I'VE find. from all the evidence OBJ
tainable. that tho value OF TIE prop
critics in the vicinity would probably
depreclate. causing an unnecessary
hardship on the owners. This forms
the basis for our decision under. the
ordinance governing appeals from the
granting of permits by the building
inspector.
I'VE, therefore, affirm the decision
of the building committee of City
Council. withdrawing the permit fol-
garage issued to Mr.. George +. Pie

on record as strongly recommending
a coming ordinance. which we fee
would have avoided the delay ana un

TO. FINISH
ON [YNCH|NC BILL

. Washington, Jan. 22.-Democratic
members of the house at caucus to-
night agreed to wage fight to the
finish on the Dyer anti-lynching bill,
A resolution was unanimously adopt
ed assailing the measure as "viola-
tive of the constitution" and one that
would have a tendency of increasing
iynching rather than of reducing the
crime.
Those who addressed the caucus,
members reported without exception,
attacked the bill and urged the Demo-
Gratis to stand solidly in opposition
to it
The resolution adopted follows:
"Be it resolved by the Democrats of
the house of representatives in eau
Gus assembled: That we are opposed
to lynching and declare our opposi-
ton to H. K. IL, the socalled anti
lynching bill, as being violative of
the constitution and destructive of
our dual form Of government and
would not tend to reduce the crime
Of lynching, but in our judgment
would have a contrary effect.
"And be it further resolved: That
we appreciate and'approve the course
Of Democratic members of the judi
ciary committee in their opposition
to said bill and pledge to them our
united support in its further consid.
eration."

BASKETBALL GAME
WEDNESDAY 4P. M.

The first basketball games of the
season in Abbeville will be played
Wednesday afternoon when the Troy
high schools two quintets, boys and
girls, come here for a game which
will get under way at 4 o'clock.
The local teams have been prac-
ticing for about two weeks, the
coaches being Professors Daniel and
Hafner. Professor Daniel has the
boys, most of whom are old heads
with one or more seasons of expert
ence. The material from whom the
team will be chosen consists Of Long,
who has been having trouble with an
ankle, but whose experience has been
helpful to the team the two Galloway
lads, Buster Howie, Harris, Roche,
Willie Barnes, who is playing his
first season and is showing up well,
and Glenn.
The girls team, too, remains in
doubt. Mr.. Hafner has such wealth
of promising material that selection
of his team will remain in doubt un-
til the game is called.
It. is rumored that the Troy school
has a fast aggregation and the fans
will profit by double bill for the
first performance.

been called to meet in the Office of
lthe hospital tomorrow evening alb
1880 O'Clock, at which time many
matters of importance to the orga-
nization will be considered. The
election of officers and directors
will also be held. o.:
One of the directors said this
morning that previous meeting Of
stockholders was unable to accom-
plish any definite results due to
small attendance. Sol 81. Rosenberg,
president of the hospital company,
says that it is especially desirable
that a quorum of the stockholders
be present tomorrow. He says that
the present officers have already
served for a longer period than
they were elected for, and that the
who have money in
the organization, are the ones who
should be most interested in the
hospital affairs and he hopes that
enough of the stockholders will be
present to take some intelligent ac-
tion,
