E. M. Moss, a fifteen year old pu-
pill in the city schools, and Love-
Booth, were arrested yesterday by

consisting of a converted five gallon
oil can, hose connections and a
crude cast iron condenser. 1t was
fitted up in the kitchen and was in
operation when the officers entered.
The man and boy are being held in
jail, and this morning bond had not
been arranged.
The Moss boy is enrolled as pu-
pill. in the third grade of the gram
mar school.

1 OR z is DATE
FOR ELECTION OF POPE

Rome, Jan 23-The meeting of
the Sacred College in Conclave 10
elect a successor to the late Pope
Benedict, will open February l or
February 2, it was stated today.
While all the cardinals resident
in Europe are expected to reack
Rome in time for the conclave, 1t is
considered extremely doubtful whe-
ther the American cardinals will find
it possible to be present, at least for
the opening of the session, as the
date is set barey ten days away.
Cardinals Mafi, LaFontaine and
Ratti of Pisa, Venice and Milan, re-
spectively, are the most prominently
mentioned in Vatican circles today
as the most likely candidates for the
position as successor to Pope Bene-
dict. In these circles Cardinal Maffi
apparently is a pronounced favorite
even Of these three prelates.

morrow in Elberton

dition., He had undergone treatment
at an Atlanta hospital several weeks

fection caused his death this morn

BLOW FOR CLERKS
SAYS FITZGERALD
President of Union Declares Railway
Labor Board Decision Proves
Great Disappointment

Chicago, Jan. 24.-E. H. Fitzger-
aid, president of the Railway Clerks
union, in a statement tonight declar-
ed that the recent action of the rail-
road labor board in abolishing time
and half pay for the ninth hour of
work VIRTUALLY had created nine
hour day contrary to the interest Of
the transportation act and to com.
mon practice in all industries today"
Mr.. Fitzgerald said he and the
members of his organization were
greatly disappointed over the decis:-
ion, terming it "a hard blow, especi-
ally in view of the proposed further
wage reduction to be sought
eve are also opposed to that part
of the decision covering intermittent
service because it provides split tricks
whereby employees are required to
be available for duty IL hours in or
der to gain eight hours pay" said
Mr.. Fitzgerald.
w. L. McMenimen, labor member
of the board, in statement tonight
said that boards decision removing
punitive overtime pay and other pun
tive rules for shipment, maintenance
of way employees and clerks reduced
the annual pay rolls of the roads by
s446, 100000, according to data he
had gathered.

LEGION MEMBERS
COME IN SLOWLY

Adjutant Neuffer of the American
Legion says that membership dues to
the Abbeville post are coming in
rather slowly. Of the "a ex-service
men who signified their desire to be-
come members, less than half have
sent in the membership fee, in the
Two weeks period that has elapsed
since letters were sent out.
The letters, enclosing application
blanks, we're mailed out early in
January and Mr.. Neuffer believes
that the response will be greatest at
the end of the present month. The
legion will have much work to do in
the near future and the officials be-
lieve that the ex-service men are not
going to let this opportunity pass for
cooperative and material benefits.

FARMER RELIEF
MUST COME SOON
HARDING ADDRESSES NATION
AL AGRICULTURAL CONFER
ENCE AND SAYS MORE ADE-
QUATE FINANCES MUST BE
PROVIDED

Washington, Jan 23-Immediate
relief must be given the farmers in
the present agricultural crisis, dele
gates to the national agricultural
conference which convened here to-
day were told by speakers represent
ing every phase of the industry.
President Harding, who opened the
conference with an address, Secre-
tary Wallace, farmers and represen-
tatives of industries dependent on
agriculture emphasized the serious
ness of the situation and suggested
remedies.
The remedial measures outlined
by President Harding and subse-
quently indorsed by many of the
speakers include more adequate f.
nancial facilities, especially working
capital for the farmer on long time
loans to provide for his turnover,
extension of the cooperative mar
keting, buying and loan association
Of farmers. development of water
way transportation and power posi-
tbilities, more efficient machinery
for collecting and distributing mar
ket information including the de-
mand and consumptdve outlook, de-
velopment of the St Lawrence
Great Lakes waterway project, and
assurance 50 agriculture Of equality
of opportunity with all other indus
tries.
Demand for reduction of freight
rates was voiced generally by the
farmers and a reduction in retail
prices also was suggested as a
necessary tep to start increased
consumption of farm products.
Depression in agriculture which
was declared to be general in the
United States by speakers from five
leading farming regions, is reflected
in industries intimately connected
with and dependent on prosperous
agriculture, it was asserted by rep
resentatives of the milling, packing,
fertilizer and implement industries
Each of the latter pledged full co.
operation with agriculture in any
effort to restoration of normal con.
ditions.

WEEv|L MACHINE
PROVES POPULAR

The "boll weevil killer" which has
been on sale in Abbeville for several
days is proving very popular, ac-
cording to S D Gross, the agent for
the device in this territory. He says
that he has already sold more than
500 and that he is only allowed to
sell 1000 in the county.
Mr. Cross, who is from Chester,
says that his machine will kill the
weevil. He has seen it work in Geor-
gia and he believes it his merit. The
killer is very simple in principle, con-
sisting of detachable tank for the
spraying fluid, connected by a tube
with the spraying nozzle. The nozzle
or feed holes, are inside a heavy
brush which regulates and diffuses
the poison so that it covers a maxi
mum amount of surface. The brush
spray is suspended on movable
arm which allows the liquid to flow
rapidly or slowly according as the
cotton plants are large or small.
The brush is desigreed not only to
aid in the uniform diffusion Of the
spray but to knock the weevils off
the plants. The whole being so de-
signed that it can be attached to an
ordinary plow stock in few min
utes, the plow is supposed to cover
up the weevils that are knocked off.
The appliance has been patented
by a Georgia man and Mr. Cross has
selling rights, he says, only to intro
duce it. The inventor feels 50 certain
of the merits of the device that they
have limited the number that Mr.
Cross may sell in any county.

STEEL INDUSTRY
MAKES PROTEST
CASE PRESENTED FOR REDUC-
ED FREIGHT RATES-SOUTH-
ERN PRODUCERS FOLLOW
THOSE OF EAST AND NORTH
IN APPEAL

Washington, Jan. 24.-Representa-
tives of the steel industry completed
today presentation Of their case in
behalf of reduced freight rates be-
fore the hearings Of the interstate
commerce commission into prevailing
levels of transportation charges and
with practical unanimity asked for
the complete elimination of the in
creases put on freight rates in 1920.
Southern producers, who were the
last to be heard, argued for the re-
moval of the rs per cent. advances
in their territory, exactly as the Eas-
tern and Northern producers had ar
gued the removal of the 40 per cent.
advances which affected them.
GAS a starter, We should have the
rs per cent. taken completely off our
outbound product" declared A. S.
Lucas, speaking for the Birmingham,
Ala, district. "We'd be able to do
business on the rates them"
"Would the general prevalence of
railroad receiverships have any ad-
verse effect on your industry, Mr..
Lucas?" Clyde Brown, attorney for
the New York Central, asked the wit
ness.
The witness replied that he was
mot prepared to answer" but init
mated that the risk could be taken.
Commissioner Lewis suggested to
j: L. Rooney, who testified for the
American Rolling Mills company, that
lower rates might bring poorer rail-
road service.
"Give us a chance at the rates"
Mr.. Rooney retorted, "and we'll take
our chances at the service. We've
got the service now but no business"
Henry L. Lust, publisher of the
Traffic News and expert for num-
Der Of small iron concerns, was one
witness who did not argue for the
general reduction. He expressed the
opinion that general cuts would not
be advantageous to the business but
pleaded for reduction of the differ
entails existing as between different
producing centers. These should be
decreased, he said, since the per-
centage increase of 1920 made them
unbearably high.

MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

BOARD OF MANAGERS REFLECT
ED.-BOARD COMPLIMENTS
MISS REEP AND REFLECTS
HER sUPERINTENDENT-Hos.
PITAL IN GOOD CONDITION.

The stockholders of the Abbeville
County Memorial hospital met last
evening at the hospital and reelected
its board of managers, a quorum Of
the stockholders being represented in
person or by proxy. Miss Blanche
Reep, the superintendent, was 70
elected to this position by the board
after resolution had been adopted
congratulating her on the excellent
manner in which she has handled the
affairs of the hospital. a~ 8.
DR.. C. C. Gambrell was elected to
fill the place made vacant on the
board of managers by the removal Of
the Rev. L. J. Bristow to Alabama.
The other members Of the board are
J. S. Stark, J. F. Barnwell; D. H.
Hill, DR. G. A. >Neuffer, Dr.. J, r.
Power, DR.. J. C. Hill, 8. 81 Rosea-
berg and C II. McMurray. The board
again chose Sol Rosenberg, chairman,
]. F. Barnwell, vice chairman, G. G.
Gambrell, secretary and J. r. Power,
treasurer.
The stockholders diseussed the
financial affairs of the hospital and
it was Brought out that the institu-
ton is in much better condition than
it was a year ago. Although past in
debtedness has not been materially
reduced, the current bills payable,
incurred during the past year, a.,
mount to only $3.50 while accounts
receivable are around $2250. Capital
paid in amount to about $4,000. The
hospital owes $4,000 on it's equip
ment and building. The Hospital
Auxiliary turned over to hospital
managers during the year 31,00p
which was applied to interest . and
other charges.
The present financial condition is
considered by the board to be favor
able. It had not been hoped that the
institution would be a money maker
and it's present status, after the large
service rendered the community is
satisfactory to the stockholders.
The resolution adopted in appIeci-
alton of the fine services she has rem
dered is a complimnt to Miss
Reep as well as to the hospital.
Those who are authority say that,
the percentage of cases. cured or 9TH
erwise handled successfully is above
the average. In the surgical depart
ment the success is even more not
able. One of the physicians says that
in the average hospital 10 per cent
Of the incisions developed ia
fections before the wound
heals, and he considers it remarkable
that the percentage here is below the
average. The board of managers feel
that this satisfactory showing is due
in large measure to the capable ad-
ministration of Miss Reep.
The hospital has done $1,000 worth
of charity work during the year.
Mrs W.T.. Nickles represented the
stock of the auxiliary and Mrs. F. B.
McI,ane that of the civic club.
