They may be opponents of the pres
ent courtmartial system In the army
or they may be enemies of the league
Of nations plan. more likely the latter.
At the time that President Wilson de-
clined to see an Irish committee rela-
tive to the question OF injecting an
independent Ireland into the peace
treaty. Senator Borahs office was
crowded for hours far out
into, the corridor by most dignified
looking group of rudy faced men who
looked like they might be able to trace
their ancestry back to Ireland.
Senator Poindexter was much
sought during the last weeks Of his
stay in Washington on account Of the
fact that he was to become chairman
of the senate naval affairs commit
tee, and then his callers grew from
groups into multitudes after he be-
came SO active in opposing the league
Of nations.
The next most interviewed men in
their order are: Senator Medill Nc
Cormick, Illinois; Hiram johnson,
California, ana Lodge, Massachusetts,
Mccormick popularity grows largely
out Of the one fact, however. that he
was formerly a very well known
newspaper man. which leads to his Of
flee being made headquarters for the

berlain of Oregon, Senator Borah Of
Idaho and Senator Poindexter OF
Washington.
1t Is an undisputed fact that these
three senators have been the most
sought Of the nations legislators by
newspaper men in the last few months
and Chamberlain and Borah have an
equally good score for seeing COM
mittees and industrials outside the
professional class of interviewers.
There are days when Senator Cham
berlain's office looks like the war de-
partment might look just after the
sounding of general fire alarm. or
perhaps, better still, after an assem-
bly, call had been sounded.
The Oregon senator's numerous
clashes with the war department have
caused him to be regarded as the
friend of the enlisted soldier and
champion of a square deal for the
downtrodden officers. Complaints OF
all kinds come from all parts Of the
United States to him from soldiers
who, though they never lived in Ore
gon, sign themselves your constitu-
emit" At one time there were five
one-legged soldiers in his office from
nearby hospital to present a griev-
ance to Senator Chamberlain.
There is considerably more of a
variety to Senator Borah's callers

NEW ISSUES CAUSE
DELAY.0F TREATY
Commissions Work Hard to Complete
Tasks-Germans Must Pay-Lea-
que of Nations Covenant Again
to Be Considered Article
by Article.

Paris, March 23.-After a week of
strong pressure and heavy demand
on their strength, the principals in
tbe peace conference took advantage
of the Sunday lull for a comparative
rest. Premier Lloyd George made
rip to, Fontainebleau for fresh air
and repose, while President Wilson
and party motored to the war zone, me
where they inspected the scenes of
some of$he most important battles.
While all the commissions strove
hard: during the week to comply with
the desire Of the council Of ten to
have all their reports ready by March
20 some of them were prevented from
accomplishing their tasks by the de-
velopment of unexpected issues and
by the necessity Of coordinating
their work. =,
The council of ten appears to be
anxious that it, should be known that
it is, not the delay in the completion
of the work of the commission of the
league of nations that is holding back
the peace treaty. Other commissions
handling subjects even more essential
to: the treaty&itself are working SIM
ultaneously and any one of them may
beiheld responsible for the delay. =
The reparatians commission has
finally agreed what Germany can and
must pay but. a. 6ontentiont difficult of
settlement has arisen as to allotment
of damages to the different nations
and over the preferential treatment
claimed BY some countries. g..
The league Of nations commission,
which will resume consideration of
the covenant article by article tomor-
row, still has to dispose of the amend
ments proposed by the French re-
garding the maintenance of force
to protect members of the league
from sudden attacks and by the JAP
anese for equality of treatment Of
the nationals of all league members,

COAL PRODUCTION
PLANS SUBMITTED
Government Seeks Cooperation of
Association-Co Commission Consist
ing of Cabinet Member and
Representation of Producers
~ to Settle Questions.

Washington, March 23.-Plans for
more effective cooperation between
the government and the coal industry
with expected benefits resulting to
the general public have been submit
ted in referendum form to the men,
ers of the national coal association,
representing three-fourths of the
country's ,bituminous production. The
fuel administration in making this an
nouncement today said the plans were
the outgfowth of conferences held by
Administrator Garfield with coal op-
orators and:mine workers.
The plans which the fuel admins
tration said were submitted to Presi-
dent Wilson before :, his return to
France provide that during the "per-
iod of readjustment and thereafter
a commission consisting of a member
of the cabinet and representatives of
operators and miners shall consider
all problems affecting the industry.
The commission would act as advis.
ory board in matters of cost of pro-
duction, labor conditions, transpor-
tation and other problems of the in
dustry.
Officials of the national coal asso-
citation, it was said, have urged oper.
ators in all producing fields to study
the proposals and advise the admins
tration directorate of their wishes.
The matter will be taken up at a
meeting of the associations directors
in Cleveland April 4. , -

VISITING AT BRENAU.

Miss Victoria Howie and Miss
Mary Greene went over to Gaines
vile Saturday and spent until Sum-
day afternoon with Miss Ruth Howie,
student at Brenau College. Satur-
day evening they attended a dinner
given by one of the college societies,
which was pleasant affair. In their
travels the young ladies saw many

NEW HOTEL MAN.

The news that w. Harold McFall
is to assume the management and to
become the proprietor of the Eureka
Hotel will be good news to. the peo-
pie of Abbeviile and to the travelling
public, with whom Mr.. McFall is very
popular. Everybody will regret, how
ever. that Mr.. and Mrs. Jameson
have decided to give up the hotel and
move away. They have run it most
acceptably and have made many
friends among the people of the city
who will part with them reluctantly.
Mr.. McFall, as we understand it,
expects to take charge of the Hotel
about 18th of April. He will be in
Abbeville again this week perfecting
arrangements for opening up on the
date stated.
Mr.. McFall still owns the farm
which he purchased some years ago.
He kept it because he knew that a
man who once lived in Abbeville al
ways comes back, unless he dies too
soon, and he expected to live his al
lotted time. The farm will be run in
connection with the hotel, and from
it will come many things to make the
tables attractive to people who are
hungry, as well as to those who like
good things to eat on general prin-
ciples. -.

A VISITING VETERAN

Mr.. Earl w. Daniels, of Anderson,
spent Saturday night and Sunday
with his friend, Gottlob A. Neuffer.
Mr.. Daniels was a sergeant in the
Machine Gun Company, of the 11sth
Infantry, and was severely wounded.
He was in the thick of the fight and
was wounded nine times in the space
of ten minutes. The young man suf-
fered terribly and was among the
first of the wotnded to be sent home.
He has entirely recovered and is
back to normal enough to enjoy the
many pretty girls to look on him as
a hero.
Mr.. Daniels went back to Ander-
son Sunday afternoon through the
country with Mr.. Neuffer and Misses
Sarah and Margaret Perrin.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

DR.. R. M. Stevenson, of the Asso-
ciate Reformed Presbyterian, and Mr.
R. S. Galloway, the business manager
of that. good paper, were in the city
on Friday on business. They spent
awhile in the office of The Press and
Banner. Mr.. Galloway plans to in
stall type-setting machine in his
office shortly. He likes the idea of
having it operated by a good-looking
red-headed girl, which he imagines
will keep the boys in the office at
their tasks more regularly.
Mrs. Stevenson came along with
DR.. Stevenson and spent busy day
shopping in the stores, and in ad.
miring the fine goods and beautiful
hats which our merchants carry.

Cut His Throat With a Razor at the
Residene of Mr.. J. c. Mabry Fri
day Morning Health
Thought to Be Cause.

Geo. G. Groce, a painter recently
residing at Ware Shoals, committed
! suicide at the residence of Mr.. J. C.
Mabry, near the Brick, House, on
Friday morning. Groce had been
painting in that neighborhood , for
sometime, but had gonesaway about
thirty days ago. On Thursday even
ing he came to the home of Mr., Ma
bry and spent the night, stating that
he was going to a hospital on Friday
morning.
Friday morning Groce was up, and
Mr.. Mabry saw him go into a stable
near the house. He paid no attention
to this, but in little while his son
ran to him informing him that Groce
was killing himself. When Mr.. Ma
bry reached his side, Groce was
slashing his throat with a razor.
Mabry spoke to him, but he did not
answer.
The deceased had been in been in
bad health for sometime, and this
perhaps was responsible for his rash
act. :
Magistrate Hollingsworth, acting
as coroner, held an inquest Friday
afternoon. The body of the deceas-
ed was examined by DR.. Jack Pressly.
After hearing all the testimony a
verdict of suicide was rendered.
At the time of his death Groce had
on his person about S2.40. Whether
he had other money is not known.
The county authorities took charge
of his body, turned it over. to the
Harris and Calvert undertaking es-
tablishment, and it was buried by
them.

INCOME TAXES
SHOW INCREASES
First Quarterly Collection Reported
to Treasury-Number Paid in Full.
Total in Sixty-three of Sixty
Four Districts Amounts to
Over Billion Dollars.

Washington, March 22.-Collec-
tions from the first quarterly install
ment Of income and profit taxes due
last Saturday amounted to s1,OO1,-
244,O00 in-63 of the Ga collection
districts, Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Roper announced today.
This figure probably will be increas-
ed by later returns, since some reve-
nue. collectors have not yet reported
their final tabulations. --. =.
This is more, than the treasury ex-
pected from. this installnent and
without complete analysis officials
believed it is accounted for by the
fact that many citizens paid their
tax in full instead of taking advan-
tage of the installment privilege.
The second New York district res
ported $145,551,O 900, the biggest col
lection of any district. All but five
districts showed decided increases
over the twenty-five per cent of past
years income tax collection.
The largest increase in collections
over last years record was. shown in
North Dakota and, the eighth Illinois
districts, where there was,a ;:24o per
keent advance. The fourth North Caro-
Flina district showed a 155 per cent
increase and the fifth North. and
South Carolina districts each showed
125 per cent increase. ..,.
An examination will be undertaken
later to ascertain whether the total
I yield from income and profit taxes

approximately $4,OOO,OOO,OOo.

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
First Case in This Section Appeared
In the. Bethia Neighborhood-
Victim Remained in Stupor
Twenty-four Days.

DR.. Hunter, of Bethia, was in the
city on Saturday and> reported the
first case of sleeping sickness in this
section. The victim is Mr.. Hiram
Gable, of his neighborhood, and re-
sides on the plantation of W. W.
Bradley, -.... +, \. -
Mr.. Gable had severe, case of the
flu sometime ago. He got up but
ccc:,ti.ued to suffer from a severe
2cngh. His eyes were blood-shot and
watery. One tday after he had been
up a few days he went to an adjoin-
ing plantation to look after some
land which he was to work. He re-
turned, and states that the last he
remembers he was taking off his shoes
preparatory to going to bed. He went
to bed and remained there for twen-
ty-four days in a kind of stupor, or
asleep. He spoke to no one during
the time, but seemed so far conscious
as to be able to take medicine when
the doctor and his wife were ready
to administer it. Further than this,
he seemed unconscious.
DR. Hunter tells us that he ran
low temperature during all this time
with some of the symptoms of ty-
phoid, but with less feveri
At the end of the twenty-four days
he showed signs of improvement and
he is now able to get up and walk
about the house. He shaved himself
on Friday, the doctor tells US, and
walked out into the yard. He is ex-
spected to fully recover.
