TO
TAKE IN LESLIE
Itinerary of Trip Next
Monday Revised After
Tour

A revised itinerary for the train
load of Arkansas farmers and bust
ness men for their trip through Sum-
ter county next Monday to inspect
crops and farming methods, which
will take them to the town of Leslie,
was announced today by Secretary
Perkins, of the Chamber of Com
merce, and George o. Marshall,
county agent after they had made a
tour of the tentative route. 1t was
explained that certain sections that
had been on the preliminary timer
airy had been left off the revised sche-
dule for the reason that it had been
found they did not offer the best
examples in the county of what the
visitors desired to see.
According to the revised plan, the
party in automobiles will leave the
Chamber of Commerce Monday
morning, going eastward to the farm
of Charles Hogg, with stops to be
made en- route; thence via the john
son school to the river road; out the
river road to the Morgan Brothers
farm, back to the Rylander farm,
thence south to the Leslie road and
on to Leslie. The return will be
made via the ]. J. Wilson farm to the
Lee street road, by which the party
will return to Americas for dinner.
In the afternoon the party will
traverse the Dixie Highway south of
Americas to the Bond Trail road be-
yond Sumter City, thence to Plains,
via Croxton's Crossing, thence back
to Americas for supper.
These two trips will carry the Wis
itors through some of the very best
farming sections of Sumter county,
although it is manifestly impossible
to include anything like all of the
fine farms in trip of one day. But
the crops to be seen will be repre-
sentative of the county and show the
visitors what really is being done
here in an agricultural way. The
sections traversed, too, offer good
demonstrations of what is being done
with corn, peanuts and velvet beans,
trip is expected to be devoted, at
least in part, to a demonstration of
the peach and pecan industry, which
has become important here.
The Times-Recorder was asked to-
day to suggest to all farmers on the
route to be taken by the visitors
that they cut the weeds and grass
and trim hedge rows along the roads
and about their homes so that the
view of the growing crops may not
be DISTRACTED and also that the rural
homes may make the best possible
In the party will be
Governor Brough, of Arkansas, many
bankers and fnanciers, as well as far
mers, and it is planned by co-opera-

WILSON TOUCHY
ABOUT ILLNESS
That's Explanation of
Mystery About White
House
BY JAMES HENLE.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Never
were the plans and movements of an
Oriental despot shrouded in greater
mystery than those of President Will
son at this time.
Which is just another way of say
ing that Woodrow Wilson, American
citizen, is extremely touchy about his
illness. And, unlike other American
citizens. Woodrow Wilson is president
and has the authority to make his
movements and his plans just as Sc
cret. as he wishes.
Do you remember when your dad
was sick? Didn't the inquisitive old
lady next door finally get on your
nerves" with her persistent queries
about his health? You felt it wasn't
that she cared so much about your
dad, but that she was just naturally
anxious to have some gossip to spread
about the town.
You remember she was all keyed
up the day the second doctor arrived
for consultation She could hardly
wait to ask you what he said.
Well, that is about the way the
White House regards questions about
the presidents health. 1t suspects
the motive. Perhaps it has reason to
do so, particularly since the publica
ton of Senator Moses letter with its
repetition of backstairs gossip. On
the other hand, it is only fair to say
that persons close to the president
have failed to appreciate the sincere
and sympathetic interest that the peo-
pie of this country, regardless of par
ty, feel in the health of the president.
Take, for instance, the matter of
the presidents vacation. 1t has been
said, and apparently truthfully, that
the Mayfower, the presidents yacht,
has been renovated for his use, and
an elevator installed in it, and that
any time he spends away from Wash
ington this summer will be aboard
her
If the president were not so eX-
tremely sensitive there would be no
reason to make any secret of this. If
man cannot mount stairs without
an effort, it is no disgrace for him to
use an elevator
But officials both of the White
House and the Navy Department,
which has jurisdiction over the yacht,

eryone knows that the longer the SER
vice in the United States Senate. the
more influential the Senator. Those
states have had the most influence
who have kept their Senators longest
in service.
Senator Smith is just in his intel
lectual prime. Gladstone did his
best work for England after he was
sixty-fve.
CAT this time Georgia needs to pull
together 1t should avoid every I'M
necessary conflict and conserve all
its energies to keep in the forefront
as the Empire State of the South"
Watson To Tell Why.
Authoritative announcement was
made in Atlanta Saturday night by a
group of friends close to Watson that
the sage of McDuffie" will be a can
didate for the United States Senate
in the September primary.
Formal announcement of his candi-
dacy will be reserved for the next is
sue of Mr.. Watson's weekly paper,
the. Columbia Sentinel, which will be
placed in the mails tomorrow.
In that statement Mr.. Watson will
set forth fully his reasons for becom-
ing a candidate and his platform of
principles. Mr. Watson's fee has been
paid to the State Democratic COM
mittee, and is now in the hands of the
secretary.
In recent years the names of Wat
son, Smith and Dorsey have been pc
culiarly interviewer in Georgia's po-
litical history. In his first campaign
for governor Hoke Smith had Wat
sons support. Shortly after his cleo
ton there was a break and not until
recent weeks has there been any
thing like an entente cordiale be-
tween the Watson and Smith camps.
In Governor Dorsey's campaign for
the nomination against Governor Nat
E. Harris, he was supported vigorous
ly by Watson. Even before Cover
noy Dorsey's election there were signs
of break at the state convention, at
Macon, when the nominee failed to
support several Watsonian policies.
The rift widened until in recent
months there has been open warfare
between Georgia'sl executive and "the
sage of McDuffie."
Again Oppose Each Others.
In the recent presidential prefer
entail primaries Senator Smith and
Mr. Watson were arrayed again
against each other and against A.
Mitchell Palmer, representing that
wing of the party that stood for
President Wilson's policies, particu-
larry the League of Nations.
There was no majority in the pri-
mary and the Smith and Watson
forces were united to prevent Will
sonian delegation being sent to San
Francisco. The combination was sue
cessful in the State convention, but
the delegation was denied its seat by
the national committee and the Pal
mer-Wilson delegates recognized.
And now again Hoke Smith and
Tom Watson are arrayed against each
other, with the strong probability that
Hugh Dorsey, once the close ally of
Watson, will get in the race.

Fine Melons Grown
By Horton Near Here

d. H. Horton, a prosperous farmer,
living on the former DR.. Evan T.
Mathis farm, on Hooks Mill road near
Americas, brought in load of fine
watermelons to the city today, and
remembered the Times-RecOrder with
one of the largest in the lot. He
states that he planted only few rows
of Zones" melons, which he is now
marketing, but all of them are of
uniform size and weigh about 40
pounds each, being of excellent fla
vor and the meat a deep red color.
Mr.. Horton came to Sumter county
a year ago from Carroll county, and
has already established himself as
one of the substantial citizens of the
community where his fine farm is
located.

assure you that they know nothing at
all about the matter.
A number of reasons were advanc-
ed for Wilson's decision not to go to
Woods Hole, Mass. But that does
not explain why he has not gone to
the dozen or more available resorts.
The only explanation is that the
president is not yet a well man, and
that in the present state of his health
it is better for him to stay in his own
home, the White House.
If extremely torrid days come, the
president will probably escape them
aboard the Mayfiower, remaining
away perhaps for two or three days
at a time.

Guiding Hand Of Organized Labor
 In Germany Dies
fRepubIican A. ?. Leased wirel

BERLIN, Dec 26.-Carl Rudolph sLegien, president of the German Fed eration of Trades Unions and Social ist member of the Reichstag, died today.
 Herr Legien returned from the inter- national trades union congress at London threef weeks ago and attended the Reichstag sessions up to a few days before it's adjournment fer the holidays. He was 60 years old. He was a member of the German parlia- ment since 1S93 He was convinced that much of the labor radicalism in Germany since the revolution can be accounted for in the food situation. He believed that once the German workingman recovered from the fat less" years, he would recover his old time love for work law and order. He once said if Munich beer contained real hops and malt there would have been no Bavarian soviet republic.
 Tn his opinion the pre-war standard of cheap living in Germany will never return.
 Legien started in life as q journey man wood and metal turner and he kept up the interest in his trade to the extent of maintaining a completely fitted out workshop in his house. Herr Legien's first attempt to use the German Federation of Trade Unions for political purposes occurred | last March when German organized labor was mobilized in a. weaponless war on the Kapp revolutionists. The | general strike proclaimed under Le- gien's direction gave~the Kapp regime it's death blow in the opinion of many officials. Legien was encouraged tC use the federation's influence on tho | government in connection with legis.

 Under his direction the labor feder- ation maintained a close working
