Vladimir KoroIenko Noted Ukrain-
ian Novelist.

Moscow. Feb. 4.-Vladimir Koro-
lenko, Ukrainian novelist and So
cial worker. who recently died at
Poltaya. was buried with all the
honors Of the BolShcvist state
which has also endowed his fam
lily. Tor life. This in spite Of his
firm repudiation of the Bolsilevist
regime and his insiStent refusal to
support the Communist program as
a means of effecting reforms fer
which Korolcnko suffered exile
and had battled throughout his
life.
Even the radical Communists
who made up the membership OF
the recent .ill-Russian Soviet Con-
gress at Moscow honored the mem
fory Of Korolenko by standing in
silence for three minutes when the
news Of his death was received.
Korolenko was known through
out the world for his stories of
Siberian life and his struggle for
social betterment. In the terrible
famine Of 1891, he was one OF the
most prominent relief workers
among the distressed in the Volga
area. and his book entitled "a Year
rof Famine describes the horrors
Of that period.
The name of Korolenko was for
generation to the Russians the
symbol of nobleness and ernbodi-
ment Of justice He was called the
conscience of Russia
Jewry is greatly indebted to hlm
for his protest against the Beiliss
trial. alleged to have been insti-
gated by the Cars government to
expose Jews to fresh poeroms. and
no less, memorable was korolenko's S
defence in the Mutton trial where
"a whole community was falsely &C
cused of cannibalism.

The Shah Of Persia a Poet.

London, Feb. 1.-THE young
Shah of Persia who recently left
his capital, Teheran for another
trip to Europe. is said to hold a
high opinion Of himself as a poet.
In fact, according to a story told
here, he puts himself in a class
with Omar Khayyam and considers
himself: if anything, a -trifie better
than his great countrynan.
As the story is told by the Morn
ing Post. a British minister at.Te-
heran called on the Shah at the re-
quest Of English admirers of the
great Persian poet and asked that
better care be taken Of his grave
at Nishapur where, as Omar pre-
dicted, the north vino still scat
ters roses on his tomb" But Shah
could not be impressed with this
need. Persia, he declared, had lots
Of poets and he. himself, was, pos
sibly, a little better poet than
Omar.
Ahmed Mira, Shah of Persia, is
only q years old and this, some say,
may account for his opinion. He
knows English and Russian and
talks French huently and accu-
rately and mas been reported as
eager 10 learn western ways and
institutions.
In appearance his majesty is
short and stout. He takes a lively
interest in sports. plays good lawn
tennis game and, in order to en-
courage open air sports in Persia,
founded the Imperial Sports Club
at Teheran, placing at its dispos-
al a piece Of crownland.
His father, Mahomed Ali, lost
his throne in consequence Of his at
tempts to stamp out the constitu-
tional system in Persia and regain
the absolufiSm of his ancestors.
Ahmed, who was then in his 18th
year was proclaimed sovereign in
1863 and his father was sent into
exile on the famous island of
Prinkipo whore President Wilson
proposed that the allies hold a con-
ference with the Russians. as a
part of the after-war peace nego-
tiations.
He has been credited with hav-
ing kept Persia from taking the
side of the Central Powers in the
world war.

CHARLESTON
BANTAMS
WIN GAME
Gamecocks Make Single Goal
in First Half But Stage Big
Comeback and Outpoint
Charleston in Last
Period

In their last game to be played
on the home soil this season, the
sumter High school basketball team
met with defeat at the hands OF the
Charleston High school team by
the score of 80 to IS. This game,
played in the Gymnasium OF the
Y M. C. A. Friday night has the
seasons record for the most inter-
estine game and for the hardest
fought of all of Sumter's battles OF
the year. During the first half OF
the game, Sumter was unable TO
penetrate the strong defense put
up by Charleston's crack team and
scored only one lone basket during
this period, while the bantams
had accumulated 16 points. There
was another story to tell, however,
in the second half of the game at
ter sumter had made their strong
comeback, making during this
half Is points to the IA points
made by Charleston. This score is
very ereditable to Sumter in the
light of comparisons, when it is
known that Sumter now has the
record of making the best showing
of any high school Of the state
against the Charleston High Schooi
quintet. The bantanas have the
record of defeating every basket
bah team in Charleston inclusive
OF the Citadel team. They have
twice defeated the team of the
West End Athletic Club of Char
lesion which team. has won over
the University of South Carolina by
a big score. Sumter is to have
their return game with Charleston
in Charleston on Friday night.
This will end Sumter,s: basketball
season. Every member of Sum
ter,s team will be back next year
and on the job. Here's to better
luck Sumter.
The game of last night was wit
messed by a large crowd in spite of
the very bad weather and the

Ietic Club want to thank Sumter
for its splendid backing.

A Modern Nebacanezzer.

Minder Gaiflard, colored, has
been acting very peculiar lately,
and Monday afternoon she was on
the street bowihg TO the electric
light poles and acting in way to
lead the officers to believe she was
crazy, so she was locked UP. hTe
officers then went to her house ito
get her husband, Calvin, to sign
an affidavit stating that she was
crazy, and on their arrival at the
house, they found Calvin was also
crazy so he was placed in jail. Cal
vim did not have any poles to bow
to, so he proceeded to eat the grass
in the yard as if he were an OK.

Sweden Preparing FOR Prohibition.
Stockholm, Feb. 9.-Advocates
Of prohibition in Sweden have in
troduced several bills in parlia-
ment intended to clear the way for
making the country wholly dry or
at least dry in spots.
Both houses Of parliament have
adopted u bill authorizing the gov
ernment to submit to a general con-
sultative referendum the prohibi-
ton question or any other on which
the parliament desires popular
vote.
1t is understood, however, the
government will not ask parlia-
ment for prohibition referendum
in this session.
AS the referendum is only consul
tative, the approval Of parliament
will be necessary to enact it's de-
cision into law
One measure introduced in the
Rigsdag would confer power upon
municipalities to prohibit the sale
OF alcoholic liquors.

OBSERVE EQUALITY IN RINGS
Up-to-Dats Custom 10 for Bride to
Equip Man Of Her Choice With
Wedding Symbol.

Custom has decreed that when q
man receives from the woman he
loves promise that she will be his
wife. he should forthwith buy her q
ring. II is an excellent custom, &C
cordlng to the jeweler.
Most ancient and modern lovers
have observed 1t. but modern lovers
are going one better. Instead Of one
ring, two are bought, and they are
not both for the lady. Jack and jill
together wear the sign Of their en-
gagement
Equality Of sex in voting and in
the eyes OF the law Is responsible for
this new idea, according to the Louis
vile Courier-Journal For, mark you,
two pockets bear the strain. No mod
ern, self-respectlng jill would allow
her Jack to cater for his own finger.
And when the plain gold clrclet fol-
lows, again ring equality is carried
out.
II Is no new custom for men to
wear wedding rings. They have done
60 for ages. But II Is new idea that
they should not have to pay for them.
The up-to-date bride insists on doing
her share, and buys the ring for her
groom, while he purchases the sign Of
her new estate.

CITY DADS, MAKE A ~ 49,.
GOOD SALE OF BONDS
$4,000 Worth OF MaterwOrks Bonds
Sold at Premium
III Of $1.02 l-3

Members of the city council met
Monday night and closed deal where
by $15,O0O.00 worth of the cities five
percent water works bonds We're sold
at premium of $1.02 1-S.
This is part of the $4,000 voted
sometime ago, but owing to the high
cost of material an9 labor the bonds
were not sold. Thru a very fortunate
circumstance the city was able to buy
$4,000 feet of 4-inch water pipe at ia
very attractive figure, and at the same
time being able to make such sale
of the bonds, concluded to go ahead
with some expansions which have been
held off for this reason.
This is undoubtedly the best bond
sale made in Liberal and shows that
the council is getting on to the job of
selling bonds, likewise that the in
vestors are pretty well satisfied with
the security offered
The bonds will come due in 20 to 30
years serially.
The extension to be made from this
fund will give service in practically
all parts of the city, and there will be
many fire plugs in the out lying dis
tricts, reducing the fire hazard con-
siderable. 1t will enable the mains
to be connected up to conform with
the state law regulating dead ends".
Mayor Griffith and the members of
the council are to be congratulated
on this sale and the fact that they are
able to better the water system.
