BELGIUM TRAGEDY
NOT APPRECIATED

London, Sept. 24.-The lord mayor
of London appealed to the British
reon'e to aid the starving people in
Belginm, of whom he says a million
ana nalf are utterly destitute.
eve are not yet half awa.:e to the
tragedy of Belgium" says the appeal.
Even Mr.. Hoover's wonderfully eff
a:ent neutral committee cannot feed
one and half million destitute peo-
PIE on less than five pence per head
rer day, which amounts to no less a
sum than 218,57O pounds (s1,092,-
S5O) a week."
The lord mayor then announced
The formation of strong committee
including Viscount Bryce.
'"There is no doubht if food is not
sent" the lord mayor added, 'the
Germans will allow the Belgiams to
starve or will shoot them down if
funger riots occur"

RED PEPPER BURNS.

Early in the Spring packages of
Pimento seeds were distributed to
the Girls Canning Clubs by the gov
ernment, at Washington, and the
young girls were especially energetic
in trying to raise this dainty, hoping
that they would have many cans put
up for making sandwiches in the win
ter. The plants were tended with
special care, but alas, for the hopes
Of the young girls, the Pimentos
turned out to be plain red pepper.
They are hot peppers too, we would
hate to say how hot they really are.
Many of the canning club girls in
Abbeville have put up the Belle pep
pers after the pimento method and
have been very successful.

managed, the state of the farmers
reminded us of the fortune the for
tune teller told General Femphill
years ago, which was that "he don't
care how little work there is before
breakfast, so there is none after
breakfast" But the people live
happily, enjoy all that there is to be
enjoyed, are prosperous and well
taken care of in their homes, which,
after all is the whole fight; hut this
doesn't do in swift city like Abbe-
vile.
In that section, they have two
good schools within six miles of each
other. One has four teachers, and
the other three. The school build
ines are fine and the work is done on
the system of the Graded Schools.
The Greenbrier school is in little
settlement something like Aatreville,
and the pupils all live near enough W
walk. The Bethel school, which IS
the other one, is a country school,
and the children for several miles
ar.und, are carried to and from the
school by teams employed fer that
purpose. We were impressed with
the fact that these people are ahead
of us in the matter of rural schools.
We drove over Sunday afternoon

! e;ed on the train that day. and ar
rived in Abbeville at $40, when the
only unpleasant part of the visit oc-
cured we had to tell about it, and
be cross-questioned over the whole
business from start to finish by all
interested parties.

Ned is a good farmer, but he says

leading business man of the town,
who is the president of the institu-

Us over the building, which is one of
the best in the whole denomination.
DR.. Johnson is fine preacher, and is
greatly beloved by his own congrega-

While we were talking to him, we

whom we had 'hearn tell' as Sam
Nichols would put it. Mr.. Davis has
about finished picking large crop of
cotton, things look entirely ''laid by" "

soon, and when he comes he will
probably do some loud talking.

A TRIP TO WINNSBCRO.

Last Friday night, in company
with our son, Bill, we left home for a
trip to Winnsboro, and for visit to
our sister, Mrs. Eugene Stewart, who
lives in Fairfield County. We got
to Chester, at 1O:45, and went to the
hotel. We spent a pleasant night,
and after eating a good breakfast,
VIC left on the Sis Southern for

We saw a lot of Seceder looking

Chester to Winnsboro, especially in

LITTLE ROCK AND ARGENTA
 ARE STILL IN DRY COLUMN

Little Rock is still dry as a ship that has been long in an attic, with indications that it will remain that way for sometime. The same may be said of Argenta, but the saloon- ists there will be in no rush for li- censes this year, trying out their cases in circuit court before they open and in this way prevent the loss of license money should the appeal be decided against them. The Little Rock petition is yet short of the re- quired number, but the saloon men are busy and expect to be able to open by Feb. 1 or soon after. The ten dency in most Arkansas towns where liquor is to be sold, is now to reduce the number of saloons. This is being done by agreement among the saloon ists. It is reported that Fort Smith will in this manner reduce from 41 to 25 saloons if license is granted.
