LONDON DISCUSS ACTION OF
RAILROAD MEN AND TRANS
PORT WORKERS in CALLING
OFF STRIKES.

London, April 16.-Although still
confronted with the strike in the
coal mires and the possibility that
work III the pits will not be resumed
for several days at least. England
faced this weekend somewhat more
hopefully than it did the last, when
it was threatened with sympathetic
strikes by the two other branches OF
the triple aliance-the railway men
and transport workers.
All labor quarters tonight were
still excitedly discussing yesterdays
action by the railroad men and
transport workers in calling of
their strikes and the effect of this
move on the future interests Of la.
Dor. The best hope for an early splu.
tion of the crisis is held to lie in the
new attitude for an Independent in.
vestigation shown by = large section
of the house of commons. It is even
supposed in some quarters that il
was the sympathy which these mem
bers displayed on Thursday while
listening to Frank Hodges the min
ers' federation secretary, which led
him to go further than he originally
intended in the direction of a com.
promise and 80 brought him into
conflict with the miners.
In view of the possibility of pro-
tracted stoppage of mining opera
tions the board Of trade in line with
the other precautions which have
been taken by government agencies
tonight issued instructions for dras-
tic enforcement of the regulations
governing the use Of coal, light and
power. Local. authoritiek are em:-
powered to cut the supplies if any
signs of waste appear and are asked
to urge the public to exercise the
utmost in economy.
No further action by the miners
is expected before the conference in
London next Fridy when represen-
tatives of miners throughout the
country will discuss what shall done.

THE BASEBALL FEVER

The baseball fever is breaking
out everywhere it seems. Saturday
was a great day for the game. Early
that morning, after weeks
preparation, Hoodie Bradley, of
Greenville steret, gathered together
a team of players from the city
schools, made up from those who
failed to make the regular team,
and went down to Troy to show the
people down that way how the game
was played. They did but the score
stood the wrong way.
Hoodie and his crowd have all
kinds of excuses for getting the lit
tie end Of the score. They say that
the whole town turned out to play
against them. Jack Link, who went
along, says that over half the men,
bers of the Troy team were cold
married men,"
Saturday afternoon a team from
Greenville street made up of such
fine players as Jesse Hall Bill
Greene, Horace McAllister and with
Rayford Mcmillan and Tom Howie
as recruits, styling themselves the
"Aristocrats," went up against the
"Laboring men" from Fort Pickens
The game was played at the ball
grounds, and when rain broke it up
in the ninth, the score was Is to ID
in favor of the "Aristocrtas."

ALBERT HENRY IMPROVES
Abbeville Merchant Suffers from Af-
ter Effects of Infiuenza-Illness
in Nature Of Sleeping Sick
ness-May Recover

A message from Atlanta to rela-
tives of Albert Henry announced that
Mr.. Henry spent a good night last
night and is better this morning. Mr..
w. A Calvert who has been in At
lanta for several days returned to
Abbeville yesterday.
1t is announced that the condition
of Mr.. Henry is due to something
akin to sleeping sickness, result of
influenza. While the symptoms are
not exactly the same as those which
evidence a genuine case of sleeping
sickness the physicians have decided
that Mr.. Henry's illness is due to this
cause. In the hope of relieving him
they are applying the remedies usu-
ally applied for that disease, and the
results are encouraging. The physi-
clans encourage Mr.. Henry's friends
to believe that he will shortly recover
from his trouble.
Mr.. Henry was first taken sick some
four, weeks ago with influenza. After
being confined to his home for week
or more he was able to come down
town. In a few days he was taken i'll
again, and since that time has been
suffering intensely from pains in his
head and from nausea.
Sleeping sickness following infu-
enza is a disease due to some kind of
inflammation of the brain, but it is
now generally relieved after brief
period. The disease is however, a new
disease and it is not generally under
stood and it's treatment is still in the
experimental stage.
