effect was to leave Congress, all

expressions of Senators. The
President, himself. after his ad-

The chief points of the Presi-

That a lasting peace in Europe

either side.
That peace must be followed
by definite concert of power

Prof John Terry did come
back from Georgia. And he
didn't stop at that, but came
right along down here and walk
ed in, rolling up his sleeves like
Jack Johnson might have done,
and called for the writer of this
column. Fortunately we were
away at that time. Then on
the following day or the next
he walked right up on us in a
place where we had little chance
to run, and we made as if we
too wanted to fight. Then the
professor grinned, and began to
tell about their trip. They,
meaning Messrs. John, !. w.
and Ed Terry, Zeb Smith and
Adam Mills, visited in TatnaIl
and Evans counties Georgia
where they saw many people
who formerly lived in this sec

he made a fairly hard road on

plowing up and then dragging
after each ram. He intends to

keep it smooth with a drag. We

The old idea of using the six
foot road for both ditch and road
is a back number. When the
writer sees rows on each side of
a narrow sand road running
right out and emptying the wa

routes and bank up clean white
sand two feet deep right in the
road for every poor horse to

ENTHUSIASM AT MIDDLEBURY.
War Convention Attracted Large Number
of People.

Middlebury, Oct. l7.--There was big
turnout Tuesday afternoon at the town
hall to attend the Addison county war
convention, the auditorium and gallery
and vestibule being crowded with people
from this and surrounding towns. The
high school was closed. Seated on the
stage were the veterans of the Civil and
Spanish wars, members of the school
committee and committee of arrange
ments.
President John NJ Thomas of Middle
bury college presided, introducing as re
speaker, Joseph +. O'Toole, assistant sec
retary of the United States Senate,
whose address was along patriotic lines.
He was followed by Prof William B.
Guthrie, PROFESSOR of civics at the College
of New York, who spoke on the under.
lying causes of the present war and the
size of the proposition.
The next>speaker was Newton w. Gil
bert, ex-governor of the Philippine is
lands, who told his audience what the
flag meant to the people in far lands and
said: 1--WE will win the war if all do
their part and we and all other nations
will be better than ever"
Charles Bigelow, representing Herbert
Hoover, food administrator, gave the au-
1ience an idea what was being done in
that department in the handling and CON
servation of foodstuffs.

INJURED AT QUARRY.
James Morrison Is at City Hospital for
Care.

James Morrison, quarryman en-
ployed at the Boutwell,, Milne & Varnum
quarries in Graniteville was brought 10
the City hospital yesterday to receive
treatment for injuries incurred in an ac-
cident which happened while two derricks
were being used to lift big stone. Mr..
Morrison was about to release the block
from the rope chain, when the block
slipped. Yards of slack in the rope be-
came taut with the loosening of the
stone, and when the rope quickly tight
ened, the quarryman was struck in he
head. The stone slid only a few feet,
but the movement was perceptible
enough to send the rope against the quar-
ryman. Dr. L. II. Bailey was summoned
and it was discovered that Morrison had
sustained painful contusions about the
face and head. 1t was at first thought
that a skull fracture had occurred on the
head, as one of the contusions came in a
skull depression. Later, however, it was
learned that the depression was due to
an accident in which the patient figured
several years ago while a resident of
Scotland.
Mr. Morrison's recovery is only a mat
ter of time and it is not believed that
he will suffer any permanent disfgure-
nent. He is around 40 years of age.
His wife and children are in Scotland.

PICKETS GET SIX MONTHS.
Four Suffragists Received Heaviest Sen
tence Yet Imposed.

Washington, d. c., Oct. l7--Six months
each in the workhouse, the heaviest sen.
tence ever imposed on White House suf-
frage pickets, was imposed yesterday
on four by Judge Mullowney in police
court.
Asserting that the womens party will
not recognize any law in the making of
which women do not have a part, the
suffragettes announced that a monster
demonstration will be held in front of
the White House on Nov. 10.
The four who chose to go to Otcoquan
workhouse in preference TO paying S25
fine each were Miss Rose Winslow, New

FACE SUGAR SHORTAGE.
Eastern States Have No Promise of Re
lief Till November.

| Washington, ID. c., Oct. 1.-THE east
ern states face sugar shortage with M
prospect of relief before late in Novem
belt crops arrive. In statement last
night forecasting the shortage the food
administration again appealed to the
American people to cut down their con
sumption of candy and sweet drinks and
at the same time gave warning that re.
tailers already have received their stocks
at prices recently agreed on and the
public should pay no more during the
temporary scarcity, in the east than it
has been paying during the past 30 days.
The shortage is due, the administration
says, to the failure of the public outside
of few loyal homes to reduce consump-
tion and the unusual exports to France
in order that the French people may
have their meagre ration of one pound of
sugar per person month.
In regard to prices attention is called
to the fact that by agreement the price
of beet and Hawaiian sugar has been
fixed at seven and one-fourth cents
pound, Atlantic and Pacific seaboard
basis, under which the maximum retail
prices at interior points should be eight
and one-fourth cents, while by an agree
ment with the cane refners and Cuban
producers the price of cane sugar has
been held down so that it should reach
the consumer at about nine cents a
pound The administration notes that
it still is waiting reply to its appeal
10 the Louisiana producers to join in the
agreement.
"There will be temporary shortage in
he supply of sugar to the area north OF
savannah and east of Pittsburg," the
ood administration statement said,
during the latter part of October and
he month of November, pending the ar
ival in the market of new sugar. The
,eet sugar factories in the western states
re rapidly coming into action, and, to-
ether with the Hawaiian production will
e able in a short time to take care of
he sugar supply in the area west OF the
erritory referred to-"
