AN OPERATIVES BANK.

The operatives of the Abbevllle
Cotton Mills have decided to go in
to the banking business. An appli
cation has been filed with the Sec
retary of State for a charter for
the institution, which will have a
capital stock of ten thousand dol
lars, to be divided into four hundred
shares of twenty-five dollars each.
The stock will be sold to employees
of the Abbeville Cotton Mills, the
Mills taking what is not at first sub
scribed and holding it for sales to
operatives from time to time until
the stock is all taken up.
The plan is intenl led to stimulate
the employees in the matter of max
ing small savings and to teach the
value of thrift. The bank will no
doubt be of great benefit to those
who become interested in its affairs,
and we hope to see it grow to be of
benefit to the whole community.

Successful Finaneier to Have Posi-

Full Power Granted to Act
- in Executive Capacity.

Washington, April 24.-Direction
Of the army's great aircraft pro
duction problem has been placed in
the hands of a civilian, John D.
Ryan, copper magnate, railroad man
and inancier. >,:@l y y
Secretary Baker, announced the
step tonight, disclosing at the same
time a reorganization of the signal
corps under which the aviation sec.
ton virtually is divorced from the:
corps proper, heretofore supreme on
ell questions. With actual produc-
ton turned over to a civilian divis-.
ion headed by Mr.. Ryan, Brig. Gen.
William l.. Kenly is made chief Of
a new division of military aeronau-
tics, to control training of aviators
and military use of aircraft.
Major General Squier, chief sig
hal officer, will confne his activities
to the signal branch. Howard Cof-
fin, chairman of the aircraft board
and under whose direction the build,
ing program has developed to. its
present stage, retires from the board
and relinquishes the Craftsmanship to
Mr.. Ryan. The aircraft board it,
self, created by congress, will con-
tinue as advisory body. Throughout,
all the agitation over delays and
mistakes in getting quantity produc-
tion of aircraft under way, all crit
les have agreed that the great fault
lay in the absence of concentrated
control. The power of Mr.. Coffin
and his board was subject to the sig
nal corps and this divided response
bility has been blamed largly for
the fact that the program is about
three months behind. :

MULE STOLEN.

Tuesday night someone visited
the stables of Mr.. H. N. Cochran,
at his residence on the Lowndes-
vile road about five miles from the
city and stole from the stables a
bay horse mule, weighing about
800 pounds, and about years of
age. Mr.. Cochran values the mule
at around two hundred dollars.
No trace of the thief has been
found. except that a strange negro
was seen on the place in the after
noon inquiring the distance to
Lowndesville. This negro was bare
footed and had his hat in his hip
pocket. The party stealing the mule
was also barefooted, and below the
house in the field where the thie1
made his get-way shoe was found.
1t is supposed that the negro is the
same one seen in the afternoon from
this circumstance.
Mr.. Cochran is offering a reward
of twenty-five dollars for informa-
ton which will lead to a recovery
of the mule.

ing on Fiercely.
HUNS GAIN FOOTING
Defenders Continue to Strive Des-
perately to Prevent Advance
Of Invading Forces.

Paris, April 24.-The battle on
the whole front south of the .Somme
and on-the Atre lasted all day and
still continues, according TO the war
Office announcement tonight. The
Germans gained a footing in the
woods to the northward of Hangard-
en-Senterre and also in the western
outskirts of the village, which the
French are DESPERATELY defending.
Several enemy assaults were shat
tered near Hailles and attacks at
Senecat wood and Hill 80 also fail
ed.
The reference in the official state
ment issued by the French war Of
flee definitely locates the American
troops which were moved from the
southern sectors of the battle line
to parts of the French front which
were hard pressed during the great
German drive through Picardy.
On April 10 dispatches from both
the French and British headquarters
in France reported the arrival of
American troops. This was prior to
the time when the French extended
their lines far to the north of Mont
didier. The French official state
ment may indicate that the Ameri-
cans did not move to the north when
the British forces were replaced by
the French, but held the positions
to which they were originally as
signed,

MISS RUTH HOWE g.
AGAIN HoNoRED

Miss Ruth Howie, the talented
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. T. V.
Howie, is reaping more honors at
Brenau. Only a few weeks ago we
had a report of a high distinction
conferred on her on account of the
fine stand she was taking in he1
classes, being numbered among the
nine best students in the institution
Now comes another honor which
has been conferred on her, as the
letter below will show.
The people of Abbeville always
feel honored when an Abbeville boy
or girl makes good, and it is a
great pleasure to them that this
pretty and accomplished young wo-
man from our midst is helping to
keep us on the map.
The letter referred to is as fol-
lows:
"The annual election of new
members to Mu Phi Epsilon, the
honorary musical sorority, was held
in the Brenau Auditorium Thursday
noon, April 18th, during the chapel
hour The selections are made by
the Conservatory faculty, and elec-
ton to this sorority is the greatest
honor that can be bestowed upon
the Conservatory students. The old
members of the sorority gave a very
delightful recital, after which Prof.
Otto W. G. Pfefferkorn delivered
a short address and announced the
new members. Among the recipi-
ents of this honor is Miss Ruth
Howie, of Abbeville, S. c.

QUITS SELLING FLOUR
TO HELP WIN WAR

Americas, April 23.-Liston K.
Bagley, a prominent merchant of
DeSoto, informed the Sumter Coun-
ty food administration yesterday
he had decided to discontinue en-
tirely the sale of wheat flour. He
said: eff the Government wants
the people to stop eating flour, then
I think the merchants ought to stop
selling it. and I have decided to
adopt that course. l am trying to
cooperate in every way possible,
and if giving up flour will help win
the war, 1 believe that is the path
for me to follow"

After three weeks of preparation
in the Somme, during which time
they launched an offensive in Flan-
ders, the Germans have resumed
their hammering at the front door
of Amiens. For days there has been
heavy artillery firing along the
northern sectors of the Somme sal

try began their attempts to advance
on the line passing Villers-Breton-

drawal from this village, according
to a report from Field Marshal Haig
This marks German gain of about

Little News From North.
The fighting on the rest of the
front where the Germans have re-
sumed their drive toward the allied
base of supplies in Northern France
has not, so far as known, resulted
in any notable retirements on the
part of the allies. The German Of
fetal report issued on Wednesday
was silent as to events in this Sec
tor of the front.
An attack on this particular part
of the line in the Somme region had
been expected and it is probable
that preparations to meet it had
been made. The British Lines held
firm in this region during the last
days of the initial drive while the
Germans were able to forge ahead
farther south until they reached the
village of Castel, about three miles
from the railroad running to Paris
from Amiens.

GROWTH TO CONTINUE
Estimated That Construction in
1919 Will Exceed Ten Million
Tons, Unheard of Figures.

Washington, April 24.-The ship
ping board has. decided on a sub
stantial increase in it's building pro-
gram for 1919 over the tonnage
planned for this year and indica-
tions are that the increase will be
continued in 1920. =:
Plans for net year were discussed
today at luncheon attended by
Chairman Hurley and other mem
bers of the shipping board, Vice
President Piez and Director General
Schwab of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, P. A. Franklin of the In
ternational ship control committee,
Major General Goethals and other
officials. Especial attention was paid
to the question of passenger ships
and refrigerator ships, for (which
the war department will make large
demands as the war progresses.
For military reasons the exact
size of the future building program
was not made public. From previous
statements of Chairman Hurley,
however, it has been estimated that
the construction in 1919 will be in
excess of 10000, 1000 tons, the larg-
est amount in any one year by any
nation.
