SPECIAL COURT TO TRY NEGRO.
Accused to Face Colleton Jury on
Criminal Assault Charge.

Walterboro, April 2.-Laurie
Rhodes, a negro boy, said to be less
than II years of age, will face jury
next Monday charged with attempt
ing criminally to assault white girl
near Lodge few weeks ago. Cover
nor Cooper, upon the showing made
by Solicitor George Warren, ordered
a special term of court for Monday
to try the negro. Judge McIver has
been assigned as special judge to try
this case. The grand jury will meet
Monday and will doubtless have no
trouble in returning a true bill
against the negro boy. 1t is not
thought the case will consume much
time as the facts seem to be clear
and there appears little room for
doubt as to the intent of the negro.
AS matter of precaution, Sheriff
Lucas G. Padgett sent the prisoner
to Columbia for safe keeping. He
will be returned to Walterboro in
time for the trial Monday morning.

MANY YEARS TO PAY.
Allies Fix Details of German In
denlnity.

Paris, April 6.-The council of
four on Saturday reached an agree
ment on the principles of the in
IDENTITIES and reparations to be paid
by Germany and examination of the
details will begin Immediately, the
newspapers say. 1t is not believed
there will be any disagreement as to
details and it is indicated that the
text of the financial terms will be
finished during the week.
The Echo de Paris says that com.
promises were affected on all debata-
BILE points regarding the sum to be
paid at once by Germany and the
payments in the future against the
opposition of the French govern
ment. 1t was, the paper says, to
distribute the future payments over a
term of 80 years. The payments for
the next few years were fixed.
The Journal says there are indica-
tions that the rights of France and
Belgium to participate in the pay
ments by Germany have been recog-
nized. The first German payment,
it says, will be 25,000,OO0,O00 francs
of which 5,OO0,000,000 will go to
pay for raw materials to insure the
resumption of German economic life.
France will get 0,000,000,000 francs
and Belgium 5,O00,O0O,OO0 of the
first payment. The rest of the in
demnity, the paper says, will cover a
period of 35 years.
Plans for continued occupation of
the left bank of the Rhine have been
abandoned and the allies will depend
upon an economic blockade as the
means of pressure on Germany. FL
nal agreement on the Rhine and
Saare Valley questions will be reach
ed before the end of the weel, it is
added. Increased optimism in diplo-
matte circles is noted by the press,
while in editorials the newspapers
express satisfaction over the progress
made on questions of reparation and
indemnity. It is pointed out that
each day of delay in reaching final
agreement adds to the loss of France.
The favorable solution of the Dan
zig question IS commented upon in
complimentary terms. The moral
and political advantages of the
agreement are emphasized by the pa
pers.

VICTIM OF ATTACK.
Negro Fiend Grabs Trained Nurse on
Street.

Columbia, April "a negro fend
made vicious attack on a trained
nurse at $50 o'clock yesterday
morning while she was walking on
the 1900 block of Hampton street.
The negro grabbed the young woman
but her screams frightened him and
he released his hold.
The nurse was on her way to the
hospital and she saw the figure of a
man before he made the attack. The
negro suddenly appeared in front Of
her, grabbing her throat with one
hand. She fought the negro furiously
and screamed for help, he loosened
his grip and ran off in the direction
of the Southern shops.
The screams attracted the atten-
tion of residents on the block and
crowd gathered in quick time. A
search was made for the assailant but
no trace could be found. The negro
is described as being short and stout,
wears a brown hat and was shabbily
dressed.
The, attack made upon the nurse
yesterday morning is similar to one
which occurred near the nurses home
in January, 1918. A nurse had al
most reached the home at 10 o'clock
at night when she was grabbed by a
man. Her screams caused the fiend
to release his hold and flee.
The police are working on the case
reported yesterday and will exert
every effort to capture the candidate
for the electric chair.

COTTON ACREAGE.
CUT 3l.08 PER CT.
REPORT FEATURES CONVENTION
OF S. G.. COTTON ASSOCIATION.
Represents Entire Belt
Cut i'm Fertilizer Estimated SO Per
Cent.-Senator, Smith, Reps.
Lever and Hefiin Speak.

Columbia, April 3.-More than
500 delegates from every county in
South Carolina assembled here today
for a convention featured by re-
port compiled by the central commit
tee of the South Carolina Cotton as
sociation of cotton acreage reduction
estimates from all cotton-growing
States, showing an estimated reduc-
tion of 31OS per cent. for the 1919
crop over that of 1918.
Accurate Report.
"The association has not only had
pledges on reduction carefully tabu-
lated and circulated" says the re-
port, "but has had a personal inves-
tigation made in each section for the
purpose of being as nearly accurate
as it is humanity possible to be in this
estimate. The association report is
certainly the most accurate report
ever issued for South Carolina, the
same being the result of practically
a personal canvass of the farmers of
the State. 1t is also probably the
most accurate report on all condi-
tions covered in the report ever is
sued"

BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL.
Old Riley Property at Greenwood
wood Sold for $115,OOO.

Greenwood, April 3.-What is gen.
orally believed to be the largest real
estate deal ever made in Greenwood
county was closed this afternoon when
George w. Rush, of Greenwood, and
J. H. and w. E. Rush, of Greenville,
purchased from Thomas R. and S. R.
Riley, executors of the Riley estate,
all of the property on the east side
of the public square, the considera-
tion being s115,O00. The property
which. changed hands includes the
old Riley hotel building, the Feath-
erstone & McGhee law office build
ing and three and one-half acres OF
land. The new owners plan an i'm
mediate development of the property
for business purposes.

MADE FINE RECORD.
Ammunition Train Suffers No Casual
ties in Battle.

Columbia, April 5.-South Carolin-
ians should be proud of the record
made by the One Hundred and Fifth
Ammunition Train in the fight on the
Western front. There were 1900
men and officers in the train, a great
number hailing from this State. The
train was formerly the old Second
South Carolina National Guard regi-
ment, commanded by Col. Holmes B.
Springs.
Capt. T. D. Miller, personnel adju-
tant of the train in an interview yes
terday told of the movements of the
organization after leaving America.
The outstanding fact was that the
train did not suffer one casualty
while in France, although the outfit
was under fire many times, disease
claimed a considerable number of the
men and % were killed in a railroad
accident while the organization was
returning to the port of embarkation.
At least 70 members of the outfit
were badly injured in the wreck.
The doughboys of an ammunition
train can only plod ahead with their
duties and are not permitted to strike
back at the enemy. It is their task
to take up the ammunition at night.
There cannot be a light; no smoking
and as little noise as possible. 1t was
the duty of the Boche airmen and ar
tillerymen to destroy as many ammu-
milton trains as possible. The men Of
the One Hundred and Fifth tell some
interesting stories of the shellings
by the Huns. One day several shells
dropped in the horse battalion area
and not a man was lost.
The One Hundred and Fifth train
saw as much service as al train in
the American expeditionary forces.
The train was attached to eight or
nine divisions. The unit participated
in practically every all-American
drive, including the Argonne fight,
the most severe of the war.
Several of the companies of the
One Hundred and Fifth are from
Charleston. When war was declared
the companies were ordered to Camp
Jackson as infantry outfits, being
used as guards. Later they were
sent to Greenville and assigned to
the thirtieth division. They went
over with the thirtieth and returned
with the same outfit.
The Columbia company of the am
munition'train has been mustered out
of service. The headquarters COM
pany and the companies from Char
lesion will be mustered out of SER
vice tomorrow.

ceremonies connected with the pre-
sentation, if any, have not been de-
cided upon but Gen. Faison stated
tonight that he had a broad ribbon
in which are printed the battles par
ticipated in by the 118th to drape on
the flag until the regulation silver
cord is secured. The flag, although
it remains in the possession of the
State, is the property of the United
States government.
Col. Holmes B. Springs.
One of the officers who received an
exceedingly cordial welcome here to-
day was Col. H. B.. Springs, of
Georgetown, former commander of
the Second South Carolina regiment,
who is exceedingly popular in every
section of the State. He is looking
we'll and says that he is enjoying the
very best of health. While in France
he was acting division quartermaster
and commander of transportation. In
an order by Major Gen. E. NJ. Lewis,
commander of the Thirtieth division.
he was cited for devotion and untir-
ing ZEAL

English Language Popular.

The popularity of study in the
English language has increased in
Japan to a remarkable degree since
the declaration of the armistice, and
the Tokyo School of Foreign Ian
guages, of which Baron Kanda is d.
rector, has about 500 candidates an
nually, of which 400 are admitted.
The students of English exceed in
number those of French or other
European languages.

Other Drawbacks.

The report also says that investi-
cation throughout the cotton belt has
shown extremely unfavorable wealth
er for crop preparation throughout
80 per cent of the territory and
marked shortage of labor. The re-
duction of commercial fertilizer for
cotton is estimated at 55 per cent,
while the report also predicts that
on account of the mild winter the
"inroads of the boil weevil will be
more serious than for years past"
After hearing addresses from Uni
ted Setates Senator E. D. Smith,
Congressman Thomas j. Hefin, of
Alabama, and Asbury F. Lever, of
South Carolina, Governor Robert A..
Cooper and w. B. Thompson, of New
Orleans, the convention elected ten
delegates to the convention schedul-
ed for Memphis, April 10 and twen-
ty delegates to the New Orleans con-
vention May IA.
Two Resolutions.
Two resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the convention, one call
ing for an investigation and other
requesting a government inquiry.
The first asks that every South
Carolina representative and congress-
man use every effort in their power
"to have an investigation made of
the War Industries Boards activi-
ties, either collectively as board
or individually affecting the price Of
cotton, what steps they took, If any,
that bore on the price Of cotton"
The second resolution sets forth
that Through information secured
from the department of cost of pro-
duction of the department Of agri-
culture or some similar department
the federal reserve system is using
dS OASIS VI COSC Ou COLIoA LII LhO
year 1919 of around thirty cents per
pound, basis middling, and whereas
this cost is considerably lower than
that the cost shown by experts en-
ployed by the producer for the pur-
pose of making a report showing &C
tual cost, the department of esti-
mates of cost production be hereby
requested to issue a complete state
ment showing the actual cost of cot
ton, basis middling, and in making
this estimate to include all items of
cost"
The following delegates were elect
ed to attend the meeting at New Or
leans in May:
Governor Cooper, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Lilies, Commissioner of Agri-
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1919-04-10
designed would, it is estimated, ac-

designed would, it is estimated, ac-
complish the trip from Hamburg to
New York in twenty hours. Tanks
of a. capacity of about 750 gallons
are fitted on the Siemens-Schuckert
machine, and it is calculated by the
builders that the total fuel required
amounting to about three times the
quantity just mentioned, could be
carried by the biplane, which has six
engines, with a total of 1900 horse
power, driving four propellers.'
All the indications point to an in
auguration of transatlantic aviation
service this year, no matter what ma
tion shall be first in the field. All
that is necessary for emulation and
enterprise in the new realm of ac-
tivity is a successful beginning. The
multiplication of aircraft will un-
doubtedly be much more rapid than
was the early multiplication Of
steamships, hundred years ago. At
the beginning the steamship was a
very crude and unsatisfactory affair.
The Savannah, the first to cross the
Atlantic, would look. like a tender
alongside a, modern ocean-going YES
sci, and. it required twenty-five days
for her initial voyage. Aircraft, of
all known types, on the other hand,
are highly developed. They have
performed feats in the air. They
have been engaged in war. They
have made voyages by night over
land and sea. They are products OF
the most advanced technical schools.
They are manned by highly trained
nayigators. Fully twenty years have
been crowded into the experience
concerning them since the great war.
Successes and failures count alike as
assets for their constructors. From
the moment that the Wrights were
able to sustain a heavier ma
chine above the earth, every step,
from flights over sandhills to flights
over prairies, over rivers, over noun
tain tops, over the British Channel,
over continents, has been in the nat
ural line of development. There
were failures all along the way, but
every failure was eventually wiped
out by success.
The year 1919 is evidently to
mark the beginning of new era In
transportation. Continents and
countries will be brought into closer
relations by aircraft than they have
been by the submarine cable or by
radio-electricity. All port laws and
customs rules must be revised to
meet the new conditions. The allies
have already seen this and are pre-
pairing to meet the need. Said Lord
Weir, former British air minister, in
a recent address in Manchester: "Ary
adequate survey Of the future of civil
lization must involve an inquiry into
the future of transport, and it might
be that transport by air would one
day rival and even surpass transport
by land and water" That day Is
probably closer than the wise men OF
the world suspect.-Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

THE PRESIDENT IMPROVED
MIR. Wilson in Good Spirit Following
Best Nights Rest Since rs
illness Began.

Washington.-The favorable trend
of President Wilson's condition con-
tinued and there were indications
that those attending him thought hs
might be definitely on the road To
recovery.
After the best nights sleep he has
had since he was taken i'll, ten days
ago. the President was in such good
spirits that Rear Admiral Cary T.
Grayson, his personal physician, had
difficulty in persuading him to remain
in bed. The physician insisted on
this point, however, and indicated he
had no intention OF permitting the
President to get on his feet until the
change in his condition was more de-
c;siye-
Although the days bulletin did not
record any marked Improvement, It
contained details Of the Presidents
general condition, which Dr.. Grayson
seemed to regard as hopeful signs
