LITTLE FALLS WINS BASKET
BALL GAME OVER CROSBY
40 TO IS

A smoothly working combination,
built up by Coach Frank Hall, a former
local high school basketball star and
later of Macalster college, enabled the
Little Falls quint to defeat the Crosby
five on the local floor Saturday night
by a score of 40 to Is. The contest
was cleanly played and featured by
the close guarding of the locals. Cros-
by scoring but four field baskets, and all
all of these in the first half.
The first half ended with the locals
leading by three points, the score be-
ing Il to II. Crosby counted first
when Captain Anderson converted a.
personal foul, called on Wands, into a
goal. Carhart soon followed with a
field goal, making the count to 0 in
Crosby's favor. Sims started the scor-
ing for the locals with field basket
and soon repeated with another basket
putting Little Falls in the lead 4 to 3.
From this time on Crosby never passed
or never tied the court.
Crosby put up better game in the
first half, mainly through the defensive
playing Of Nelson and the floor work
Of Young and Carhart.

FAILURE OF THE COUNTY.

Abbeville went over the top IN the
recent loan by about $4,000. AD-
neville county fell short Of her quota
bv about $4,000. Outside OF Abbe-
Vile, Due West and Calhoun ,:t.alls Fans
were the only Two places that went
over. Lowndesville with quota OF
s14,5oo, raised only $1,000 and Dom
aids with a quota of $4,000, raised
only $4,000.
The reason for the failure OF parts
of the county to 60 over the top was
lack of organization. The people
were not canvassed. A number OF
men living in the county have. said
that they were never approached by
canvasser and asked to subscribe.
This is no excuse for those who fall
ed to buy Victory Bonds, but it is a
reason.

THE BOND ISSUE
AND OTHER THINGS

The Bond Issue for paved streets
in Abbeville has been carried unani-
mously. For that fact Abbeville
should be congratulated. And the
element Of unanimity is a mighty
healthy indication. There is another
side to the question. Abbeville
should have had the paved streets a
long time ago, which nulliies any
praise accruing to the citizens for
voting it at this time.
Paved streets were perhaps the
most patent need of the city to the
casual visitor. 1t was a condition
that unfavorably advertised town,
the dust from which rises from the
streets and hovers adumbrant over
the city "a sign of unprogressiveness.
1t is unfortunate that the bond issue
is not larger; that all the streets
cannot be passed. That is the end in
view.
Abbeville has other needs, the most
obvious being a real, back-breaking,
sweat-producing spring cleaning. If
this city was an army camp and a
camp inspector should happen upon
US one day Unexpectedly the good
citizens of Abbeville would not get
off kitchen police, the woodpile and
the incinerator until their terms Of
enlistment ran outs ,EFo,M pas'the

Helped Her Like
Others Told Her
Spartanburg Woman Makes Highly
Interesting Statement-Says She
Feels Fine Now and "Sure Can
Praise Tanlac for Its Aid"

''It is the best medicine I ever
took for stomach trouble, nervous
ness and palpitation of the heart. I
sure can praise and recommend it,"
declared Mrs. H. E. Lawter, of 116
Williams St., Spartanburg, S. c., in
statement she gave in endorsement
of Tanlac, "The National Tonic"
Il suffered from very bad cases of
indigestion, nervousness and palpita-
ton of the heart" continued Mrs.
Lawter.. 'T could hardly sleep, and
would just roll and tumble for hours,
and my nerves were so badly dis
turbed that I was kept miserable al
most all the time. I could eat scarce
ly anything. What I did eat felt like
bricks in my stomach, and I had
a kind of choking in my chest after
meals. My heart futtered a great
eal, and this, I think. was partly
caused by the great quantity of gas
that formed on my stomach.
FINALLY ! decided to try Tanlac,
as it had helped so many others who
had. troubles somewhat like mine,
and now I am not bothered with
stomach trouble, thanks to Tanlac. I
eel a great deal better in every way,
too. My nerves are much stronger
and steadier, and I used to get so
nervous that I jumped when anyone
spoke to me. I'm certainly not that
way now, as Tanlac has relieved
those nervous troubles and I have
not been bothered bit with palpita-
ton since I took the first bottle of
Tanlac. ..'
''I feel fine now in many ways and
I sure can praise Tanlac and I give
it credit for the change in my con-
dtion. am fifty-nine years old,
and it takes powerfully good medi-
cine to help anyone as old as I am

many eyesores-but it would be
more sanitary and would 60 far to-
ward abating the plague of flies,
which is already upon us.
Abbeville has many things that
attribute toward making beauti-
full place. First are her trees. Other
features are not so attractive. There
IRE the broken down fences to be
considered, and the paint brush and
he lawn mower loom up as possible
aids.
If the citizens would become i'm
>ued with the spirit of working to-
gether for Abbeville the thing would
be accomplished. All that is needed
is teamwork.
Which brings us up to the ques-
ton of a commercial club. That the
business men of this town should Or
ganize is matter few will debate,
that many advantages and practically
no disadvantages would accrue from
such an organization is equally un-
debatable. It's an open and shut
proposition. Public enterprise will
follow in the train of a business
club as certain as night follows day.

PLAN ORGANIZATION !
OF COTTON INTERESTS

New Orleans, May 13.-The pro-
posed plan for organization for the
American Cotton Export Financing
corporation a pool of cotton produc-
ers and dealers, for export trade, as
made known here today, at a con-
ference of cotton interests, provides
for a corporation capitalized at
s100, 100000 to be paid largely in
Liberty bonds.
The corporation would be empow-
cred to accept wide variety of for
eign securities, and to market them
in this country or issue bonds Of
its' own It also could ACQUIRE con-
troll of foreign cotton manufacturing
plants. ?
The organization plan also provid-
es that the corporation might lend
money to dealers or shippers on se-
curity of warehouse receipts IN eases
where cotton is being assembled for
export. Thus it would Finance the
entire export transaction.
The draft on the proposed powers
for the corporation will be. submit
ted later this week to the entire con-
ference of cotton interests repre-
kentatives and adoption. Of the plan
without matrial notifications is ex-
pected. The authorized capital stock
although fifxed at s100,0OO,OOO in
the tentative draft, may be reduced.
The corporation would be author
lied to begin business when the
amount of capital stock subscribed
reaches s2O,OOO,OOO, with fifty per
cent paid in, and payments might be
made either in cash, Liberty Bonds
or notes, or treasury certificates of
Indebtedness. By this means approx
imately 100000 worth of govern
ment securities would be the basis
for financial operations at the start.
In addition to finding a market
abroad for cotton and cotton prod
ucts, and making the necessary con-
tracts, the corporation would be en-
powered to deal in notes, drafts,
checks, bills of exchange, accept
ances, cable transfers, or other evil
dences Of Indebtedness. It coul
take bonds of foreign governments
or of foreign banks, syndicates or
other privates business firms, and
make loans to these foreign interests
on the security of their obligations.
By this means the corporation vir-
tually would sell it's cotton to for
eign purchasers on credit, raising
money in this country on security of
the foreign bonds to finance the op-
erations.
Another power proposed for the
corporation is to permit it to take
stock in foreign commercial or in
dustrial enterprises connected with
the purchase or manufacture of cot
ton. This might involve the ac-
ceptance of mortgages on foreign
plants and thus give the American
cooperative corporation hand in
the management of foreign firms.

First Person to Play

First Person to Play
upon the violin was Mr.. Skovgaard
himself. To a chance meeting with
a London dealer in musical instru-
ments Mr.. Skovgaard owes his good
fortune in obtaining his rare Strad.
This man had fine collection of old
Italian violins, they were real anti
ques, cracked, scratched, and worn,
through more or; less rough life for
7everal centuries. Having reveled
nthe wealth before him and tried
most of them, Mr.. Skovgaard re-
marked that it would have been a
pleasure to have seen such instru-
tents when they were new, but such
pleasures were denied modern artists
To the surprise of the Danish artist,
lis new friend replied in the mega
tive and stepped to freproof vault
came out with big yellow lea
ther case, which he opened and took
,ut an unstrung violin, and handed
it to his guest. Apparently it was
'ust from the makers shop, but
nlainly it was lettered "Antonius
Stradivarius Ammo, 1712." "When I
was last in Madrid" said the dealer,
IF was presented to collector Of art
.erks, in whose collection, however,
Here was but one violin, namely, a
stradivarius. Naturally I inquired
w violin could have become lost
~oong so many painting and he then
informed me that it was an old heir
loom, which had always been in the
family, and that he had once found
book with history Of how Stradi-
varius made this violin in memory Of
dead son, and that had therefore
retained it in the museum" With
the instrument went the romantic
tale of it's origin-how in Cremona,
through the love of one of Stradi-
varius' best pupils for a girl violin
list, an instrument that the maker
particularly priced had been stolen
for the girl when it was returned to
maker he refused ever to part
with it, and it was not until after his
death that his sons sold it to collec-
tor, who, in his turn, sold it to the
Spanish museum, where the instru-
ment descended from father to son
Il many generations. The price de-
manded for the violin was $4,000,
md was paid by Skovgaard. This
'iolin fulfills the most enthusiastic
expectations as all will believe who
ear its tone.
The proceeds of this performance
will be donated to the Abbeivlle
Memorial Hospital.
