NO AGREEMENT
ON REP F ARATIONs
French and British Continue
Fruitless Discussions of
Indemnity Issue

|ated Press).-The reparations
commission met again this after
noon In an. effort to reach unani-
nous agreement regarding the
German request for a moratorium
on her indemnity payments. At
the end of several hours of dis
eussion the British and French
viewpoints were still widely at va
rance, with the Italians. and Bel.
gians merely trying to find some
proposal" which would meet the.
ideals of France and Great Britain.
Two projected solutions We're Sc
riousIy discussed. One of them
was known as the Belgian plan
and the other was an anpliicatien
OF a last minute suggestion Offered
by Germany just before Sir John
Bradbury and EngenA Macleur,
British and French members .of
the commission, left Berlin for
Paris last week. The Belgian plan
has been unofficiaIly offered by the
Belgian delegation as a means Of
preventing a break between Eng
land and France on the repara-
tions issue. Under its terms Bel.
siun would accept long term notes.
in place of the renra ming cash
payments due this year, amounting
to l50.000.O00 gold marks. AS a.
guarantee Of ultimate payment Of
these installments, Germany
would deposit 2i9, 600, coo gold
marks from the reserve of the
Reiehsbank in the Bank of Eng
land. France has not definitely
declared herself on this proposal,
and N. De La.C .Crok, Belgian mem $
ber Of the commission. and NJ
Duboise. president, are confer;
ring in the.,hope thar it might:
prove satisfactory. England and
Italy already have approved the
proposition.
The German plan which proba-
bly, will be the subject ofFeenver-
sations between the commission
and German officials on Wedtnes-
day, would meet Premier F,oin-
cares demand for allied control Of
German state mines and forests by

duets Of these resources during, the
period, of the moratorium.

stipulated timber and coal would

is behind this arrangement, which
is regarded eas giving France the.
productive guarantees she seeks

The British continue to empha-

doing everything she can to meet
the French point OF view and
would be wiling to give the pro-
ductive guarantees which NJ. Poin-:

a strictly business character, and
not political.
sN The French Official position con-.
tinues to be that full control of
the German mines and forests
must be handed over to the allies
in return for a moratorium. How.
ever, there is considerably less,

and more Of the desire Of France

You ask why? Oh, dust because" :"
But it makes no real difference
which yoe are in team work to

to welcome Miss Prosperity whom
the optinlists claim is lurking
"just around the corner" when she
takes a notion to visit Sumter and
Sumter County.

endon Counties, al the hust}ing
town of Pinewood, on Friday, Sep

Now, lead horses are mighty
fine, but wheel horses are also
very essential in pulling load up
or down the hill. Sumter wants
every pushing booster" it can
muster UP for September the sth
in case Of 'tb1ow out" or a. sag"
In the band wagon machinery.
The young men want to show how
they can pull as lead horses, and
many wheel horses and pushefs
are wanted to keep the. old wagon
running on the high gear and make
the young fellows keep the pace
EanG sweat before or by the time
they reach Pinewood. No one
doubts these young men will be
there when the general roll is cali
ed for dinner Ga September the
9Th, but they want everybody IN
Sumter to help them pull the load
and show that Sumter and Sumter
County are still on the map in
capital red letters, and then some.
T The business and professional
establishments of Surater profess
sional men and women are isvited
and expected TO furnish cars aud
representative for this big event.
Employees as well as employers
are invited and urged te partici-
pate. This booster trip is open
TO every body in Sumter and Sam
ter county, Our good friends OF
Clarendon are also. invited and are
urged 10 meet Sumter county at
Pinewood on Friday, September
the Sth. A committee of the Young
Mems Business League will inter
view business establishments about
representation. Probably John
Buck will be the main guy in this
interviewing proposition because
the booster trip to Remberr had
about the largest number OF cars
promised through Johns hypnotis-
ing efforts ever promised in Sum-
ter.
When it comes to ..bucking the
buckers" it takes John Buck to
buck them clear out Of Sumter and

THE HAMBURG
:, :. MURDER
Killing of Railroad Guards
Near Augusta Was a Bru-
tai Affair

Aiken, Aug. 30.-Eugene Feaster
of Bath and j. Reedy Booth OF
/; aiken were shot, stabbed and
dubbed to death by six or seven
men about 5 o'clock this morning
at the Southern railway shops at
Hamburg, where they had been
! employed as night watchmen dur
ing the shopmen's strike.
When the watchmen were found
about an hour after the attack,
Feaster was dead, but Booth was va.
| conscious and was able to. give
some details Of the affair. He died
| a few hours later at the University
/ hospital ip Augusta. Feaster S
body had been riddled with bull
lets from. a rifle. pistols and shot
gun: three balls from a high pow
er rifle had passed through has
left side and there was deep cash
in the right shoulder, severing the
collar hone. This wound appear
! ed 70 have been inflicted with some
bayonet-like instrument.
Eooth said after being shot
! through the thigh he feigned death
ito escape the murderous shots OF
] their assailants, who fired on
Feaster after he was down. Booth,
after falling from the shot, was
s,raatally kicked about the face and
meek, the back OF mis- head being
crushed in as from a blow from a
rifle butt. He attempted to crawl
away from the scene after the men
had left and had managed to make
about 90 Yards when loss OF blood
caused him TO stop where he was
discovered by Special Agent Britt
/ and others. He was immediately
rushed to Augusta to a hospital. II
was thought at first that he would
survive. but weakened by the loss
OF blood and the terrible blow on
the head he died at 9 o'clock.
One or two clues have been dis
covered but so far not much is
known of the affair. About 1880
la. m., two men walked into the
yard and we're followed by the two
night watchnen. They were led
outside the yards a short distance,
where the four or five other men
were waiting and were fired upon
with pistols, shotguns loaded with
buekshet and rifles.
Eugene Feaster was "a years OF
age and formerly resided at Gran
titeville. He is survived by wife
and one small child. j. Reedy
Booth was 2S years Of age and a
young man OF quiet ways and ster-
ling qualities. He resided with his
mother and father, Mr.. and Mrs.
James Booth, on upper Iatifens
street IN Aiken. He was mems
lber of the Aiken post, American
I Legion.
