Belts Cause Appendicitis.
Greenwood Journal.)

Greenwood Journal.)
Rochester, Mimi, April 14.-Ap-
pendicitis has increased from 800 to
400 per cent, because of the in
creased use of belts instead of sus-
penders, according to DR.. W. J.
Mayo, world famous surgeon, who
has been called to wait on the roy
atty of Europe. Minneapolis sur
geons, however, differ from this
statement, alleging that the increase
of appendicitis cannot be attributed
to any cause and that the only posi-
BILE specific cause of appendicitis
could be a heavy blow in the region
of the vermiform appendix. A kick
from a horse would demonstrate
this, they say.

LEO NJ. FRANK
MUST HANG
Unless the Governor of the State of
Georgia Shall Intervene and Par
don Him Or Commute, His Sem
tence. ,r"

By an opinion delivered by the
Supreme Court of the United States
on Monday, Leo Frank loses his last
chance in the courts, and must now
pay the penalty of death for killing
little Mary Phagan, IN the National
Pencil Factory, in Atlanta, two years
ago, the twenty-sixth Of this month,
unless the Governor of Georgia
shall pardon him, or commute his
sentence nothing now stands be-
tween him and execution at the
hands of the law. s1..s ,.
The. decision of the court was
read by Justice Pitney and concur
red in by all the other justices er-
cept Justices Hughes and Holmes.
Mary Phagan was employed at the
National Pencil Factory of which
Frank was superintendent. It was
a Southern holiday. Mary had not
been at the factory on the day be-
fore>to receive her pay envelop; but
she had sent for it by girl friend.
Frank refused to give the envelop
to the friend, making it necessary
for Mary to visit the factory on the
following day to receive her pay.
About twelve o'clock on that day
the sixteen year old girl went up to
Franks Office for her pay. Nothing
more was heard Of her until her life
less body was found in the cellar of
the factory on the following morn
ing by negro employee.
: Frank was arrested on suspicion
a few days later. Since that day
he has been confined in the Fulton
county Jail awaiting the determine
ton of the court upon the question
of his guilt or innocence. "
No means have been spared to
save the life of the accused. Large
sums of money havebeen raised in
his behalf and the best1sgal talent
that the country accords has been
employed in his defense. He was
tried and convicted In the Superior
Court of the State of Georgia, and
his case has been twice before the;
Supreme Court of that State. Ev-
cry known means has been employed
to establish his innocence, but the
verdict of the jury has stood.

The Field Day and Field Day Elk
ercises held in ,Abbeville last Friday
were a success in every way. The
weather was ideal and an unprece-
dented crowd was in town for the
occasion. The older people in town
say they have. never before seen SO
large a crowd on Our streets.
Many of the teachers and the con-
testants for the medals in declama-
ton, came to Abbeville Thursday
afternoon and preliminary contests
were held, both at the High School
and at the Court House Thursday
night. There were eighty contest
ants for the medals. The prelimi-
nary contest narrowed it down to
twenty.
Friday morning the big day began
with the class room; contests at the
Graded School. Many bright and
interested little children, with anx-
ious teachers and parents, were OH

spelling, arithmetic, drawing, ard so
on. When the contests were over

After the contests were over the
big parade, the crowning feature OF
the day, was formed at the Graded
School. Each school carried one or
more banners, and as they came
down the street they made moving
mass of color and youthful inno-
cence and loveliness.
Abbeville's float could not be en-
tered for the prizes, but it led, the
line and was followed by five hun
dred handsome children. The float
was an automobile, beautifully de-
corated in yellow chrysanthemums,
with five pretty girls dressed in
white, in the car, shading their faces
with yellow parasols. Riding in
the car were, Misses Mary Graydon,
Margaret Cox, Ruth Howie, Mildred
Cochran, and Percy Leach, while
Miss Margaret Perrin drove the car.
