CIVIC LEAGUE HOLDS
GOOD MEETING

The Civil" League met Monday aft.
clnoon, January 17th, 1921, with a
splendid attendance. The minutes of
the last meeting were read and aD-
proved and the reports of the com
mlttces given. The charity commit
tee is still pursuing its work and is
reporting great results.
The Lcagu" authorized the Prrsi-
dent to spend goodly sum of money
TO purchase cvcrgrccnS for the depot
court house square, and school
grounds.
The question of the County Fedora
ton OF W0man's Clubs was thorough
~ discussed and the League decided
TO have meeting with the county
clubs in February (thc date Of which
will be announced in this papcrj to.
establish this organization. OF course
this consolidation means an aniliation
with the State Federation of Wo-
mans Clubs and the benefits to be
derived thcrefrom will be invaluable.
The greatly agitatcd question Of
garbage came before the League. Il.
is encouraging indeed to know that
the officers Of the town are coopcrat-
ing with the ladies to eliminate this
menace. The town has secured pub
lice dumping ground at the far end
OF South Church Street and it is cs-
scntial that the public use it. A rcso
luton was passed that the League
present mule to the town if the au-
thortcs would care for the mule. and
use it exclusively for the removing of
garbage.
At the request Of the League, a mo-
ton was passed that the President ap-
proach the town officials to ascertain
if the children would be allowei to
skate on the school grounds at least
one afternoon out Of the week.
The League decided to start the
chain of tcaa Immediately, and end
them by the first OF March. Each
member of the League will be asked
TO entertain, and the minimum fec
per person will be fifteen cents.
The following members were I'M
anim0usly elected members Of the
League: Isabelle Thomas, Mrs. Sam
Sprott, Mrs. c. r. Sprott, Jr., Mrs.
Luce.
AS a memorial to our boys lost in
France the League passed rcsoln-
tion to plant two trees on one of the
public squares. AS there was no fur
ther business, the meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Irma Weinberg,
Secretary and Treasurer.

JAP SAYS AMERICAN
PROPOSAL Selfish
On Naval Holiday Plan-Declares u.
5. and Great Britain Must Agree
Before Japan Can Take Part.

Toxic, Jan. 18.-(By the Associated
Fress:)-American proposals that Jap
an, Great Britain and the United
States "take a naval halliday" is elo-
quent proof that despite the fabulous
rlches OF America she wishes to cur
tan national expenditures, and there
1orc the proposals are intended more
70 help America than to contribute to
The peace of the world, said Merquis
ohlgcnoby Okuma, former japanese
premier, in an interview here TODAY.
He asserted America should first con
suit Great Britain relative to the sug
gested gest,, suspension of the naval pro
"Only when an American British
agreement has been reached" he
added, "can Japan be in position
to consider this proposition. Japan's
naval program is fixed at the mini
mum necessary for naeIonal defense.
Undue Importance, is Charged
Charges that it appears the Amcri.
can government is giving the incident
arising out Of the death of Naval
Lieut.. Langdon at Vladivostok undue
Importance are made by the Kokumin,
Shimbun.
Ii, as believed, the newspaper con-
tlnucs, "America goes as far as to
bring up Japan's basic policy in ST.
berla, including the question of the
evacuation of that country by jap
anese troops, it is likely fresh cause
for discussion has arisen between the
two governments. Moreover, such a
question would cause a dispute be-
tween the Japanese foreign office and
military authorities here.
Surprise at what it terms the "tim-
ldlty CT the government" is expressed
by the Hochi Shimum, which adds:
Says Sentry not to Blame
"The government is going every
thing to apologize to America, when,
according to informationr reaching
Japan, no fault was found in the ac-
tlons of the sentry who shot Lieut.
Langdon. Apparently the government
has two stories-one for American
consumption, and the other for the
japanese"
The Yamato Shimbun argues the
sentry was merely performing his
duty, and asserts there is no reason
for the death Of an officer in for
eign country being regarded as a Sc
rlous international incident.
Press adviccs from Vladivostok de-
clare Lieut.. Langdon walked to the
cruiser Albany, saluted the gangway
guard and collapsed before making
any statement. Confirmation that the
ieutenant's Russian wife shot and
killed herself the day following the
death of her husband has been re-
ceived in dispatches to newspapers

CASE OF CARLOS CORBETT

Orangeburg, Jan, 18.-The case of
tie State against Carlos Corbett was
again called this morning by Solicitor
Hydrick. 1t is sought now to place
Corbett on trial for the killing of
Julian Cooper. At the conclusion Of
the arguments Judge Shipp announc-
ed that he would think over the case
and Announce his decision on tomor-
row.
1t will be remembered that Carlos
Corhett was arqdittcd of killing Bry-
an Salley at the last September term
of rosrt. The case srl lattracts Il
great deal of attention and large
crowds were present in the courtroom
when the case was called.
When the solicitor called the defend
ant to the dock he, through his coun-
sci, interposed a carefully prepared
plea of former adjudication or acqut-
tai and declared that he had already
been ecquittcd of the ofensc charge,
and as there was but one offense in
all committed and that he could not
be tried the second time. The State
interposed demurrer in writing to
this plea to the effect that the plea
did not state racts sufficient to sus-
tain the plea.
lnefeupOn argument was commenced
by counsel. Ex-Governor Blease, Will
liam G.. Wolfe and Mendcl l.. Smith
submitted the opening argument for
the defense, taking the position that
there was but one offense, as the
transaction involved one purpose and
that this had been passed upon by the
former jury.
He was followed by r.. Nj. Raysor,
Col. Adam II. Moss and Solicitor Hyd-
rick, who contendcd that the plea
could not be sustained because there
was more than one of'ense and that
the killing of each man constituted
n separate offcnse.
Col Adam II. Moss then submitted a
further argument for the State, con-
tending that the plea could not be
sustained because different shots
killed the men and that there could
have been different intent.

'NUB" SENDS IN NEWSY
SUMMERTON LETTER

For the third and last time we ex-
pect to touch briefly on law-enforce-
ment what we have already said and
what we expect to say at this writ .ng
IN reference to our subject is about
little things. Realizing as we do that
1T would take an able lawyer to go
INTO big things in the way of violat-
ing many laws now on our statue
books as well as taking an able officer
OF the law and the best Of our citizens
TO prosecute some of our folks who no
doubt sometimes trample our laws un-
der their feet. Take for instance carry
ing pocket guns which evidently is
done by many who are regarded as
good citizens and which no doubt is the
means of a many good mans life
being "put out" We are very much
of the opinion that if this violation of
our laws could be eliminated some pco-
pie would not be so "hot headed" and
when there came about misunder-
standing between friends and neigh
bors with guns at home these Difficult
ties we believe would be thrashcd out
lots OF times IN more reasonable and
satisfactory manenr and without
bloodshcd.
Sometimes we are almost persuad-
ed that we have too MANY laws on our
statute books at present and still at
each session of our Legislature it is
new bills on top of new bills which
almost confuses some people as to
What certain laws really are intended
10 take; Tor instance section 141 of the
Criminal Code of South Carolina which
permits man to post his land agai st
hunting and fishing and yet section
10 Of the Criminal Code declares that
the birds belong to the people Of the
State. With such laws as the above
VINO knows just when they arc within
the law and when they are violating
the law. We understand that Mr.. J. J.
Cantey has written Governor Coopcr
and several members of the Senate
and house to HAY J Section 24l amend
cd and let Section 715 be the law in
reference to hunting and fishing.
Now in our last weeks communica-
tlon we did not advocate reduction
IN salaries of our preachers and school
teachers and unless our mind changes
1t will be right long time before we
would agltate such a movement
against people who are doing a great
work Tor a reasonable small compcn-
satlon, we are of the opinion that it
Is very nice thing to hold public Of
nee at right high salary have lots Of
tlllngs given to you and live at home.
But 1t is quite another thing to bundle
up your rags" hit the train and 90
many, many miles among strangers
leaving loved ones and friends at
home and labor six, nine and twelve
months and in lots of cases maybe not
nave an opportunity to visit home dur
ing the entire year or at least school
year. Yes if we were "boss" we wo,ld
say, If ony thing, give such people a
little more and nine times out of ten
you will get a little more.

SUGAR GROWERS ASK
FOR HIGHER TARIFF
claim Crop is il Danger-Eroducers
and Keiiners Stir Up Old Time
Strife Before House Committee

washington, Jan. 18.-Criticism Of
the governments methods of sugar
distribution during the war, together
lwth 4 practically unanimous appeal
OF cane sugar growers for a protective
duty, marked consideration by the
iiouSe ways and means committee to-
day of revision of the Underwood
,arllf act as it applies to sugars, mo-
lasses and syrup.
Practically the entire day was given
over to testimony of conditions in the
cane belts of the South but represeu-
tatiVeS OF several rcfincrs among them
lofmcr Representative John J. Fitz-
gerald, of New York, were included in
the witnesses and they stirred up the
old-tlmc strife between producers and
rciincrs.
Government Criticized
Mr. Fitzgerald declared that the gov
crnmcnt's policy during the sugar
shortage last year had been such as
to pcnalze the whole nation in order
to favor Louisiana producers.
IF the government had bought the
Louisiana CROP" he said, at could
have given it away, saved those peo-
pie whom it used as an excuse for
the price fixed and saved the rest of
VIZ No''iii lllllllC1lS Ol UOll0fS.
X. f.. Milling, Of New Orleans, rep
rcscntmg the growers, reported that
the rcfincrs had sought to get grin
ON the sugar industry "and make the
people pay for it,"
Earlier in the day the committee
had heard the request of delegation
from Porto Rico for tariff on sugar
that would enable them to continue
an industry which they described as
basic in the life Of the island.
Rate Left to Committee
Few Of the witnesses representing
either the producers or the manufac
tufers OF raw cane sugar attempted
to suggest a specific rate Of duty. All
were content with asking the commit
tee merely to give them "amplc pro-
tcctlon.' The argument advanced was
that cane sugar was an important ad-
dltlon to the national sugar supply
and therefore its production should be
encouraged. Statements were made to
the effect that the industry would die
unless ONE protection were granted.
The committee also heard Frederick
j.. Bates: chief Of the sugar division
of the Federal Bureau of Standards.
who urged a rcdraftin" of the sugar
schedule SO that "archaic and old
Fashioned methods" of assessing the
duty would be eliminated. Mr. Bates.
who was called by the committee, de-
clarcd that the method now used was
adopted among the earlier tariff schcd
ulcs of the nations history, and never
had been changed.
The witness also suggested a pro-
hibitory tariff on rare sugars which
are used almost entirely i'm medicinal
work. He termed as "infants" the in
duStrlcS manufacturn" thcs" n,,od,m =
and warned the committee that unless
they were protected revival Of the
German product.oN would stinc these
