Upon closer search Of the premises
another suit case was found under
the house. 1t was filled with stolen
merchandise consisting of shoes,
coats, silk waist, etc.
The authorities of Sylvania, Ga,
were notified of the arrest OF Neely'
and a telegram from sheriff Scott OF
Scriven county was received by She
riff Graham yesterday stating that
the confession made by Nicely were
true and requested that he be
turned over to him for extradition
to Georgia. Deputy Sheriff Cockfeld
informed US that the request will be
granted, thus saving the county OF
the expense of holding Nicely in Jail
for trial, at the next term OF court
which will not be held until February,
1920. Alas! Johnson beat his mis-
tress just once too often else ne
might still be free and an object OF
Kintstree charity, but when Mr..
Deery went to look after the family
needs Saturday morning the woman
was sore, nervous and angry from
the beating she had just received
She retaliated by telling the story
that landed her assailent in the

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING
Kingstree To Have Modern Steam
Laundry And New Hotel.

At a special meeting of the King
tree Board of Trade held Friday
night, at the call of the president,
P. H. Stoll, movement that had been
under way for some time with view
to installing a steam laundry and a
new hotel for the town of Kingstree
were practically settled, at least so
far as the Board of Trade is concern
ed. The laundry will be incorporated
at once by A. C.. Kinds, Mr.. w. H.
Carr and Thos. McCutchen as board
of corporators. The project is cap
italized at $4,000. At meeting of
the board some time ago this matter
came up for consideration and SO
strongly appealed to the citizens of
the town that without any effort
whatever over $4,000 was subscribed
by men present at the meeting.
1t is believed that Kingstree will
have a new and up to date hotel
within the next year. There are. two
propositions now pending. One is the
erection of a hotel building on the
south side of West Main street by a
stock company and for which a char
ter has already been applied. The
other relates to the Kellahan hotel
property which may be taken over
and rebuilt on modern plans that
have already been prepared by an
architect for the owner of the prop
erty, Tom M. Kellahan.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Mr.. Stoll rendered his resignation as
he expect to be absent from home,
he expects to be- absent from home
having been elected to congress from
this district to fill the unexpired
term of the late ]. w. Ragsdale. A
vote of thanks was rendered MIR.

ceed Mr.. Stoll as president.

He will take the oath of office IN a

in the legislative hall, made vacant
by the death of our former represen-
tative j. w. Ragsdale.
Mr.. Stoll will probably feel a little
embarrassment upon first taking his
seat in this august body, and its ses-
sions may appear to be strange pro-
ceedings, but one thing we feel sure
of: Philip H. Stoll will represent the
people of his district conscientiously,
honorably and in a manner believed
by himself to be for their very best
interests.

CHAS. ELLIS ARRESTED
Fugitive Returns on Visit And Is
Lodged In Jail

Charles Ellis, colored man about
} years of age, is again behind the
ars of the Williamsburg County
all to await trial.
In June 1918 Ellis, who shortly be-
ore came to this county from Georg-
"a and was living on the farm OF Mr..
n. U. Kinder, shot his wife, painful
" injurying her. At the time ne
was arrested by Mr.. Kinder and turn
ed over to the authorities in Kings
tree, where he was lodged in Jail.
He was later released on bond and
failed to show up for trial, having
made his escape from the county.
Mr.. Kinder heard this week that
Ellis was back here on visit to his
mother, and in company with MIR.
Patrick, went there and arrested him.
The fugitive is again in jail and
will be called to trial perhaps, at the
next term of the sessions court. "

Short Of Teachers

At all of the schools in the county
which have opened so far, and the
time has past for the beginning of
the term, there is a record breaking
attendance. Superintendent Gasque
stated that the schools were running
over, though the scarcity of teachers
had become a serious proposition.
On this account about four schools
in the county have not begun work
yet. Mr.. Gasque is little disappoint-
ed in not having the whole county at
work. He had hoped that the salary
increases would be sufficiently at
tractive to fill the departments with
teachers.-Florence Times.

PRESIDENT SPEAKS
TO COAL MINERS
HOLDS PROPOSED STRIKE TO
BE UNJUSTIFIABLE AND
UNLAWFUL

Holding the impending coal strike
to be not only unjustifable but also
unlawful, President Wilson in
statement issued last Saturday, with
the support of his entire cabinet, call
ed on the coal miners of the nation,
both union officers and members to
rescind the strike order effective No
vember l.
The president declined to enter in
to the merits of the controversy be-
tween the miners and operators, but
emphatically declared that the strike,
which he characterized as the most
far reaching proposal in the nations
history to restrict production and
distribution of all necessaries Of life,
had apparently been ordered without
vote Of the individual miners con-
cerned. For this reason, the presi-
dent serves definite notice "that the
law will be enforced and the means
will be found to protect the interests
of the nation in any emergency that
may arise out of this unhandy busi-
ness"
The presidents statement was is
sued after his cabinet had gone over
the situation with Secretary Wilson
of the labor department, whose eff
forts to bring miners and operators
together in negotiations had failed.
The president, in his statement, re-
viewed the steps leading up to the
strike call, including the Cleveland
convention of the United Mine Work
ers of America, one month ago, at
which the demands for 30 hour
week and a 60 per cent increase in
wages was formulated. The war in
itself, the president asserted, still
was a fact, peace negotiations still
in suspense and troops still being
transported. Because of these facts
and the added consideration that VIC
tins of the strike would be among
both the rich and the poor Of the ma
ton, the president said the proposed
walkout could only be considered as
unlawful and as the nations execu-
tive entrusted with enforcement OF
the law, he would use the means at
his disposal to prevent any stoppage
of work.
The services of the government as
mediator offered Saturday by the
president through Secretary Wilson
but not accepted, were again held
out, the president declaring that ne
held himself in readiness at the re-
quest of either or both sides to ap-
point a commission to investigate the
situation, to effect an orderly settle
ment of disputed questions with due
recognition of the rights Of the
miners, the operators and the public.
There was no direct intimation OF
what steps the cabinet had discussed
to prevent stoppage of work should
the presidents solemn warning to the
miners to rescind the strike order
fail of results. It was regarded as
significant, however, that attention
was drawn in White House circles to
the statement made by Secretary ba-
ker in a recent address in Indiana
polls. when Mr.. Baker announced that
department commspders had been
directed to furnish troops at the re-
quest of governors without referring
the matter to Washington. MAJOR

FORM 4 LEAGUE
 OR BUILD NAVY
SECRETARY DANIELS TELLS COM MlTTEE U. s. MUST LEAD IF
 AGREEMENT FAILS.

Washington.-Unless a league of nations or other tribunal that will make certain the limitation of inter- national armament. is established, the United States must build the greatest navy in the world, Secretary Daniels told the House Naval Committee.
 Tt is my firm conviction" said the secretary, that if the conference at Versailles does not result in a gen. eral agreement to put an end to naval building on the part of all the nations, then the United States must bend her energies, must give her men and give her money to the task of the creation of incomparably the greatest navy in the world"
 With the completion of the pro posed new three year building pro- gram, adding ten dreadnoughts, six battle cruisers, ten scout cruisers and 130 smaller craft to the fleet, America still will rank second in naval strength to Great Britain, said the secretary, WHO appeared before the committee tO make the final recommendations for the 1920 naval bill.
 Does the president back the policy to make us the first naval power in the world?" asked Representative Kel ly of Michigan.
 "Yes, if competitive building Is to continue" said MT. Daniels. We are now easily the second naval power but this program will not make us the first"

Hoover from Paris.
 Mir. Hooyer's message revealed that the work of relief and rehabilitation in France will fall more heavily on the commission than had been expect ed. The destruction wrought by the German army was so complete, Mir. Hoover said, that the relief work must include not only food and clothing, but housing over a considerable area.
 An enlarged organization to handle the situation is being built up. and supplies have been obtained from the quartermaster's department of the American army. A large amount of secondhand barrack material has also been taken over from. the army and navy and 150 volunteers from the American navy are experimenting the construction of barracks near ruined villages for the inhabitants.
