Washington, Aug. REPORTING
adversely on the Dial bills, which

futures contracts and reduce the
number of grades, tenderable under
the present contract from 10 to 8
the Senate agriculture committee
declared today that it's author, Sem

with the remotest knowledge" of
the cotton business and representa-

"Spot merchants who deal direct

that their purchases necessarily COW

twenty or more grades known to the

Judge Greene might explain how it
has happened that "quite some" OF
the A. r. P. ministers who have
gone over to the &C. P.'s" because
they would find a more fruitful field
have not counted for very much
in their new environment. Judge
Greene, probably knows that n Of
his own "in-aws" thrice removed

.ABBEVLLET TRIMS
GREENWOOD AGAIN
(By VIM. P. Greene, Jr.)

Abbeville won the last game of
the two m series with Green
wood this week. This makes four
STRAIGHT games that Abbeville has
won from u old time rivals. The
game was won in the ninth again,

To catch Clark. When Clark slipped
back to third Bolts was safe on first
E. Galloway singled over second af.
ter Milan had struck out, winning
the game for Abbeville.
Reames was in the picture again
He scored the two runs which tiee
the game. In addition he made one
of the most spectacular catches Of
the year when he robbed a Green
wood player of a three Dagger, Of
possibly a home run.
The players of this league mus
learn not to hit fly balls in the ter
ritory occupied by Abbeville out
felders for all Of them are as fas
as scared rabbits and the ball is il
a tar well when it hits in n o:
their gloves.
Abbeville now goes to second plac'
in the percentage column and i
only about two games behind Ander
son, the leaders. If Abbeville keep
on playing like they have been TO
the last ten days we will lead tn
league by the end of the week
When we get there we are there t
stay. So look out for US Anderso

Mondays Game.
(From IndeX-Journal.)

Eighteen hits sounds like a Nigh
ty big bunch, and it does look like
one in a box score, but it wasn't
enough for Greenwood to win the
ball game from Abbeville yesterday
afternoon. The records show that
with such an array Of bingles the To-
cal boys tailed only six times while
their opponents with half that num-
Der, nine in all, scored eight times.
Of course there were some mitigat-
ing circumstances. For instance
there were some very costly errors
made at the good old ripening time
when runs just dropped across the
plate and there were several miscues
very bad miscues by Umpire Maj
or-which helped the other side, a
fact which they themselves will ad-
nit.

SHORT COURSE AT DUE WEST

O1 INS SooiiIy
moss the beginning of this valuable
course open to Abbeville County CLUB
GIRLS. The Wednesday morning ses-
sion lasted from 10 to 1890. AT
this time Senator j. Howard Moore
gave the girls a very hearty welcome
recommending the great work which
Law before US. DR.. Robinson extend
cd TO us a warm reception also, well
coming US to his town and college.
Mother Walker" dear to every
club girls heart, gave a very valua-
BILE demonstration on picking, after
which a picnic dinner was spread.
Mrs. Johnson gave a very inter-
esting demonstration on hat making
in the afternoon. She also gave a
talk on Leadership which brought
out many new ideas before those
present and made each n see the
need of local leadership in all club
work.
The Woman's Council had a short
meeting at 3 o'clock after which
they were adjourned.
Misses McMurray and Roberts
taught US how to make tea napkins
until we heard the gong sound for
supper. Then it seemed that the
short course had really begun when
these fifty girls started their yells
flor Due West and club work. After
supper we all assembled in the audi
forum for prayer meeting and COM
immunity singing.
On Thursday we had DR.. Hayden
and Miss Todd from Columbia with
us. 1t was indeed an opportunity to
every club girl to have these health
officers, assisted by DR.. Pressly ex-
anime them. During the morning
hours also Miss Neeley, State Poul-
try agent was with us and gave very
helpful talks and demonstrations on
the testing of eggs.
In the afternoon Miss Todd gave
an instructive lecture on "First Aid
and DR.. Hayden also talked to us
about Typhoid fever and how to
prevent it." After supper the good
people of Due West brought their
trucks all loaded with straw and car
Iried US to ride. When we came back
Misses Wilson and Wham had some
games and stunts for us and another
happy day of the short course was
over.
Friday morning DR.. Henry John
son made a most impressive talk on
Thrift and Economy" The ten
commandments of economy that he
gave are well worth practicing. He
told us many interesting things &C
complished by the club boys and
girls of his state.
Miss Snyder gave us a demonstra-
ton in salad making in the after
noon; thus ending the program of
our short course.
We were fortunate in having Mr..
Herman, a leader among our boys,
with US. He gave some valuable talks
encouraging their work.
Miss Mildred Wilson gave the
girls and boys setting up exercises
before breakfast each morning, and
she and Miss Gladys Wham arrang-
ed various games and forms of en-
tertainment for US.
We are indeed grateful to Mrs.
Gibbons, u leader, for making
such a short course possible for US.
Everybody who was present puts it
on equality with the State Short
Course, and to Mrs. Gibbons the
credit is due.
Then, we club girls must pause
to say a word for DR.. and Mrs. Rob-
inson who were so lovely to US. They
made US feel at home with them. l
know that every single club member
is with me when l say that we are
more eager than ever to make our
state the best state and our county
the best county.

General Belief in
Marine Circles Is
That Lenape Lost

That the steamship Lenape, queen
of the Clyde Line fleet, which went
aground off the mouth of the st.
Johns river some weeks ago, will join
the other vessels that have been lost
near this particular point is the belief
of some of those in local marine cir
cles who have seen the position of the
Lenape and know of the treacherous
sands in that particular spot. They
base their belief on the fact that the
vessel has lain long enough to "set-
tie" and that she is now a deadweight
in the sand and every tide does its
part towards burying it still deeper

MOTHER STEALS
FOR CHILDREN;
ONE TELLS ON
HER FOR MONEY
IBy Associated PressI

Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. IA
mother who stole to feed her four
children and then to have one of
them, a 12-year-old, betray her for
a S. reward was still at liberty to-
day while authorities investigated
further her story of misery and
poverty.
Penniless and stung by the
pleas of her children for some
thing to eat, the mother three
weeks ago robbed neighbor's
clothes line of silks, linens mad
other finery valued at $100.
A reward of SIS was offered to
any neighbor's child who could
give a vlue that would lead to the
arrest of the culprit.
Sobbing as if his heart would
break, grimy-faced youngster
yesterday informed Mrs. Nelson
that his mother had taken the gar
ments.
Most of the stolen finery was
recovered. Since the police are in
doubt as to whether they shall ar
rest the poverty-stricken mother,
it is a question whether the son
who betrayed her will profit by
his act.

Was Again Beginning a
Revolution When He
Is Trapped
DETAILS STILL LACKING
Found Little Sympathy
Among Citizens in Re-
cent Months
(By Associated Pressl

Mexico City, Nov. General
Francisco Murgia, arch enemy of
President Obregon for many years,
and one of the men who took part in
the flight that brought death to for
mer President Carranza, has fallen
into the hands of federal troops and
his career as dangerous rebel is
thought to have come to an end.
With the little band of followers
who are the remnant of his recent
rebel ramy, General Murgia was sur
rounded yesterday afternoon near
Durango City and captured, it was
announced last night at the presi-
dents office. Whether he will be
taken to Durango City for trial by
court-martial or be brought to the
capitol and publicly executed has not
yet been determined. Recently he
was described by President Obregon
as mot soldier, but fugitive from
justice"
Was Brewing Revolution.
For long while General Murgia
has been credited with brewing a
revolution. Two months ago he left
his hiding place across the Rio
Grande and came back into Mexico at
the head of a rebel ramy said to
number eight hundred men. Three
weeks ago his forces were decisively
defeated in a clash with troops under
General Escobar at Guarache, in the
state of Durango. Since then he has
carefully avoided meeting federal
troops. From time to time there
were reports that he was rtying to
unite his rebels with those of Juan
Carrasco in the state fo Sinaloa and
the men under Carlos Greene, in Ia
basco, but nothing ever came of these
moves.
The rebellious activities of Gener-
al Murguia never aroused popular
sympathy, except in the northern re-
gions, where as governor of Coahu-
lila, under Carranza, he cultivated
many adherents.
Details of his capture were lacking
here today. There were no reports
except the announcement made by
President Obregon's office.

Cornishmen Keep
Faithful Vigils for
the Run of Fish

St. Ives, Cornwall, Nov. 1.-tOr
fourteen years two gnarled, hawk
eyed fishermen, perched upon a pre-
cipitous cliff at st. Ives overlooking
the Atlantic, have watched for the
return of the pilchard to the Cornish
seas. This fish goes by the name of
menhaden in the United States.
William Noall and Edward Cothey
keep their vigil from dawn until sun
set. They never have their meals to-
getber. One eats while the other
watches for the return of the fish to
the bay which was formerly the pill
chard's favorite haunt.
Fourteen years ago there was the
greatest catch of pilchards ever
known, and wealth came to the local
fishermen, but since then the fish
have only frequented the bay once.
In that occasion they came to within
two miles of the shore, but the whis-
ting of an engine frightened them
away, and possible fortunes were
lost

Grounded Lenape
to Be Pulled Off
If Storm Comes
lRy Associated Pressl

Jacksonville, Nov. The wreck
ing tug Relief came into port yester-
day in command of Captain Foster,
and took on one mile of fifteen-inch
hawser with which to relieve the
great steamer Lenape from her
grounded position On the bar at the
Nassau inlet, where she laid two
weeks. The Relief also took on one
hundred and twenty-five tons of coal,
and provisions and mail for crew of
the Lenape. Captain said that every
thing was now in readiness for tow
ing the steamer off the bar as soon
as a northeast storm blows and the
intensity of the waves is sufficient
to rock the steamer in it's sand era
die.
One member of the steamers crew
came in on the tug to secure a sup
ply of smoking materials, the ships
smoke chest having been entirely
depleted. He returned to the Lenape
with load of cigarettes, cigars and
tobacco. The only provisions sent
out were butter, eggs and cheese, the
ships larder stores having been re-
ported by the chief steward as hold
ing out we'll.
Three hawser lines were already
out from the Lenape for towing
whenever the weather appears pro-
pitious. These were made fast to
buoys yesterday when the Relief
came to port and were again taken
on board and tied off to the tugs
towing bits when she returned. Ad,
ditional tow lines will be run Out
and it is the belief of Captain Foster
that the ship will come off the bal
just as soon as storm blows.

Buying by Clubs
Kills Profit of
London Dealers
(Ry AssocIated Presn }

London, Nov. 1.-The retail trad
ers of the large manufacturing cen
ters of England have declared wal
on the hundreds of girls clubs-Or-
ganized in mills, factories and COM
Imercial houses-which undertake tC
supply their members with candy
silk stockings, underwear and other
apparel at much lower prices than
asked at the stores. The retailers
have lost thousands of pounds yearly
through the activities of these clubs
and their trade in many products has
been permanently curtailed.
The first legal action against the
clubs is being brought by the British
Federation of Confectioners, who are
seeking to have the confection trade
of the clubs stopped as being an un.
fair form of trading.
"Many of these clubs deal direct
with the manufacturers and get bet.
ter terms and prices than the shop
keepers" said an officials of the con.
feetioners' association.
"They are not confined to the fac,
tories and mills, but in Yorkshire
and Lancashire churches and Sunday
schools now have these clubs, anC
their effect on the retail trade is very
serious"
The total amount of money taker
in by the clubs is said to be enor
nous, and it is not uncommon fo,
girls earning two and three pounds
week to spend an average of tel
shillings or more for candy alone.
