The fun in the latest farce offering, '.Brown's in Town" which comes to the Montgomery Theatre tonight, begins at the rise of the curtain and continues until the end of the play. The situa- tions aisa are said to be grotesquely funpy,the lines bright and catchy. The story that furnishes the groundwork of the play is single but original. yet despite its simplicity there is not a duh moment in 1t from the opening scene till the final fall of the curtain.

Some years ago Success in Advertis- ing was supposed to follow hiring the highest priced liar you could find, and giving him full swing. Today it takes our best to get people to believe the truth, h,---for instance: The increase of our shipments for January over the same month of last year was Ninety Thousand, One hundred and Ninety Four Dollars (Soo, o,Io4.oo)---so you see we start Nineteen Six at a pace that promises TO INCREASE OUR SALE A MIL
 LION A YEAR.
 We don't believe this has ever been equalled by any house in the south, nor anywhere, in fact, by shoe house with only sixteen salesnen.
 In seeking some causes that have made possible this rather unique contri- button to the industrial record of the year, we would say
 The great prosperity of our section. Folks have found it economy to buy only good shoes, and, speaking gener- ally, people have come to know that in a RED SEAL LINE there are no others.
 In July last we had faith in the sure ty of higher level of values, and loaded our factories with leather.
 We divided the result of this fore sight liberally with our customers, keep ing our Shoes at selling prices.
 We own today in our Warehouse at Atlanta the largest ready-to-ship stock of shoes in the south.
 During February we will sell them at from 5 to F cents pair below what will be the ruling pricesfor next season. Forehanded merchants will make money by remembering this.

ternoon for New Orleans to pre-
sent couple of cases to the Su-

Sheriff, involving certain commits
sion on fines imposed by the Dis
trict Judge in criminal cases
brought before the district court
for trial. The Sheriff admits his
refusal to pay to the District At
torney these commissions, basing
his action upon an opinion rem
dered by the Attorney General,
Walter Guion.
The Attorney General, some
months ago, announced the opin-
ion that the district attorneys of
the state were collecting certain
commissions that they were not
legally entitled to, thereby affect
ing the public school treasury of
every parish. The school interest
was prompt to take advantage of
this opinion and at an early date
instituted proceedings to test the
question. 1t was decided to make
the test in the district court of
Iberia and accordingly the case
was filed aud tried here, resulting
in a decision in favor of the Dis
trict Attorney. The case has been
taken on appeal to the Supreme
court. Tie result will be watched
for with interest throughout the
state.

PreSentment Of Grand Jury.
JUNE TERM.

Abbeville, S. c., June 4th, 1905.
To his Honor, G.. G. Dantzler, Pre-
siding Judge June term Court:
The Grand Jury beg to make the fol-
lowing presentment:
We have examined according to the
usual custom all bills presented to US
and returned them to Court. At the
February term of Court we prayed his
Honor Judge Prince TO authorize US to
employ an expert Accountant to exam
inc the several County officers books,
which we had been informed had been
done in Chester, and for some good rea-
son unknown to us our request was not
granted. We again ask his Honor If
it be possible to grant our request, still
believing it duty we owe the officers
as we'll as to the taxpayers of Able.
Vile county.
Owing to limited time we have ex;
amined none of the buildings belong
ing to the County, but hope to make a
full report in October.
Respectfully submitted,

Hon. i. III. McCalla.

His many friends will regret to learn that
the sight of Hon. I. II. NcCalla Is not improv-
ing. Several months ago he suffered from an
aiiment of the eyes which very much I'M
paired his vision, but friends hoped for an i'm
provement. The improvement. II any, has
been but slight. Mr.. McCalla is descendant
OF an old family in this county. His father
was q jealous Con federate, and gave literally
of his fortune 10 the Southern cause. Among
other generous deeds, he furnished the uni
forms for q company of volunteers from
Lowndesville. Mr.. McCalla has always been
active in whatever interested the people OF
his county, and, like his father, has been al
ways ready TO give his time and his money to
q good cause.
AS business man, and farmer, we know OF
none who has been more successful. Starting
out In outh with limited means, be is today
one OF the richest men in all this section OF
the country. We know of no one who has
made as much money at farming.
We always regard successful men very
much as the hero of story, and we always
regret that any accident or misfortune should
come to them. Mr.. McCalla's energy. good
Judgment, and success furnish an object les
son.

Autos.

Abbeville has Two autom mobiles OF distinctly
different types. One is owned by the town
council, and one IL owned by that prosperous
con tractor Mr. Frederic Minsball. The
machines of which we speak run for entirely
different purposes and at different rates OF
speed.
MIR. Minshall's machine carries passengers
with the speed OF the wind, and II you don't
run 10 the window as soon as you hear the
sound of something like mashed horn, the
flying wheels will be out OF sight, with moth.
ing behind except tracks on the ground and
flying dust In the air.
Not so with the auto belonging to the town
council. It's movements are more deliberate.
The sound of the running machine always
comes first, the machine arrives later. After
we hear 1t, We have plenty Of time 10 finish
letter and then 20 to the window to see 1t
come by with tons and tons ofchert to make
clean and smooth rough and muddy places
In our streets. Its benefits are lasting, and
It's good works are for all OF US. AS .
racing machine, we wouldn't bet on It, but
when good machines are on the track for USE
full purposes, We back our judgment by what
we say, and not by the money which we put
up.

or who would make II less effective.
We b w. no quarrel with any man for ms
opinion. Every man Is entitled 10 his opin-
ion on the dispensary or any other subject,
but no presumptious newspaper has the right
to make charges wholesale where he lacks
the courageto say to whom he refers.
The Press and Banner while wishing the
committee the fullest and the most conf
plete success In discovering whatever Is wrong
at dispensary headquarters, does not approve
OF some OF the acts OF The committee.
The committee has at times been too In
slstent In pressing witnesses where the IN
formation sought was little more than hear
say rumor, but the Press and Banner realizes
the difficulty OF their task, and 30 lopg as
they are bringing up something when they
dive, as they have done recently they should
continue 10 dive. From the beginning OF the
Investigation this paper has taken the posi-
tlon that the guilty should be sought out aud
made to suffer, and this position Is still
maintained.

We want the law 80 am mended that the liquor
directors may receive a salary of slO,OOO-
not S4OO If the law prescribed their duties and
fixed q proper punishment for dishonest deal
ing there would In all probability be no more
room for scandal In the dispensary than
there Is in The governors office or In the
treasurer's office. II you recollect, there was
a time long ago when the Governor OF the
State issued so many pardons that the penal
institution was depopulated. II the Govern.
or today was corrupt he could possibly make
as much money In the granting OF pardons
as has been in the graft in the dlspensary.
This newspaper believes that every county
should regulate Its own whIskey business,
under the law as 1t stands. We think the
State OF South Carolina is greater than any
city or all OF the clLes combined. We think
the cities should be made TO conform TO the
laws of the Stale. Ifany city does not want
LIQUOR, then let 1t vote 1t out. But make the
cities obey the law. 1t Ia little less than an
Insult to the intelligence of the people to say
that the dispensary does not suit this or that
city, and for that alleged reason, an excep-
tion should be made. Let the county news.
papers and especially the Lantern, sweep be-
fore their own doors before assuming to have
purer morals or better principles than their
neighbors who are attending TO their own
business. Let Us see something Of their per-
sonal superiority and let US hear less OF any
envious spirit that would assall character
or motives of others.

It's place as nice house as you would wish to

ly than words could do, OF the energy, the
ambition and the successful farmer who lives
in 1t. What Mr.. Dawson has done, others
may do. And If others may be as prosperous
as he is. the country would make pleasing

value OF both our lands and our citizenship.
