BRITAIN WILL BEGIN
PAYMENT INTEREST
BEFORE ARRANGEMENTS ARE
MADE FOR FUNDING-FIRST
INSTALLMENT OF INTEREST
DUE OCTOBER IS, AMOUNT
ING TO $65,oo0,ooo.

Washington. Sept. 12tGreat
Britain probably will begin the pay
ment of interest on her war debts
to this country before arrangements
are made for the funding of the
$5,0OO,000,O00 of obligation, it was
indicated today at the treasury.
On October Is, officials declared,
the first installment of interest on
the British debt amounting to $685.
100000 falls due and, although a
British financial mission has been
expected to leave England in time
to begin funding negotiations with
the American debt commission by
the latter part Of the month, so far
this country has not been notified
of its impending departure. With
September nearly half gone officials
expressed the belief that funding
arrangements could not be worked
out with Great Britain before the
latter part of October.
AS the British debt nowstands
there is .s4,135, 100000 of principal
and S611, 100000 of interest falling
due over the three years ending last
April which was deferred by mutual
understanding until funding plans
could be adopted, so that the Oct.
18th installment would be the first
interest actually to fall due and
payable.
AS yet, according to. treasury off,
cials, there has been no direct COM
municatic~ from Great Britain Of
that nations plans to meet the Oct.
Is payment, but that the amount
due will be forthcoming is regarded
as practically certain in view of
statements by British statemen in
dicating that financial preparations
were being made for the purpose.

Kenneth Gossett Gives Bond in the
Sum of $4,000.

Kenneth Gossett surrendered to
Sheriff F. 3. McLane this morning

The following are his bondsmen: j.
B. Acker, A. w. Boggs, ]. c. Gossett,
w. w. H. Garfield, R. A. Monroe and
J. E. Gossett. They accompanied him

Clerk of Court J. L. Perrin who ord.
cred Sheriff McLane to release the
prisoner.
! Kenneth Gossett was sent to the
penitentiary from Abbeville two
years ago to serve forty year SEN
tence for an attack on a girl while
out riding in an automobile. The
Supreme Court reversed the judg'
.nent on the ground that the specia'
term of Court at which Gossett was
sried was illegally constituted. Cos
sett was re-indicted at the recent
term of the Court and he will now
Undergo another trial.

TOBACCO CROP PROFITABLE
MIR. Quick Sells Tobacco Crop For
Price of 10 Bales Cotton.


Mr.. Quick, who has been running
a tobacco farm on the Martin place
near Martins Mill the present year
has gathered his harvest and last
week took a truck load of tobacco to
one of the markets in the lower Sec
ton of the state. He has just re-
turned and yesterday was exhibiting
his sales sheets, showing what he
had been able to do in the matter of
sales. He marketed according to
these reports little more than 300
pounds of tobacco for an average
price of above 80 cents per pound
For some he received only 6 cents
per pound, and for the best varie-
ties he received as much as 80 cents
per pound. The total receipts were
$1236, and a few cents over.
Mr.. Quick planted only about =
acres in tobacco. This he cultivated
himself. His sales included all of the
crop except that coming from about
one acre of red lands. This tobacco
lis yet to be sold.

KILLS TW0W0MEN
AND SHOOTS SELF
WALTER ALLEN DIES OF SELF
INFLICTED WOUNDS-ANDER-
SON MAN COMMITS SUICIDE
AFTER KILLING WIFE AND
MOTHER.IN-LAW.

Anderson, Sept. 12.-Mrs. Alice
McAllister and daughter Mrs. Sallie
McAllister Allen, were shot and IN.
stantly killed this morning by Wal
ter Allen, husband of the daughter,
at Orr mill. After shooting the two
women, mother-in-law and wife,
Allen turned the revolver to himself
and fired a shot into his own body,
dying this afternoon from his self
inflicted wounds. The two women
were shot as they sat at the break
fast table in the homo of Mrs. Nc
:Ali:s: er, mother oe the wife of Alien
Walter Allen came - here from
Greenville last night leaving there
at midnight, and being driven here
by G. o. Scruggs a taxi driver, who
stated that they arrived here about
S 80 or 6 o'clock. Allen went to the
house Of Mrs. McAllister and as he
walked into the room he asked his
wife where the gun was hidden,
upon being told that she did not
know, he pulled out revolver and
said, "Well, what are you going to
do about it,"
He fired first at the mother Of
his wife and then at the wife, both
being fatally wounded, and then
turned the gun on himself. He died
at about IL o'clock, physicians be-
ing surprised that he lived this long
as the bullet went straight through
from temple to temple.
From accounts, it seems that Mrs
Allen had come to her mother for
protection from her husband as he
is alleged to have abused and i'll
treated her. She had been home a.
bout five weeks. The brother of Mrs
Allen, James McAll;ster, stated that
Allen had always treated my SIS
ter mean." but that this was the first
time that she had left him.
Mrs. McAllister, Sr., was living
with her son and his wife, at No. 3S
Hammett street She kept house for
tile couple while they both worked
in the cotton mill. She was 60 years
of age, and a native of Anderson
county. She had been living in An
derson with Mr.. and Mrs. Jim Nc
Allister for the last nine years. She
came here from Williamson. The
sons and daughters surviving Mrs.

AGREE
ON BONUS PLAN
BILL REPORTED TO THE HOUSE
TUESDAY, DECIDED THAT
CONFERENCE REPORT ON
TARIFF MUST FIRST BE DIS.
POSED OF.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Conferees
on soldiers bonus bill reached an
agreement late today and it was an
nounced that the measure would be
reported tomorrow to the house. 1t
will not be called up there, however,
until after the conference report on
the tariff bill has been disposed of,
which may be on Wednesday or
Thursday. After the house acts the
bonus will go to the senate where
also it is to be put behind the tariff.
-Four major changes were made in
the bill in conference. They were:
Elimination of the Simmons a.
mendment authorizing the financing
of the bonus out Of interest from
the foreign debt.
Elimination of the land reclama-
ton feature which, under the senate
plan embodied in the Smith-McNary
reclamation bill, would have involv-
ed an expenditure of $s5o,ooo,ooo.
The limiting of the time in which
veterans might file applications for
bonus to January /, 1928.
Acceptance of the house provision
fixing the amount to be advanced
for farm or home aid to the amount
of the adjusted service credit in
creased by rs per cent. in place of
the senate plan of amounts ranging
from 100 per cent. of the adjusted
service credit if the application were
made in 1923 to 14O per cent. if
application were made in 1928 or
thereafter.
No important change was made in
the adjusted service certificate op-
tion with it's provisions for plans to
veterans by banks in the next three
years and for government loans
thereafter. The vocational training
aid option and the provision for cash
payments to veterans whose adjust
ed service credit would not exceed
$50 also were unchanged.
Much of the three hours session
of the conferees was understood to
have been devoted to discussion
of whipping the bill into such a
shape as would meet the publicly ex-
pressed objections of President
Harding. 1t was represented by some
of the Republican managers that the
measure probably would have a bet
ter chance of presidential approval
without the Simmons amendment
and the reclamation option and, ac-
cordingly, those were voted out.

RESTRAINING ORDER
IN EFFECT FOR TIME
CONTINUED BY UNITED STATES
COURT AT CHICAGO NOT TO
EXCEED TEN DAYS-HEARING
TO HALT WHILE ATTORNEYS,
URGE MODIFICATION.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE temporary
restraining order granted the gov,
ernment September against the
striking railroad shop crafts and their
leaders tonight was continued in eff
feet for not to exceed ten days.
The original order would have ex-
pired at midnight.
Federal Judge James H. Wilker-
son ordered the continuance of the
government motion at the close Of
the first days hearing on the peti-
ton of Attorney General Daugherty
for a permanent injunction to re-
place it. The continuance, the court
tipulated, will terminate on the de-.
cision in the injunction hearing. Il
AS result of the continuance the
injunction hearing will be halted to-
morrow morning while attorneys for
B. M. Jewell, president and John
Scott, secretary-treasurer Of the
federated shop crafts, argue for
modification of its penalties. Donald
H. Richberg. representing the strike
leaders, served notice on counsel for
the government that he would move
some notifications when court con-
venes tomorrow.
Jewell and Scott were the only
two of the more than 24o strike !.
eaders and 100000 strikers affected
by the restraining order represented
in court by counsel today.
They lost the first battle when the
court denied their motion that the
governments petition be dismissed.
~ am not prepared at this time
to decide that the bill fails to set
up any grounds for relief" Judge
Wilkerson' said, and ordered Black
burn Easterline, assistant to the
solicitor general, to proceed with the
presentation of the governments
case. ~
The government today read into
the record list of nearly rs MUIR
ders growing out of the rail strike,
and literally hundreds Of acts of sa-
botage, assault, dynamiting, whip
ping, derailment of trains, burning
of bridges, rioting, destruction of
property and interference with
trains in interstate traffic.
On the same understanding Judge
Wilkerson admitted certificate
from Postmaster General Wsts
showing that 95 mail trains opefatss
ing over track aggregating 829ig
miles have been withdrawn because
of the strike, and that delivery Of
the mails has been seriously hamp-
cred.

ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result OF

out it in the house. 1t will do all 1t
claims to do. I can't say enough for
it."
Many other men and women through
out the country have found Black
Draught just as Mr. Parsons describes
valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.
Thedford's Black Draught liver medi-
cit1e is the original and only genuine.
