A Visit to Abbeville

. l. was a pleasure on last Sabbeth
to worship with the A. R. P's at Alb
bevi!le. On invitation of Mr.. T. V.
Miller, who was taking DR.. Parkin-
son down to preach for the Presby-
terians, who just now are without
pastor, the writer and two other
members of his family took seats in
Mr.. Miller's Maxwell. It was the
Communion Sabbath at the A. r. P.
church. The pastor, Rev. NJ. R. Plax-
co, was doing his own preaching We
very much enjoyed the service.
Sweet and simple. The pastor
preached from the text, "Drink We all
of it." The sermon was scriptural,
logical and convincing. DR.. McMur-
ry and Mr.. Alf Lyon served the ele-
ments. Mrs. Bradley had charge of
the music, DR.. Calvert and Mr.. w.
W. Bradley lifted the offering at the
opening of the service. AS they
stood in front of the pulpit, very
fitting blessing was asked on that
part of the service. Reverence and
decorum characterized all of the SER
vices. An intelligent and sympathet-
/ ic congregation united heartily in the
service. AS we drove up to the home
of Brother Plaxco, we passed the
new hospital which is now being
erected and which means so much for
the city. We found the streets all
torn up and street paving every
where in evidence We were told that
the city is pushing forward and
everybody is busy. Houses are in
great demand.-A R. ?.

OIL MEN COMPLAINING

Washington, Jan. 14.-Cotton oil
mills in Georgia and South Carolina
through senators from those states
today registered a strong protest be-
fore the war department to ade-
quately compensate oil mills for
cotton linters taken over by the gov
iernment during the war.
Former Senator Christie Benet of
Columbia is here pushing the matter
and it is understood that meeting
of all Southern senators interested
in the situation may be called at
once to provide legislation, if that is
necessary, to take hold of the pro-
position.
The war department agreed to pay
for these linters when they were
taken and now the contract board is
not proposing what is considered by
the oil mill men an adequate settle
ment.
kilograms poured into hands of
Southern senators today and this &C
ton, with that of Mr.. Benet, is ex-
!pected to 60 far towards securing
satisfactory adjustment of the mat
ter, although the oil men are much
disturbed at the present prospect of
being compensated.

Thanksgiving is past and also our
vacation but let us resolve that
the spirit of Thanksgiving win re-

on Wednesday of last week. Mr.
Shanner gave short talk on the
part OF the students work that is
'presupposed" For an illustration
he used the conditions upon which
player on basket bah team en-
ters a game. 1t is never necessary
for the coach OF the team to go
from one to another of the players
Or 10 any one player and ask him
whether or not he will score for the
team on which he is playing, if a
favorable opportunity comes to
him to do so. This is always pre-
supposed and we know the player
viii put forth all his efforts in try
ing to score for his team Like
wise we always presuppose that
when student enters school at
the beginning of the year he is GO
ing to do his best to score by ac-
complishing his subjects. We do
not need to go from one student to
another or to any one student and
ask him whether or not he will do
this thing. This is always presup-
posed To the writer this seems
to be one of the most vivid presen
tations of the duty of the student
that has ever been brought before
the student body. We feel sure
that every student can now see bet
ter than eser before. that he must
realize that some things are pp-sup-
posed
The boys team OF the Junior and
Senior classes put forth all their ef
forts in scoring for their team last
Wednesday afternoon. And SO did
the Sophomore and Freshmen team
endeavor to run up the score but
the final score stood % to l5 in
favor of the Juniors and Seniors.
The girls teams divided into two
groups; namely Reds" and Blues
the final score being to Is in fav-
or OF the Reds.
The Statute of Liberty presented
by the class of 1920 has been erected
in the center OF the hall at the
high school building and the whole
srhooi wishes to express their ap-
probation for this piece of art. II

ful gift.
