M?RCE INFLUENCE.
The latest business enterprise t(
be attracted by the many advantages
of Abbeville is a steam bakery. Mr
H. L. Moore, proprietor of the "Best
yette" Bakery of Winder, Ga., was
here yesterday and announced thai
he expects to begin moving his equip
ment at once, and that he expects tc
t" " . be ready to begin operations early ir
August. His plant will be located it
the building on Trinity street, for

A bakery is on>i of the things mucl
needed in Abbeville and with a prac
tical man like Mr. Moore, who ha:
successfully concluded such a busi
aess in Winder lor several years, ai
its head it is certain to be a success
All of the equipment will be of th?
latest type, with all modern appli
ances for mixing., moulding and dry
ing.
In a letter to Mr. G. T. Barnes, sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce
who has written several letters urg
ing Mr. Moore to come here, Mr
Moore tells something of the method:
tie uses at nis piant in w maer anc
. which he will no doubt use here. The
, letter is, in part, as follows:
- "The writer told you when in youi
city last Saturday he Would give yoi
the ingredients uued in our bread
They are as follows. United brand
1 - flour, miUed by the Consolidated
Flour Mills Co., of Hutchinson, Kansas,
milled from Kansas Hard Turkey
% Red Winter Wheat, the most eagerly
bought wheat grown; yeast made by
the Fleischmann Yeast Co., granu

.Merrell-Soule Sales Corporation, the
firm which manufactures the celebrated
v Nohe ?d'ch Mince Meat.
This milk is expensive in that it costs
wholesale 45c per pound. Will add
also that this milk contains only 6,000
bacteria per cubic cm. where ordinary
cow's milk runs into the tens
and hundreds of thousands per cm
% We use this milk entirely for drinki
ing and cooking in our home. Shortening
used in the bread is butter 0]
' a good grade of lard; and pure Bar
ley Malt Extract made by the An
heuser-Busch Sales Corporation ol
St. Louis, Mo.
"You can see the materials we us<
are of the best to be had. Our mixing
is done by electric mixer, moulding
by hand and baking in direct drj
heat. A good many bakeries use som<
steam in their ovens which give:
i them a better looking finished loaf
However, this does not add to th<
quality or nutrition of the bread.
"In cutting the bread use a sharj
knife which has a rather rough edge
aiid cut with sawing motion. Thi:
will assure you of a clean, smooth
slice of bread. '
"You of course understand that th<
fresher toe loaf, the more noticeabli
is the sweet nutty flavor of th<
wheat than if one, two or thre.i day:

"We think that the above - infor
mation will be ample-for any ex
planation you will have to give,
not, let us know and will gladl
furnish you with same."

OIL ON FREE LIST
WITHOUT TIFF
. LONG STAPLE COTTON ALSO
I DUTY FREE, WITH MEMBERS
f OF HOUSE IN DOUBT ABOUT
RATE ON COTTON GOODS?TO
TAKE UP ASPHALT SCHEDULE
>' Washington, July 19.?Oil went on
3 the Fordney tariff free list today by
a House vote of more than 2 to 1.
Long staple cotton, on the free list
I in the ways and means committee
draft, however, was put on the dutia
. ble list at 15 per cent ad valorem
, with members in doubt as to what
t compensatory rates on all cotton
t goods would be considered necessary
. by reason of the imposition of a tax
. on the raw product. There was no
explanation of the committee's action
^ in deciding at the last moment not
to take the ordinary variety of cotton
; such as is raised in the South from
the free list.
I The real flare-up was over the oil
schedules. It broke at the outset of
5 the session after Chairman Fordney
had presented a letter from President
Harding opposing the tax, and suggesting
rather a bargaining provision
to be placed in his hands to
? "guard against the levy of duties
. against us or the imposition by other
nations of export tariffs which are
designed to hinder the facilitation of
I trade."
; About half the Republican membership
of the committee, which imposed
r the tax after the bill had been printed
i and after the duty earlier had been
, rejected joined Republican insurgents
[ and almost a solid minority in throw|
ing out the duty. Representative Gar.
ner, of Texas, ranking Democrat on
the committee stood, however, with
the oit tariff advocates lead by Rep
resentative Chandler, of Oklahoma.
11- ?- -T I
.Long siapie cotton was iranaien-1
ed from the free to the dutiable list I
by a vote of 105 to 74. both parties j
again being split up. The duty only
would apply to cotton of one and
one-eighth inch staple, although several
attempts were made to increase
the length of the staple and thereby
reduce the 'amount of the commodity
coming under the protection. All
were defeated however, but by small
margins. \
Approximately one million bales of
cotton will be affected by the duty
each year, according to statistics offered
in the discussion.
The House tomorrow will take up
the asphalt schedule, the last of the
lve on which separate votes are - in
order. Then will come consideration
of committee amendments, numberf

PUBLIC OPINION
HARDING'S ALLY
PRESIDENT BELIEVES THAT
VOICE OF PEOPLE WILL MAKE
MOVE FOR DISARMAMENT
EASY OF REALIZATION?TIME
FRIENDLY FACTOR.
Washington, July 19.?While the
State Department is advancing its negotiations
for the disarmament conference
as raapidly as it considers
practicable, there is a well defined
feeling here that time and prelimi
nary discussion are working on the
side of the United States in its efforts
to include troublesome diplo
matic proDiems wixnm zae scope 01
the conference.
This belief is particularly manifest
just now with relation to Japan, the
only nation which has not yet accepted
unreservedly the American suggestion
that Far Eastern questions
be considered along with the general
topic of disarmament. Confidence
that such an unreserved acceptance
eventually will come from Tokio has
increased measurably among American
officials since the proposal became
a subject of general discussion
throughout the Japanese Empire.
From the start it had been apparent
that President Harding and hi3
advisers were counting on the aroused
public opinion of the world as
their greatest aid in moving for armament
limitation, and they have
read press reports and the comments
of foreign diplomatists and statesmen
with keen interest to discover
how impelling is the sentiment in favor
of a free and frank exchange of
ideas on all the subjects threatening
international discord. This survey,
so far as officials have been willing
to comment on it, has aroused in
them general satisfaction.
The impression that time is a
friendly factor in all of these considerations,
and that Undue impatience
might lead to a misunderstanding of
the real motives of the United States
m proposing tne comerence, is regarded
as explaining the indisposition
of this government to hasten the
preliminaries. It was indicated today
that nothing definite has been done
towards physical arrangements, nor
even toward the issuance of a formal
invitation, and that it might be some
days before there was another concrete
development.
MISS HILL HURT.
Miss Judith Hill, the pretty young
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. A.
Hill, of Greenville Street, was hurt

into the poles without seeing them
and was knocked to the pavement,
riking the back of her head and being
rendered unconscious for awhile.
She is recovering today, and the physicians
think there is no need to worry
over her condition and that she
will be out in a few days.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Mr. Barnes is not particularly inter-j

plebiscite, and he does not have any
marked preferences as to whether
Poland or Germany gets the territory
in question, but the receipt of
the bulletin only shows the wide currents

CHARLIE MOORE SHOOTS
WALTER RILEY DEAD
..
Charlie Moore shot and killed
Walter Riley yesterday afternoon athis
home near Long Cane A. M. E.
church, six males southeast of Abbeville.
Moore admits firing the shot
that killed R3ey, whom, he testified,
he caught with his wife in a piece of
woods (back of his house. Riley was
about 25 years old and lived on
I Mr. Robert Hagen's place. Moore
lived on Mr. T. P. Thomson's farm.
At the coroner's inquest this- . ' i
morning it was testified (by witnesses
that five shots were heard albout
7 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Examination
of the (body showed only
one wound, the Ibullet entering below
the left shoulder blade and com'ing
out several inches higher up,
near the collar 'bone, in front. The ,
passage of the bullet indicated that
Riley had been shot while in a
stooping or reclining position. Moore
claims that he only fired at first to
scare Riley, as he feared to shoot at
hvm lAsrt-. he hit his wife. However, he
intended to shoot ihim as he ran.
Four other shots were fired (but it is
thought that the first shot is the one
that took effect.
The coroner's verdict was to
the effect that Itfley came to his
deabh as a result of gunshot wounds
inflicted by Charlie Moore. Appli-.
cation has not yet been made for
bail for Moore.
