ROAD BONDS ARE TO
Be SOLD At AN
EARLY DATE
The Highway Commissioners Met
Saturday and Passed Resolution
to Make Sale of, Highway
Bonds at Once-Sale to
be Made 23th.

The Highway Commissioners met
Saturday on call of the Chairman j.
S. Stark to consider the matter of
selling the bonds for construction of
the highways. After discussing the
matter, a motion was made and car
ried that the bonds be sold after ad-
vertisement on 28th of this month.
The amount of bonds to be sold is
$450,000. The bonds were voted by
the people of the county on the terms
of the Act authorizing the issue with
an interest rate of five and one-half
per cent. Lateran Act was passed
applying generally to all bonds of
this class, it is claimed in which an
interest rate of six per cent. was au-
thorized. The commissioners will
proceed to sell the bonds so drawn as
to bear SIX per cent. instead of five
and one-half as authorized by the
Act under which the people of the
county voted the bonds.
At previous meeting of the COM
mission only a portion of the bonds
were authorized to be sold, but the
bond buyers refuse to bid unless all
the bonds are sold at one time, stat
ing that if they purchased a portion
of the bonds, some other bond house
might buy the remainder of the bonds
at less figure, which would cause a
loss to them. For this and other rea-
sons the commission has authorized
a sale of the whole authorized issue.
The bonds are serial bonds. This
means that a certain portion of
these bonds must be retired each
year. For the first year the amount
of bonds to be retired is $4,000.
The interest on the whole issue at six
per cent. will be $4,000, which
M cans that the people of the county
will be called on next fall to pay, in
addition to other taxes, the sum Of
$4,000. The amount of taxable
property in the county is about six
millions according to the assessment.
Therefore, every taxpayer in the
county will be called on to pay as
much as seven mills more taxes next
fall than this fall.

FORCES
NEEDED IN HAITI
Withdrawal Would Mean Return of
Chaos-Says Agitators Limit
ed in Number and For
Selfish Motive

Washington, Feb. 13.-The Uni
ted States having "put its hand to
the plow" in Haiti, must not now
turn back through withdrawal of the
American forces there, Rear Ad-
miral H. S. Knapp declared today in
a report in which he presented in
final form the results of his investi-
cations in the island republic for the
navy and state departments.
Agitation against the American
occupation of Haiti, Admiral Knapp
asserted, is inspired by desire on
the part of small group who, he
said, represented at the most less
than per cent Of agitators, he, add
ed, are working to gain hearing
and the sympathy of the people of
United States, although their real
object is to obtain abrogation of the
treaty between the United States
and Haiti and to bring about re-
turn of the old conditions of govern
ment.
"Could this be attained" Admiral
Knapp in his report continued 81
think that 999 out of every 1000
Haitians would be glad to see the
American forces remain to enforce
good order. In other words, the Hal
tians, even the worst agitators
there, would be willing to have the
United States act the part of po-
licemen and otherwise leave them to
their own devices.
The people of the United States"
the admiraps report said, Should
not allow themselves to be deceived
by the words republic of Haiti in
to believing that there exists in
Haiti or ever has a republic in any
true sense founded upon the ex-
pressed will of an intelligent and
educated electorate. The socalled
republic of Haiti, left to itself has
been a tyrannical oligarchy in which
those lin. power fastened upon, the
vast means of;the population, while
those of the governing class out of
power sought every opportunity to
get into power by fair means or foul
with the same corrupt personal ends
in view. Tranquility and security
now exist in Haiti practically
throughout the country. From all
that I can gather, persons can move
about the republic on their lawful
occasions without fear of molesta-
ton. This is the direct result of
armed intervention.

PENDING MEASURES
JAMMrNG CONGRESS
Fifteen Days Yet to Clear Calendars
.-Passage Contemplated Ear
ly in Week-Appropriation
: Bills Delay !

Washington, Feb. 19.-Only ID
working days are left to congress
before adjournment sine die and not
one of the regular appropriation
bills has been finally enacted and
practically all important legislation
is in the air.
Passage early this week by the
senate of the Fordney emergency
tariff bill, however, is expected to
break the jam, at least Of the appro-
priation measures. Leaders believe
that it still is possible with night
sessions to get through all of the
money bills with the exception, pos
sibly of the army and navy appro-
priations.
The emergency tariff bill is to be
given exclusive right of way tomor-
row in the senate after a calendar
call of bills for passage by unani-
nous consent, and a>vote on it is ex-
pected by Tuesday or Wednesday.
The house plans to pass the last
two appropriation bills, the naval
and fortification budgets, early this
week and clear the way for another
legislation and conference reports
A half dozen appropriation bills are
waiting for the senate to consider,
but protracted discussion of the ma
val supply measure is in prospect
with the controversy over reduction
or suspension of the building pro-
gram imperiling enactment.
Miscellaneous measures before the
house include the resolution for a
special committee to investigate the
escape of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll
draft dodger. The packer control
bill and infancy bill and the Smith
Towner measure for federal bu-
reau of education are other impor-
tant measures on the house calendar
which have been made subjects of
great pressure by supporters and
proponents, -''". -" =
Among important bills before the
senate are the immigration restric-
tion measure and the congressional
reapportionment bill. The chance of
enactment of either IS declared
doubtful. The soldiers bonus bill
probably will be reported to the SEN
ate this week by the finance COM
mittee, probably with provision
declaring arrangements for increas-
ed taxes to meet it's obligations. FL
nal disposition of it In the senate
jam is uncertain.

COTTON TRADE HAS
REACHED ITS HIGHT
FIFTEEN PER CENT. OF WORLD
SUPPLY FROM UNITED STATES
THREE TIMES MORE THAN BE-
FORE WAR-SOUTH .AMERI-
CAN REPUBLICS INCREASE
PURCHASES BY IMMENSE FIG.
URE-CANADA AND AUSTRIA
LA BUY HEAVILY

New York, Feb. 13.-Cotton manu-
facturers' exports of the United
States made a. record during 1920
and the United States now supplies
nearly Is per cent. of the cotton
goods entering international trade,
as compared with about 5 per cent.
at the beginning of the world war.
These facts are the outstanding
features of an analysis of the cot
ton manufacturers exports of the
country, announced today by the Ma
tional City bank. 1t shows $400,-
100000 worth of cotton manufac-
lures were sent out of the United
States last year, while only s51, ,0o0,-
600 worth were exported in the year
Immediately preceding the war.
About S5O,OOO,OOO yards of cotton
cloths were exported as compared
with 326,U00,O0O in 1914 with prices
averaging 29 cents yard as against
about seven cents yard in 1914
Although the United States produces
two-thirds of the worlds cotton, the
country had never been large ex-
porter Of cotton goods until war con-
ditions cut off the cotton goods mar
ket of the world from their usual
source of supply when these markets
naturally turned to the United States.
This demand for American cotton
goods comes from everywhere and in
increasing volume, the analysis
states. Argentina took 45,0OO,0Oo
yards, compared with 100000 in
1914; Brazil took 100000 compar-
ed with 100000, and South Amer
ica as a whole took 425, 100000, as
compared with 53,OOO,000 or eight
times as much, in quantity, notwith-
standing prices averaged approx
mately four times as much as in 1914
Canada increased her takings from
26,OOO,OO0 to 76,oOO,OOo, while Aus
tralia also surprised her mother
country by increasing her consnmp-
ton of American cottons.
international trade in cotton goods
averaged about S1,1Oo 100000 yearly
prior to the war of which the United
States supplies about $5O,OOO,Ooo
worth. Last year the worlds trade
aggregated s3,OOO,OOO,OOO, it is esti-
mated. Great Britain, which buys
most of her cotton from the United
States, still leads in world cotton
goods trade, her total exports last
year, at par for sterling, having been
about S1,sOO,OOO,OOO. American ex-
ports totalled $4OO,OOO,OOO; France,
s275,OOO, 900; Japan, $250,oo0,oOo,
and Switzerland, $15o,O00,00o.

THE BOYS, THEY WIN;
THE. GIRLS, THEY
T|E-UP
Splendid Games of Basketball Friday
and Saturday Afternoons But
Poorly Attended-Teams
Not Making Expenses,
Need Encouragement

were pulled off on the high school
court the past week. One Of these
games went for forty minutes and
still neither team had scored-not
even a free throw.
Friday afternoon the girls team
surprised even themselves more than
they surprised anyone else by play
ing Greenwood to a tie for forty min
utes. This was the first girls game of
the season and the first the Abbeville
players had ever participated in as a
team. Everybody on the inside of
course expected Greenwood to have
walk9ver. But pluck and grit count
or as much as consistent practice it
seems, and the Abbeville team play
ed just as good as did the Greenwood
visitors who have not only been prac-
ticing but have played match games
before, this season.
To Carrie Hawthorne goes the palm
for superior playing for Abbeville.
She made it impossible for the
Greenwood forwards to make point
and when Carrie got her hands on the
ball it Immediately was passed out of
the danger zone.
But to Greenwood's guards also
belong much credit for their leech-
like affection for Abbeville's for
wards. Those guards stuck closer
than brothers and Ada and Deby
haven't yet caught up with the breath
they lost in their efforts Friday to
throw goal.
After playing the scheduled time
of 80 minutes by mutual agreement
ten minutes more was devoted to an
attempt to break the tie but there
was nothing doing on either side. The
game was then called to permit the
visitors to catch the vestibule back
home.
Boys Ruin Ninety Six.
With a score of 81 we'll earned
points the Abbeville boys permitted
Ninety Six to reverse the figures for
their allotment in Saturday after
moons game. The final score was Abb
beville 81; Ninety Six Is. Our boys
simply played rings around the visit
ors and had it on them in everything
about the game but especially in pass
ing the ball. Ninety Six has splendid
material, larger boys than we have,
but they need practice badly.
Bruce Galloway was the king bee
for Abbeville in the first half scoring
8 field goals and l free throw while
Billy Long scored 4 field goals. Be-
sides these Donald Harris scored one
field goal.
In the second half Bruce let up and
Billy Long took the lead. Billy made
7 field goals in this half, Bruce only
8, "Buster" Howie 1 and Jimmie"
made another one. Tate was the only
player that failed to make a goal but
Tate did whole lot to prevent Nine
ty Six making any more.
Ninety Six scored only 5 field goals
and made five free throws on Able
ville's fouls.
The only thing Disappointing about
either game was the slim attendance.
Maybethough, since the team has
won game more folk will pay their
respects next week. There are no
games scheduled here for this week
as the team goes to Newberry and
Ninety Six Thursday and Friday.
Next week Newberry comes Wednes-
day and Clinton Friday.
