TAKEN ILL IN DILLON.
National Bank Examiner Developed
Flu While at Work i'm Dillon.

The death of National Bank EX-
aminer Goodwin which occurred at
Columbia Saturday is of more than
passing interest to Dillonites in that
Mr. Goodwin developed the case of in
fluenza which caused his death while
at work in Dillon.
Mr.. Goodwin with his assistant ar
rived in Dillon on the 4th for the pur-
pose of making the usual semi-annual
audit of the First National Bank.
While at work in the bank Mr. God
win was taken i'll and turning the
work over to his assistant went to
bed at a local hotel. A physician was
called and he was told that he had a
case of influenza. He remained at the
hotel until his assistant had complet-
ed the work at the bank and left for
Florence where it was his intention
to enter an infirmary. 1t seems that
he changed his mind, however, and
went on to Columbia. He was run
ming high temperature when he left
Dillon and it is thought that the trip
taxed his strength and shortly after
his arrival in Columbia he develop
ed double pneumonia. Mr.. Goodwin
was held ir high esteem by bankers
all over the state.

COTTON WAREHOUSE
IN EVERY COUNTY
System Would Make Possible Distrl'
button of Cotton Sales Over
the Year.

Columbia, Feb. 16-Steps will be
taken at the annual meeting of the
American Cotton Association, which
will be held in Montgomery, Ala,
next month, looking to the erection
of cotton warehouses in every county
in the belt, said J. Skottowe Wanna
maker, president of the association
yesterday. An effort will be made
he said, to have these warehouses
erected before harvesting period OF
the 1920 crop so that the sale of that
crop may be stretched over full
period of II months.
1T is our purpose" said Mr.. Wan
namaker Ito have these warehouses
owned and controlled by the people
of the respective counties. They will
be urged by us that steps be taken to
as nearly as possible arrange for
uniform warehouse receipts SO as to
secure the lowest possible interest
rate in borrowing on the cotton
stored in these warehouses.
I'VE will also attempt to secure
pledges which will insure that the
sale of the cotton from the 1920 crop
will be stretched over II month
period, the producer only selling
when there is a legitimate demand
from the manufacturers at a profit
able price. This will be possible with
the warehouse system which we pro-
pose TO create.

BOY MEETS TRAGIC DEATH.

Florence Times.
When William Childers, aged eight
years, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. r. H.
Childers of Magnolia Heights failed
to return home late Saturday after
noon after having gone out to play,
his parents became uneasy and start
ed a search for their boy. In this
search the neighbors joined with the
result that the dead body of the lad
was found later in hole, said to
have been dug by the electric light
company. The hole was near the Chill
ders home. 1t was full of water from
the recent rains. The body was found
with the head resting in the water at
the bottom of the hole. A foot pro-
truded from the opening and this at
tracted the attention of a little girl
who was assisting in the search.
The boy was missed about 2 o'clock
but the parents expected him to re-
turn home at almost any moment
Search was instituted at half past
five O'Clock in the afternoon, and the
body was found half an hour later.
Death was due TO drowning. There
was evidence of the hard struggle
the child had made to extricate him
self before being overcome by the
water.

PEACE TREATY GELS
IN TANGLED STATE
BEST FRIENDS MINIMIZE POSSl-
BILITIES OF AGREEMENT.
might Come Out at the Same Hole
We Went In," Says Sen
ator Hitchcock.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE peace
treaty compromise negotiations got
into such a tangled shape today that,
despite claims in some quarters that
the lines on both sides are weaken
ing, the treaty's best friends in the
Senate minimized the possibilities OF
agreement.
1T looks as though We might come
out at the same hole we went in, y
said Senator Hitchcock, the Demo
cratic leader, after another effort to
obtain Republican aid in modifying
the Article 10 reservation adopted at
the last session of Congress. He
added that the Republicans apparent
! ly had rejected all compromise propos
ais on the subject and that he was
certain the treaty never could be rat
lifted unless they did compromise.
At the same time, Senators in the
mild reservation group OF Republi-
cans indicated their belief that the
Democratic proposal might command
considerable Republican strength,
while some Democrats predicted that
enough Democrats to insure ratifica-
ton would break away and vote for
the Republican reservation as IT
stands.
Situation Muddled.
The result was a muddled situation
| in which the party leaders on both
sides appeared uncertain as TO what
might be the next development. 1t
generally was agreed, however, that
there would be no shown down imme-
diately and that the debate which be-
gan yesterday would be permitted TO
run on for the present, without any
effort to hasten a ratification roll
call.
Forty Democrats had been pledged
tonight for the alternate Article 1O
reservations, presented by Senator
Hitchcock, and he said he hoped ev-
entually to have the support of one or
| two more. 1t would take forty-nine
votes to make up the simple majority
necessary to substitute, one of these
reservations for the Republican draft,
and to the seven or more Republican
votes required for this operation I'LL
teen more would have to be added to
insure final ratification by a two
thirds vote.
1T was pointed out. however, that
the Republican leaders might be
placed in an awkward position should
a majority displace the Republican
reservation with one drawn up by the
Democrats. How many Republicans
then would swing over on the ratifi-
cation vote is problematical.

COUNCIL ADOPTS BLUE LAWS.
Nothing But Drugs, Medicines ana
Actual Necessities sold Last
Sunday.

There was an awful thirst in town
Sunday morning when the regular
patrons of the soft drink and cigar
stands discovered that council had
forbidden the sale of anything on
Sunday except drugs and medicines
and food at the restaurants. The
smoker who failed 10 purchase his
daily supply of cigars and cigarettes
the day before raised a mighty howl
when he discovered that he must ell
dure whole day without the COM
forting and consoling effects of the
weed, while the fellow who was i'll
the habit of taking his morning
glass went about with sad and
bewildered air. The old time blue
Laws" were in effect and the lid was
on good and tight. The drug stores
were closed during the morning hours
but opened later in the day for the
sale of medicines on prescription.
There were many requests for just
one cigar or dope, but the druggists
shook their heads and said there
was nothing doing" The ordinance
prohibiting the sale of luxuries was
passed at the Friday night meeting
of council.
Another ordinance adopted at the
same meeting fixes license of SIS
on automobiles and $40 on trucks
owned and operated within the town
limits. Mayor Hamer says the reve-
nue. from this source will be kept
in a separate fund and used for the
up-keep of the streets.

fatal, but "scarey" to some people
It seems that there is no danger in
catching the disease in stores or on
the streets until after p. m. Then
the public is warned to be very care
full how they mingle together. Anoth-
er peculiar thing about the disease is
the great danger in attending church,
Sunday school and public free school.
The church and school people may
gather together in stores and on the
streets in great crowds without dan
ger before 6 p. m, but the moment
they enter the church and public
! school they are taking great risks. II
is hoped that this disease which is SO
peculiar in its workings will soon bid

LABOR IS NOT THERE"
DR.. Knapp Says South Hasn't Enough
Labor to Increase Cotton
Crop.

Washington, Feb. 16-An increas-
ed acreage in cotton this year is out
of the question according to Dr.
Bradford Knapp, who recently resig-
ned as chief of the office of extension
work in the South with the Depart
ment of Agriculture and became dean
Of the college of agriculture, Univer-
sity Of Arkansas.
1.-THE experiences of 1919 ought to
they cannot handle with their pres
ent supply of labor, an increased ac-
reage in cotton; the labor is not
there. writes DR.. Knapp in one OF
his last works before leaving the De-
partment of Agriculture, entitled
Safe Farming in the Southern
States in 1920"
By safe farming" says DR.. Knapp,
"is meant system which maintains
soil fertility, produces the food and
feed for the people and the live stock
in sufficient quantities to insure a
comfortable surplus, and produces
cotton as a strictly cash CROP
Cotton" Dr.. Knapp says, "is not
actually very high. 1t is high as COM
pared with prices in former years, not
as compared with current prices of
other commodities. Before the farmer
decides that the high price of cotton
will warrant his planting the entire
acreage to that crop to the neglect of
all else. he had better make pretty
thorough examination of the retail
prices of the necessities of life at the
place where he must purchase them
during the year, if he fails to produce
them on his own farm.
There is no thought that cotton
acreage ought to be reduced, but only
that the lure of prices should not
blind our eyes to the necessity of food
and feed"

THE PEACE TREATY
MAY Be WITHDRAWN
NOT 4 THREAT But 4 CONDITION
SAYS PRESIDENT.
II Agreement is Not Reached United
States Will Make Separate
With Germany.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE allied
supreme council has been informed
by President Wilson. 1t was disclos-
ed today, that if the proposed Adria-
tic settlement to which the American
government is not a party IS put into
force the United States might have
to consider Withdrawing the treaty
of Versailles from Senate considera-
ton.
The Presidents communication
not in the nature of a threat in the
common sense of the term, it was
said, but was merely a statement OF
the situation in which the United
States might find itself if asked TO
subscribe to agreements in which 1t
had no part and 10 which it was OPP
posed.
The explanation was made in Off
cial quarters that the league Of ma
tions was to be the instrument for
enforcing various agreements as to
the boundaries and the like and that
iii the United States became party
to the treaty of Versailles IL would
thus be subscribing to the enforce
ment of agreements to which Il had
not given either its approval or COLI
sent.
1t was explained further that the
Anglo -French-Am tfsaty and
the treaty OF Versailles were consid-
ereG inseparable so far as this ques-
ton was concerned and that if sit
uatior arose where the President
would have tt consider withdrawing
the latter he also would have to con-
slider Withdrawing the former.
