Cleanup Week.

This week and the next, If neces-
sary, will be devoted by the ladies Of
the Civic Improvement Association
to helping clean the streets of our
town. A committee has been out each
day this week with the town wagons,
experimenting the work. The scarcity
of labor makes it impossible to weed
and rake as we go, but If everybody
will have the sidewalks in front or
their homes cleaned, it will make
great improvement in the looks OF
our streets If we haze overlooked any
trash that has been raked and piled
please phone me and l will notify the
committee to have the wagons call
for it.
Also. please burn all paper on your
premises. Nothing spoils the looks of
a street more than paper scattered all
along it. The men on the town wa%-
ons do not stop and rake up paper
as they go and what they do empty
from your trash boxes is usually scat
tered along the streets out OF the
wagons.
Committees also are beginning
work on the two railroad depot plots.
the court house grounds, the vacant
lots of the town and the cemetery.
Cleanup weeks will be followed by
an inspection of all back yard prem
ises by the Chief of Police.

DECLARE GERMANY
CAN STILL SAY NO"
RANTZAU SAYS HUNS DECLINE To
AGREE LIKE CRIMINALS.
Says He Will DO What is Right
and Await the Re-
suit.

London, June Count Won Brock
dorff- -Rantzau, when asked by a rep
;resentative of the European Press
Bureau whether he believed the Ger
man counter proposals would lead to
negotiations, according to a Berlin
dispatch to the Wireless Press, said
he had cured himself of the habit of
believing in such things. The chair
man of the delegation added:
Il will do what 1 think right and
await results.
According to an article in the
Temps on Wednesday, our opponents
seem to assume that the German
counter proposals go beyond the lin
its within which they wish to grant
us discussion. If this article inter-
prets the view of our enemy leaders,
l hardly see any prospect of an un-
derstanding."
fhohCu "uClHSl lc
bridgeable the gulf between the Al
lied demands and the German offic-
ers, the count replied:
This question itself is based on a
controversy of principles on which no
agreement can be reached. 1t is pos
sible to be of different opinions about
the resources of Germany, but there
exists no agreement about the ques-
tion whether this nation is to do pen
ance as a criminal or to fulfill obli-
cations as a party to the treaty.
''If in October, 1918, an avowal or
its sins had been laid before the Ger
man nation for it's acceptance instead
of a preliminary treaty regarding
the foundation of peace, it would have
continued to fight. At present Ger
many can not fight any more, but
she can still say no..
After declaring that if he were in
the position of President Wilson, Pre-
mier Clemenceau or Premier Lloyd
George he would be afraid of "as-
suming an equality to God,' Count
Won Brockdorff- continued.
"At the moment when the moral
cloak of penal justice is removed
from the peace document, it becomes
bearable for Germany to a certain ex-
tent that we, as the vanquished must
make sacrifices in power and goods
We realize this but we decline to
agree like criminals to our removal
into a second-class position among
the nations.
There is in the draft an aston
ishing amount of mental work which
could be used usefully if the stipula-
tions which were formulated in the
most blunt one-sidedness in favor OF
our opponents, were to change to a
point of view which would CORES
pond with peace of justice. 1t is true
that such a work would possess many
bones of contention which would have
to be done away with in some other
manner but the first condition for
the establishment of peace OF un-
Iderstanding would have been fulfilled
by it,"

goods. and credits will have to be eX-
tended on larger scale than here
tofore. Therefore, while all the cot
ton ultimately will be taken, we
must exercise patience and judgment
in feeding it 20 Europe. This must
be done slowly ard gradually. If We
undertake TO feed il fast, the market
will be glutted and disaster will fol-
low"

A few days ago Mr.. L. E. Smith
received the sad news that his broth
er William B. Smith and his only son
Berry had been drowned at their
home near Kansas City. No details
have been obtained up to this time
but from recent letters describing
their near proximity to splendid fish
ing and bathing places right on the
river it is supposed they must have
been bathing when the accident re-
suited. AS Mr.. Smith was an excel
lent swimmer it is supposed that the
danger to the child caused the faith
er to over tax his strength.
Mr.. Smith was born and raised
in the Oak Grove community, and had
resided in Dillon at one time. He
was a man of pleasant, agreeable
disposition and made friends easily
and his friends and friends of his
relatives here deeply regret the tragic
end. He is survived by his father,
mother and several brothers includ-
ing Luther E. Smith who resides
here.
On Saturday afternoon as the Lat

its legs. The child was taken TO Flor
ence for treatment at the hospital
but death resulted while on the way.

not in the habit of playing on the

of the deplorable accident till they

An election is to be held at some
date in the near future on the ques-
ton of bonding the school district
to raise funds to complete Dalcho
School building. The district was
bonded year or two ago to build
the school house but the amount of
bonds voted at that time was only
about half enugh to build according
to the subsequent plans adopted by
the trustees, and the additional issue
of bonds is asked, for to arrange the
Indebtedness on the district incurred
by the erection of the present splen-
did building and also to complete and
equip it.

NEW DEVELOPMENT IN
DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
just After Tragedy it Was Was Claim
ed Hogg and Marley Killed
Each Other.

light has been thrown upon the my
sterious killing of Jim Hogg and H.
D. Marley, the two well known plan
ters in the Allendale section last
week. The report first sent out broad
cast over the country that Hogg was
shot by Marley, and, then while Hogg
was wounded and lying on the ground
that he shot and killed Marley, has
been completely upset, according to
the testimony of Carrie Stanley, at
Aiken before Hon. Robert L. Gunter,
the solicitor of the circuit.
From the evidence of Carrie Stan
ley, who is separated from her hus-
band and has been Marley's house
keeper, it appears that a crowd of
white farmers of the Allendale sec
ton shot Marley to death after coax
ing him out of his house with the
promise Of protecting him on his way
to surrender to the sheriff.
Woman's Testimony
Carrie Stanley appeared before So
licitor Gunter here and has sworn
that a crowd of men, consisting of
Herman Lee, John Dunbar, George
D. Kirkland, Henry D. Best, Paul
Black, Hughes Reeves and Buck
Lewis, came up to the Marley place
after the shooting of Hogg by Mar
ley, and after getting him to come
out on the ground, John Dunbar shot
him twice with pump gun which he
(Dunbar) had taken from the hands
of Buck Lewis.
According to the report it appears
that a gathering of ten farmers were
attending fish catch and dinner at
Cohen's Bluff. Jim Hogg and Buck
Lewis, whose home is on the Georgia
side Of the river near Brier Creek,
went down to the home of H. D.
Marley, about three-quarters of mile
from Cohens' Bluff, to pay visit. AS
Hogg reached the Marley gate he was
attacked by Marley's dog, and being
afraid of a bad bite from the animal
is alleged to have shot and killed it
forthwith. Marley, seeing the dead
dog, and Hogg with his gun in his
hand, came out of his no. and is
said to have fired one load Oh shot in
the breast of Hogg, who fell face
down on the ground. Lewis then
lodged behind a tree until Marley en-
tered his home, when he ran to the
other members Of the fishing party
and told them Of the shooting.
Marley Fatally Shot.
1t is testified by Carrie Stanley
further that the whole party, some
eight in number, then hastened to
the Marley home, and after coaxing
him outside shot him to death.
The affidavits of each member of
the party conflict with the woman's
statement, the party claiming that
Marley was standing over the pros
trate body of Hogg when the party
arrived, and that Marley appeared in
a threatening manner.
The testimony of the woman states
that whiskey was on the breath of
several members of the fishing party;
she especially designates John Dun
bar, whom she charges with firing the
two shots into Marley's body.

w. L. Walton Resigns
the Postmastership

Owing to continued i'll health and con-
sequent inability to attend to his official
duties, W. L. Walton last week rendered
his resignation as postmaster at Lexing-
ton, much to the regret Of the patrons
His bondsmen have appointed ]. Kennard
Young to act as postmaster until the ap-
pointment Of a postmaster, following
civil service examination. When this ex-
animation viii be held 10 not known-it
may be in a few weeks and 1t may be
several months. An examination for q
clerkship will also be held, probably ut
the same time. The position Of post
master Is luscious plum" as it carries
with it salary Of $4,000 year, and is
supposed to be for life or during good
behavior, unless the Republicans get into
power and overturn the civil service rules
and adopt the old policy of "to the victors
belong the spoils." 1t is understood that
Mr.. Young will be an applicant for the
regular appointment, and there are
rumors Of quite number of our promi-
nent citizens contemplating making q
tryn for it. The clerkship is also at.
tractive, and there will doubtless be sew
eral applicants for that, too. Acting
Postmaster Young, who has had prior ex.
perience in postoffice work, is being as
sisted by Miss Lizzie Connolly, E. F. Noel
Jr., and Prof. Brian M. SETTLER, all OF
whom are doing their best to serve the
public efficiently and satisfactorily. G.
R. Reese, a postoffice inspector, has been
here several days making thorough
audit Of the accounts and inspection OF
