HARDING FAVORS
FURTHER INQUIRY
PRESIDENT DOES NOT WANT
TO CAUSE UNDUE ALARM
BUT THINKS HEALTH SER
VICE is RIGHT-PROTEST
NOT BORNE OUT.

Washington, July 29.-ReplEng
to charges that the administration
had exaggerated pellagra and famine
conditions in the south, President
Harding declared in a letter to Rep
resentative Byrnes of South Caro-
lima, today, that official reports in
dicated the contrary and that the
governments investigation of the
situation would go forward.
The president wrote in response
to letter in which Mr.. Byrnes had
characterized any belief that plague
or famine existed in South Carolina
as IAN utter absurdity." Both the
public health service reports and
private advices from the south, Mr..
Harding said, certainly justified the
opinion that a thorough investiga-
ton should be made.
"You may be assured" the presi-
dent said, "that the last thing in the
administrations mind has been to ex-
aggerate the seriousness of the sit
uation or do anything which would
cause undue alarmN The effort is
merely to develop the facts in order
that proper course may be deter
mined in view of them"
The president quoted a telegram
from Charles o. Hearon, editor of
the Spartanburg Is. CO. Herald, who
declared that although there was
nothing alarming in the South Caro-
lima situation, he felt that the pub
lie health service was 'ton the right
track and should continue tbs inves-
tigation."

the day was the principal topic Cd
conversation. 9The thermometer i:
said to have registered 100 in the
shade about 1 o'clock. Plenty o1
people were ready to swear today

ENGLAND DENIES
BERLIN SYMPATHY
LONDON REPLIES TO FRENCH
NOTE ON SILESIAN QUESTION
IN FRIENDLY CHARACTER BUT
DISAGREES WITH FRENCH
VIEWPOINT

London, July 30-Great Britain's
note to France regarding the Silesian
problem, dispatched last night and
delivered in Paris this morning, re.
capitulates the circumstances which
led to the present situation and re-
flutes the allegation that Great Brit
ain had set herself against the French
and was thereby strengthening the
German attitude. Officials describe
the note as of friendly character,
in marked contrast to the attitude
displayed in the French note" to
which it is a reply. Great Britain, Of
ficials declared, is still anxious to
consider any means by which the
French can be met, but it is empha-
sized that according to news being
received in London there is no danger
threatening the French troops in Sill
esia which renders the sending of re-
inforcements urgently necessary as
the French have claimed.
The note calls attention to what is
described as extraordinary action
on the part of France" in endeavor-
ing to act Independently of the su-
, preme council in insisting upon the
immediate despatch of troops. It
points out that this is an impossible
basis upon which to pursue any fu-
ture policy together, and that no good
purpose would be served by further
discussions until there was clear un-
derstanding of Frances intentions.
AS to the contents of the note, it
was said in an authoritative quarter
that although the tone of the commu-
nication was conciliatory it did not
appear that in it the British govern
ment had made any sensible progress
toward reaching the French viewpoint
The communication expressed a de-
sire to find solution acceptable to
France, it was said, but maintined
Great Britain's opposition to the send
ing of reinforQsments to Silesia be-
fore the meeting of the supreme coun-
Gil August 4. Nevertheless it was ad-
ded, the note does not bear the way
to further discussions and admits of
the hope that the finding of solu-
tion is hard.

LONDON PRAISES
ARMS CONFERENCE
PRESS COMMENTS SAY NEWS
is BEST SINCE ARMISTICE,
AND GIVES WARNING AGAINST
POLITICIANS WITH NARROW
MOTIVES FOR SELVES

London, July 3O.-Hearty approx
al is expressed by several Londor
newspapers this morning over the
japanese government decision to &C
cept President Harding's invitation
to discuss limitation of armaments
and the Far Eastern question.
The Times in a lengthy editoria
says:
"Japan's best friends knew thai
she would accept the invitation but
the fact that her acceptance now i:
actually on record is relief to al
who realize the magnitude of the is
sues with which the conference will
be confronted"
Speaking of the constant tempta'
ton politicians with narrow motives
will find to drag subsidiary questions
before the conference Gin order to
make capital for themselves" the
Times says every precaution must be
taken to guard against such proceed
ings in Washington.
""From this viewpoint, Japan's de.
sire to limit the scope of the agenda
is to be approved" the newspaper de.
clares. The writer also is convinced
that japanese in making reservation
as to what shall be discussed at the
conference is not acting merely from
desire to safeguard her present in
terests in the Pacific, but also under
strong impulse to reduce the bur-
den of naval armament. The editorial
concludes with the hope that friend
ship, tried and proved in alliance,
may be broadened and deepened in a
greater union that will be sure bull
wark for peace"
The Daily Telegraph says that an
agreement between America Great
Britain and Japan that such con-
ference is desirable, "is the best news
which has gladdened the world since
the guns ceased firing in Europe and
it looks as though before long we
shall not need to contemplate with
misgivings activities in the shipyards
of the United States and Japan"
The Daily Mail says if the confer
ence succeeds in limiting the great
naval programs now in progress it
will render a great service to all con-
cerned, not the least of which will be
the japanese people on whom the
enormous cost of armaments Is begin
ming to weigh heavily.

MARKET DAY TUESDAY
Will Be Observed Every Week As
Long As Customers Come.

Tomorrow will be the third market
day for Abbeville and Miss Crowthe,
home demonstration agent, says that
every Tuesday, until further notice
country produce will be offered for
sale on the square. The previous sales
have proved in every way satisfac-
tory. Practically all the produce Of
fered has been sold. The housekeep.
ers of the city seem to appreciate
the opportunity of going to the wag.
ons and choosing their own veget.
ables and fruits as well as the fail
prices which prevail. They say that
if they buy it themselves, they are
sure of getting just what they want
and it is always fresh.
It is reported that certain mer.
chants have protested at the prices
charged for some of the produce, or
the ground that they are too low and
they could derive no profit by selling
at similar prices. Miss Crowther ex.
plains that since every person pays
cash and carries home whatever she
huys, it is only fair that they should
have some remuneration in the way
of price saving, else they would or
der direct from the grocers by tele
phone as has been the custom. Most
of the grocerymen take the attitude
that the market can not hurt theil
business materially since most of the
stuff sold from the wagon is of per.
ishable nature and has to be ordered
fresh every day. The market is con.
'ucted only one day out of the week,
but groceries have to be supplied eve
ry day, which gives the grocerymen

causes his audience disappointment
One night last week as he was on his
way to Central School house an axle
broke. He managed to get in COM
munication with a man with a truck,
but the truck could not pull him in.
A pine pole was cut and the broken
axle was swung on the pole with one
end tied to the front axle and the
other dragging the ground. A tractor
was commandeered and the outfit
drawn to the school house several
hours late. The audience was waiting
and when the show was over it was
after midnight.
Mr.. Burrows says that people Of
ten walk long distances to see the
pictures and many say that they have
never seen a moving picture before.
They always show great interest in
the show and the mechanism Of the
outfit that makes them possible.
DR.. Hayden made the lectures in
conjunction with the showing Of the
pictures in Abbeville, and in The
State of Sunday was the following in
terview telling Of his impression of
the Abbeville mill village:
"Mark interest in sanitation and
health is being manifested by mill
authorities and mill operatives in
the plants at Abbeville and Ware
Shoals according to DR.. A. H. Hay
den, epidemiologist of the state
board of health, who visited those
two towns last week.
cat Abbeville health meetings ex-
tending over two days were held and
many short. talks on health and san
iation were made in homes. DR.. Hay
den says that he and E. L. Flby,
state sanitary engineer, at the So
licitation of the board of selectmen.
visited house after house in the va.
rious blocks and that in many of the
blocks one particular house was des-
j ignated as a meeting place for the
people living on that block. At these
meetings many women and quite a
number of men were present and
health affairs were discussed.
"The conditions in the mill village
at Ajbbeville were almost ideal, DR..
Hayden says, and the fine spirit OBJ
tanning between mill operatives and
mill officials was most pleasing. Ami
cable relations exist, DR.. Hayden
says, and the workers and employers
are thoroughly in accord. Tuesday
night an informal banquet was ten
dered the health workers by the
board of selectmen and Wednesday
night meeting was held with the
board of selectmen at the request of
the board.
"At Ware Shoals DR.. Hayden says
the mill authorities and the nurses
were much interested in the health
of the village and were eager to dis
cuss improvements that might be
made. DR.. Hayden was requested to
return to this town in August.
"Dr. Hayden also visited Seneca
last week to discuss with the town
officials laws and regulations for
conserving the health of the people"
