Brother Commits Suicide.

Estill, Jan. All. NJ. Maner, broth
er of w. F. Maner, whose dead body
was found Wednesday morning on the
porch of his home in the Garnett Sec
ton of Hampton county, today took
his own life at his home near the
scene of his brothers death. For the
last day or two detectives had been
investigating the death Of W. F.
Maner, who was at first thought to
have been murdered with robbery for
the motive. 1t is said that H. M.
Maner knew of the character of the
evidence secured by the detectives.
The coroner's jury conducting the in
uuiry into the death of W. F. Maner
was to have reconvened today. II. M.
Maner is said to have left note dis
claiming responsibility for the death
of his brother.
The Maners were prominent in this
section and the. death of the brothers
is therefore of widespread interest.
Both had important social and fnan-
cial connections in South Carolina
and other States and both were un-
married.

COTTON WILL GO HIGHER.
Committee Urges Farmers to Stand
United.

The central committee of fifteen of
the South Carolina Cotton Growers
Association met in the Office of Gov
ernor Manning Saturday morning.
After discussing the cotton holding
situation in it's various aspects, the
following resolution was adopted:
First. That though the situation
has changed in some respects, we are
still firmly of the opinion that the
minimum price of 35 cents can be OBJ
tanned by concerted holding and can
not be obtained by any other means
at an early date.
Second. That all farmers and
business men be urged to continue
to support earnestly the holding
movement.
Third. That the attention of the
farmers bsdirected to the Importance
of increasing their acreage of food
crops and of planting only a very
moderate acreage in cotton in 1919,
and that there are two unanswerable
arguments for this course:
"(a) That we may do our duty in
furnishing our share of the food for
a hungry world, in addition to supply
ing our own needs.
"(b) That an increase in food
acreage means a reduction of cotton
acreage and an enhancement of the
price of the next CROP"
The following participated in the
discussion and adopted the resolu-
ton: Governor Manning, D. R. Cox
er, E. w. Dabbs, J. H. Claffy, A. c.
Summers, A. J. A. Perritt, and Mrs.
Watkins.

WHITE MAN SURRENDERS.
Says He Helped Rob Postoffice in
Virginia.

Greenville, Jan. 5.-Declaring
that he had taken part in a postofice
robbery at Bedford, Va, on Novem-
Der %, Arthur Barrett, a young white
man, appeared at the Office of the
postoffice inspector here a week ago
and said he wanted to give himself
up to the authorities, since his con-
science had worried him consider
ably. The young man was given
formal preliminary day or so ago
here, was bound over to the Federal
Court for trial, and will probably be
sent back to Bedford in the next few
days. The postoffice Inspector COM
municated with the Bedford authori-
ties and found the facts substantially
as stated by the young man. He said
he had been persuaded to 60 into the
robbery by two other men whom he
met the same day and whose names
he did not know. They got into the
office, he said, but not into the safe,
but rif1ed some packages which they
found on the floor. Barrett said he
repented after he had left the post
office, and came back to return the
goods he took, but found the Office
already occupied, and left them out
side.

Armenians Killed By Turks.

Paris, Jan. 2.-In giving details
of the Armenian massacres in Turk
ey in the last five years, the Constan-
tinople correspondent of the Petit
Parisien says that at one time 1OO,-
600 Armenians were concentrated
for alleged strategical reasons at
Dorgor, Arabia. The Turkish au-
thorities in Constantinople thought
the number too high and gave orders
that $4,000 of the Armenians be put
out of the way.
In the Mush valley, the correspond
ent adds, the Kurds robbed 1000 Ar
menian women. Later suspecting
that the women had swallowed their
Jewels, the Kurds killed them in a
horrible manner and burned the bod
les. The next day, the correspondent
continues, "these monsters quietly
sifted the ashes, seeking the jewels. "
The correspondent reports that in
the same region 1000 children be-
tween three and ten years of age
died of starvation, and 100 women
were buried alive in the trenches
which the Turks first forced them to
dig.

in County During Ten Days.

Orangeburg, Jan. 1.-Belton D.
Jeffcoat, a well known farmer of the
North section of Orangeburg county,
was shot and killed last night by
negro, named Esau Golfer. 1t appears
that the gun Golfer used was charged
with buck shot. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Jeffcoat went to the house Of Golfer
last night and fired a load Of buck
shot into the house. Golfer came out
and returned the fire, instantly kill
ing Mr.. Jeffcoat. It is further al
legged that Golfer was shot in the leg
some time ago at night, when he was
in his lot. Mr.. Jeffcoat was sue
cessful farmer and had accumulated
wealth. He was about 46 years Of
age and leaves a family. Sheriff R.
F. Dukes went to the scene of the
shooting and brought Golfer to the
Orangeburg Jail, where he is now
being held.
This is the third killing in Orange
burg county in the. past ten days, all
parties being we'll known. w. Pres
ton McAlhaney, of Branchville, and
Fuller Sanford, of the Norway Sec
tion, being the other two well known
white farmers killed. McAlhaney
was killed by negro, who was also
killed by McAlhaney after he was

Shoe Shine Results in Tragedy.

Latta, Jan. LIN a difficulty here
last night resulting from dissatisfac-
tion over the award in shoe shine
contest, the Rev. w. B. Roman, pas
tor of the Latta Baptist church for
negroes, who also conducted res
taurant for negroes, received two
gashes in the leg from which he bled
to death before medical assistance
could be had for him. Romans son
and another negro, Irwin Legette,
we're shining shoes of third negro,
Hillard Nolen, under an agreement
with Nolen that the one who did the
best work was to receive the pay for
the shine. The Roman boy became
dissatisfied over the award, which
was given to Legette, and took the
matter to his father, who was in the
adjoining room at the restaurant. and
a fight ensued, in which bottles we're
freely thrown. The elder Roman is
said to have backed off when he saw
a razor in the hand of Legette and in
attempting to get out of the way fell
into the gutter and was then cut by
Legette. Roman died in few min
utes.
Legette had recently been dis
charged from the army and was in
uniform when the difficulty occurred.
He succeeded in evading the officers
and is still at large. Newsome was
arrested and locked up.
Roman was highly regarded by
the white people of this place as well
as by his own race. He was pastor
of the Baptist church here during
the last year. Foremerly he had
served many churches in the negro
Methodist conference. He was in
dustrious and made money in his
restaurant. He came to Latta from
Marion.

$500 Per Year in Advance
I Big FLEETS BY SUMMER
ONE ON ATLANTIC COAST, OTHER
ON THE PACIFIC.
Daniels Says Plan Has the Enthusi-
astic Endorsement of Admiral
Benson.

Washington, Jan. Ito keep the
navy eft and on it's toes" two great
fleets, one based on the Pacific coast
and the other on the Atlantic coast,
will be established by next summer
with war games and Joint maneuvers
ais a part of regular programme of
training.
Secretary Daniels, in explaining his
plans to the house naval committee
today, said that after every war
there is tendency for the navy to
fetragrade and that the fleet division
has been determined upon to prevent
any slump. The plan, he said, had
received the enthusiastic endorse
ment of Admiral Benson, chief of
operation, who is now in Europe
with the peace delegation.
can admiral who can stay long
enough to stir. up ambition will be
placed in command of each fleet, Mr..
Daniels said, and all officers will be
kept on their ships for two years. In
effect, the Secretary said, there will
be a war between the Atlantic and
Pacific fleets, which will so stimu-
late the keenness that it will make
the men feel they are in actual war"
Mr.. Daniels did not indicate to the
committee how many ships will be in
each feet. It is assumed, however,
that there will be an actual distribu-
ton of the capital ships, most OF
which have heretofore been kept on
the Atlantic coast.
During joint maneuvers the COM
.bined feet will visit each coast so as
to give the people on the Atlantic
and Pacific seaboards an opportunity
to see the full naval force.
Mr.. Daniels also told the committee
that during the peace times the sub
marine bases at San Diego, CAL, Key
West, Fla, and New London, Conn,
and the air defense stations at San
Diego and Pensacola, Fla, will be re-
tanned. The principal training sta
tions for seamen in the East will be
at Chicago, Hampton Roads and New
port, r. I.
Secretary Daniels and Admiral
Benson plan to visit the Pacific coast
next summer to study conditions
there with a view to recommending
extension of navy yards, while other
officials will visit Eastern yards for
the same purpose. In this connection
the Secretary recommended that Con-
gress wait until it's next session be-
fore providing funds for additions to
thei yards as the present plants can
care for both fleets for some time.

Ex-Kaiser Greatly Troubled in Mind.

Amerongen, Holland, Wednesday,
Jan. 1.-Even the wonderful spring
like weather of the new year did not
bring the former German Emperor
outside of Amerongen Castle, al
though his condition is improving
daily. The principal cause Of his in
disposition appears to be mental de-
preston, induced by the gradual re-
alization of the full extent OF his
downfall, Recent reports from Ger
many are said to have accentuated
this feeling.
Lack of open air exercise and con-
tinual brooding have had such telling
effect on Herr Hohenzollern's appear
ance that he scarcely is recognizable
to those who saw him when he first
came to Amerongen. His Wife dis
plays much more bouyant spirits and
makes every effort to cheer him.
News of the birth of another grand
child by the wife of Prince Oscar,
reached the former imperial couple
yesterday, and subsequently several
dispatches were received by them.
The ex-monarch did not sit up "to
see the new year in," but attended
the customary morning prayer in the
castle chapel.
The Won Bentinicks had large
shooting parties yesterday and today
in the vicinity of the castle, but Herr
Hohenzollern could not be induced to
join them. One Of the younger Won
Bentinicks, who had been an officer
in the German navy, returned to Am
erongen last night, having resigned
his commission.
There is not a sign of the immedi-
ate removal of the former Emperor,
although many reports are current to
that effect
