he would be free TO take UP his quest.
But those seven days were more than
a week; they were seven eternities.
The hours were like lead; O'Reilly
could compose his mind to nothing; he
was in fever of impotence.
The day of days dawned at last, and
Johnnie was early at Manin's soda
fountain, drinking insipid beverages
and anxiously watching the street. In
due time the negroes appeared, their
straw sarons laden with produce which
they innocently disposed of. O'ReIlly
began to consult his watch with such
frequency that the druggist joked him.
Manins banter was interrupted by a
bugle call. Down the street came per-
haps two hundred mounted troops.

I go to the roof, where l can see some

O'Reilly tried to compose himself,
meanwhile becoming aware of a grow
ing excitement in the street. Then
from the direction of the fort at the
end of San Rafael street sounded a
faint rafting fusillade, more bugle
calls, and finally the thin, distant
shouting of men.
"Rebelsi' someone cried
''Dios mic, they are attacking the
city,
"They have audacity, eh?"

Senator Hoke Smith says that it
is all wrong to say that the govern
ment fixed price on wheat. All that
the government did, he says, was to
fix a price BELOW WHICH wheat
should not go, Now that is what we
wanted. We do not see why when
co..ol Wis up TO th:rty-four cents, a
PRICE BELOW WHICH was not in
serted. We would not have cared
how high it went, if only we could
have scotched it when it started the
other way. Something has gone
wrong in this whole matter.

DEATH OF DUANE COX.

Duane, the youngest son of Mrs
Jennie Cox, died Wednesday after
noon, Oct. 9Oth, 1918, after an i'll
ness of nine days of pneumonia. The
little boy was seriously i'll from the
very first and for the past. several
days no hopes of his recovery have
been entertained.
Duane was a general favorite with
the people in his neighborhood,
"playing fair with the boys and
showing a gentle and courteous
manner to his elders. Among the
BOYS he was called affectionately
"Charlie", having given himself this
name after an old family horse
whom he loved and petted.
Duane was nine years old Sunday,
the 9th, and was member of the
third grade at school.
Funeral services were held at
Long Cane cemetery Thursday af-
ternoon at four o'clock, conducted
by Rev. H. Waddell Pratt. A large
concourse of people gathering to ex-
press their sympathy for the be-
reaved family.
The little boy is survived by his
mother, two sisters, Misses Edna and
Margaret Cox, and four brothers,
William, who is at home, and R. E.,
James and Hubert Cox who are all
overseas in the service of their
country.
The people of Abbeville grieve
with the disconsolate mother, who
held the hope of an upright young
manhood for her youngest son.

Life Was Just Many
Days of Suffering
FOR FOURTEEN MONTHS SHE
THOUGHT EACH DAY WOULD
BE LAST.

"I've always believed in passing
good thing along and that is just
WHY l want to tell everybody what
Tanlac has done for me-" said Mrs.
]. M. Mayes, wife of well known
coal and wood dealer, residing at
1719 Twelfth st., Augusta, Ca,
scme time ago.
"For fourteen long miserable
months suffered with disordered
kidneys, severe headaches and other
serious complications until my life
was just one day of torture after
another" she continued. "My ap-
petite failed me entirely and food
seemed to poison my system. My
extreme nervousness made it almost
impossible for me TO sleep, and l
WIS dragged down by one trouble
after another until I thought every
day would be my last and was told
that an operation was the only hope
for my life. 1 refused to allow the
operation, however, and after read
ing what Tanlac did for friend of
mine, I tried it as last resort.
~ honestly believe that Tanlac
is the best medicine in the world
Right after the first few doses I be-
gan to improve and pick up in
weight until l am now fifteen
pounds heavier than when l started
liking Tanlac. 1 have not had a
headache since I began using it and
my kidneys have stopped troubling
me entirely. I am relieved of all
that dreadful suffering and am in
better condition than I have been
for fourteen months past"

VIENNA GIVES TERMS OF NOTE

Communication Sent to Secretary
Lansing-For Peace at Once.
Vienna, Oct. 29, Via Basel.-Aus-
tria-Hungary through her new for
eign minister, Count Andrassy, has
sent note to Secretary Lansing
requesting the secretary's interven-
ton with President Wilson for an
immediate armistice in all fronts and
for the commencement of peace ne
gotiations. The note says:
"Immediately after having taken
direction of the ministry of foreign
affairs and after the dispatch of the
official answer to your note of Octo-
Der 18, 1918, by which you were
able to see that we accept all the
points and principles laid down by
President Wilson in his various de-
claratons and are in complete accord
with the efforts of President Wilson
to prevent future wars and to create
a league of nations, we have taken
preparatory measures in order that
Austrians and Hungarians may be
able, according to their own desire
and without being in any way him
dered, to make a decision as to their
future organization and to rule it.
"Since the accession to power of
Emperor King Charles his immova-
BILE purpose has been to bring an end
to the war. More than ever this is
the desire to the sovereign of all the
Austro-Hungarian peoples, who ac-
knowledge that their future destiny
can only be accomplished, in a pa
cifc world, by being freed from all
disturbances, privations and sorrows
of war.

TURNING ON THE LIGHTS.

Everybody was in the dark We'd
nesday night, and everybody except
those who were sick telephoned to
find the trouble. 1t was the first
time, as everybody always says, tnar
we have been without lights.
We inquired Thursday morning
for the trouble, and found out that
the line from Gregg Shoals to Alb
beville, over which we usually OBJ
tain our power, got out of commits
sion on Wednesday. In order to
s'"e us lights the Power Company,
which is responsible for the up-keep
Of the lines, switched US on the lines
of the Southern Power Company
through Greenwood. Wednesday
night the switches at Greenwood
through which the power comes to
Abbeville burned out, with the result
that no. power could be obtained at
the power house from either end of
the line.
Superintendent Hix and his assist
ants, in order to give us lights dur
ing the night, went out on the line
Of The Southern Power Company,
near the County Farm and there To-
Gated the trouble on this line, and
though it was not their business to
do so, they repaired this line and
bror"ht the lights to Abbeville at
about o:S0. This served also to get
lights for Greenwood, which was al
so in darkness.
Thursday morning Superintendent
Hix received a long distance mes,
sage from the power company thank
ing him for making the temporary
repairs. The company itself got tc
work on the line Thursday morning

DR.. B. E. GARRISON.

After serving the people of this
community in most faithful and
acceptable manner for the last two
weeks during the epidemic through
which we have passed, DR.. B. E.
Garrison has gone from us to take
up his work at another place where
his duty calls him. We feel that we
speak for all the people of Abbeville
when we say that from the moment
he reached Abbeville, until he left
us, he put his whole heart into the
work of relieving the suffering that
he found among our people. He
sought to do good every minute of
the time, and he accomplished much.
When he was stricken himself, he
did not lose interest in those who
were like sufferers, but he received
and considered reports each day, and
took counsel for the betterment of
the conditions around US. When he
was again able, he took up the work
and finished it.
1t is no easy thing for stranger,
even l:hcn ne is sent 1y the authoI-
tie; hat he, to go into community
where ne is not known, and where
sometimes the people seem indiffer-
ert and cold towards the work which
one tries to do But there is al
ways satisfaction in work we'll done
and merit usually wins in the long
run.
We wish for the good doctor, as
he goes away, many years OF useful
ness in the noble profession to which
he has dedicated the years which
are his. AS he goes about his daily
work, we hope that he may kno"

Wheat Bread.

/ Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only Limitation upon Ameri.
can exports TO Europe has been the
shortage Of shipping. Between July
and October 10 we shipped 659s0.305
bushels II this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year We will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237. 5000 bushels Of wheat and
flour In terms Of wheat.
The result Of Increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
States has been that with the eessu.
tion Of hostilities we are able TO re-
turn TO a normal wheat diet Supplies
that have accumulated In Australia
Argentine and other hitherto inacces
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service. and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There Is wheat enough avail.

But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able TO keep a
steady stream Of wheat and -four NOV.
Ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticinns
figured that We had bare surplus of
20,0OO,OOO bushels And yet Eurape
was facing the probability OF bead
famine-and in Europe bread is by far
the most Important article In the diet.
All OF this surplus had left The
country early In the fall. BY the first
OF the year we had managed to shin
little more than 50,000O0O bushels by
practicing the utmost economy NJ
home-by wheatless days, wheatlcss
meals, heavy substitution OF other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda.
then British Food Controller, cablca
that only II we sent an additional 10.
100000 bushels before July could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response OF the American peo.
pie was $1,000, 900 bushels safely deln.

July !. Out OF harvest which gave
US only 2o,0oo,OO0 bushels surplus we
actually shipped l4i,00o,OO0 bushels.
Thus did America fulfil her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
