Owing to the flu epidemic the Feb
ruary term court of General Sessions
scheduled to convene next Monday,
has been called off. Notices have been
sent to jurors and witnesses not to
attend. No action has been taken as
to the holding of the, civil term next
month, but If there Is no abatement
in the epidemic # is probable that
this term will be postponed until
some time in the spring.
This action was taken by the local
bar out of Difference to the wishes
of the Board of Health who asked
the members of the bar to meet and
pass a resolution asking the judge
and solicitor not to hold the spring
term. There are no Jail cases and
the judge and solicitor promptly
agreed to the request of the local bar.

number of Dillon's business men at
the offices of Gibson & Muller Tues

property owners in the western sub
urbs and rights-of-way can be Sc
cured to the timber the company
owns in the vicinity of Latta, Bing-
ham and Mallory the company will
begin at once to erect the plant. The
plant will employ a large number Of
men and the payroll will amount to
something like $500 per day. The
company has been operating large
plant at Fairmont for the past sever
al years. 1t has other plants near
Suffolk, Va, and Maryland. The COM
pany has decided to move its Suf-
folk and Maryland plants to Fayette-
vile where the lumber from the Fair
mont and Dillon mills will be manu-
factured into the finished product.
The Beaufort County Lumber Co., is
one of the largest manufacturers of
pine lumber in the United States.
The business men at Tuesdays

pointed to confer with the land own
ers in the western suburbs and also

LLOYD GEORGE
QUITE CHEERFUL
SAYS LEAGUE OF NATIONS
MOVES FORWARD.
Commissions Charged With Various
Missions at Peace Conference
Announces Findings Soon.

London, Feb. 11.-Progress on
the formation of the society OF ma
tions was very satisfactory. Premier
Lloyd George said today in the house
of commons in discussing the work OF
the peace conference. He said he
hoped report would be issued soon
by the commission appointed to con-
slider responsibility for the war and
enemy outrages.
The premier in answering to ques-
tion said that the British representa-
tiyes, like the others, would sign the
treaty of peace Professionally and that
the treaty would be presented to
parliament for ratification. If the
house choose to repudiate it the
! house was all powerful, he said.
The peace commission on indemni-
) ties, the premier said, he hoped,
would issue its report soon.
The premier declared that the con-
ference had made progress beyond
the most sanguino anticipation and
that it was approaching an agree
ment On most questions. 1t would be
a misfortune, he added, If the peace
conference deliberations were dis
cussed in any parliaments before they
were concluded.
If industrial unrest continues the
consequences will be grave to trade
and industry, Mr.. Lloyd George de-
clared. The government, he said
would agree to any kind of an inves-
tigation into the causes of the unrest.
Special war conditions, the pre-
mier thought, had contributed to the
unrest. Among these conditions were
the strain of four years of war and
the fear of unemployment.
The premier said that bills would
be introduced next week dealing with
housing, health, the revival of rural
life. land settlement for soldiers, land
reclamaticn a and afforestation.
\ Mr.. Lloyd George said there would
ke plenty of opportunities for employ
INIT if confidence was given those
ponsible for starting industries
snd unless the cost of production
! went so high that it reduced the pur-
chasing power of the community or
put the country out of the world
market.

Y. w. G. A. Work in County.

Mrs. L. R. Craig, chairman of the
Y. w. c. A. committee for Dillon
county. is planning a campaign for
the purpose of raising Dillon's quota
of Y. w. c. A. funds. Dillon's quota
is very small and there is every rea-
son to believe that the amount will
be readily contributed. The amount
for the entire South Atlantic field is
only $4,000 apportioned as follows:
Virginia, $4,000; North Carolina.
$4,000; South Carolina, $4,000,
Georgia, $4,000; Florida, $1,000.
The money is to be used in complet-
ing the work in which the Y. w. C.
A. was engaged during the war.

tax books at dollar per acre and in
my judgment they are the highest
taxed lands in State. By this czar
method these lands were increased
219 per cent, while the best lands at
$40 were increased only 10 per cent.
Tie commission by such methods as
these convinced the people that they
