ORPHANAGE TEAM
ADOPTS A GAME

1t was regular team from the
Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, that
adopted all the scoring done Friday
afternoon when this fast team tack
led the boys of the Abbeville high
school. The final score was 81 to 0
looks more like it was a one sided
affair than it really was. The
Thornwell boys-beg pardon-men,
were held to one touchdown during
the first half of the game. The piling
up was done in the latter half when
the terrific onslaughts of the visitors
were delivered with vim and vigor.
The Thornwell Orphanage team is
one of the best teams that has play.
ed here this season and many of the
spectators of Fridays game. say that
this team can defeat. Greenville
high if they have an opportunity to
play the Mountain City boys. The
Thornwell backfield. gets off faster
and runs much better interference
than did the Greenville backfield
which they played here few weeks
ago.
Pephoff, Thornwell's quarterback
and P. C. Junior, is college stuff
and we imagine that P. C. regulars
would like to have his services on
their eleven were it possible, but the
Orphanage boys attending the Pres
byterian College are not allowed to
play on the regular college teams.
Lyon also played good game for
the visitors but Pephoff is the
brains or the squad. Billy Long
played good ball for Abbeville Fri
day and Tate was again doing good
work until he was put out Of the
game by a sprained wrist in the
third quarter. Harris and Barnwell
neither played as good ball as they
have been doing and the whole
team will have to pick up to give
Newberry the beating coming to
them Friday in Newberry.
Game In Newberry Friday.
The game with Newberry will
commence at 8 o'clock Friday after
noon which will not permit visitors
from Abbeville to catch the 4:05
Southern train returning here at
$50 p. m, and see all the game.
Newberry was communicated with
Saturday and an effort made to get
the game called at 2 o'clock so that
the trip could be made from here
and return the same day but the
Newberry manager stated that this
was not feasible as goodly part Of
their attendance came from students
of Newberry College, who were not
dismissed until 8 o'clock. The Able
vile team hope that thagood wealth
er will continue throughout this
week so that big crowd of rooters
from Abbeville may attend this
game, making the trip through the
country.

VIEWS Of FRANCE
COMING SOON
FRENCH AMBASSADOR COMES
THIS MONTH-WILL MEET
REPRESENTATIVES OF HARD
ING ADMINISTRATION TO
CONSIDER QUESTION CAUS-
ING DEADLOCK IN AMERICAN
SENATE IDEAS TO
BE CONSIDERED

washington, 4NoF' o'
serand, the French ambassador, who
went home several months ago on
leave and who later was assigned to
special duty in connection with the
settlement of the Polish question IS
: TO return to Washington on Novem-
Der "a. He is expected to bring with
him the latest views of his govern
1nent regarding the recasting Of the
league of nations covenants and to
be prepared to discuss the subject
with the officials of the Harding ad-
ministration as they are in Office
and ready to proceed.
It has long been known in diplo-
matte circles in Washington that the
principal allied powers were pre-
pared to go far toward meeting any
desire of the American government
for changes in the plan of the cove
nant, but it has been stated in at
least one important quarter that
such changes must in no case violate
the underlying principles, of the
convention. Diplomats generally do
not believe that such changes would
be made by reservations such as
were proposed in the socalled Lodge
plan. In their opinion, amendments
would be necessary. These would
require the approval of the various
signatory powers.
Another matter that will engage
the attention of Ambassador JUS
serand is the status of the CONNER
cial relations between the United
States and France under existing
treaties. France, last spring gave
notice to all powers with which she
had commercial treaties Of the ter
mination of these conventions, her
purpose being to replace them with
q complete set of new treaties
shaped to meet the new conditions
: in trade and commerce resulting
from the war. Before the renuncia-
alton took effect, however, the
French government withdrew the
notice so far as it concerned the
United States.
France, however, has not aban-
doned her plan of revising all of her
commercial treaties and is under
stood to be deferring the opening of
negotiations with the United States
until after the change of administra-
tions in Washington on next March
4. Before the negotiations are open
ed, M. Jusserand is expected to &C.
quaint himself with the plan of the
Republican leaders in the matter of
tariff revision, which might greatly
influence the character of any new
commercial convention.
The ambassador also is expected
to make a close survey of the situa-
ton in Washington and report to his
government upon the prospects of
success in case it should decide to
renew efforts to secure approval by
the senate of the treaty which would
guarantee protection for France
against external aggression for a
period of. five years. Failure of the
original effort in that direction re-
suited in the abandonment of a
Franco-British treaty.
