CREDIT MUST BE
GIVEN TO HELP COTTON

Washington, Dec. 23.-The ques-
ton of exchange and ability to get
credits will determine largely the
amount of American cotton which
will be taken by foreign countries.
particularly Germany, American con-
sular agents said in a report which
was transmitted today to the Senate
| by President Wilson. No summary OF
the reports was made by the StaSe
Department, the detailed figures from
each of the consular agents being
transmitted.
The reports were gathered last
summer in response to a Senate reso-
luton asking for the amount of cot
ton which will be needed during the
year, the reports of the consuls COW
ering the period generally from Au-
gust /, 1920 to August 81, 1921.
Germany Needs IVu,UUV.
Between 100000 and 100000 bal
es Of cotton will be needed by Ger
many for the year ending August 81,
1921, tho American consular agent at
Berlin estimated.
Germany is operating between one
third and one-half Of her 10000, 900
spindles and the market is short of
the better grades of cotton and the
short fibred low grade cotton for
which there has been considerable de-
mand and has been larely of East
Indian production.
Germany before the war consumed
about 100000 bales Of American
cotton annually he said.
"The question of the extension of
the sales of American cotton in Ger
many, is a matter of credit" he as
serted. The Germans require six
months credit, the report added, and
while proposals have been put for
ward for those furnishing the raw
product to take the finished product,
in payment this has not cotton any
where because a German law forbids
a creditor to hold lien on material
furnished to mill under such terms.

MANY co TO JAIL

New York, Dec. 23.-More than
$50 men, previously at liberty under
bail on indictments for crimes Of VIC
lence in Greater New York, reposed
in the Tombs prison tonight, unable
to furnish securities Of from $4,000
to $4,000, fixed by judges before
whom they mere arraigned today.
At the same time police and citizens
continued their efforts to combat the
activities Of crooks till at large. Two
hundred and four indicted men ep-
peared in general sessions. Bail was
raised to $4,000 each in robbery
cases. Barely Is per cent. of the pris-
oners obtained the required bonds
and the others went to Jail.

HELPING THE HELPLESS

Miss Blanche Reep, the Superir-
t.ndent of the County Hospital, is
sending out notices asking the recipl-
ents to give one dollar to q fund to
be used in treating children in the
community-white and black-who
are in need Of medical attention, and
who are unable to pay for this atten-
tion.
Miss Reep called on the Press and
Banner this morning to explain that
the fund to be created was to be used
under her supervision strictly for
charitable purposes. No part OF 1t
goes to pay physicians, nor is the sun,
in anyway a contribution to the hos
pital or anysof it's helpers. 1t is to
be used solely for medicines, nursing,
etc. in the charity wards Of the hos'
pital.
The cali at this season, even though
the people have little money, should
meet a ready response. Most people
are always willing to give when there
is need for money to help starving
children in other countries, and we
say nothing against these appeals.
But we are told BY last weeks Har-
vey's Weekly that there is not
school in the great city of New York
where there are. not children under
nourished. In some of these schools
the per centage of such children is
small, in others it is very large. All
around US are people suffering for
bread and for medical attention
which they do not get. AS we enjoy
the season with those who are well,
we might think of those who on this
day or days are suffering, and Of the
little children in our own land who
need to be fed and who need to be
made we'll.
Miss Reep will continue to receive
donations and contributions to this
fund during the holidays. In asking
the readers of this paper, if they
have not already done so, to contri-
butte to the cause, we feel that we
ask them for something which is
worth while. Let the one thousand
dollars for which Miss Reep asks be
contributed. 1t will do the communi-
ty good to give this amount.

THE ONLY WAY OUT

A strong appeal has been made by
the Abbeville Press and Banner to
the people of its county, both white
and colored, to work out their own
salvation" by buckling down to the
conditions as they are. The situation
was never worse than it is now.
"The amount of debts is several
times larger than ever before" I"
says our contemporary, when we
had hard times. For that reason
there are more people in want than
al any other time in our recollection
and their distress is more aggrava-
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-12-24

ted" "There is no way to get out
of the fix in which we find our
selves except to work out. Every
man must go to work. He>must earn
his own bread. Nobody can sit down
and expect to be fed" The landlord
cannot pay to keep people up in
idleness, the merchants cannot and
neither can the banks. We suggest
ed this to some industrious negroes
few days ago and it did not seem
to appeal to them. Neither does the
warning that the days Of high wages
and Indifferent service are over ap-
peal to them. But they must come
to their senses. People cannot pay
the wages which have been paid in
the past; people will not be satisfied
with the service which has been
rendered in the past, and the man
who works for his bread must find
it out. The sooner he, finds it out
the better"
The condition in Abbeville Coun-
ty is not materially unlike the con-
dition in all other counties in the
State. The only way to get out is to
work out.-Spartanburg journal.

are making towards giving the read
ers a good paper. While we thank
yeu, may we not hope that the Christ
mas season will find all the readers
of the paper happy and contented'
and that the new year will hold in
store for all of US much for which we
will be thankful a year hence.

HOME RULE BILL i
NOT ACCEPTABLE
TO THE IRISH

Dublin, Dec. 23.-Passage of the
Irish home rule by the British par
Lament is not viewed as specially
important by newspapers here. 1t is
recognized the bill probably will not
be accepted by either Ulster or the
rest of Ireland and that the British
government may never decide to put
its provisions into operation.
"Carsonism has received its re-
ward," says the Freeman's Journal
The bill was designed as trap, but
it failed to work. Even such modi-
fled democratic institutions as we
possess are threaten ID by it."

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES


Clemson College, December-Ex-
anime peach trees for the borers and
dig them out with knife or a piece
Of wire.
Peach trees badly infested with
San Jose Scale should be pruned
and sprayed promptly with CONNER
cial lime-sulphur, one gallon of
spray to or gallons Of water.
Thorough spraying is essential. Be
sure to cover the entire tree from
the top to the base of the trunk. A
fine coating Of the spray is desired
in preference to a drenching.
/ Make cuttings Of the "bunch,'
grapes as soon as pruned. Select
vigorous, well-matured canes or
vines of the past seasons growth.
Divide this material into cuttings 8
to 10 inches long, cutting just be-
low the lower bud and IA to 1-2
inch above the upper bud.
Order seed catalogs in time to
purchase a supply Of seed for the
1921 gardens. These catalogs are a
source of much valuable information
regarding the culture Of vegetable
crops.

Needs of Others.

Belgium needs for the year are es-
t;mated between $4,000 and 100000
bales. Her demands are confined to
high grade staples of one inch to one
and one eighth inches in length, the
report added.
Greece's requirements were esti
mated at about $4,000 bales, and
that country produces a quantity of
cotton similar to American middling
of 7-9 inch in length.
Spain's requirements were placed
at 100000 bales, with the statement
that the amount of Indian cotton i'm
ports probably be reduced owing to
exchange conditions.
The consul at Havre reported
Frances textile industry rapidly re-
covering from the war and her i'm
ports CT American cotton placed at
695, 900 bales as against about 1000
! 600 prior to the war.
Holland was reported as largely in
creasing her warehouse space and
manufacturing facilities with a few
to increasing the imports of Ameri-
can cotton which she intended to
manufacture and sell the manufac-
tured goods to Germany. A cotton
market has been opened at Rotter-
dam.
The forecast of what Japan will

port from the consul at Portugal said
that it was possible Brazil might be
able to compete with the American
cotton.
Mexico City reported no imports of
cotton necessary as that country
raised enough to .cke care of the
domestic needs.

"The special figures furnished by
the federal reserve banks in accord
anee with your request" said Cover
nor Hardin's letter, "are in all cases
estimates, no exact figures of the to-
tai volume of loans for agricultural
purposes being available at the fed
eral reserve banks.
1T should be borne in mind also
that the total amount Of farmers
notes rediscounted by Federal Re-
serve Banks gives no indication Of
the amounts advanced by the Feder-
al Reserve Banks to finance the pro-
duction and sale Of farm products
since large amounts advanced to
member banks in other districts on
commercial and industrial paper are
used by these banks for loans to ag-
ricutural interests"
"This does not answer the infor-
nation asked for by the committee"
Said Chairman Gronna. "The state
ment that / made in the Senate
stands, namely that the board does
not know the amount of money loan
ed to farmers.

CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG IN
"THE BETTER WIFE

When Clara Kimball Young and her
own company in Miss Young's latest
select Picture, ''The Better Wife," are
seen at the Royal Theatre today, NOV
ing picture patrons of this city will
see a romance of love and adven-
ture that will delight both men and
women.
"The Better Wife" is the story of
wife who was unfair to her hus-
band, and of another girl who thought
she had failed to make happy the
man she loved. 1t is a story of absorb
ing human interest and one which will
appeal to every age. Bliss Young is
seen as an American girl, Chairman
Page, whose fathers wealth enables
her 10 financially assist the man she
loves. At the time that Chairman
goes to the help of this man, he is still
grieving over the death of his faith
less wife. It is not until many
months later that he realizes what
the love of the right kind of woman
means to a man who is in trouble.
Miss Young's leading man in this
picture is Nigel Barrie.

Born in Tatla, a little Crimean
town on the shores of the Black Sea
she was taken to Geneva when child.
. While there she showed a remarkable
aptitude for music and became a vio-
linist of distinction at the age of
twelve. She gave up music as a
profession however, and devoted her
self to study of dramatic art. I'm
mediately upon graduation she be-
came leading woman with stock
company in Kostrom, Russia, and
played over two hundred parts dur
ing her first season. Soon after this
she moved to Petrograd where she
appeared in the leading theatres in
all prominent roles including "Camil-
lie, "Magda," '.Hedda Gabler," '"Tril-
by" and "The Second Mrs. Tanquer-
ay." She attempted to make a pro-
duction of the Chosen People," a
revolutionary play, but was stopped
by the Russian censors.
1t was in this play however, that
she made her first appearance in Am
erica which was produced at the Cri-
terion Theatre. During this time
she appeared in the Russian language
but at the suggestion of Henry Mil
ler she began 20 study English and
after four short months appeared as
"Hedda Gabla," in this language. This
is almost inconceivable but true, and
it goes to show the genius and deter
minatio of this wonderful woman.
Nazimova's career in this country
has been series of continuous and
tremendous successes which have
placed her at the top of the ladder
of dramatic and screen fame.

LOVELESS MARRIAGE
PROBLEM is SOLVED
BY HEROIC MEASURES

The story of a loveless marriage
which deve1opes into a perfect union
but only after heroic measures had
been taken to rouse a spark of af-
fection in the young wife, is pictured
in "The Spark Divine" the Alice
Joyce picture which will be shown in
the Nogales Theatre on today.
The girl in the story is embittered
against all society because of her un-
happy childhood and she is determin-
ed never to marry. But financial re-
verses overtake her father, and she
does marry most estimable fellow
of wealth
She tells him frankly she does not
love him but agrees to carry out all
the responsibilities of a wife. A son
is born, but still Marcia is indiffer-
ent, and in his despair the father
steals his own child. The loss awak-
ems in the mother the first show of
love for her husband. AS time pas
ses and the child is still missing she
entertains poor children, showingsstill
further a nobility of nature hitherto
hidden.
Christmas finds her hopeless and
crushed, and the husband, convinced
the divine spark had been awakened
has his mother return the boy, whom
Marcia clasps to her breast with hys-
terical tears of joy.
Miss Joyce has a role Of unusual
appeal in this charming story by Alic-
ia Ramsey, written specially for the
Vitagraph star. Tom Terriss direct
ed the picture, and in the supporting
cast are William Carlton, Jr.. Eulalie
Jensen, Frank Norcross and Mary Car

Mr.. Root sailed for home with the
intention of taking part in the national
campaign and to urge America to ad-
here to the international court plan.
which he is said to regard as the high
point of his career. The proposition
was taken up for discussion by the
league council when 1t met In Paris on
Thursday. 1t was expected that Italy
and Japan, and perhaps America,
would make objection to the article
In the constitution of the court which
provides for compulsory adjudication.
In making public the text Of the prof.
ect the council, In a letter to all League
members, said:
'The council would regard an ir-
reconcilable difference Of opinion on
the merits Of the scheme as an inter-
national misfortune of the gravest
kind. 1t would mean that the league
was publicly compelled to admit its
incapacity to carry out n of the most
important Of the tasks which 1t was
invited to perform. The failure would
be great and probably Irreparable; for.
If agreement proves impossible under
circumstances apparently so favorable,
1t Is hard to see how and when the
task Of securing 1t will be successfully
resumed"
