REVEREND LOUIS ! BRET0N RESIGNS AS
PASTOR Of THE ABBEV|LLE BAPTIST CHURCH
After Six Years as Faithful Labore Beloved Pastor OF
Baptist Church Here Resigns to Become Supt
of Baptist State Hospital

beville had never been Baptist
stronghold, but the work of Mr.. Bris-
tow has built up large congrega-
ton. The new church at Abbeville
is one CT the most attractive in the
State.
Mr.. Bristow has for years been an
active worker for prohibition and was
a warm friend and admirer of the
late Joel E. Brunson of Sumter, who
for so many years was the prohibi-
ton leader in this State. While
editing a paper at Kingstree, Mr. Bris-
tow was made a colonel, by appoint
ment to a position on the staff of the
late Gov. Miles B. McSweeney.
The Baptist hospital had its incep-
tion at Greenwood in 1912 when the
Rev. Louis J. Bristow introduced a
resolution before the State conven-
ton asking for a committee of seven
ito consider the advisability of es-
tablisning sanitarium by this body"
This committee was appointed and
reported to a meeting Of the con-
vention in Abbeville in 1918, recon-
mending a sanitarium and advising
committee of seven to select a site
and to secure an incorporation. The
hospital board reported to the State
convention at Bennettsville in 1918
that the offer of 100000 in cash had
been accepted from the city of Col
umbia and the hospital would be es-
tablished in Columbia. H.. 3.
The hospital was opened in this
city on September /, 1914, by the
purchase of the Knowlton property.
Previous to the acquisition of the
present infrmary, the hospital board
had purchased the Colonial hotel pro-
perty on Hampton street, this city,
the income from which is devoted to
the hospital on Marion street.

Russia and England are anxious to
brand as unfounded recurrent re-
ports that the Russian people are dis
gruntled at the showing Great Brit
ain and France have made in the
West which might create a situation
unfavorabIe to the continued unity
of the allies.
No hint of separate peace or of
dissatisfaction with England's policy
comes from any authoritative source
and Count Benckendorff made it
plain that, while there may have been
some sentimental popular feeling in
his country for a diversion in the
West to relieve the strain in Russia,
there had been nc criticism emanat-
ing from those who understood the
military situation. ..

American Marine. Landed.

Washington, July 28.-American
marines were landed today at Port
au-Prince, Haiti, to protect the lives
and property of Americans and other
foreigners. Rear Admiral Caperton
advised the navy department late to-
night that he had sent a force ashore
from the cruiser Washington. Rear
Admiral Benson, acting secretary of
the navy, declined to make the mes
sage public but said "Admiral Caper-
ton now has the situation in hand"
This was the first step by the Unit
ed States to re-establish peace in. the
Haitian republic, and the general be-
lief tonight was that the marines
would not be withdrawn until def
mite arrangements were made for
permanent stability. -.... 2.
Admiral Caperton has 400 marines
and bluejackets on board the United
States steamship Washington, which
arrived at Port-au-Prince today, and
the collier Jason, with another 100,
is due tomorrow. Additional forces
are available at Guantanamo.
President Assinated.
The state department received
messages today from Charge DAT
faires telling of the assassination. of
President Guillaume by mob which
broke into the French legation. This
violation Of diplomatic immunity.
which foreign legations enjoy, would
be regarded ordinarily as a serious
affront, but in view of the absence of
an established government and the
generally turbulent conditions the
incident probably will not complicate
the situation.
President Wilson has been consid-
ering the Haitian situation for weeks.
Paul Fuller, Jr., sent to investigate
conditions there recently, returned
with a report showing that it was i'm
possible for him to negotiate a pro-
posed treaty with President Gull
laume because of the latter's fears
that the populace would rise against
him if he signed the pact.
Proposed Treaty Not Made Public.
Terms of the proposed treaty were
not made public, but it is known the
United States attempted to arrange
for administration of the customs in
a way similar to the American con-
troll of customs in the Dominican Re-
public.

state of excellence under new own
ership. 1t was here that Mr.. Bristow
first developed his unusual talent as
manager. But his health was not
of the best, and he retired for awhile
from active work. Later he took the
theological course at the Southern
Baptist seminary at Louisville and
from the moment of his entry into
the ministry he has begun to make
distinct impress with his personality.
Where Idea Was Conceived.
1t was while at Williamson as pas
tor of that staunch old congregation
of lovable and remarkable people that
Mr.. Bristow first conceived the idea
of State sanitarium. 1t was his

own idea and for awhile he worked
upon it alone, but later wrested for
his plan the admiration and endorse
ment of the State Baptist convention
and finally it took shape and form in
q much larger extent than he had at
first contemplated. He was from the
outset importuned to come to Colum-
bia as the active head of the institu-
ton, but he had begun the building
ola beautiful church at Abbeville and
fell obliged to remain there. Abb

YALE COMEDIES ITS
VICTORY TO HARVARD
Points Made by Roos on Track
Protested and They Are Can
celled by Blue.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. May 1.-THE
Yale track management announced last
night that 1t had no desire to be declared
the winner of the annual Harvard track
meet on Saturday through amy mere
technlcality" over the question of the
eligibility of w. +. Roos, the shot-putter.
and accordingly the FIVE points made by
Roos have been declared Cancelled. This
action gives the meet to Harvard, SO to
81 points
The announcement reads as follows:
1T had been the understanding of the
Yale University Track Athletic Assoca-
ton that questions OF eligibility as be-
tween Harvard and Yale in their dual
track games We're to be decided under
the deed of gift covering the competition
for the cup. AS this was construed by
the Yale management Roos was consid-
cred eligible to compete in this years
meet, and therefore entered.
ut appears, however, that Harvard's
understanding is that the provisions of
the deed of Gift respecting eligibility have
been superseded by other eligibility rules
under which Roos would have been in
clared the winner of the meet and there
by secure permanent possession OF the
cup through any mere technicality, and
hereby cancels the points made by Roos
in tho meet"

NEW YORK, May 1.-two players have
been selected for the Eastern States team
which will make the trip to the Pacific
coast They are Richard Norris Williams,
I'd, of Philadelphia, the national cham
pion, and Watson NJ. Washburn. This
was the statement made by Robert D.
Wrenn, president of the national organi-
zation.
He said that 1t was impossible at this
time to Announce who the other two MEM
bers of the team would be.
The committee has been deluged with
requests to have the team stop off at
prominent clubs in the West and South
for exhibition matches. but this would be
impossible, Mr.. Wrenn said. The four
players chosen for the trip to California
will compete in the national clay court
championship at Pittsburgh on June 26,
and after playing through that tourna-
ment to get up speed ano form on hard
courts they will leave for San Francisco.
They will come directly back from San
Francisco with several of the leading CAL
ifornians, so as to compete In the Long

There are several other stars in the

prefer not to announce II until they have
been graduated from college. Manager
Mack, Of the Athletics, has offered con-
tract to Carroll. Fordham's star third

report In June. AS is generally tho case,
several of the very best OF the colegians

slugsing right fielder of the Army, and
Bob Neyland, its star pitcher Hobbs
and Neyland have been voted the two
best all-round ball players that West
Point ever produced, but both will accept
army appointments.
Hobbs was offered Cincinnati con-
tract, and though he has not turned 1t
down yet, 1t Is hardly likely he can be
induced to sign It, Though several other
players have better averages than Hobbs,
whose mark Is $50 for four years, the
