GAS REVOLT IN PHILADELPHIA
ARMY or FORKMEN TO MARCH
UPON THE CITY HALL.

And Many Mass Meetings 20 he Held TO
Protest 4 Ealnst IS Year Lease OF
City Plant TO L. G, !. Co., With PrOvlsO
for 81 Gas for 10 Years-BelIs TO Toll.
Phi ApFLPHIA, April 3O.-Scenes unusual
for quiet Philadelphia promise 10 surround
the attempt Of the city organization to lease
the gas works to the United Gas Improve
ment Company for seventy-hve years Tor
s25,OOO,OOO. The offer contains a proviso
binding the city to dollar gas for twenty
years.
The ordinance was put on the first read
ing calendar in one days time, and It Is
planned to jam II through Councils at a
special session. Opposition has sprung up
on all sides, and a number Of business men
OF the stamp Of John H. Converse OF the
Baldwin Locomotive Works have called a
big mass meeting for Wednesday night.
Mass meetings are also 10 be held in the
wards.
In addition a monster demonstration
of workingmen is planned. Already fifty
prominent manufacturers have signified
their intention Of closing down their places
OF business Thursday afternoon 80 that
their employees may march upon City
Hall
The factory hands will meet at a given
point and silently move upon City Hall.
There is talk Of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works also shutting down and should this
prove practical the ranks Of the marchers
will be appreciably swelled.
Factory whistles are to be footed and
church bells tolled all over the city while
Councils are meeting. Tar, feathers. eggs
and hemp rope are suggested as appro-
/ priate emblems for the marchers by some
! Of the more enthusiastic.
Mayor Weaver, who started TO take his
/ British relatives around the country in a
| private car, has been summoned home by
/ telegraph and will reach here in the morn
| ing No one knows how the Mayor stands
! Inasmuch as the leaders have enough votes
in Councils to pass any bill over veto
they did not take the Mayor into their
| confidence.
At the last minute the opponents Of the
lease expect to spring an offer i-om a syn
diclte Of bankers vino will make higher
bid than the L. G. /. The L. G. l. lease is
slated for passage, but may possibly be
slightly amended.

Definite Democracy.

The Atlanta News is advocating a "Definite
Democracy" and a return to Jefersonion
principles Is urged by many. AS to the idiot
ic cry for a return to the methods and prac-
tices of Thomas Jefferson nothing need be
said. We cannot move the finger OF time
back ward. We cannot run the hands of the
clock back to former days. 1t Is needless to
urge that the former days were better than
these. The world moves and we move with
It,. In science, politics, religion and good gov
eminent we have made wonderful progress
in a hundred years, and We are not going
back ward along any OF the lines.
1.-THE Democratic party, or the people OF the
South, would join the the offices Of the Unit
ed States they must, so to speak, trim Off the
dead wood, and take on new life and new
ideas. The old, ANTICIPATED, repudiated and
out OF date aims, objects and principles will
never win control Of this country. II we
would gain %ascendency, We must cast aside
the burdens that have brought defeat. We
must rise to something higher and betteI
thar to be scolds and fault-hinders. Blind
opposition TO existing conditions, and foolish
opposition to the best acts Of the opponents
party, Is not to be considered a winning card

At the Top, but Would Go Hix

Greenville Evening Herald. whose excel
lence is acknowledged by all, is seeking
greater achievements in the newspaper bus
mess. The editor ''has decided TO get the
ideas OF its readers concerning the further
improvement Of the paper" and offers a
cash bonus for the best suggestions.
The Press and Ban ner sees very little room
for improvement in the editorial conduct OF
the Evening Herald. The mechanical make
up OF the paper Is susceptible Of but one Inn
proyement. 1fsmalIer body type, set solid.
was used, the whole outfit would be ideal.
1t is hard to print a good paper on loaded
long primer. Set the paper in smaller type,
and II need be, use plates to fill out the spare
space. The cost Of plates need be but little.
If you buy farm notes, or other miscellaneous
matter. After using them, lay them aside
for three months and uee them again. They
can be used In this way for an indefinite
number OF times, or If you don't like this
plan, reduce the size of your sheet after In.
stalling the smaller type.
The society Editor Is Miss Gertrude Hoyt,
and the style OF her work is excellent. She
Is an acquisition to the paper.

The Farmers Bank.

This Institution ommeuc business In
March 1890. Originally projected as an ad-
junct to The Farmers Alliance, It was found a
larger field Of usefulness, and for fifteen years
it has been an important factor In the busl'
ness and commercial affairs OF AbbeVille
County.
IL was at first intended to extend assistance
to the farmers particularly and especially,
but for years II has been able and willing 10
accom- modate all classes of our people.
In June 1904 its honored and distinguished
President MIR. VIM. r.. Parker, from pro-
tracted illness and the infrmities Of age Oh
fered his resignition. He was one OF Inc
Organizers OF the Bank and was its only
President, conducting Its affairs with skill
and conse rvaLion..
It was with much regret to the directors
and stockholders that his resignation was
accepted, and the pleasant relations which
had SO long continued were severed.
At the Annual meeting In January lltn
1906, the following directors were elected;
G. A. Visanska, P. B. Speed, r. M. Haddon,
J. r. Blake, John A. Harris. +. E. Harrison
Lewis w. Parker, W.. P. Greene and A. K.
Watson. ."'.'
The following officers we're then elected by
the directors F. E. Harrison, President;
p. B. Speed. Vice President; Julius ID. Du-
Pre-, Cashier; ]. Z. Thomson, Assistant
Cashier. ....
The new President, DR.. F. E. Harrison, Is
too we'll known 10 our people TO neei any
Introduction to our people. They know that
his excellent business qualifications and his
good judgment in financial matters nave
brought to him a success which, we believe,
has not heen surpassed by any one In the
city. His phenomenal success In bis W
affairs Is the best guarantee that the Interests
of the bank will grow aud prosper In his
hands. Assisted by such able and competent
officers as now contro, the farmers Bank
there can be but one result.

EXCITING OCCURRENCES.
Recent Fires in the City Of Abbevil

GhSSsAAs
Some " months ago, the alarm OF fire was
given in the night time. voices cried fire, and
the fire bell sent a thrill through every heart.
the fire compaDy responded with their usual
prom ptness, and soon the clang Of the horn
reel bell was heard on the streets. The horn
reel stopped In front OF Miller's Hotel, and
with hand on the water plug, waited TO be in.
The fire bad been discovered In George
Scott 8 bed blanket, which he bad wrapped
about. himself as he lay down TO pleasant
dreams. When the fire reached bis heel, he
was suddenly awakened, when be threw his
Quilt Into the street. This started the cry OF
fire. The old negro to'd the fire company
hat be didn't care for the quilt as he had his
money In bis pocket
Not long after this fire. the fire bell startled
the town about eleven O'Clock In the morn
ing. The fire company turned out In force,
and the square was full Of excited people. A
towel in DR.. Killingsworth's office had gotten
on fire.
warmed a brick and put II In the bed 10 keep
their ieet warm. After they had slept sweet
ly for q time, dreaming Of angels and other
nice thirgs unknown 10 US, they discovered
hat their bed was on fire. The brick bad
burned It's way through feathers and mat
affair. They didu't call the fire company,
nor did they allow anyone TO enter their
room until after the fire bad been gotten un-
der control. TIL household was alarmed at
the connection In the ROOM, but no doors
were opened, and no admittance was allowed
until alter things were In order for the recep-
ton of company.
Yesterday afternoon the fire bell rupg.
The fire company turned out. The blaze was
at senator Blake's home. AS soon as the SCOT
was burned out the blaze per ished for the
want OF consumaole matter.

1.-THE Southern Home"

Mr.. s.. Archibald Linley, associate editor
and advertise ng manager Of 'the Southern
Home" q monthly publication coming from
Columbia, was in our city two weeks ago
n we had the pleasure OF meeting him.
He ia 8 yonng man Of about twenty years,
and seems well qualified for his business.
Being Of the same age that this editor was
when he went into the printing business, we
felt drawn 10 him and the fact had the effect
of causing us TO review our own past life. II
Mr.. Linley's experience for the next forty
five years is anything like ours has been, be
has q vast amount OF work before him. He
has entered a much larger field Of labor than
we did. HIS paper is paper for all the peo-
pie while ours has been chiefly FOR the people
OF AbbeVille County. We were glad to learn
that Mr.. Linley met with good success In
Abbeville. Abbeville people are ready to
recognize merit In as good a paper as that
whic b Nj. Linley publishes. and represents.

Small POx.

Several new cases Of small pox have de.
veloped among our people during the last
week. The town now has about as many
cases of this disease as we have Of colds. And
one disease seems to be dreaded about as
much as the other.
A great number Of persons refuse or neglect
to be vaccinated, and recently there has been
created something OF q sentiment against
allowing persons having the disease the free.
dom OF the streets.
While we know that well-meaning persons
in every community favor q~uarantintpg
small pox cases, yet we thing that, II reason
able persons would reflect a moment that
they would not be infavor OF infllcting srch a
hardship on any one. II persons refuse TO be
vaccinated they do so at their own risk, and
nobody hould be locked In doors because OF
the fooltardy act Of those who refuse to make
themselves immune.
The most intelligent and the most scientific
laymen run counter to the opinion of the
physicians, they have no right to expect
small pox patients to be kept out Of their
presence.
We do not force men to protect themselves
against pneumonia. We allow men TO vio-
late the rules o health In keeping q pig pen
under their nose. We even allow the own
ers Of pig pens to jeopordise the health and
life Of their %neighbors In order that a hog may
live to fill the air with typhoid germs.
Then why should we pen up a citizen TO
keep him away from a man who goes hun
ing small pox2
We believe in the largest liberty when that
liberty does not endanger others, or does not
infringe upon the rights OF others. A man
with small pox cannot give 1t TO a man who
has been vaccinated; and it Is fair 10 assume
that a man In this day and time who neglect
to be v%accinated doesn't care If he does have
1t. And we think every man In town has a
right to have the disease-if he wants 1t. He
can make himself immune, II he so desires.
We are not in favor of compulsory VAGINA
tion any more than we are in favor Of con-
filming q case of smalr ox. We hope. there.
fore, that the town authorities will respect
the wishes of the mar who is opposed to
being vaccinated, and We hope that no man
may be deprived of his liberty for no better
reason than his having q case OF small pox.
Isn't 1t an outrage to imprison one man
because another refuses to be vaccinated?
The origin Of quarantine was in the days
before vaccination was proven TO be a pro-
lection.
The strange thing to US Is, that there should
be a sentiment favoring the Imprisonment
OF a small pox patient, while the owner of a
hog pen is allowed to 60 at large.

Judge Swayne Impeached.

Judge Swayne OF Florida has been impeach.
ed, the charge against him being that be
charged up $40 for expenses.
II only those without sin, will vote against
Judge Swayne, he will be acquitted. Let the
Congressman say If they have not ridden on
free passes and afterwards collected the al
lowances for mileage. One man in Congress,
we believe, made the charge that Judge
Swayne had no friends In Florida. This in
formation, we presume, was given TO show
that no danger was incurred By voting
against the accused.

Immigration.

We see it stated that Mr.. Watson, immigra-
ton agent has broughtto this State about two
hundred immigrants. They are OF the best
kind. To born and bring up a boy to mans
estate cost anywhere from Sl.00 to $1,000. AT
this rate MI. Watson's immigrants are worth
to the State from $4,000 to 100000. lit costs
a hundred dollars TO raise a mule, we count
the mule as worth that much to the State.
Fit costs 81. 500 to bring a child to manhood's
estate, the same rule of valuation should pre-
vail.
If Mr.. Watson would hire a slip and take 1t
to Ireland, Scotland, or elsewhere, and offer
freelpassage he could load the ship, and enrich
the State.
