Not Too Good.

Times are a trifle hard in the cot
ton belt just now, and money is lit
tie scarce. Evidently Uncle Ephrim
thinks so, for he came up to his sup
ply merchant the other day and said: /:
"Marse John, times is tighter dan

money at all? No, sir, ah can't get

Of nickel. Do you know Marse

His Obituary.

When a poplar sea captain died
four leading men of the hamlet were
selected to write an epitaph, and it
was declared that each should write
a line. The first wrote his easily.
The second puzzled little, then
wrote his. The third followed even
more slowly but the fourth wrote as
if inspired, and the whole verse read:
Here lies the captain of the sea;
Here lies him, here lies he;
Hallaleujah, hallelluee;
A. B. G.. D. E. F. G.

He Lives At Home.

]. D. Duncan, who lives on the
Due West road, was in the city on
Monday. Mr.. Duncan has one of the
best appointed small farms in the
county. He produces very little
cotton himself, renting out his cot
ton land. His home is surrounded
by other farm products. He has two
fine watermelon patches, a patch OF
so of cantaloupes, tomatoes and 9TH
er things which command a good
price on a ready market. In addi-
ton to these, he has fine orchards OF
grapes of all kinds, strawberry
patches, etc.
Mr.. Duncan is also interested in
bees and chickens. He has two
patches of buckwheat growing in his
garden. The buckwheat grows on a
tall stem about the height of ordi-
nary small grain, while on the top
at this season you find a cluster OF
beautiful white flowers. These flow
ers furnish a feeding place for the
bees while the honey season is on,
and later develop into the grains of
buckwheat on which the chickens
thrive.
Mr.. Duncan is a raser of fine hogs,
having in his lot some fine Berk-
shire pigs at present. He produces his
own meat and has some for the mar
ket.

WATERING FARM HORSES.

'sLt is a common thing for farmers
to work their horses in the hayheld
from morning to night, watering
them only at noon. This is done on
days of excessive heat. The driver
usually has two or more refreshing
drinks in the middle of the morning,
and again in the afternoon; but the
horses, who are equally as thirsty,
,po without. This want Of water is
not only distressing, but it causes
the horse to drink to excess at noon
and again at night, which cften re-
suits in collie, and always tends to
produce q distended stomach, OF
what farmers call a hay belly
Farmers who would treat their
horses humanely should take water

RANKS OF GENERAL FOR
PERSHING AND MARCH
ASKED BY PRESIDENT

Washington, July ps.-Pema,
nent ranks of general in the regula,
army for General Pershing and
General March, chief-of-staff, and
permanent ranks for admiral in the
navy for Rear Admiral Sims and
Admiral Benson, chief Of opera;
tions, were asked of congress today
by President Wilson. !
The President, in his message
recommended that the law giving
the permanent rank of general to
General Pershing and March be ex-
pressed in such way as to give
precedent to General Pershing.
The ranks of General which Per.
shing and March now hold only ex-
ist in the emergency army rapidly
being disbanded. While in supreme
command of the American fleet in
the war zone Rear Admiral Sims
had the rank of full admiral, but
recently went back to a lower
grade. Admiral Benson is soon to
retire after taking the navy through
the was as chief of operations.
No one in Washington would ven
ture if the presidents recommends
tions bore any relations to the long
reported friction between Pershing
and March. Friends of both men,
however, anxiously have been wait
ing to see what permanent rank
would be given them. There is no
official recognition of friction be-
tween the two generals, but army
circles on the inside fairly teem
with it.
AS talk in army circles has it,
General Pershing felt that many of
his recommendations from France
ran tortuous course after reach
ing the chief of staff, and the chief
of staff had some feeling on re-
naming in Washington during the
war, as to whether the command
ing general of the army or the chief
of staff bore the credit for its oper-
ations.

Mart Cheatham at Grenoble.

Mrs. P. A. Cheatham has received
copy of the Alpine American, a
paper published in Grenoble, France,
in the interest Of the American stu
dents at the University of Grenoble.
The paper is splendidly gotten
up affair and the issue of June 25th
has much news that is interesting to
Abbeville people. Among the names
of the South Carolina boys attending
the University are Sergt. Mart Cheat
ham, Lieut.. Louis F. Parker, of
Charleston, and Lieut.. James c. Fair
of St. Matthews, the last two well
known names in Abbeville.
Among the news notes is notice
that Miss Lucia Parker is spending
the weekend with her nephew, Lieut..
Louis Parker. Miss Parker has been
in France for many months doing
canteen work. Old friends in Able
vile are always glad to hear of her
welfare and happiness.
In one of the many cuts in the
paper showing the American soldiers,
Sergt. Chatham shows up as large as
life among the "wild cats" His
war experience does not seem to
have changed him.

Tampico For
Correl Murder

made public tonight by Acting Sec
retary of State Phillips, said:
"The Mexican government will O.
NIT no efforts in the prosecution and
punishment of those responsible for
a crime so odious, in the clearing up
of which it will exhaust all means at
its disposal"
In regard to the attack on the
American sailors-an incident which
eclpsed all other matters in interest
in the capital today-it is expected
the State department after receipt
Of further details will ask the Car
rama government to apprehend and
punish the assailants. If unable to
carry out this request according to
diplomatic practice, the Carranzs
government will be asked to disavow
the attack.
Additional information is expected
by both departments within a very
few days, probably tomorrow. AT
the navy department it was said that
there had been nothing received to
indicate whether the note Of inquiry
addressed by Secretary Daniels late
yesterday to Commander Earl Peck
Finney Of the cruiser Topeka, at
Tampico, who reported the attack
had been received by the Office
Some delay in the receipt of the
answer to the secretary's message OF
inquiry was anticipated, because Of
the inability to communicate direct
by wireless with the Topeka, due to
the existence in the Gulf Of Mexico
of what is known by radio experts
as a "static."

VETERANS GATHER
IN GREENWOOD
Old Time Welcome to be Extended
Them-Many From Abbeville to
Attend-Committees to Meet
All Trains.

A large number of Confederate
veterans from this county will attend
the South Carolina Division, Confed-
crate Veterans, meeting in Green
wood today and Wednesday.
No great display will mark this
gathering of the old heroes OF the
'eOs, whose thinning rank each year
are greeted with deeper love and re-
spect and a homage of tenderness
that brings a catch to the throats OF
the younger generations.
Courtesies For Veterans.
Following the desires and requests
Of the veterans themselves, voiced by
headquarters of the division, strict
attention will be paid to assisting
every veteran to meet and mingle
with his brother-in-arms and to take
ar active part in the reunion with a
maximum Of pleasure and a minimum
of exert;on and confusion. The pro.
gram has therefore been devised with
this end in view, to spending the two
days spent there pleasantly and com
fortably without an undue tax upon
the gallant ofd heroes.
Committees will meet all trains
with automobiles and the veterans
and their friends will be met and
taken to the bureau, at the Southern
Railway station where they will be
assigned homes and sent directly
from the station to their hosts. Each
veteran will be supplied with an en-
velope containing the official badge
of the reunion, the official program,
an identification card bearing the
name Of the guest and his assigned
hosts and paper drinking cups.

SOLDIERS FAIL TO
KEEP UP PAYMENT
ON THEIR POLICIES

"ooA14S Will SoAy tCs&APPAVA~
imately three-fourths of the four
million officers and enlisted men in
the military forces who secured
government insurance policies thru
the war risk insurance bureau dur
ing the war have failed to continue
their payments, it was disclosed
during the meetings of the bureaus
advisory committee Of thirteen,
headed by Charles Evans Hughes,
which closed last night. .
Recommendation that the organi-
zation of the insurance bureau be
decentralized in order to permit
more direct and effective transac-
ton of business was made. by the
advisory committee following its
series Of conferences with Director
Cholme1ey-Jones and other officials
Oh Cne bureau.
Failure of many poicy-holders to
continue payments and convert
their term policies was attributed
largely to the fact that the bureau
is unable to communicate with
them as 80 per cent of the ad-
dresses of discharged service men
are incorrect.
In order to reduce the necessity
of relying upon correspondence to
carry out this "vast undertaking"
the committee recommended that
qualified representatives of the bu-
reau be sent to the capital of each
state to confer with the governor,
in order to enlist the aid of state,
county and municipal officers in OBJ
tanning the correct addresses of dis
charged service men and keeping in
touch with them. National organi-
zation, such as the Red Cross and
the American Federation of Labor,
also should be asked to assist in
this work, the committee said.
To secure constant personal con-
tact with policy-holders the commit
tee recommended that the bureau
establish local representatives in
each state, or in such districts as it
may seem advisable to divide the
country. AS a further means Of in
forming policy-holders as to their
privileges and obligations, an ade-
quate advertising and publicity cam
paign should be inaugurated, it was
suggested.
The committee in concluding its
report, stressed the Importance Of
legislative provision for placing the
organization of the bureau upon a
permanent business basis

In these performances Lionel por-
