CHINESE BUSINESS
WARNS MEDDLERS

China's great commercial associa-
tions have jointly served notice on
the world that they will initiate a
boycott against any nation giving
assistance to either of the two fac
tions threatening the stability Of the
Chinese Republic.
There is no mistaking the attitude
of China's business men. They pos
sess a tremendous strength through
their associations or guilds uniting
those in the different lines of busi-
ness. A little more than a decade
ago this was thrown disastrously a.
gainst American trade. Seeing that
the struggle between the North and
the South is only leading to the
downfall of China as a nation and
that both factions will come to
agreement if outside forces do not
interfere to make a continuance Of
the strife possible, the Chinese bust
ness organizations have warned the
Powers that meddling by any one Of
them means economic retaliation
which could wreck such a counsry's
trade in China.
That Japan is directly aimed at in
this move was not concealed. Chinese
business cannot be deceived; and the
action of China's commercial organi-
cations shows how far national
consciousness has developed. The
pressure from the Powers is making
China into a united nation. In this,
Japan has had a large share since
1914, though this has been the very
opposite Of her intentions and her
treacheries during the Great War.

yay before the war that the Saliva
ion Army was doing great work.
But for the most part that work was
removed from our doors. We thought
of the Salvation Army and the slums
of the big cities in the same setting.
But the war in Europe brought home
to us the fact that the Salvation
Army touches the lives of US all.
Just as the Salvation Army in its
labors for mankind recognizes no
race, creed or color, so have the
campaign workers been recruited
from among all classes ,all religions
and all races. Serving actively on
the various local committees are
business men, clergymen, men and
women who have helped in the one
form on another by the Salvation
Army, stage people, society people,
teachers in fact there is scarcely a
business or calling which has not sew
eral representative among those
who will be active during Salvation
Army week. Among the most en-
thusiastic dorkers are soldiers re-
Gently returned from France who,
while over there, were aided and
comforted by the practical, common
sense methods of the Salvation
Army. War workers who labored
with other organizations overseas
also are helping in the Home Service
Fund.
Fraternal organizations have prom
ised active and substantial support.
The Elks particularly have become
interested in the Salvation Army's
efforts to raise funds. Bruce Camp
bell, the grand exalted ruler of the
order, has written to every one of
the 1 ! 300. lodges in the country in
structing their members to serve the
local committees in every way posi-
BILE "even to the extent of accepting
responsibility for putting the local
drives through"
We believe that the people of Abb
beville county will subscribe to the
Salvation Army fund. We know that
there have been many calls for mon
ey from many sources and this
county has not been backward about
giving its money. Especially is this
true Of the citizens Of Abbeville.
If you feel hesitant about sub
scribing ask returned overseas ser
vice man about the Salvation Army
and its work in France.

GERMANY AND THE LEAGUE.

Much hue and cry is being raised
in Germany over the hard terms of
the Peace Treaty. The leaders pro-
test that the terms of the document
do not closely follow the principles
aid down by the Fourteen Points" !"
Maximilian Harden, who usually gets
the right perspective OF things real
ICES that Germany is receiving justice
when he says:
"The peace conditions are not
harder than I expected. They were
unpleasant to the greater part = of
the people. But could one have real
ly expected them otherwise?
"The Germans have not given very
convincing mental guarantees dur
ing the six months since the revolu-
ton that they have changed their
system; on the contrary, the present
government and the press have used
the same methods of incitement, the
same tricks of bluff as under the old
rule of the petty nobility"
A number of papers in this coun-
try have raised the point that Ger
many has a real kick in being held
to the terms of the peace treaty and
at the same time is excluded from
the League of Nations. It must be
remembered that provision is made
in the treaty whereby nation can
Join the league. Germany can take
advantage of this when she has car
led out the provisions of the treaty
pertaining to her. She must show
herself worthy of membership. The
Allies have had enough of empty
pledges and unfulfilled promises from
the Huns.
Germany has many a long, hard
mile to travel before she is ready
for admission to the league. When
the time comes and she IS ready
there will be no trouble about he,
joining.

THE NEW ORDER.

There are many JneorleS III 'AS
world on the man-woman question:
but there are just two main schools
of thought. And they are whetner
the man shall pursue the woman or
whether the woman shall pursue the
man.
Over in Greenwood the latter
school of thought seems to flourish
at least in the younger set-and IN
that set is the question most agltateo
and agitating.
Just scan the following and note
carefully your reactions:
"The practice of certain girls from
the city of making daily, and some
times even nightly, visits to the cam
pus and buildings of the Bailey Mill
tary Institute has become so annoy
ing that the authorities at the instl-
tute have been forced to appeal TO
the police department for protection.
Chief Chandler has been requested
to station one of his men near the
school grounds, beginning today, and
to arrest those who, it is known have
no business driving about the cam
pus and interfering with the work
Of the cadets. The names of the gull
ty parties are already known.
These flying automobile trips have
been in vogue for several months,
but no action has been taken against
them because members Of the faculty
felt that they would be discontinued
voluntarily after the visits had be-
come generally known, especially
when the parents Of the girls learn
ed the facts. However, the practice
has become worse instead of better,
and the only relief now, the authorl-
ties say, is to have arrests made on
the charge of trespassing.
Afternoons and early evenings,
occasionally after dark as was the
case night before last, are selected as
the time by the girls to drive all
about the campus, waving and hol-
lering at the cadets, and at times ev-
en- going so far as to drive up to the
rear and actually enter the building.
1t has proved to be great sport to the
young ladies, judging from their hill
arious mood on each trip, but it has
not had the desired effect on the ca
diets, that is, from the standpoint of
the members of the faculty, it has
not been conducive to study and
good behavior, two of the main
things in the curriculum of military
school.
At the last session of the South
Carolina General Assembly a bill
was passed making it a misdemeanor
for boys to loiter around the prem
ises Of school or college for girls.
The author of the measure evidently
has never investigated conditions
here or he would have added a clause
applying to girls-especially a few
Greenwood girls Index-Journal,

Shades of the cavemen, King Ar
thur and his Knights, the Chevahers

we bound in these perilous times?
Are petticoats to metamorphose in
to pants. Is Hero to swim the Hell

have seen in these columns enthusi-
astic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by
Middlebury residents Would these
prominent people recommend a rem
edy that had not proven reliable?
Would they confirm their statements
after years had elapsed if personal ex-
perience had not shown the remedy
to be worthy of endorsement? The
following statement should carry CON
viction to the mind of every Middle
bury reader.
Mrs. John Signor, 81 Seymour St,
Middlebury, gave the following ac-
count of her experience on June 10,
1911: II had torturing pains in my
back and through. my kidneys.
bought Doan's Kidney Pills at Shell
don's Drug Store and they benefited me
quickly. They also strengthened my
kidneys"
NO TROUBLE SINCE
On September IS, 1916, Mrs. Signor
said: Kidney trouble has never re-
turned since l used Doan's Kidney
Pills. l confirm what l said in their
praise and recommend them whenever
l have an opportunity"
