the province, but as lawyer made
the reputation of the Philadelphia bar.
This was accomplished when he was

A member of the st. Louis bar tells
the following story: A lawyer Of Mis-
souri,, who shall be called Smith, was
seized suddenly with an attack Of
temporary insanity while travelling
across that state.
Stepping OF the train at a county
seat where he was quite unknown. he
walked into the bank and requested
the cashier to grant him permission to
warm himself by the stove. The cash.

stranger of culture and refinement
who seemed confused about something

and then they closed, and the soul of
Alexis Paulvitch passed into the keep
ing of the demons who had long been
awaiting it.
The boy struggled to his feet as
sisted by Akut. For two hours, under
his instructions, the ape worked upon
the knots that secured his friends
wrists. Finally they gave up their Sc
cret, and the boy was free.
He cut the cord that still dangled
from the apes body. Then he opened
one of his bags and drew forth some
garments.
His plans had been we'll made. He
did not consult the beast, which did all
that he directed. Together they skunk
from the house, but no casual observer
might have noted that one of them

the Declaration of Independence was
signed In 1915, with John Hancock at

THEIR SENTENCES
Gregory Urges Clemency for Those
Convicted for Espionage-Presi-
dent May Take Action Upon Re-
commentator Before Sail
ing for France.

Washington, Marrh 2.-Attorney
General Gregory has recommended
to resident Wilson communication of
the sentences of persons convicted
under the Espionage Act, a review
of which cases by officials of the De-
partment of Justice has revealed that
the evidence of wilful intent to vio-
late the law was too circumstantial to
warrant the carrying out of the full
sentences fixed by the trial jury.
Officials of the Department of JUS
tice, in making public tonight Mr..
Gregory's letter TO the President,
said communication had been recon-
mended for several hundred persons
now held in prison, but they were
unable to even estimate the number.
Names of the persons involved were
not given out.
Mr.. Gregory said in his letter to
the President that the reviewing com
mission in the department were ex-
amining the records in the cases of
all the other convictions under the
espionage law, and that recommen-
dations as to these would be SUBJ
misted later. The President was ex-
pected to act on the cases now before
him within short time, possibly be-
fore sailing for France next Wednes-
day.

SYRIAN SPEAKS.

Mr.. Boyajian, a native Syrian,
came to Abbeville on Saturday, and
on yesterday he spoke twice to the
people in the interest of the cam
paign for relief Of the people in the
Near East. In the morning he spoke
to the pupils and teachers of the
Baptist Sunday School and in the
evening he spoke to a union meeting
of the different congregations at a
meeting held in the Methodist church.
Much information was given to those
who are expected to help in the cam
paign, and the people who heard the
speaker were greatly pleased with
him.
Mr.. Boyajian came to Abbeville
on the invitation of Rev. n. r. Plax-
co, who has charge Of the campaign
to raise two thousand dollars in this
county. He is one of the accredited
speakers of the Syrian-Armenian Re-
lief Commission.

Delegates from the different Sec

House on last Friday, in accordance
with the notice given, to discuss the
matter of reducing the acreage in
cotton. The meeting was well at
tended, full house greeting Chair
man Stark when the meeting was
called to order.
The delegates discussed the sug-
gestions made as to the signing of
the pledge prepared at the New Or
leans meeting, and this discussion
brought out views widely divergent
as to the best plan to be followed.
One of the farmers thought that the
acreage reduction was a good thing,
but he didn't think it applied to
Abbeville County, as he suggested
that we were not now growing our
part of the cotton. Another thought

PUPILS TO ATTEND
UNDER COMPULSION
Hamblin Bill Ready for Governors
Signature-Term of Four Months.
Appropriation Of 100000 to Pay
Officers to See That Children
Are in School.

Columbia, S. c., March 1.-The
house yesterday morning accepted
the senate's amendments to the
Hamblin bill, which provides four
months, or 80 days, compulsory at
tendance and appropriates 100000 to
pay attendance officers to compel
compliance with the provisions of
the act.
The law applies to all children be-
tween the ages of eight and IA years.
No truant officer is to be paid in ex-
cess of $1,000 per year, and women
are eligible for this position. Where
INDECENT parents are unable to pur-
chase books for their children it is
incumbent upon the county board of
education to purchase these books for
the children. Any child living more
than two and one-half miles from a
school, or any child under IL years
of age living more than two miles
from a school, is exempt from the
provisions of the act, unless a school
wagon route runs within one mile of
the home. Parents or guardians who
violate the provisions of the law are
punishable by a fine of not less than
SIS nor more than $40 for each Of
fense. 1t is incumbent upon teachers
to assist in the enforcement of the
law. Failure to so assist is punish
able by a fine of SIS for each offense,
to be deducted from the salary of
the teacher thus convicted.
The senate amended the bill so as
&c allow districts wishing compul-
sorry attendance period in excess of
four months to apply the compulsory
feature for a longer period where
the majority of the qualified electors
SO petition. The senate amendments
were adopted by the house by vote
of 6S to 33.

SWETENBURG DECORATED

On last Friday, at Camp Jackson
thirty French decorations, awarded
for conspicuous bravery on the fielo
of battle, were awarded to officers
and men of the 371st. Regiemnt, the
presentation being by Col. Perry L
Miles, commanding officer of the regi.
ment.
Among those thus highly honored
was Lieut.. G.. Carol Swetenburg
of Abbeville, who has just returned
home after seeing hard service in
France.
The State of Saturday has the fol.
lowing to say of the honors won by
the young soldiers:
GAIL the French decorations award
ed were recommended by General
Goybet, who was in command of the
One Hundred and Fifty-seventt
French Division, with which the
Three Hundred and Seventy-frst was
brigaded. The first presentations
were made last October by General
Goybet at Breuperes, France. AT
this time 60 awards were made, one
of which was the medal of the Le-
gion of Honor, which was presented
to Maj. J. B. Pate. Several Croix de
Guerre were also awarded.
In Brest, shortly before the regi-
ment sailed, the regimental colors
were decorated, and at the same time
individuals were decorated, with the
Croix de Guerre, and American de-
corations were also awarded. The
colors were decorted by Vice Admir-
al Movau."

PART OF RUSSIA IN
AN AWFUL PLIGHT
State Department Makes Report
Public From Refugees.
Party of British, French, Bel
gian and Italian Citizens
Passed Through.

Washington, Feb. 28.-Additional
light on the situation in the portions
of Russia under Bolshevik control is
given by a summary of reports obtain
ed recently from a number of refu-
gees who passed through Helsingfors
on their way from Moscow to Stock
holm. The summary was made pub
lie today by the state department be-
cause of the various conflicting ac-
counts of conditions which have been
received recently.
"The party of Helsingfors", said
the summary, "was composed of
French, Belgian and Italian citizens,
most of them Red Cross workers. The
reports all agree as to the excessive
cost of all necessities and the scarcity
of food. Dog meat is quoted at four
rubles ($2) pound, horse meat at Is
rubles per pound, pork at 60 rubles
and bread at Is rubles. The coun-
try is practically stripped of manu-
factured articles, especially warming
apparel, and all grain and supplies
are requiusitioned by the soviet gov
ernment from peasants who receive
nothing in return.
"Typhus is reported to be spread
ing, 1000 new cases being reported
at Moscow weekly and the hospitals
are unable to take care of them.
Lack of milk has resulted in many
deaths of children from starvation.
The food situation in Russia is very
bad and the food is distributed in
three categories, a full portion to
those doing heavy work, a half por-
ton to employees of the soviet gov
ernment and private houses and gen.
eral Office work and one-fourth por-
tion to people not engaged in any
occupation.
The portions depend on the supply
at hand, a full portion generally be-
ing one pound of bread daily. Sol
diers get an army portion of two
pounds of bread, half pound meat
daily and an additional monthly al
lowance of two and one-half pounds
of sugar and one and one-half pounds
of fats.
GAIL clothes and other necessities
IN only be secured through permis-
sion Of government by cards and at
fixed prices"

FARMERS HELD MEETING
IN COURT HOUSE LAST FRIDAY

that the merchants and bankers
should now give notice that they will
extend credit to no man for the pur,
pose of procuring bread and meat af-
ter 1920. Some thought that acre
age reduction was the thing, but as
they had rented out their lands, they
would be compelled to leave the mat,
ter to their tenants.
After much discussion, it was re
solved that the farmers of this coun.
ty be requested to plant not more
than twelve acres of cotton to the
horse, and that they be asked to
sign pledge to this effect. Nothing
was determined as to the price at
which cotton should be held, and ii
seemed to be the sense of the meet
ing that farmers should make their
own decision as to the amount of
fertilizers to be used.
