Sprung q Sensation.

It seems that Mr.. r. R. Tolbert has made an
effort 10 secure appointment as postmaster at
Abbeville. He and John g. Capers SO far
succeeded as 20 get the appointment, or the
promise OF the President to appoint him.
When the fact became known Representa-
tive Aiken and Senator Latimer went to
see the President when the matter was held
mp. The incident Is no doubt closed as far as
Mr.. Tolbert is concerned.
1t seems that alleged opposition TO Mr..
Link was based upon the assertion that he
conducted q real estate business. Whether
this opposition had substantial foundation
can only be determined by ascertainment Of
facts. ;
Mr.. Tolbert wanted the Office. Mr.. Capers
owed Mr.. Aiken q grudge. These two facts
made up the case.
A more acceptable postmaster than Mr..
Link would be hard to hnd.
We believe the President. out OF SENATOR
al courtesy" always allows the Congressman
TO name the postmaster in his W city.
This would preclude the possibility Of Capers
or anybody else ousting MIR. Link or putting
Aiken.

berewarded with Federal Office. Appeals tc

ism. ..
Irrespective Of all charges or Of all virtues
II may be said hat the people OF Abbeville
desire the retention Of Mr.. Link in the post
Office. With equal certainty 1t may be said
that they do not want Mr.. Tolbert as q post
master.

Death Of Mr. McFall.

Walter T. McFall, lessee Of the Eureka
Hotel, died at 1915 Sunday night, February
25. 1906, aged SO years. Mr.. McFall was sirick'
en- with double pneumonia on Friday
the cpd came 30 suddenly that few OF oni
citizens knew OF his illness. At the untou
meeting Sunday night prayers were said fol
him whose life hung IN the balance, but the
congregation knew not for whom the petition
was offered. Our people we're shocked on
Monday morning when they heard OF the sad
affection that ha d befallen TO their neighbor
log family.
A great number OF our people called at the
hotel to pay their respects, and every atten'
tion possible was given.
Loving and tender hearts expressed sym
pathy and sorrow, while the floral tributes
were In great profusion.
Flowers are always welcome, whether In
10y or in sorrow. and their perfume bears
sweet increase up to heaven. Our Saviour
the lily Of the valley.
But laying aside sentiment and personal
feeling, the story Of Mr.. McFall's career as a
husband and father IL TO be admired. Eleven
years ago he married Miss Chris Hughes,
daughter OF Mr.. Cicero Hughes. To them
were born foul children. And the mother and
father In all these years lived as lovers. His
devotion to h.s wife and children was beauti-
full and lovely indeed. No man was ever
more affectionate or exercised q graat con
troll OF little chilnren. A sadder death or q
more deep affection could not come to any
one. The young and happy wife and their
ttstIo ,httdron nova All ffarad q m frranQYQh1o
loss.
As a business man Mr.. McFall succeeded
expectation In the management Of the..Eureka
hotel. BY his executive ability he organized
bis forces so as to bring the best results. Be.
cause OF his gentle and genisl:nature he Won
friends ofall who knew him. His command
OF b help made the hotel an ideal place in
which the traveller might find refreahment
and more:than homelike comfort. His house
was held in such high esteem that the travel.
ing public will join In sincere regret at Mr..
McFalrs death.
On,Monday q great company OF our people
followed the remains from the hotel to the
Southern train. Quite q number OF friends
accompanied the remains to Anderson, where
the funeral services were conducted In the
Baptist church Tuesday afternoon.
In leasing the Hotel last December he re-
ouested that his wife's name with his own
might be inserted in the paper so that she
might continue to conduct the hotel In case
OF his death, and 1t Is understood that she
will still keep the hotel.
AS a rule, We think II a great mistake for a
man to insure his life, but In Mr.. McFsll's
case life insurance Is q blessing to those
whom he left behind.

washington, f6O. ~.
R. R. Tolbert, commonly known as "Red"
will not be po-tmaster at Abbeville. The
president seemed somewhat surprised when
today Senator LAtimer and Representative
such an appointment had been contemplal-
ed and he forthwith ordered the appoint
ment withdrawn
"What! Is he the Tolbert who came up
here o year or go ago with q long pistol and
wanted to XIII my friend Leupp?"
The president made this exclamation or
one similar to u before any reference " 8
member the little circumstance even better
than Mr.. leupp himself did. MIR. Leupp Is
now commissioner OF Indian affairs. He
wa q newspaper man and be wrote Tolbert's
story for hin, which was published In the
New York Independent with Tolberts
name signed to II, Some time after that
Tolbert, all by himself and without Mr..
Leupp,s knowledge, had a falling out With
his head that Leupp had in some way been
making fun OF him In newspaper stories
and he came 10 Washington, so the story
goes. equipped With q carefully selected
shooting iron and called 10 pay his respects
Nothing came OF it. however, except o

figured mort consplcuouslg In all the
Phoenix troubles aud In whatever other
race troubles that have occurred In that
section since the war. and the appointment
OF any OF them to q post mastorahip
would b. like shaking a RED flag at a bull.
In the substance this Is what Messrs. Lati.

reminded him that President Mckinley

The Supreme Court HOnors The Cir
SO cult Court

Associate Justice Eugene B. Gary, whose
decisions and rulings In the Supreme Court
have always given great satisfaction TO law-
yers and clients in this state, is no less pro.
ficient in che art Of entertaining his friends.
On last Wednesday evening members OF the
Abbeville Bar and q few other invited guests
were present at q dinner which was given In
honor of Judge Geo. E. Prince. who was hold
ing Court last week.
Among others than members Of the Able

At dinner Judge Gary proposed q toast to
Judge Prince "whose career had. been an

Judge Prince is an Abbeville boy. BE was

Advice Free.

81 Farmers are inst now gettlng q lou OF Tree
sdvice as 10 their crops. AS our:readers may
recollect, the Press and Banner has bad cx'
+ perience. Like q good many other innocent
I. farmers, he thought the editor knew the road
! to fortune. And what the editor said was al
right. The only trouble was, the farmer
could not carry out the plans OF the editor
Editor Wilson thought that there was q min,
of money In raising mule colts. He was 80
impressed with this idea that Farmer Wilson
invested In that kind OF live stock. Things
didn't pan ont according TO plans and there
n no way to tell how much he lost in this
venture.
Editor Wilson then suggested TO Farmer
Wilson TO raise sheep and sell wool and
lambs. He paid Major r. A.. Gufhn SIS for
three OF his blooded stock, and paid 81 TO
have them brought home. Amer eating q
barn full of fodder, they were sent 10 Able
Willie next Spring where the whole lot, lamb,
wool and all, were sold to Henry Moore for
1925.
Farmer Wilson then tried goats. He paid
i've dollars for q half blood angora goat. For
all sorts OF every day goats he paid all sorts
OF prices. The family Of goats multiplied.
No such torments had ever been on that place
before, and they were given away.
In the duck raising business this farmers
experience was not very satisfactory. They
grew to beautiful specimens OF their
kind. But they didn't lay many eggs, and
were no, prolific. The main objection to
them was that they would persist in ~roostinR
ON the we'll top, as close to the water bucket
as possible. These ducks didn't linger on the
farm.
MI. Isaac Keller bad some splendid peas OF
the Junk Known variety. To him and others
we paio 1925 for seed. Moses Tate was hired to
SOW them. They came up all right and grew
of nicely. When We thought The vines get
ting ready to cut the leaves fell of. and If we
found q pea on the vines we have forgotten
the fact.
We tried cattle raising, and sold the cattle
for about enough to pay our account at the
oil mill for seed and bulls.
We were successful In growing q large field
OF sorghum. The seed, expressage, cleaning
land and plo~ipg the same cost about S65.
We sold about SS.25 worth. The rest OF II was
q clear loss.
In 1876 we tried an experiment in raising
oats. The seed cost a high price. The plow-
ing wal expensive. 81 q day for each pillow.
The seed and all other expense amounted to
SL.aOO. We were glad to get S70e for the
hole outfit.
One year we tried wheat. We owned a
mill at that time and sowed toll wheat. Be-
cause of detective blowing. bad seasons, or
something else the crop was very poor. No
two stalks we're alike in size or heighth. Be-
ing hin and unpromising We turned stock
on II to gree.
We tried raising rice one year. We didn't
get out as we'll as We did with the sorghum.
An early frost caught the belated crop, and
wegathered none.
We spent about 500 trying to get q setting
of bermuda grass and burr clover. Next year
we sold the farm to Mr. 8. M. Fleming and he
mp the burr clover. But it is fair to
presume that the bermuda grass is still with
Aim.
We mention these facts to prove the great

value Of an editors advice on farming. In
each of the undertakings above referred to
we confidently expected handsome returns,
but they one and all, ended disastrously, and
we had to make good the losses by hard
work in the printing office.
Our vi opinion based on experience is
that an editors opinion about farming Is
worth very little. Having taken a little OF
our own advice to our great loss, we refrain
now from giving a man a. advice, about his own
business.

School Of Vice.

The last Legislature did something toward
establishing a school of vice, otherwise called
a ~'reforInatory." The main thing for the
State to do. is to preserve the purity Of our
youth. When men have once entered upon
a career OF crime, and their crimes have been
exploded In Court and after their con viction
they nave been punished, the hope Of their
restoration TO upright ways Is slim, or OF
doubt.
The better way would be for the State not
to prosecute boys or young men for the first
technical violation ofthe law, or. II tried and
convicted to suspend judgment during future
good behavior.
