Reach Was Going Good Until His Sew
eraI Wives Began Comparing Notes.
Ben w. Reach has been ousted from
his self-created job Of moulder of form
and settler of fashions for young and
careless Alliance youths, according to
an Alliance, Neb., dispatch. Ben is in
Jail, charged with having two or three
more wives than the ungenerous law
permits and with having separated
about every business man of any
standing from the value of varying
amounts Of goods that have gone to add
to Bens pulchritudinous proportions.
Reach came to Alliance little over
a year ago, and since then has man
aged to acquire a large number OF
debts and one more wife. He cut
quite a swarth in business circles, had
a number of brilliant schemes for in
creasing the population and was in
tensely interested in Boy Scout work.
He proved to be an expert In radio
phone and set up in his garage a
sending outfit with which he cheered
the lonely hours of ranchers by broad
casting nightly concerts.
He made the mistake Of going back
to his old home in South Dakota, a
move that set up an uneasiness in the
breasts Of local creditors, who began
to compare notes and then grew more
suspicious. When he came back the
First State Bank caused his arrest on
charge of obtaining money on false
pretenses.
A wife came hurrying back from
South Dakota to help him out Of his
trouble, but when she was handed
over letters in the. possession of the

LEES FAMOUS HORSE.
Beautiful White Steed Is Subject of
Mural Painting.

The two historical horses, the
mounic vi General Grant and General
Lee. which appear in Stanley Arthur's
mural painting, THE First Day of
Peace" for the Capitol ut Dover Del,
have been arousing discussion among
veterans who remember the heroes

The white horse upon which General
Lee is mounted in the picture has
been identified as Traveller, the silver
beauty that went through four years
of war with the Confederate COM
mander and escaped without scratch
General Lee was his only rider. No
one else might put saddle on Travel
Ter, and after his masters death he
had TO he turned out TO pasture, for
he would permit nobody TO mount him.
General Lee took Traveller with him
when he accepted the presidency of
Washington and Lee university and
moved to Lexington, Va. He rode his
war charger along the highways about
the college, often so lost in thought
that he passed people without seeing
them.
To every mood Traveller would ac-
commodate his gait, and he had almost

"REV.", GENERAL TITLE.
Not Exclusive Possession of Estab-
lished Church, Declare Lords.

Litigation was concluded recently
before the Lincoln Consistory court in
which a conscientious parish clergy
man vainly opposed the erection of a
memorial tablet to a landed proprietor
on the ground that the inscription was
too laudatory, says n London, Eng
land dispatch to the New York World.
The daughter of a local Wesleyan
minister had died and had been buried
in the churchyard, and the father pro-
posed to have her described on the
tombstone as daughter of the Rev.
John Kent" The question involved
was the right of n dissenting preacher
to use the title Of reverend"
The house Of lords decided that the
title was one of courtesy only, and
was not the exclusive possession of
clergymen Of the Established church.
Had the state of the law been
known n few years earlier Lord Pal
merston need not have been rebuked
by the speaker for referring to John
Bright as "the honorable and reverend
member" or in a still earlier are

deans should be addressed rs Rather

COCAINE FOR ABsINTHE.
Quantity of Doug So Great Il is Now
Regarded as National Menace.

Cocaine has taken the place Of alb
sinthe as the national peril of France
and the medical world is alarmed by
the extension Of the new vice. Police
raids periodically uncover stores of the
powder in Montmartre, and the dock
cts Of Paris courts are loaded down
with cases involving dope sales.
The newspapers have begun a cam
paiSn against the drug habit and one Of
them, the Paris Excelsior, says a vsrit-
able exchange exists in Paris, where
prices on cocaine are quoted from day
TO day.
Not only is cocaine consumed heav-
lily in night resorts OF the capital, but
in provincial towns and villages as
well. Three trunks seized by customs
officials recently at st. Nazaire from a
steamer that had just arrived from
Mexico were found to contain 100
pounds of cocaine. Nearly 13O cases
were unearthed at one swoop In the
Latin quarter Of Paris.
To stop this nefarious traffice in
coke" medical experts demand these
stern legislative measures: Imprison-
ment, fine and exile against smugglers
and venders; closing Of amusement
places where dope has been discovered.

creation Of an international commission

"Ask the citizens of the state to
compare that record with that of Nc
Leod in the counties where he is best
known and in his home town." said the
former governor. STUDY the figures
for yourself" he added, and handed the
correspondent a morning paper which
is not friendly to his candidacy. The
results show that in Lee county, Nc
Leod's home, Blease received 1,145
votes to 96S for Mcleod. In Dillon
county, the home Of Mrs. Mcleod,
Blease received S95 votes and Mcleod
500. In Lynchburg, where Mcleod was
born and reared to maturity and where
he lived for a number of years after
completing a course at Wofford Col
lege, of total vote Of Sc, Blease re-
ceived 80, Mcleod IA, and Laney 8
At the campaign meeting at Spartan
burg, Mcleod told the audience that
he felt at home in Spartanburg where
he spent four years as a student at
Wofford College. In Spartanburg coun-
ty, the returns show that Blease led
with 4,S99 votes to 1929 for Mcleod.
In McLeod's Community.
Carrying the comparison out further,
it will be noted that in the four coun-
ties surrounding Lee, Blease led Nc
Leod in all except Sumter. In Ker-
shaw, the vote was: Blease lab, Nc
Leod, S62; in Darlington, Blease 1908,
Mcleod 1,444; in Florence, Blease, g.

Blease asked that consideration be
given these comparative figures, invit-
ed an investigation of the cause of the
minority vote given Mcleod in his
home county and home town box, and
feels assured that the verdict of the
people Tuesday next will increase this
lead and give him large majority

is UNIONISM WANlNG2
Charlotte Mill Owners Say They Don't
Fear Strike Bludgeon.

The strike bludgeon held over the
heads of Southern textile mill owners
by President Mcmahon of the United
Textile Workers of America, is dread
ed no more than q babys rattle, says
Charlotte, N. c., dispatch.
At least that is the sentiment eX-
pressed by many owners of mills here
and elsewhere in this section with
headquarters in Charlotte. They were
frank to admit in interviews Thursday
afternoon that they do not fear the
threatened action of the president of
the textile union.
According to word from the North,
Mr.. Mcmahon is threatening to call
strike in Southern cotton mills next
spring in order to force the hand OF
mill owners for the establishment Of
the 4S-hour week. He is now laying
his plans and has already made pub
lie announcement of his intentions.
Textile unionism, say mill owners
here, is the next thing to word in a
dead language. Textile operatives here
and in nearby textile centers have be-
come "disgusted" with the union as
ness last summer when the strike
availed them nothing, mill owners as
sert.
Many of the operatives, it was ex-
planned, have not gotten Strengthened
out from that strike and are still pay
ing off meTchants' debts incurred dur
ing that period of idleness when all
was going out and nothing coming in.
The textile organization is a mere
skeleton of it's former self and plays
no part in many of the larger mills Of
this section, declare the owners.
Hence 1t is the belief of the owners
that n strike call issued by Mr.. Nc
Mahon will not be needed unless pres
ent conditions materially change. I'm
less the operatives can be offered
something more attractive than the
strike of 1921, another call for walk
out will be passed up, assert owners.
The present working schedule is SO
hours week in the majority of North
and South Carolina mills and, accord
ing to owners statements, thii' is q
satisfactory arrangement. Workers are
apparently satisfied with the schedule,
according to mill officials.
The railway strike, with its result
ont shipment of coal, is causing
more trouble and worry to mill heads
than the threatened strike call Of the
union official. If the shipments of fuel
gre not forthcoming, mills will be
forced to close down and that is an
added factor against the chance of a
summer strike, it being the contention
o: mill owners that operatives will not
care TO quit work.
The question now confronting own
crS is the care of operatives and get
ting enough coal to keep them warm
during the winter months. Owners are
determined to see that sufficient coal
IS gotten and workers will be given
every possible attention and coal fur
nishcd in every instance, it was said.

Historical Pictures.-The National
bank received Wednesday morning
group of five historical paintings which
will be placed in the bank in the near
future. The pictures have as their
subjects, scenes and events of impCr-
tance in the history of Abbevillc aid
are interesting both as works of art
and as accurate pictorial information
of the towns past. They are large in
size, being about five by three feet and
are the work of William G. Kurtz Of
Atlanta.
Mr.. Kurtz is a Northerner and an
artist of note. Early in his career he
became interested in the history of the
South and especially in the period of
the Confederate war. He came to At
lanta to study the events of that time
and to obtain first hand information
concerning them. Since then he has
completed numerous paintings of an
historical nature.
The first of the group at the Nation
al bank shows the first Secession
meeting which was held in 1860 on the
hill back Of Mr.. Richard Sondley's
home on Magazine street. An ardent
Secessionist is addressing a group Of
men in frock coats and women in hoop
skirts.
The second painting Is Square
scene in Abbeville. In the background
is a group of buildings among which
are the old National bank and the for
mer home of p. b. Speed. Two cover
ed wagons drawn by oxen and other
cotton laden vehicles driven by ne
groes are features. In the central
foreground stand L. w. White, G. A.
Visanska, and w. Joel Smith, who
were among the first directors Of the
National bank.
The next picture is portrait of Gen.
Andrew Pickens. He is mounted on
white horse and is stationed, gun in
hand, before the old Block House
which is said to have been strong
hold against the Indians during the
Revolutionary war. The fort is said
to have been stationed in that section
of town now called Fort Pickens, in
honor of the subject of the painting.
Another of the five shows Joh!! C.
Calhoun standing near stage-coach
before leaving for his home. Calhoun
is in an impressive attitude with hand
on hip and with long cape draped
over his shoulders. In the back
ground is the old wood burner engine
of the Abbeville Division, whose
smokestack looks rather larger than
the engine itself. A traveller carrying
a carpet-bag, an oak watering trough,
and an "old time slavery uncle" give
touches which bring to mind glimpses
of the old South.
The last painting. somewhat larger
than the others, represents the last
meeting of the Confederate cabinet,
which was held in the Burt house, now
occupied by J. S. Stark. President
Davis is standing and the members of
his cabinet and the generals in at
tendance are seated around him. The
details of this picture are correct. The
fire place and mantel of the room, the
quaint old arm-chairs, the shaded
lamp are all as they were at that
time. A picture of John C. Calhoun
above the mantel is not historically
accurate, but was added for effect.
These pictures are we'll worth see
ing and the National bank is to be
congratulated on having Abbeville's
history recorded in such an interest
ing way-Abbeville Press and Banner.

DEATH OF WASHINGTON.
Old Newspaper Account of Demise of
First President.

A copy of the Ulster County Gazette,
the second Oldest newspaper in the
United States has recently been found
in this community, relates a Grove
City, Pa, dispatch. The issue is of
the date of January, 1900. The col
umn rules of the publication are all
turned as an expression of mourning
for the death of President George
Washington, which occurred December
IA, 1899, and an account of which is
carried in the issue.
In addition to the obituary notice
the paper carried the resolutions OF re-
spect drawn by the senate and the adj
dress of the president, John Adams,
who succeeded Washington. Follow
ing is the Gazette's story OF the death
and funeral OF Washington:
WASHINGTON ENTOMBE
Georgetown, Dec. 20, 1899.
On Wednesday, last, the mortal part
of WASHINGTON the Great, the
Father of His Country and the Friend
Of man, was consigned to the tomb,
with solemn honors and funeral pomp.
A multitude of persons assembled,
from many miles around, at Mt. Ver-
non, the choice abode and last resi-
dence of the illustrious chief. There
were the groves, the spacions avenues,
the beautiful and sublime scenes, the
noble mansion, but alas, the august in
habitant was now no more. That
great soul was gone. His mortal part
was there indeed but ah how affecting,
how awful the spectacle of such worth
and greatness thus to mortal eyes fall
en-, yes, fallen, fallen.
In the long and lofty portico whereN
oft the hero walked in all his glory,
now lay the shrouded corpse. The
countenance full composed and serene,
seemed to depress the dignity Of the
spirit which lately dwelt in that life
less form. There those who paid the
last sad honors to the benefactor of
his country, took an impressive, a
farewell view. On the ornament at
the head of the coffin was inscribed
Surge Ad Judicium. About the middle
Of the coffin, Gloria Dec, and on the
silver plate:
GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON
Departed this life on the 14th Decem-
Der, 1899. Act. 6S.
Between 8 and o'clock the sound
of artillery from vessel in the river
firing minute guns awoke afresh our
solemn sorrow. the corpse was remov-
ed to band Of music that melted the
soul into all the tenderness of woe.
The following procession was FORM
ed:
