On last Thursday, 10th, inst. death
claimed James F. Bradley, County
Treasurer of Abbeville County. Mr..
Bradley was in his forty-ffth year
and until a week before his death
was one of the men who was never
thought of in connection with i'll
health. He was robust, strong and
his good nature made one think of
him as an example of a man who
enjoys all the blessings of good
health. But he was attacked with
appendicitis on Thursday a week be-
fore he died. He suffered a re-
currence of the attack on the follow
ing day and was hurried to DR..
Pryor's Hospital in Chester, where
he was operated on Saturday. For
few days he got along nicely and
his friends began to look forward to
his homecoming in few days.
On Wednesday afternoon the news
came that he was not doing well, and
that night the news was less favor
able. He continued to grow worse
until Thursday afternoon, and passed
away at $3.50. His mother and his
brother, w. w. Bradley, were with
him at the time of his death. His
wife, who was left ill at home, did
not reach his bedside until few
minutes after the end came.
James Foster Bradley was the Sc
cond son of John Edward Bradley
and his wife, Sarah Wideman Brad
lev. He was reared at the old Brad
ley home in the Long Cane settle
ment. In early life he Joined old
Long Cane GA. R. P.) church, the
church of his fathers. He was edu-
Gated in the country schools of that
section and attended Erskine Col
lege for year. Deciding to enter
business he came to Abbeville and
clerked for Aug. w. Smith for a
time. He then went to Wilmington
and was in busienss short while,
but sold out his interests there and
became a travelling salesman until
about six OF eight years ago. He
was then elected as County Treasurer
of this county, which office he has
filled from that time most acceptably.
He was a careful and painstaking
officer, but at all times affable and
attentive to those with whom he had
business dealings.
In early life he married Miss Lily
Vincent. She with five children
survive the husband and father. The
children are Mrs. Henry Pressly, of
Clinton, Miss Margaret Bradley,
James, Renwick, and VIM. T Bradley.

STUDY Of TARIFF
BY COMMISSION
BILL TO BE INTRODUCED IN
CONCRESS-APPROVED BY
WILSON.

Washington. Jan. 23.-Creation of
tariff Commission, it was learned
from official sources tonight. has been
determined upon by the Wilson ad-
ministration. A bill providing for
such a commission will be introduced
in congress in the near future and
President Wilson may discuss the
subject ir a message to congress.
The duties of the proposed commits
sion, under the plan said to have
been agreed upon, would be to collect
information regarding the tariff and
to coordinate similar powers now be-
1ieved by President Wilson to be held
by existing government bodies.
Aside from his belief that the tar
iff ALWAYS should be treated in scien-
tifc fashion, the president has given
consideration to the situation which
will follow the European war and has
been urged by many of his advisers
that legislation will be necessary to
safeguard Americas commercial in
dustrial interests when that time
comes. In his last message to con-
gress he said:
"Many conditions about which we
have repeatedly legislated are being
altered from decade to decade, &.
and are likely to change even more
rapidly and more radically in the
days Immediately ahead of us when
peace has returned to the world. :.
Just what these changes will be no
one can certainly forecast or conf
IDENTIFY predict. The most we can
20 is to make certain that we have
the necessary instrumentalities of in
formation constantly at our service,
so that we may be sure that we know
exactly what we are dealing with
when we come to act. if it should be
necessary to act at ALL"

LONDON CHRONICLE IN
DEFENSE OF PRESIDENT

London, Jan. 21.-The Daily Chron-
icle devotes the most prominent posi-
ton on it's editorial page today to a
defense of President Wilson and his
foreign policy. The Chronicle de-
clares that Mr.. Wilson occupies po-
sition of exceptional difficulty, add
ing that eff the British press and pub
lie took little more trouble to un-
derstand him, and were more con-
scious of the absurdity of lecturing a
great republic on what its president
ought to do, it would be much to the
advantage of the Anglo-American
future"

toned in the Brushaber case, but
