BOUND OVER TO COURT.

Winston Chiles and Lewis Chiles
were before Magistrate Hollings-
worth on a preliminary hearing on
Thursday charged with burglary. 1t
is charged that these negroes, who
now live near Honea Path, and who
are sons of Arch Chiles, formerly a
well-digger about Abbeville, entered
the tailor-shop of Ed. Gilliard some
time ago and stole therefrom a large
quantity of clothing which was in the
shop for repairs. The negroes were
arrested at Honea Path and most of
the clothing recovered. They admit
stealing the clothing, it is understood
hH5 deny that they broke into the
building in the night. They will be
bound over to court to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury on such charge
as may be found by that body at the
next term of the court.

MAY NOT ACCEPT
SHIPS FROM Chill
United States Awaits Full Facts
Repair Work Needed-Action May
Not Be Justified if Vessels Can
Be Used Only Until
Peace.

Washington, March 12.-The Am
erican government may not accept
the 100000 or more tons of German
shipping in Chilean waters allotted to
it by the allied shipping commission
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board said tonight final action would
depend upon both the condition OF
the grant and the ships.
Mr.. Hurley explained that the orig
inal proposal made when he was in
Europe was for the United States to
take over the ships and use them un-
til the peace treaty was signed when
title to them would be determined.
This offer was refused by Mr.. Hurley
who believed that their use for so
short a period would not justify the
board in repairing them.
information that the ships finally
had been allotted to the. United States
has just been received at the State
department. - .- ...
Mr.. Hurley Immediately ordered an
examination of the vessels to deter
mine extent of repairs that would
have to be made. If the vessels are
for American use only. until peace is
proclaimed, some officials said they
would not be acceptable as it would
require several months to put the
craft into commission. The shipping
board, has not yet been advised on
this point. =.
Three hundred thousands tons of
German transatlantic shipping now
in German ports have been allocated
to. the United States. Most Of the
ships. are in good shape and they
I. viii be got out as soon as the Ameri-
can crews can be assembled and sent
to Germany. German ships laid up
in Peru and Uruguay were chartered
some time ago by the United States
and are in opeation.

LOAN CAMPAIGN
BEGINS IN APRIL
Victory Drive Will Be Started Next
Month-On For Three Weeks
Short Term Notes to Run For
Five Years Will Be
Issued.

Washington, March 1.-The Vic
tory Liberty Loan campaign will open
Monday, April 21, and close three
weeks later, Saturday, May 10.
Secretary Glass announced the
dates together with the fact that
short terms notes maturing in not
over five years would be issued in
stead of longer term bonds. The a.
mount of notes to be offered was not
disclosed but. it has been generally
understood that the loan would be
for a minimum of S5,000,000,OO0
with the treasury reserving the right
to accept all oversubscriptions.
Mr.. Glass said the interest rate and
the amounts to be exempted from
taxation would not be determined
until a week or two before the cam
paign as they would be based upon
financial conditions at that time. It
was estimated, however, that the
notes might bear interest in excess
Of a ia per cent, the interest rate
on the third and fourth loans.
"After studying financial condi-
tions in all part of the country" said
Mr.. Glass, "I have determined that
the interest of the United States
will best be served at this time by
the issuance of short term notes ra-
ther than of longer term bonds which
would have to bear the limited rate
of interest of 4 Ia per cent.
"The Victory Loan will therefore
take the form of notes Of. the United
States maturing in not over. five years
from the date of issue. ~.
-. Those notes which will be as the
Liberty Loan bonds, the direct prom
Use to pay of the United States, will
be issued both in registered and cou-
pom form, and the coupon notes will
be in final form and will have at
tached the interest coupons covering
the entire life of the notes. I am
hopeful that the notes in final en-
graved form will be ready for deliv-
cry by the opening of the campaign
on April 21."

LEAVING ABBEVILLE.

Mr.. and Mrs. r. Lawton Dargan
IRE leaving Abbeville this week for
their new home in Spartanburg, much
to the regret of their friends and
relatives in Abbeville.. ~ .
Mr.. Dargan came to Abbeville near
ly twenty-five, years ago. During
the years which followed he has been
popular personally and as business
man. He volunteered in the Spanish
American War and served in one of
the South Carolina regiments as a
commissioned officer. Returning to
Abbeville, he opened a business for
himself, and while he has not pros
pered as he might have hoped, he
has established a reputation for per-
sonal and business integrity equal
to that of any man in this city, or
elsewhere. His friends are many,
and they join is wishing him prosper
ity in his new home.
Mrs. .Dargan and the children of
the family will be missed. AS Miss
jamie Quarles, Mrs. Dargan was one
Of the pretty girls of Abbeville not
so long ago. Her popularity as a
young girl followed her as she grew
older. In her circle of friends she
has endeared herself to many people,
who are sorry to see her leave the
home of her childhood. The young
lady and the boys will be missed, too,
by the children in school, who are
their friends. 8
Mr.. Dargan becomes a representa-
tive. of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society. The success which has come
to him in the short time he has
worked for this company assures us
that he will succeed in his new field.
He is admirably fitted for a consci-
entious life insurance salesman. His
prospects will learn that they may
rely on what he says, and that he is
to be trusted in all matters. He will
have charge of considerable terri
tory and in it will be Abbeville
which means that he will come back
to US from time to time.

RHINE TO BE
OPENED TO WORLD
Commission Also Settles Status of
Kiel Canal by Opening it for All
Nations-Suggested That the
Rhine Be Controlled by Com
mission Similar to Danube.

Paris, March 12.-Recommenda-
ton that the navigation of the Rhine
be opened to all nations without dS-
elimination was made in a report to
the peace conference today by the
commission on the international Re-
gime of Waterways, Railways and
Ports. 1t is suggested that the
Rhine be controlled by a commission
similar to the Danube commission.
The status of the Kiel canal has
been settled by the Commission on
the basis of the freedom of use for
all nations for merchant vessels or
warships in time of peace. The ca
nal would continue under German
ownership and operation.
The question of the fortifcation of
the canal is left by the commission to
the decision of military and naval
experts.
The report of the commission was
not favorable to allowing the Belgian
claim that special duties be imposed
on German vessels. =
The report further recommended
that a general conference be held
within a year to deal with all ques-
tions pertaining to the navigation of
international waterways which are
regarded as too intricate or complex
to be settled finally within the linn
tied life of the peace conference.
