Power, the committee sent to present
the call to DR.. Edgar G. Cannon Of
Hampden-Sidney, Va, from the Pres
byterian church returned Wednes-
day without the preacher. Several
had predicted that this committee
would bring the new minister back
with them. Mr.. Link states that they
were charmed with DR.. Cannon and
that he believes he IS the very man
the congregation should have as
their pastor. He states that Dr. Gam
mon would not commit himself but
that he would consider coming to
Abbeville to preach one Sunday for
the Presbyterians under certain con-
ditions. 1t will be quite disappoint-
ment to this congregation if they do
not secure DR.. Cannon.

SENATOR MOORE
WILL MAKE RACE

Senator J. Howard Moore stated
to a representative of The Press and
Banner this morning that he had def
initely decided to make the race fol-
solicitor. Senator Moore states that
he not only expects to make the race
but that he expects to win. 1t is due
to the pressure brought to bear on the
senator by his many friends over the
district that Influenced him to make
the campaign after having stated he
would withdraw.
The decision of Senator Moore to
make the campaign makes it a three
cornered race with H. S. Blackwell
of Laurens seeking reelection and
T. Frank McCord of Greenwood and
Senator Moore of this city opposing
him.

SELLING CHEAP COTTON

John H. Sharp, one of the, prosper
Gus farmers of the county, was in
town Thursday. Incidentally he
brought along four bales of cotton
which he sold for 43 IA cents per
pound, little less than 1.89, but
which netted him $1O14:21.' This
This sounds like a pretty fair sum of
money but then we do not see how
the farmers can raise it for that and
attend all the picnics and political
gatherings this summer too. Besides
when can we find fault with the coun-
try if we stay at home and work all
the time?

school last session. Mr.. arnold says
that he has one of the fines: crops
yes, he is honest-to-goodness farm.
er now-that can be founc in the
Antreville section and if such good
fortune keeps up he doesn't ever ex
pect to desert the plow handles TO,
the rod and book. He says that from
Antreville to Abbeville you car
hardly find a blade of grass in the
crops and he doesn't ever remember
seeing cleaner crops. .. 49,.
The Antreville trustees have been
fortunate in securing an excellent
principal for next year, Miss Eliza
beth Cathcart of Winnsboro, a Sc
ceder and a graduate of Due West
Woman's college, the two qualifca.
tions that always command success.

PLAN OF GERMANS
NOT APPROVED
Berlin Would Reduce Army To One
Hundred Thousand Men In
Fifteen Months.

Spa, Belgium JulyS (By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-The German plan for
progressive rehabilitation to 100000
men in Is months was presented to
the representatives of the allied gov
ernments here this afternoon and was
declared unsatisfactory to the allies.
The allied demand is for immediate
destruction of $4,000 cannon, which
the allied commissioners IN Germany
have under guard, together with 50,-
900 machine guns. Germany desires
to destroy the guns at the rate Of l.
900 month. The allies hold that this
is not sufficiently rapid ana express
fear that the machine guns will fall
into the hands of insurrection1sts.
The military experts Of both Ger
many and the allies began an. exami-
nation of the German plan Immediate
ly after adjournment OF the CONFER
ence at 7 o'clock this evening. Imme-
diately after the conference, Premier
Millerand declared to the correspond
ent it was not essential that there be
complete accord between the allies,
and that Germany had found that &C.
cord existed. The first evidence of
this, the French premier said. was
when the allies declined to discuss
disarmament in the absence of the
responsible German authorities.
/, Speaking of the coming financial
conference in Brussels uncer the aus
pices of the league of nations, M.
Millerand said it would take place on
the date originally fixed, adding"Am-
orleans will be there, you know"
