Some Of ;he more optimistic saw the
complete Generalization of the Ameri-

fully at the contemplated discontinue
of the United States makers. However.
the proposition seems TO have missed

SUMTER LADY INJURED.
As Policeman Cranks Her Auto His
Pistol Falls and Shoots.

What was a most unusual accident
caused painful, but not serious, in
jury to Mrs. George P. Epperson OF
Sumter Tuesday. While cranking
Mrs. Epperson's car for her a pistol
dropped from the pocket Of Police
man ]. N. Lawrence and the weapon
was discharged, the ball striking Mrs
Epperson In the leg near the knee
and making its way for nearly foot
through the flesh before 1t emerged
Just below the thigh. After the ac-
cident Mrs. Epperson was taken tc
the hospital, where 1t was found that
none Of the main blood vessels had
been cut and the bullet had not
struck the bone. While the wound is
said to be very painful, 1t Is flesh
wound and not considered serious,
although it is probable that Mrs. Ep-
person will have to remain at the
hospital for some time.
The accident occurred when Mrs.
Epperson came from a store and
started to crank the car. The police
man offered to crank it for her and
she was standing the sidewalk a few
feet away directing him when the
pistol dropped. Policeman Lawrence
had his pistol in holster, but 1t was
not belted in. He stated that he had
always been accustomed to carrying g
it this way and 1t had mover fallen
out before, even when making arrests
and holding anruly prisoners. He
deeply deplores the occurrence, al do
the other members Of the police de-
partment.

FARMER IS SHOT.
Camden is Scene Of Shooting Follow.
ing Previous ARRAY.

Joe Simpson, a prominent farmer
of the Blaney neighborhood, near
Camden, was shot and wounded about
the face and shoulder Tuesday morn
ing at II o'clock by T. c. Sessions,
another farmer of the same neighbor-
hood. Earl Simpson, son OF Joe
Simpson, who Tuesday night came to
Camden to have a warrant taken out
for Sessions, said that he and his
father and younger brother and ne
gro were gathering corn in field
near the public road when Sessions
rode by in his buggy. Shortly after
wards, he said, Sessions passed them
again. He said that they continued
their work and that he was some dis
lance from his father. Some time
after Sessions had passed the field
the second time, Simpson said, the
younger boy called out to his father
to look out, that Sessions was going
to shoot. No sooner had the son CIV
en- the alarm than Simpson started to
turn around but was shot before do
ing so, the son declared. Mr.. Simp-
son, who was wounded, ran and Ses-
sions followed him for some distance,
but did not fire again.
Several months ago Henry Sessions
drove up to Simpsons gin house and
following an alteration Simpson shot
and killed him. Simpson was later
released on bond and his son. Earl
Simpson, who was indicted as an &C
cessory to the killing, was released
at the primary hearing. Earl Simp-
son said that his father had been
warned several times that T. G. Ses-
sions would "get him" in case he was
acquitted but as the trial would not
come of until next week tho family
did not regard the threats seriously.
It Is not known yet whether Simp-
sons wounds will be healed enough
to allow him to stand trial then or
not.

STRIKE STILL GOES ON
INDIANAPOLIS POLICE REFUSE
TO RIDE IN CARS.
Say They Will March With Cars,
Fight, Use Clubs and Face Missiles
But Won't Ride.

The abrupt refusal of thirty mem
bers Of the Indianapolis police force
to ride with breakers caused
the fourth day Of the street car strike
to pass without car service at Indian
apolis. The policemen turned IN
their badges which were returned
with orders to remain on patrol duty.
1t was announced that charges would
be preferred against all after the
strike had been settled.
An unusually large number OF men
were on the streets, due to the cleo
tion holiday, but little rioting Was
reported. The strikers and sympa-
thizers gathered at large meeting
on the courthouse grounds and cheer
ed several ministers who ccunseled
them to avoid violence. Resolutions
denouncing violence were passed by
the strikes.
The refusal o. the police to act
came when a car was manned by
strike-breakers for a trial trip. The
first three squads Of ten policemen
refused to get on the cars, and the
reserve squad protested so vigorous
| ly that it was decided to give up the
trip.
The policemen said they would
march with the car, would fight IN
the streets; use their guns and clubs
at risks to themselves and face the
missiles of the crowd, but they would
not board the cars.

FOR THE PEOPLES GOOD
Currency Bill Was Revisad IN the
Interest OF tho Public.

The currency bill now before Con-
gress, which has the unqualified en-
dorsement Of President Wilson and
his Administration involves three
fundamental principles:
First: Tho notes issusd RusA be Is
sued by the government and not BY
the banks.
Second: The issue mus. hs con-
trolled by public servants and not BY
private institutions or individuals.
Third: The emergency currency
issued must be issued through state
banks as vel! ss through national
banks.
The bill a. prepared observes these
three requirements. The right Of the
government to issue money 10 not
surrendered to the banks; the con-
troll over the money 70 issued Is not
relinQuished by the government: and
national banks are not given o mon
opoly Of the benefits flowing from the
issue OF these emergency notso. but
must share the benefits with tho State
banks in the several States. This 10 a
good feature Of tho measure. and will
help the state banks and distribute
the emergency notes quicker than II
their distribution had to bs made BY
the national banks alone.
The regional reserve banks will
prove Of great advantage to business.
Each reserve bank will be CONNER
cial center and this center viii be
much nearer to the extremes than
the few large cities are to tho banks
which have been compelled to reach

g1onsl reserve banks viii sfvs b the

present system-a security which will
go far toward preventing panios.
President '. son has his heart set
On the passas. Of the currency bill.
and we hope he will have his utsneT
gratifed, as It In to the interests Of
the country to have It passed a. soon
as possible. It will eliminate Wall
Street as the manipulator Of the eur
rency Of the country and thus slimi-
nate also ready-msds panies IN the

country and should be promptly pass

tional banks are fighting It. bat that

SPIES IN GEM MINES
DETECTIVES WATCH SOUTH AF.
RICAN DIAMOND MINES.
Trained Men Pose as Inscriptions
Buyers to Trap Workers After They
Have Been Four Months in Mines.

Four thousand detectives and spies
are employed to protect the fabulous
wealth Of the DeBaers diamond mines
near Kimberley, South Africa. They
work within the compounds or guard
fences with the 1000 Europeans and
1900 native Kafirs, or as unscrup-
uious diamond buyers on the outside.
In spite of their vigilance and e1-
treme care, the DeBeers assert the
leakage" last year was nearly S2,-
100000 and that the average for a
number Of years has been near the
100000 mark.
Illicit diamond buyers have made
a fortune in South Africa despite the
activities Of detectives. They are
still buying, but the penalty for haV-
ing uncut and unregistered diamonds
in hand has been made extremely
severe, and stolen diamonds are be-
coming less. A man caught with an
unregistered gem is doomed to many
years in prison.
The Kafirs, or native blacks, are
kept within the compounds four
months at time and are not allowed
to leave the holdings OF the company
until five days after they have left
the mines. This is to prevent their
swallowing diamonds in an effort to
carry them to their homes. In order
to prevent escapes practically 1000
miles Of barbed wire fence has been
strug about the mines. Entangle'
ments charged with electricity are g
terror to the hearts Of the native
blacks and few attempt to escape
even after stealing gems.
Since the swallowing method o1
stealing has become futile, Katiri
wrap diamonds in pieces Of cloth OF
tin and throw them over the fence tt
spot which the chief can keep II
mind until he gets out Guards watct
these and usually foil the thief in hi:
scheme.
Every diamond mine in the Kim
berley region Is registered. Size
weight, shape, color and appearance
are taken and with these to go by de-
tectives have little difficulty tracing
thefts when stones are found in the
possession. OF natives or suspicion:

PRACTICAL ULTIMATUM

President Huerta has been told he

the American charge d'afiaires, act
ing under instructions from the State

Senior Rabago late Sunday present
ed the memorandum to his chief, but
up to Monday e. ,ning President HUI
erta had returned no answer, and, as
far as could be learned, had guarded
It's contents from all Of his official
and intimate counsellors. Those who
learned Of the Washington note re-
gard Gen. Huerta's position as one in
which he will be forced to give one Of
two answers-point blank refusal to
comply with the demand, possibly 60
ing 30 far as to hand the diplomatic
representative his passports, or the
Official elimination Of himself.
Those most intimate with the Pres
ident insist that the latter course will
not be taken for many reasons, chief
among which Is that such action
would tantamount to submission to
the rebels. Official Mexico no longer
Is in doubt that the Washington Ad-
m1nistration fayors the rebels cause,
and Is convinced that this Is the
means adopted by President Wilson

Gen. Huerta Monday night sum-
moned the diplomatic corps to the
national palace, but for what pur-
pose was not revealed. Three Of the
ministers, those Of Germany, Norway

LIFT TO THE FARMERS
Democratic Administration Is Giving
Them a Helping Hand.

In an address before the Interna-
tional Farmers Congress at Tula, Ok
iahoma, last week, United States Sen
ator Gore, who Is very near President
Wilson, gave assurance that legisla-
ton tending to better the condition
Of the American farmer would be con-
sidered by Congress Immediately after
the pending currency bill is dispos-
ed Of. Senator Gore declared, too, as
a result Of the recent investigation OF
rural credits in Europe plan would
be devised whereby money with
which to raise the crops would be
loaned to the farmer at four per cent.
interest.
President Wilson and his Admin
istration has already done much for
the farmers Of the South and West
by loaning out Government money to
the banks to move the crops. Had
this action not been taken, Wall
Street would have precipitated q
ready-made panic and made money
scarce. Farmers need only to let
their minds run back few years
when Wall Street brought on Danics
and forced them to sell their cotton
and other produce below the cost OF
production, to realize what President
Wilson and his Administration has
done for them by making money
plentiful.
Had not Wall Street been checked
by President Wilson and his Admin
istration, who gave the money trust
notice that 1t would not be allowed
to hold up and rob the farmers as
they had done In years gone by, cot
ton never would have sold this sea-
son for more than seven or eight
cents per pound. Wall Street was
getting ready to bring on money
panic by boarding money in It's banks,
when President Wilson and Secretary
McAdoo gave notice that the Gov
ernment had money and that it would
be used to aid the farmers In moving
their crops.
This knocked Wall Street out of
the box completely, and the bankers
up there loosened up at once, and
gave out that there was plenty Of
money. Just before this they were
writing the Southern and Western
bankers who have to borrow money
to move the crops that money was
awful tight and that squally times
was ahead. They were getting ready
to squeeze the farmers Of the South
and West out Of their hard earned
dollars, and they would have done it
too if it was not for the fact that the
Government at Washington was in
the hands Of honest men, who are
true friends Of the people.
In the face Of what has already
happened, it does not surprise US to
hear that President Wilson and his
Administration are planning to do
more for the farmers OF the country
President Wilson is great and good
man, and he knows what he Is doing
not only for the farmers. but for the
whole country. Ali right thinking
men should do what they can to hold
up his hands. He is having some lit
tie trouble with the currency bill, but
we think he will get it through as he
wants it. finally. Why Governor
Blease should denounce and abuse
man who has done as much for our
farmers as President Wilson has. Is
one thing we can not understand.
