THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
One of the strongest advocates of
the League of Nations in Congress i:Senator
MeConiber of North Dakota.
In ur^in^ that there be some agreement
between the rrreut nations to
maintain the peace of the world and
to prevent unjust wars Mr. McComl?l*r
prit iri7nil fha* eonnlorc
who opposed the League of Nations
and showed the fallacy of their argu- '
merits.
Referring to the resolution of Senator
Knox of Pennsylvania in oppo- (
sition to the League he said it did not
embody the real heartfelt conviction
of that senator, but it is an abject
surrender not only of his own person- '
al convictions, but it is a surrender of <
the personal convictions of most Re- (
publicans as well as Democrats.
Spcul.ing of the beginning of th<
great war Senator Mr-Comber said:
On the UXth day of June, l'Jl 1, in 1
one of the small countries of Kurope, i
n country so small that its (
exact location at that time was scarcely
known to the American people, a
man and his wife were murdered by 1
a little band of political assa-sins. Had '
this murder been committed upon an |
ordinary family it would not have '
been considered of sullicient importance
to have justified the expense of 1
a cablegram to this country. Rut '
as the victims of these misled malefactors
were of the Ilapshurg family
the world was notified of tin- occurence.
Had anyone then suggested
that this act might bring on a great
world war, his mental balance would
have been piiestioned. The world was
too civili/.ed in the year 11114 to permit
the destruction of millions of innocent
men because one man stabbed
or shot another to death.
That murder has already cost the
lives of more than 50,000 young
American boy . s*r.?1 so it did bi-comi'
nur conrcrn. W can not !????!< upon
their fresh-made '/raves, scarce yet
softenerl hy nature's verdant shroud,
without yielding our belief that it w;c
no concern of ours.
T^iat murder has co.^t us about
$ 1<>,,OOU,',UO,OIM) up to the present
time and before we are through
$ I 00, (tott, ()t)0, i)0h will have been paid
out by tiie American people. Is a conflict
i ri Kit rope which compels us to
load that enormous debt upon the
American people for a century a conflict
which doe-, not concern us? Our
t'ivil W ar cost us only about six billions
of dollars, or only about oneeij'th
of the cost of one year of this
war. Is it no concern of ours that
there shall be left at t.h< close of this I
conflict, the possibility, yes the probability,
that another worse war shall
blacken the earth?
The able senator then presents the
matter in such plain terms that there
is rio possible ground for dispute, lie
put tins plain proposition to the senate;
Had the United States been
ri/ht. on the spot with an agreement
signed by u v and signed by (jerntany
that (Jermany would riot make war
on I 'ranee or any other country without
submit t my to a league of nations
O.. ........1 r u. <
?.?|? <|U< .UIWI1 >M II1?- I ?>I
her caiisi', th?* world would have heen
spared this awful eondatfration with
its consequent miseries whi'*h can
never he forgotten or forgiven.
The senator did not say in so many
words that the; opposition of the Republican
senators was la-cause the
League of Nations was advocated by
President Wilson, hut the inference
from all his arguments was that they
were r,,,t sim-ere in opposing the
I.eajMie of Nations. As surely as this
I.eajfue is defeated and the world suffer
s another u'-h calamity, deeper
than the hatred of the enemy will he
the hatred toward the statesman of
the world who have failed in this threat
opportunity to league together to
L. l-.ll *
inn-Mi ji'ntr, irinocerii numan neinys
from such sufferings and calamities
uh have been visited upon thorn !)?
cause there was no law to chock a
(freat, powerful nation from criminal
aggression. What wc want today is
an international law on this subject,
a law that will declare* that war by
one nation is a matter of concern to
every other nation, and 'hat no uri
just war shall be waited by any nation.
Now, that is just exactly wha'
the League of Nations does.
Mr. I 'resident we have preached
the reduction of armaments for years.
Now, present to rue, if you can, a hotter
or a safer plan than that provided
m in this treaty, or else acknowledge
^ frankly that we never intended to
conform our acts to our declarations.
Senator Mr-Comber closed his appeal
in these words:
1 am not tlx- molder of my brother's
convictions nor tin- keeper of his conscience,
hut speaking for myself as
just one American citizen, I could not
cast my vote atrainst any reasonable
agreement ta secure future world |'
in i ii i?agg ii if t
peace without a conviction that would
follow me to the icrave, that 1 had
committed an unpardonable offense
against all future, generations.
Our only excuse in giving so much
space to the Senator's speech is that
the importance of the League of Nations
demands that good citizens give
to it their best thoughts and their
influence. As one Republican senator
who is not influenced by his opposition
to President Wilson in making
a fight on the League, this speech
takes the wind out of the sails of
those other senators who are inspired
by two motives. The first, of
course, is opposition to any plan of
President Wilson and the other, the
little Presiuentiul bee that is buzzing
in their own bonnets.
Like King Richard in kis extremity
cried: "A horse, a horse, my kingdom
for a horse!" so theKo Republican
leaders in their anguish are crying
for an issue that will save their
party and boost them into the Presidential
ring. They are scrambling to
get into the white house and are
erecting. Presidential lightning rods
all along the way.
SHERIFF RECTOR KILLED BY
REVENUE AGENT GOSNELL
Sheriff llendrix Rector, of Greenville
County, was shot and instantly
killed on the evening of duly Fourth
(>y Jake Gosnell, a revenue agent and
formerly a deputy sheriff.
The kllline took tdlici- in Briscoe's
garage "i (Jreenville, where both
m;n were having their cars repaired.
Iheie had been bad feeling between
.hem for a long time and the shooting
.vas probably I hi outcome of politial
difference-, winch had led to several
previous altercations.
SherilF Rector was a staunch
lilea. He ;n d had i ..ny friends of lb ?t
faith throughout the state. He was
Llie bi'oiiier d" f.arlos Rector, L*n:led
States Iteputy Internal Revenue ( ollector,
and .lames and Rnir.ey Rector,
t Josnell had been a deputy sheriff
befor becoming; a revenue agent. The
bad made threats during several political
campaigns, but it was thought
I hat the danger of a shooting affray
bad passed.
At the coroner's inquest there was
but one eye witneess, VV. 11. Keller,
former deputy sheriff and jailer under
Sheriff Rector. According to Keller's
testimony what happened just
before the shooting was, in brief, as
follows:
"(Josnell was in Briscoe's Karate
having his car fixed. Sheriff Rector
came in and said to (Josnell, '(Jood
morning. Jake.' (Josnell replied: '1
didn't speak to you and 1 don't want
to have anything to do with you.' "
Then according to the witness, Rector
said with an oath, 'I wanted to
show you I could peak to you. 1 dont
care whether you speak to me or
not.'" Then in the language of the
witness, "(Josnell just got out his gun
and shot him."
Keller testified that while Sherifl
Rector had his right hand on his body
iomcwhcre near his belt, he did not
have it in his hip pocket, where he
carried his gun.
Kxciteinent ran high in (Jreonvillc
and (Josnel was spirited away to some
unknown jail for safe keeping. It
was feared that Rector's friend*
would attempt to do him violence oi
that his own friends might attempt
to liberate him.
On Tueday, of this week, Sherifl
White, of Spartanburg, arrived at tht
pcnniteritary hi Columbia, with Cosne||,
whom he turned over to that institution.
(iosnejl had been kept ir
the Spartanburg jail sinee the nij?h1
of the killing,fitt that time beiri^c con.
sidered expedient to keep his where
a bouts unknown. .
<iov. Cooper has announced tha
on his return from a fishing trip hi
will name a successor to Sherilf Rector.
NO SUGAR FAMINE COMING;
MORE THAN USUAL SUPPLY
Reports early this week from Co.
lurubia, Charleston, Atlanta and ?
number of bi^ cities indicated tha
a sujrar famine was impending- It
fact Columbia was entirely out of th?
commodity and the Chesterfield mar
ket wn not any too well supplied
In- '-st ipat ion at the bi;^ refineries
however bow that there is no causi
for alarm. There is more su^ar it
the country than usual. The shortatfi
was entirely the fault of the jobber:
and wholesalers, who preferred run.
nin^ on a small margin to buying adc
<iuate sunnlies at a sliirht advance ir
wire. The tfreat demand for litfh'
wines in the North has marie a bi^ ?!<
manrl on the suj.p?r supply. Thous
anris of barrels of su^ar have heei
user! in making experiments in t,hr
r luetion of stronger wines to meel
these requirements. The way of re.
during seems to he to a<l'l su^ar urjr
water. At any rate the danger of t
su^ar shortage is over and all communities
will soon have large supplies

ADVISES TOBACCO GROWERS o
TO LET CROP RIPEN WELL n
Mr. H. L.Glenn, of the lirm of Wad
<1111 and Glenn, tobacco buyers, advises
all growers to be sure and allow
Iheir tobacco to ripen well before
,,,* , . n
cropping it. Mr. (ilenn says there is ^
:m idea prevalent not only in Ches- ^
terfield, but in many other tobacco j
growing sections, that it is not neces- .
sary to let tobacco ripen fully in the
field, but that t can be. cut green and ^
ripened in the curing barn. While this
is true to a certain extent tobaeo thus
treated always loses in color, texture .
and aroma. (Consequently, tobacco
well ripened before cutting w'll bring
more money in any market today than
C
the ame grade and weight that was
c
cut green.

l The Terrible Pains in Back and
Sides. Cardui Gave Relief.
Marksville, La.?Mrs. Alice Johnson.
1 of this place, writes: "For one year I ,
suffered with an awful misery in my back
and sides. My left side was hurting me
all the time. The misery was something
awful.
I could not do anything, not even sleep
r at night. It kept me awake most of the
night ... I took different medicines, but
nothing did me any good or relieved me
until I took Cardui. . .
1 I was not able to do any of my work
' for one year and I got worse all the time,
1 was confined to my bed off and on. I got
so bad with my back that when I stooped
" down I was not able to straighten up
' again ... I decided I would try Cardui
' ... By time I had taken the entire bottle
i was feeling pretty good and could
1 straighten up and my pains were nearly
; all gone.
4 I shall always praise Cardui. I con"
tinued taking it until i was stronsr and
* well." If you suffer from pains due to
' female complaints, Cardui may be just
1 what you need. Thousands of women
who once suffered in this way now praise
' Cardui for their present good health.

ACK DEMPSEY WINS TITLE
FROM CHAMPION WILLARD
Last Friday, at Toledo, Ohio, Jack
)empsey became the Champion heavy-weight
pugilist of the world by deeating
Jens Willard in three rounds
f a bout that was scheduled to go
welve.
Willard, who outweighed his anagonist
by forty pounds was a favorte
in the betting, although the wise
ing followers touted Dempsey. It
* estimated that 40,000 people saw
he fight and that the receipts were
ri the neighborhood of $500,000. The
ost of putting on the bout wus $400,- 1
100. i
Willard received $100,000 and Jack
lempsey although the winnor only
:ot $J7,000. This was due to the fact
hat \V Hard, being the champion und
orrpity not having attained much
eputnt.on in the heavy-weight chamtionship
class the latter had to concnt
himself with any arrangements
le could make.
The battle lasted nine minutes. Many
ight fans who had traveled thousands
f miles and paid as high as $60 to sec
his exhibition must have reulized
hat they got mighty little for their
ime and money. However, the cost
f prize fights has not advanced out
f proportion to necessities, to say
lothing of luxiries.
Willard w.s clearly outclassed as a
igmer irom me lirsi cuing ol ttio i
onj;. Dempsey sailed in and hamlered
the big felow all over the face
nd body as soon as they got the sigal
to go. For about thirty seconds
V'illaril looked as if he was going to
e in the game but that was all. When
ack felt him out and saw how or.
was to land he planted a haymaker
n the champion's eye that settled
he whole business, although Willard
tood ut> and stopped Deinpsey'g wal-'
>ps for two more rounds before he j
new he was licked.
When the gong sountled for the
ourth round to begin Wilard had
omc to realize that he had ended his
nreer as a lighter. He had enough,
le was able to get up, but he had his
1100,000 earned, he got his win or
ose, so he sat still and his seconds
hrcw up the sponge.
Dempsey didn't have a mark on
lim. Willard had u black eye, a swolen
cheek and black and blue marks
til over his body.
Willard's wife saw the fight and exiresed
herself as perfectly satisfied
ier big husband had lost the champinship.
They are now proceeding
>n their way to Kansas where they
have u hundred acres and five children.
Dempsey being champion, will remain
in the ring and defend the title.
He is 24 years of age. Willard is 37.
