of the largest and most prosperous
churches in South Carolina Presby-
terry.
A comparison of the reports made
to Presbytery in the spring of 1910

ABbEV|[LE WILL
GIVE 172 MEN:
For the First Drawing for the Army
After Taking Credit for 81 Who
Have Enlisted from this County

With all duplicate registration
cards in the governors office and the
Sc local boards in South Carolina
duly organized South Carolina has
been reported ready for the drafting
of this States quota of men for the
great National army. South Carolina
is called to furnish 10,O81 men. Of
fetal notice of the quota to be Sc
lected by each board will be sent to
the chairman today.
One South Carolina county, Union,
will not send man for service under
the selective service act. This county
has already 33 men in the National
Guard and regular army in excess of
it's quota. Unions quota is 274 men
and the county now has 307 men in
service.
The distribution of the States
quota of 10,081 is reached by taking
the gross quota of the State 1921
and deducting the number of men in
the National Guard and enlistments
in the regular army from April 1 to
June 80, 5,040.
Two cities are organized with To-
cal boards, Columbia and Charleston.
Columbia being called on to furnish
100 men and Charleston 304. Rich
land county will send 2O5 and Char
lesion county 240. The city of Char
lesion has two boards, one having
jurisdiction in the lower six wards
and the other in the upper six wards
The first board will furnish 113 men
and the second 191.
Credits of National Guardsmen to
various counties were furnished by
commanders of the South Carolina
units. The enlistments in the regu-
lar army came from the adjutant
general of the United States.

TWO GOOD SPEECHES.

The people of Abbeville, that is
those who took the trouble to 60 out,
heard two as timely and sensible
speeches last Thursday afternoon and
night as have been delivered here in
a long time.
Chief Behrens, of Charleston,
spoke in the afternoon, coming to
Abbeville under the direction of the
Insurance Commissioner of South
Carolina. People generally think
there is not much to fighting fires ex-
cept plenty of water, and consider
able amount of profanity, but the
speech of Chief Behrens showed us
the work of hte fire-fighters from a
different angle.
One of the chief matters of inter-
est which he emphasized was the
fact that from sixty to seventy per
cent. of the fires in this country are
due to carelessness, and could be
prevented by proper care. He also
spoke in favor of the fre-inspection
law, aimed at preventing fires caus-
ed from the want of ordinary care.
In the evening, DR.. j. A. Hayne,
of Columbia, spoke in the interest
of the Red Cross. DR.. Hayne was
here on the invitation of Mrs. c. c.
Gambrell, who is interested in form
ing a chapter of the Red Cross So
ciety in Abbeville. DR.. Hayne is an
easy and an interesting speaker. He
explained the workings of the Red
Cross, and the rules governing mem
bership, etc. In addition to this he
spoke at some length on just what
the Red Gross has done, is doing,
end will do in France for the Ameri-
can armies, explaining how the
agents of the society coordinate
With the medical corps of the army
itself. His remarks were greatly
enjoyed.

THE SONG SERVICE.

The song service at the Baptist
church last Sunday night was most
pleasant affair and was enjoyed by
the many who attended. A program
had been arranged and a short talk
was made on each song as it was rem
dered. The choir rendered the
songs we'll, the sweet voices of Miss
Fannie Stark, Miss Elizabeth Ed
munds, Misses Ruth and Victoria
Howie, Mrs. Swope and Mrs. E. C.
Horton going to make up a pleasant
evening.
Four new members, were added to
the church, the ordinance of bap-
tism being given. This brings the
number up to one hundred and eigh-
teen who have been added to the
church in the past year.

DRAFT PROBABLY
COMES SUNDAY
Fifteen States Have Not Reported
Completion of Their Exemption
Boards, Which Delays Selection

Washington, July 16.-On the bas-
is of advices today from various
States where the organization work
of the exemption boards has not been
completed, war department officials
said the drawing for the army selec-
tive conscription hardly could be
held before Saturday, at the earliest.
Fifteen States have not reported
the completion of their exemption
board organization, Numerous dis
tricts in all of these States have fin
ished, however, so it is impossible to
tell just when the final report is to be
expected.
The process followed by the boards
is to file two copies of their complet-
ed and numbered lists of registrants
as soon as the serial numbers have
been arranged. One copy is mailed to
the provost marshal general in Wash
ington and the other to the governor
of the State. Less than a thousand
of the 1859 districts are still to be
heard from in Washington and prob
ably a few hundred, almost, have not
reported as yet to the governors.
In California for instance, the
governor would receive his copy
from any exemption board four or
five days before the mail would bring
a copy to the provost marshal gener-
al. The governor would report to
the provost marshal general only
when every district in his State has
been heard from.

A BIG LAWSUIT.

There was a big lawsuit in the
Court House on Monday, presided
over by Circuit Judge Frank B.
Gary. The fight was over the custody
of two children of Mr.. Mccullough,
now in the custody of their grand
mother, Mrs. Broadwell. The mo-
ther of the children is dead, and for
sometime they have been with the
grandmother, while the father has
been demanding that they return to
him. After hearing the evidence
Judge Gary awarded their custody
to the grandmother. Col. Sam Adams
represented the petitioner, and Hon.
]. Howard Moore, Mrs. Broadwell.

A Suggestion.

A bill relating 10 corrupt practices
has passed the National House. 1t
provides that in political campaigns
newspap ers and periodicals shall pub
Hsh no communication on political sub
jccts without the real name Of the
writer attached thereto. But the pro-
vision does not attach to officers, ed
itors or employees.
We are led to wonder Of the Con-
gres-Inen who voted for this measure
considered the secret ballot. News
papers respect the confidence Of many
writers who offer valuable facts and
Information II they can be unknown to
TO tho public. Many Of these writers
would invite vicious reprisals if they
were known. interruptions employers
interested in politics have been known
to cut of the bread winners wage 70"
telling truths OF public benefit. Con-
gress vould better Let the press run its
own bushes.
