This Week.

There will be three meetings
this week in the interest Of the
Anti Hog Cholera Clubs. One
at Merwin Thursday night. Nov.
Is, 8 O'Clock for club six; club
nineteen at Hudson Friday night,
Nov. 10Th; and club four at AL
tona Saturday night, Nov. 20. 1t
is to be urged that the members
Of the respective clubs will come
out to these meetings and bring
as many of your friends as posi-
BILE. am anxious to get the true
sentiment toward the work at
these different county gail lgs.
If you don't come shall take it
that you are not interested in the
work and of course it is needless
to say that little good can be ac-
complished with this kind of sup
port. ] shall try to make the
meetings short and to the point
50 that everyone can surely spare
u little time to attend.
The cholera situation is grow
ing better at this time. Few hogs
have been vaccinated by me in
the last ten days. There is still
plenty of infection on many
farms and this is the time to
wage war on these infected cen
ters. If this is not done now
then there will be plenty of dis
ease awaiting next springs crop
of pigs. You will be busy then
with other farm operations and
nothing can be done at that time.
| have held few meetings in
the county that have been fairly
well attended. These men seem
to want the State work to con-
tinue, this will further depend
upon you being out to your club
meeting. l have purchased car
and can give you better service
than before. That is you have no
transportation to pay if the roads
are in shape for me to come. You
can get in communication with
me by calling Mr.. j. f. Smith of
the Mo. State Bank.

Senator Stone for a Bigger Navy

Washington, Nov. 12.-"I go
further than most advocates Of
national preparedness, who say
the nation should be equipped
to defend itself against attack. I
want this country prepared to
take up the offensive when it may
be necessary" declared Senator
Stone, Democrat Of Missouri,
chairman of the Foreign Rela-
lions Committee, who returned to
tile capital today for the Sixty
.eurth Congress.
II speak particularly for the
navy" the Senator continued. II
want a navy powerful enough not
only to defend our coasts, but
strong enough to go out on the
high seas, for there might come
a. time when offensive action
would be required. A navy
strong enough for offense is a
mighty guarantee against attack
by other. nations. "
The enlargement Of the navy
and the rebuilding Of the Ameri-
can merchant marine should be
coupled together and considered
and acted upon jointly by Con-
gress, according to the views OF
Senator Stone.
Commenting upon the reason
why the navy and the merchant
marine should grow together, he
said there would always be dan
ger of the sea coast centers of the
United States being attacked by
ships of foreign countries, and
efforts should be made to make
such attacks as nearly impossible
as possible.

GOOD FIGHTERS.

doctor finds that the men from the
towns and cities can stand the
greatest strain, the affections of the

other interesting things are, found as
the result of this examination.
Along about the time of the Span

from South Carolina into the war

ever had to command another set Of
soldiers he would like to have a
crowd of boys from around town

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

It is about time for the papers to
open up on their annual advice to
the women to "shop early" for
Christmas. This is good enough
advice as far as it goes and it gives
the paragraphers something, funny
to write about. We would like to
saw a word to the merchants about
getting something in stock for the
women to buy. Get up your list OF
Christmas suggestions. display such
goods as YOU have suitable for the
making of Christmas presents and
advertise chem in the Press and Ben
ner. 1t is really the rush and
hurry of Christmas that makes it at
tractive and it is the style to give
away lot of things that one wants
themselves and get lot of things
that one does not want.
1t would be a strange Christmas
in Abbeville if the drug stores would
display something else as an attrac-
tive present besides the time honor.

SOME FACTS AS TO ABBEVILLE
GREENWOOD MUTUAL IN
SURANCE COMPANY.

AS a director of the Abbeville-
Greenwood Mutual Insurance Com
pany, I have been asked quite fre-
quently the cause of the increased
assessment this year. AS have had
occasion to audit the books of the
company as one of a special COM
mittee, and am familiar with its fl
nancial condition, a statement Of
facts touching the company's finan-
cial condition may be of public in
terest.
The company is as strong today
as it has been at any time in the
twenty-five years of its existence;
and during this time, it has never
failed to pay all just claims prompt
ly when due.
For several years the losses in one
or two townships have been heavy,
out of all proportion to the averaged
losses in the rest of the two coun-
ties. This being the case for two
or three years consecutively, the d.
rectors thought it wise to order a
revaluation in those townships. This
cost the company several hundred
dollars, but it was money well spent
as much undesirable property was
thereby taken off the books. Then
the present year is the year for re-
valuation of all policies, which was
done with instructions that all un-
desirable property be cut out. AS
a result the assessable property Of
the company was reduced something
like a quarter of million dollars,
but the property left on the books Is
more desirable. In word, the
company incurred extra expenses
amounting to something more than
thousand dollars in revaluing its
property and recording it's policies in
the Clerk of Courts Office, thereby
adding to the strength and security
of the company but at the same time
it has lowered the property levied
on. which temporarily increased the
rate.
The company still has approx
mately two million dollars of insur-
ance on its books and it is believed
that with the precautions taken, the
levy will be reduced to (6) six mills
in the future. .g
While the Abbeville- Greenwood
Mutual performs a necessary and in
dispensable service to the rural resi-
dent, that old line companies can
not or will not perform at as low q
rate, it is not for this reason that
the people are asked to support it.
The fact is it is. abundantly able TO
take care of the public interest in
the county at lower rate than any
other company, and it invites the
strictest investigation of the facts
to determine whether or not this
statement is true. ..1

at points in southern Georgia and
Alabama. u II
Superintendent R. J. Harlan, who
is at the scene of the wreck, report
ed late tonight that the death list
probably would be between nine and

on the claims of Con T. Kennedy,
owner of the shows.
Mr.. Harlan also officially fixed
the blame for the disaster on the
crew of the passenger train.
"The crew disobeyed ORDERS" said
Mr.. Harlan. "They had orders to
stop at Muscogee and wait for the
show train"

pital at late hour that none of. the
injured there were expected to die
during the night.
Some Of the trainmen are to be

cleared for several hours.
Besides the engineer and conduc-
tor of the passenger train there were

The only other passenger reported
hurt was DR.. W. Marshall of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, who has a broken wrist.
Con T. Kennedy, proprietor of the
show stated tonight that by the num-
Der of people reported missing by
the different managers he believed
the death list would exceed "a.
eve will have all these managers
checked up by morning" said Ken
nedy, "and not until then will we
know the number of dead. Several
men perished in the fire, am GER

TALKING ABOUT THE WAR.

If you wish to hear some lively
talk just step into the Candy Kitch-
en-, run by Steve Parthemos and his
brother, Jim, and throw out a HARM
less remark about what the Turks
are going to do with the Greeks, if
they go into the war on the side of
the Allies. According to jim,
Greece is going to decide the war.
He says that when Greece goes in
the Turks are going to just give up
the Dardenelles and take to their
heels and then the Greeks are going
to do wonderful things to "Them
Jarmany." He can tell all the past
history of the Greeks and what they
have accomplished in wars of the
past but when asked what he is
going to do about going home and
helping along with the fight he says
he is going ''to stay here and read
the newspapers"
