OF
SOLDIER PARTY
THRILL THRONC

Several thousand Sumter county
people were thrilled and entranced by
the exhibition of offensive wapons
and ammunitions of the United States
army, such as was used in France in
the war with Germany, and the dis
play of flares, star bombs, rocket
signals and other pyrotechnics, put
on at the circus grounds Friday and
Saturday nights by a demonstration
party from Fort Benning under com
mand of Capt. Schwatel. The exhibi-
tons lasted about ore hour each eve
ing, and consisted of highly varied
program.
Only the smaller weapons used at
the front could be demonstrated, the
largest fired being the Stokes NOR
tars and the one-pounders, which
shook the earth for wide distance
around. The most wonderful dis
play came from the phosphorus hand
grenades, which were timed so as to
explode in mid-air, and which threw
vast masses of flame and smoke in
all directions.
The two tents erected by the SOL
der party on the Masonic lot at
Lee and Church streets, containing
war curios and specimens of weapons
and army devices, attracted much at
tention during the two days visit of
the party.
Capt. Schwatel and his men will
move today to Buena Vista where
they will stage similar exhibitions.

.HOWLONDON AND
S. AMERICA SEE
.SENATE'S ACTION

LONDON, Nov. 22-(By Associat-
ed Press )-The Morning Post, in its
comment today, thinks the obvious
reason for the U. S. senate's objection
to the covenant of the League of Ma
tions was that there are in America
still citizens who have robust faith
in their own nation and a heartfelt
pride in the sovereign freedom of the
United States" The journal regards
the attitude of the republican party
as worthy Of free men and citizens
of a great republic and a refreshing
change from the international spirit
which has grown sick of the native
hue of British patriotism"

Sowing Grain At 3rd
District Aggie School

Active farming operations have
commenced at the Third District Ag-
gle school here and students and
school authorities there are busy
sowing grain this week. Nearly all of
the "back-side" college farm has been
broken up and twenty-four acres
there have been planted to grain, a
portion of which is aready up and
growing splendidly. Twelve acres have
been planted to wheat, six acres to
oats and the remainder of the twenty
four acre grain plat is devoted to the
production of rye and miscellaneous
grain crops. The whole of the college
farm will be devoted this year to the
raising of diversified crops, with cot
ton wholly excluded, and the ground
will be prepared altogether with the
tractor recently donated the school by

Truck Hits Mrs. Conan

Mrs. Louise Chapman Conan, Of
Enid, Okla, whJ is visiting her par

here, was struck Saturday night on
Lamar street by a truck belonging to
Sparks Grocery Company, and driven
by John Bedenbaugh, a white boy
The accident took place in front of
the Harris grocery store.
Mrs. Conan was not seriously in,
jured. She was badly bruised and
suffered possibly a sprained ankle.
DR.. W. S. Prather was "alled out
of the Americas Drug Company and
accompanied Mrs. Conan home.
Chief Johnson was at the scene of
the accident and had a case made
against the driver, pending an inves-
tigation. The driver stated that he
did not see Mrs. Conan until she
stepped in front of his truck. He re-
ported to the chief Immediately.
Those near the seen seemed % think
the accident was one of those un-
avoidable occurrences which some
times occur.
Mr.. Sparks stated last night that
young Bedenbaugh was not working
for him, but had induced John Nc
GaTah, a negro in charge of the
truck, to let him drive. Bedenbaugh
formerly worked for Mr.. Sparks.

HOW SOUTH AMERICA
VIEWS SENATE'S ACTION.

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 22.-Dis-
cussing the non-ratifcation by the
United States senate of the German
peace treaty in its original form, The
Nacion says that this is matter of
great gravity for the future relations
of the United States and the Latin
American countries which, with the
single exception of Mexico are
either original members or have
given their adherence to the League
of Nations.
The Nacion considers that in the
event of final failure by the United
States to ratify the treaty in its
original form the Latin-American
countries would be "forced to con-
slider the United States as factor in
a certain manner foreign to the devel-
opment of their peaceful policy"
Dwelling on the Monroe doctrine
reservation, The Nacion says it is
difficult to harmonic the opposition
of the republican senators to the or
ganization of the League of Nations
in its present form with their "desire
for the United States to constitute a
bloc with the Latin-American repub-
lies"
'There is in this attitude of the
United States senators opposing the
league in its present form," adds the
newspaper, "a contradiction not cas-
lily explained. It is possible that the
consideration Of aspects of the ques-
ton has not permitted the senators

Fabrication, Says Sheriff.
That Duckworth's present state

ment last night of Sheriff Harvey, in
discussing the fight that would be
aade to clear Duckworth this week. i

those folks down there when investi-
eating the case, that | wouldn't want

fer for something he did not do.
Green Perry, Mrs. Perry and others
Of the neighborhood do not believe f.;
Duckworth killed his wife. He told
ns without any qualification, however,
shat he did kill her. And you can't
make me believe that any negro would
cut white woman's throat and throw
her in we'll | think the negro was
in on it somewhere. He and Duck-
worth were making liquor together
and were there together when the
crime was committed. They say that
the woman was killed after Duck
worth and the negro came to Ameri-
Gus. I think that is probably true; l
think that they went back there on a
quick trip, probably after some blind
tiger liquor for some one and that
Duckworth killed her then.
AS for the statement that Duck
worth in testifying in Judge McMath's
court stated 4 did it, they say that
probably is about the way he answer
ed, but later at the hearing he left
no doubt in the minds of those pres
eHE that he admitted the whole affair
without qualification.
sit is true that the negro said he

Rtely.
