MRS. JAS. L. MARTIN
DIED SATURDAY MORNING
Funeral Held Sunday Afternoon at
Presbyterian Church, lnterment
at Long Cane Cemetery

Mrs. James L. Martin, wife OF the
Rev. j. L.. Martin, died suddenly Sat-
urday morning between midnight and
dawn. Mrs. Martin had not been feel
ing well for several days but had
been up and attending to her house.
hold duties. She was awake about
midnight, but probably had been
dead for some hours when DR.. Mar
tin awoke and called her.
. Mrs. Martin was before her mar
riage a Miss Stitt of Fairfield county
and was about 80 years of age. She
and DR.. Martin moved with their two
children to Abbeville in 1870 when
DR.. Martin became pastor Of the Alb
beville Presbyterian church, which
pastorate continued for nearly a
quarter Of a century.
Since DR.. Martins resignation as
pastor of this church many years ago
DR.. and Mrs. Martin have made their
home in Abbeville for most Of the
time. Mrs. Martin was splendid
type of womanhood, always active in
church work up to the day of her
death, regular attendant upon the
services of the church and a devoted
wife and mother. She leaves place
in the Abbeville church and among
the people of her neighborhood which
will be hard to fill. Her devotion to
her half-invalid husband has been the
incidental cause for many favorable
compliments of her beautiful charac-
ter. Her passing is lamented by the
people of Abbeville generally, but es-
pecially by those who were most In
innate with her and who knew and
recognized her excellence.
She is survived by her husband,
who has the sympathy of the whole
community in his bereavement, and
by a daughter, Mrs. Nora Wright of
Pasadena, Calf. "A son, Thomas,
preceded her to the grave several
years ago.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Sunday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
in the Presbyterian church by Rev.
H. C. Fennel of Lowndesville, assist
ed by Rev. G. NJ. Telford of Long
Cane and Rev. J. B. Hillhouse Of
Lebanon and interment was at Long
Cane cemetery.
The following were active and
honorary pallbearers:

"CREATEST STRIKE In -.
HISTORY" is PLANNED
United Mine Workers Complete
Plans For A Big Ono
April 1st.

NaCFS1oua, W., mdISu 6Os! A0
general policy committee of the
United Mine Workers of America
met here today to complete arrange
ments for putting into effect what
International President John L.
Lewis declared will be 'tthe greatest
strike in history" The meeting was
held behind closed doors, but it was
understood steps would be taken to
arrange and conduct the strike
without leadership, from the time it
starts April /.
Full power to conduct the affairs
of the union during the suspension
of work was vested in the policy
committee by the miners in conven-
ton at Indianapolis last month. The
committee also has the authority TO
negotiate for a new wage agreement
between the miners and operators.
One Of the most important ques-.
tions expected to be decided by the
committee is whether district unions
shall be allowed to enter into separ-
ate agreements with the mine own
ers. At their Indianapolis convention
the miners voted against regional
conferences. ....
The subject was expected to
bring forth the long standing fac
tional fight between President Lewis
and Frank Harrington, president Of
the Illinois miners. Harrington was
said to be prepared to demand that
regional conferences be permitted.
He is said to have many supporters.
Mine owners who live here ex-
pressed hope that Lewis and Far
rington would reach an agreement.
They claim that the future Of the
coal trade of the Great Lakes is af-
fected by the controversy. :,
Washington, March 25.-Presi-
dent Harding and his cabinet were
urged IN a telegram taken to the
White House today by Representa-
tive Upshaw, democrat, Georgia, to
take action to compel mine opera
tors to meet the miners in a wage
conference before the present con-
tract expires on March 81 or in
event Of refusal Of the operators to
do so for the government to take over
the mines and operate them until the
operators agree to such a confer
ence.
The telegram was from E. l..
Quinn of the Atlanta Federation Of
Trades and Mr.. Upshaw requested
that the matter be brought before
the cabinet at it's meeting today.
The Georgia congressman said he
was in favor of drastic action to
avert the threatened coal strike.

tigation has been instituted by the
