be Japan's political aim, with relation
to problems before the Pacific confex-
ence. He is moderate and conciiiatory.
He criticises Japan's policy in Corea
and in China. He admits that Japan
has little to complain of on the score
of the exclusion of immigrant labor
from the United States. He also con-
| cedes that there is no overpowering de-
| mand in Japan for relief from the pres
sure of surplus population. He says
that Japanese in this country merely
want to be protected in their treaty
rights; that Japan, taught by recent
errors, wants to retain in China only
her mining, railroad and commercial
concession [ If she retains them she will
be nearly master OF ncrthern China :;

berian raw materials, and that at home
her people are anxious to see the fran
chfse extended and the labor situa-
tion cleared up.
But Japan's vital want is deftly
and unobtrusively suggested at
the end of the professors little vol
ume. 1t is shat the Pacific Ocean must
be made the boundary line between
Japan and the United States. The
boundary line is now as far west as
Guam and the Philippines. All that
the United States would have to do
would be to withdraw to the California
coast, leaving the ocean 8 No Mans
Land. That would, of course, remove
most causes of controversy with Japan
over what might happen in China and
the Far East. We should be too far
away to be effectively concerned in the
working cut of Japan's benevolent or
other designs for US on the other side
of the world.

lard, approaches the work of the con-
ference from a new angle. It suggests
that American-Japanese frictions are.
after all, Of minor consequence. The
real agreement to be sought is an ar
rangement restoring TO the United
States the benefits of the freedom of
the seas. Mr.. Hullard believes that
we shall not be ables to enjoy these
benefits if we remain outside the
League Of Nations. Great Britain and
Japan would never consent TO that.
The logical outcome of the conference
discussions, the author thinks, would
+ be decision on the part Of the United
States to enter the League.
Once inside it we would have theo-
retically any freedom of the seas
which other members have. Yet the
British-Japanese alliance is still in
existence, despite the fact that these
two nations have subscribed to the
League covenant. Who would have
to enforce the freedom of the seas
against them if on any occasion
they felt like restricting it? The
League or the United States? Our
problem would hardly be any differ
ent, inside or outside the League

Play on May 13.

Under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Legion Post of Edgefeld county
an amateur production, entitled "The
Microbe of Love-" will be given in the
Edgefeld theatre on May 13. Wayne
P. Sewell, one of the greatest lyceum
artists in the United States, has
agreed to send one of the many stars
which he has presented to the the
atrical world, who will conduct the
rehearsals and stage polished and
finished production that will be a
credit to all concerned. The director
will arrive in Edgefield on or about
May 5. In the meantime, preliminary
preparations for this event will be-
gin. A committee of ladies have kind
ly consented to assist the Post in Sc
lecting a cast who will be fitted for
the various roles which this produc-
tion calls for. Selections for the cast
will be from the splendid local ma
terial in and around Edgefeld.

ening to the closing number, the pro-
gram was interesting and beautifully
carried out, all of the children per-
forming their parts in highly cred
liable manner. 1t must have required
a great amount of work to prepare
SO many children, of all sizes and
ages, for such varied and attractive
program, and the credit fer the splen-
did success of the day has been given
more to Mrs. Lovick Smith than to
any other member of the church or
Sunday school. She labored tirelessly
and increasingly in making Children's
Day at the Methodist church a sue
cess. And all who were fortunate
enough to be present will say with
one accord that the entire occasion
was a great success. The exercises
were closed with prayer by Mr.. w. P.
Gordon.

Weevils Up and Doing.

Think of it, here it is just the first
of May and the boil weevils are up
and doing their devilment! Mr.. j. R.
Scurry noticed a few days ago that
the cotton was dead or had disap-
peared on portion of row and up
on examination found that weevils
were actually now at work on the ten
der cotton almost before it emerged
from it's swaddling clothes. If weevils
are now sucking the life out of the
cotton, even early in May, what will
they be doing the latter part Of June
and early in July?

Attended Funeral of Uncle.

Mrs. L. Y. Moore went to Columbia
Yesterday to attend the funeral of her
uncle, Mr.. J. w. H. Duncan, who was
instantly killed Monday night by be-
ing run over by an automobile. Mr..
Duncan was about 60 years of age
and was prominent citizen of Co.
lumbia, having served in his younger
days as member of the city council.
He was retired merchant and an
active member of Washington Street

Beautiful Exercises by the
Children.

A large congregation gathered at
the Methodist church Sunday morn
ing to attend Children's Day exer-
cises. After the church was filled,
with many standing the aisles, a con-
siderable number had to be turned
away, which is unmistakable evidence
that the people eagerly looked for
ward to the occasion with pleasant
anticipation. The chancel and ros-
trum were appropriately decorated
for the children as they carried out
the program. Mr.. S. B. Nicholson, su-
perintendent of the Sunday School,
acted as master of ceremonies, and he
called upon Mr.. Willie QUITS who was
present from Harmony to open the
exercises with prayer. From the op-

A Terrible Tragedy.

The friends Of Mrs. Orin Reese Of
Belvedere, who before her marriage
was Miss Weinona Mathis, the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. D. T. Math-
is of Golfers, were greatly shocked
to learn of the terrible accident
Thursday which came near costing
her her life. Mr.. Reese has small
gasoline engine on his premises with
which he pumps water into a large
tank, and wishing to stop the engine
Thursday, Mrs. Reese made an effort
to remove the belt or in some other
way stop the engine with her foot,
as she had seen her husband do a
number of times. Her foot or skirt
was caught by the belt and she was
dragged into the machine violently,
breaking and terribly mangling one
of her limbs below the knee and also
breaking her arm in two places. She
was placed in an automobile and car
ried at once to the hospital in Au-
gusta, where her leg had to be am
putated just below the knee. Her
arm will be saved. Since the terrible
accident occurred her friends have
been deeply grieved and distressed.
It seems that she escaped with her life
as if by a miracle. The last reports
were to the effect that she was doing
as well as could be expected to have
received such great shock to her
system.
