eagle came out from under some
timber and made the attack upon
him. He brought it to Gaffney,
where it was weighed and measured
by C. C. Kirby, who has it now on
exhibition, and crowds of people have
visited the store Friday and Satur-
day, as nothing Of the kind has ever
been seen in this section. 1t weighed

CAR FORCES MAN THRU
PLATE GLASS WINDOW
Mack B. Moore, After .Crankins
Auto in Gear is Pushed Thru
Plate Glass Window Of Phil
son & Henry's Store
Slightly Injured -.

Mack B. Moore had the unique
and somewhat dangerous experience
of being pushed through a plate
glass window Saturday night, at Z
o'clock, when he cranked his Chew
rolet, while it was in gear; and
standing in front of Philson and
Henry's store. Moore's only injury
was a slight cut on the hand. Two
big plate glass windows, costing over
$3.50 were demolished and the mar
BILE facing to the window was bro
ken. That Moore was not seriously
injured is considered remarkable.
In the car at the time Of the acci-
dent was Miss Pearl Dansby, of Be
thia. She was uninjured though
much of the broken glass fell around
her.
Mr.. Moore says that he left the
car out of gear and that he does not
know how it came to be in gear. 1t
was standing with the front wheels
few feet from the curb at the time
he cranked it. and had sufficient mo-
mentum when it started.to jump the
curb and after crossing the sidewalk
jump about 10 inches into the show
window. All the time Moore was
in front Of the car, which was going
too fast for him to move to one side.
The engine stopped after the front
wheels were up in the window. The
car was uninjured. Both windows
were covered by insurance..
Moore was hurled far back into
the window when the glass gave way,
falling amid pile of broken glass
and showering down on him came
jagged pieces of glass.

Abbeville now has the opportunity
to secure hospital.
Eight men, headed by DR.: ]. c..
Hill, have secured the Williams Col
lege property on Lane Street and
propose to turn this building into a
Memorial Hospital, provided the citi-
zens of AbbeviIle county back the
movement, and there is every reason
to believe that the project will meet
with the hearty approval and Coop
Grafton of the people.
Drs. j. C. Hill, G. c. Gambrell, j..
r. Power and G. A. Neuffer and
Messrs. s. q. Rosenberg, G. II. Nc
Murray and D. n. Hill are the men
who have secured the Williams Col
lege property and viii offer II tor
use as a Memorial Hospital. Plans
for the organization Of Memorial
Hospital Association to take charge
of the proposition are already under
foot. It is said that SO, will f.
nance the scheme.
DR.. J. C. Hill first proposed the
scheme and secured the help Of his
colleagues in the matter, who at
once associated themselves with him
in the movement. The need for a
hospital in Abbeville is patent and
it is thought that the people of$this
city and county, will get back Of the
project to man. The building will
be remodelel and thoroughly reno
vated. Large porches will extend
around the wings of the building.
There will be about 20 rooms in the
hospital, an operating room, diet
kitchen and offices. There will be
charity wards for both white and
black. One of the special features
will be the infant and maternity
wards.
The Civic League Of Abbevilley Is
expected to- endorse the project and
it is understood that several secret
-sa.
societies have funds that can be d.
rected to the aid Of such an institu-

There is in Abbeville Home Ser
vice Section of the American Reo
Cross. This section is in charge OF
Mrs. M. T. Coleman and is success
fully functioning to meet the prob
LENS of demobilization. Now that
the war is over it will be this section
of the Red Cross with which the
public viii be most concerned. For
a wear or more the home service
must be run on a war basis. After
this situation has been met there will
open up to the public an oportunlty
for broader and bigger development
There are eight sections Of the
Red Cross and the Home Service Sec
ton is one of these. During the war
other sections were more prominently
before the public for their work at
the time was more important. Now
the Home Service Section comes to
the forefront. Beyond a vague real
ization that there is section OF the
Red Cross which has interested itself
in looking after soldiers allotments
and the allowances Of the service
men very few people have any con-
sception of the task which has been
undertaken. Two years ago home
service was only an idea with the
Red Cross leaders. But few people
were conscious that family life was
threatened by the war. To help fam
lilies through the uncertain war times
was "a hard job. But to those who
realized the menace to health, the IL
nancial straits, the loneliness and dis
content, the lack of discretion, accu-
rate information, legal assistance,
the many and varied problems that
confronted the families Of the men
who were in the army fighting for
their cuntry it was a plain duty. The

today as to the treasury's attitude

situation twas met and the Home
Service Section came into being.
Mrs. Coleman has charge of this
wark in Abbeville and Abbeville
County. Many and varied are
the problems that she has to solve.
If a soldier, parent or relative Of a
soldier or friend receives news that
is cause for worry there is the home
service to 60 to for help and infor-
nation and the Home Service obtains
results. The Red Cross works in
close cooperation with the govern
ment and in all its work to help the
soldiers family. There are instances
where the government is unable to do
anything for the discharged soldier
and the Home Service steps in and
lends q hand to see that no suffering
is caused because of ponderous ma
chinery of the government cannot be
set moving.
Mrs. Coleman is anxious that any
problem relating to the soldier, the
soldiers family or home; the question
of education of disabled soldiers, the
securing of allotments, or of the $50
bonus; in fact any problem that can
not be solved by the individual be-
cause of lact of information or other
reason be brought to her. She prom
ises to do all in her power to help.
The Red Gross has splendid organi-
zation for this work and has an ex-
cellent record for prompt and eff
cient service. -s -
