Elect Captain and Manager. The letter men of the Abbeville High School football team met Tuesi day night and elemted Allen Long Captain and Billy Long manager of he 1920 football team. The 1919 s season for the local team was quite successful, although all of the games were not won; it was the first time 5 in a number of years that the local school had gotten out a team and the players were youn^ and lacked weight. "Watch us next season," is their slogan now. EXAMINATIONS COMPLETED. ' For the past week absolute quiet has prevailed in both the graded and high school buildings, for everybody r was passing thru that dreadful semiannual experience of trying to please those inquisitive teachers. Examinations have been the order of the week nnd yesterday saw the last ghost walk. - Reports are not available showing just how many were able to satisfy satisfactorily the teachers' ^ curiosity to discover just how much or how little the pupils did know, but juaging irom tue seuuusucos v?x v-woression on the faces of usually beaming boys and girls there is evidence that not every one "made a killin."

This season when he announces r that the "Million Dollar Doll in Paris," which is the third edition of this famous play, will be absolutely s^new, the theatre goers have every ^ confidence in his promise, and know y | that he will keep his faith with them. S| The series of "Doll" shows has I played to over two million people, I- ?j i _ : , i__ _c Iauu tiiib tiiiru is said LU mr y, surpass anything ever offered in this 0 line of plays. n n PERSHING BARS POLITICS. s< ' \ ??j Seattle, Wash., Jan. 20.?While in 3* I Seattle today Gen.

If all gifts to mission?, h< j education and benevolences made |since May 1, 1919, the date when M ithe Campaign really began, were ad- M :jded, the total of the South Carolina ei I subscription would overtop the $8,- H [1500,000, and the canvass is still in! oversubscription is the largest per-vi :jcentum increase thus far reported in H the South, this being 35 per ccnt. r with Georgia a close second.
