A WAVE OF ANGER
SWEEPS GERMANY
People Expressing Strong Indigna.
ton Over the Peace Terms.

Berlin, May 10-The protests that
came from various quarters in Ger
many over the peace terms as they
were reported before the official
terms became known are as nothing
in comparison with the wave of re-
monsrrance = angry, bitter, disap-
pointing in tone = that is sweeping
over Germany now that the treaty
has been presented. States, munich,
palities, districts, organizations OF
various sorts, business mems and
women's clubs and the political par
ties through their spokesman are
vieing with each other in finding
words in which to express scorn and
condemnation for the document.
For perhaps the first time in his
tory the German parties are united
III opinion, each of them assailing
the terms Germany is asked to sign
but the body of the independent So
cialist party does not appear to agree
with it's organ, Die Freipeit, that
Germany should sign the peace on
the terms presented. The newspapers
are utterly swamped with the pro-
tests, being able to print but a frac-
ton of them. They are urged to this
by The Tageblatt, which says the un-
friendly attitude towards the treaty
taken by the Socialists of other coun-
tries will not be of assistance because
they are in the minority in their
countries and the Germans must pro-
test for themselves.
The government likewise is being
overwhelmed with telegrams which
it is utterly unable to answer save
by public announcement of its graft
tude.
In the criticisms, President Wilson
is only mildly assailed here and there
since word has gone to the press
from official quarters that he is not
to be taken to task. The assertions
upon which stress are laid are that
the proposed peace lacks all elements
Of justice and conforms in no way to
the presidents IA points while lndlg-
nation is expressed over terms char
acterized as unbearable and as spell
ing slavery for the German people.
Some Of the protestants declare they
are deeply moved and outraged by
the provisions of the treaty while
others express deep contempt on
what they call brutal peace or
force. The expression "a verdict of
death" is one frequently used.

AND
CULTIVATING TOBACCO.

Clemson College, May 13 - Much
of the transplanting of tobacco in
this state has already been done, the
i'm some localities the work is not
vet finished. Most of the tobacco
suggests R. E. Currin, Superintend-
ent of the Pee Dee Experiment Sta
ton, is transplanted by hand, u.s.
ually after rainfall to create suffi-
cient moisture. Sometimes it may
be necessary to water and plant, to
prevent plants from becoming over
grown in the seed bed
Any method of planting that will
gently press the earth to the roots,
leaving the buds of the plants just
above the surface, is alright. A
good tobacco plant is as easy trans
planted as a cabbage plant. The
distance between the plants on the
rows should be governed by the
amount of fertilizer used, the fer
tilizer of the soil and the class OF to-
bacco to be produced. Plants are
usually set from twenty-eight to
thirty-two inches apart. If cendi-
tions are good and the plants are
properly set. they will have soon re-
covered from the shock of removal
from the seed bed. AS soon as
practicable, the field should be gone

SHERIFF LANE SEXES PULL
MAN CAR.
Pullman Company Would Not Pay
Back Taxes and Sheriff At
taches Property.

Sheriff Lane is the first Dillonite
tn own a Pullman car. The car is
resting quietly on side-track and
will stay there until the sheriff set
ties little difference Of $112 be-
tween the county and the Pullman
company. It is one of the company's
best cars and if the company does not
settle the sheriff will offer it for sale
to the highest bidder for cash.
1t all came about because the Pull
man company had refused Or neglect
ed TO pay county tax amounting to
about $1,000. Sheriff Lane had serv-
ed them with various notices, even
registering them letter in which
he told them he would have to at
tach some of their property if they
did not pay the amount Of the exc
cution which had been issued against
them.
Monday morning No. 80 dropped a
Pullman car at Dillon to be used by
Dillon shriners Tuesday afternoon on
a trip to Spartanburg. The sheriff
saw his opportunity. Armed with the
necessary credentials he went down
and took possession of the car. 1t is
valuable piece of property, costing
probably around 100000, and the
sheriff will have no trouble finding
bidders up to the amount of his
execution if he offers it for sale.

over and all missing places replant-
ed with good strong plants. Two or
three replantings should insure a
perfect stand. Cut worms and wire
worms sometimes give great deal OF
trouble in getting stand. Repeat
ed replanting will usually beat them,
however.
In a week or ten days cultivation
should begin. Any method that will
loosen the earth around the young
plants and kill the grass is recon-
mended. Tobacco usually requires
one or two workings with the hoe.
If, for any reason, the earth has to
be removed from the growing plants
it should be replaced as early as Is
practicable, as the stalk may be-
come hard if exposed. Tobacco re-
quires frequent and shallow cultiVa-
ton with a gradual working up OF
the earth under the bottom leaves
or towards the plant, so that when
cultivation is discontinued the tobac-
co will be somewhat above the level.
Ordinarily, the culture is very much
like that of cabbage or of cotton.
Cultivation should be continued un-
til the plant shown signs of bloom
ing, and sometimes it is advisable
to plow one more time slightly after
this. Good judgment will dictate
when to discontinue cultivation.

MEETS TRAGIC DEATH.
Maxcy Odom, Ellis Davis and Rob-
ert Blanton, All of Darlinton
County Dead.

Florence, May 12-Maxcy Odom,
aged so, Ellis Davis, aged 16, and
Robert Blanton aged II, were killed
Sunday afternoon at 1850 o'clock
when their automobile was struck by
an Atlantic Coast Line passenger
train at the Ebenezer crossing five
miles from here. The two boys, Davis
and Blanton, appear to have been
killed outright. Mr.. Odom lived about
thirty minutes hut never -regalned
consciousness after being thrown
from the car. Grover odom, aged l6'
a son of Maxcy Odom, was thrown
a distance from the track into the
ditch and escaped with only few
bruises.
DR.. B. G. Gregg, who reached the
scene a few minutes after the TRACE
dy brought the injured lad to the
Florence hospital and his wounds
were treated. Today the body is seem
ingly as we'll as ever. His escape was
miraculous.
All of the victims of. the tragedy
were from Darlington County, their
home being near the Indian Branch
section, five miles from the town.
They had been on a visit to Ed Hill
in the county and were returning
home when >the accident occurred. Ell
lis Davis was driving the car and on
the seat with him was Grover Odom,
Blanton occupied the rear seat. The
impact of the locomotive seems to
have centered upon the rear of the
car
When seen this morning Grover
Odom stated that no one in the car
saw the approaching train until 1t
was upon them. The oncoming train,
he stated, struck the automobile al
most before they knew it was upon
them. The bodies of the dead were
terribly mangled. 1t was midnight
before Coroner Smith completed his
inquiry. By that time relatives had
arrived from Darlington and taken
charge of the bodies. Mr.. Odom was
q married man and leaves widow
and five children. He was well
known farmer of Darlington county.
The boys, Davis and Blanton, were
friends of the Odoms and had been
invited to take the automobile ride
with them. They were driving Max
well car. Except for the engine it was
torn into fragments.
Those who saw the accident can
not account for it. There is clear
view of the railroad track at the
crossing extending for almost a mile.
The engineer, G.. H. Faulker, testi-
fled that he blew the crossing as well
as the station signal, and that he
was running 20 miles an hour. Inc
automobile driven at about the same
speed. The only surviving member OF
the party, Grover Odom, could o1ier
no testimony at the inquest on ac-
count of his dazed condition, but
stated today that he did not see or
hear the train until it was upon him.
After taxing testimony the coro-
ners jury rendered a verdict that
Mr.. Odom and Davis and Blanton
had come to their deaths by being
struck by railroad train on the At
lantis Coast Line tracks.
