahington jn ailed fron.

IARCHY AND BOLSHEVISM ' TO BE FOUGHT VIGOROUSLY 1 The Federal Government is fully rnizant of the menace of holvism. Investigation by the Detment of Justice shows a determ- j d effort upon the part of the vans anarchist and bolshevic organiions here and in Europe to overow the United States government. ^ fact, it is estimated by department cials that over $2,000,000 is being ired monthly into the treasuries these bands from all narts of the rid for the sole purpose of gaining und, which in time it is hoped by rabid und radical followers of the t will lead to setting up of the iet form of government in AmeriIniong the measures recommendwere large additional appropriais for the department of justice 1 legislation continuing perman !y the war regulations as to purse, storage, manufacture, sale end ribution of explosives, n reporting the bill the senate appriations committee increased m $1,100,000 to $2,000,000 the d of the department of justice for general suppression of crime, addition, it added $.'1,000>""0 for,' special fund to enforce the law t inst alien anarchists through d"- ; tations. 'Vnncis P. Garvan, of the depart- i lit of justice bureau of investi- v ion told the committee that with ! reused funds proposed the depart- 1 nt plans an active campaign. i 'We have found in the short time < t we have been at work" said Mr : rvan, " that conditions are quite < ious throughout the country. We asking $2,000,000 and we have ry reason to believe that the ssian Holshevik are pouring money the rate of that much a month." Mr. (iarvan was asked especially ether there was an organized ef*L to destroy the federal governnt, to which he replied. "Certainly. We have evidence to >w that, and that is also shown by * tremendous amount of money y are spending. The condition is ious throughout the country." New York, Chicago and Paterson, I., he said, are centers of anarchic activities. When asked if the dertment has information thftt anler outbreak of bomb outrages i> med for July 4, Mr. (Iarvan said: "There is a great deal of talk to st effect. The number of radical pers (found in the mails) has in-! ?ased over 1 f?0 papers since the' misticc was signed. We have to \ ke now over 4.">() papers and reud d digest them." \ WORLD PEACE TREATY SIGNED LAST SATURDA The world peace treaty has bee signed. The great world wrir* that ragei for nearly five years is at last ended The official ending of all hostilitie came at between three and four o' clock last Saturday afternoon, whei Dr. Herman Mueller and Joh?.nne: Bell, the German signatories, firs and then President Wilson and th< Allies delegates signed the historj makiing document in the famous ole Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, France The signing was accompanied bj three incidents that caused some disappointment to the peace enthusiasts present, as well as those throughout the world who were listening nad watching for an account of the proceedings. The first of these was the refusal of the Chinese delegation to sign. They refused to attend the signing because they were not permitted to make written reservations. The second was a protest submitted by Gen. Jan Christian Smutts, who declared the peace unsatisfactory. The third came from the Germans, who protested because they were not treated on an equality with the other signers. As a compromise the Germans were given military recognition after they signed and as they were leaving the hall, but were given no recognition as they entered. The ceremony of signing the peaceterms was brief. Premier Clemenceau called the session to order in the Hal! of Mirrors of the Chateau of Versailes at U: 10 o'clock. The signing began when Dr. Herman Mueller and Johannes Hell affixed their signatures. Herr Mueller signed at 3:12 nnd President Wilson first of the Allied delegates, followed. The German ami the \ Ilied delegates came next. The ceremony ami was concluded at d :4.">. Saturday, the Day of Peace, was She fifth aniversary of the murder of Archduke Francis Ferdinand at Suruicvo. It was this murder, taken us an excuse by Germany, that precipitated the war. As soon as he had signed the pence treaty, President Wilson cabled from Versailes a proclamation of peace to the American people which was issued ;:t tin- White House. President Wil- , ion's proclamation follows: 'i he treaty of peace has been signed, if it is ratified and acted upon in fuli ind sincere executions of its terms t will furnish the charter for a new irder of affairs in the world. It is a severe treaty in the duties ind penalties it imposes upon Gcrnany, but it is severe only because treat wrongs done by Germany are o be righted and repaired; it imposes nothing that Germany cannot do: ind she can regain her rightful standng in the world by the prompt and tonornblc fulfilment of its terms. And it is much more than a treaty >f peace with Germany. It liberates great peoples who have u-ver before been able to find the vay to liberty. It ends once for all an dd and intolerable order under which mail groups of selfish men could use he peoples ol' great empires to serve heir own ambition for power and doninion. I eajzuo Will Maintain World Peace li associates the free (iovernmenu ?f the world in a permanent league n which they are pledget to use their inited power to maintain peace by nainlainiiitf r.^ht and justice. It inaacs international law a realiy supported by imperative sanction. li Joes away with the rivcht of con uest am' rejects the policy of art o vation and suhsttiuies a new order inder which backward nations' popu ations which have not yet come to lolilical consciousness, and peoples viio ate leaily for independence hut rot yet quite prepared to dispense vith protection and guidance, shall no nore he subjected to the domination ird exploitation of a stronger nation, ?ut shall he put under the friendly lirection and afforded the heljifu! issistance of Governments which un. lertahe to he responsible to the or> :i,.r in.t ... <iw. ..v.......i r their task by accepting the direction of the League of Nations. New Era Provided For Labor Ii recognizes the inalienable rights of nationality, the rights of minorities anil the sanctity of religious belief and practice. It lays the basis for conventions which shall free the commercial inter course of the world from un.iust and vexatious restrictions and for every sort of international co-oper at ion that will serve to cleanse the 1:f ?!' the world and facilitate its common action in heneficient service of every kmd. It furnishes guarantees such as were never given or even contemplated before; the fair treatment of all who labor at the daily tasks of the world. It is for this reason that I have spoken of it as a great charter for a new order of affairs. There is ground here for deep satisfaction, universal reassurance and confident hope. WOODROW WILSON 1 WARTIME PROHIBITION y BECOMES EFFECTIVE n On last Tuesday morning a wail went forth throughout the length and j breadth of the land. It was the ory I of the rum hound whose haunts had been raided and whose beverajre had 9 had been rendered innocuous by the - strong arm of war time piohibition t law. b In those States where prohibition t had not already encroached upon the ?

In South Carolina, of course, no change was observed, this state having been so long long without the saloon that the oldest inhabitant has hut a dim recollection of the interior arrangement of same. The gradual i tightening of restraints governing th?? the* procuring of small ijiiantities for snake-bite and other medicinal purposes, together with the inferior article carried in the hoot lop of die peddler, made it possible for many pood citizens to realize with perfect '. luaniniity that tie re was not a drop i within a two days ride in a Kurd. In nlain words South Carolina, :^!o*c with a preat wide swath reaflMfng from Atlantic to Pacific and dotting he lialance of the > atiner.t, has been fairly well weaned. Hilt that part of the I'nite !
