The purchaser, a white man about
twenty-seven years old, accompanied

Berman's store last night and took
the shirt and collar to headquarters.
The shirt had been washed since
Wednesday and therefore showed no
blood stains. There was no blood
on the collar.
Berman said two men entered his
store Wednesday night. He said he

for a shirt, collar and tie. Berman
sold him a striped shirt. a stiff COL

by observing from statistics Of

that they attach Importance to
infant life, and know how to

The railroad strikes present

It Is said the Federal Govern
ment will put soldiers at rail-

can't force men to work"
The Government Of this coun-

nor intelligent enough to run the
railroads. But If it doesn't
manage in some way to control
labor conditions, and establish
arbitration acceptable to both
sides, or II necessary COM
PULSoRY, our grand "pros-
perity," chief national asset, will
always be uncertain.

like Mr.. Mccormick had in
herited an enormous fortune.
Mr.. Cochran's fortune came
from Yonkers' carpet mills.
The reporter says Mr.. Nc
Cormick gave his new wife five
million dollars. It was not too
much. Before they were mar

It is an interesting study in

Europe to study psychology.
Mr.. Mccormick stayed in Chi

That's where he found Madame

Plans have been practically work
ed out by the Chamber of Commerce
for the organization of a marketing
plan whereby various products from
Sumter county farms may be brought
to Americas, disposed of at the mar
ket price for cash at any time, placed
in warehouse and in turn sold by the
marketing agency. The agency
would take the form of a corpora
ton for convenience, whose object
would not be to make more than
enough money to pay for operation,
but to pay the farmer as much>as
possible instead of as little. Accord
ing to George O. Marshall, secretary
of the Chamber Of Commerce and
county agent, the plan would afford
market for many products similar
to the present cooperative market
ing of hogs in this county; in fact,
the marketing of hogs would be taxi
en- over by this agency.
For the purpose of giving the peo-
pie of the community advance infor-
nation on the plans, which have all
but been closed, Mr. Marshall to-
day gave out the following state
ment:
'"There has been a call from farm
ers and merchants alike for a mar

has outlined a plan to begin the mar

hope of" enlarging the business as

DON'T TRUST RUSSIA AND

of ST. Louis, Governor of Missouri,
and Secretary of the Interior.
ST. LOUIS, April 24.-The sign
ing of treaty between Germany and
Russia was no surprise to me.
My book, Russia From the Amer
lean Embassy" shows that Lenin was
a German agent and was sent to Rus
sia for the purpose of demoralizing
the Russian army and withdrawing
Russia from the World War.
Many times, while ambassador,
recommended that the Bolshevill
Soviet government be deposed be-
cause it was an ally of the Central
Empires, with which the Entente was
at war.
Furthermore | predicted that if
Germany got control of Russia she
would organize Russia's man power
and utilize Russia's immense resour-
ces to begin another war within ten
years.

Bolshevill Soviet government, as

CASH FARMERS MARKET
FOR AMERICUS PLANNED
Chamber of Commerce Fosters Organization O
Corporation To Buy Varied Products Would
Sell Shares To Merchants and Farmers

to as many business men and farm
ers as possible. Employ sales man
ager and secure warehouse space for
those commodities which will have to
be handled through warehouse. This
Organization will begin operations by
handling limited number of farm
products until sufficient efficiency is
reac he'd to warrant taking over addi-
tional producce. In the beginning 1t
will handle vegetables, poultry pro-
duets, cream, sweet potatoes, small
grain, home cured hams, and take
over the live stock sales as handled
now by the county agent. These pro-
duets have been suggested with the
idea in mind that farmers are able
TO make some money on these COM
medities. There are other crops to
be added to these as the enterprise
develops, but it is probably best to
get a few crops we'll handled in the
beginning and add others as seems
wise.
"This is an undertaking for the
benefit of farmer and merchant alike
and the Chamber of Commerce would
appreciate an expression from the
people as to their approval.
THE organization will buy and
pay for these products when deliver
ed but it viii be the policy Of the or
ganization not to buy as cheaply as
possible but to pay the market price
allowing the warehouse only the mar
gin necessary to take care Of the
handling charges. 1t will really
mean selling comparatively without
experiencing the inconvenenees of
cooperative selling

result is the two departments have

been paying for it in lack of serv-
ice. | believe in harmony and the

LLOYD GEORGE ONLY

has patched up peace With the Ger

They tried % wreck lis confer

to which he is willing to go to keep
the Genoa parley intact at least
long enough to get together with the
Russians.
The Germans are once more in
official good standing-having ac.
cepted the Allies demand that they
Withdraw from the commission dis
cussing the Russian question.
In effect their punishment for vio4
lating the confidence of the Alli.,
was slap on the wrist. They 60,
what they wanted separate and
advantageous treaty with Rassia,
which potentially is a threat to the
rest of Europe, in a military as we'll
as an economic way. And the Allies
seem helpless to deliver a counter
stroke. a
Allies Are Hampered.
Germany, by double-crossing the
Allies, also made it much more diff
cult for the Allies to deal with the
Russians. If the Germans had not
made a secret Russian treaty the
Allies and the Russians probably
would have reached an agreement BY
this time.
Difficulties now are greatly in
creased, although Lloyd George in

agreement win be reached.
The worst result of the German
