under the guidance of my secretary
Mr., Tumulty, to do a months work

all of it has been done badly, but
inasumch as there is a necessary
pressure upon my time, know that
you will excuse me from taking
part in your conference, much as
very hearty welcome and to express
should be profited by doing so.
MY present duty is to bid you a
my qualification that so many execu-
tives of cities and States have found
the time and the inclination to come
together on the very important mat

duty of caring for our people in the

country together so that they may
profit by each others suggestions and

the privilege of the Federal Govern

with the greatest pleasure If you will
guide us with your suggestions.
II hope that the discussions of this
conference will take as wide a scope
as you think necessary. We are not
to discuss any single or narrow sub
ject.

the cases of their clients on the
claim that the New York statute
which makes it crime to advocate
the overthrow of organized govern

that while it is felonious to resist a

SUMTER CROP
ALREADY PAST
1920 BALES

That Sumter county's 1919 cotton
crop will reach $1,000 bales, was the
belief expressed today by VIM. T.
Persons, government census taker for
this county, as he made public his re-
port to the U. S. bureau of census on
ginnings up to November IA, show
ING the total to that date to be 49,
200. counting round as half bales.
This compared with 23,1O7 bales GIN
ming to the same date a year ago
Il may be wrong in this estimate
said Mr.. Persons, "but believe it will
reach that figure. There will be some
cotton ginned in this county even af-
ter January / although not much.
The ginnings thus far have proved
an agreeable disappointment to a
large majority of farmers and others
who had been expecting maximum
of 13.5OO bales for the county.

WILSON TO Be
FIRST TRIED IN
CRIMINALCOURT

The case again Walter W. Wilson,
under Indictment for the murder of
Joel Edge, will be the first criminal
case brought to trial at the Novem-
Der term of the Sumter Superior
Court, and will be called next Tues
day morning. The case of Henry
Binyard, colored, indicted Jointly
with him for the same offense, will
be called next. Sam Duckworth, in
dicted as the slayer Of his wife, will
be the third prisoner brought to trial,
and Joshua Floyd, colored, also
charged with wife murder, will be
the fourth case called.
This developed this morning when
Judge Littlejohn assigned cases at
the assembling of court. Both sides
announced ready in every case called,
except of Duckworth, his attorney,
Dan Chappell, informing Judge Lit
tleiohn that he wished to reserve the
right later to move for continu-
ance on the ground that one OF his
material witnesses is now in the hos
pital and may not be able to attend
court. In the cases of Wilson and
Binyard, ]. E. Sheppard, represent
ing Wilson, and W. T. Lane, repre-
senting Binyard, gave notice of in
tention to go to trial separately, and
when they interrogated Solicitor
FELTON, as to which defendant he pro-
posed to place on trial first they were
informed that Wilson would be
chosen.
The criminal cases will not be call
ed until Tuesday, Monday being CIV
en- over to civil business which will
not be disposed of this week.

CORDELE SEEKS
WISE BROTHERS.
BIG SANITARIUM
Plan $1OO,O 900 Stock In
stitution; Drs. Wise To
Invest $751; 900

CORDELE, Nov. 28.-At full
meeting of business men with local
physicians and DIR. Thad Wise, of
Plains Tuesday evening in the assem-
bly, room of the public library, a
100000 hospital was discussed in a
manner which displayed deep interest,
and DIR. Wise told the meeting that he
and his brothers would pledge SIS,
to such an enterprise in Cordele. They
wanted to come here and develop their
larger practice which has overgrown
their plant in Plains.
R. L. Deckle who has been chairman
of the special hospital committee for
some months, presided. A number of
local citizens, among them Judge W.
P. Fleming, o. M. Heard, j. ]. Will
liams, T. J. Westbrook, Dr. 7. J. Nc
Arthur, DIR. j. A. Ward and others
took interested part in the discussions
and manifested strong desire to get
plans developed whereby a hospital
can be built.
The old committee consisting of R.
L. Deckle, J. J. Williams, Jerry Slade,
J. W. Cannon and A. F. Churchwell,
was entrusted to work the matter out
in conjunction with committee Of
local physicians composed of Drs.
Ward, Macarthur, Bradley, Smith and
Whelchel. A meeting of this joint
committee will be held Friday and
the start made, it is hoped. All the
committee members are hopeful Of
tn emost satisfactory results.
It is planned to get the needed
fund through stock subscriptions
taken in the local community and
possibly throughout the county.
The plans must be definitely work
ed out within week.
The physicians of the city are CO.
operating in the movement, matter
which has impressed the Drs. Wise
favorably. 1t is understood that the
Wise Brothers have been considering
going to Americus, but have met the
opposition of the local physicians
there. The Americas Chamber of
Commerce, however, has invited them
to come to Americus, but apparently
the matter has not progressed much
bevond the invitation, stage, although
it is understood the Drs. Wise have
been favorable at all times to Ameri-
Gus.

Of the facts will be made
the American government has no in
tention of receding from its position
in the Jenkins case, administration
officials declared today. The govern
ment, they said, has prepared for the
next step, which may take the form
of an ultimatum to the Mexican gov

SO indicated that negotiations with
Mexico will not be prolonged if UNI
satisfactory, and that the American
government had decided upon a
course of action and was prepared to
carry it out, should it become neces-
