extending from there to Barbadoes,
tvhere it connects with the line of
the Western Telegraph Company,

Announcement to this effect was

"One of the conditions of the is

'was that the Western Telegraph
Company should surrender exclu

jREENWOOD WINS LAST
GAME PLAYED IN ANDERSON
I
1 .
\nderson Tribune.
With theMoss of Friday's game by
i score of 4 to 2 to the Greenwood
Smeralds the Electricians have stack
;d their arms, so far as games with
Carolina League teams this, year are
concerned. The season is over and
:he last game has been played, in
which the locals will figure. First
ilace and a precious pennant has
seen taken by them, and unless some
exhibition games are arranged the
lome team will repose on its laurels
jntil next year.
With the line-up shot to pieces by
;he absence of Major and Clyde Her
:on, two of the star infielders and
)therwise considerably changed the
ocals were in little shape to meet
jreenwood, groomed for a fray on
vhich might depend their chances
'or second place in the league. How
;ver the defeat was in no sense a
'iin owotr +Vi a \ricifAr?c Irn/winnor "full
.veil every minute of play that they
Aere in a real ball game.
A light attendance marked yester
day's game. Not over 150 persons
were out and of these about every
body rooted for the popular visitors.
Apparently everyone realizing that
the home team had already won the
coveted rag hoped that Greenwood
might win and so place herself in
line for second place in the final
standing of the league.

OF 3 HOURS MADE BY GERMAN
Berlin, Aug. 26.?A new record
for sustained flight in motorless
airplane was set yesterday by Heer
Hentzon, student flier of the Han
over Technical school, when he re
mained in the air more than 3 hours
The flight was made on the con
eluding day of the gliding competi
tion held in the Rhoen mountains,
near Gersfield. Hjentzen's machine
landed 350 meteors above the start
ing point.
Hentzen is the flier who startled
the world of aviation last Saturday
by remaining in the a'r two hours

WORK ACCOMPLISHED
BY MRS. GIHBONS
Home Demonstration Agent for the
Months of June, July and
August.
Summing up the work done in
June, July and August by your
County Home Demonstration Agent,
we find that she has stressed con
servation of food to a great extent.
Mrs. Gibbons has had 50 calls for
her assistance, and visited 58 farm
women to give them help. Aside from
these emergencies she has rot fail
ed to meet her regular club meetings
in which she has given 63 demon
strations. In this way she has reach-1
ed 845 people in Abbeville County
The Club Market proved success
ful and there is an increased pro
duction in gardening. This market is
held three times a week and has sold
$474.24 wx>rth of country produce
during this time. Fall gardens are
being planted, and creamery route
in the county is profitable for those
having cream for sale
On July 27 to 29 a Short Course
for Home Demonstration Club'mem
bers was held at Due West Woman's
college. The children brought enough
food to last them three days. They
received instruction from specialists
from^ Winthrop College. Religious
services were held each evening, be
ing conducted by the pastois from
Due West. A talk on health was
made by the doctor.
Manv nails have pome to the ncent
to help the home women with their
canning. These calls were answered
by individual visits to the homes of
the women. The drying of vegetables
was also taught. In a remote section
of the county Mrs. Gibbons was ask
ed by a husband to teach his wife
how to can tomatoes. Upon visiting
the home the woman was very ap
preciative and asked Mrs. Gibbons
how much she charged for showing
her how. She was then told that the
Home Demonstration agents salary
came irom a smau tax irom tne peo-1
pie. In this way her assistance could 1
be given to any one desiring it.
Your cooperation will be appre
ciated in advancing the work in Ab
beville County.

HANDS OUT REBUKE
TO WIFE OF MINISTER
I
Judge Says Her Charges of Miscon
duct Not Proved.?Gives Him
A Divorce.
Grand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 26.?
Judge Major L. Dunham of superior
court, today awarded a decree of
absolute divorce to Melvin E. Trot
ter, superintendent of the Grand
Rapids City Rescue Mission and na
tionally known evangelist. He dis
missed the suit for separate main
tenance brought by Mrs. Trotter. He
held ilrs. Trotter's charges that her
husband had been unfaithful and
that he had treated her cruelly had
not been substantiated by evidence.
The court also held thei^ was no
evidence to substantiate the charges
of Mrs. Trotter that her husband
I
was the father of a child born in
4
July 1917 to Miss Florence Moody,
secretary and bookkeeper at the Res
cue Mission, or that he had "con
ducted himself with other women in
| an unbecoming manner."
rne judge in nis opinion, aeciarea
he believed Mrs. Trotter was actuat-.
ed in filing her suit for separate
maintenance by the fact "that she
never has been able to persuade the
defendant to confess that he was the
father of the Moody child." The
court also asserted Mrs. Trotter
charged her husband with acts of al
leged cruelty that "at the time they
were committed, if they were com
mitted, were overlooked by her and
not regarded by her as of any sig
nificance."
The court, in his opinion, holds
Mrs. Trotter herself was guilty of
extreme cruelty by circulating stor
ies to the effect that her husband
jwas the father of the Moody child.
: As permanent alimony Mrs. Trot
!ter gets a home and an adjoining
I house, rentals from which amount
:to $125 a month. She also is given
;the furnishings of the Trotter home
and $5,000 in cash. The Trotter es
tate is valued at $85,000 or more.
