CONTESTED SEATS
CONSIDERED TODAY
NOT POLITICAL DE-
CISIONS, SAYS HAYS-RE-
PUBLICAN COMMITTEE WILL
ALSO HEAR CLAIMS OF
SOUTH CAROLINA DELEGA-
TIONS

Chicago, May 30.-When the Re-
publican national committee on to-.
morrow begins making decisions
over contested delegations to the
convention it will, according to an
nouncement by Chairman Will H.
Hayes, proceed to make judicial
decisions, not political ones"
The majority of the contests
come from the South involving the
claims of white and black dele
gates. The contest from Georgia
bringing up a direct fight between
Wood and Lowden forces promise to
be the center of interest. Fifteen
of the II seats are in dispute.
The first Georgia convention
elected a "black and tan" delega-
ton headed by Henry Johnson, a
negro. 1t was officially listed as un-
pledged. Governor Lowden's cam
paign manager testified at Wash
ington before a senate committee
that $4,000 of the Lowden cam
paign fund had been sent to John
son. Later, Is delegates headed by
Roscoe Pickett, were elected and
were understood to favor General
Wood. Frank H. Hitchcock, one Of
the generals managers testified to
the senate committee that the $1O,-
900 contest is expected probably to
be the most spectacular of all:
Since contest was filed from
Texas, there was bolt of negroes
from the San Antonio convention
and now two full sets of delegates
are asking to be seated. Both are
reported favorable to the candi-
dacy of General Wood.
List of Contest
In brief, the number and distri-
button of contest are as follows:
Alabama 1; Arkansas Z; Florida g.,
Georgia Is; Louisiana II; Mime
sofa /; Mississippi IL; Missouri 4;
North Carolina II; Oklahoma 6;
South Carolina IL; Tennessee 2;

HIGH PRICES REIGN
DESPITE MANY CUTS
RESERVE BOARDS ANALYSIS
is NOT ENCOURAGING NO
GREATER DISPOSITION ON
PART OF PUBLIC TO
ECONOMIZE THAN HERE.
ToFORE

Washington, May 30.-Despite
recent reductions in prices, little
relief from the general reign of
high prices is seen by the Federal
Reserve Board, in its analysis of
business conditions, made public to-
night. The board expressed the
view that there has been no change
in the underlying conditions of re-
sponsble for the high cost Of living.
Asserting that while store sales
and a tendency to lower prices
bears witness to the presence Of
disturbing factors" which suggest
the advent of wide alteration in
price levels, the board declares it
cannot accept the situation as a
whole for its face value. The ex-
planation is added that there has
been only slight Increase in pro-
duction and that there is no greater
disposition on the part of the gener-
al public to economic and invest
than had ruled heretofore.
"The changes that have taken
place therefore," the boards state
ment said, cannot be looked upon
as indicating a modification of un-
derlying conditions. They may,
however, afford a basis for changes
in business relationships that may
broaden into more far-reaching al
ture."

SOLICITOR BLACKWELL HERE

Solicitor Homer Blackwell came
over from Laurens Monday to look
after the holding of the June court.
On account of the fact that the
crops are behind time, and work
much delayed, there has been a
general feeling that the term of
court should be called off or order
ed at a later date. Solicitor Black
wetll expressed himself as feeling
that the pending cases should be
tried without delay, but felt that
considerations should be extended
to the farming interests. After 60
ing over the situation he decided
to have the June term of court
postponed until later time when
farm work was not so pressing. The
term will probably be called for
sometime in July.
Solicitor Blackwell is an announc-
ed candidate for reelection. He is
Just now finishing his first term as
solicitor and feels that he deserves
further term in the office. He will
be opposed by Hon. j. Howard
Moore of Abbeville, at present SEN
ator, and probably others. Mr..
Moore is making a vigorous cam
paign, and is pleased with responses
which are coming in reply to his
announcement. The race will be
watched with interest.

AT DUE WEST.

The Sixtieth Anniversary of the
founding of the old Due West Female
College has been celebrated at Due
West last week and this week and
many of the friends of the institu-
tion are in the town for the occasion.
The name of the college has been
changed to the Woman-s College
since it's establishment.
The celebration began Friday
night with pageant depicting the
life of the college from it's beginning.
The pageant was held on the athletic
field of the Womans college which
had been wired and decorated for
the occasion. The spirit of 1860 was
typified by Miss Wilmot Whitesides
who appeared in the costume of the
sixties while Miss Virginia Reid was
the up-to-date young lady Of 1920.
One of the interesting scenes was
that of young girl graduates of the
war period. who appeared in hoop
skirts, laced slippers with curling
hair and stood demurely by while a
man read her essay, a custom which
was in vogue in Due West until not
so many years ago.
The scene telling the story of the
college in the mission field was ex-
cellent, requiring thought and ability
to carry it through. Miss Leslie, as
missionary to India was In the scene
and with Miss Mary Ransom sang
one of the Psalms in the Hindustane.
The Dance of the Decades, the
stability Minuet of the Sixties, the
gymnastic dance, the dance of the
arts, literature and science were
beautifully carried through and were
a distinct innovation in the quiet
city.
The pageant was written and di-
rected by Miss Dorothy Edwards
Hayes and reflected great credit on
her as thoughtful young woman,
the training was excellent and the
pageant as whole was one of the
most successful affairs ever given in
Due West.
Miss Bette Morrah, Miss Howard
Hill and Miss Sudie Milford, all Alb
beville girls, took part in the differ
ent scenes.

MEETING OF
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
HOSPITAL IS HELD

A very important WeeIllS VI Ille
board of directors of the hospital was
held last Friday afternoon. The build
ing is nearing completion, and the
matter, of equipping it and having a
formal opening was discussed, and
by laws were taken up for acoption.
One of the by laws which will be
of general interest follows:
"No person, whether s:ockholder
or contributor, shall receive any pro-
fit from his subscription or stock, but
any and all profits earned shall be
devoted to the improvement of the
property and for charity cases."
1t developed at the meeting that
the authorized capital stock of the
hospital was $25,O0O.oo, and only
$11, 900 has been subscribed and is
sued. 1t is the hope of the manage
ment that at least $4,000 additional
stock will be subscribed by the pub
lie, that the hospital may be fully
completed and equipped. The institu-
ton is intended as memorial to
the soldiers of the World War who
went out from this county; and is in
tended solely to be of benent to hu-
manity. Its promoters felt that such
a memorial would serve a better pur.
pose than some shaft of granite or
figure wrought in bronze.
1t was announced in the directors
meeting that a certain individual
was ready to subscribe to the full
amount of stock it is desired to is
sue; but the directors felt it would be
unwise to permit any one person to
hold so large an amount of stock, but
that it would be better for the man.
agement and control Of the institu-
tion and it's policy to be in the hands
of many.
The property was bought at RI
diculously low figure, ana much of
the material used in the building was
bought away below present market
values. Because of the greatly in
creased cost of materials and labor,
however, the hospital has cost more
than twice as much as it was at first
thought would be the case. At the re-
quest of the directors, outside, disin-
terested parties of experience came
to Abbeville and appraised the prop
erty, and gave it a minimum value of
$4,000.
The question of a formal opening
of the hospital was discussed, but no
definite date was fixed, as 1T is desir-
ed that the full equipmen, shall be
placed, and the entire hospital be
ready for occupancy before such
opening shall take place. In the mean
time, however, the public IS cordially
invited to visit the plant and inspect
it.

WILSON PRAISES
STATE PLATFORM
Approves Document Adopted in Vir-
ginia.-Writes to Senator Car
ter Glass of Virginia.

Washington, May 29.-President
Wilson's conception of the campaign
issues of 1920 was elucidated today
in a letter made public az the White
House expressing the presidents
"full accord" with the sentiment con-
tanned in the platform recently
adopted by the Virginia Democratic
convention.
The league of nations plank, which
declared for ratification OF the treaty
of Versailles without reservation
which would impair in essential integ-
rity" was particularly commended
by the president. He also singled out
for praise the platforms declarations
on finance and reconstruction which
include a general proposal to revise
tax laws and deplored agitation for
"an indiscriminate bonus" for SOL
diers of the great war.
The letter was addressed to Sena-
tor Glass of Virginia who drafted the
state platform and its publication
from the White House generally was
regarded as forecasting what the
president and his supporters would
expect to be written in the party's
national platform at San Francisco.
The national platform was not men,
toned directly by the president
though he wrote that the Virginia
Democrats had "set forth the atti-
tude Of the party" on the league Of
nations and other issues.
League to Front.
The league plans occupies large
place in the Virginia platform, en-
bracing declaration for "a league
of nations" arc praising ";hc excep-
uonal achiertment at Paris involved
IN the ado1;:,1 Of a league and treaty
so near akia to American ideals " The
presiden. is | .aisri for ''steadfactiy,
standing for the covenant agreed to"
and the Republican reservation and;
peace resolution are condemned.
Some of the other features of the
Virginia plan are:
A declaration for an efficient mer-
chant marine, with sale to American
citizens for operation under :he Am
erican flag of all merchant vessels ac-,
quired by the government during the
war.
Condemnation of the Republican
congress for "vain and extravagant
Investigations costing Sz,000,000 re-
vealing nothing beyond the incapac-
ity of Republican politicians to cope
with the gravest problems
A declaration that neither labor
nor capital should at any ;ime "take
action that will jeopardize the public
welfare" and that strikes and lock-
outs should be supplanted by some
method of amicable settlement.
