The woman no longer young who Is
earning her livelihood should make II

her salary weekly, no matter how small
It may be. Systematic saving leads
to habits Of thrift and gives the per

woman past her nrst youth will do

FISHERIES ACT is SIGNED
Bill Was Held Up Because of Con.
ficting Section.

Columbia, April 29.-The act passed
at the last session Of the General AS
sembly providing penalty clauses for
the violation of the law creating the
State Board Of Fisheries in 1917, and
regulating the appointment Of four
inspectors, has been signed by Gov
ernor Cooper. The act becomes ef-
fcctive at once.
Governor Cooper held up the act for
a considerable time because Of the
conflict in section 2, regarding the ap-
po'ntmcnt of the four inspectors of
the board. The paragraph amending
the original law provides for their ap-
pontment on the recommendation Of
the Senator's from the counties from
which they are appointed, and the sec
ton as a'nended provides for a recon
mendation of majority OF the dele
cation. The conflict is irreconcilable
and the State Supreme Court proba-
bly, will have to give it judicial in
depreciation. 1t is probable that the
board of fisheries will appoint its four
inspectors without recommendation
in view Of the conflict, and this pos
sibly will take 1t into the courts.

NO ACTION BY THE COUNCIL
Japanese and Belgian Questions
Considered.


Paris, April 29.-(By the Associat-
ed Press The session of the council
of three ended late this afternoon
without and decision on either the
Japanese or Belgium questions.
A compromise was proposed to Ja
pan by the council with respect to
the Kiao Chau problem, but no con-
clusion was reached and it is under
stand that further consideration will
be given to the matter at an early
date.
The financial experts Of the United
States and France were called in
while the Belgian delegates were be-
ing heard regarding the necessity Of
earlier payment to them Of their
share Of the reparations. The discus
sion was left unfinished
The Reuter- correspondent says he
learns from Belgian delegation cir
cles that the situation in Belgium is
so serious that unless financial aid is
received from Allies it may be i'm
possible for the Belgian delegates to
sign the peace treaty.

Linton, Ind, April 29.-About
fifty shots were fred by the State

thiZers of the girl operators Of the
New Home Telephone Company, here,
who have been on strike for several
days. No one was reported injured,
although it is reported that Frank
Jones, nineteen years old, miner,
had his hat knocked off his head by

Columbia, April 2S.-There is avail
able for aid in erecting bridges in
South Carolina about $3.50 100000 in
Federal funds. This Federal money
for building bridges can be secured
by the counties Of the State in exact
~ the same way as the Federal money
for building roads.
The erection of the necessary
bridges is an important matter in
South Carolina on account of the
fact that the State is crossed by
many large rivers, which with their
swamps are formidable barriers to
sections Of the State.
The bridge itself will afford splcn-
did outlet to Augusta for the Beach
Island section Of Aiken County and
the territory traversed by the Char
lesion and Western Carolina Railroad
in Aiken and Barnwell Counties. 1t
is now necessary in order to get to
| Augusta by road from the Beach Is
| land section Of Aiken county to 60
by way Of Bath The new bridge
across the Savannah River at Sand
Bar Ferry will shorten the distance
| by many miles.
The question Of building necessary
bridges is one which affects South
Carolina very vitally, as the State
is cut up by several large rivers
some of which are bordcrcd in the
low country by swamps of formidable
width.
This is especially true Of the Santee
River, which is one Of the larges,
streams in the Southeastern section OF
the United States. This river is no
spanned by a highway bridge any
where, although it is crossed by foul
railroad bridges. After making ex
haustive examinations and surveys
the State Highway Commission foun,

progressive conversation was then Ell
ioyed. Misses Jessie and Vivian Cur
tlss gave several beautiful selections
on the piano and violin. Portions OF
patriotic cards were then given out
bv the entertainment committee and
the guest matched these pieces for
partners. Then followed a very at
tractive and pleasing musical contest,
Introducing many popular songs.
These airs were to be recognized when
played unannounced where pauscs
were made in the story which was
being read. Miss Daisy Corbett and
Waldo e. Reynolds scoring highest
won the prize. Refreshments consist
ING, of block cream in patriotic colors
and cake were then served. After
the refreshments "Pcramble" was the
game, in which each soldier related
his most wonderful war experience.
Or the fifty guests entertained, each
one attcsted that they spent very
pleasant evening. Y.

ITALY WILL not
SIGN TREATY Terms
SAYS ORLANDO
Premier Tells Ambassador Page 1t is
Preferable to Have Trouble With
out Italy Than Trouble Within
DEMONSTRATIONS CUT OUT
American Ambassador Succeeds in
Having Rome Eliminate Mani
festation Against President
Wilson.

Paris, April 29..-(By the Associat-
ed Press. .)-Ambassador Page tele-
graphed from Rome today that he
had gathered from Premier Orlando
in a long conference Monday that the
prcemier did not intend to return to
Paris for the signing of the peace
treaty. The premier expressed regret
that the time was SO short before the
arrival Of the Germans.
The Italian premier, the telegram
from Ambassador Page added, felt
that his action tieher way would have
serious consequences, but it was pre-
ferable to have trouble from without
Italy rather than from within Italy,
because the present state Of public
feeling in Italy would not justify the
signing of treaty which did not in
clude Italian aspirations.
Demonstrations Suppressed.
Ambassador Page said he had taken
steps to have the Italian authorities
| suppress manifestations directed
against President Wilson, AS re-.
suit one Of the principal dcmonstra~
tions in Rome was given up.
| Should Premier Orlando, not return
for the signing Of the treaty it would
give the situation a more serious as
pect than the departure of the Italian
delegation, as the Allies would be re-
quired to take final action without
the participation of Italy. While there
is every desire to. avoid this result,
the indications are that the Allies viii
proceed with the signing if Italy de-
cides to withhold participation. 4
Treaty Abouv Ready.
The final treaty is virtually COM
pleted. The men in charge of the
work say they have no further doubt
that they will be able tc finish their
work by Thursday or by such time as
delivery is made. The latest count
shows total Of $4,000 words in the
treaty.
An official summary of 10000 words
has been made. 1t is in such shape
that it could be made public at once,
but the idea is to hold it for pub
lication throughout the world at
about the same time that the treaty
is delivered to the Germans. The
various governments are cabling this
summary everywhere for simultane-
Gus release when authorization by the
conference is given.

$500 FEDERAL AID ROAD
FUND FOR CLARENDON IN 1919

For two years we have worked hard,
and been very patient with the chronic
GrGmblers, and fault finders. Our
hard work has mostly been an effort
to get the County on a cash basis.
In the face Of fearful odds this has
been done. When l say we, mean
E. l.: Langston, |. V. Plowcen, and
myself. y
Our Legislative Delegation, at the
last session did all that could be ex-
pected Of them. AS see it, it is now
up to all of us to do our part We
can do this in two ways:
First. We can be selfish and do
nothing, but find fault with others,
ana thereby obstruct them in what
they are trying to do, and Of course
is our due.
Second. We can boost what the
other fellow is trying to accomplish,
and if he is wrong we will be in {,
position to help him see his error,
and correct it.
Clarendon County can get $4,000
Federal Aid Road Fund in 1918, pro-
vidcd we put up $55,O0O. This SllO,-
600 will be used on the roads in Clar-
endon. Do you want to help in this
progressive movement. If YOU do we
want you to fall in and help. If YOU
have a crouch that will obstruct 9th
crs, we want you in justice to others
to smother it, anC get out Of the way
Possibly there are some comments
or criticisms as to the way | am
taking up the different projects. Fed
eral Aid Road Funds will be used
strictly in compliance with the Fed
eral law as defined by the State
Highway Commission. So far as
Clarendon is concerned we have a
County law that will also be complied
with. This means that no funds will
be diverted from one road to an.
| other, only in proportion to the trave
over the roads in each district This
! is my reason for handling the pro
! ]ects with the Commissioners through
whose district the proposed proiec
| runs. If everybody will boost th,
projects will take in all sections be

trying to get each section to pu
