 Garnett wants all history to be taught after Q scheme fathered by the League of Nations. He contents that the present system Is too marrow and too national He wants an interna~ tional textbook of history.
 Tt should not be possibIe,' f1e savs flor one version of the American War of Independence to be taught in American schools and another version date of a battle be considered of more importance than, say, the discovery of the circulation of the blood.''
 Hearnshaw sails this "propaganda talk Why" he asks, should the extremists on the League Of Nations butt in on questions that do not con cern them?

SCHOOLS TO CLOSE
AFTER 8 MONTHS

Due to a shortage of funds it is
practically certain that the 'Abbeville
schools will not be able to run long.
er than eight months this session, ac-
cording to the trustees. Although
every effort will be made to continue
the session, it seems unlikely that
the term can be run it's regular pc
riod. Indeed, members of the board
say, it will not be possible for the
school to continue eight months un-
less some money is borrowed.
The collection of taxes for last
year does not enter into the problem
at all, it is said, since the schools will
face a deficit at the end of eight
months, even should all the taxes due
be paid in promptly. Besides the de-
ficit that is likely to be incurred this
session, the board owes a consider
able amount under the head of past
indebtedness, and the further pledg-
ing of future taxes is not considered
advisable at this time. While the
trustees will find it difficult to meet
the payment of current expenses for
the full eight months, they are plan
ming to continue the schools for that
length of time so a considerable item
of state aid money will not be lost.
A suggestion has been heard that
the patrons of the high school might
be willing to supplement regular
school funds so that this department
can be continued for the maximum

ANOTHER STILL
CAPTURED TODAY

Deputy Sheriffs Prince and Fer

early this morning captured IS
gallon copper still and arrested
three men who were said to be op-
rating it, the plant being located
on the land of ]. A. Gillian, on Lit

arrived on the scene, canebrake
on the very bank of the river,
about day-break, having left town
about 4 o'clock this morning. The
liquid in the still was at the boiling
point when the officers arrived, and
in a few minutes the "cap" would
have been applied and the moon
shine started trickling out in a
sparkling stream.
Three of the four men, two
whites and two negroes, were cap

RAILROADS MUST
... . :H:Iy
GIVE BACK HALF
GOVERNMENT CLAIMS ALL A.
BovE 6 PER CENT MADE UPON
VALUE OF PROPERTY USED IN
TRANSPORTATION FROM SEPT.
l, 1920 TO JAN. 1, 1921.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Railroads
which earned more than six per cent
upon the value of their property used
in transportation during the period
from September 1, 1920 to January l
1921, are required under an order is-
sued today by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to turn half of
the excess so earned over the govern
ment. ...
The order as issued by the COM
mission makes effective sections of
the transportation act of 1920 and
prescribes rules for the application
| of those sections. .. =. .'.'
Railroads during the four months
period specified in the order are un.
derstood to have earned consider.
able amount in excess of the six per
cent limitation prescribed by con-
gress but the valuation not having
given out for the individual lines the
amounts cannot yet be calculated.
The transportation act in addition to
providing that until March /, 1922,
rates should be made by the inter
state commerce commission sufficient
to give the railroads at least 5 1-2
per cent on their properties provided
for the recovery by the government
of half of all the amount earned by
any road over per cent.
The commission in fixing the rates
found a tentative value for railroad
property by groups throughout the
United States but did not segregate
this to individual roads.
General increases were granted in
rates in 1920 and during the last four
months of the year while tarfic VOL
umes were large railroad earnings
were reported in excess of the. six
per cent clause but for all of the
months of 1921 and so far in 1922
the returns have not indicated that
any sums could be collected by the
government under the law.
The statute also provided that in
case excess earnings were received
by the government the money should
be paid into a special fund for the
purpose of lending to railroads and
repaying advances made by the gov
ernment to railroads.

ATLANTIC. STATES.
e SWEPT y / p BY ! / STORM .'
SNOW FALLS FOR MORE THAN
TWENTY-FoUR HOURS, :CAUs.
ING SUSPENSION. OF PRACTIc
ALLY ALL BUSINESS AND so.
CIAL ACTIVITIES.

Washington, Jan. 29.-More than
ia hours of continuous snow had last
night covered the middle Atlantic
section with. Washington as a. center
to a depth Of a foot to. nearly 80
inches; caused the suspension of
practically all business and social &C
tivity,: disrupted transportation and
shut most of the population in their
homes. 49,. .... ..'..
The storm, which weather bureau
officials after looking up their rec
erds said, was one Of the most severe
in history and extended in depth
of snowfall only by. the long remem-
bered blizzard Of February, 1899, was
moving slowly yesterday up the coast
from its position during the day off
Virginia. .,
Reports to the weather bureau
showed that the Carolinas, Virginia,
Maryland, Delaware and District
Of Columbia were bearing the brunt
of the storm and receiving the heav-
lest snow fall. Virginia cities accus-
toned to only an inch or so of snow
and then of rare occurrence, were
buried in many cases to. the depth of
a foot while northern portions of the
Carolinas still were blanketed with a
fall that began Thursday. :; :. .
Washington, however, appeared to
be the. center of the heavy fall, the
weather bureau measurements taken
late in. the day showing the depth to
be closely approaching two and half
feet and the record fall of three feet
established in 1899. All records for
"a hours fall had been broken at 6
o'clock, the hour at which the storm
struck Washington yesterday.
The national capital with its heavy
,
and constantly increasing blanket was
virtually paralyzed as to activities of
all kinds in much the same manner
as in 1909 when a lighter fall, but ac-
companied by rain and sleet forced
abandonment of elaborate plans for
the inauguration of President Taft.
The snowfall in Washington prac-
tically halted governmental activi-
tiles and had it's effect in an inter-
national way of causing the cancella-
tion of two scheduled armament con-
ference meetings.
