Sumter School Again

. At a recent meeting of the board
of trustees at Sumter, Miss Marion
Parsons was reelected as teacher of
the Sumter school for the fall term
of 1921. Sumter concluded a sue
cessful term of full nine months
last Friday with splendid barbecue
dinner on the grounds, which was at
tended by a number of persons out
side the city, as well as by the pat
rons and friends of the school.
The closing exercises of the
school were appropriate and COM
mensurate with the splendid work ac-
complished by the students during
the school term. Miss Parsons, who
was made principal last September,
has done splendid work among the
students of the school, introducing
number of attractive features
which have added materially to the
pleasure and benefit of the pupils.
During the stay Of Miss Parsons
in Sumter as principal she made a
number of warm friends among the
trustees and directors of the school,
as well as among the parents of the
pupils and the students themselves.

BY II. n. RICKEY

WASHINGTON. May 23.-The
Treaty of Versailles will be back IN
the senate within 90 days, with a
message from President Harding urg-
ing that it be ratified
That is the conviction which is
growing very fast among those in
Washington who have been closely
following events since the new ad-
ministration came into power.
1t will be a greatly modified treaty
as compared with the form in which
President Wilson sent it to the SEN
ate and had it sent back to him,
without the ratifying resolution.
All sections and clauses referring
directly or indirectly to the League
of Nations will be eliminated, in
Guiding, of course, the covenant it,
self with its famous article ten.
Other Changes
The Shantung clauses and those re-
fcrring to mandates, also will be
more or less painlessly extracted be-
fore the senate is asked to perform.
There NAV be other clauses Of
greater or lcss Importance, cut out, in
Difference to Republican prediction
pledges and hostile senatorial senti-
mcnt.
President Harding and Secretary
of State Hughes will go as far as
they possibly can to make the docu-
ment acceptable to the two-thirds of
the senate whose votes are necessary.
But every indication points to the
one vital fact in the situation that it
is the Harding Hughes policy not to
make a separate peace with Germany
but to make peace with her in part
nershir with our allies in the war and
on the basis of the treaty negotiated
at Versailles.
Ideas Changed
Whatever may have been the IDEAS
and purposes of Harding when he
first took office. the facts of the in
ternational situation as they have de
veloped since seem to have convinced
him that a separate peace treaty witt
NGermany is not only unnecessary bu
impractical.
It is doubtful whether Rresiden
Harding ever intended to make 1
separate peace with Germany. Th'

TAXEQUALIzERS
SYMPATHETIC
County Board Starts
Grind-Realize Con
ditons

The county board flax equalizers
began their annual session Monday
morning at the court house. The
board is constituted the same as last
year, the membership being f. A.
Wilson, chairman last year, J. Ii. My
ers, and George D. WheatIey. The
first session was devoted entirely to
preliminary affairs, matters of poll
cy for this year not being even dis
cussed, it was said. Asked as to
the attitude of. the board, Mr. Will
son said:
Eve realize the condition of the
tax payers of the county"
This statement was not elucidated,
but it was taken to mean that the
board would be inclined to accept
lower valuations on property this
year than last, realizing that valua-
tions have decreased considerably as
a general rule since last spring. 1t
was stated that the policy of the
board would be publicly outlined af-
ter the members had discussed the
situation and agreed upon one.
1t was said no instructions had
ben received from the county com
missioners other than, GO to work,
transmitted by Chairman Nelll A.
Ray.
The board will occupy the office
of J. B. Ansley, county engineer, at
the court house while the grand jury
is in session, returning to its for
mer quarters after that body ad-
journS.

LAST POLICIES
Held BY DEAD
BANKER PAID
Casualty Company Set
ties Suits Brought By
Widow

Announcement was made Monday
by Col. w. A. Dodson, attorney rep
rcsenting Mrs. Helen Wheatley, wild
ow of the late Crawford Wheatley,
of Americus, that the Fidelity and
Casualty company, of New York,
had paid the two outstanding acci-
dent policies on the life of Crawford
Wheatley, Of which Mrs. Wheatley
was beneficiary, amounting to a to-
tai of $10,500, together with the
court costs. This action settles the
suits for collection of the two poll
cies which had recently been brought
in Superior court. The penalties of
25 per cent additional and attorneys
fees, asked in the petitions, were not
insisted upon in the settlement.
Motion for dismissal of both cas-
es was made by Col Dodson short
ly after the opening of the May
term of the court at 8 o'clock.
The settlement was effected Sat
urday in Macon through Attorneys
Harris, Harris and Whitman, repre-
scnting the insurance concern. The
company had promised some time ago
to make a settlement but had failed
to do so, even after the body of the
late Mr.. Wheatley had been exhumed
by the concerns own physicians, af-
firming the verdict of the local ply
sicians at the post mortem following
the bankers fatal fall December 81.
These were the last unpaid policies
on Mr. Wheatley's life, all totalling
$75, 900 or more.

FATHER SAVES
SNAKE-BIT SON
Sits Lad S Leg and Sucks
Poison From
Wound

An unusual story of the presence
Of mind of a terror-stricken father
in taking heroic action to save the
life of his young son who had just
been bitten by deadly moccasin
snake, has just come to light. The
father was Luther Ivey, lineman for
the Western Union Telegraph compa-
ny here. The child was his six-year-
old son, Carlton, the youngest of his
three boys.
They were returning home along
the Seaboard railroad track west of
town near the trestle Friday eve
ming after an afternoon of fishing III
Muckalee. The lad was trailing
along behind his father when the lat
ter heard his scream. Looking
around quickly he saw the reptile
cIinging about the child's leg, the
lad having stepped into his coil, with
fangs sunken into the flesh.
Terror seized the father, but 1t
took him only a moment to act. With
out waiting to kill the snake, he
grabbed the boy, carried him a short
distance, threw him onto the ground,
then with his pocket knife slit his
flesh deeply for several inches, then
with his own mouth sucked the blood
and poison from the wound.
The act not only saved the boys
life, but saved him more than pass
ing discomfort. The next day he was
slightly nauseated, but otherwise
feeling good.

ASSERT HARDING WILL
BACK REVISED TREATY

fact that he made Hughes and
Hoover members of his cabinet and
has relied upon them to straighten
out the tangle of our foreign rela-
tions, is strong proof to the con-
trary
Neither of them has ever favored
discarding the Versailles treaty The
most extreme nosition either of them
has taken is that it should be modi-
fed to relieve this country of GER
tain obligations and responsibilities
which it might not assume.
Bitter-Enders
The so-called bitter cnders in the
senate, under the leadership of John
son and Borah, will fight like snakes
to prevent the ratification of the
treaty, even with the league coven-
ant and other Objectionable features
. cut out
The administration knows this
perfectly well and is preparing for
the battle.
1t is hoped that when the showdown
comes friendly relations will have
been established with enough sena-
tors through patronage and other fa-
vors to more than offset the Johnson
Borah influence and that there will
be safe margin over the two~thirds
required for ratification.
Assuming that the administration
wins its fight and gets the treaty
ratified, the decks will then be clear
for the initiation of the Harding
program for an association of ma
'tions.
The passage by congress of the
Knox resolution declaring a state of
peace with Germany will in no way
interfere with the United States later
joining her former allies in the Yer
sailes treaty, with notifications. The
Knox resolution is in no sense a
substitute for a peace treaty.
The question which President
Harding will have to decide after
the Knox resolution has been passed
and signed by him is whether he will
| negotiate a separate peace treaty
with Germany without reference to
the Versailles treaty or become a
party to such parts of the latter as
meet with his approval.
All the indications point toward
his adopting the latter course.

Dorsey's Pamphlet
This was the judges entire refer
ence to the Scarborough case, and
he turned TO the recent controversy
in the state over Governor Dorsey's
pamphlet setting forth alleged mis-
treatment of negroes in Georgia. He
continued:
Another matter ! want to mention
to this grand jury is the fact that
our state has been lately very much
torn and censure voiced, to my very
deep regret, as a result of contro-
versy between some of the judiciary
and the executive department. |
don't think any good can come as a
result of fight through the press.
If the governors pamphlet was
wrong, if was Issued in bad judg
ment, or was = mistake | don't think
any neope ever benefited by wash
ing dirty linen before the public. Yet
we have undoubtedly been benefit-
ed by the discussions that have come
about aa a result Of this controversy.
The harm comes from lowering the
respect of the public for those whose
duty it is to uphold and enforce the
law Our safety and peace lies IN
a high regard Of the public for law
and high respect for those who en-
force the law. If we break dwon that
we destroy our peace and safety
"A man who lives in a good sec
ton of the state does not appre-
ciate law and order until he moves
to a section where he does not know,
after the sun sets, that he and his
family are safe until the sun rises
again-and there are places in this
state where such conditions exist.
They come about from lack of respect
for low and those who enforce law,
and the result is no protection from
the law. 1t is up to you to assist
in maintaining respect for law
