COOPER FAVORS
CANCELLlNC DEBT
ALLIES NOT ABLE EVEN TO P3t
INTEREST.
Speaks to Farmers.
Sacrificing a Dollar Not AS Great rs
Already Made by Sacrific-
ing of Lives.

Spartanburg, April 7.-Gov. ROD
ert A. Cooper advocated America 8
cancelling every cent of Europe's war
debt in his address to the farmers
here today. He said that at first ne
thought the countries should re
made to pay every cent, but now ne
realizes that they can not even pay
the interest, let alone the principal.
So the best thing to do is to cancer
it and begin over. Then Europe Will
begin to buy American cotton, and
prosperity will return in earnest.
This would be nothing more than
Americas contribution to the cause
In speaking to the farmers, ne
urged a marked reduction in acreage
saying that if the farmers made the
mistake he made last year that ne
will but reward the approach to nor
maly." Whether the farmers make
big crop or a small crop norma
conditions will return, but a big CROP
will delay that return.
Confidence in ones self and will
ingness to sacrifice another dollar
for the good of the masses is what
is needed Every one should be as
willing to sacrifice a dollar to hasten
normal conditions as he was to give
his son for the peace of the world
He said that he could not understand
why the former soldiers, those who
made such a sacrifice in the world
war, did not rise up in their might
and demand that this country slgI
the peace treaty and take her posi-
ton beside the other nations Of the
world. Instead the country has
drifted until now it will be sew
eral years before this country car
take her stand where she belongs
Europe has lost confidence in Ameri
ca and it will take time to reestablist
that confidence.

Widow Explains Escape.

Tampa, April 10.-Before leaving
today with the body of Thurston U.
Vaughn, who committed suicide in
jail here to avoid the electric chair in
South Carolina, Sheriff Alex Heise OBJ
tanned from the dead mans widow a
full story of Vaugh's escape from the
insane asylum, which differs in many
details from the version told Tampa
officials.
She said, among other things, that
Vaughn secured the key to his ward,
but stated. she did no: remember
whether he had said it had been en-
trusted to him or whether he had Sc
cured it by chicancery. She also stated
that Vaughn secured tbs money to
travel without the knowledge of those
who knew him by saving tips he Sc
cured from visitors to the insane asy-
lum and secreting them in his room.
She also stated that Eer story OF
his visit to Canada prior to coming
to Florida was wrong, that Vaughn
came directly south to Florida and
secured a position as school teacher
at Gillett, a small town sousl Of Tam
pa, later going to Plan: City, from
where he wrote her, and then coming
to Port Tampa last fall to take the
assistant principalship, which he held
when arrested.
Mrs. Vaughn stated, when told by
the sheriff that she was not wanted
by the authorities, that she would re-
main in Florida
Sheriff Haise says the reward, az
proximately 5000, will 5e forwarded
to Tampa for division among those re-
sponsible for Vaughn's arrest. He
stated the Odd Fellows ctfer Of a
reward had previously been with
drawn. He still refused to state just
what would be done with the body
indicating that he did not know, but
was merely ordered to take il back.

CARLISLE OPENS A WINNER.
Takes First Games From Batesburg
and Orangeburg Last Week.

Carlisle's baseball team journeyed
to Batesburg Thursday, engaged the
high school boys OF that town, and ad-
ministered to them a heavy walloping
by the score Of IL to 4. All the
boys went away confident of their
antagonists, and their confidence was
reflected in the final returns which
gave them an overwhelming victory.
AS this was the first game of the sea-
son, every one was very anxious to
see how the team would play toge-
ther.
Mcleod pitched and held the oppos-
ing team safe all the way. He really
deserved a shut-out, but few errors
allowed Batesburg to cross the plate.
The batting of Carlisle was heavy
and consistent, the opposing twirler
being hammered to all corners of the
lot. By lining out two home runs
Large led in laying down the barrage
which resulted in the complete rout
of the enemy. The season has begun
most auspiciously by the winning Of
the first game and the tam is look
ing forward to many other victories
as the season progresses.
The following men made the trip
to Batesburg: Large, Hard Luck
Warren, Jig Jag Prosser, Mcleod,
Sanders, j., Lawton Dantzler, Mich
aux, Sanders, X, Thompson, and
Ambrose, and Coach Gault.

ROAD JACK BUILT.
Brings Joy to the City and Country
Alike.

This is the road that Jack built.
This is the farm that stood by the
road that Jack built.
There is the COW with the crumpled
horn, that fed on the grain and
chewed the corn, on the farm that
stood by the winding road that Jack
built.
This is the farmer, no longer Tor
lorn, that MIXED the COW with the
crumpled horn, that ate the grass
and that chewed the corn and
brought the farmers as sure as you're
born, a wealth of shekels from milk
that morn, because he should easily
get it to town on the crackerJack
road that Jack built.
This is the motor as fine as SILK,
that carried the farmer and cans OF
milk, to the folks that lived in the
city fiat, to feed the baby and also
the cat, the milk of the COW with the
crumpled horn, that mumbled the
grass and slavered the corn, ano
was MIXED by the farmer no Longer
forlorn, who reaped the cash as
sure as you're born, because of the
road that Jack built.
This is the voter who foots thu
bill and does it with a hearty will
to get more roads from Engineer
Jack, who built the road with hi!
usual knack, the road that went b!
the wayside farm, and worked, IN
deed, like magic charm, that caused
the COW with the crumpled horn tt
enrich the farmer as sure as your
born, by sending him on with hi
motor fast, to the city flats and tn
kids at last, to gather the dollar
they paid him here on the milk b.
brought, which was only fair, AM
all because he could reach thei
abode, along and over the well-pave'
road, the superfne road, the smooth
hard road, the elegant road that Jacl
built

William Jennings Bryan to deliver
a lecture here next Saturday, April
IS, at $50 p. m. Mr.. Bryan is con-
sidered by many as Americas great

on the lecture platform. This being
his first appearance in this particular
part of the state, it is expected that

large audience. He was to have lee
tured in a nearby town a few years
ago, and a large assembly was dlsap-
pointed by his being unable to I'LL the
engagement. His address will be de-
livered in the high school auditorium
and he will be the guest of DR.. l.. A.

Carlisle Defeats Orangeburg.

Coming from behind with a rush
which swept the opposing nine off
it's feet, Carlisle ball tossers snatch
ed victory from apparent defeat at
Orangeburg Friday afternoon by a
ninth inning rally which scored 8
runs. The final score was: Carlisle,
13; Orangeburg high, II. Prosser
started twirler for the cadets, but
Jig Jag was not in his best form, for
the high school boys took very kind
ly to his offerings and piled up large
number Of runs before his retirement
from the box. Mcleod succeeded
Prosser and held the Orangeburgers
safe for the remainder of the game.
The cadets fought an uphill game all
the way, but entered the ninth inn
ing with the score almost hopelessly
against them. With a mighty deter
mination and unconquerable spirit
however, they entered the ninth inn
ing to bat their way to victory. This
inning was so full Of thrills and ex-
citement that the spectators almost
went wild, and the noise of Carlisle's
rooers was deafening.
Mcleod struck out twelve men in
five innings, showing excellent form
in the box all the way. Another fea-
ture of the game was Large's three
Dagger in the ninth inning, which
would have easily been home run
had it not struck a house and bounced
back. Prosser pitched well, but the
breaks were aginst him.

BILL WOULD NOT
HELP EDUCATION
Gen. Mann Opposes Wei
fare Department Bill
Before Committee.

Gen. Charles r. Mann, chairman
Of the war plans disision Of the Cen
eral STAFF of the War Department,
told the Congressional Joint Com
mittee on Education and Labor yes
terday that education would be no
better. off under the Kenyon-Fess
bill to create a department of Pub
lie Welfare. He objected to a pro-
vision giving the President what he
declared was unlimited power in
shifting bureaus in the new depart
ment.
II have positive evidence that the
friends of education over the coun-
try are opposed to the BILL" de-
clared L. S. Magili. representing the
National Education Association. He
said educators were in favor of an
independent department and would
insist upon removal of educational
facilities from the proposed bill.
We want leadership and not
control" he said. We could not
hope to get leadership through a
submerged bureau in this DEPART
ment."
Hearing Is Crowded.
Representative Hull. OF Iowa,
urged some provision in the reor-
ganization of government agencies,
possibly in the Kenyon-Fess bill,
for the instruction of the deaf and
dumb.
The meeting OF the joint commit
tee, which was held yesterday in
the immigration Committee room,
was as crowded as on the previous
day, but the taking Of testimony
was slow and the hearings probably
will last for two more days.
Submission Of statistics on the
costs estimated in establishing the
new department by co-ordinatinG
educational. social service, public
health and soldier aid activities.
probably will be the feature of the
session tomorrow afternoon The
bill Is advocated by President Hard
ing's special representative, Dr.
Charles F. Sawyer, while Senator
Sterling is sponsor for a bill pro-
posing the establishment of a de-
partment of education, which is
favored by many of those who favor
the broader scope of education.
