BIG CASE SETTLED.

The case of w. M. Speer & Co., VS..
B. E. Allen, of Lowndesville, was
settled during the present term of
court as well as the case of Katurah
W. Allen VS.. r. M. Burts, Sheriff,
growing out of the former action.
The Speer firm some years ago Sc
cured a judgment against B. E. AL
len, which amounted at the time of
settlement to about five thousand dol
lars. Last fall levy was made on
18 bales of cotton, and recently IL
tons of fertilizers were seized as the
property of Allen. Mrs. Katurah w.
Allen claimed the property, and her
action, was to determine the owner
ship of the cotton, and of the fertili-
zers as we'll.
Before trial the Speer firm agreed
to accept fifteen hundred dollars in
full of all demands against Allen, and
this sum was paid by Mrs. Allen and
the matter was settled out of court.
Mrs. Allen secures the cotton and fer
tilizers in the settlement.
Messrs. J. M. Nickles, of the local
bar and Grier, Park & Nicholson OF
Greenwood, represented Speer & Co.,
while the Aliens were represented by
Messrs. Bonham Watkins & Allen, Of
Anderson, and VIM. P. Greene, OF
Abbeville.

SET UP THE CLOCKS.

People who expect to attend SER
vices in any Of the churches on next
Sunday morning, whether they expect
to throw anything in the collection or
not, should set The. clocks up Satur-
day night, because during the night,
at 2:30 A. M, the time jumps up an
hour, and you will get up by fast
time, Notwithstanding you may re-
tire by slow time.
Nothing interrupts the preacher so
much as those who come in late on
Sunday morning, and nothing inter
feres with the collection anymore
than for contributors to come in af-
ter the plate is passed. You are ON
that account, both accounts we should
say, urged by the preachers and dea-
sons to be~on time.

FASTER PROGRESS MADE ON
TREATY THAN is APPARENT
Message From Delegates to Washing
ton is Reassuring-Mr. Wilson and
Premiers Resume Their Con-
ferences-No Details of
Progress Given.

Washington, March 26.-A mes
sage to the White House today from
he American peace delegation at
Paris said greater progress toward
peace was being made than "appear-
ed on the surface"
No details of the progress were
given and White House officials de-
clined to speculate on what develop
ments might have furnished the
basis for the dispatch.
In some quarters it was assumed
that the American delegates were
optimistic over the important amend
ments to the League of Nations con-
stitution agreed upon yesterday, in
cluding one specifically to exempt
domestic questions from the juris-
diction of the league, and over the
apparent certainty that the associat-
ed powers will accept President Will
sons provision designed to preserve
the Monroe doctrine. E,.&s
1t was learned last might that
the government had opened an in
quiry into the manner in which the
French press had been enabled to
keep so closely in touch with the
doings of the supreme council. f:-
Most of the Republican senators
now in Washington declined to com.
.ment today on the amendments
agreed upon at Paris. They. read
the press reports with keen: interest,
but preferred to await official an
nouncement of the action of the con-
ference. .. ...... e.. . :,
Senators Borah, of Idaho; and
Poindexter, of Washington, outspo-
ken opponents of the League, were
exceptions to the rule. "
81 WORT. support the League : of
Nations constitution" Senator Borah
said, "no matter if it contains a
Monroe doctrine amendment or not,
SO long as control is, placed in the
hands of three Europeans and one
Asiatic as now proposed" :
Senator Poindexter declared the
only change that would be satisfac-
tory to him would be to strike out
everything after the preamble.

THE WAR is OVER.

When we think of the "meatless,"
"wheatless" and "eatless" times we
have been having for the last year or
two, glance at Barksdale's window

window is an alluring array of home
cured hams and country eggs, spell
ing the words sham and eggs"
Barksdale's ugly clerks are experts

RAILROAD WORK
/ NOT ALL HALTED
Mistaken Idea Prevails, Says Hines
Much Will Be Done-Director
General Makes Address in Pitts
burgh Pleading for Clearer
.- Public Understanding.

Pittsburgh, March 26.-Despite the
financial predicament of railroads.
the railroad administration plans to
carry out as much of its Improvement
program as possible to keep labor
employed and roads in repair, Walker
D. Hines, director general of rail-
roads, declared in an address tonight
before the Pittsburgh Traffic Club.
He asked for a more adequate under
standing on the part of the public OF
problems facing the railroads during
the war and in the immediate future,
and presented suggestions for oper-
ating roads privately under public
regulation as permanent solution OF
the problem. He emphasized that
the ability of the railroad admins
tration to finance itself in spite OF
the failure of the appropriation does
not, mean that 1t does not need tne
appropriation as soon as congress
meets again. ..
I. Referring to the Improvement pro-
gram, Mr.. Hines said: '..' ',..
- Unfortunately the impression has
gone Sout, that the railroad Eadminis-
= - y
tration has decided to cut off all i'm
!. provement work, including additions
and betterments and maintenance.
Thissis not a fact. What has happen
ed is that we are taking steps to give
the railroad corporations full oppor-
tunity to determine whether they
should assent to the work which they
must finance It'is the intentioH of
the railroad administration to carry
forward just as much additions and
betterments and maintenance work
as possible in order that the railroads
be kept in good repair and extended
to meet the needs of the situation"

HUGHES OFFERS
SEVEN !, CHANGES
bib
Amendments for League of Nations
Covenant-New York Address
Republican Candidate for Presi-
dent Says People Are Entitled
to Better Work,

New York, March 26.-Seven a.
mendments to the league of nations
covenant, intended primarily by their
author to insure the American CONT
nent against European aggression to
protect the United States from en-
forced administration of foreign ter
ritory and to revoke the trouble
breeding" guaranty of the existing
political independence of member
nations. were proposed here tonight
by Charles E. Hughes. '"I .'
Minor suggestions of the former
Republican presidential candidate
were that definite limitation be plac-
ed upon the leagues field of inquiry,
reserving to the several nations ex-
elusive control of immigration, tariffs
and other internal problems, that
provision be made for the withdrawal
of states from the organization, and
that what he termed an ambiguity as
to the requirement of unanimous de-
cisions by the league to be cleared
I'm =, 49,: : ' a,.' -,
In an address before the United
League:"'Club reviewing exhaustively
the terms of the proposed covenant,
Mr.. Hughes declared that the Ameri-
can people '"were entitled-to a better
piece of work." He added that much
would have been gained eff at the
outset" part of the time expended in
it's praise had been devoted to it's
correction" : '
The amendments, Mr.. Hughes sug-
gested, "aside from formal improve
ments" were stated as follows:
1: Explicit provision, as to the
requirement of unanimity of decision.
2. Suitable limitation as to the
field of the leagues inquiries and ac-
tion so as to leave no doubt that the
concerns of states, such as immigra-
tion and tariff laws, are not embrac-
ed.
8. Providing that no foreign pow
er shall hereafter acquire by con-.
quest, purchase, or in any other way,
any possession on the American con-
tinent or the islands adjacent thereto.
4. Providing that the settlement of
purely American questions shall be
remitted primarily to the American
nations, and that European nations
shall not intervene unless requested
to do so by the American nations.
5. Omitting the guaranty (of the
existing independence of member ma
tions) of Article x.
6. Providing that no member. of
the league shall be constituted
mandatory without its consent and no
European or Asiatic power shall be
constituted a mandatory of any Am,
erican people.
7. Providing that any member Of
the league may withdraw at it's pleas
ure on specified notice.

TROUBLE IN HUNGARY =
MORE THREATENING
Anxiety in Washington and Paris
No Ill Will Believed to Have Been
Shown for Americans or Brit
ish in Budapest-Not So
With French. =.

Washington, March 26.-Reports
of an increasing seriousness of the
situation in Hungary led to an opin-
ion, expressed today by an official of
the State Department that "the time
had come for the Allied nations rep
resented at Paris to take definite
and firm stand against Bolshevism. 4"
Little news of an official nature was
received at the State Department
during the day, but dispatches from
Paris indicated that grave apprehen-
sion was felt there as well as in
Washington over the situation.
! Representatives of the United
States in Vienna reported today that
the food administration had one or
two agents in Budapest and it was
stated that there might be other Am
orleans there. These advices said
there was no i'll feeling toward Amer
leans or British in Budapest, but a
strong feeling of hostility was being
manifested against the French. This,
it is believed here, is due to the oc-
cupation by French troops of the
neutral zones between Czecho-Slova-
kia and Hungary and Rumania and
Hungary. It is believed here that
probably the French members of the
inter-allied mission in Budapest have
been interned, as has been reported
in news dispatches from Vienna, but
doubt was expressed as to the in
clusion of American or British in the
internment order.
1t was said by officials that if the
Hungarians actually have declared
war upon the Entente Powers, as was
threatened in State Department ad-
vices made public yesterday, it would
be natural move for the Hungarians
to attempt to reach the Adriatic and
recover a portion of the Austrian
navy now in the hands of the Jugo-
Slavs. Hungarian leaders, it was said,
undoubtedly would recognize the ad-
vantage to be gained by striking i'm
mediately toward the Adriatic before
the authorities in Paris had time to
act.
b The question as to whether Hun
gary's acceptance of Bolshevism had
it's inspiration from German sources
is considered doubtful by State De-
partment officials although it was
said that it would be an experiment
of great interest to Germany as it
would at once put the alliances to
the test as to their attitude toward
Bolshevism.
Advices to the department indicat-
ed that the peasantry of Hungary
thus far had not accepted the new
regime to any great extent but it
was pointed out that in no case has
Bolshevism got it's start by a general
rising of the proletariat.
