WANTS GERM-CkRRYING
FLIES KEPT OFF FOOD

In his desire to prevent the spread
of disease by g"rm-carrying flies,
Health Officer Fowler is instructing
his food inspectors 10 keep watch on
eating establishment and stores to
make sure that foodstuffs are protect
ed from these pests.
The health officer already has ap-
piled to the Police Court for warrants
against several fruit dealers on a
charge of not properly protecting
fruit on their stands.
1T would require only a nominal
expense" said the health officer, for
fruit dealers to cover the stands in
front of their establishments with
mosquito netting or some other form
of screen. Fruits that may be eaten
without removing the skin are an easy
prey for flies on the uncovered fruit
stand"
The health officer also empha sized
to his inspectors the Importance of
lunchrooms keeping a netting or screen
over food that is displayed on coun-
terS.
While he and his men are making
war on the fly in public places, the
heal lth officer again urges housewives
to keep up the battle with swatters
in the homes of the city.

HIGHWAY BONDS
-. 49, PROBABLY SOLD
Highway Commission Received Let
ter Indicating That Bonds Arc -
Accepted by Purchasers.

The Chairman of the Highway
Commission has received letter from
the purchasers Of the bonds for the
building of highways, indicating that
the bonds have been accepted. A form
of bond was forwarded with a re-
quest that the form be approved and
sent to the purchasers. 1t was also
asked that the signatures Of the
Chairman and of the Secretary who
are to sign the bonds be forwarded to
the purchasers. While it is not SO
stated, in 50 many words, the infor-
nation received indicates that the
bonds will be finally accepted when
these requests have been complied
with. The purchasers would hardly
be concerned with the form OF the
bonds nor with the signatures Of the
officers unless the bonds have passed
the legal investigation.
If the bonds are finally accepted,
the Highway Commission is to re-
ceive interest from the date Of the
bonds, and premium of few hun.
dred dollars, but It is to. pay for the
expense Of preparing the bonds
which according to our information
will be in the neighborhood Of one
thousand dollars. 1t is believed by
those who know that the money from
the bonds will be paid over to- the
Highway Commission within the mex,
thirty days, probably earlier.
1t is supposed that the work will
be commenced as soon as the money
is received from the purchasers. just
what roads will be first improved has
not been determined finally, but it is
probable that the road to the Ander-
son County line, going through Due
West and Donalds. and to which the
United States government will con-
tribute one-half the expense Of build
'ng, will be among those first con-
structed.

VAUGHN REFUSES
TO BE IDENTIFIED
Continues to Pose as T. E. Earl In
Florida-Cooper Issues Requfsi-
ton Papers.

Tampa, April TT. U. Vaughn,
held here for South Carolina officers,
is perfectly rational again today and
for the first time discussed his iden-
tity, denying emphatically that he is
any other than T. E. Earl; that he
has ever had another name or that
he has former wife in Greenville.
He was especially emphatic in deny
ing the wife's story, crying out that
he has only one wife and that he
loves her dearly. He gave the sheriff
an order to the county superintend-
ient of schools to pay Mrs. Earl $112
still due him for three weeks serv-
ice in the Port Tampa schools. Not
knowing that his wife's name had
been learned, he refused request
for it, saying it would hurt her in
her home town and that she was
innocent of any wrong. This state
ment wiped out the last vestige of
doubt in the minds of authorities that
they have the right man.
Columbia: Apr. 8.-Requisition pa
pers for the return to South Carolina
Of Thurston u. Vaughn, who is under
arrest at Tampa, Fla, were issued
early yesterday by Governor Cooper
and Sheriff T. Alex Heise of Richhnd
county left at 1885 o'clock armed
with the papers to bring Vaughn
back to this state. &C.
Sheriff Heise will go directly to
Tallahassee, where he will get Gov
ernor Hardee OIL Florida to honor the
papers for the return of Vaughn. The
sheriff will likely reach Tallahassee
this morning.
Vaughn will be brought back here
and not to Greenville, as the old
court order directing that he be re-
moved from the hospital and be
brought before the courts was found
not to be applicable when it reached
here yesterday.

HARDING FOR ENDING DIS.
PUTEs BETWEEN LINES AND
THEIR EMrLoYEEs.-NEW
RULES NEEDED; SAYS THE
STATEMENT. :,

Chicago, April 7.--Five railroad
labor unions with 100000 members
tonight submitted to President Hard
ing. ,labor's plan for ending indus
trial disputes between. the roads and
their workers, proposing that the
president call a conference Of rep
resentatives of both sides at which
new rules governing working con-
ditions would be worked out to take
the place Of the national agreements
now in dispute before the railroad
labor board. ...
The proposal was contained in q
statement by representatives of the
mechanical union and was sent to-
the president by B. M. Jewell, presi-
dent of/the railway employees de-.
partment of the American Federation
of Labor. .......>... .....>
|; 1t proposed that all wage disputes
be held in abeyance pending the con-
ferences, holding that the matter
of wages could be quickly adjusted
to the satisfaction of all as soon as
the question Of rules had been set
tied. " : ...
The telegram was sent in response
to a request from President Harding
at the recent conference he held with
Mr.. Jewell that labor submit its plan
for ending. the railroad industrial
troubles: It included IL points which
were. termed 4abor's self-evident
and inalienable rights" which, it
said, would have to be settled at the
proposed conference and specified
that the national agreements should
not be discontinued in any way pend
ing the outcome of the proposed con-,
ferences. It was suggested that the
conference be held under the juris-
diction of the railroad labor board
which would have full authority
over it.
Included in the IL points which,
the unions said, should be upheld
were the basic eight hour day, the
right of collective bargaining, the
right of each craft to decide what
organization should represent it in
any conference with employers and
adjustment of proper pay" for over
time work.

WILL. MEET MONDAY -
TO SELECT LOCATION
New High School Site To Be Final.
ly Settled. =. .,.,

The board Of trustees are to meet
in w. NJ. Barnwell's Office Monday
afternoon to consider. the location Of
the proposed new high school build
ing. Several propositions have been
submitted the building committee in
different sections Of the city for
their consideration with view, to
selecting a location for the new
building and the merits and de-
merits Of each proposed site will be
thoroughly discussed Monday after
noon. ~. - '-s
So far as can be sscertsined none
Of the trustees has expressed any
personal preference Of the available
sites and the board, both individual
ly and collectively, are willing and
anxious to place the new building in
the most accessible place to the ma
pority of the families Of Abbeyille
in other words to put the building
in the center of the high school
population or as near it as it is prac-
ticable. Of course the question of
price enters and only a certain per-
centage Of the bond issue will be
available for the purchase of
grounds. Practically every one de-
sires sufficiently large lot to in
sure an athletic field and to take
care of additional building when
ever necessary. .,
= The trustees are anxious to do
what the people want j done in re-
gard to additional buildings and
feel that as public, servants they
should have the confidence Of the
public in the matter of what is
wanted and how much. The people
Of Abbeyille realize the urgent need
of more room in their schools and
we do not believe they are willing
for any halfway, job being done at
this time which will give only tempo
rary relief. Let's make permanent
job of it and build to take care of
the school for. the next ten years at
any rate.
The little details preparatory to
the circulation of the petitions call
ing for e. bond election will be clear
ed up at Mondays meeting and the
teachers for another session will be
elected.
