preme Court directs A. K. Sanders,
superintendent of the state peniten-
tiary, to bring before that tribunal

er, presiding, should have opened
court at Georgetown. He was sem
fenced to die by electrocution, April

ed his execution. Bigham will ap-
pear in court in person. Bigham is

GERMANY MUST
COME AGAIN
HUGHES ADVISES THAT PROPO.
SAL CANNOT BE ACCEPTED
BY THE ALLIES.

The German reparations counter
proposals are unacceptable as basis
for discussion, Secretary Hughes has
informed DR.. Simons, the Geramn
foreign minister, in a note.
The Secretary at the same time
urged the Geramn government to
make further proposals directly to the
Allied governments. He also express
ed again the earnest desire of the
American government for prompt
settlement of "this vital question"
The text of Secretary Hughes COM
munincation, which was dispatched to
Loring Dresel, the American high
commissioner in Berlin, follows:
"The government of the United
States has received the memorandum
left by DR.. Simons with the commits
sioner of the United States under
date of April "a, relating to repara-
tions. In reply this government states
that + it finds itself unable to reach
the conclusion that the proposals af-
ford basis for discussion acceptable
to the allied governments and that
these proposals cannot be entertained.
This government therefore again ex-
pressing its earnest desire for a
prompt settlement of this vital ques-
ton strongly urges the German gov
eminent at once to make directly to
the Allied governments clear, definite
and adequate proposals which would
in all respects meet its just obliga-
tions."
No Comment at Washington.
The communication was made pub
lie by the Secretary without comment
and officials generally refused to dis
cuss the situation.
Unofficially the opinion was ex-
pressed that developments at London
where the allied Supreme Council
is in session discussing reparations
would soon give the explanation Of the
American governments action. Wheth-
er these would demonstrate that the
stand of the United States for pay
ment by Germany to her full ability
but not to a degree to retard unduly
her economic recuperation, had been
met was a subject upon which no
light was shed.
The American position is under
stood to have been since Germany for
warded her counter proposals that q
settlement should be achieved if pos
sible by discussion and that even in
the face of an allied advance into
German territory that the United
States would not cease to work Tor
in the face of the allied advancetaaa
such a settlement. At the same time
it was emphasized that the American
government would stand with the Al
lies in demanding proper reparatlons.

SAYS CHECKS WORTHLESS.
Man Giving Name of Wicks Placed
Under Arrest.

Georgetown, April 28.-A man CIV
ing his name as w. E. Wicks is in Jail
here on a charge O. drawing worth
less checks. No word has been heard
from anyone to whom the man has
referred for identification. Most of
the checks reported worthless were
drawn by Wicks on the Little Falls
National Bank, of New York. Some
had been secured from certain parties
by Wicks on pretenss, it is alleged,
of having a truck load of liquor en-
route here, which was as near as Lane,
but waiting for disposal before enter
ing the city. Wicks stated, il is al
legged, that this truck load Of liquor
was in charge of federal agents under
a permit to sell to druggists, but that
they would allow certain individuals
to purchase a limited quantity who
could be depended upon to keep the
matter quiet.
Not long ago Wicks met a George
town girl, Miss Nita Grier, at Hope
well, Va, and married her, coming
with his wife soon afterward to
Georgetown, living with her relatives
in this county and in Columbia. He
claimed to have a brother, a physician
and owner of ranch in Montana. The
issuing of checks began soon after his
arrival here. It was on the promise
of delivery of liquor from the truck
load declared to be located near Lane
that Wicks secured a check for $500,
it is alleged, which he cashed in one
of the banks here, being arrested on
a warrant charging him with obtain
ing money under false pretense. Wicks
is a large man, weight about 200
pounds, grey hair, blue eyes, short
neck, round shoulders, bad teeth, is 5
feet 8 inches tall and looks to be
about fifty years of age.

unusual incident in this section
a day or two ago as to the bring
ing of the body of a supposed young
negro man of this section for burial
at one of the colored churches near
town. Before the body was inferred,
however; the coffin was examined and
when opened it was discovered not to
be the supposed body of the man sent
from the Columbia Asylum here for
burial, and indignation ran high for .
while, the body being that of an old
man not recognized by any one and it
was promptly returned to the asylum
authorities at Columbia. Much excite
ment followed the incident when the
mistake was discovered.

PLANS OF HARDING
OUTLINED BY HAYS
WOULD MAKE OURS "THE BEST
GOVERNMENT IN ALL
THE WORLD.

postmaster Generai VIII n. hays
Saturday brought to the publishers OF
America a plea for teamwork to make
the governmental services what the!
should be and "what they can be-"
Speaking at the luncheon of the
American newspaper publishers as.
sociation in New York city Mr.. Hay;
bore heavily on the defects in the
functioning of governmental depart +
ments and outlined plans under way
and contemplated to make this "the
best government in all the world"
He pointed out that it would be
safe to assume, without violating
the proprietiies by attempting to indi.
cate the purposes of the administra'
ton, that administration is moving
out Immediately to make certain:
1. An honest, efficient and econo'
mical business administration of tho
country's AFFAIR.".
2. Immediate development ard ex'
ecutionof a plan for reduction and
equalization Of taxes.
8. Development. of better relatiol.-
ship between labor an6 capital with
justice to the public.
4. Steps 10 bring the government
back to the limitations of the con-
stitution in times of peace, with no
undue liberalization of industries and
activities, with federal regulation
ut not federal ownership.
Mr.. Hays pointed out three pripe''
pal defects in the present plan of Or
ganization of ouc government.
l. Placing o. bureaus IN certain
of our executive departments with no
return of theic proper functions.
2. Location in different departments
of agencies which ought to be closely
associated.
8. Absence of proper machinery
for control ami management Of the
executive branch as. a whole.
It will seem natural to expect, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hays:
1. Concentration in the depart
ment of interior of all civil public
works and changing the name of the
department to public works.
2. Establishment of the department
of public welfare.
8. Stripping of the treasury depart
ment of all except its necessary and
proper fiscal functions.
d. Transfer of all non-military work
from war and navy departments to the
regular civilian departments OF the
government.
5. Enlargement of the department o.
commerce.
6. Establishment of a centralized
purchasing agency.
7. Establishment of a budget bu-
reau.
Mr.. Hays pledged his cooperation
in moving second class mail, includ-
ing newspapers, promptly. He out
lined the plans Of his department in
connection with welfare work among
the postal employees and ended with
plea for teamwork, which he de-
clared is the magic wand tha: alone
can make our goJe nmental serv-
ices what they should be.

instruction in agricultural work in the
schools of that section. Mr.. Patrick
has been at work along this line for
some years and will doubtless make

Pacifers and thumbsucking, the
great friends of enlarged adenoids,
were strongly censured. Coffee and
tea,- any form, were pronounced
bad for children, being stimulants and
not food: Babies and growing chill
dren do not need stimulants.
Miss Rhines further stated that
100000 American people die annually
from tuberculosis. There were 15O
deaths last year in Charleston alone
from this great white plauge. More
often than not, the disease is contract
ed during infancy and childhood. The
germs lie dormant until later years
and then begin their deadly work, un-
less there is strong enough vitality to
throw them off.
Immediately after the, program a
bountiful lunch was served by the re-
freshment committee, with Mrs. w.
E. Brockington as chairman. The
menu consisted of various kinds OF
salads, sandwiches, pickles, cakes,
coffee and milk.
After lunch the weighing aliuu exam
ing of the babies was begun by DR..
B. M. Montgomery, he being the first
doctor to arrive. Soon Drs. Harper
and Hemingway came to his assis-
tance, and DR.. Gamble later joined the
corp. Drs. Kelley and Jacobs were
unable to be present. The babies were
undressed, weighed, measured and ex-
amined by the doctors and Miss
Rhines, and the report for each baby
entered on a separate blank form,
which had been prepared by Miss
! Rhines and DR.. Montgomery. All the
charts were gone over later by Miss
Rhines, who summed up the points
favorable to each baby.
Reckoning which was the best
score card submitted at the Child We'll
fare Conference held under the Aus
pices of the Mothers Club at the
Presbyterian church on Saturday was
matter which required careful
thought as so many babies seemed TO
come so near being almost perfect
specimens.
Miss Rhines, supervisor Of nurses
in the eastern part of the state, who
was the chief speaker at the confer
ence, acted as chairman of the scor-
ing committee.
It was deemed best to divide the
boys and girls into seperate classes,
with the following results:
Girls: Mildred Stoll, Kingstree;
Alice Marie Clark, Kingstree; and
Joyce Perry, Greelyville; tied for first
place.
Katherine Guerry, Cedar Swamp;
Elizabeth Bacon Van Keuren, Kings
tree; and Eleanor Foxworth, Cades;
tied for second place.
Boys: D. C. Bryan, Jr. first place.
Theodore Stark Hemingway, Jr., and
Constant Miller, Jr., tied for second
place. All these Of Kingstree.
The score cards are being mailed
back to the mothers, so that each may
see wherein the baby did not come up
to the required standard.
Many scores were lowered on ac-
count of babies being overweight.
This is not necessarily serious condi-
ton, but prevents the baby from max
ing 1000 score.
All cards where measurements are
marked "too large" the point is to
show not physical defect, but that
proportions are not perfect.
The measurements were judged in
proportion to the height rather than
the age.
Leaflets on the following subjects
were distributed to the mothers:
Milk, Breast Feeding, Summer Diah-
rhoea of Infants, What Groging chill
dren Need, Public Health fs Woman's
