COTTON GRADER

We have learned that gerat many
counties are arranging for Cotton
Grader for next season and the De-
partment says they will not be able to
supply the demand. For the season of
l919-1920 the Home Bank q Trust
Company assumed the entire burden
for this County. There can be no
question about the benefit to the mar
ket, as the cotton market at Manning
TOR this season was as good as any
in the State, and good middling cotton
was not unusual, while heretofore none
was ever seen here In addition to
this the records show a number of
eases in which cotton brought a great
~ increased price after grading. On
one occasion $3.50; on another S27. so
per bale; on another $3.50 per bale,
and on another $35 100 per bale.
We suppose the amount to be raised
will be about the same DIS last YEAR
Sl7O0.OO. But the Bank feels that it
has done its part in the matter, es
pccially as they have for this season
employed Mr.. C. A. McFaidin as Agri-
cultural Agent and are paying for his
services and expenses.
This matter is submitted to those
interested in the cotton market, in the
hope that it will not be allowed to fall
back from the position it now holds.

our church and the organizations con-
nected with it have very considerably
increased in membership and develop
ed in effectiveness and usefulness;
that in the seventy-five million cam
paign our church made most graft
Tying contribution, more than meeting
the quota assigned us; that our pastor
has taken an active, prominent and eff

NEGRO LYNCHED;
NO REPORT MADE

Hampton, May 25-Oficers have
just discovered that negro man,
said to have been named Julius
Woods, was lynched, it is alleged, on
the public road near Gillisonville on
May 8. 1t appears that the matter
has been kept unusually quiet by the
officers in Jasper County in an effort
to apprehend the guilty parties. The
matter was recently reported to the
Governor, who in turn directed Solici-
tor George Warren Of Hampton to con
duct an investigation into the alleged
lynching.
Solicitor Warren stated that the
first information he had of any al
legged lynching was the report made
to the Governor by substantial white
citizens living in Jasper County. So
licitor Warren has reported to the
Governor that Immediately upon COM
mission of the crime the sheriff of
Jasper county began an investigation.
The latest report from the sheriff to
the solicitor is that he has been I'M
able to get any data whatsoever. The
| sheriff further states that the body
of the negro who had some alterca-
tion with white boy as was report
ed, was found with many gunshot
wounds in it on the public road near
Gillisonville on May s. The report
o fthe sheriff further reads: "In fact
his own people (negroes) seem to take
no interest in this killing, and so far
can get no starting point, Am
though, still working on this matter
and if anything of interest should be
discovered will at once notify you
You may be assured that am doinc
all 1 can to run this killing down and
| get the guilty parties"

The President said that he could
not "but regard it as providential, and
that as mere casual coincidence" ;"
that almost at the same time that he
received the Senate resolution the
conference of statesmen at San Reno
had "resolved to address definite
appeal to this government to accept
a mandate for Armenia"
Wish of the People.
81 response to the invitation of the
council at San Reno, urgently ad-
wise and request that the Congress
grant the executive power to accept
for the United States mandate over
Armenia. make this suggestion in
the earnest belief that it will be the
wish of the people Of this country that
this should be done.
"I know from unmistakablc evil
dcnccs given by responsible represen-
tativcs of many peoples str lggling
towards independence and peaceful life
again that the government of the
United States IS locke, to with extra
ordinary trust and confidence, and I
believe that it would do nothing less
than arrest the hopeful processes Of
civilization if we were to refuse the
request to become the helpful friends
and advisers of such of these people
as we may be authoritatively and
formally requested to guide and assist.
Wishes of Christians.
81 am conscious that am urging
upon the Congress very critical
choice, but | make the suggestion in
the confidence that ! am speaking in
the spirit and in accordance with the
wishes Of the greatest Of the Chris

at is therefore with The most ear
nest hopefulness and with the feeling
that l am giving advice from which
the Congress will not willingly turn
away that | urge the acceptance Of
the invita- ion now formally and SOL
emily extended to us by the council
at San Reno, into whose hands has
passed the difficult task of composing
the many complexities and difficulties
Of government Vim the time Otto

Reversing a decision of the United

the National Steam Navigation Com
pany, Ltd, Of Greece, was liable in
damages aggregating $976,o75.ss as the
result of the sinking of the liner

On December "a she wirelessed that
she was 800 miles east OF the Ambrose
Channel lightship and had been wealth
ering a hurricane for 400 miles. Send
ing out calls for help, which were re-
Mongolia, the Thessaloniki sank jan

The Italian steamship Stampalia an

Many survivors, however. were picked
up by various vessels. The survivors
reported that the Thessaloniki had
been abandoned owing to engine and
boiler troubles. Damage claims were
presented to the Admiralty commits
