CANE NOT HURT
BY FROSTS OF

SUMTER CROP is EXCELLENT
Only Seed Cane Has Been
Cut As Yet

Another white frost yesterday morn
ing put the finishing touches upon
Gotten that had escaped the first on
slaught of Jack Frost several days ago
and other tender vegetation was nip
ped as we'll. Farmers in the city stat
ed, however, that this latest frost, al
though heavier than the first, had not
injured sugar cane, and this import
ant crop will continue its growth for
some time yet. Cane seed Tor the
next years planting has been cut down
and bedded. but the large fields
green, scattered throughout the coun-
ty, is ripening and growing sweeter
each day. The cane crop of Sumter is
an important one, and thousands Of
barrels of excellent syrup will be made
this fall by the thrifty cane planters.

Georgia Carrie Nation
Yields Ak on a Still
and Arrests the Tiger

Rome, Ca, Oct. 29.-(Special) )-The
interesting story of a Georgia Carrie
Nation, Mrs. H. Hunt, of Chattooga
county, was related in United States
Commissioner Printup's court here.
when she related how she destroyed a
moonshine still with an ak. Mrs. Hunt
was accompanied in the raid and 70
court by two neighboring women, and
the three had determined to stop the
making of moonshine whiskey, which
they declared was running the men of
their families.
Suspecting where the still was oper-
ated, they made their way through the
Chattooga county mountains to hol-
low in the hills, where they found the
outfit in operation, but alarmed by
their approach the men fed. Mrs.
Hunt welded the ak vigorously and IN
few moments had made a wreck of
the copper coil, the costly still and
the other apparatus. She then in
formed the revenue officers, who ar
rested Grady Kingsley, a mountaineer
charged with illicit distilling, and he
was bound over to the November term
CT federal court by Commissioner
Printup. Three other men are sus-
pected of completely, and warrants
have been issued for them.

CROWDS CONTINUE

GRDOVER WILL RESIGN
PRESIDENCY OF LEAGUE

President Groover will not be a can
didate for reelection as head of the
Empire league for another season.
This much is sure. He has mailed out
notice to every director of the league
informing them that he will tender his
resignation when the league meets il
November.
The date for the league meeting has
not as yet been definitely decided up
on. The place OF meeting is also still
undecided. We would suggest Cordele
as a fine place for the next meeting. 1t
is as centrally located as any city IN
the league and it is time that the
towns up in this neck of the woods be
given the pleasure of entertaining the
mcguls.
Several matters of Importance will
come up at the meeting 1t is sup
posed that small raise will be made
in the salary limit Needless expenses
will be cut out and new regulations
will be drawn up. The directors have
learned many things from the first
season and it is to be expected that
the second year of the league will be
even larger success than the first.

EUROPEAN POWERS WILL AWAIG
ACTION OF UNITED STATES
IN FORMULATING THEIR FU.
TURE POLICY.
PRESIDENT WILSON HOLDS
CONFERENCE WITH BRYAN
England, France and Germany Agree
To Wait on This Country Before
Taking Action.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 29.-Secre-
tary Bryan said today that formal
pean governments, asking them 10
suspend the formulation of a policy
towards Mexico until the United
States had defined its attitude. While
England, France and Germany, he
said, had already been heard from,
it is expected that the other govern
ments will follow the three great
powers in awaiting the decision of
the United States as to the next step
an bringing peace intot Mexico.
President Wilson had an early con-
ference with Secretary Bryan today
and the secretary stated afterwarl
that they were at work on the next
step in the policy that will be pur-
sued. 1t is expected that the United
States will first make formal demand
for the elimination of Provisional
President Huerta and the conduct of
fair and free elections, possibly with
some safeguards to systematic the
election machinery.
There was absolutely no comment
forthcoming, however, from execn-
tive quarters as to just what was in
tended by the United States, but II
was generally agreed in official cir
cles that some positive action looking
toward a solution of the problem
would be in line with the expectations
of the powers.
Steps to secure new election
would involve negotiations with the
constitutionalists, and there is a
confidence among administration Off
cials that if guarantee for free cam
paign can be arranged thi ugh the
establishment of provisional au-
thority at Mexico City, acceptable 70
the constitutionalists, the latter are
likely to fall into line.
The sailing today of four American
battleships from Hampton Roads u
relieve those at Vera Cruz marks the
first step On the part of the United
States toward complying with recent
declarations of Huerta that foreign
ships had been too long in Mexican
waters. The battleships Rhode Island,
Virginia, Nebraska and New Jerse7,
