Nivinni'S DiscOllrtcSy

7 MESS we have mistaken the character
~ OF the man, Rene Vivani's soul must
have been torn in conflict between what he
regarded as the duty he sought to discharge
for his country, and the innate courtesy that
is his, when during a three weeks visit to
the United States on n special mission for
the French government, he studiously
avoided, until the very last day of his stay,
paying his respects to the very man to
whom he had come four years ago pleading
him to save his country from the iron
grasp of the German that was rapidly and
incxorably closing about the French throat.
Niviani's deliberate discourtesy to tho
man to whom the world is indebted should
not be laid entirely at the door of the dis
tingushed Frcnchman himself. No doubt
his first impulse on arriving in America was
10 pay at least call of courtesy on the man
whose friend he had been during those mem
orabic days following the war, when the
treaty OF Versailles was in the making. But
he was counseled otherwise, and courtesy
and friendship were buried in what he con
ccived TO be duty. To have brought him to
this point OF incivilty to Mr.. Wilson, no in
considerable pressure must have been
brought 10 bear on the French diplomat,
and il is no secret whence that influence
came.
One can hardly imagine mon in control
Of Il great party, which in turn controls
every department OF great government,
being so mean little. dcspicablc,
10 warn visiting statesman against even
the appearance Of q personal friendship and
the observance Of the ordinary courtesy no
had right to expect, toward the man, but
for whom France today might be little bet
ter than a German province. But the men
who traduccd Mr.. Wilson, attacked him
while he was at deaths door, overturned all
The work he had accomplished at Versailles,
betrayed the boys who sleep in Flanders
fields and robbed this nation of its justly
earned fruits of war, recognize no lengths
10 which they will not go i'll their hatred

Niviani listened to their jealous, poisoned

Judge II. W Watkins of the United
States CT rt fer :. Western District OF
South Carolina has recommended that
5000 fine. in1osed. upon Alex Childers
SIS, white, along with sentence OF
three months in Jail for moonshininG
be done away: with.
Childers is the Federal prisoner who
came to the rescue Of Deputy Sheriff
Tom Quinn when the deputy sheriff
was attacked in Jail several weeks ago
by John Hudson. alleged burglar.
Seeing the prisoner about to over
power Deputy Quinn while the latter
was engagedfh bringing prisoners their
food, Childers went to the rescue OF
the officer and helped hold Hudson
until he was securely fastened.
The prison sentence of Childers eX-
pired last Saturday and he was re-
leased from Jail. He was a model
prisoner, according to the officers who
say that they have never had. expert
ence with a better one.
Childers,. it is understood, is a poor
man and thespaynaent of the fine i'm
posed in addition to the prison sent
ence would work a, great hardship on
him. .:
The brave act Of Childers has been
brought to. the attention of Federal
Judge Watkins who sentenced him and
the Judge has promised to seeto it that
the fine be-taken off.

Judging from the reports Of growers
and others who sell the seed, more
peanuts are being planted throughout
York county than ever before, In
quiries develop that hundreds of bu-
shells have been sold and that sales
continue, but so far as can be learned,
the planting generally is in small
patches. If there are any large patches
of even an acre or more The Enquirer
has not yet been able to get infornla-
tion about the same. The more wide
spread planting of peanuts, however,
is generally taken as encouragement
as to future developments. Peanuts
are. great feed for hogs and cattle and
then. also: it 'foliowst asa matter Of
course that with the production Of
peanuts in sufficient quantity there
will develop the manufacture Of pea
nut oil and other bi-products.

you are all. right. ,-....-.,..- ..-.,
He struck match and gave the Of
| ficers the once over.
How much: liquor you want?" he
inquired:
Three gallons" was the reply.
II haven't got but gallon here;
but can get the other pretty quick
~" he said.
The officers had nothing to put it in.
Hayes agreed to sell them an oil can
for $3.50 and then he started for the
home Of Ed Shpp, colored, nearby.
ED has the rest," he said. He is
pouring it in the can now and you
fellows can pay me while he is pour
ing the other. The three gallons will
cost you $50 or S13 n gallon.
Then the officers nabbed Hayes.
Then they got Shipp and the two
gallons.
Going back to Hayes house they got
the gallon he had there.
