PIECE OF PIPE ..s..
FRACTURES SKULL
Fight Develops at Anderson Gin
When Wagon IL Driven
In Out of Order.

Anderson, Oct. 14.-Bussie Watt,
young white man at Starr, was
struck over the head last night in an
altercation at cotton gin by Prue
Hickman and is said to be in a criti-
cal condition. He stood the opera
ton at local hospital we'll when a
part of the skull was removed.
From the story of witnesses it
seems that Crayton Watt, father of
the young man, had load Of cotton
to be ginned. There was a long line
Of wagons waiting, and he was CIV
en- the number of SO. When wagon
drove out from underneath the sue
tion pipe, Watt drove in out Of regu-
lar order. The manager was called
and he was ordered to take his
wagon out and wait his turn. Words
ensued and the elder Watt got out
of the wagon and picked up a piece
of pipe starting towards Hickman.
The manager is said to have grabbed
the pipe out Of the hand of Watt.
The younger Watt went to help his
father and Hickman is alleged to
have hit him across the head with
the pipe, fracturing the skull. Hick-
man said the elder man attempted
again to attack him, but he did not
try to strike him. Hickman is about
40 years of age and the injured man
about 90.
Hickman is out on bond, awaiting
the injuries of young Watt. The
amount If bond is $3.50.

MOVES IN AND GETS OUT
Oranseburg Farmer Sells Out and
.... Comes To Town

Orangeburg Sun.
A farmer in the eastern section
of the county recently decided that
farming was not all that some people
thought, and he decided to move in
to Crangeburg, to enjoy the advan-
tages of city Life. He had not sue
ceeded very profitably with his cot
ton crop, but he had quite quanti-
ty Of corn ON hand, one or two head
Of live stock, and a considerable ag-
gregation Of farm chattels. He
thought the matter over, decided to
sell what he had and get on into
town.
He made trip to Orangeburg.
He looked over the town. It looked
good enough for him. He rented a
house. On the brightly appointed
day he rented four wagons and
teams and carted his household fur
nishings into the city, where he ex-
pected to live and placed his children
in school. Then he got out to hunt
work. He didn't find it. On the day
after moving in he held a family
conference and decided that the old
farm has its advantages, and so
he hired the teams again and depart
ed from hence. He reached the old
farm that night and slept on the
cold, hard floor, because his moving
vans failed to register.
The sad part about it vast that
he had paid a months rent in ad-
vance had disposed of his stock, and
many Of his chattels, including his
corn crop. He Is now back on the
farm with different ideas as to the
value Of farm and town life.

upon the ground that the conditions re-

of non-interfetence. But shortly after
ward Mr. Wilson had to modify his views
on the question, with the result that the
State Department in the summer of 1918
inaugurated a policy virtually reversing
the Wilson idea.

the American Government would no

LABOR TO RESPOND
READILY, SAYS M. P.
America Takes Place Left by
League Timidity, Declares
G. n. Barnes.

LONDON. Nov. is (Associated Press). -
Parliament and former member Of the
Cabinet, in letter to the London Times,
sets forth the position Of labor respect
ing the proceedings at Washington. The
American Government, he says. has
boldly taken the place left open for IT
by the timidity Of the League of Ma
tions and has struck chord which will
find ready response in the mind and
heart of labor throughout the world.
Secretary Hughes's way is the way
for which the masses Of the people have
been waiting ever since the termination
of the war, he continues, and argues
that the American proposals must be
supported against the interests which
may presently be raising their voices In
protest.
Mr.. Barnes advocates even buying off
the armament interests, If necessary,
and dropping the armor plate plants to
the bottom of the sea.
England Well Off.
He contends that the Hughes plan
will leave England in better position
now and at the end of decade than If
the projected American, British and jap
anese programmes had been completed,
for England would still be the equal of
America, which has double England's
population.
"Japans position is different" he
says, "for she is relegated to a per-
90 ;,,fa ,fe
must bring up the question of an out
let for her surplus population"
Finally. Mr.. Barnes refers to the limi-
tation Of land armaments and the pos
sibilty of France, relieved of naval
expenditure, being induced to spend
still more on her army unless some pro-
vision Is made to guarantee her position
by a revival of the British and Amer
lean convention, or some modification
thereof acceptable to America. He also
argues in favor of the admission of
Germany to the League of Nations, In
order to prevent Germany from enter
ing a hostile combination.
Asauith's Warm Praise.
Former Premier Asquith to-day de-
clared that in the course OF n single
week a longer step had been taken in
advance than in the whole of the last
three years.
Speaking at the opening of the War
Memorial Library of the Architectural
Association, he evoked a storm of ap-
plause when he said "In my judgment the
problem of naval disarmament lies at
the threshold of new and better future.
The proposals which are now put for
ward by the Government OF the United
States offer for the first time a prac-
tical prospect of deliverance both for

If one restricts the scope of the sug-
gested tripartite entente In conformity
to American tradition one naturally re-
calls the memorable note exchanged be-
tween Secretary Root and Ambassador
Takahira on. November 3, 1908.
The Root-Takahira note states that
America and Japan "are animated by a
common aim, policy and intention" in
"the regions of the Pacific and that "a
frank avowal of that aim. policy and
intention would not only tend to
strengthen the relations of friendship
and good neighborhood which have i'm
memorially existed between Japan and
the United States. but would materially
contribute to the preservation OF the gem
eral peace" With this preliminary
statement the note defines It's object as
follows:
1t is the wish OF the two Govern
ments TO encourage the free and
peaceful developments OF their COM
merce on the Pacific Ocean.
The policy of both Governments.
uninfluenced by any aggressive ten
dencies, is directed to the mainte-

IL is not only in England that the
Anglo-Japanese alliance has been Sc
verely criticised. In Japan, too. its popu-
larity has been waning. And yet the
leading statesmen and publicists of
Japan are undoubtedly for the continual
tion Of the alliance.
They cherish something of senti-
mental affection for the remarkable pact
by whicvh the two island Powers have
assisted each other for two decades.
They know that Japans continued as
ISOLATION with the foremost Power OF
Europe will be an asset to her yet un-
certain prestige among the nations. To
put it plainly Japan is afraid of isola-
ton.
For this reason Japan will undoubtedly
welcome the renewal OF the alliance
with England, even in much modified
form.
