THE DAUGHTERS MEET
The Daughters of the Confederacy

afternoon at the home of Mrs. J. F.

well attended by the members and
there were many invited guests. Miss
Nettie Russell made a report of the
meeting of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy which met in Ashe
ville in the early fall and Mrs. P. A.
Cheatham told of the meeting of the
state organization in Greenville a
few weeks ago. There was a roll call
of the members to ascertain just how
many had their memoersnip papers
properly made out and notice was
given that a vote would be taken at
the next meeting on changing the
name from "Abbeville Chapter" to
"Secession Chapter."
After the fashions of the old time
spelling match sides were selected
and questions were asked from the
Confederate Catechism arranged and
presented the chapter by Mrs. F. J.
Marshall some time ago. This leaflet
contains facts of Abbeville County
history and is most interesting. Many
of the ladies did not know their
catechism Tuesday but the questions
brought forth an animated and lively
discussion of war time history.
After the business meeting de
rofrocVimpntn of chicken sal
ad, sandwiches, cheese straws and
coffee was served. The chapter is
getting so large that the entertain
ing has been divided and Tuesday
afternoon, Mrs. J. fc. Klugh, Mrs. J.
F. Bradley and Mrs. Wallace Loraax
were hostesses, each inviting her
friends and adding to the entertain
ment of the afternoon. Mrs. Bradley

The Daughters have a large organ
ization and their meetings are a
pleasant combination of business and
pleasure.

DANIELS RECOMMENDS
A NAVY EQUAL TO
ANY IN THE WORLD
World Conditions' Of Chaos, Diss*
greement and Trouble Makes
Continuation of Naval Con
truction Necessary
Washington, Dec. 14.?Declaring
that \yorld conditions of "chaos, dis
agreement and troulble" made con
tinuation of naval and aircraft
building by the United States Im
perative Secretary Daniels before
the house naval equal to other in
the world and asserted that "the
Unitect States must protect what it
has."
"No one knows the future rela-j
tions of the nations of the world," j
said Mr. Daniels.
"It would be a blunder almost
equal to a crime for the United
States to enter into a alliance with
any two or three nations, either to
suspend or curtail naval building or!
for any other purpose. It would cer
tainly make for suspicion among
the other nations of the world. I
profoundly believe that the United
States cannot afford to take a five
year 'naval holiday' as it has been
rumored: England and Japan will
suggest ot this country. I wish that
we could have a world agreement
that would settle disputes without
recourse to arms but until that
comes and comes surely we ought to
carry out our naval building."
Mr. Daniels auoted a speech of I
Senator aHrding's at Norfolk, Va.,|
recently with regard to American |
naval policy and said that he was in- J
complete agreement on this sub
ject with the President elect. His-!
recommendations for new construc-j
tion were made, Mr. Daniels said,
after a close study of world condi
tions on the part of himself and his
chief technical advisers.
Admiral Coontz, chief of naval
operations, who asked what the re
lative naval strength of 'England,
Japan and the United States would
be if the three countries were to
immediately suspend naval build
ing. He replied that England has
864,600 tons of capital ship dis
placement completer, ine umtea
States 468,000 tons and Japan 326,
000. He was notified that hfe would
jbe expected to appear before the,
committee in executive Session to
morrow to more completely into,
the situation and was told to* bring*
the committee then figures that
would show the relative naval
strength of the principal powers in
1913 on the basis of building now
authorized or under way.
