Little Warning Of Storm

Augusta. Ga. March Five
deaths appeared tonight to be the
total of fatalities in the tornado
which early today ravaged mill vii
lagos near here in Georgia and South
Carolina. The storm conferred, ac-
cOrding to reports received here at
Warrenville, s. c., where, in addition
to the five persons killed, a numb

towns Of Langley and Graniteville re-
ported no casualties, but accounts of
extensive damage from all three
places brought out numerous in
stances of hair breadth escapes.
In Warrenville, where 25 houses
were demolished, the uninjured i'm
mediately set about the work of
rescue, guided through the binding
rain in the darkness by cries for
help. Many said they had been
awakened by the rumbiing of the
storm and that trembling of their
houses just in time to escape.

Faint Hope Efforts
Alderman Group
in Manchester Strike

Manchester, n. H.. March NO
steps have been taken today seeking
a settlement of the textile strike. by
which 10000 are idle. The only ia :
vorable light has been the reply of
Agent William Parker Straw of the
Amoskeag Company, to the request
of the aldermanic committee for a
conference. Mr.. Straw assures the
committee that, although the Amos
keag has already stated its position
through the public prints. he is
quite willing to meet the aldermen
at their convenience. Outside of this
statement, nothing has developed
from the corporation side. The al
dermanic committee states that it
awaits reply from the labor lead
ers before it sets any date for the
proposed conference.
The strike commissary which has
been opened on Amherst street is
thronged daily. The strike author
tiles are selling here at cost ncces-
stiles of life to all those who hold
union cards. The needy cases. of
which there are not many reported,
are at once Investigated. and if food
is needed by the poorer classes of
strikers, it is furnished by the COM
missary free of charge.
While the fourth week OF New
Hamphire's biggest strike proceeds
peacefully. one of the results of the
idleness is the depreciation in bust
ness, which. in a way, had been eX-
pected. Yet, perhaps the falling off
in business at the stores is more
than was expected. The strikers are
apparently outstanding their re-
ources. The candy merchants state
that their trade has fallen off one
half. The drug stores also see a
decrease in receipts. All kinds of
street business suffers to more or
less extent.
The strike press committee is pre-
pairing an answer to the recent adj
vertisement of the AmOskeag Com
pany.

Younger, Real Provoker of
Present Crisis !.

London, March 7.-(By The A. P.)
He was one of the greatest figures
of the worlds history,--what is the
use of abusing him." said Sir Arthur
J. Balfour, alluding to Prime Minis
b ter Lloyd George, in a speech at the
Carlton Club today. This speech.
which was expected to give some
clarity to the situation, threw no
light on the crisis, however, and Sir
Arthur, like his unionist colleagues.
Austen Chamberlain and Sir LAM
ing WorthinGton- Evans, far from
reproaching Sir George Younger who
was the real provoker of the crisis,
did not even mention his name.
Balfour made a powerful plea for
continuance of the coalition system
as opposed to a return to a return to
the two party system. which he de-
clarcd was only a fair weather sys-
tenn, totally unsuited to the present
abnormal times when the nation was
still laboring under the aftermath of
the war. Never he said. was there
a time when the cooperation OF the
unionists and liberals was more de-
sirable than now and. declaring that
he had spent many years politically
fighting Mr.. Lloyd, and therefore
ought to know something about him.
Balfour paid a more glowing tribute
to Lloyd George than had even been
heard from the Prime Minister'S en-
thusiastic admirers.
The whole importance OF the
speech lies in the influence it is cal
culated it will have on the rank and
! file of the conservative party as com
! ing from the oldest and most respect
ed leader of that party. The extent
of this influence cannot immediate

Death of Mrs. w. D. Cheatham


Early Sunday morning about three
o'clock Mrs. W. D. Cheatham passed
away at her home on the Martin
Town road after an illness extending
over several weeks. She was conval-
escing for a time but took a turn for
the worse and human skill was unable
to cope with the disease. On account
of her reported improved condition,
the announcement of her death was a
great surprise to her friends at Edge
field who were looking hopefully to
her ultimate recovery. During her i'll
ness Mrs. Cheatham received the
constant attention Of her physician
and members of her family, two
trained nurses, one for the day and
the other for night, were with her.
Before her marriage Mrs. Cheat
ham was Miss Jennie Whatley, a sis
ter of our fellow townsman, Mr.. j.
j. Whatley, and was reared in the
Epworth section of Greenwood
county. She was a member of Red
Hill church and a devout Christian
woman. She was beloved by a large
circle of friends who will greatly miss
her. Besides her devoted husband,
Mrs. Cheatham is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Butler Hammond.
The funeral was conducted at Red
Hill Sunday afternoon by Rev. Mr..
Gregory. A large number of relatives
and friends gathered to pay a last
tribute to this good woman.
