Our SuppIement.

The readers of the Press and Banner Will
appreciate the fact that we do not print our
supplement.
This fact accounts for the Inconsistency be.
tween It and the paper itself in discussing
the dispensary.
or course the printers OF such supplements
in fairness, have no right to inject their own
peculiar views into these publications; and
1t seems to US that they take advantage OF the
situation to exploit their own liquor senti-
merts.
The situation Is this: In South Carolina
there are two publishers of patent sheets.
Our neighbor the Medium, patronizes one OF
them, which fact precludes US from getting
sheets there. The Orangeburg firm, OF whom
we buy, is the remaining concern of the kind
Because we desire to give our subscribers as
good a paper as we can, we buy the extra
sheets.
These facts enable the Orangeburg concern
TO take advantage of the Press and Banner by
inserting their own views, which they know
are contrary to the prejudices or convictions
OF this newspaper.
It will be noticed that over one.half Of the
supplement is filled with matter about an old
q
occupy SO much space, and to magnify an
insignificant matter into such proportions
shows lack OF good Judgment as 10 Inc
makeup OF newspaper, while the animus
injected into the heads is an outrage on Gus
toners who like fair play.
We do not expect TO make many more ex-
plantations or apologies for our supp ements.
II we cannot have our wishes respected to-
some extent we will cease to buy the supple
ments which give otfense to lhe best and
most conservative of our subscribers. The
imposition has been practiced until We are
tired.
People who want liquor and who may want
bar rooms may like these sheets, but that
class OF people are not numerous in Abbeville
and II they were ten TO ore, we would not
publish liquor newspaper

New Bicycle Ordinance.

It occurs to the Press and Banner that the
City Council Is IL little hard on bicycle riders.
1t is all right to require light" and bells II
they ride on the side walks, but if they go In
the streets it seems to us that they do SO at
their own risk The bells and lights are all
right so long as they ride on side walks, and
bells should be rung when approaching
pedestrians, or overtaking them. The neces-
sity for ringing bell at crossings when IN
the street does not appear. Except on the
square 1t seems TO US that bicycles might go
on side walks in little places like ours.

All About an Old Trunk.

The newspapers have given much space
lately as prosecutors in the matter of an old
trunk and q few other items.
A small thing was never more magnifed.
The fact that the Government is able and
willing to prosecute evil doers, and to turn
them out OF Office, will likely satisfy the rea-
sonable portion Of the public.
Even If half the dispensary had been stolen
that proves nothing as to the working Of the
dispensary, except that the wrong men had
been put in charge.
The law Is all right. If mistake was made
in appointing the first set OF officers or agents,
let them be removed and better men put In
their places.
No amount OF persecution Of individuals
can made the law odious.

ERSKINE COLLEGE.
The Closing OF the Most Prosperous
Year of Its Existence.

The catalogue Of Erskine College for the
current scholastic year has been published:
In ITSELF the catalogue is an Interesting
book and presents in a clear and concise man
ner many Interesting facts in connection with
this oldest of denominational colleges.
From it's historical records we learn that
the institution was founded in 1889. and has
had four Presidents, namely: Rev. +. +.
Pressly, d. D.; Rev. r. e. Grier, d. D.; Kew.
E, l.. Patton. LII. D.. ; Rev. w. M. Grier, ID. u.
A notable circumstance In connection with
this fact is that Rev. h. G. Grier was twice
President-from lS47 TO 1858 and from 1865 to
1S71-and that his son, Rev. w. M. Grier, ID
D.. became President in 1873.
The Griers father and son, have been Presi-
dent IL years OF the Sc years Of the existence
Of the college
The testimonials to their great acceptable
ty to the church exist not only in the long
term OF years which they have served, but In
the reelection Of the one and the declination
OF the Synod to accept the resignation OF the
incumbent after the service OF twenty-five
years.
These facts make the father and son the
most remarkable, or notable men, In South
Carolina.
In The book are pictures Of many handsome
college buildings.
The classes Of the college are made up as
follows:

Cur Forefathers' Books.

In the course cf some remarks at the
London dinner to Poynter, the acad-
emy's president, Conan Doyle said: 1T
is difficult now to realize the avidity
with which our forefathers fell upon a
good solid beck. For them there were
no book stalls crammed with cheap lit
erature, no little pirating magazines,
containing the looted spells Of dozen
goodly books. Consequently they had
time to absorb 4 book, SO that it be-
came part of their mind and soul. We
could not put back the clock and make
books raTer. We would not if we could.
But it would not be bad thing now
and again if we went into retreat for
a month CT a year and swore off all
ephemeral literature and turned back to
the classics of our language. -

DeWitt's Collie & Cholera Curc
Pleasant, quick results, safe TO use.

A seeming anomaly is found in the
fact that in the United States s"tin
plate' is the favorite roofing, the use
of sheet zinc for roofing being al
most unknown; and yet in England
and in all parts of Europe zinc is
now the most favored material. A
roof of good tin, property laid and
painted thoroughly at least once in
every three years, will last from
twenty to thirty years; the life of a
slate roof may be from thirty to fifty
years, while the life of zinc roof
may be estimated from the fact that
the first zinc roof ever put in 1911,
exists to day in good condition.

it can be shown by little calcula-

[ have a friend who is connected
with one of the largest shoe stores of
the city. A day or two ago he was
called to attend to the wants of GUS
toner, and his first question brought
out the fact that the man wanted a
pair of shoes. OF course my friend
next inquired the size, and thereby
hangs the tale. The customer looked
dumfounded for minute, but he was
not to be faxed by such a simple ques-
ton, and finally he blurted out:
"Wa'al, | don't know egzactly, but
/ wear fifteen and half collar"
He did his best, but my friend was
not sufficiently posted in the relative
proportions of ones neck and so had
to make guess at the size required,
and try different pairs until he had
found the proper fit.
