Indications point to a large at
tendance of pupils at the summer
school which opens in the graded
school building Monday morning at
9 o'clock. No definite information
can be supplied by the superintend-
ent until Monday when the number
of pupils attending can be ascertain
ed as well as the grades which will
be taught. Several of the regular
teachers in the schools have express
ed themselves as willing to help out
in the summer school work and it is
thought that every pupil who wishes
to do extra work to remove condi-
tions or brush up on "hard" studies
can be taken care of. The hours will
be from 9 to IL o'clock.
The charges for this work will en-
rely depend upon the number TAX
ing courses. Of course the more who
attend the lower per capita will the
charges be. This will all be determin-
ed Monday, the day for enrolment
and classification.

WEEKS-REPUBLICAN AND
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS TO
HAVE; CONTROVERSY DEcID-
ED SOON.

Washington, Aug. 3.-A unani-
nous consent agreement tomorrow in
the senate for final vote on the ad-
ministration tariff bill on either
August II or 19 was hoped for to-
night by both Republicans and DEM
ocratic leaders after a series of pro-
posals, counter proposals and con-
ferences on the subject.
Objection by single senator
would upset the carefully laid plans,
but leaders on both sides said they
knew of no senator who was unwill-
ing that there should be speedy
ending to a controversy that has
engaged the senate practically con-
tinuously since April 20.
The first movement Of an agree
ment for final vote from the Demo
cratic side. Senator Simmons of
North Carolina after a conference
with other minority leaders, pro-
posing August 10 as the date. Ac-
ton on this proposition was deferred
at the request of the Republicans
and after the senate adjourned ma
jority and minority leaders went in
to conference. Just what transpired
at this session is not altogether
clear, but spokesmen for each side
were agreed that Senator Simmons
would renew his original proposition
upon the convening of the senate at
noon tomorrow and the Republican
would put forward a counter propo-
sal for a vote on August II.
Under the agreement submitted
to the senate by Senator Simmons
there would be a final vote on re-
naming committee amendments to
the bill on August 1. Senator Sim.
mons proposed that after that date
debate should be limited to the tar

Washington, Aug. 3.-With spe-
cific plans drawn up for distribution
of coal during the existing emergen-
CIV, Fuel Distributor Spencer was
pressing the completion today of the
Federal organization through which
the final State distribution of the
entire output of mines will be con-
trolled.
AS formally announced by Mr.
Spencer last night after conference
with Secretary Hoover and the cen
trail committee appointed by Presi'
dent Harding, the function of the
Federal organization will cover dis
tribution among the railways, Fed
eral institutions and the States, with
the governors of States to handle
local supply. AS guide in the al
location of supplies, State fuel com
missioners should report at once or
the consumption of coal by the va
rious classes of consumers in thei1
territories with list of those wht

tached to enrolment. Unless the
pupils actually do the work out
lined and pass the tests held at the
close of the session no credit can be
given. Attendance in itself will be no
guarantee that a conditioned pupil
will be promoted.
Pupils who attend Monday should
bring the text books they expect to
study, and also their report and pro-
motion cards.
Records of every pupil in school
the past session will be at the school
Monday so that definite information
regarding the standing of all pupils
can be given without delay.
The school authorities hope for
the unreserved cooperation of pa
irons in accomplishing the sole pur-
pose of this extra session-which is
the assistance it will be to the pupils
who attend. With honest work on
the part of the conditioned pupils
the possibility of repeating a grade
may be eliminated.

many of the industries of the State

Shealy stated that the brick manu-

now. and the Public Service Commls-
sion is endeavoring to supply at
least twenty-five percent of their
needs, especially for those who are
supplying bricks for hospitals and
other public buildings which serve

next few days will see it acute, and
the next two weeks will see many
plants shut down throughout the

the State are not seriously affected
by the situation, Mr.. Shealy stated
and they will hardly have to close

TEACHERS FOR
NEXT SESSION
OF THE CITY SCHOOLS WHO
HAVE AccEPTED-FEW VA.
cANcIEs> YET TO BE FILLED.
NEXT SESSION OPENS FRIDAY
SEPTEMBER 8.

Superintendent J. D. Fulp an
nounces that the following teachers
for next session of the Abbeville
schools have been elected and have
signifed their acceptance:
A. R. Hafner,. F. E. Harrison, Jr.,
Misses Edna Bradley, Ila Wright,
Annie Hill, Jimmie Crowley, Lucy
Little, Annie Thomas, Eunice Felkel,
lola Saye, Rosabel Brown, Rachel
McMaster, Ruth Howie, Mary Hill,
Mary Anderson, May Robertson, Mrs
J. D. Wilson and Mrs. Rosa Morse.
There still remain few positions
for which definite acceptance has
not yet been received, but every po-
sition will probably be filled by
next week. The assignment Of teach.
ers to grades will be announced
within few days. .% ,.....
The next session will open Friday,
September 8 at 9 o'clock, and grades
will be housed as they were last ses-
sion until the completion Of the new
high school building on Chestnut
street. .-
The books for next session have
been ordered by Speed Drug Co.
and it is expected that all will be
delivered for the opening of the
fall term, many of the new books
having already been received.
Due to a new adoption by the
State Board Of Education, many
changes will be made in the books to
be used in the future. There is also
noticeable increase in the price of
the school books, especially in the
grades below high school, but this
detestable feature is one over which
local authorities have absolutely no
control. The people have the salts
faction, however, Of knowing that
they are getting school books as
cheap as the people Of any other
state, the school law of South Caro-
lima prohibiting publishers from
charging more in South Carolina
than they charge in any other state.
Care has been used in making
changes in the textbooks for the Abb
lbeville schools, and in every instance
the cheapest book has been adopted
so long as merit has not been sacri-
feed. Everybody who knows any
thing about school books know that
there is such thing as an unteach-
able book, and it will be false econ
omy to adopt a book which is not
teachable.
The course in the sixth and sew
enth grades which in the past has
been probably too difficult has been
Heightened. No agriculture or civics
: will be given in the sixth grade and
no algebra in the seventh. The his
tory course in the high school has
also been shortened, not in content,
but in practical way which will in
no wise curtail the needed informa-
ton which the pupil should have.
4 A full outline Of the high school
course of study will be given out
, during this month as well as a list Of
the textbooks to be used throughout
tho schools

GREAT INVENTOR
CLAIMED BY DEATH
ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL TO
BE BURIED AT SUNSET TO-
DAY AT SPOT CHOSEN BY
INVENTOR OF TELEPHONE
HIMSELF.

Sydney, N. S., Aug. 3.-At sunset
on Friday on the crest of Benin
Breagh mountain the body of DR.
Alexander Graham Bell, who died
Wednesday morning at his summer
home, will be buried in spot chos-
en- by the inventor of the telephone
himself.
The grave of the venerable scien-
tist the immensity of whose life
work was attested by scores of tele-
grams which came today to the Bell
estate from the worlds prominent
figures, is at a point overlooking the
town of Baddeck, Cape Breton. The
sweeping vista from the mountain
TOD, so admired by'Mr. Bell stretch
es far over the Bras dor lake; sum
set, chosen as the moment when the
BODY will become forever a part of
the sturdy hills, gidls the waters of
the lake until they are really what
their name means-"the lake of the
arm of gold"
Alexander Graham Bell lived to
see experiments which he began
with a dead mans ear less than SO
years ago result in a means of COM
munication for millions of long dis
tance telephone conversations daily
in all parts of the world. The posi-
bility of talking over wire, ridicul-
ed then as a dream by almost every
body except Bell, became during his
lifetime reality, commonplace and
marvellous.
The Bell basic patent, known in
the records at Washington as No.
174,465 has been called the most
valuable single patent ever issued in
the whole history of invention. There
are today over 100000 telephone
instruments through which billions
of telephone conversations are car
ried on each year.
Bell spent three years in night
work in a cellar in Salem, Mass. His
first success came while testing his
instruments in his new quarters in
Boston. Thomas A. Watson, Bells
assistant, had struck a clock spring
at one end of the wire, and Bell was
electrified to hear the sound in an
other room. For 40 weeks the in
strument struggled, as it were, for
human speech. Then on March 10,
1876, Watson became almost insane
with joy when he heard over the
wire Bells voice saying:
"Mr Watson, come here, I want
YOU"
On his 29th birthday, Bell receiv-
ed his patent,
