FED HIMSELF TO THE HORSE
Few Minutes for Small
Boy Who Tumbled Down Chute
With the Hay.

One morning when little Hal Perry
was doing chores in his fathers
barn. he met with an accident that
placed him in peculiarly helpless
position He had made his way to
the left loft to get down fodder for
the stock In climbing over the hay
he slipped and fell, feet foremost,
into one of the chutes. When he
came to a stop his bare feet extended
into the Manager where jim, the only
bad-tempered horse in the barn, was
hungrily selling mouthfuls of the
fodder
The boy screamed for help, but no
one heard him. for the house was at
some distance, and his voice was
muffled. There was nothing that Of
fered a hold; the chute had been
made smooth in order that the hay
might slide through easily. He tried
to gain purchase by thrusting out
ward with his elbows, SO that he
might lift his feet, but it was of no
use he could not even kick. The
horse, in pulling away the fodder,
nipped at his toes.
Whoa! Stop that" yelled the boy
But the horse naturally continued
to eat his breakfast, and more than
once nipped-as If purposely-Hal's
legs and toes.
After few minutes the farmer
entered the building
and heard his son sobbing and call
ing, Father, come quick Jim Is eat
ing me-
Where are you?" shouted the far
mer.
I'm the chute"
Back, Jim!' roared the man: and
the horse obeyed
Mr.. Perry hastily turned Jim loose
In the yard, and, Selling a rope, \
leaped upstairs Making a moose, he /
let 1t down to the small boy, who
slipped it under his arms, and ceased
% cry as be felt himself being
drawn safely up.--Youth's COmpan-
on.

To Play Ninety-Six.

The Abbeville High School football
team will play Ninety-Six here Fri
day, November Fl, game called at 4
p. m. Ninety-Six is reported to have
strong team and the game promises
to be good one. The local eleven
has been playing great football r.
Gently and is well trained an
ton, rejecting much credit on Ca.
Swetenburg. The attendance at these
games has been small and the kind
of football put up by Abbeville mer-
its better patronage. Support is just
as necessary to a winning team as
star players and if the local High
School is to make name for itself in
athletics the people of Abbeville
should attend the games.

". S. STOPS SHIPMENT
OF ARMS FROM BELGIUM
AND SPAIN TO MEXICO

Washington, Nov. 15.-Large or
ders for arms and ammunition, placed
by Mexico in Belgium and Spain, in
preparation for the possibility of
American Intervention, came to light
today when the state department let
it become known that the govern
ment had taken steps to prevent their
shipment. w..
The charge d'affaires of the United
States embassy in Brussels has
protested, under instructions, that
shipment of the munitions would be
in violation of the international
arms convention. AS Spain is not
a party to the agreement which was
designed to aid in keeping the peace
of the world during the after-the-
war transition period, no such direct
action is probable at Madrid.
The order in Belgium was placed
with the Fabrique Nationale d'Arms
at Liege, probably under the direc-
tion of Candido Aguilar, Mexican
minister of foreign affairs and Presi7
dent, Carranza's son-in-law, who
went to Europe recently, after stop
ping here and placing a wreath on
George Washington's tomb at Mount
Vernon.
The orders in Spain, which includ-
ed rifles, millions of rounds of am
munition, and a large number of
machine guns, were negotiated thru
the Mexican minister there, Elieseo
Arrendondo, former ambassador to
the United States, and President Car
ranza's nephew.

CARS IS SUSTAINED

Washington, Nov. 16.-Southern
congressman today successfully rout-
ed all attempts to attach to the pend
ing railroad bill in the house any pro-
vision to infringe the, rights of the
southern states to "Jim Crow" cars.
In their fight they were aided by
members from other parts of the
country. By a vote Of 142 to IL a
proposed amendment by Representa-
tive Madden, Illinois, Republican,
was voted down and out Of the meas
ure. ~
Southern members in unison at
tackled the proposal telling the
house it would disturb conditions in
the south seriously and cause fric-
ton between the races. Representa-
tive Crisp, Democrat, Georgia,
brought the debate to an end with
a motion to strike out the. proposed
amendment and his motion pre-
vailed. ..-'. .
Representative Stevenson,of South
Carolina, told the house the south
handled its negro problem better
than the north, as was evidenced
by the recent riots, and Representa-
tive Moore. of Virginia, reminded
the members that the supreme court
of the United States has sustained
the right of the states to o.ovide
separate accommodations for The

HITCHCOCK TO SEE
PRESIDENT WILSON
Conference Planned to Determine
Course. of Administration in Last
Stages of Treaty Fisht-io
Learn Those Reservations
That Will Be Accepted.

Washington, Nov. 16.-A CONFER
ence between President Wilson and
Senator Hitchcock, administration
leader in the senate contest over the
peace treaty, is expected tonight to
determine largely the fate OF the
treaty and plans for adjournment OF
the special session of congress.
Senator Hitchcock will see the pres
ideht before the senate reconvenes to
take up the final reservations to the
treaty and expects to obtain from
him a final word on the form of re-
servations he will accept. The con-
ference was arranged at Senator
Hitchcock's request after seeing a
number of Democratic leaders.
Definite outcome of the treaty con-
troversy this week-either by dead
lock for reserved ratification, the ad-
journment of the special session of
congress tonight seemed assured.
With the cloture rule in effect, the
senate tomorrow will take up the two
remaining committee reservations
and after disposal of dozens Of in
dividual reservations reach the last
stage of ratification resolution. With
final action on the treaty, adjourn
mentr sine die of the session, which be-
gan May 10, is planned, before the
new and long session begins two
weeks from tomorrow. All members
are hoping for a few days rest.
House to Mark Time.
.-.s What the house will do while the
senate is in the last stage of the
treaty fight had not been determined
today. The railroad bill will be taken
up again tomorrow and probably
passed by tomorrow night or Tuesday.
Not much will be done after that. If
forced to wait for the senate's action
on the treaty, house leaders hope
members may leave under a gentle
mans recess agreement"
