COUPl.!i ARRESTED
Discharged Soldier and Girl Said to
be His VIE in Trouble.

Bennettsvillp. .'',ril 1t has been
well said that tr.rn is stranger than
fiction. The ccs" o: George Taylor
and girl, said to be his wife, woulG
make a fine plot for movie picture.
George Taylor was honorably dis
charged from the army a few DAYS
ago. He is typical OF the dough boys
who broke the Hindenburg line and
made the Argonne forest forever
memorable: Twenty-Five years old I;
6 feet, 1 inch tall; broad shoulders !;
clean shavcn and weighing 19J pounds
he is fine specimen Of young man
hood. The stripes of Il sergeant deco
rating his sleeve shows that he rose
as nigh as his limited education per-
mitted.
Saturday night Sheriff Patterson, o.
Marlboro County, arrested Taylor and
the eighteen year-old girl at Murphy's
boarding house. A telegram from
Sheriff Mccain stated that he had run
off with another mans wife The cou-
pie had been in Benncttsville only
three days. They were from Fairfield
County. The girl was working in the
Sterling Hosiery Mill and Taylor was
Building a house for the mill. This
is the story they all They were

were Sswccthearts, promising to marry
when Taylor was called under the
craft. For few months letters came
to the soldier boy regularly and then
suddenly ceased. lie came back to
Camp Jackson few weeks ago, and
went on a furlough to his home in
Fairfield County. The girl said she
lived with the man she married for
about a month and heard that he had
another living wife; that her alleged
husband was very crucl to her. and
""e ri"ht gave her a severe beating.
She left and went to her sisters.
Several weeks after leaving her hus-
band she saw Taylor and poured out
""" story to him. and begged him 10
take her away. Taylor had Just got
ily boarded train. They left with
no particular destination in view. On
the train they met a gentleman from
Bcnnettsville who told them about the
new hosiery mill. They got off and
aDn'ied for work The girls people
are seeking proof Of the former mar
riagn and they say that just as soon
~ thev G"t it they are going to get
''"rricd. These people are very prin-
tive and the case is one that makes p
strong anrcal to humane instincts
Tavlor's chief thought seems 70 be to
protect the woman. He told some
"cntlcment who went down to the iail
that this was "a good girl" and that
y did not matter what happened to

Co., Of Winstom-Salcm, n. c., was ar
rested by the city authorities and
made to put up bond for doing bus
mess within the town without a

yesterday the hearing was had before
the mayor. The defendant asked for
a jury trial and plead not guilty.
Captain w. c. Davis represented the
defendant and S. Oliver O'Bryan, ESQ,
the town. The defendant admitted
selling tobacco in the town without a
town license, but claimed this priv
ilege under the federal and state laws.
Policeman Flowers was the first wit
ness called. He stated that he saw
the defendant sell his goods from his
automobile to the Clarendon Drug
Store and collect for same. Hc then
had him to put up n bond for DOING
business without license and appear
before court. DR.. Stalnakcr,> the next
witness, said he bought the pools AMI
paid for them. Jack Mctropol was
called, said on that date he bought
goods from the defendant, but it was
20 be shipped. Leon Weinberg testi-
fed that he had bought from the de-
tendant, but not on that date Mr..
Borchcr and Mr. Bostwick were each
put on the stand to show the way they
conduct their business and to prove
the convenience and saving in drav
age and freight for the merchant bv

The residents of the tobacco section
Of Salem are putting up some vigor-
Gus kicks against the condition Of the
road between Manning and there.
Several of these pcop-e have been in
our Office lately and inform us that
Manning is liable to lose the tobacco
business this year if the roads are
not put in condition. so that they
can haul here. They claim they would
sooner sell their tobacco here but they
cannot wear their stock and wagons
out trying to get over the roads. 1t
looks as if it is up to the business
people Of Manning to do something
towards getting the road in shape
from the Clarendon line. Manning
will have four warehouses this year
and they are going to need all the
business they can get.

Dear SIR
After going into the complaints Of
the citizens of Summerton and other
stations on your line on last Thurs
day, March 10th, at Summerton, and
after full deliberation by this Com
MISSION concerning the things COM
planned Of, the Commission has reach
ed the following decision:
1st., That it is absolutely necessary
that all railroads maintain their
schedules, except when conditions ex-
lst OF Providential nature over which
the railroad company could have no
control. This applies to your road
most specifically, as you do not main
tam re!H>.iHr passenger train service
y son requests that YOU do
not overload your freight trains as
ony - sag are to be mixed trains.
ana tn 1t Whin you find your trains are
so ovcI.oa:;"d or are unable TO make
,cheduic tine then freight cars mast
De set OIL on side tracks and the re-
.Aa!n ~ cS the train carried through
n :i"}u.
ZA3. Much complaint from n!anv
81, -: has reached the Cont!lsS.o !
fc'atWr to the sanitary conhltion o"
your passenger coaches. The rules of
the State Board Of Health, which are
the law so long as there is no statu-
tory law to the contrary, are very
specific, as are the rules Of the Com
mission, in regard to this matter,
Your passenger coaches, so long as
they are to remain in service, must be
~ Mmcdlateiy put in sanitary condi-
tion and 50 kept
3r". AS soon as there is sufficient
traffic over your road to Justify a
regular passenger train service, thi:
'"rvicc must bc instituted from Sum
Ter to Wilson Mill and return.
4th. That your schedules be ar
ranged SO as to make connection with
all trains of the A. G.. L. r. R. at Will
son MIL that it is possible to make.
9TH. That you maintain either a
telephone or telegraph instrument at
Wilson Mill so that your train dis
patcher may be in direct communi
cation with your train crews at Will
son Mill.
In this correction viii state th3t
we are enclosing herewith copy of
Letter the Commission mas this day
written to Supt.- u. = p. Walker, OF, a,
&. l.. Il. r., requesting him to CO.
operate with you in regard to tele-
Siaph or Celephone service at Wilson
MIL. If the A. c. l.. r. r. does not
c"-operatc with you in this matter,
then the Commission will be forced to
Issue peremptory orders against both
railroad companies relative to this
part of the service.
II the above provisions nre carried
ont, the Commission is satisfied thot
less complaint will be lodged with this
Office against your road, as most as
s'Tedly you must realize that a train
that is habitnally off Of schedule time
Is. SO far as the public is concerned,
equal to no train at all
All the above REQUESTS the Comr,is-
slon expects to be nut into effect
within ten days from date Of this let
ter.

April 7-8-9. Another Opportunity.

During three days in April there
will be nationwide drive for funds
to aid the Jewish war sufferers.
This will be the first appeal that
the Jews have ever made to us for
contributions for the destitute among
their people.
In proportion to population, no
class of our citizens sent more or bet
ter fighters to France than the Jews.
The scourage Of war has left mil
lions of Jews in Eastern Europe =, in
dire need.
Their homes and their business have
been destroyed, and many thousands
of them live in wagons under the open
sky.
Tens of thousand of children, three
and four wears old, are not able 'to
walk, because they have always been
hungry.
Tens of thousand of widows and
orphans, whose husbands and fathers
died in defense Of liberty and human
jty, are in actual need of bread.
The money raised in this campaign
will be converted into food, none Of it
will be used for expenses.
This appeal is TO the spirit of hu-
manity and the Christian charity of
prosperous community, whose child
rem have comfortable homes and do
not know what it is to 90 to bed
hungry.

so as to better facilitate connection

The Commission prefers not to is
sue peremptory order in regard to
this matter, because we take it that
the companies interested must realize
the necessity for such facilities at
Wilson Mill, but unless some relief
is given this Commission will be fore
ed to exercise all the authority it may
have relative to this matter.
An immediate reply will be appre-
ciated.

has been awaiting the conclusion of
the task Of the conferees and that it
hal right to expect early results.
The Presidents appeal for an ex-
pcdited effort followed a long ses-
sion in which there had been more
than the usual oratory. 1t came at
the close of a day when financial eX-

President Wilson explained today
that he was willing to accept his
share of responsibility for the peace
conference delays. He was careful to
point ont that the slowncss of the
negotiations was not due to any single
country or its representatives. He
declared emphaticaIly, however, that
the time for talk was virtually fin
ished and that now was the time to
show results.
Italy Insists On Settlement.
Settlement OF ltalys frontier ques-
tion contemporaneously with that Of
France was insisted upon today by
Premier Orlando at a conference with
President Wilson just before the coun-
ell of four convened to discuss the
Italian frontier question.
The Italian premier asked the Pres
ident whether he hid noi think it ad-
visable to have an informal exchange
of views on the Italian problem, espe-
cially as regards the Adriatic, before
it is presented to the council. The
President replied that ne shared this
view, but owing to the pressure of
work had been unable to personally
study the Italian question. However,
he promised to do so.
Premier OrIando's suggestion at a
simultaneously at the frontier ques-
tinns involves ii joint peace with Aus
tia a plan which is favored by the
American delegation, provided it does
not cause too much delay. In this con-
ncction the A merican boundaries COM
mission expects this week to conclude
all boundaries, including those Of Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Turkey.
