China OFFERS FAR
EASTERN PLAN
Open Sympathy OF u. S. With P0-
sitiOn of. Oriental Nation is Mani
tested, with British Support /.
ing 1t.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The Wash
! ington conference today turned to
consideration of far eastern ques-
tions with almost the same moment
um with which it tackled the ques-
tion of naval armaments.
1t was the Chinese delegates who
led the way this time. In the COM
mittee of nine, at which all nations
participated were represented, they
produced a basis for discussion which
represents their views.
The open sympathy of the United
States with their position was at
once manifest. The British support
ed it in many respects. The positions
of the others were not so clearly de-
fined, although members of the
japanese delegation have given ex-
preston of approval, in part at least
of China's "bill of rights"
In brief China wants guarantees
for, territorial integrity and political
and administrative independence; she
proposes the open door for all in all
parts of the country; she wants all
spheres Of influence relinquished
she wants no treaties made affecting
her without being consulted about
them. .
The full extent of China's propo-
sition is much broader than this, but
these are the essentials. The last
feature may be construed as affect
ing the Anglo Japanese alliance, al
though the British take no opposite
view.

UNITED STATES MAY
 BECOME INVOLVED
Action of Costa Ricans May Bring This Country in Their Little
 Trick War.

Panama. March 3.--Costa Rican forces are being rushed to the Coto district between this country and Costa Rica, it is said in dispatches to the government here. It is believed the Costa Ricans plan to land these forces on the eastern shore of Burica Point.
 Chief significance of such a move would appear to center around the fact that it would involve the United States. since the shore east of Burica Point was given to Panama under the arbitration ruling of Chief Justice White which was handed down in 1914.
 Another possibility that the United States may become involved is found in reports that Costa Rica is reinforc- ing her earrisons at tho Atlantic end of the frontjcr. The United Fruit Co. owns extensive banana plantations and has railroads extending south from Puerto Limon into Panama. Ii has been learned this corporation will be almost certain 10 request the pro- lection of the United States troops if Costa Rica should decide to take over these lines for military purposes

the modern method of bedding sweet
potatoes. The demonstration will be
given at, 3 o'clock that afternoon on
the farm of j. P. McLaurin at the

acreage movement is inducing many
farmers to turn their attention to the
cultivation of sweet potatoes and 9TH

is for the purpose of showing the
farmers how to get the best results
from their sweet potato crops. The

IMPORTANT QUARTET
MUST BE PERSUADED
lsanker, Merchant. Fertilizer Com
pany and Land Owner Can Re.
duce Cotton Acreage.

T1mmonsville, Feb. 21--The bank
er, the merchant, the fertilizer com
panies and the landowner are the
ones who will be responsible for any
over-acreage of cotton planted in
South Carolina this year, according to
letter sent out by Timmonsville
chamber of commerce to every like or
ganization in the state says the States
correspondent. After going into the
situation from every angle Roy Swim
dele, secretary of the Timmonsville
chamber Of commerce, has discovered
that the tenant farmer starting out
the first OF the year with nothing but
MS mule will, under the present ex-
lsting conditions, be forced to plant
from Is to 20 acres of cotton to pro-
tect his rent, his fertilizer account,
MS merchant and his banker. The
following is found to be what the
FARMER Will absolutely have to nave
10 carry him during the year:
Kent on 25 acres of land at $40
per acre, $3.50; line of credit with
merchant, $3.50; money borI owed
from bank, 500; fertilizer $3.50;
other expenses, $50. Total expense
for year, 5000.
AL VI lHeSe accounts the farmer
mnst secure with cotton TO be plant
ed. This is demanded of him by
those advancing him. At Is cents PEI
pound, one bale to the acre, 500 lbs
TO the bale, it will take Is IL acres
TO protect this amount.
According to the conclusion arriv.
ed at by the secretary of the Tim.
monsville chamber OF commerce, the
banker, merchant, landlord and the
FERTILIZER people are the ones to work
on and not the farmer, who does
not want to plant much cotton, but
VIII be forced to unless those from
whom he received credit will accept
some other security. 1t is his belief
that this is the only way w which the
acreage question can be solved, and
he calls upon the other chambers oi
commerce in the state to investigate
the question from this angle anC
write him their conclusions.
With conditions as they are un.
less cotton acreage reduction is as
sured, Mr.. Swindelle's deductions are
seemingly pertinent and are at leas,
original in placing the responsibility
upon the banker, merchant and land
lord rather than the much censured
farmer. Perhaps the united thought
action and cooperation of the banker
would result in solution that would
prevent another bumper cotton crop
with Sts below production prices. II
seems at least worth trial.
