KAISER AND CHANCELLOR
DENOUNCED BY SKABELOFF
AT A RUSSIAN MEETING

London, April 2.-The German
emperor and Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg were bitterly denoun-
ced by Deputy shakeloff, vice presi-
dent of the council of workmen, SOL
diers and delegates, during demon
stration in front of the duma build
ing, according to Pterograd dis
patch to Reuter-. Deputy Skabeloff
addressing the thousands of soldiers
and civilians who took part in the
demonstration said:
"To the hypocritical greeting sent
the Russian revolutionists by Will
helm and Bethmann we can only re-
ply with the bayonet. We cannot
shake hands with the German people
until they have rid themselves of the
cursed Hohenzollern and Bethmann.'

A BOLD BAD MAN.

Col. o. NJ. Marston, a bad man
from Baltimore, who on former oc-
casion corrupted the faculty of the
Greenville Street Setback College,
or a major portion thereof, blew in
to town Saturday afternoon un-
heralded, but not unsung (after he
got here.) He was to have given a
supper at the Eureka Saturday night
to several of his friends, but the in
gradients which put the "sup" in
supper not having arrived, he con-
tented himself with ice water at the
hospitable board Of President Kerr
of the above-named institution.
After supper he conscripted Col.
J. Submarine Stark and played in a
game of setback against President
Kerr of the Grenville Street college,
and Col. W. W. Bradley, professor of
the Unknown Tongue in Setback,
in which he completely routed the
faculty members stated. He left
Sunday evening after having attend
ed services at the Presbyterian
church with Mrs. Kerr in the morn
ing. We shall not soon see his like
again.

BUYS FATHERS RESIDENCE,

Mr.. A. M. Smith, on Monday, pur-
chased from the heirs at law of the
late W. Joel Smith, the handsome
residence on Main street, where his
father lived for many years. The
price paid was around twelve thou
sand dollars.
The house is one of the handsom-
est in Abbeville. It was built many
years ago when there was plenty of
building material in the country and
nothing but the best was used. About
ten years ago the house was re-
modelled under the direction of Mr..
w. Joel Smith and made modern in
all its appointments. The friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith will be glad
to hear that they are to move shortly
into their new home.

ZIMMERMAN KEPT
: BUSY EXPLAINING
Believed Uncle Sam Was in Pos.
session of Code Note Which
Was Cabled in.

Copenhagen, via London, April 1.
The German-Mexican alliance in
cident, it is evident from reports
brought by persons recently arriving
from Germany and from press re-
ports of the Reichseag sessions, con-
tinues to provide unpleasant mo-
ments for DR.. Alfred Zimmerman,
secretary for foreign affairs. His
defense of his action behind the
closed doors Of the Reichstag COM
mittee and in the open House has
not availed to check either public or
private criticism of the act itself
and, still more, the greater crime of
being found out.
DR.. Zimmermann's latest explana-
nation in the Reichstag on Friday
is dismissed by the Tageblatt as
avoiding the real crux of the matter,
namely, the wisdom Of the step as a
matter of policy, Formal justifica-
ton for the proposal is unquestioned,
but, as the Tageblatt points out, the
vital point is the effect that over
lures might be expected to have on
Mexico, Japan and opinion in the
United States, particularly in the
Western and Southern States.

ORE WORTH $4,000
PER TON DISCOVERED
IN OLD DORM MINE

The Sullivan Mining company,
which has, the old Dorm mine at Nc
Cormick leased for operation, has
discovered a,vein which shows, &C.
cordins to a recent analysis, ore
worth fifteen to twenty = thousand
dollars per ton. The old Dorm mine
was operated many years ago by W.
B. Dorm and he:took something more
than: million dollars in gold from
the mine. Many unsuccessful at
tempts have been made to operate
the mine since but it would seem
that the Sullivan Mining company
has struck the vein again. -
The vein Is supposed to be a con-
tinuation Of the vein on the lands OF
head miner, W. w. Bradley of Alb
beville.

Observation-Disclosures

Washington, April 2-Pres-
ident Wilson tonight asked
congress to declare a state Of
war existing between the Un-
tied States and Germany.
While the news of the torpe-
doing Of the steamer Aztec
the fist American armed ship
to sail in the war zone-was
being told from mouth to
mouth in the capitol, the presi-
dent, appearing before the
house and senate in joint reso-
luton, asked congress to re-
cognize and deal with Ger
many's warfare on America.
The president said war with
Germany would involve the
practical cooperation with the
governments now at war with
Germany including liberal f.
nacial credits. He urged the
raising of an army of at least
half a million men, with SINH
lar increments to follow as
fast as they can be trained, on
the principle of universal IL
ability to military service"
The president made it clear
that no action was being taken
against Austria, Bulgaria or
Turkey, and that it was
against the Prussian autocra-
cy, which has conclusively de-
monstrated that it can not live
at peace with the United
States and not against the
German people, that no action
was necessary.
Guarded by Cavarly.
The president reached the
capitol about $40 O'Clock. AS
his big motor swung arounu
before the east front the two
troops of cavalry on guard,
ssabres glittering under. the arc
lights swept the plaza clear
while the hundreds cheered.
He was taken Immediately
to the speakers room and
then into the waiting house
chamber, as the senators en-
tered just before the presi,
dent. The six members OF the
supreme court who had taken
seats in front Of the speakers 8
stand stood and faced about;
They remained standing until
the last senator had entered.

CHAMP CLARK AGAIN
CHOSEN AS SPEAKER
Would Authorize President to Exert
Every Effort to Bring Conflict
to Successful Termination.

Washington, April 2.-Speaker
Clark was reelected today by a vote
of 217 to 205, over his Republican
opponent, Representative Mann, as
the first step in organization of the
house of representatives-the neces-
sary preliminary to the delivery of
President Wilson's "war" address.
Democrats presented slate of Of
ficers and the Republicans offered a
substitute list, with the exception
of Chaplain Couden. That meant
four roll calls of about forty minutes
each. The organization, therefore,
was not completed until late today.
South Trimble, Democrat, was
elected as clerk of the house by a
vote of 217 to 211.
All this time, Mann refused to
permit grouped voting on the other
officers, so roll calls proceeded. =
: r. D. Gordon was reelected SER
geant-at-arms with 219 votes as
against 2O2 for John G. Rogers, Re-
publican.
Joseph Sinnot, Democrat, was re-
elected doorkeeper with ZIG votes.
Bert Kennedy, Republican, received
|211 votes.
William M. Dunbar was reelected
POSTMASTER. On motion of Repre-
sentative Garrett, of Tennessee, the
elections were made unanimous.
Reverend Henry N. Condor was
named chaplain by acclamation. =
That Mr.. Wilson would ask cong
ress to declare that a state of war
exists bytween the United States
and Germany seemed so certain that
Chairman Flood of the house foreign
affairs committee, the administration
spokesman there, prepared a reso-
luton to declare a state Of war and
authorize the presidnt to act.
Th resolution follows:
Whereas, the recent course Of the
imperial German government is in
fact nothing less than war against
the government and people Of the
United States.
Resolved, by the senate and house
of representatives of the United
States of America, in congress as
sembled, that the state Of belliger-
,ency between the United States and
the imperial German government
which has been thrust upon the
United States is hereby formally
declared, and
That the president, be, and ne Is
hereby authorized to take immediate
steps not only to put the country
in thorough state Of defense, but
also to exert all Of its power and
employ all of its resources to carry
on war against the imperial Ger
man government and to bring the
conflict to a successful termination.

ready to aid the committee Of Ameri-
can Physicians for Medical Prepar-
edness and the medical departments
Of the Federal government, in their
plans for preparedness.
"For the present it is our desire
that you devote your energies toward
encouraging medical men Of suit
able age and professional attain,
ments, to join the Medical Corps or
the Medical Officers Reserve Corps
Of the Army on the one hand, or the
Coast Defense Reserve Corps Of the
Navy on the other hand. This re-
quest is made in order that members
of the medical profession in consid-
cradle numbers may join the medi-
cal departments, Of the army and
navy and receive such instructions
as will enable them to be r, prepared
for any duties which they may be
called upon to perform.
"Some. time ago the Committee Of
American Physicians sent inventory
forms to a large number Of the hos
Fpitals OF yonr state with the request
that they be filed out and returned
at the earliest moment. Please see
to it that those hospitals in your
community which have received such
forms and which have not returned
them, fill them. out and return them
in accord with the instructions print
ed on each inventory blank.
"You will find enclosed circular
of information regarding the Medi-
cal Reserve Corps of: the army.
Within a few days you will receive
from your State Committee definite
instructions and plans for your
guidance in this work"

NAVY LEAGUE

A report has been circulated in the
last few weeks that the Navy League
has disbanded and is not knitting for
the men in the navy any longer. This
is a gross error, which may have
grown out of the news items in the
papers about. the trouble between the
Secretary of the Navy and one men,
ber of the Mems Branch of the league.
But at the time of this trouble, the
local Navy League received tele-
gram from Washington instructing us
to continue our work, as everything
we made would be accepted and plac-
en- in the hands Of our sailor boys.
A fine number Of articles have been
made, and large box of finished gar
ments will be shipped before the end
of the month. There is splendid
supply of wool in the hands of the
leagues and anyone wishing to pst
their spare moments knitting will find
wool and directions at Radle's Music
Store3 where the league meets every
Thursday at o'clock.

STATE NOW INSPECTING
INTER COUNTY SEAT ROADS

Road drag inspectors appointed by
the State Highway Department are
now making personal inspection of
inter-county seat roads throughout
the State, to see that drag funds are
being properly expended. These in
spectors were sent out by the State
department because of numerous COM
plants received from counties to the
effect that the roads were not being
properly dragged, and that in some
instances the funds appropriated by
the State were not being applied upon
the roads at adj. The inspectors are
covering the entire State, and will re-
port any failure to drag the roads at
proper times. Citizens living along
the inter-county seat highways are
also requested t. notify the State
Highway Department if the roads are
not receiving attention, as the State
Department is determined to secure
the best possible results from the ex-
penditure of the drag funds.
