Stirring Experiences.

The situation in Europe a!

peace party was given to the
members of the general assem-
bly, in Columbia Tuesday night
by Lieutenant Governor Andrew
Jackson Bethea, who was a mem
ber of the Ford party of pacifica.
tion. The lieutenant governor
gave an account of his expert.
ences in the neutral and belliger,
ent countries during his peace
trip. The address was delivered
to the senate and house in Joint
session.
The lieutenant governor de-
MED that there was any split in
the party going over on the ship.
He said he did not sign the reso-
luton condemning the prepared,
ness policy of President Wilson.
He also stated that the expedi-
tion cost Henry Ford $500,OO0.
He does not favor peace at any
price, he said.
In speaking of the trip Mr.. Be
thea said in part:
What was the purpose of the
expedition? In reply to this
question | will say that no cause
was ever more misrepresented.
Say what you may, Henry Ford
has got sense. He did not set
out with the crazy idea that he
would stO0 the war before
Christmas, or that he could stop
it at all. His expedition was
spectacular demonstration in be-
half of a great cause-a booster
trip for peace, if you please. And
why not? You have booster trips
for business, to build up your
town, for good roads, to extend
suffrage, to advance education
and to spread the Gospel. Why
should a man be ridiculed be-
cause he happens to have the
money and a heart that gives
him the desire to spend it boost
ing the great cause of peace :?
Henry Ford believes in the Won
derful power of suggestion. He
wanted to set the world to talk
ing peace. He wanted to create
a sentiment for it. His great
heart longed, as he told me, to
scratch the surface of the move
ment. If he could be helpful in
ending the war but day earlier
he would be willing to spend his
fortune, for thus he would save
$4,000 human lives.
Did it succeed or fail? The an
swer to this question depends
upon what you call success or
failure.

working in banks, in stores and
hotels, and acting as agents at
the railroad stations. From this
you would Judge that men were
scarce. But if you turn upon the
busy streets and see the men
moving to and fro, if you go to
camp grounds and recruiting and
railroad stations and see the
thousands of splendid soldiers
equipped for battle you would
think the war had just begun.

Treat Our Men as We
Treat Foes, Berlin Plea
ADVERTISEMENT

Berlin. Nov. (by wireless to Say
yille).-The Reichstag to-day dis
cussed the treatment Of war prisoners.
Prince Won Schoenaich, of the National
Liberty party, says the Overseas News
Agency, reported as follows on the pro
ceedings Of the committee which con
sidered that question:
with great sadness and profound in
dignaton. the committee took notice
of the great suferings of Germans
made prisoner. This is especially true
Of Russia, where numerous cases OF
brutal treatment have been proved;
and also in British camps, from which
there are numerous complaints.
"The prisoners often are forced 10
work under degrading conditions. Ere
ouently they must toll in 40 degrees OF
cold or under a burning sun, and often
physical brutality is added TO this. The
food in many places is most scanty, de-
ficient and badly prepared"
Prince Won Schoenalch acknow edged
the kind exertions of the Holy See 20
improve the fate Of the prisoners.
Matthias Erzberger, leader OF the Cler-
zeal Centre, expressed thanks TO the
Pope snd the population Of Switzerland
for humane actions toward war prison
ers
The whole House agreed when II was
stated that beyond any doubt Germans
would be glad if their imprisoned coun-
trymen were treated everywhere as
well as war prisoners in Germany.

VOTE CONSPIRACY
SEEN BY GREGORY
Attorney General Says
$4,000 Negroes Have Been
Brought from South

Washington, Nov. Am official esti-
mate that 10000 negroes have been
transported recently from the South
into Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and other
states was made by the Department or
Justice tonight in n statement declar-
ing that a number Of the negroes have
fraudulently registered, and that other
election frauds disclosed include pad
ding of registration lists reaching into
thousands of false names in one city
alone.
The statement, issued with the sane
ton Of Attorney General Gregory,
gives warning that conspiracies to in
timidate voters will be promptly prose
cuted. 10 is the departments first Off
cal announcement that actual cases ~
fraud have been developed by its in
vestigators.

says the statement, Section 10 of the
Penal Code makes it an offence against

sons 70 conspire TO intimidate any citi-
zen in the free exercise or enjoyment
of any right or privilege secured to
him by the Constitution and laws or
the United States, or TO punish him
for having exercised such right, and
the courts have held that one Of the
rights so secured is the right to vote
for Federal officers and to have the
votes fairly counted and the result
correctly returned.
"Conspiracies to intimidate voters in
the free exercise of the right TO vote
for Federal officers are violations of
Federal law. Such a conspiracy need
not be consummated, and even an overt
act is not essential; nor is intimida-
ton confined to acts of physical vio-
lence. The development of such condi-
tons will result in prompt prosecu-
tions.
Omitted States district attorneys and
Investigators have been instructed to
be fair and non-partisan in investiga-
tions and prosecutions.

ment of Justice shows that within the

Paris, Nov. S.-To-day'S Official
report says:
South of the Somme the artillery
fighting was fairly lively in the sectors
OF Lihons and Chilly. A surprise at
tack was carried out BY US against
German trenches west of Lsuchurt.
On the right bank of the Meuse Yer
dun 'front.' the night was relatively
calm. Yesterday the enemy, owing 20
the violence of our bombardment, which
had continued several days, evacuated
Fort Vaux during the afternoon, with
out waiting for an attack by our IN
fantry, whose pressure was becoming
closer and closer.
Very heavy explosions were heard IN
the fort. During the night our in
fantry, which had gone up quite close
to the fort, occupied this very impor-
tant work without any loss. The belt
of interior forts of Verdun is now re-
established in its entirety and IS held
firmly by our troops.

GERMANS CENTRE ALL
ON RUMANIAN DRIVE

Paris, Nov. 3.-lmpor-
tant conclusions are drawn
here from the evacuation OF
Fort Vaux by the Germans.
The chief of these is the
belief that the Germans. con-
sidering the Western front as
now of comparatively sec
ondary Importance, intend to
reduce their operations on
the Verdun front to a mini
mum and will direct their
main energies to the cam
paign against RumanIa.
The newly established
Ministry Of Munitions in
Germany is regarded by mill
tary observers here as the
result of the Germans having
experienced the superiority
of the Entente Allies in
artillery and munitions along
the Somme front.

It isn't often that the belongings
of a right good sheriff ale ex

that is what was done here last
Saturday night, when Shep Gard.
ner, long known ASIA notorious
boot-legger here, did, getting a
shoulder Of fine meat from Geo.

Gardner giving Jones a brand-new,

the shoulder of meat.

a big Sunday dinner at Shops
home, with his kith and kin there
to enjoy it-had not Walter LaFon
and Deputy Bullock come along
about the time the exchange was
made, Shep was coming from the
Jail stable, where Jones had de-
posted the meat in a buggy, Shep
having the meat underneath his
coat, and when Walter walked up
he inquired, "What you got there,
nigger?" The jig was up, and
Shep told where and how he got
the meat. Examination showed
that the sheriff's meat supply was
shy just one shoulder.
The negro was locked up, and a
search made of Shops domicile,
just across the street from the Jail,
seven full grown pints of Messy
Dell being found in trunk. This
was too much liquor for one negro
as small and young as Shop, the
sheriff surmised, and it, too, was
taken to the Jail for safe keeping
Two warrants were issued for

the other Bookkeeping. He was
given a hearing before ESQ, I. a.
