Sheriff Hunter made four trips to
Detroit for his man.

FOLK HURT IN WRECK.
Steering Gear OF Truck broke anu
Machine Struck large Pole.

Chester, S. c., Aug. 10.-One of
the worst accidents Chester has ex-
perienced in many years occurred or
Monday night on Pinckney street
when the steering gear of a truck
IN which twenty young people were
riding, broke, hurting the machine
from the street, striking large
electric light pole. splin;cring the
pole from bottom to top. A number
OF the party were injured, some OF
whom are at Perry's/ Hospital in a
serious condition.
Among those most seriously in
jmrcd are Frank West, abouY i3
years Of age, who is suffering with a
fractured skull, an injured back and
other injuries, some of which are
probably internal. Surgeons operat-
ed on young West about II O'Clock
yesterday morning, and while his in
juries are considered as serious, it
is thought that he will recover un!
less complications set in. Others
were more or less injured, the injur-
les ranging from serious bruises to
injured spines, dislocatcd hips and
broken bones.
Those who visited the scene Of the
accident state that It Is remarkable
that none Of the occupants Of the
truck were killed outright. The
young people had been to pond in
the country, where they had engaged
the city and were engaged in riding
around when the accident occurred.

LEGION TO cur our RED TAPE
Campaign Began Last Monday in tht
state for Benefit Service Men.

Government agencies, the Red
Gross and he American Legion be-
gan work in South Carolina Monday
last in their "clean-up campaign" to
cut the red tape that has prevented
thousands Of disabled veterans from
receiving the aid that the govern
ment is glad to give, and has retard-
ed the adjustment of hundreds of
claims Of others who were in the
service during the World War.
The cleanup squad is composed of
experts, who have the one purpose
in view of getting in touch with the
veterans and starting the machinery
to get for them a quick and satisfac-
tory. adjustment Of their affairs.
Greenville was selected as the be-
ginning point Of the cleanup squad.
IT will remain there until August 20.
during which time it will set into
touch with every veteran in Green
willie and Pickens counties.
From GreenVillo the squad will
sections of which Anderson, Green
wood, Aiken, Barnwell, Beaufort,
Charleston, Orangeburg, Columbia,
Sumter, Georgetown, Darlington, Ma
rion, Conway, Rock Hill, Laurens
and Spartanburg are the centers. At
each Of these centers from one to six
counties will be served, and in this
way the entire State will be covered.
the squad remaining in South Caro-
lima until Nov. |.
In the next few weeks similar
work will be undertaken in every
State in the Southeastern section.
The plan Of campaign is simple.
1t contemplates giving each veteran
the opportunity to have his difficul-
ties of compensation and voca anal
training and medical treatment
Strengthened out right at home in
stead Of through lengthy long-dis-
tance correspondence. At the same
time the squad will give every vet
eran chance to find out wheth " ne
has a claim, and If he has, to file !
for him. so that he will get immedi-
alto results.
Obviously the biggest problem in
the campaign is getting in touch
with the veterans, particularly those
who live in outlying communities.
TO overcome this difficulty the gov
ernment, the Red Cross and the Le-
gion have issued joint appeal to
every patriotic organization in the
State to lend aid in seeing that word
OF the coming Of the squad reaches
the eX-service men, and in explain
ing to them just what the coming Of
the squad means to them personally.
Every arrangement has been made
to relieve veterans who report to the
squad from every Inconvenience, de-
lay and expense. AS soon as dis
abled soldier arrives at headquarters
he will be furnished with transport
tation back home and meals and
lodging as long as his business lasts.
1t Is particularly important that each
ex-service man bring his discharge
with him to headquarters.

HAYS GIVES OUT. SOME LABOR ADVICE BET ORE CARRIERS
Economic and Industrial Problems Which Now Seem Serious Can and Will Be
 Solved, He Says
By Associated Press

St. Louis. September 5.-Economic difficulties and industrial problems which now seem serious can and vii be solved in only one way, and that is by finding exact justice and en- forcing it, Postmaster General Hays declared here tonight in a Labor Day address before the annual convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers,
 Every problem is soluble" he asserted. 'It is simply a matter Of a square deal. Live and let live is not enough" Mir. Hays continued i've must live and help live in America, The labor of the country constitutes it's strength and it's wealth It is it's greatest asset and is entitled to and must receive fair representation in the councils of nations. The bet ter labor Is conducted, the higher it's reward and the wider it's opportuu- ities and the greater it's comforts and rcfinements, the better will be our civilization and the better will be our government, the more sacred our homes.

HUNGER AND DEATH VERY COMMON IN
 STREETS 0F RUSSIA
Hunger, TyphuS, Cholera and Exhaustion Carry off Hun dreds of FugitiveS, ES-
 peciaIIy Children
By AssociateG Press

Samara. Russia, September D. Hunger and death go virtually un- noticed in the neglected streets and alleys of Samara. Refugees from famine districts near this city, esti- mated from 3O,OOo to 5o,OO0. are hud died together in deserted buildings, unused factories, tattered tents and in wagons massed about the open spaces about the railway stations and the docks along the Volga river.
 Hunger, typhus, cholera and eX- haustion are carrying off hundreds of the miserable fugitives young chill sdren falling victims readily to the famine and it's attendant scourges. Bedraggled and ragged refugees are constantly carrying pine collins to- ward the cemetery, where unpainted wooden crosses mark hundreds of new graves which have been dug since the flight before the advancing fam inc began. From 30 to 100 starving children are gathered up daily from the streets or turned over to the cen tral refuge by parents who cannot feed them. Many of these little suf- ferers have typhus fever. but the hos pitals are without beds and medi- cines.

sheet or brown paper, has printed an announcement that the American re- lief administration workers have reached Moscow and that S00.00O tons of American food is en route to Rus sia. The discouraged and hungry population, however, is loath to be- lieve that aid will come. and with Russian stoicism the thousands of refugees moving through this great railway center are camping along the highways and endeavoring 10 obtain railway rides to any place where food may be secured.
 Vladimir Soksolsky, chairman of the Samara provincial soviet told the Associated Press last week that 500 carloads of seed grain had already arrived from Moscow and that enough was expected to enable the peasants of Samara province to SOW approx imately 1.000,000 acres of wheat Cor the next harvest Samara usually plants an area of 10 times this es tent but this year the area sowl amounted to only 100000 acres, and the crop was almost a failure be- cause of the drought.

 Conditions at Semay yenkena, Vil- lage 30 miles from Samara. and re- mote from railway or river com munications, are typical of the misery existing throughout the province of Samara. The peasants there are eat ing bread made from melon rinds, sunflower seed and grass seed. One mother killed her baby last week. saying she could not bear to see it starve. Other mothers are threa ten ing to kill their children. One wom- an with six children said to the As sociated Press:
 You know, 1t takes children SO long to die. 1t is too horrible to watch them shrivel up"
 One old woman showed the cor respondent loaf of mouldy green bread, and then pointing to flour mill surmounted by q windwheel, she begged send us something to- griud. It has been so long since there has been any real bread"
 Hundreds of families were moving toward Samara when the correspou dent passed through Semayenkena. They were carrying all their belong ings on rickety wagons, drawn by starved horses which were dropping dead by the wayside.
