Curtis, of Ormee, Heights, Fla., arrived in Abbeville Monday and are spending a few days at the home of Dr. and Mrs. G. A. Neuffer.

BELGIUM TRAGEDY NOT APPRECIATED London, Sept. 24.?The lord mayor of London appealed to the British nennip to aid the starving people in Belgxam, of whom he says -a million i ana a naif are utterly destitute. "We are not yet half awa.re to the tragedy of Belgium," says the appeal. Even Mr. Hoover's wonderfully efficient neutral committee cannot feed t one and a half million destitute people on less than five pence per head jer day, which amounts to no less a sum than 218,570 pounds (?1,092,$50) a week." The lord mayor then announced the formation of a strong committee including Viscount Bryce. "There is no doubht if food is not Sserit," the lord mayor added, "the Germans will allow the Belgians to starve or will shoot them down if "hunger riots occur." f Wilson IBS $ & Heary | Ht jf At this!

Early in the Spring packages of Pimento seeds were distributed to the Girls Canning Clubs by the govI ernment, at Washington, and the young girls were especially energetic in trying to raise this dainty, hoping ! that they would have many cans put j up for making sandwiches in the win! ter. The plants were tended with | special care, but alas, for the hopes i of the young girls, the Pimentos i turned out to be plain red pepper.

We got 1 to Chester, at 10:45, and went to the hotel. We spent a pleasant night, and after eating a good breakfast, wo left on the 8:15 Southern for j Winnsboro. \! We saw a lot of Seceder looking ipeople on the train as we rode from j Chester to Winnsboro, especially in j the Blackstock and White Oak sec- , t'ons. As we passed Blackstock, we . *o!d Bill of Hopewell church, not far away, where his great-grandfather, |' Rev. John Hemphill, preached so many years ago. We arrived at Winnsboro at 9:30. We found the streets torn up with , the work of the sewer contractors, ^ who are busy installing a system of sewerage in the old town. We call !it an old town, and that it is; one ' cannot walk about in it and look at , jme houses, and public buildings with- j out his thoughts going back to Mose?. j It is not this old, but we reai in his- . tory that Cornwallis spent tJ e night . there during tfie revolnti*>n, and Davis Kerr was born there about a hundred and nineteen yearo ago, so j it must be old. | The Qourt House is a quaint old ! building, with four large columns in j front. We went into the Clerk's j' office to look up some reccds and there met the obliging clerk, Mr. Lyles, a representative of th* family which first settled' the county, and \ which has done so much for Fairfield I County. He kindly offered to show 1 in kip A f Ub &U1UC 1III/CI COUUg Uuu^o *.* A110 VA- | iice, but our time was so limited that! we could not avail ourselves of the j invitation; besides someone had' pointed out to our son Bill the bullet:1 holes in the court house wall made during the pistol duel between Sheriff Hood and his posse and the Isen- 1 hower contingent, and we could hardly get him away from the scene, to iay nothing of answering his questions regarding the fatal encounter. But there is some evidence of progress even in the old town. The Winnsboro Bank has a bank building which is a great credit to a town of the size of Winnsboro. It has steam heal, and all other modern conveni- j cnces. The Bank occupies the corner of the building next ttw court hocree, while the rest of the first floor Is ?scupied by Mercantile rstablish ; of Nct *E NO r Mir Inspection ad ! ready to buy before ray. You'll find us j e are showing this s< goods ever shovm in it is to come and see ih in s, Coats, )ress Good: ices you w] >ON 2, - - ments. The upper floor is given aver to offices. Mr. J. E. McDonald, who was a special judge hers at a J term of court, and who is well known here, has offices in the building. In khe bank, we met Mr. T. K. Elliott, a lending business man of the town, who is the president of the institution. He was busy with his customers, but had time to stop end talk to us when we gave him the seceder ?rip. Dr. Oliver Johnson, a Due West product, married his sister. He lives at Winnsboro, and is pastor of I lie A. R. P. church there. He took | its i-ronud to the church arid showed as over the building, which is one of the best in the whole denomination. Dr. Johnson is a fine preacher, and is * greatly beloved by his own congregation and by all other people who know [iim. While we were talking to him, we I >aw a pretty young woman, prettier; than the others we had seen over there. We turned to see j'.ict how rood lookine she was and found it = was Mrs. J. B. Doty, who as an Abbe- ^ nlle girl, was Miss Lucy Henry. She now lives in Winnsboro, where her tl] liusband runs a large insurance busiv< ness. She is as pretty and attrac- *r tivc as ever. She had nou heard ^ tb.it Von Hindenburg arrived at Dr. . NeafFer's last week, so we hud some ^ news for her. I I ci Leaving Winnsboro we drove in t* what Bill called a "Jew Packer" into ' a1 the Greenbrier section, where our ^ d< sister lives. We were with her hus^- vi Dand and his father, a most interest-! ing old gentleman. He pointed out to .js all points of interest as we passed * along. He called our attention to j the fine farm of Mr. Amos Davis, of . ir whom we had "hearn tell" as Sam | Nichols would put it. Mr. Dovis has about finished picking a large crop of cotton, things look entirely "laid by," ' so that we are expecting him over a boon, and when he comes he will' ^ n.-nkohlv iln cnmo IrniH tftlk'ntr 1" J O ja.
