DIR. HARVIN RETURNS.

DR.. A. L. Harvin, who has been on
two weeks visit to relatives in Alb
beville and Manning, has returned to
Washington, where he is regarded as
one of the Capitol City's most dis
tinguished dentists.
When asked about the political SIT
uation, DR.. Harvin stated that he
only hears the republican side Of the
discussion, but from what he hears,
it seems that the democrats will have
better chance to win with the wom-
en- voting. The League Of Nations
:uts little figure in the chances of the
party, so far as he hears, liquor be-
ing the big question. A large per-
centage of the people with whom he

people with whom he has talked in
Washington Cox is regarded as the
"wet" and Harding as the "dry"
candidate.

DR.. P. K. BLACK HURT
RESULT OF COLLISION
Between His Automobile and a c. &
w. c. Train Near Mt. Carmel
Taken to Hospital in
Augusta.

News reaches this city of the seri-
Gus injuries received by DR.. P. K.
Black of Mt. Carmel in a collision
between an automobile in which he
was riding and an engine on the C.
& W. C. railroad near that place.
Full particulars Of the accident could
not be learned, but it is understood
the doctor in his car had rushedon to
the railroad tracks from a curve in
the highway and did not see the train
until it was right upon him.
When physicians reached him it was
thought that both legs were brok-
en- and that he had sustained num-
Der other injuries. At first it was
thought his back was also broken.
He was rushed to hospital at Au-
gusta, where upon examination 1t
was found that this was not true, and
that his legs were not oroken.
Late information from the hospl-
tai is to. the effect that he is getting
along nicely and without complica-
tions. will soon recover.
DR.. Black is we'll known in this
section and has many friends here
who will be sorry to learn Of his un-
fortunate accident and will nope for
his early and complete recovery.

Chamber of Commerce Staged
Fine Meet at The Court House
William T. Royster of Griffin, Ca, Was The
Speaker And Entertained The Small Crowd
Present With Detailed Outline of What
Might Be Expected of A Live CONNER

retary-Mr. Barnes To Assume
Duties Sept. First

up before her. He complimented in
highest terms her splepdidly paved
streets and other indications Of pro-
gress and prosperity, urging the
while a greater harmony and closer
cooperation among the business
men and citizens generally, all
which tends to the making of big
ger and better city for people to
1--we in and call their home.
1t will be recalled that about six,
y days ago the business men of the
city woke up to the fact that the
town needed a live commercial or
'ganization. They therefore went to
work and the result was the forma-
ton Of the local body as already re-
ferred to. A few weeks ago meet
ing Of the board of directors was
held and at this time a permanent
secretary was chosen in the person
of George T. Barnes of Atlanta. Mr..
Barnes has accepted the position
and will assume the duties involving
upon him after September 1st. He
comes to Abbeville very highly re-
commended and the indications are
that the directors acted very wisely
n their choice of a secretary.
The meeting last night was in the
nature of a get-to-gether meeting,
for the purpose of learning first
hand from an experienced man the
purposes of real live chamber of
commerce and the duties of a first
class secretary. In other words the
members and prospective members
of the new organization wanted to
get started out on the right road,
and for this reason invited Mr.. Roy
ster here that such results might OBJ
tain. The meeting was all that was
expected, notwithstanding the small
crowd that availed themselves of
the opportunity to hear this well in
formed man and talented speaker.
Those present were enthuiastic over
the outlook and of the opinion that
the meeting would result in much
ultimate good.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-08-25

That was a most interesting
meeting held at the court house last
night under the auspices of the
local chamber of commerce. The
crowd present was not an over
whelming one, but all on hand
showed a deep interest in the pur-
pose of the meeting.
The speaker was. William R. Roy
ster, of Griffin, Ca, secretary of
the Griffin and Spaulding county
commercial club. He had for his
subject, "How to Organize and
Maintain a Chamber of Commerce" "
He was introduced by J. M. Nickles,
president of the local chamber and
in very happy manner, first out
lining the plans of the newly formed
organization in this city and what it
was, hoped to accomplish through its
efforts. Acknowledging the intro
duction the speaker then went into a
detailed statement of what had been
accomplished by his association in
the town of Griffin and Spaulding
county in the sister state of Geor-
gia. During his talk he took occa-
sion to throw numerous bouquets at
the city of Abbeville, emphasizing
the splendid opportunity she has
before her and the splendid start
she has already made on the road
of progress. In clear and concise
manner he explained the aims and
purpose of the average chamber of
commerce, explaining thoroughly
eh inside workings CT such an or
ganization and throughout his en-
tire talk stressing the Importance
of such an association to the town
and community il. which it opera
ted.
The speaker stated that he was
amazed at what he had found here
in Abbeville. Instead # a wide place
in the road, a towr just waking. up
to it's Importance, he found a city
already on the high road to success
and immense possibilities looming

ACTION OF LEGISLATURE TO
SECRETARY OF STATE AFTER,
ATTORNEY GENERAL HAD ADJ
VIsED HIM COURT HAD SET;
ASIDE RESTRAINING ORDER

Nashville, Aug: 24.-Governors

Secretary of State Colby Tennessee,s
ratification Of the woman suffrage
amendment after receiving from At
torney General Frank M. Thompson
an opinion that writ issued by Chief
Justice D. l.. Lansden, of the State
Supreme Court, last night set aside
a lower court order temporarily re-.
straining the Governor from taking
such action. The injunction was OBJ
tanned by citizens of Nashville op.s
posed to suffrage!
Issuance of the writ and the Gov.
ernor's certifcation serves to trans
fer to Washington the battle over
legality of ratification. Ant1-suffrage
leaders declared the American constf-.
tutional league was prepared to ap-'
ply to the District of Columbia Su-
preme Court for an order restraining
Secretary Colby from issuing a proc
lamation declaring the amendment In
effect. So far as court action IN Ten.
nessee is concerned the only thing in
prospect for the iantis is 20 request
the Supreme Court to rescind the In
dividual action of Justice Lansden. !
The court meets in Knoxville Septem-
Der 20. f
Announcement this morning that
Justice Lansden had issued the writ,
followed an hour later by the state
ment that the Governor had mailed
the certifcation was bombshell in
the camp of the anti-suffrage forces
and an agreeable surprise to the ysuf-
fragists. There had been no rntima-
tion such course was planned.
Attorney General Thompson filed
the petition for the writ with Justice
Lansden at his residence last night on
behalf of Governor Roberts, Secre-
tary of State Stevens and Speaker
Andrew Todd and Clark W. M. Car
ter, of the Senate, parties to the res
staining order. q
Mr.. Thompson argued the case be-S
fore the justice and the writ was
granted. The petition was filed with
the clerk of the Supreme Court at
9:55 o'clock this morning and TWEEN
ty-fve minutes later the certificate
of ratification was in the mails on it's
way to Washington. Is
