NO BAKING POWDER MORE
WHOLESOME THAN ALUM
POWDER

Washington, d. g. - Alum baking
powders are no more harmful to per-
son than any other baking powders.
Such is the conclusion OF the referee
board of consulting scientific experts of
the department Of agriculture as the re-
suit of experiments to determine the in
f1uence OF aluminium compounds on the
nutrition and health of man. The re-
port gives the results of three sets Of ex-
tensive experiments on human subjects
conducted independently by members Of
the board and was 10 response to ques-
tons put to it by the department Of
agriculture. The boards report was
unanimous and was signed by Ira Rem
sep, president of Johns Hopkins uni
versity, Chairman; Russell Il. Crtten
don, professor OF physiological chemistry
in Yale university and director of the
Sheffield Scientific school; John a..
Long, professor of chemistry in North
western university; Alonzo h. Taylor,
professor of physiological chemistry in
the University of PENNSYLVANIA, and Theo-
bald Smith. professor of comparative
pathology in Harvard.
This important decision makes it ap-
parent that it is unnecessary to pay an
exorbitant trust price to get pure and
wholesome baking powder. The best
baking powder in the world-which has
been proven best by test and which is
pure in the can and pure in the baking
can be purchased for the moderate price
| of 21 cents per pound

AbBEV|LLE READY
FOR CHAUTAUQUA
THREE DAYS OF HIGH CLASS
ENTERTAINMENT BEGIN
MING FRIDAY, JULY 16.

Abbeville is to have Chautauqua
soon, the business men of the city
having signed contract with the
Radcliffe Bureau.
The Chautauqua will begin Friday,
July 10th, and continue through
Monday, the 10Th. The people Of
Abbeville have guaranteed the ne
cessary amount to secure the attrac-
tions. There will be two attract
tions a day and season tickets will be
sold good for the six attractions to
adults for $3.50, to children 81. Ad-
mission to each single attraction will
be so cents. 1t is proposed to make
the first day, Friday, agricultural day
and Mr.. J. E. Cheatham, County De-
monstrator, is endeavoring to secure
a we'll known authority on agrlcul-
tural subjects to come here and
make the principal address of the
day.
The Chautauqua will be held un-
der a tent on the depot lot, and there
will be the very best music, good
speakers, humorists and entertainers
of various kinds. These Chautau-
quas have proven wonderfully sue
cessful in all the nearby towns and
at their close sufficient tickets were
sold to assure the return next year.
The people of Abbeville are fortu-
nate in securing the attractions, and
it is hoped they will be largely at
tended.

PRESIDENT HEARS Of
EUROPE'S ATTITUDE
SPENDS DAY WITH FRIEND WHO
MADE TOUR OF ENGLAND,
FRANCE AND GERMANY

New York, June 28.-President
Wilson, en- route from Washington to
his summer home at Cornish, N. H.,
spent Thursday at the home of his
intimate friend, Col. E. M. House, at
Roslyn, L. l., receiving, first hand,
Col. Houses impressions of the war
situation in Europe as it effects the
United States.
Col. House, ten days home from a
four months trip that carried him to
London, Paris and Berlin, greeted the
president at the Roslyn station, and
took him Immediately to his country
estate, where they were to spend the
day, free from interruption by visi-
tors.
The president and Col. House sat
for while in the shade of the broad
veranda, apparently in earnest con:
versation. Then they went for a
stroll, unattended, over the estate,
The president asked many questions
and listened in silence for long peri
DDS to Col. Houses replies. No
part of their conversation was di-
vulged, but it generally was known
to members of the presidents party
that the attitude of foreign govern.
ments toward the United States, how
the masses of the warning nations re.
gard the struggle, and peace pros,
poets, was discussed.
What Col. House told the president
was gained from a trip that started
January 80 when he sailed from New
York and ended with his return here
June ID. He visited Foreign Minis.
ter Grey at London, and in Paris was
reported to have delivered a letter
from President Wilson to President
Poincare. At Berlin he called or
the German imperial chancellor vor
Bethmann-Hollweg. During his triI
abroad it was reported several tones
that he was acting as President Viii
sons personal emissary, but that wa:
denied both by the president anc
Col. House.
1t was recalled in connection with
the presidents visit today that he hac
conferred with Col. House before thu
Mexican crisis of 1914, and that th'

GERMANY LEARNS
AMERICAS STAND
GERHARD TELLS GERMAN OF.
FICIALS THAT AMERICAN
PEOPLE ARE MUCH
MOVED.

Berlin, June 27.- 1t is learned
that DR.. Anton Meyer-Gerhard's re-
port to the officials charged with
drafting the German answer to the
American note indicated the serious
nature of the situation.
DR.. Meyer Gerhard was sent to
Berlin by the German ambassador at
Washington to indicate to the Ger
man government the real attitude of
the American government and peo-
pie. He reported that the sentiment
in the United States had been some
what more favorable from the Ger
man viewpoint and particularly more
favorable regarding the prohibition
of the export of munitions to the al
lies. The sinking of the Lusitania,
however, undid all this.
The state of feeling in the United
States at the present time, he ex-
planned, was such that it would not
be satisfied with unnecessary delay
in the answer nor with an answer
which appeared to be evasive or
failed to meet the issue squarely.

senger traffic, an adherence to the
principles expressed in the American
note-that non-combatants should be
immune from attack-would seem, in
the opinion of officials here, to be
recognized.
No information has been received
on what the attitude of Germany will
be toward assuming liability for loss
of American lives on the Lusitania,
but the feeling prevails that If salts
factory arrangement can be made as
to the future Germany will suggest
basis for favorable adjustment of
the Lusitania case as well.

FOUND LIQUOR
N A TRUNK
ABBEVILLE OFFICER CAUGHT A
NEGRO WOMAN WITH THE
GOODS AT LORENZO

Alertness of Chief Johnson and
Officer Bolts, of Abbeville is respon-
sible for the seizure Sunday after
noon of 10 gallons of corn liquor at
Lorenzo, a flag station on the Sea-
board a short distance west of Salak
and the arrest of Lula Jones, a negro
woman who claims Atlanta as her
home. The whiskey was shipped to
Lorenzo from Atlanta in an inno-
cent-enough looking trunk packed
with bed clothing, the check being
held by the Jones woman who was a
passenger on the afternoon train.
Officer Bolts was waiting at the sta
ton when the train arrived and lost
no time in placing the woman under
arrest. He then phoned Sheriff
Mcmillan who sent out the county's
automobile and brought in the cap
tured. Lula Jones js in jail and
the liquor is a part of the county's
contraband stock.
Weston Richey, an Abbeville ne
gro, half brother of the Jones wo-
man, is responsible for her predica-
ment. Several days ago Officer Bolts
discovered an empty trunk at the
Abbeville station checked to Atlanta.
When the train arrived he noticed
Richey board it, and this was clue
enough that the negro was "up to-
some liquor trick. Day after day
every train from Atlanta was watch
ed, but no such trunk as the empty
one was found until Sunday, when
the check mark showed Lorenzo as
its destination. The officer follow
ed it there and made the arrest.
The shipment consisted of two
five gallon kegs of Chattanooga
corn whiskey.-Greenwood Journal.

TROUBLED STATE
IN MEXICO CITY
SAY SITUATION is
CRITICAL
Carranza Expected to Send Provi-
sion. With Army-Expects Sup
plies From Red Gross.

Washington, June 28.-Oficial dis
patches sent by The British charge
d'affaires at Mexico City by courier
to Vera Cruz and from there cabled
to the state department today pic
tured the conditions in the Mexican
capital as extremely critical.
The Zapatistas holding the city
with about $4,000 men were reported
by the courier to have repulsed last
Wednesday an attacking Carranza
army under Gen. Gonzales while Gen.
Carranza was dispatching all avail
able men 20 reinforce Gonzales and
continue the assault. An announce
ment tonight by the state department
said:
"Conditions in Mexico City are not
reassuring, according to reports. Com
munication is still interrupted and
Gen. Carranza is rushing all available
men to reinforce his troops in the
vicinity of Mexico City. 1t is said to
be the intention of Gen. Carranza to
send in provisions with this army al
though there is nothing definite in
regard to this report.
"The food shortage is causing con-
Germ. The department is in receipt
of advices dated June 26 from Vera
Cruz stating that transportation for
the Red Cross representative, Mr.
O'Conner, and Consul Gen. Shanklin
has been arranged with the head
quarters of Gen. Gonzales. Consul
Gen. Shanklin and Mr.. O'Conner ex.
pect to leave on the morning of June
20 and will take with them the hospi-
tai supplies furnished by the Red
Cross"
Thousands of persons in Mexico
City are depending on the supplies OF
the international relief committees
which itself faces a food shortage
Fears are entertained in the city that
aside from the famine the reinforce
ments sent to Gen. Gonzales will
cause him to carry the fighting in
to the capital, endangering the lives
of foreigners and their property
State department officials have
transmitted details to President Viii.
son at Cornish, N. H. Officials are
depending on the diplomatic corps to
remove foreigners from the danger
zones or arrange a truce for their ex.
odus if the fighting is carried into
the city.
The situation on the west coast Of
Mexico is improving.
Another denial from Gen. Carranzs
that people are dying from hunger in
Mexico was made public tonight by
the Carranza agency.
The message said that while fooc
shortage at some points was admitted
there was no serious distress in any
part of 81 States declared to be un

DEATH Of ROBERT
CALVIN BR0WNLEE
WELL KNOWN BUSINESS MAN
OF DUE WEST PASSED AWAY
4 LAST WEDNESDAY
Heart Trouble Was
Cause of Death
Successful Career Brought to Close
Was Successful Business Man in
that Section for Many Years.

slr. Robert Calvin Brownlee, OF
Due West, died on June 23rd at his
home at Due West, from some aff1ic-
ton of the heart. The deceased
had been sick for more than six
weeks and the end was not uneX-
pected. He was fifty-seven years
of age at the time of his death.
Mr.. Brownleee was one of the best
known and most successful business
men of the county, and perhaps the
wealthiest. He was a self-made
man. His father was killed in the
war, and young Brownlee, on reach
ing his majority, commenced life as
a clerk in one of the stores in Green
Vile. Many years ago he commen-
ced business at Due West where he
and his cousin, j. D. Brownlee soon
built up a successful business. Al
ter the death of Mr.. J. D. Brownlee,
the business was continued by the
surviving partner, and it continued
Mo succeed. Mr.. Brownlee dealt
with a large number of people of the
county, perhaps with more than any
other one man in the county; but
we have never heard one man say
that he did not get fair deal with
him.
Mr.. Brownlee found time to look
after the public as well as his private
affairs. For twenty-five years or
longer, he was the Treasurer of the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian
Church at Due West. He was the
Chairman of the Board of Trustees
of the Woman's College, and inter
ested in the other educational insti-
tutions of the town.
He was director in the Bank OF
Due West, in the Due West Railway
and financially interested in nearly
all the cotton mills of the up-country
He held the office of Trustee in Bank
ruptcy in a case in this county, and
enjoyed the distinction of being the
only man in this position who ever
paid creditors hundred cents on the
dollar. He did this and more, he
paid all the expenses of the litiga'
ton, and turned over to the bank
rupt something more than two thous
and dollars. This illustrated the
man. He had the business sagacity
he had the energy and good judg
ment which command success.
Mr.. Brownlee is survived by nj:
wife, Mrs. Fannie Bonner Brownlee
a daughter of DR.. J. l. Bonner, thu
founder and first president of th'
Female College at Due West, and b!

Wheat Prospects Bad.

Prospects for a good wheat
crop in Pennsylvania this year
are not good according to a sum-
mary of reports just issued by
the State Bureau of Agricultural
Statistics. The crop is said to be
twelve per cent. below the aver
age for the last ten years.
March weather was unfavor-
able for wheat because of the
freezing at night and the thaws
during the day. The crop last
year aggregated "a, ,272, 0'bush-
els and a much smaller one is to
be expected this year.
The reports on rye are more
favorable and the condition Of
corn in the crib is reported up to
par. Fruit prospects are said to
be fair.
