TO ORGANIZE TWO
POULTRY ASSOCIATIONS.

People over the county interested
in pure bred poultry will be glad
to know that there is on foot a plan
to organize two Breeds Associations
of pure bred poultry.
Mr.. R. H. Wilkins, State Poultry
agent will be in the county Wednes-
day and Thursday and will discuss
the pros and cons of an associa-
tion with the members OF the Brown
lee and Cold Springs Home Demon
stration clubs. These two clubs have
good beginning for. an association
in that almost all of the members
are not raising standard bred fowls
and, something that is still more
important there is a Splendid spirit
of cooperation among the people.
Mr.. Wilkins will tell of the bene-
fits derived from such an organiza-
ton and will hold a rouno table
discussion on poultry problems.
Come, and help launch the project.
Bring your problems and let US as
sist you.

ARMENIA is RECOGNIZED
BY THE u. S.

Washington, Apr. 24.-Armenia
was formally recognized today as an
;ndependant fepublic by the United
States.
Similar action has been decided
upon by the a lied conference at San
Reno. The American recognition
was in the form of note addressed
by Secretary Colby to Mr.. Pasder-
madam, Washington representative
of the Armenian republic.
Notice of the recognition also was
communicated formally to the diplo-
matte corps abroad and to the allied

ed later by international action.

diplomatic representative to be sent
to Armenia from the United States.

Mexico City, April 25,-The de-

A summary of the seditious activi-

FURTHER PURCHASES
FOREST LANDS URGED

Washington, April 24.-Further
purchases by the government of for
est lands in the southern Appalachian
and White mountains as a means OF
preventing future timber shortage is
advocated by the national forest re-
servation commission.
"The supply of spruce in the east
ern United States, available for paper
stock is nearly exhausted" a report
it has just issued said.
Eastern building material is no
longer adequate to fully meet indus
trial demands, and the future supply
of hardwoods is threatened"
The commission suggested that
lands not suitable for agriculture
of which there are 3O,OOO,OOO acres
in the eastern mountain districts
be used for growing timber. Of this
vast territory, 100000 acres al
ready have been purchased by the
government.
An appropriation of s2,O00,0O0
per annum for five years was re-
commended to carry out the addi-
tional program.

c. P. HAMMOND SPEAKS
In the Methodist Church Here Sun
day Morning in Interest of the
Textile Industrial Institute A
Spartanburg.

c. P. Hammond, of Spartanburg,
one of the leading business men of
his home city, who of course went
from Abbeville, was here Sunday
and spoke in the Methodist church
at II o'clock in the interest of the
Textile Industrial Institute, a
school founded at Spartanburg by
Rev. D. E. Camak, of the South Car
olina Conference.
The school is designed for the
training of promising boys and girls
from the mill and industrial villages.
There is large dormitory where
they are furnished lodging and board
with class rooms for their studies.
\ model mill has also been construc
ted. These boys and girls attend
classes for one week, at which they
take the ordinary studies yaugnt in
other schools, and the next, week
they work in the mill doing enough
work to pay their living expenses.
and being taught about textile mat
ters. The plan is to train the most
promising of the boys from the va
rious sections of the state so that
they may go back into their several
communities and become leaders
among their own peoplej
The school is under the direction
of the South Carolina Conference
but is open to the public. No ques-
tions are asked about what denomi-
nation person belongs to when he
applies for entrance. 1t is supported
by contributions from the various
mills of the state, and by other in
dnstrial enterprises, by contribu
tions from philanthropists, and by
the Conference.
Mr.. Hammond has taken a great
interest ip the founding and devel-
opment of the plant, and the ap-
probation of the founders has been
shown by naming the dormitory,
Hammond Hall.
Mr.. Hammond spoke last night
to the people at the church in Alb
beville Cotton Mill village.
A good sum for the school was
contributed at each place.
