STAND BY!

dSnln8COH, June 20. -
President Wilson in an address
to the American people on the
occasion of the signing of the
peace treaty made a plea for
the acceptance of the treaty
and the covenant of the league
of nations without change or
reservation. His message, CIV
en- out here by Secretary Tu-
multy, said:
"My fellow countrymen:
The treaty Of peace has been
signed. If it is ratified and
acted upon in full and sincere
execution of it's terms. it will
furnish the charter for a new
order of affairs in the world.
1t is a severe treaty in the du-
ties and penalties it imposed
upon Germany but it is severe
only because great wrongs
done by Germany are to be
righted and repaired; it impos-
es nothing that Germany can
not do; and she can regain her
rightful standing in the world
by the prompt and honorable
fulfillment of it's terms.
"And it is much more than
a treaty of peace with Ger
many. 1t liberates great peo-
Piles who have never before
been able to find the way to
liberty. 1t ends, once for all,
an old and intolerable order
under which small groups of
selfish men could use the peo-
pies Of great empires to serve
their ambition for power and
domination. 1t associates the
free governments of the world
in a permanent league in
which they are pledged to use
their united power to maintain
peace by maintaining right and
Justice. 1t makes international
law a reality supported by
imperative sanctions. It does
away with the right of con-
quest and rejects the policy OF
annexation and substitutes a
new order under which back
ward nations = populations
which have not yet come to
political consciousness and
peoples who are ready for in
dependence, but not yet quite
prepared to dispense with pro-
lection and guidance-shall no
more be subjected to the dom
nation and exploitation of a
stronger nation, but shall be
put under the friendly direc-
ton and afforded the helpful
ssistanc ce of governments
which undertake to be respon-
sible to the opioion Of mankind
in the execution of their task
by accepting the direction OF
the league Of nations.
"It recognizes the inalien-
able rights of nationality; the
rights of minorities and the
sanctity of religious belief and
practice. 1t lays the basis for
conventions which shall free
the commercial intercourse OF
the world from unjust and vex-
atious restrictions and for
every sort of international CO.
operation that will serve to
cleanse the life of the world
and facilitate it's common &C
ton in beneficent service OF
every kind. 1t furnishes guar
antees such as were never CIV
en- or even contemplated for
the fair treatment of all who
labor at the daily tasks OF the
world.
"It is for this reason that |
have spoken of it as a great
charter for a new order OF al
fairs. There is ground here
for deep satisfaction, universal
reinsurance and confident
hope.

FLOODED AGAIN

Estancia had another flood
Monday night-not all of its
own making, however. The
rain was far heavier to the
west of town, seeming to have
been heaviest about six or sew
en- miles west.
AS will be noted elsewhere
the rainfall was 81 of an inch
in Estancia. But the waters
came from the west, and the
town was flooded worse than
for many years. This time our
protecting ditch was not near
ly equal to the occasion. 1t
was clogged somewhat by tum-
bleweeds, but those who
cleaned it out Tuesday morn
ing say it would have required
two OF three such bitches, all
clear, to have carried the wa
ter.
Cellars were flooded all
over the business part of town,
and pretty heavy damage to
merchants and others resulted.
Charley Burruss had probably
1900 worth of goods in his
cellar, all damaged to a great
er or lesser extent. There was
soap to the amount of several
hundred dollars.
The Farmers and Stockmens
Equity Exchange also had
large quantities of goods in the
cellar, and sustained heavy
damage. George Fenley's
heating plant at his barber
shop was flooded, and also the
power and lighting plant at
Mr.. Stubblefield's Pastime
Theater.
The Estancia Drug Co.
warehouse was flooded to a
depth of about three inches,
but there was no loss except
600 pounds Of salt. The sacks
were left, and that was all.
Doubtless there was other
damage.
There was considerable
damage to crops in the country
by washing, Mr.. Grin being the
heaviest sufferer reported in
that respect. Seth Williams
reports a few rods of fence
out, and a few acres
of crops washed more or less.
No doubt others in that vicinity
suffered in like manner.
On last Thursday night
there was a heavy rain six or
eight miles west of Willard
that caused a good deal of
damage by washing.
G. L. Riley has about ten
acres of corn washed out, and
parts of rows of beans here
and there, but does not consid-
er himself heavily damaged.
E. Pace is reported to have
been heavily damaged by
of his crops.
S. B. Grin was in town yes
terday and says the report that
his crops were entirely ruined
by the flood is much eXagger-
ated. He has lots of crops yet,
he suffered heavy
damage. He says a consider
able part of the damage to his
corn could be repaired if suf-
ficient help could be got, but
that is out of the question.
Much of the corn that is
is hanging by the roots,
but has fallen over. If it
could be Strengthened up by
hand and soil drawn around it,
it would go right along as if
nothing had happened.

OF the 81 100000 voted 100000 for permanent high
WAYS and as important as the needs for which the
remainder of the amount is to be spent none is more
important and will prove greater step forward
than the road bonds.
whole state Sumter will vote April a bond issue
of 100000 for permanent highways in the county, the
county paved roads, and the of the
state will be on Sumter for the next five weeks.
One feature of this bond proposal alone makes its
appeal almost universal: FOR EVERY DOLLAR SUM
TER COUNTY PUTS INTO PERMANENT ROADS THE
GOVERNMENT PUTS UP AN ADDITIONAL DOLLAR
that highways will be paved for so cents
on the dollar of outlay and there is other
way to get this federal money. IF WE DON'T GET IT
SOME OTHER COUNTY WILL OR IT WILL BE FOR
FEITED BACK INTO THE TREASURY.
The announced plan of the Sumter commissioners to
allow the people themselves select the roads to be
paved through committee chosen by each militia dis
trict to act with the government representative
all of any district being left except by
decision. This proposal is the soul of fairness

The manner of raising armies will
Great Britain and the United States,
it is almost certain, would rely on
volunteers, attracted by good pay.
France and Italy possibly would re-
turn to conscription on the ground
that they couldn't pay wages corre-
spending to those paid in the British
and American armies. But whereas
France had to conscript an army of
100000 before the war, she prob
ably would need only 20 or 25 per
cent of that number under the league
off nations plan.
In the case of Great Britain and
the United States the number of SOL
diers would approximate their for
mer standing armies of 100000 for
the British and $4,000 for the Amer
leans. When the central powers be-
came members the league would fix
the size of their armies. Only great
emergencies will be likely to call
such armies to distant points. In the
event of troubles on the American
continent the United States would be
directed by the league to take ac-
ton. Similarly. European troubles
would be settled by the utilization of
armies nearest the districts affected.
1t is believed this plan will meet
with the readiest approval of all
countries, since it means the least
change in present methods, and over
comes the natural prejudices felt in
other countries, as we'll as America,
against sending troops to distant
lands except in case of greatest
provocation. Interchanges of views
by the various powers indicate that
one feature of the new freedom of
the seas laws will be prohibition of
floating mines outside of territorial
waters. Such mines would have tc
be anchored and would be designed
so they would be rendered non-explo-
siye in case they broke loose. The
three-mile limit to territorial waters
will possibly be extended, however,
due to the fact that modern guns.
both land and naval, have a greater
range than ever before.
The special committee drafting the
constitution of the league of nations
has Professionally agreed to the pre-
amble and two of the articles. it is
officially announced. Satisfactory
progress is being made on other parts
of the draft.

Ryan's Hard Luck Tale.
John D. Ryan of the Amalgamated
Copper company went before the
agents of the department of labor
and miners, and delivered himself
of a Woeful tale regarding the pres
ent condition of the copper indus
try. 1t was pointed out by him that
there has been no market for cop
per since the armistice was signed.
The sales for the last Is days do not
amount to per cent of the output
The copper stocks on hand at mill

total about 1,000,0OO,OOO pounds
representing over s175,00O, 900 tied
up in stocks.
Space is too valuable to give in de.
tail a verbatim report of Jawn D.'s
fearful tale but that it was wonder
fully effective is proved by the fac
that during their stay in Washington
the labor men have interviewed tn.
