because of the certainty that the
resumption Of his official duties by
President Wilson will be long delayed,
the cabinet Inns taken matters into It's
own hands and is virtually running
the government For the first time
since Mr. Wilson became the chief
magistrate il Is performing the func-
tious allotted 1t by the Constitution.
Each member of the cabinet is handling
all executive matters within its juris-
diction. ana all other questions that
come up are passed on by the full cab
met The most important decisions
are submitted to Mr. Wilson for his
approval, through Admiral Grayson.
Specifically, the industrial and eco
monte situation which has been
brought TO crisis by the steel strike
Is being handled by Secretary Baker
Secretary Of Labor Wilson is looking
after the threatened coal miners
strike. and Secretary of Agriculture
Houston Is doing what he can to avert
the sugar famine
The presidents physicians and ev-
erybody at the White House have com
mined to keep from the public the real
character of his Illness. Admiral Gray
son told the cabnet what II Is. but
pledged it 10 secrecy All the people
are permitted to know ~ contained
In the official bulletins, which report
Mr.. Wilson's continued Improvement
with occasional slight setbacks such
as headache, and restlessness due to
Swelling of the prostate gland. The
story that he had lesion of the brain
has been vigorously though unofiically
denied but II Is admitted that his
complete recovery Is contingent on
kceping him absolutely at rest In mind
and body. The truth appears to be
that he has had no cerebral attack but
s. suffering from a general nervous
aud physical breakdown.

The League OF Nations came into
being on October 10, Great Britain,
France and IDLY having ratified the
treaty. Steps were taken at once look
ing to Its regular organization, and
goodness knows there is enough for II
to do.
The United States is still outside
the league and the contest In the sen
ate continues undated. Considerable
time and much vehement language
were devoted last week to debating
the proposed Shantung amendment.
As we expected, II was voted down,
but almost every senator who spoke
in opposition TO II, said he favored a
reservation on the same lines Sena'
tor Shields Of Tennessee, Democrat,
declared himself In favor Of the Lodge
reservations and the Johnson amend
ment giving the United States rs many
votes In the league as Great Britain.
The administration forces let II be
known on Wednesday that they were
determined to vote for rejection OF the
treaty with the Lodge reservations,
and the opposition at once prepared
TO retaliate with resolution declnr-
Ing the war Mt an end and restoring
the status of peace.
The entente allies are disturbed
over the American situation because
the many commissions provided for In
the treaty must he organized very soon.
The formal exchange OF ratlhcatlons
Of the treaty which will put II into
effect was delayed by the allies In con
sequence.

Lieutenant D'Annunzio seems TO
have adopted a more yielding attitude
in regard to Fiume, which he still
holds. He has sent to Premier Gle
menceau an appeal to take the inltla.
tive in obtaining from the allied gov
ernments a declaration making Fiume
an open port. The present Italian plan
contenplates an Independent buffer
state at Fiume with the extension OF
Italian control over the strip Of coast
from Fiume to Trieste so the new
state shall abut on Italian territory
on that side and not be surrounded
by Jugo-Slavla influence. The dan.
ger of war over this problem Is fad.

Despite their wartime agreement to
work at the present scale until peace
is officially declared or until March 81,
1920, the soft coal miners of the coun-
try about 6OO, 900 in number have been
ordered out on strike on November !.
Secretary OF Labor Wilson took i'm
mediate steps to avert the strike. and
ut last reports was hopeful of success
The miners demand five-day week
six-hour day and a general wage in
crease of 60 per cent. The miners now
receive SO to so day and the mine
laborers So.
The strike OF the longshoremen,
followed by that Of the teamsters and
chauffeurs, in New York threatened
the metropolis with serious food
shortage, for shipments were left to
rot on the docks. The collapse of the
strike was foreshadowed by the vote
Of several Of the local unions to return
to work, and the firm stand taken by
the railway administration in dealing
with the express company employees.

 They Know of the Trial.

the German officers are increasing alarmingly, especially ir Prussia, where the number of suicides is 3S per cent more than before it became known that the former emperor would be placed on trial by the allies, ac- cording to the Munich newspapers
 The wives of the officers also are reported to be taking their own lives.
 The increase in the number of sui cides is attributed not only to patriotic despair, but to the loss by the off, cers of their past social positions.

A FAMILY
 MEDICINE
lp Her Mothers Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black Dsaught. Relief From Head
 ache, Malaria, C!!.iill,,s, Etc.

Rlnggo1d, Ga.--- Mrs. Chas. Gaston of this place, writes: q am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact, 1t was one of our family medicines. Also in my mothers home, when l was 8 child. When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us dose of Blaci1-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring. we would have malaria and ehills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black -Draught pretty reg ular until the liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without it, for it certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of Black Dcaught when not so we'll saves lot of days in bed"
 Thedfords Black-Draught has been in use for many years in the treat ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it now enjoys Is proof of it's merit.
 If your liver is not doing it's duty, YOU will suffer from such disagree nble symptoms as headache, bilious ness, constipation, indigestion, etc., md unless something is done, serious trouble may result.
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is purely vegetable, and acts in a prompt and natural way, eeeulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thed' lords the original and genuine. E a

POLIAKOFF-RAMBRO.
Former Bamberg Merchant Married
in Baltimore June "a.

A wedding of interest in Bamberg
was that of Mr.. Louis G. Poliakoff,
formerly of this city, now located in
Baltimore, to Miss Naomi Rambro,
of Baltimore, which took place in
that city on Tuesday, June "a.
The party was taken in taxicabs
from the residence of the brides
brothers to a public hall where the
wedding ceremony was performed by
Rabbi Swartz, of Baltimore, assisted
by Rabbi A. J. Poliakoff, of Augusta,
uncle of the groom. The affair was
made a great fete by the relatives
and many friends of the contracting
parties.
A wedding dance and banquet was
put on and enjoyed by those in at
tendance. The bride and bridegroom
received many costly presents, in
cluding checks amounting to over
$1,000. Each of the brides brothers
gave her check for $500 each, and
her two sisters handed her checks
for 500 each. Mr.. J. R. Poliakoff.
of Aiken, father of the bridegroom,
gave his son a check for 5000.
The wedding was one of the big
gest recently held in the Jewish cir
cles of Baltimore. After the we'd
ding Mr.. and Mrs. Poliakoff left fol-
New York and Atlantic City on their
wedding trip. Mr.. Poliakoff will an
gage in the jobbing business in Bal
timore.

course, entails an additional expense
upon the crop in this county, which
an increase in acreage next year will
doubtless remedy.
In view Of the coming of the weevil
(Which is a matter of only short
time) the culture of tobacco in Bam-
berg county is a welcome addition to
the commercial activities of the COM
munity. It offers the farmers of the
county good money-making crop to
take the place of cotton, if cotton
farming becomes improbable, which
is threatened for a few years on ac-
count of the weevil.
Already many of the farmers here
have some tobacco ready for market
ing, and within the next week large
shipments will be made to the mark
cts. The price Of tobacco at this time
is good. and the prediction is general
~ made here that the crop will turn
out fine margin of profit this. sea-

Absent That Day.

A certain methodical teacher had a
regular routine of questions which
she asked her class every Sunday.
The class was always arranged in the
same order and she began with the
same question: "Who made you?''
And the boy at the head of the class
answered, "God." Then to the next
boy, "Who was the first man. and
he answered, adam" One Sunday
the first boy was absent and of course
the usually second boy was at the
head of the class. AS usual, she be-
gan by asking: "Who made you?'
and the boy answered adam"
"No," the teacher said; "God made
you
"I don't think so, miss the boy
replied, "the boy that God made is
not here today. ~

WHO WILL PUSH BUTTON?
Votes to be Cast for Lady or Girl to
Turn on White Way.

Bamberg's white way promises
to be the most modern and up-to-date
thing out. Those in authority say
Bamberg will be second to no town
in the State in the matter of Main
street lighting when this system is
installed. 1t has been so arranged
that Main street after it has been
paved will be opened at the same time
the lights are to be turned on for the
first time.
This will be decidedly the greatest
event in the history of Bamberg. 1t
will mark the dividing line between
the old town and the new city. 1t is
expected that every citizen in Bam-
berg who can possibly leave home
will be on Main street when it is
opened and the lights turned on.
In order to lend interest to this
important event, the city council has
arranged for a voting contest to Sc
lect the girl or lady in Bamberg to
whom will go the honor of pushing
the button. This is ceremony every
woman in Bamberg would feel hon
ored in officiating at.
The full details of the contest have
not yet been arranged, but it is
scheduled to start about August 1,
so that everything will be in shape for
the opening night.
The town authorities and the citi-
zens generally want to make this
event a real town celebration. Bam-
berg will bud into real little city on
that night. The exact date, of course,
of the opening cannot be stated yet,
but it will be known long enough in
advance for the arrangements to be
made.
In the meantime, young men (and
old ones, too) be thinking of the
favor:te you want to push that button.
It's going to be a big ceremony.
