REPUBLICANS PREPARE '
;w\T0 INVADE SOLID SOUTH
ON ISSUE OF LEAGUE
Washington,Nov. 25.? With
politics fastconiing tothqfore, Republicans
and. Democrats are making
every effort 'today to prepare for a'
test of strength in the congres^
sional election 'wO Ninth North
Carolina district
Interest centers in the fact that
the rejection of the treaty by this
senate probably will be one of the
main factors in the campaign and
that the result will give political ob
servers acme idea of how the country
has accepted the senate action. v
The election, set for December 16,
is to fill the vacancy caused by resignation
of Edwin Y. Webb, to aocept
a federal judgeship. Republicans
encouraged by recent victories
in Oklahoma and Kentucky, will make
strenuous efforts to extend their lines
into the solid south, which they claim
is showing signs of j>reaking.- The
Democrats, evidently alarmed by the
election of a Republican In an Okla*
homa district that is normally .6,000
Democratic and by the G. 0. P. sweep
in Kentucky, are ' preparing to send
their best ctmptigners into the district.
The Republicans bare chosen as
their candidate, John N. Morehead,
G. O. P. state, chairman, who represented
the district in congress for
one term before Webb's election.

ABBEVILLE TEAM TO* <

UP-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
"1 f .
It bad ben hoped that a game could
be arranged for this week between ]
AKKptrillci TTicrVi finhnhl and Rmanvillo
High School football teams for the (
up-state championship, but because ,
of the inability of the Abbeville
eleven to go Jx> Greenville and of that }
team to come here, the game has been j
postponed until arrangements can be
made for a date. ; 1
It is the intention of the local man,agement
to try to get Greenville to j
come here and to thia>end means 'will
be taken to raise sufficient guarantee J
from the business men of Abbeville..

A game- between Abbeville and Greenville
should driw a crowd; 1
and it iB hoped that sufficient sup- ^
port will be forthcoming to bring the
game to Abbeville. The /Greenville ^
team averages 140 pounds, while the
local eleven hardly tips the scales at
95 pounds.
This is'a serious handicap, but

ANGELES MUST DIE ?

Juarez, Mex., Nov. 25.-Gen. 3
Felipe Angeles and his two companions,
Maj. Neater Enciso de Arce, 1
and Soldier Antonia TriDo, captured *
near Parral, Chihuahua, November 5
15, by Maj. Gabino Sandoval, werej*
found guilty by a courtmartial at Chi-|c
huahua City this morning and sen-j#
tenced to be shot at noon today, ac-'i
cording to information received by!
Judge- Gonzales Medina of the Mexi-!
can federal court here tkis afternoon.
The sentence was not carried out i'-.
was said because the attorney for An- ^
gales appealed to the federal court at
Juarez) and the supreme court of ^
Mexico ?t Mexico City for ? rt?y of '
execution by applying for a writ of
habeas corpus. " ' ' ?
xne Juarez court denied the appeal,
Judge Medina holding his court had
no jurisdiction and the supreme court
was the only tribunal which could act. j
Besides the supreme court, President ^
Carranza also could save the con- ,
t
condemned man with a pardon.
It was said by court officials that if
?
the supreme court grants the application
it simply means that the court
will only review the proceedings of
the courtmartial and that if no errors ^
are found it will mean carrying out
of the sentence unless Carranza inter- ,
venes . Carranza already has many ^
petitions seeking clemency for General
Angeles.
