To function here we must have electric power and as the ice on the power lines put practically the whole water power of South Carolina out of commission today, for several hours we were without means to run our plant. Supt. C. E.

Holding the poodle tightly under one arm and her suit-satchel as tightly under the other, the lady in question, came to the torrentous gutter stream, which was about one yard and a half wide and no stepping stones. Her skirt was one-half yard wide, where wideness is a rWot^vo factor, with six inches of slit, making 22 inches in all. Disaster impended, which his dogship saw and gave a poocllish wiggle, which but helped to bring the disaster his way; for when; the actress tried to spread 22 inches over 54 inches of muddy slushy water, the poodl> was precipitated in the icy hath and swept on toward the drain. His owner rescued him, herself, throwing the suit-satchel in the stream to save the poodle. Tightly clutching both muddy articles she made her way to the hotel to give "poodles" a bath. I f J. D.

And not since Sardanapalus,' last| of the Kings of Ninevah and Assyria,! spread a feast before "his friends has^ a finer dinner been offered a waiting congregation than that served by ColJ T. G. White, of Greenville Street, toj forty of his friends Friday evening last. We can prove it by Col. Bob' Link, who perhaps was the only gentleman present acquainted with Sardanapalus until the Colonel introduced his majesty in Abbeville at a possum supper some years ago. j Col. White took sweet, revenge on 1 Will Barnwell and Corp. Kerr, in the after dinner games of setback, by putting them up against Col. Dick' Sondley, champion player of the Un-1 ifoH Stnt&o anH SnntVi Atnpriofl. who completely annihilated the enemy as' he has done Corp. Kerr and Jim Mc-| Millan on several occasions. Daley ] Barksdale went home feeling a good deal like Will and the Corp, because' Uncle Jim, unencumbered with the i poor playing of Col. Pat Roche had no trouble in humbling Col. Daley in 1 the dust. Col. Roche, unencumbered ; with the poor playing of Uncle Jim,!* and with the assistance of Col. Will ( Calvert made Col. Thomas Thomson ! and Capt.

He announces that, as he is giving the dinner, he will select', his own partner. He has received two| communications since he sent out his' ^ invitations, which he wishes pub-; lished. The first is as follows: Col. Jim McMillan, City. Dear Sir,?I accept your invitation < to dinner Tuesday evening. May I j 4 I :he Other Thing j j ;.c. | | mean that Corp.

On February 22 a memorial service | will be held in Abbeville to deliver I the French Memorial Diplomas to the f nearest of kin of those service men | who died during the war, whether, | killed in battle, dying of wounds, or! 1 other cause, in France, United States! | or insular possessions. i | These diplomas are to be presented ! | by the French government thru the, I local Post of the American Legion.) | Similar services will be held on the1 | rbove date in every county in the Un-i | itea states. , = i | About 25 Abbeville County men f were killed or died during the war | and diplomas will be presented to the 1 nearest of kin of all of these men. I The memorial service will probably I be held in the city hall. The full list | of'the men from this county who! | sacrificed their lives in the service I during the war will be published later.; | i I A Post of the American Legion will [ be organized in Abbeville this week.' | It is not generally known .that there; I is a charter for such a Post already irij ? the%possession of 15 former service! f men and that this charter is the sec-, | ond one that was issued in this State., 1 Some time ago an effort was made to; I organize a Post here, but because of, 1 the apathy of many former service | f men it was decided to wait awhile. It| I has been thought best to affect the or-, | ganization at once, with no attempt | at a large initial ? membership and I this will be done. There a;:e prob- I ably 25 men who have already been I approached who are interested enough ? in the movement to make the begin- j ning possible. It is thought that | when the. Post has been organized 1 that the membership will grow. The American Legion has been a mark 2d success in other cities and there is ^ no reason why a Post here would not dit meet with enough support to guaran- ^ tee success. _ Ro _ _ I i not request that I Ire not forced to plf play with Corp.
