PREsBYTERlANs CALL PASTOR

The congregation of the Abbeville
Presbyterian church met yesterday
to consider the matter of calling a
preacher for their church. After
some discussion, it was decided to
ballot for a preacher, and the vote
resulted in the selection of DR.. ia.
Campbell, of Quitman, Ca, who re-
ceived large majority of the votes
cast. A call will be extended him by
the congregation.
DR.. Campbell is a Scotchman by
birth. Like most men of Scotch birth
and rearing he is a man of fine
sense and scholarly attainments. He
is stated to be one of the best
preachers in the Presbyterian
church and one of the best pastors.
1t is hoped that he may decide to ac-
cept the call and come to Abbeville.

THANKSGIVING SERVICE

The annual Thanksgiving service in
Abbeville will be held in the Metho-
dist church Thursday morning, be-
ginning at half-past ten o'clock. The
sermon will be preached by the Rev.
A. J. Derbyshire.
This annual community service
ought to be the most largely attend
ed service of the year, because of its
very nature. The attendance last year
was very gratifying to the pastors
and others; but it is hoped that there
will be a larger congregation present
to give public thanks this year.

NEGROES AS POLICEMEN
(Spartanburg Journal.)

of TuSkegee Institute, made speech
at Newport News, Virginia, several
nights ago in which he said that
crime and racial friction could be re-
duced so to rs per cent by the ap-
pointment of negro police in commu-
mites where the negro population is
large. We should say that s., much
would depend upon the character of
! the negro population, the region of
country where the experiment would
be made, and, above all, the courage
and fairness of the officer placed in
command of the police force.
Negro policemen have been fully
tried out in South Carolina. Years
ago they were tested in Charleston.
One of the lieutenants on the force
was colored man by the name of
John M. Fordham, an excellent Of
ffcer and a brave man. There were
at the time probably twenty negro
policemen on the force, and as long
as Colonel Alfred Rhett was Chief of
Police and Lieutenant Joseph Golden
was his understudy, they performed
acceptable service. We happen to
have before US now one of the Cour-
tenay Year Books of Charleston pub
lished in 1883, when Alfred Rhett was
Chief, and there were under his COM
mand a number of negro policemen,
and this was the record, in part, of
the years work; Arrests, 1889;
whites, male, 1880; female, 49,; col
ored, male, 1,46s; female, 342.
The population of Charleston at
that time-was less than $4,000, the
negroes out-numbered the whites
over two to one. 1t was the crime
and not the color of the criminal the
police regarded, and we do not Think
it can be denied that the situation in
Charleston at that time was ideal 50
far as it affected the relation of the,
races; but it did not last. Why? Be-
cause the negroes seemed to prefer
the promises of faraway sponsors
rather than the guardianship of their
white neighbors and friends, who
knew them better than they knew
themselves.
Many years ago the Town Marshal
of Abbeville was negro, Alfred Eli
son, and he made a very/good officer,
was not afraid of any man and did
his duty with general satisfaction, we
believe, to the responsible people of
the community. But in this case, as
in the case of the police force Of
Charleston, the negro Marshal knew
his limitations and respected his sur
roundings. 1t has not always been
50. We do not think the experience
last year with the negro policemen at
the National Capital can be noted
with pride by the leaders of their
race. Possibly, they did not respect
the authority Of the Chief of Police,
and it may be that he was 10th to use
his power to preserve the peace, and,
in a sense, that was greatly to his
credit. But if Alfred Rhett had been
there, or an officer like him, it would
not have been necessary for the Sec
retary of War to have ordered out the
military forces. Which is why we are
of the opinion that while negro po-
licemen might be able to render good
service, as Major Motion contends,
they could not be trusted except un-
der the strictest discipline.
But Major Motion rendered a public
service in advising the members of
his race to create a strong public
opinion through their churches.

CHICAGO.-The railway labor board
created under the Cummins
transportation act, handed down it's
first award, increasing the pay of vir-
tually all the 100000 railroad EN-
ployes.
Reports from reliable quarters in
dictate the award would average from
80 to 80 per cent of the amount asked
by the men, or between $500, 900
and $6000O0,000 of the billion dollar
total they sought.

General Strike Possible.
A feeling of pessimism was evident
when union leaders met and privately
they did not hesitate to declare gen
eral strike was a possibility it is vir.
tually certain that the union chiefs
themselves would not call strike, but
would submit the question of accepting
or rejecting the boards award to a
referendum.
While an air of trouble hung over
the railroad situation here, it was
announced from Philadelphia that the
Pennsylvania road planned a ten pei
cent reduction in it's working force
this week. The roads announcement
said that in the eastern region be
tween 1900 and 10000 workers would
be laid off.

MEAT PRODUCTION
SUFFERS IN 1920
Packers Say Stockmen Can Not Make
Profit on Present
Prices.

Observation-Disclosures of AGO.
100000 pounds in the country's
meat production for the last six
months, as compared with last year
was reported Tuesday by the Institute
of American Meat Packers. Statistics
of the agricultural department show
ing 100000 fewer cattle, hogs and
sheep were slaughtered at So markets
during the last six months were used
as the basis for the estimated dc
creased production.
During nearly every month of 1920,
producers lost money on cattle and
many packers reported losses on
beef" said the statement. prices of
hogs and pork products are substan-
TALLY lower than last year, due large
ly to diminished exports. Phe decrease
in slaughter indicates that as re.
suit of these losses, some producers
have cut their herds and may restrict
production. Such situation would
be an economic misfortune. Past ex
perience has been normally that high
er prices for meat animals and hence
/ for meat, have followed restricted
production, after which the consumer
again restricted consumption.
Cattle prices in May, the statement
added, were down near the level pre-
vailing when the United States en-
tered the war; but in June the aver
age price in Chicago Of $1495 for ma
tive beef steers was, with the ey
ception of June 1918 the highest Jun
average on record" Fluctuations il
receipts during the two months wer
said to have caused the changes.
