Unbelievable Conditions

Conditions which most members
OF the audience could not believe
existed IN any part Of America we're
described last evening at the Grace
Methodist church by Claude Will
liams OF Arkansas, who spoke on
the reign Of terrorism in that state
following an attempt OF the Tenant
Farmers union to call strike last
summer.
The speaker was brought to Wa
tcrville by Rev. Alison Smith, pas
tor of the Grace Methodist church.
who also toured the south last
summer making study of the eco
nomic and social situation among
the share troopers.
Mr.. Williams, who was beaten BY
planters and imprisoned for his &C
tivities on behalf of the tenant
farmers, pointed out many interest
Ing things In connection with the
southern set-up in regard TO the
poor.
The tenants, he said, are "staked"
from a plantation commissary, with
an accounting once a year, after
the cotton is picked. No one ever
does any better than break even
and IN most cases they are kept
slightly In debt for the simple rea-
son that they cannot leave the To-
cation until they are free from fl
nancial obligations. They are thus
chained to the soil by system
which. he further pointed out, is
no better than slavery. Under
slavery, he said, an owner realizes
the property value of a slave and
tries to keep him healthy. Under
this system he has no such incen-
tive.
One Of the most ironic incidents
pointed out by the speaker had to
do with a minister companion of
his who was arrested for making a
speech instructing the natives. The
man was reading the constitution
OF the United States.

Fifty on Last Invasion.

THEN, in 1920, at the age of so,
Vardon came over again, partner
ed once more by Ray. They played
an extensive series of engagements
included in tour of some 80 cities,
and also the open championship at
the Inverness Club in Toledo. Again
Vardon was leading figure in the
drama. this time tragedy from his
point of view.
His experience was tragic because
the years, against which no one wages
q successful fight, beat him rather
than his opponents. Starting the last
day with SO holes scheduled, after he
had already played four successive
days in the qualifying and actual
championship routine, he was we'll up
with the leaders, and, for % holes of
the last day, his game was well-nigh
perfect-in fact, it was better than
perfect, If par for the course is to be
rated perfection.
He actually played those % holes in
108 strokes, four better than an aver
age of even IS, and it looked like he
would win the championship by three
or four strokes.
Strain Finally Tells.
HERE the years began to take their
toll. On the twelfth, some $40
yards against the wind, he suddenly
seemed to become very tired. He took
on the twelfth against par of 5,
because he failed to get home if three
strokes against the wind. This upset
him and he three-putted the next four
holes. Standing on the seventeenth
tee, he needd two As to win, and here
again he faced that adverse wind,
where distance was an essential to
getting his first 4. He tried desperately
to get home with q long second, but
the ball just failed to carry brook
short Of the green and he finished
the hole with 6. The championship
slipped from his grasp then and there
That was Vardon's last threat in
