London, Nov. 30.-Public build
ings in London and in many Of the
other large cities Of England were
closely guarded against Sim Fein
attacks by detachments Of police
and detectives last night. In this
city the patrol was not limited to the
streets but armed motor boats NOV
ed up and down the Thames in front
of Parliament buildings. With Down
street and its immediate neighbor-
hood shut off from the rest Of the
city by a high fence, which was con-
stantly under the eyes Of uniform
ed men and with the Parliament
buildings sentineled, government
sections of London today assumed
the atmosphere of an armed camp.
There is nothing to connect the
Sim Fein with the explosion of the
bomb in a warehouse in Old Swan
Lane, this city, this morning, but the
people of the city ascribed it to that
organization. The bomb which ap-
parently was carried into the ware
house in a travelling bag and left
there to explode by means of a
time fuse was heard over wide
area of the city and blew out the
windows of buildings nearby. 1t
started a fire, but police and fire
man succeeded in extinguishing the
flames before they gained headway.
The street where the warehouse j.;
situated has been closed by the po.

Pruitt Monday. For several Sundays
Grade Smith had been noticing smoke
coming from suspicious quarter,

covered five white men making a run
in a new copper still which had just
been installed. Smith notified Mr..
Pruitt, who in turn notified the sher,
iff.
When the officers reached the spot
where the still was in operation
Monday morning, they found the
apparatus had been removed. How
ever, the rain Sunday had made the
ground soft and the parties were cas-
lily tracked. The tracks led to the
home of white men residing on the
plantation of Mr.. Pruitt. There the
stil, the mash barrels and other ap-
paratus were discovered, and also the
little brown Jug full of new juice
just extracted from the corn. All Of

THE LAST FOOTBALL
GAME OF THE SEASON

On Friday last, the good people OF
Abbeville were treated to fine game
of football on Rosenberg Field. When
the game was called, however, there
were not five men there, and we saw
every one of the five The opponents
of the local boys were from Belton,
and they came here determined to win
at any cost. The local eleven had suf-
fered defeat after defeat, and the
kind lads from Belton thought they
were coming to spoil what had other
wise been a happy Thanksgiving.
But before the whistle blew, the boys
of this town had instilled into their
minds that if they did not win this
last same, they might as we'll not
try very hard to get an audience next
year at all.
The lads from Belton were q
mighty host las far as could be seen)
and even misguided coaches from
Belton-way thought their boys invin-
chile. Ala the worm turned as noise
lessly as ever worm since the creation
of man. The weight of the opponents
was about Is to 20 pounds heavier to
the man than the boys of Abbeville; B;
and the weight Of the team was 140
pounds if not more.
The whistle blew, and from that
moment there was no Thanksgiving
in the hearts of certain misguided
people of the region of Belton. Our
boys went into the game with vim.
and from the very first, showed the
ever increasing crowd that they
meant to win. Rushing the ball for
long gains around the end-plowing
through the center of line Of young
giants for consistent gains of 8 to Is
yards; getting. off kicks which pulled
them out of danger--these were only

WILL CONSIDER
FARM SITUATION
Senate and House Committees HOLD
Joint Session-Many Suggestions
As to Legislation in Favor
of Agricultural
Interests.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Possible re-
medal legislation for agriculture
INTERESTS will be considered at a joint
meeting of the original committees
of the senate and house next Thurs
day. The senate committee went
over, the situation today and invited
the house committee members to
meet with them at that time to see
what could be done to alleviate the
situation caused by falling prices fol
farm products.
Senate committeeman said tenta'
tive suggestions for consideration in
cluded: Revival of the War Finance
corporation and the opening Of Eu'
ropean markets for surplus products,
some plan for extending credit to
foreign nations, apd amendment OF
the federal reserve act to afford ex-
tensions of credits on agricultural
paper.
Senator Norris, Nebraska, said re-
establishment of trade with Russia
would be one means Of relief. Sena-
tor France, Maryland, another mem
Der of the committee plans to intro
duce resolution for this purpose.
Senator Harrison, Mississippi, also
a committee member indicated that
members of congress from cotton
states were ready to join with those
FROM wheat and cattle states>in push
ing relief legislation. The Mississip-
pi senator said he wanted to see the
war finance corporation revived and
provision made for government loans
to the agricultural interests.
"The government encouraged the
farmers to make this crop, which
was at a very high cost of production
and the government ought to apply
exceptional treatment to aid them"
asserted Senator Harrison, who said
he had bills to offer dealing with
the problem of the joint committee
session reached on definite program.
The senator said he would also
favor making property in the hands
of the alien property custodian,
amounting to about s400,600, 900
basis for extending credit to Ger
many to purchase surplus American
products.
The joint committee probably will
ask Secretary Houston, members of
the federal reserve board and other
officials of the government to be
present.

COTTON STRONG TODAY.

=. After an advance Of 80 points
yesterday, the market continued or
an upward course-,today, December
futures advancing from 15.45, yes
terday's close, to 1915 at the close
today. New York spots were up 25
points to 1900.
The market in Abbeville was uI
also. Good cotton sold for Is cents
today. The telegraphac Eews was

mand was developing.

some of the things which a delighted
people saw from the hands and hearts
of eleven and more local high school
boys.
THE final score was 81 to in favor
of Abbeville High, but as far as we
could see the score looked like 300 to
o. There were four touchdowns as
cleanly made as ever done of the
Big Four (so-called). Allen Long, not
yet quite recovered from injuries in
the early season, made one; Jimmie
Harris retorted with another, Billie
Long with third, and Foster Barn
we'll ran away from a broken field
go. yards and with brilliant interfer-
ence made as fine a run as we wish
to see. Not only this, but Billie Long
replied in the. very last moment of
play with a beautiful field-goal from
the 25-yard line (the first field goal
of the season on the local field.) He
has been practicing this all season,
and certainly the coaches were graft
fed as well as Billie. We knew the
local boys had lots Of fine football
left in them, and our hopes were sat-
isfied on Friday last. The town is
happy with the season-the boys are
happier, and last (but not least) the
coaches are confident that with all the
boys back in mole-skins next year,
that Abbeville will yet be a factor in
the football championship of South
Carolina. (Ask Belton about it, and
get an unbiased opinion.) The boys
thank each and every one of the
people of this town for their support,
and promise that if they come out to
see them next year, they will have
to 60 to Columbia to witness the
championsh' p game of the season.

Washington, Nov. 30.-President
Wilson today proffered his person
al mediation through a representa-
tive whom I may designate" to end
hostilities in Armenia.
The offer was in reply to an invi-
tation from Paul Hymans, president
Of the council Of the league Of ma
tions, transmitting a resolution
adopted in behalf of Armenia by
the assembly Of the league at Gen.
eva November %. It requested that
'sthe horrors Of the Armenian TRACE
dy" be brought to the attention of
the powers with a view to intrusting
some power with the task Of taking
the necessary measures to stop the
hostihties in Armenia. The United
States, although not member Of
the league, was included among the
nations Of the world to whom the
broadcast Invitation was issued.
Adoption Of the resolutions was
preceded by some discussion Of the
feasibility of organizing an interna-
tional force to intervene in Armenia
assailed alternately by Turkish Ma
tionalists, the Bolsheviki and other
Tras-Caucasion enemies. In his re-
ply, however, Mr.. Wilson said he
was without authorization to offer
or employ the military forces Of the
United States in any project for the
relief Of Armenia or any material
contributions requiring the consent
of congress, (which is not now in
session and whose action could not
forecast"
The president declared, however,
that he was willing, upon assurance
of the moral and diplomatic support
of the principal powers, to endeavor
to bring about peace between the
contending parties in Armenia
through arbitration. He asked sug-
gestions as to the avenues through
which the proffer should be con-
veyed and the parties to whom it
should be addressed.

Anne Morgan Urges
Credits to Aid France

She Asserts People Want
Treaty With Reservations

People throughout the United States,

eager for an early signing of the peace
treaty with reservations, according to
Miss Anne Morgan, chairman of the
executive board Of the American Com

She told of hundreds of individual
cases of want that had been relieved
by the American committee, and said
that if the people Of the United States
could see the field for work over there
they would be determined to do every
thing within their power to assist.
Both agreed the French could not
understand why the United States,
after entering the war and doing such
a great part in helping to win it, had
failed to agree upon the peace treaty.
