FOR ABBEVILLE

A Columbia newspaper man, given
to digging up native heaths of the
solons who are sojourning in the
city of Columbia, has discovered that
Abbeville county, home of many in
tllectuals, carries off the honors of
having born within her borders more

county. Here is the list: Senator S. H
McGhee of Greenwood; Senator How
ard Moore, of Abbeville; Senator
Frank C. Robinson. of Mccormick ;
Senator Klugh Purdy, of Jasper;
Senator James W. Wideman of Clar-
endon, and Senator Proctor Bonham,
Of Greenville. In discussing the list
yesterday afternoon Senator Nc

BIG COTTON CROP
NOT ADVISABLE
So Says Assistant Secretary Agricul
ture Ousley at Clemson.

Clemson College, Jan. 1.-THE
annual meeting of the forces of the
Extension Servile of Clemson Col
,lege, opened there Thursday morn
ing. The morning meeting was de-
voted largely to a discussion of live
stock production and live stock prob
lens, ~: ~ q /. !. T.. j: ......... +, j,
During the middle Of the morning
Clarence Ousley, assistant secretary
of agriculture. was present and the
discussions were halted temporarily
to hear his address on "Some Agri-
cultural Problems of Peace" The
address was an unusually strong and
thoughtful one, full of ideas con-
cerning the questions which will con-
front agriculture, especially South
ern agriculture, in 1919. Mr.. Gus
ley discussed at some length the gen
eral disturbed condition Of the world
and its markets for agricultural pro-
duction, giving special attention to
the matter of cotton production. His
advice briefly is that because of dis
turbed conditions the world demand
for cotton will not be sufficiently
great in 1919 to warrant big crop,
nor to warrant expectations of 40
cents cotton during this year. His
advice briefly put to the Southern
farmer is: "Look we'll to the feed
ing of your own household and the
'?eding of your live stock and then
gov some cotton for cash."
Discussing problems at home, he
emphasized the Importance of reach
ing 2 solution of the marketing prob
''": the farm credit problem, and
the matter of cooperation among
'a:mers for buying and selling.
The preliminary meeting Wednes-
''ay was taken up largely with the
discussion of plans of work in 1919,
rs presented by the county agents
and with practical demonstrations in
orchard work, especially pruning.
The afternoon session on Thursday
contained the discussion of various
phases of live stock and took up dis
cussions of boys club work.

THIRTIETH MAY GO
TO CAMP GREENE
Department Considers New Demobil.
ization Plan-Soldiers May Not
Be Mustered Out of Service at
Either Columbia or Green
vile.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Two i'm
portant features in connection with
the early return of. the men of the
Thirtieth division to their homes be-
came known here today. 1t will prob
ably be announced at the conference
of General March with Washington
newspaper men tomorrow just when
these men will return and other in
formation regarding their demobih-
zation made public.
Another matter which became
clear here today was that the war
department may, in order not to Of
fend the citizens of Columbia and
Greenville, who are asking that the
troops be demobilized at Camp Jack
son and Camp Sewer, respectively,
order that the Palmetto State SOL
diers go from Charleston to Camp
Greene, Charlotte, N. c., for demob-
ilization. Information is that the
secretary of war is in something of
a dilemma as to whether to order
the South Carolinians to Columbia
or Greenville after they have reach
ed the United States and landed at
Charleston, and he feels that mas
much as the people of both. these
cities have been good friends Of the
department during the war, it might
be best to send the men somewhere
else.
There are also indications here in
connection with the peace confer,
ence which make it appear not out
of the question that demobilization
of the forces not yet mustered out
of the service may be delayed for a
time. It is known that conditions
abroad are not all that they might
be, and there is we'll defined feeling
that for the present America has al.
ready mustered out enough men and
that until peace is actually declared
the country should go slow in fur.

MISS ELLA HASKELL
PASSES IN WASHINGTON
Death Came After a Short Illness
With Pneumonia-BodyB Brought
Here Saturday and Enterment
Was at Long Cane Cemetery
Sunday Afternoon.

The death of Miss Ella Haskell
brought sadness and sorrow to our
people on Friday. Miss Haskell had
been in Washington for the past sew
eral months doing government work,
and news of her illness came to her
home people on Tuesday in a letter
of her own dictation saying she had
influenza, but that the worst was
over and not to worry about her.
Wednesday morning news came that
she was not so well and her, father
left at once for her bedside.
In Washington Miss Haskell made
her home with Mrs. A. NJ. Carpenter
and had many friends among the
South Carolinians. After becoming
i'll she was taken to a hospital and
was under the constant care of spe-
cialists. She was conscious and able
to recognize and speak to her father
on his arrival but later grew worse
and death released her young spirit
at four-forty-fve Friday morning,
Jan. 18th, 1919.
Miss Haskell was the eldest child
of Mr.. L. C. Haskell and his wife,
Kate Calhoun. she was born on the
old Haskell Plantation near Able
lille, thirty-one years ago, moving to
Abbeville with her family about fif-
teen years ago She attended the
public schools in Abbeville and after
wards graduated from the Winthrop
College. She taught for several
years successfully in Oklahoma and
Colorado. Since the beginning of
the fall she has worked for the gov
ernment in Washington doing her
share in the winning of the war.
The remains were brought to AG.
beville Saturday at midday and a
constant stream of sorrowing friends
called at the house to express their
sympathy and see for the last time
the sweet face of the deceased. She
lay in her casket. without visible
signs of illness, youthful and pretty,
impressing every one with the uncer-
tainty Of life and that Death indeed
loves shining mark.
Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church Sabbath after
noon at four o'clock and were. con-
Quoted by Rev. H. w. Pratt. The
pail bearers were: Messrs. W. D. Will
son. T. G: White, Richard Sondley,
J. L. Perrin. S. J. Link and H. R.
McAllister. After a short service
at the church the interment was at
Long Cane Cemetery.
Miss Haskell is survived by her
father, Mr.. L. C. Haskell, and the
following brothers and sisttrs: Miss
Sarah Haskell, of Abbeville, Miss
Kate Haskell, a student at Winthrop,
and Messrs. Calhoun Haskell, of Sa-
vannah, Langdon Haskell, of Salt
Lake City. and Allen Haskell, of New
Jersey.
A descendent of distinguished an
cestors, Miss Haskell combined
charming personality with a bright
mind and her friends and family
grieve that one so young and with
so much in life to make for happi-
ness, should answer the final call.

a Lasting World
Friendship.
cLEMENcEAU CHOSEN TO
r.. PRESIDE AT CONFERENCE
Great Solemnity to The Scene When
President Poincare Made Opening
Address of Nations
Will Be at Head of The
Program.

, Paris, Jan. lS.-lAe peaSe eoiiASi
ence, destined to be historic, and on
which the eyes of the world are now
centered, was opened this afternoon
in the great Sale de La Park.
The proceedings, which were con-
fined to the election of Georges Gle
menceau, the French premier, as
permanent chairman of the confer
ence, an address of welcome by the
president of the French republic,
RAYMOND Poincare, and speeches by
Pres. Wilson, Premier Lloyd-George
and Baron Connino, were character
lied by expressions of lasting friend
ship and the apparent determination
of the representatives of the various
nations to come to an amicable un-
derstanding with respect to the prob
lens to be decided by the confer
ence.
A Solemn Scene.
When President Poincare spoke
! the entire assembly stood, and the
fact that, according to custom, no
applause greeted his utterances gave
greater solemnity to the scene.
NJ. Clemenceau's acceptance OF the
presidency of the congress was both
feeling of expression of personal
gratitude and definite outline of
the great questions Immediately
ahead. Three of these larger general
subjects he defined as responsibility
for the war, responsibility for crimes
during the war and information lab
or legislation. The league of ma
tions he declared was at the head Of
he program for the next full session.
! sour ambition is great and no.
BILE one," said M. Clemenceau. "We
wish to avoid a repetition of the Ca
tastrophe which bathed the world in
blood. If the league of nations is to
be practicable we must all remain
united. Let. US carry out our pro-
gram quickly and in an effective
manner"
Referring to the authors of the
war, he said he, had consulted two
eminent jurists on the penal respon-
sibility of the former German en-
peror, and each delegate would re-
ceive copy of that report.
In all seventy-two seats were pro-
vided for the opening session of the
peace conference. On the outer side
of the great horseshoe were arrange
ed the Japaneses, the British and CO.
lonial delegates and the seat of the
fifth British delegate. A chair for
the fifth American delegate also was
reserved Immediately to the right of
the table of honor.
The Italian, Belgian, Brazilian,
Cuban. Haitian, Peruvian, Portu-
guese, Czecho-Slovakien and Urugua-
yam delegates sat in the order named.
Across at the left wing of the table
sat the Siamese, Rumanian. Polish,
Liberian, Hedjas, Guatamalan, Ecua-
doyean, Chinese and Bolivian dele
cations.

SOME DIFFERENCES s..'
MINOR IN CHARACTER

Paris, Fri, Jan. 17.-Careful in
vestigation here has made it possible
10 give more concretely than previ-
ously an outline of the war claims of
Great Britain and her general desires
regarding the making Of peace. ..
The British aims, the unofficial rep
resentation of them shows, are re-
garded as in general coinciding with
those of the United States delega-
tion at the peace conference. There
are. some minor differences Of opin-
ion between Great Britain and Am.
erica regarding the final adjustment
of the Worlds affairs, and these re-
main to be reconciled. On the whole,
however, the aims Of the two ma
tions are to be considered by British
commentators as identical.
Great Britain believes first, it is
declared in these sources, league Of
nations is desirable and attainable,
and that none of the British war aims
will be considered practicable unless
they conform with the tenets Of
such a league as is contemplated to
realign and govern the affairs of the
universe. She also believes that
things should be so adjusted that the
war aims of every country will con-
form with those of the others-in
other words that there should be a.
compact of give and take. ..t
AS to indemnities, Great Britain
expects to enter a pool with other
nations. Her claims are comparative
ly small, it is said, but she wants her
air aid damage and her shipping loss
es paid for. In addition to the lea
que of nations on the great things
which Great Britain hopes will grow
out of the peace conference, it is
:pparent, is a thoroughly good work.
ing agreement with the United
States. Great Importance is attach
ed to this.

For Permanent Peace.

Great Britain. it is declared by the
interpreters of her views, has no in
crest on the continent Of Europe
ether than that permanent peace and
justice be maintained. She thinks
ghe principle of self-determination
should be given full play and freedom
of transit both by rail and water
ways should be kept up. She desires,
it is stated, to see countries such as
Switzerland given access to the sea,
his not only in the interest of the
srade of Great Britain but of that
of the world, and she holds that
here are numerous ports which
should be made free, including Con-
stantinople.
Great Britain desires the greatest
freedom of trade on land and seas
I'D she expects as league of ma
tions to guarantee this, it is stated.
Before the war British colonies were
open to the world.
