sum for reparation be put off for
three years. He said that under pres
ent conditions a further heavy de-
cline in German exchange would be
almost inevitable.
"If this reparation sum should be
fixed at this time in Geneva it would
be certain to depress the mark to the
value Of one centime," he declared.
Discussing the possibility Of revo-
lutionary trouble in Germany, Err
berger asserted that it is only a
question of food. There is already
much suffering among the poor, he
said, and the preesnt indications are
that the end of February will find
Germany facing grave food crisis.
He said that he believed there is i'm
minent danger of further occupation
of the Ruhr district by the French.

WHY THAT LAME BACK?

bad back-look to your kidneys. You
will make no mistake by following
this Newberry residents example.

says: Several years ago | had a
bad case Of kidney trouble. / had q
dull, steady ache in my back and

the morning felt stiff and it was
hard for me to get started. My head
ached, I was nervous ard the kidney
secretions were highly colored and
full of sediment, causing burning
sensation in passage. Hearing of
Doan's Kidney Pills, I got supply
and they relieved me right away. At

, WHEN LIQUOR WAS CHEAP.
GrecnviIle Piedmont.

A man by the ,ame Of John Mar
tin-probably kin to some folks in
Greenville-lived in Abbeville county
more than hundred years ago. The
Abbevillc Press and Banner has late
ly published some interesting data
taken from his private papers. HE
was an Irishman who settled in New
berry but moved to Abbeville, posi-
bly, seeking more excitement. From
his accounts it is learned that in
1845 ordinary shoes sold at 81 1-2
cents per pair. The doctor charged
him only $175 a visit, including
medicines. There are so many en-
tries for entities on the doctors bills
that the slogan Of the medical profes-
sion in those days, instead Of "oper-
ate," must have been 'nauseate. "

preserved that Brother Martin cal
ways behaved in Christian, becom-
ing MANNER" although he did buy a
little dram now and then. One hun
dred and five years ago he bought a
half pint Of rum for 18 3-4 cents.
Somewhat later he acquired a half
pint of whiskey at IL 1-2 cents. Ten
days later he bought the same
amount at the same price. In No
vember he took on a whole gallon at
a dollar and half and, evidently be-
lieving that "a little Of the hair of
the dog is good for the bite" got an
other gallon three days aftcrward
He never dreamed that a hundred
years later thirsty hordes would pay
$40 for a quart of commingled shoe
polish, wood alcohol and embalmine
fluid. The man who sold Martin the
liquor was also school teacher who
charged him $36.46 for teaching 100
days. How about that for a low
teachers salary? Martin appears to
have been tailor, but he charged
only $500 for an ordinary coat and
$500 for an overcoat. Nowhere
does it appear that he complained OF
hard times, as now do SO many of the
prominent Abbevill;ans who whitt1e

VALUABLE TURN UP
!. IN BARRACKS BAG
Amount Which President Vaughan
Says Was Stolen Is Brought
to Light.

Roanoke, Va, Nov. 20.--In the
presence of bank officials, from
points in three ststes local police to-
day examined the contents of the
barracks bag taken in a fight yester.
day with three alleged bandits on the
outskirts Of the city, and found loot
Valued at ss6,253, the entire amount
Of which was turned over to Presi-
dent Vaughn, Of the Bank of Glas-
gov, Va, who claimed it was stolen
from his bank early yesterday morn
ing.
Following thrilling battle with
the alleged bandits yesterday morn
ing, which resulted in the killing of
one Of the robbers and the arrest of
two others, the police obtained what
they at first believed to be loot from
a series of robberies recently in
Southern states. Today'ss examina-
tion of the barracks bog, however,
revealed that all of the loot had been
taken from the Glasgow institution,
and which was identified by the Glas-
cow bankers. The contents Of the
bag, according to the police, were as
follows:
Booty is Found.
Liberty bonds, $4,000; stock,
sS2,s75; certificates of deposit, s14,-
s25; notes, $500; war savings
stamps, sl,s55, and several pieces Of
iewelry said to have been in safety
deposit boxes in the Glasgow bank.
While the local authorities were
trying unsueeessfuly to determine
the identity Of James B. Rodgers,
gilled in the skirmish with police the
two arrested men, William. Porter
alias William Harris and Charles
Carter, were given preliminary hear
ings in police court. They were or
dered held without bail for the grand
jury upon the technical charge Of
Shooting at an officer" The coro-
ner's jury early today exonerated the
police from any blame in connection
with Rodgers death.

ERZBERcER's PLAN TO RAISE
GERMAN EXCHANGE RATE
(BY Karl Won Wiegand.)

Berlin, Nov. 20.-Former Minister
of Finance 'Erzberger, who arranged
the armistice with Marshal Foch, has
thought out what he declared to me
to be a practical plan to raise the
German rate of exchange and to put
Germany on its feet again financially.
According to Erzberger his plan
eal1s for only eight hundred million
dollars, which must be largely cash,
and from four to five billion dollars
in credits, running from ten to tWen-
ty years. I recently called upon the
resourceful former finance minister
and asked him if he had given any
thought as to how Germany's fl
nances could be reconstructed, and
he said:
"a man who said he was acting
for Morgan group came to me with
the same question and asked if l had
any plan to submit to them.
'There are now approximately
thirty billion paper marks outside of
Germany and between twenty-five
and thirty billions of other paper and

ton:
'First. That Germany obllgate
herself to print no more money, or

the necessary uses agreed upon.

of those thirty million Of marks and
the other obligations, between seven

credit for food and raw materials to
the extent of from four to five bill
lion dollars running from ten to
twenty years.
Banks Security.
/ asked Erzberger how he would
arrange to give the banks security,
and he answered:
*The banks could issue bonds in
small denominations for the money
with which the marks and other OBJ
legations had been purchased. The
bonds should not exceed the amount
of the outlay in purchasing the marks
and would bear interest and run for
series of years. with the interest to
not cease in The iatter years. The
sixty .billioas vi marks and ohliga-
tons in hand would be security fo'
the bonds, with the marks outside OF
Germany once .irly cleaned up. ard
with. bpt, small anountssof paper,cur-
ceaeg being pyigted, it follows that
the exchange rate would steadily rise,
thereby multiplying the security in
hand,
J. "tAss Germany redeemed the bonds,
a proportionate amount. of the marks
in hand would be returned, to the
Gerr- government to be destroy
ed"
When asked what would be the Sc
curi:y for thefour or five billion dol
lars worth of credits, Erzber~~er, re-
piled:
Germany must sell for export
only in exchange or money of the
country to which the exports are
made. For instance, in dollars to
America, in gu:lders to Holland, etc.,
or if. the price is in marks, then
those paying in marks must buy the
marks from the American syndicate
holding the same.
Control Of Exports.
s"The American would be given
control of, or monopoly Of, Ger
man exports Of sugar, tobacco, pot
ash, chemicals and dyes, thus giving
America practically world monop-
oily in some. of these articles and en-
abling them to fix prices"
In addition to this plan, Erzberger
said there are various other ways in
which America could be fully secured
for long standing credits. He de-
clared that both in the rise and the
exchange of marks and the monopoly
upon certain exports the American
syndicate would stand to make enor-
NOUS profits. The former minister
conceded that the American syndi-
cate could undertake such a plan
only if arrangements were first made
as to Germany's annual payments on
reparation.
Erzberger approved of the British
proposal that the fixing of the final

CLOSES STOCK YARDS AT

A. e Frederick, state humane Of

day morning in answer to complaint
made against the Northwestern rail-
way in which it was alleged that ow-
ing to the extreme muddy and filthy
condition Of the local stockyards thai
same were not fit for use.
The humane officer ordered the
yards closed. The report was concur
red in by the local agent. Owing to the
fact that a large amount of stock was
coming in, use of the yards was grant
ed over Tuesday, the order thus be-
coming effective Wednesday morning.
If the yards are as bad as the com
plant alleges, no one will blame the
humane officer, and if he come again
when our streets are as muddy as
they were this time there would be
few regrets if he closed them up al
so.
And it has been suggested that
he close the depot, too. We need to
have our civic pride shocked occas-
ionally, so that we will go after bet

SPLENDID TALK
BY MISSIONARY

Rev. Howard Musser, recently re-
turned from India where he is mis-
sionary under the auspices of the M.
e. board of Missions, gave interest
ing talks Thursday afternoon and
evening at the local M. E. church.
He told entertaining stories of his
experiences among the people in the
jungies of India, also telling of how
the sick are cured besides how all the
natives are taught the gospel.
He gave several instances, one of
which was the case of a little blind
boy who had a cataract on one eye.
The cataract was removed by mission
aries, the boy was able to see and as
a result, he brought ten other little
blind boys to receive the same treat
ment.
Another case was that of a two
year-Old boy who suffered from lep-
rosy. The child was cured and then
given an education In gratitude he
became an excellent worker in the
cause Of Jesus Christ.
To show what work might be done
among the lower classes, the speak
or said, the missionaries took one
Of these poor boys and converted and
educated him. At present this same
boy is a prospective bishop.
All of this work tends to awaken
the Chinese people in that part of
India, said Rev. Musser.
The address was in all, full Of wit
and humor and highly instructive as
we'll as inspirational. Theother church
es of the city were we'll represented
there being between four and five
hundred people present Both audi
torium and gallery were filled.
