CIX years ago in Chicago, when she
~ was still many summers this side
Of zone and twenty" Alexa Stirling
carried Mrs. vanderbeck to the twenty
second hole in the semi final round OF
the women's golf championship.
That was Miss Strings final defeat
in any golf championship on this side
of the sea.
She won the title year later, de-
Tended it in 1919 at Shawnee and again
at Mayfeld last fall.
And last summer Miss Stirling eS-
tended her conquest of the North Amer
lean plateau to Canada, where she
annexed the Canadian title at Hamil-
ton. having one round as low as 20 over
6400 yard course.
The First Check

W Of the Atlantic, Miss Stirling found
her match upon additional Kingdoms
checked BY Cecil Ieitch in the rain and
wind of Turnberry.
Here, upon the Scottish Coast. within
sight Of the diSmantlcd castles of Bruce
and Wallace. Miss LEIGH stopped the
American star in ard-fought battle
through a Scottish storm.
! Later on. in the French champion
ship. Miss Stirling was beaten by Miss
Joyce Wethered. who in turn fell be-
fore the triumphant play of Miss
Letch. Now the situation has changed.
Miss Stirling is back again, ready to
defend her Canadian and American
titles. while Miss Letch is the invader
who hopes to expand the borders Of her
/ golf domain.
1t was. Of course, something Of n
blow to be stopped in Scotland and in

The German
Peace Treaty
Text Not Made Public, But It
is Said to Embody Some
Sections of Versailles
Treaty

Washington, Aug. 24.-The new
treaty with Germany was laid be-
fore members of the senate foreign
relations committee today and was
received by them with some eX-
pressions Of uncertainty but with a
general show Of approval
The text Of the treaty was not
made public pending word OF It's
signature in Berlin, but it became
known that the document reafflrms
features of the peace resolution and
gives force to various portions OF
the unratified treaty Of Versailles.
A first impression Of approval
was voiced by Republicans and
Democratic committeeman, alike,
and although final decisions were
reserved there appeared little pros
pect tonight that the treaty would
lead to a long bitter fight when it
is submitted formally for ratifica-
ton. It's submission is expected as
soon as the senate reassembles a
month hence after the congression-
al recess.
Among the first to express a IA
vorable opinion from the Democra-
tic side was Senator Hitchcock Of
Nebraska, who, as senior Demo-
cratic member of the committee,
led the fight for ratification Of the
Versailles treayt. Declaring he had
received very favorable i'm
preston of the newly negotiated
pact, Mr.. Hitchcock said he saw
no reason why it should not be
ratified promptly. Similar views
were expressed privately by other
Democrats, although none Wuold
talk for publication.
: Among the Republican members
of the committee the only discour-
agement was presented by the
attitude of Senators Borah Of Ida
no and Johnson Of California. The
latter is absent from Washington.
and Senator Borah had not word
to say until he had the opportuni-
ty for further study Of the treaty.
All the other Republican commit
teemen are said to have agreed to
support ratification.

LIVERPOOL COTTON
COTTON LETTER

FURNISHED by. MacDowell & Coz
New Orleans. Aug. 25.-Having
become alarmed at last regarding
the outlook for very small cotton
crop this year, probably the small
est in 25 years, trade buying made
it's appearance in a large volume
today, futures and spots being in
good request. at prices very much
higher than yesterday.
Advices from Texas are TO effect
that the drouth continues to hurt
the crop and that farmers expect
Is cents basis of middling in The
near future. AS a result only about
one half Of the receipts are being OF
fered for sale. balance being held
for higher prices.
Present indications are that
west Of the. Mississippi river will
not make as much as did Texas
alone last year, which was 4,343,-
600 bales. In fact private advices
indicate that the whole belt this
year will make only about as much
as Louisiana, Arkansas. Oklahoma
and Texas produced last year which
was 7,2S2,000 bales which would
compare with 13,36G,000 for the
whole belt last year, linters eXclud-
ed.
Rumors are current that there
is a strong demand for spots here
and in. Texas today with the local
market likely to be quoted about
rs points up or near the IA cents
level for middHng.
There has -developedsa "a. strong de-
mand of late for cottons goods IN
the northern markets, trading being
especially lively in New York and
Fall River where prices are adj
yancing.
Retailers. merchants, jobbers and
SINNERS are gradually becoming
much concerned as TO the probabil-
ity Of values for goods and raw cot
ton advancing to higher levels per-
haps. to. a much higher level even
tually which accounts for the re-
vival in the. demand lor the slapie
and the finished product.
. In event of the crop. turning out
to be as small as now predicted and
in event Of consumption by the
world of American cotton increas-
ing to 12,5O0,000 bales this season
against 10, 800, 900 bales last season,
which is probable Of realization the
burdensome .carryoyer Of last year
and most of this years crop Will
have vanished by next summer TO
the next summer to the extent OF
reducing the worlds surplus OIL
American to almost famine proper

The situation has changed IN It's

Who Will Be
Postmaster?
Five Candidates Now Report
ed To Be in the Field

The Republican directors of the
postofHce department seem to fnd
it no easier to decide who shall be
appointed postmaster for the city
Of Sumter than did their Democrat
ic predecessors For more than
two years Assistant Postmaster T.
S. Doar-who has acceptably filled
that position for more than fifteen
years-has been in charge of the
postofice in the capacity Of Acting
Postmaster. Mr. Doar was recon-
mended for appointment as post
master Immediately that a vacancy
occurred and it is matter of rec
ord here and in the department
at Washington that he has prac-
tically the unanimous Endorsement
Of the people of Sumter without re-
spect to politics, race or sex.
The civil service commission, and
the postofice department have
had representatives here several
times-at least three or four sepa-
rate occasio ls-& make an inves-
tigatioc of the situation and ascer-
tain the sentiment of the patrons
of the Office respecting the several
applicants for appointment. Only
last week representatives of the
civil service commission and post
Office department spent a day in
the city making an investigation.
They. interviewed the several can
didates, called on a number of buSl
ness men and other patrons Of the
office and made general inquiry
as to the reputation and qualifica-
tions and acceptability CT the ap-
pHcants. OF course these gentle
men gave out no statement and
nothing was said to indicate the
results Of the inquiry, but it was
learned Indirectly that since the
change Of administration at Wash
ington new candidates for the po-
sitiOn Of Postmaster have entered
the field. 1t is stated that the can
didateS now listed are: Acting Post
master T. S. Doar. Major j. Wes-
iey Bradford, Former Postmaster
Geo. u. Shore. Mr. J. w. Carroll Of
Sumter. cnd Mr. J. r. Bali, Of
WedgefelG. When the appointment
Will be made and who will be the
appointee no one knows But it
could be easily settled by leaving it
to a vote of all the patrons of the
office.

Panama is Ready
TO Give Battle

Panama, Aug. 22.-(By tn AS
sociated Fress) ).-Panama IS pre-
pared and ready to repel the Costa
Ricans should they invade the dis
nuted Coto territory. No definite
action will be taken, however, until
it has been learned what attitude
.he United States government Will
adopt toward Panama in the event
the Panamans oppose the tal&ng
over of Coto by the Costa Ricans.
While United States marines
were sailing southwark today to
stand by when Costa Rica marches
her forces into the tiny bit Of terri
tory whose ownership Panama has
so earnestly and long contested, OF
ficials here expressed the opinion
they would have pleasant cruise
and probably never fire shot.
Armed men to the number of $50
have been ordered to proceed to
Coto from David. They will take
with them ten machine guns
which were purchased in United
States last April.
Secretary Of Government and
Justice Alfaro has given orders to
Chief of Police arrange to hold the
entire police force Of Panama and
Colon IN readiness to march to
Coto. Identical orders have been
sent the heads Of the police forces
in interior towns.
Mayors have been ordered to re-
wise their volunteer lists and to ad-
wise their men to be ready Tor an
emergency.
