Hon. John S. Wilson. Presiding Judge.

Of public Importance. All indictments

The committee appointed TO in

the following effect:
The Jail now in use has been con

done in the circumstances. Sumter
County needs a new jail constructed in
accordance with modnr1i ideas of hy-
gienc and safety. TIC funds avail
able at this time are inadequate for
such a building as is necessary to
meet reasonable requirements We
would urge upon our legislature and
commissions that they provide the
means wherewith this need may be
supplied within the next year. Mean

Blasco Ibanez May Lingef
II He Likes Us the Distinguished and Much Heralded
Spanish Novelist Will Consider Staying Two Three Years

Of the trenches he saw and the first
great battle of the Marne-''the most
elfficult moment of the war;" Ibanez
a friend Of President Poincare. who
made it possible for him, civilian, to
witness that great battle.
Throughout the war Ibanez was
immersed heart and soul in war work.
He directed important propaganda;
he wrote history of the war in ten
volumes; he went to Spain and or
ganized among the fishermen and
boatmen of the coasts a defence
against the German submarine war
fare-and at the same time he wrote
three novels!
Sometimes 1 worked eighteen
hours a day." he said, "here at this
very table" He beat it with his
knuckles. Gin Germany l am de-
tested, of course. And many Ger
mans from South America have sent
me anonymous letters threatening
death" He smiled.
Y.
After he has seen the cities of the
United States Senior Ibanez wants to
run around the country from one end
to the other. Courir (run) is the
word he used. He will have his lee
lures to give, of course, but at the
same time he is going to look at
things all the way from coast to coast;
then California, New Mexico, Louisi-
ana, Florida, and back to New York.
"It is an enormous country, L
know. But am not in hurry"
Ibanez has a kind of wanderlust.
He has villa at Nice, an apartment
in Paris, home in Buenos Ayres, a
house in Madrid and a chateau IN
Valencia, Spain, where he was born.
He came of parents who were neither
rich nor poor, he said, and who want
ed him to go to the University Of Va
lencia rather than enter the navy. So
he studied law, but never praetised it.
His life of adventure soon began, he
said, for he mixed up literature and
revolutionary politics with his studies.
It was while a student in Valencia
that he wrote his first revolutionary
composition.
eft was a poem against the King
and was condemned by the tribunal
But they couldn't punish me because
I was only Is and under age"
Later, however, he found that one
could be punished for things done in
the early twenties. Always a republi-
can, he was condemned to fourteen
years Imprisonment for his interest
in the independence of Cuba at the
time of the Spanish-American war
He served only year and half in
prison, as the sentence was committed,
and after that he was elected a
Deputy, representing his native city
of Valencia at Madrid. He was seven
times a Deputy.
"Not until I left political life and
declined reelection to the National
Chamber did 1 begin to live. While
q Deputy I was often in misery,
greater misery than / can tell you.
All, you have no idea of itl'

if to ssep the memories from bursting

stayed six years. The same thing may
come to pass in North America. l
may remain two or three years if it
pleases me.
"When l went to South America
soon found that I liked the country.
I founded a village there which I
named Cervantes and l led the life of
a cowboy. At the start l had the in
tention Of writing a series of novels
about South America. There were
to be fifteen in all, including Peru,
Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Argentina, and
all. The first of the series, Los Argo-
nautas, which concluded with the ar
rival at Buenos Ayres, for it was
prologue, was published in July,
1914. Then the great war came. 1t
isn't worth while, l said, to go on
with the series. So there it stopped,
although | had studied eight years
for it, reading all of the works deal
ing with the Spanish discoveries and
Christopher Columbus. Some day l
may finish the series, but first I want
now to write of North America.
81 will see many things in the
United States. My eyes are a species
of Photographic plate that will give
me an impression of everything. I'm
a terrible man for that"
He laughed and fingered his. cravat,
encircled by a black ivory ring set
with a diamond.
"Do you know that I ran around
Argentina so much that the President
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-10-26

said: The only man who knows the
republic is Ibanez'f
In Argentina I discovered that
everybody goes to Buenos Ayres and
knows nothing about the rest of the
country, which contains the biggest
mountains in the world. l believe it
is the same with the United States.
Everybody goes to New York. The
foreigner is likely to think that your
country is a place of big cities with
narrow little streets into which the
sun never comes and where there is
much noise, forgetting that you have
Niagara Falls, great national parks,
mountains, California, vast lakes.
All, I have seen the photo
graphs.
".
He smiled pleasantly at the thought
of what he was soon to see. 1t is his
idea, he said, to do New York first,
and then the other big cities. In his
first lecture at Columbia he will talk
on Spanish discoveries. For the other
lectures which he will give through
out the States he has three topics:
How he came to write The -Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse; how
Europe regards the United States;
how to write a novel.
In the lecture on how he came to
write The -Four Horsemen >of the
Apocalypse he will tell of the trips
he made to the front with the French
General commanding the Fifth Army,

lCENTE BLASCO IBANEZ,
' the Spanish novelist, is on his
way to New York. He goes with the
avowed intention Of putting the
United States in the next novel he
writes.
Yes, assuredly the next novel
write will be of the United States, ,"
he said in French. 81 am curious to
see the country. l am sure it is poetic
and grandiose, that nature is thing
superb there" He lifted his arms
out OF his red smoking jacket to make
gesture encompassing the great
mountains of the West.
Ibanez sat at his work table in his
apartment at Rue Rennequin. He
had just returned to Paris from his
villa at Nice. He is a big man about
the head and shoulders, with a face
that has in it not so much the lines as
the shadows that come from an adven-
turops life and one of extreme activ-
ity. 81 am so years DID," he said,
"but | don't look it, do II" And,
frankly, he doesn't. His Jet black
hair has only few wisps of gray at
the temples; his very dark brown eyes
are alert and constantly moving in
sockets worn deep by much searching.
In his hand he held an amber cigar
holder, but the cigar in it was only an
imitation thing made of wood-the
strongest tobacco his doctor will let
him use at present. He smiled as he
displayed this piece Of camouAage.
"Ah, l used to smoke twenty cigars
day. Big ones, too. Now l must
stop it. But 1 feel easier with this
piece of wood in my mouth" And
he raised the imitation cigar with its
painted ash at the end and pulled at
it thoughtfully.
81 have already written Of the
Americans in my last book, Woman's
Enemy, which will be published in a
month or two. The scene passes
largely at Monte Carlo and the Cote
d'Azur, where I saw thousands of
Americans. Oh, Nice was full of
them; they were everywhere. 1t was
seldom you saw a Frenchman. Only
Americans, American bands and
American flags; my book has in it the
Intervention of the United States in
the war and it ends with these scenes
at Nice.
Ibanez sent the manuscript of this
novel to his publishers in the United
States for translation at the same
time that he sent it to his publishers
in Spain. One of the figures in the
book will be President Wilson.
81 believe that Mr.. Wilson is the
first poet of our epoch" he said.
"He doesn't write verse, but he
dreams of humanity. He is an ethe-
real spirit, moving with the angels,
and he has the mentality of the poet. "
III.
Ibanez is going to the United States
with the intention Of staying only a
few months, but he admits that his
sojourn may run on into years, as it
did in South America.
"When first went to South Amer
lea in 1909 1 intended to stay emily
q few months, giving lectures. I

Maine Day" Observance
Program to Be Made

The members of the original bat
tleship Maine memorial committee
have been requested to meet SUM-
day afternoon at 720 Thirteenth
street northwest. The purpose of
the meeting Is stated to be to ap-
point committees and make tenta-
tive arrangements for the observ-
ance of Maine Day, February 15.
This committee held the first
memorial service in the Maine Sec
tion of Arlington National Ceme-
terry in 1907. There were less than
a dozen persons present! and Rev.
Father Eugene A. Hannah. rector
of St. Martins Church. conducted
the religious, service. At that time
not all the victims of the explosion
in Havana harbor had been in
TERED at Arlington. In fact. the
battleship had not been raised and
the bodies of several sailors and
Marines were still in the shattered
hull. These were recovered later.
The small initial ceremony in the
Maine section in 1907 has grown
into a national affair. Thousands
now find their way each anniver-
sary OF the destruction OF the
Maine. February Is. to pay homage
to the heroic sailors and Marines
who sleep there.
