If the average corn yield in Iowa
is to be forty bushels to the acre and
we know that much of it will go sew
enty and some of it 100 bushels, what
is the matter with the farmer whose
yield falls so far below forty bushels
as to pull down the average?

STILL HOLDS
TO SUICIDE.
Coroner Mix Reports Officially
on C. A. Edwards Death
Many Diseases.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 1S.-Coro-
ner Eli Mix has fled with the state at.
torney Il voluminous report on the
death of Charles a. Edwards. The cor
oner reaffirms his previously expressed
opinion that Edwards committed sui.
eide.
Coroner Mix says that from examina-
ton of the interior of the house, the
width Of the stairway, which is mar
row, and the blood stains also found
%thereupon and considering all the tes-
timony taken at the inquest, together
with the report of the autopsy and Of
the chemical analysis, he is of the opin-
ion that Edwards committed spicide.
He says:
M. Edwards stayed at the Hitler
house that evening and was in the com
pany of Charles a. Hitler. He COM
planned of being very tired and not
feeling at all well and that he had
rheumatic pains in his legs and that
the pain wa very severe and that his
rheumatism made him quite lame: that
he had pain in his chest about the re-
gion of his heart; that he was afraid he
would Sic OF apopleXy; that he was
afraid he had kidney trouble. and that
he feared he might have Bright's dis
ease or diabetes.
'The autCvsy disclosed that there
was Il bullet wound in the left ear;
that the bullet had not entered the
brain: that the skull was not fractur-
ed; that the brain indicated a diseased
condition OF the blood vessels at the
base of the brain: that the heart indi-
Gated one form of disease of the heart;
that the kidneys indicated chronic kid
ney disease; that the bullet wound
could have been self inflicted: that
such Il wound would not bleed very
freely and not necessarily more blood
would flow from such a wound than
the amount of blood found on the
handkerchief, towel, body, stairs and
was quite possible for a person to
walk the distance from the back base
ment stairs to Mr.. Edwards room,
where his body was found"
Coroner Mix also reported the threats
made by A. MaXcy Hitler against Ed
wards and his own sister.
The coroner said that Charles Hitler
thought from his first observance of
Edwards, who at that time was not
dead, that he had had Il stroke of apo
pleXy. Dr.. Metcalf found traces of
blood. but judged the cause of death
vas apopleXy.
Coroner Mix completely exonerates
A. Maxcy Hitler and his brother,
Charles A. Hitler from having any con-
nection with the death of Mr.. Edwards,
the testimony of Mrs. Maxcy Hitler
proving beyond question that her hus-
band was not out of the house on the
night of Edwards death.
AS State Attorney Williams accepts
and fully agrees with the coroner's
finding. it is believed that this most
interesting case is now closed.

Mr.. Henry Taggart.

Mr.. Henry Taggart has just returned
from an extended visit to the north.
He spent some time in New Jersey
and from his reports New Jersey is not
q healthy place for the ordinary
southerner. Things are turned up
side-down, The erstwhile carriage
drivers, plow-hands and colored jacks
of all trades greet their acquaintances
with familiarity that CRATES hard on
the sensitive southern ear. The
"Yanks" can stand it, but the
Southerner cannot.
Mr.. Taggart represents New York
as being warm" city in the literal
as we'll as figurative sense of the word.
Great numbers died of prostration
while he was in the city. On one
night while he was there Mr.. Taggart
found he would suffocate if he re-
mained IN the house and promptly
made for the park after he had retired.
The park was the only place fresh air
was available. He took seat and q
policeman promptly told him 1t was
not permitted to linger there at night
and that he would have to keep walk
ing. He replied to the policeman that
he preferred walking to sizzling In an
oven and continued to walk the rest OF
the night.

To the Democratic Voters OF Abbevflle
County

In view of the several statements
from the various candidates for County
offices, and that the public may know
my position, I beg your consideration
of the following:
When the people of the County in
trusted into my keeping the impor-
tant office of Superintendent of Edu-
cation I found a debt of $14, 10000
hanging over the County School Fund
and bearing interest at per cent.
Realizing that nothing call 80 cripple
and disqualify States and Counties, as
we'll as corporations and individuals,
as burdensome debts with high in
terest, l began to give this my inn
mediate and persistent attention. I
am glad to say have had this debt re-
duced to 100000 at 5 per cent interest
instead of 100000 at per cent.
During my stewardship the school
laws have been strictly enforced, and
the schools have never been in more
prosperous condition. It is needless to
say that the work has had my very
best service.
AS to the future. I would like to. see
our teachers better paid. No County
in the State has a better equipped or
more faithful corps of teachers than
AbbevilIe. The question is how are
we to do this without burdening our
people with heavier taxes. Some dis
tricts in the County have voted spe..
cial school tax and yet the increased
funds fail of the ideal. This is q ques.
ton for all of US to think about.
AS to the length of school terms,
Abbeville County is second only to
Georgetown Abbeville, Sumter and
Charleston having an average OF 3
months session and Georgetown 9 IL
months.
In the average session for white and
colored schools, Abbeville stands third.
I would like to see high schools
established in each district, but In the
sparsely populated districts it is next
to impossible, for the very good rea.
son that there is insufficient funds to
run the common schools 8 months.
Many of our schools in the best popu-
lated districts are doing high school
work, these schools are under the
management of efficient teachers and
are giving excellent service.
There are one hundred and fifty
schools in the County and granting
that it were possible to visit two schools
per day, and it is doubtful If this
could be done, it would require four
months to make the rounds of the
schools.
have never failed to respond to q
call to visit the schools when 1t has
been necessary, and am glad to say
that the trustees generally, are men
who have taken a lively interest in
the schools and done all in their power
to better the conditions Of their re-
spective schools. In respect to the
efficiency of trustees, Abbeville stands
at the top of the list and always has
stood there.
In considering the candidacy Of the
several other estimsble gentlemen
who are out for the Office of Superin-
tendent of Education, would beg
that you do not forget the present In
cumbent.
Yours very truly,
F. G. DUPRE

Greenwood Prices.

Mr.. J. w. Rykard, close and intel.
ligent buyer needed, some things last
week and as Greenwood is 30 much
nearer his home than Abbeville be
thought he would buy his "produee'
there, but when he began pricing
things he found that Greenwood was
10 per cent higher than Abbeville..
In view of Greenwood's boast of its
unequaled mart this is something of
sumner. :.
The joke is, Mr.. Rykard actually
seemed little surprised.
Of course Abbeville is cheaper than
Greenwood. Always has been and
always will be.
In fact, Abbeville is the best mart ir
upper South Carolina.
