no evidence to convict anyone until
the buyer received his information
Monday that the alleged stolen cot
ton was about to be sold.

New York, Oct. 2O.-After thor
oughly studying the. plan of disinte-
grafton that has been filed by the
American Tobacco Company with the
Judges Of the United States Circuit
Court, the Attorneys General Of Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and South Car
olina, who have been here for two
days, reached the conclusion late to-
day that the proposed plan will Of
fer no relief to tobacco growers Of
this country. They freely express
the belief that, should the plan be
adopted. the victory Of the Govern
ment resulting from the decision of
the United States Supreme Court
would mean barren one"
The conferees decided to file to-
morrow a petition in the United
States Circhit Court, asking that the
Southern States represented at the
conference be permitted to file writ
ten objections to the plan of dissolu-
ton, and to be heard at the hearing
set for October 80.
Attorney General w. w. Beckett,
of North Carolina, and Attorney Gen.
eral j. Fraser Lyon, Of South Caro-
lima, and Attorney General Williams,
OF Virginia, participated in the con-
ference to determine whether the
plan carried out the decree of the
Supreme Court, and would give
Southern tobacco planters and 9TH

They talked over the situation with

SUMTER TEAM IS DEFEATED.
SUMTER BOYS SHOW LACK OF
EXPERIENCE, But PLAY
GRITTY GAME.
outlaw, Mckeithan, Bristow and
Coggcshell for Darlington and De.
Lorme, Brown, Scarborough and
DuRant for Sumter Play Star Ball.

The game of football between the
sumter High school and the St.
Jonn's High school Of Darlington at
Darlington Friday afternoon was a
lively one from start to finish. and
while the Darlington boys came out
ahead the game showed that the
Sumter boys have the goods and will
be able to do some fine ball playing
before the season is over.
The score as called by the referee
was 21 to L. the Darlington bows
having made three touchdowns in the
first half and one in the third quar-
ter and having only one goal to their
credit. On the other hand the Sum
ter boys made two touch downs in
the last quarter and were on their
way to make the third when the
game ended. The game was a good
one, but it showed the lack of ex-
perience in defensive work on the
part of the Sumter boys. While the
boys played we'll they were some-
what excited and"a little ratified dur
ing the first part of the game and
were unable to put forth their best
efforts. Later in the game they
steadied down and did some good
hard playing. The loss Of the game
was probably due to the fact that
the Sumter boys have not had any
scrubs to play against them to
strengthen them on their defensive
work
The scoring was done in each
quarter. In the first quarter Darling
ton made two touch downs, in the
second they made one more and in
the third they added another. The
Sumter boys got worked up to fight
ing pitch by this time and they went
In to work. two touch downs being
the result Of their efforts.
For Darlington all of the back
field, which consisted Of old players,
did fine work. McKeithan who ran
his team here last year so well and
did such good work in winning from
the Sumter boys, was still in good
form and able to hold his team we'll
in hand and run them to another
victory. Outlaw, Bristow and Cog
geshell, who will be remembered
here last year, also did good work.
For Sumter all of the old men play
ed good ball. Brown on the defen-
sive showed up especially strong.
DuRant at full made gains every
time he carried the ball and played
star game for Sumter, being prob
ably the most consistent ground
gamer on either team. DeLorme did
some good work at half as did Hayns-
worth. Scarborough, though a new
man in the game, held his place at
center with the stubborness of a vet
eran. He was a pillar Of strength to
his team, playing an almost perfect
game. The other men did well, but
showed their need of experience.
During the coming week the team
will be given some hard practice
and will be put in form for the ap-
preaching game with the high school
from Marion which comes here next
Friday.
