VOL. XXXIX MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1919. NO.22 TIME IS UP FOR TH[ HUNS TOMORROW Must Answer Allied Powers on That Day HAVE SENT -THIRTEEN NOTES Berlin Claims Cabinet and Delegates Are United in Request fo. . Modification. Thursday of the present week is the time limit set for the Germans to make known to the representatives of the Allied and associated powers at Versailles what Germany proposes to do with regard to accepting or reject ing the terms of peace formulated for her. Berlin reports still persist that the German Cabinet and the peace dele gates at Versailles are orie in their intention to request modifications on various clauses of the treaty, the pro visions of which it is declared Ger many will be unable to meet without enslaving her self for lifetime. Tuesday is spoken of in a Berlin I dispatch, as the day on which, Ger many's answer will be ready. The latest note of the -.Germnns-their thirteenth-digs up again the ques -tion of responsibilities. Germany as serts that the only thing for which she is responsible is the violation of Belgian neutrality. For this she is ready to make reparation. It is as serted that all the powers were re sponsible for the war and that the material damage was clone by the Al lied armies as well as the Germhns. The concession with regard to the Sarre Valley agreed to by the Allies provides that Germany may create a prior charge on her assets or revenue for the payment of the mines in the Sarre region if the plebiscite to be held in the region fifteen years hence should be against the Germans. The Allies refused discussion oral ly with the Germans. A new commercial treaty with Switzerland under which Germany -will give Switzerland coal in return for cattle and produce, is being ar ranged. p TO SIGN OR NOT TO SIGN Von Rantzau is Despondent Concern ing Treaty. Berlin, May 26.-(Via London.). Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, head of the German peace delegation, in an interview with the Versailles corres pondent of Vorwaerts said he went to Versailles with the firm intention of defending what remained for the wel fare and happiness of the German peo ple, but that even this remnant had been destroyed by the peace treaty. The Count said it was a question, therefore, whether it could not be bet ter saved by refusing to sign than by submitting, as was desired by the In dependent Socialists. The chairman of the German dele gation said he would certainly fight to the last in order to try to improve the lot of the working people by nego tiation but that the delegates would besihning against the Interests of the working people if they signed condi tions which signified only "perpetual famine and unemployment." "Should I, under pressure from our own misled countrymen, sign this sen tence of death ?" asked Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau. Questioned as to whether he feared the demonstrations of the Independ ent Socialists would be successful, he said they would be unsuccessful in the sense of ifioving him to abandon his resolve not to sign what he believed would be tantamount to the destruc tiop of the nation. Referring to Herr Hanse's statement that peace must be signed and that the coming revolution would make it a scrap of paper, he said: "Wh~en I came to Versailles I had the firm hope that the time of scraps of paper had finally passed and that a new age would begin in wvhich only treaties would be signed wvhich would be respected by both sides. I have not abandoned the hope of attaining healthy international orality. A mere scrap of paper will never bear my signature." IKEEP' THllE DOLLARS G;ROWING.

McPherson, The Manhattan Girls Company, who are playing at The Pastime Theatre this week, are putting up a clean, laughable show. These people are all experienced actors and actresses and their performances are pleasing the crowded house which are greet ing them every night. Miss Helen Creecy charmingly en tertained at her home last Friday evening, a host of her friends. Sev eral games and a contest were en gaged in. Mr. William Bradham and Miss Bertha Clark winning the prize for the contest, after which delight ful refreshments of cream and cake were served by Misses Margie and Elizabeth Creecy. The guests report ed a pleasant evening. The W. C. T. U. will hold a meet ing at the home of Mrs. T. F. Coffey next Monday afternoon at 6 o'clock. Mesdames F. Richardson and J. K. Breedin will act as assistant hos tesses. All membeu are urged to at tend. "Sheep" Deas, a freak character, who left Manning some ten or twelve years ago, came back yesterday. "Sheep" still blows for :' e:o ng. and hasn't forgotten the night Chief Clark walked up on him when he had a bunch of chairs in his arms. When the chief asked him where he got them, "Sheep" said he was "Just moving a lady." The chief then rec ognized the chairs as belonging to the school, but before he could take "Sheep" in, the train put on a full head of steam, pullled the hell cord and left for parts unknown. Messrs. R. B. Terrill and F. G. Sat terfield have arrived :n Manning to stay for the tobacco season. These gentlemen will run the new warehouse opposite Clark's Warenouse, and as both are hustling tobacco men they will no doubt pull some tobacco to ward this market. Manning has a chance of being the leading market on ihis side of the Pee Dee if our bus'iess men will co-operate with the warehousemen. There is not a market in South Carolina that has a better corps of tobacco men than this place. With experienced tobacco men like Clark, Cothran, Harris and Terrill and Satterfield this market just has to creep up. The Pastime Theatre will have the greatest bill they have yet played on Friday afternoon and night. "Fatty" Arbuckle will canter some in his latest release "Love" and Wil liam S. Hart, the bad man of film dom will be there in all his glory in "The Border Wireless." In addition to these two big pictures the Manhat tan Girls Company will give their vaudeville show. This is undoubtedly a strong bill and the price will not be raised from that of the other nights this week--40c and 22c. The manage ment of The Pastime are bending every effort to give the people of Manning high-class amusement at popular prices and while the attendl ance is not what it should be for the class of pictures that are being shown they still have some hopes of drawing larger erowds. It is the manage ment's intention to improve the in terior of the bk.,ding having secured a three-year lease on the same. More seats will he installed and more venti lating fans put in, making it just as cozy as eircumstances will permit. Tfhey solicit a penerous xatronage from their, friends in Manning and vicinity. The Home Demonstration D)epart meat has recently con(Iueted a very successful Poultry conte'st. The corn no~sif ions were written by a number of the club members on interesting subjects, viz: "Poultry Management," "Marketing and Exhibiting Poultry and Eggs" and ,"History of My Poul try Club Work." The compositions hati to be sent in by May 1st, 1919. We regret that one or two arrivedl too late. The award was given by one of Claren 'don's best Poultry raisers, Mrs. F. P. Irvin and consisted of two settings of Blarredl Rock eggs. TJhe .successful cotestants wvere Pauline Peavy, of Manning, and Jake Wilson, of For .'ston. The object. of this contest was to arouse intesest among the boys and girls in thc Poultry Work ande we trust the two members that won will de'monstrate what can be ac'omnplished in P'oultry Club Work.

Johns Rejoices Over Rescue of Daring Aviator RAYNHAM HAlD EXPECTED IT Icid Firmly to Belief Hawker Would He Found Somewhere North of Scot land. St. .Johns, N. F., May 25.-Messages 'ri LAmndon today announcing the afety of Ilawker G. IHawker, and his lavigator, Lieut. Commander Mac Kenzie Grieve spread through the city us rapidly as airmen swept over it a **(,J* ago, starting the transatlantic light attempt which provided a seven lay mystery. Rejoicing was general, but was per lais greatest among the group of Brit.ish aviators who had been pre 'ring to follow in the Sopwith >lae's uncertain wake. Capt. Frederick P. Raynham, who vas stopped in his attempt to follow lawker, by the collapse of his Mar insyde's under carriage, had held irnily to the belief that. Hlawker and :;rieve would be found somewhere iorth of Scotland. The basis of his mlinion l:y in weather reports upon whiclh he and Hawerk jointly decided n start and in subsequent reports S torm areas shown north of the Azores on the last may which Haw oir saw before "hopping oil." "This storm assumed the form of in egg extending north of the Azores." said Raynham. That. meant that Hawker would first encounter liortheast winds, the. easterly winds, hvn a strong set of winds trom the south, those from the south being continuous and stronger than the ithers. "These would have blown him north i to the course which the Mary pre sumably followed." Further apparent substantiation of Rayndam's story was found in reports brought here by the British freighter Glendevon which arrived 4last night fro' London after a stormly passage Clifford Nixon, wireless officer of the G lendevon, said that at 1.30 Mon day morning (Greenwich time) he overheard the steamer Sam manger sending to "D. K. A." the Sopwith's iadio designation, her position as 50 degrees, 8 minutes north latitude i'il 30 degrees west longitude. Sabse ouently the Sam manger informed Nixon that it had sighted the red light of a plane to the north. A few hours later the Glendevon was overtaken by a northeast gale, working down from the direction in which the red light, believed to have been that of the Sopwith plane, had (disappeared. Storm That Hit Hawker. This, according to Raynham's the ory, was the storm which Hawker passed before being struck by the violent southerly blow. The Glendevon sent out repeated calls to other ships, broadcasting the reported positions of the Sonwith and requesting that ships stand by to give aid, but received a response only from the c(a'bleship Faraday. Tb" log of the Glendevon shows the development of the weather which lawke" v-ont thro'gh and which Capt. H. W. Sudderby of the Glende von said he stated at the time was ",o tempestuous that no plane could live through it." During the twenty four hours covering IIawker's flight, the weather went from fine, with light westerly winds and a moderate se'. to a full gale with heavy rain in which the Glendevon rolled and strained heavily. Office'rs said that if Hawker had started a (lay earlier he wouihI have met ideal conditions. --0 HAWK Elt'S OWN STOlRY OF T1'lIPF London, M\ay 26.-The D~aily Mail (odav~ PinIts a disnatch fiom Thur'so, Sr'otland, giv ing the s imple' narr'at ive of Hlarry G.

BIG HAUL NEAR AIKEN Ten Whiskey Stills Captured at Brick Yard. Aiken, May 23.-Sheriff Howard, accompanied by U. S. Deputies Smyrl, Fanning, Rector and Coleman,' made a big catch this afternoon in the illicit whiskey line, at Hankinson's Brick Yard, near Augusta on the Hamburg side of the Savannah. The deputies swooped down on the premises with out any warning and; captured 10 stills, 200 gallons of mash also being seized. It appears that the night crew of negro laborers have been in a com bine for some time past in the whis key-making business, and as the fire and smoke of the big brick kiln acted as a sort of camouflage for the "booze" fumes, no one suspected that such a daring business was in opera tion. The officers arrested- nine of the men and they are now in the Aiken jail. This makes the third raid of the officers this week. Yesterday a large still was seized near Hamburg and John Stevens was taken to the lockup charged with moonshining. The stills were too heavy and numerous to move at once so they were placed under guard. Sheriff Howard and the deputies be nve that regular business has been done by the negroes of Hamburg nein'hborhoo! for some time in sly "booze" making and selling. o - Chinese Wireless.
