ILLEGAL TRADING In GERMANY
TO MISREPRESENTATION

New York, aug II. Starvation
would be the portion probably of the
larger German cities did they not in
crease their scanty stores through
illegal trading" Deputy Won Herr
berg-Lottom said in food debate
in the Prussian lower house, ac-
cording to the Berlin Tageblatt.
"The larger cities of Germany are
obtaining one-quarter of their neces-
sary stock of foodstuffs through IL
legal trading without that they
would starve," the deputy asserted.
"The increasing severity of penal
ties heighten the risk of indulging in
secret trading and raises prices" he
continued. There are now 100000
persons employed by the war food adj
ministration and that under the cir
cumstances we deliver 80 eggs per
year per person Is really no heroic
deed"
Other speakers told of pitiable con-
ditions in Austria Hungary. Count
Stolberg said:
II have seen now In Austria that
the rich man has everything, the poor
man nothing. II is pity to see how
the poor people there are suffering
from hunger. In comparison to con-
ditions there things in our country
are much better"
"In Budapest In rich Hungary the
poor wait in line all night for the 30
gram fat ration. and then they dont
receive it, Major Koch of Cassel said.
The illegal or secret trading re-
ferred to probably means that the
German cities violate the law which
fixes a maximum price for food and
prohibits consumers from paying
more than that price. German Off
Gals have attempted to stop such vio-
lations by some cities.

TWICE A WEEK, sl.5G A fEAB
TO CELEBRATE BEGINNING
FREEDOM FRENCH PEOPLE.

The 14th Of July marks the ami
versary of the destruction Of the Bas-
tile which is the dawn of freedom
for the French people and tie first
symptom of the French revolution,
and the day is to be celebrated in
Newberry with appropriate services
at the Methodist church at $50 p. m
which service will take the place Of
the regular Sunday evening union
service.
The destruction of the Bastile took
place on July IA, 1889, and the his
tories tell us that it marked the first
violent symptom Of the French revo-
luton. And we take it the day has
been celebrated in France in the same
manner that we celebrate our glorious
fourth. And ac he French people
this year observed our fourth it Is
fitting and proper that we should OBJ
serve their 14th.
Several short addresses will be
made at the service Sunday evening.

DR.. Van Smiths mother, Mrs. Mary
E. Smith, died at the home of her
eldest son, Mr.. mo. L. Smith, near
Seneca, at / O'Clock last Friday af-
ternoon after an illness Of three
months following an acute attack OF
digestion. Mrs. Smith was in her
S9th year and enjoyed good health
throughout her long life. She faded
away just as flower droops and
dies at the close of its beautiful life,
or as the fire of a furnace burns out
at the close of day and the chill Of
night cools the flickering embers,
even so the spark Of her life vanished
in the darkness of earthly death, but
only to be revived the brighter in the
land of eternal rest. Mrs. Smith was
the widow Of the late Rev. C. Nc
Kendree Smith, and is survived by 5
sons, the two above mentioned and

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE POWERLESS TO ACT
But NOT POWERLESS TO TALK

set at $50 There was some disagree
ment of opinion as to when the can
didate elected for the short term will
take his seat but the prevailing judg-
ment was that the term of Senator
Christie Benet, appointed to succeed
Senator Tillman, will expire immed-
lately upon the election of Senator
Benet's successor. However. the
committee did not go on record as to
this matter as it was out OF it's pur-
view. The committee likewise de-
cided to have distinct ballots for can
didates offering for short terms.
Ex-Governor John Gary Evans was
unanimously elected State executive
committeeman to the national con-
vention to succeed the late Senator
Tillman until the meeting of the nex5
State convention in 1920. when that
body will have to make the selection.
Gen. Willie Jones, of Columbia, for
years treasurer Of the party in Souti.
Carolina. withdrew his candidacy
when he found that friends Of Mr..
Evans were stressing the ex-Govern-
or.
The committee unanimously adopt
ed resolutions deploring the death Of
Senator Tillman and lanenting his
loss to the State and the nation.
Evans Discusses Changes.
Chairman Evans, avoiding the call
ing of names in prefacing his formal
address to the committee. stated that
the members of that body were the
watchmen On the tower of South
Cardinals Democracy and to them
was entrusted the task of keeping the
party clean and above suspicion He
told of the charges, iterated and re-
iterated by certain factional leaders
in South Carolina that the commit
tees, past and present, were partisan
and corrupt md called on the men,
bers to stamp the libel in no uncer-
tain way. He charged that these lead
.erss are trying-ta aAndermine the con-
fdence of the people in the Demo-
cratic party of South Carolina, and
stated in his opinion, that they should
be read out of the party. He quoted
United States Senator as saying
that if these politicians were not
kicked out of the party the decent
people Of the State will leave it.
T. Yancey Williams, of Lancaster,
said that Messrs. Blease and McLau-
rim should be tried by the party OF
the allegations made and if proved
guilty, kicked out of the party. I
for one, am in favor of kicking them
out of the party" he continued.
y r. H. Ketchin, of Fairfield, made
motion to appoint committee of five
20 investigate the charges. calling
the accused candidates before it, and
recurring hem to show cause why
they should not be excluded from the
Democratic party and debarred from
the Democratic primary. Chairman
Evans ruled that the executive COM
mittee could do this under the rules,
but the motion was later tabled upon
motion OF Edgar A. Brown of Barn
