Estimated TO BE LOW
Err THAN USUAL.
Situation in Austria is, Even Worse
Than They Are in Germany
1t IL Stated.

London, Oct. 14.-The Press AS
sociation from a reliable source,
publishes an economic review of
the conditions of the Central Powers,
in the course of which it says that as
a result of a special investigation or.
dered by the German chancellor OF
the 1917 harvest, it is estimated
that the yield will be 40 per cent
lower than in normal years fol
wheat, and As per cent lower for rye
oats, and barley. The total harvest
of wheat and rye amounts of 7,500,.
900 tons, compared to 132,000,00C
tons in 1913. The shortage will be
partly compensated from the Ru
manian granaries.
The reviewer considerd that the
food situation in Germany during
the coming winter, will depend main
ly on the results of the potato har'
vest.
The situation in Austria Hungary
it is declared, is worse than in Ger

Sol H. Rosenberg, died Monday
morning, October 18th, 1917, at five
o'clock, at the Pryor Hospital in

! The little boy was taken sick two
weeks ago with appendicitis and was
taken to Chester for an operation.

The little boy had the constant at
tention of his uncle, DR.. Sam Visans-
ka, who is an authority on the dis
eases of children, his parents were
with him through his illness and
everything of which human skill was
capable was done for him, but with
out avail for the time of his de-
parture had come.
The body was brought to Able

taken to the home of his parents and
throughout the afternoon vast
throng of sympathizing friends pass
ed in and out of the home, empha-
sizing their sympathy for the young
parents and seeing for the last time
the child. who by his bright and
winning ways, has made so many
friends.
Tuesday morning the body was ia
ken to Sumter for interment, ac-
companied by the parents and rela-
tives and friends.
Sol, Jr., as he was called by ev-
eryone, was a bright little boy, of
sunny disposition, a pet of the boys
around town, beloved of his little
playmates and the pride and joy of
his mothers and fathers heart.
The sincere sympathy of the peo-
pie of Abbeville goes out to the dis
