LEAGUE COUNCIL
DOES GOOD WORK
Action Comes in Polish-Lithuaniau
Crisis and in Question of
Aland Islands,. ..

Paris, Sept. 21.-The ninth session
of the council of the league of ma
tions adjourned today after having
smoothed out difficulties between
four nations in controversies which
at one time Threatened to result in
war. Through it's action in the Polish
Lithuanian crisis the council succeed
ed in getting the two countries to-
agree to an immediate suspension Of
hostilities pending a settlement of
their disputes which both sides agreed
to accept.
The Aland islands question like
wise is considered in a fair way for
settlement. A Finnish reservation
which at first appeared seriously to
cloud the issue was explained as not
offering an insurmountable difficulty
and as having been made largely for
technical reasons.
League officials explained that, al
though neither Finland nor Sweden
was legally bound to accept the
leagues decision they were morally
bound to accept it. It was further
pointed out that a settlement, IF
backed by public opinion would vir--
tually compel acceptance"
Count Quinones de Leon, Spanish
ambassador to France, and Baron
Kelshiro Matsui, Japanese vice for
eign minister, have been appointed
to represent the league of nations in
the settlement of the Polish Lithuan-
ian question and it is expected that at
least tentative decision will be
ready for the approval of the league
council at its October session.

To- RE:
SC|ND SUFFRAGE
Anti-Suffrage Delegation From
Tennessee Requests Secretary
OF State To Publish
Documents In Case

Washington, Sept. 21.-Secretary
Colby has refused to grant the re-
quest of anti-suffragists from Ten
nessee that he rescind his action in
proclaiming ratification of the fed
eral suffrage amendment on the
basis of unfavorable action on the
amendment by the Tennessee legis-
lature.
Afetr the secretary announced
his decision to the delegation at a
conference late yesterday he was
requested to at least publish all of
the documents regarding action by
the Tennessee legislature as re-
ceived by him from the governor
and other officials. These documents
it was said, showed the legislature
first ratified the amendment and
the lower house then rescinded it's
action.
Secretary Colby said today the
delegation had brought up the ques-
ton of political EFFICIENCY in con-
nection with their request that Ten
nessee be stricken from the list of
states which have ratified the
amendment. They suggested that
the secretary issue a new proclama-
ton on the basis of ratification by
Connecticut, but the secretary told
them that was not possible.
Through federal District Attor-
ney Laskey, Secretary Colby today
filed in the district court of appeals
a motion to dismiss the appeal
taken by Charles S. Fairchild for
the American Constitution League
from the decision of district Justice
Bailey, refusing an injunction to
prevent the proclamation of the
suffrage amendment. Mr.. Colby
said the object of the proceedings
was to prevent that which already
had become a fact.

HURRICANE SWEEPS GULF:
PEOPLE HUNT HIGH LAND
People Along Louisiana-Texas Coast Get Back
AS Waters Rise Before Storm.-Slated to Hit
Mainland West of Mississippi But May
Change Its Course Any Time-Weath-
er Bureau Warns Shippers-New
Orleans Hit By Gale

Communities along the gulf coast
from the Florida peninsula to the
Texas lagoons prepared last night for
emergency of storm and flood today,
while weather bureau warnings told
of a vortex of tropical hurricane
dragging it's attendant circles of roar
ing gales slowly toward the mainland.
The traffic lanes in the gulf itself
were clearing fast as ship masters,
apprised by the wireless of the advent
of high running seas and wind, ran
into port shelter.
Swelling tides on the louisiana
Texas coast and falling barometers
heralded its coming. At Corpus Chris
tt and Galveston, inhabitants remem-
bering the death dealing havoc cre-
ated by the onslaughts of tropical
storms, sought higher ground and
safer footing. Dwellings were vacated
and store stocks moved at Corpus
Christi last night, even the big steam
tankers in the oil trade made way for
the hurricanes passage and turned
off their course to harbor in the Mis-
sissippi delta.
Though the weather bureau fore
cast the point of the storms probable
contact with the continent somewhere
along the coast stretch west of the
Mississippi mouth, any moment for
sometime this afternoon, it's signals
were spread east as far as Tampa.
Ships at sea sought shelter there, at
Mobile and the smaller ports of The
Eastern Gulf section, reporting high
seas and rising winds as they did so.
The erratic nature of hurricanes, the
bureau said, made it always poss bic
that the present disturbance would
swerve from the northward course
charted for it since it's entrance to
sea Saturday off Yucatan. Hourly it's
progress was checked and noted by

TOM WATSON MUST PAY
HIS SONS FORMER WIFE

Atlanta, Sept. 21.-In answer to a
certified question from the court of
appeals, the supreme court of Geor-
gia has declared legal and binding a
contract between Thomas E. Watson,
of Thomson, United States senatorial
nominee, and Matte Belle Burnley,
formerly the wife of his deceased son
J. Durham Watson.
In February 1904, Mr.. Watson and
his son entered into a contract to
pay $25 a month in lieu of alimony to
the sons wife, who was then separ.
ated, but not divorced, from him. The
payments were made until April 1918
when Durham Watson died.
In refusing to make further pay
ments, attorneys for Mr.. Watson,
stated the contract was illegal be-
cause it provided for divorce or
discontinuance OF the marriage rela-
ton and because it was in restraint OF
marriage after divorce. The contract
held that payments should continue
through the life of Matte Belle
Burnley unless she remarked after
her divorce, which was granted and
her maiden name restored, after the
contract was entered into. 1t was al
so agreed that the payments should
be in lieu of any claim she might
make to Durham Watson's estate in
case of his death.
The supreme court answered that
the contract was valid and enforce
able and since it was made solely
for permanent provision for support
of the former wife, the agreement
relative to divorce or remarriage did
not render it null and void.

Columbia, Sept. 21.-The next
reunion of the Wild Cat Veterans
Association will be held in Raleigh
or. in Charlotte. These two cities are
being considered, and the decision
will be cached at the business ses-
sion of the Association at Camp
Jackson Tuesday afternoon.
The Wild Cats spent today at
Camp Jackson, where the division
was created and trained. The men
were enthusiastic over their return
to the old stamping ground. A big
dinner in the camp auditorium serv-
ed by the ladies of Columbia, with
boxing matches in the afternoon
were main features. Several officers
delivered speeches at the morning
session. The reunion adjourns to-
night with several social affairs.
1t is practically decided among
the "Wild Cats that an enlisted
man will be the next president Of
the Association. Major VIM. C. Nc,
Gowan of Columbia, has been the
president since the division veterans
organized and he has made an eX-

that the enlisted men as well as Off
GERS have a voice in the affairs of
the organization.
Officers of the Wild Cat Associa-
tion stated this afternoon that it is
impossible to estimate yet the at
endance. There are more than three
thousand registered delegates with
others attending, which the officers
state, will bring the total attendance
to approximately four thousand.

TO SECURE A MILITARY
SCHOOL FOR ABBEVlLLE
Mass Meeting of the Citizens of Abbeville Called
For Tuesday Night to Make Plans to Secure
Baptist Preparatory School, Opportunity
For People of City to Do Something
Worth While for the Future AS
.' Wlel AS The Present.

disciplinary value to the institution.
The Baptist board expects to put in
to the school as an initial investment
about $150,000 in addition to any
sum locally given. The school will be
located in the upper portion of the
State, and Abbeville is one of two or
three places being considered for it.
Abbeville's Opportunity.
This seems to be Abbeville's op-
portunity to secure an institution of
Statewide interest, one which will be
of incalculable worth to the town and
county. While the matter has been
talked of in an informal manner only
up to this time, public spirited citi-
zens owning property in different
parts of the city and near the cor
porate limits have made it known that
an ample site will be given. Indeed,
some six or seven definite proposals
have been made to the local Baptist
committee which has been working on
the matter; and it is expected that
others will be forthcoming when the
mass meeting names a committee to
represent the county in the matter,
and gives impetus to the campaign to
secure the school.
Abbeville now has no institution
of statewide nature, and none upon
which all our people are united in its
support. This proposed school seems
to offer such an institution. While
it will be under Baptist control, the
school will be non-sectarian, as Fur
man and Wofford, Erskine and the
Presbyterian college are non-secta-
rian. 1t will be Christian institution
where boys and young men may be
educated under the best moral in
fluence. All persons interested in Sc
curing such a school for Abbeville
are invited to attend the meeting in
the Court House next Tuesday.

A mass meeting of the citizens of
Abbeville, city and county, will be
held in the court house next Tues
day evening at eight o'clock, to con-
slider the proposition of securing the
location here of the military school
which the Baptists of South Carolina
propose to establish. 1t is hoped that
every person interested in the growth
and we'll being of this community
will be present. 1t is expected that
definite plans will be launched for
the purpose of setting before the
board the advantages offered by Alb
beyille for the location of the school
here. .. -.
Tho Proposed School.
The Rev. Chas. A. Jones, secretary
of the education board Of: the South
Carolina Baptist Convention, visited
Abbeville last week and conferred
with q number of our citizens with
reference to the proposed school.
Briefly, he stated that the educators
of South Carolina recognize the great
need for preparatory schools for
prospective college students; that the
Baptist determination, being by far
the largest single religious denomina-
tien in the State, recognizes its re-
sponsibility in the matter of educat-
ing the people; the first matter that
his board now has before it, there
fore, is to establish several academies
in the eastern and coastal sections Of
the State, and large preparatory
school for boys. The academies will
have local patronage only; but the
proposed school for boys will have a
Statewide patronage, and it is eX-
pected to build large enough to &C
commodate from $50 to 800 students
the first year. The school will have a
military feature. not under the gov
ernment control, but solely for the

RIGHT FROM THE FONT OF FASHION
Y y "

%T\HE vogue in millinery right
now seems to run to black
hats trimmed with white
flowers, lilies of the valley, li1acs,
roses or white Easter lilies. These
hats are very simple of line, almost
straight of brim and the flowers
massed around the crown. There are
a great many all-white hats being dis
played now for wearing with thin
frocks. Leghorns, too, are to be
found in numbers by the interested
hat shopper. An interesting flower
arrangement on a leghorn hat, cut
with the shortened brim at the back
and slightly poking over the face, had
the wreath of silk orchids and other
exotic blooms draped in tiara fashion
over the crown in the front and trail
ing away over the brtm to the sides.
This looks suspiciously like a COM
promise with the off-the-face hat
which fashionab1es have been wearing.
OF Lovely Organdie.
There are some lovely organdie hats
in the small speciality shops especially.
"one showed a unique folding of vari-
Gus tints of rose organdie into fat
roses that practically composed the
