NEWS FROM FRANCIS LINK

Mr.. Robert S. Link had tele-
gram from Congressman Aiken on
Thursday conveying the intelligence
from the War Department that
Francis L. Link, who has been ex-
pected home for sometime on visit
underwent an operation for appen-
dicitis in Manila on February fifth,
and that he would leave the hospital
on March fifth. This probably means
that Mr.. Link will not be able to
visit his home people at this time
as he had planned.

yet fully digested the recent enact

what effect these laws will have on
bitters. There are some changes
in the school laws which he would
like to see adopted also.

WILSON BEGINS
SECOND TERM
Note of Patriotic Fervor Predomi-
mated Through Proceedings of
-.. Day.

Washington, March 5.-President
Wilson and Vice-President Marshall
were inaugurated for their second
term today with a great patriotic
demonstration of Americanism. =
The solemn dignity Of the ceremo-
nies of inaugurating the vice-presi-
dent in the senate chamber and the
simple but impressive ceremony in
the open air on the plaza before the
capitol when the president delivered
his inaugural address, were accentu-
ated by the note of patriotic fervor
which predominated through all the
proceedings Of the day. > 2-
First democratic president to sue
ceed himself since Jackson and tenth
to be reelected, President Wilson
entered his second term Of Office
with a new conservation to the SER
vice Of his country.
: It'was the presidents wish that his
Inauguration should be simple one
and all through the fixed program
which covered more than five hours,
while there was the pomp, ceremony
and spectacular display which newt
ably attaches to. the Inauguration of
a president, the studied effort was
to keep the ceremonies in accord
with the best traditions Of America
ceremonies which in the main were
planned by George Washington more
than a century ago. =
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1917-03-07
Event Simpli6ed.

The event was simplifed because
there was no dual ceremony to at
tend the departure Of an outgoing
president and further simplified be-
cause it did not fall in with the rush
and confusion of the dying hours of
congress. ...
The ceremony begana with the
presidents departure from the White
House for the capitol. That was fixed
by program for IL O'clock. Just
before that time the escorts for the
party began assembling, a squadron
of the Second United States cavalry
for the president and the black horse
troop Of Culver Military academy
for the vice president. Just before
the hour Of departure the, congress
sional committee in charge Of the
Inauguration arrangements arrived.
President Wilson, accompanied by
Mrs. Wilson and two members of the
congressional inaugural committee,
rode in conveyance surrounded by
troops of the escort. In the second
conveyance came the vice president
and Mrs. Marshall surrounded by the
Culver troops. The third conveyance
brought Robert N. Harper, chairman
of the local arrangements committee
and the remaining members Of the
congressional committee.
Steel cables strung along the line
of march held a multitude from
crowding into the avenue. Reviewing
stands were well filled for the wait of
some two hours before the presi-
Dental party would return at the
head of the inaugural procession.

American Miners
Drive Out Foreigners

Flat River Mo-, July 1G.-Reports
were received today of sporadic firing
by guardsmen to frighten away loot
ers who continued the pillage Of the
homes of the foreigners driven out by
American miners and raided a church
in the colony. Although this is prohi-
bition territory, great quantities of
liquor have been found in the homes
of the exiles. Looters began to seize
liquor and to prevent any trouble the
guardsmen destroyed 1000 bottles of
beer and several kegs of liquor
Hundreds OF men carrying dinner
pals walked to the mines ready to go
to work if the mines were operated
today. In the great exodus of Satur-
day, according to a story that seems
authentic, one family forgot baby.
Another fleeing family picked up the
baby and took it along and found it's
parents later.

Major General Goethals has post

and contracting Immediately for build
ing two government ship building
plants He acted at the request Of
Chairman Denman of the shipping
: board, who went to lay the matter be-
fore the directors of the Emergency
Fleet corporation.
The wooden ship controversy is in
volved. The board Of directors of the
Z Fleet Corporation, composed Of mem
bers of the shipping board, it is un-
derstood, will insist that the manager
general, Goethals, build more wooden
ships than he has provided for. 1t is
said, too, they do not approve the
plan for construction Of government
owned steamship yards until there
has been a full discussion OF the pro-
ject. General GOethals announced his
program Friday in letter to Mr.. Den
man, after an order was issued by
President Wilson directing the Fleet
corporation to take charge of the
building program and authorizing the
shipping board to operate and requi-
sition tonnage already on the seas.
Today's developments indicating
that differences between General
Goethals and Mr.. Denman may be far
from settlement led to the suggestion
that it may be necessary for Presi-
dent Wilson to decide definitely as to
who shall be in supreme charge of
the building program.

proportion of the $4,000 fund which
has been allotted to North Dakota will
be raised without difficulty.
Good Meeting Sunday.

suasion always required to bring peo-
pie within doors on beautiful summer
afternoons, was very well attended,
and all who came were amply repaid
for the effort. Chief Justice Andrew

preme court presided. The invocation
was offered by Rev. w. ]. Hutchinson,
pastor of McCabe Methodist Episcopal

with $3.50 from Alex Rosen, 5000 from
Joseph Breslow and $50 from Mrs.
Mollie Eppinger. There was large
number of pledges of $50, $25 and
