The Good Old Chronicle.

All Of a sudden and without previous init
nation OF impending danger, the news came
last week that the office of the good old An.
gusta Chronicle had been destroyed by fire.
aud every body was sorry. But, later on
when they realized that IL was not the Chron.
lcie, but the Office, that was destroy ed, they
were not 30 sorry. Our earliest recollection
OF newspapers ia OF the Erskine Miscellany,
the AbbevlIle Banner and the Augusta. .Chron.
icle. When this editor was little boy serv.
Ing bis apprenticeship at Due West, Pink
Stsrnes, another apprentice. would act out in
the yard on 'ummer evenings and read ser
mons aloud from the Chronicle to reprobates
or good little boys, as the case might be.
The publication of sermons by the Chroni-
Gle In the early ffties so impressed one ap-
prentice In the Erskine Miscellany office that,
10 after years when he became the owner OF a
little paper. he, too published sermons, as our
readers know. 1.-THE publication OF sermons
Is a good thing, the Influence Of The Chroni-
Gle WAS good. If, however, such publications
are evil, then the Augusta Chronicle will
have a long itemIzed bill OF Indictment
charged against 1t at the final accounting.
Every body bereabout holds the Chronicle
IN good esteem, and all are glad that the
presses and type we're Insured. The Chroni.
Gle itself is indestructible.

Fine Court House,

Let the people not give up hope that Abbe-
vile may have st least decent Court house.
One Of the counties Is building 100000
Court house. AbbevilIe is as good, as proud,
and as able to have a good Court house as
anybody-and Abbeville ought to have 1t.
Every man in the county would tetl proud
er OF Abbeville county, if we had fine
Court house, and 1t Is with great pleasure
that we hear that members Of the building
committee from outside the city are anxious
for good Court house. We ought to build
for fifty years when this city will have pop
ulaton OF fifty thousand.
With fine churches. fine school houses, a
lne court house, fine town hall, what Ia to
keep us down: II we build fine court house
and fine city hall, we will get 1t paid for in
five or six years, and then we can enjoy our
public buildings for the 9th r forty-four or
forty-dve years with no cares 10 worry or vex
us.
Let The gentlemen OF the committees not
forget that they are building their own mon
uments, each one OF whom deserves q good
one-ii he will build 1t. The people are
ready to pay the expense. There you are.

IT?
But in case the new Court house should be
built by taxation, that plan would be dead
easy. Poor folks would have little or no
taxes to pay. And then rich folk could dodge.
Honestly. kind reader, with all these facts
laid bare, do you know of any reason why
Abbeville should not have a 100000 Court
house? We know of none, unless come mar
row-minded, ignorant voter should come
along, and threaten 10 iptimidate somebody
by placing his vote in the box against the
vote OF a Thousand more patriotic and better
Informed citizen than himself.
II poor, shabby Court house is wanted,
the old barn will ansW er the purpose, and we
need not tear 1t down. Acting on the sugges-
tlon to make a new Court house out of the
old Court house, country editors can get q
new suit Of clothes by taking their old suits
TO second tailor.

Solid Chunks Of Solid Sense.

The Athens Banner is never dull. Some.
times 1t IL sensible TO the fullest measure
Last week that paper had sensible piece on
"simpler funerals" From that piece we inf fe,
that the people OF Athens are about to move
forward and adopt more merciful method OF
conducting funerals.
While the out-of-date plan OF uttsring from
the pulpit things about the dead which no.
body belie' ed, 1t is presumed, that this course
was not especially disagreeable To the dead.
Proper consideration for the feelings of the
kindred. and just regard for truth, would
suggest that the burial OF the dead be accom-
panied by suitable remarks to the living.
Most of the churches have set forms Ter fu.
neral services, and this is best. When such
performances were common In
Abbeville, some editors felt an I'M terest in
noting the things which they should not say
In their notice OF the deceased.

New Court Houses.

As far as We are informed nobody knows
how many court houses Abbeville has had
within the last one hundred years. In The
last fifty or sixty years We have bad at leas
two court bouses and one old tobacco barr
with plank shutters.
In the past, whenever We needed new
court house we have torn down the old one
and built ew one partly with the rubbish
together with some new patches here and
there. And we believe II is now proposed to
use the rubbish that can be taken out OF the
tobacco barn to make an elegant new court
house, without plank shutters.
We asked Mr.. johnson II he couldn't make
cement blocks for the outside part OF the
walls. BE said that cement blocks in another
town had not stood the fire test There may
be something in this. Stone will not stand
the fire test.
But unless ills meant to tear down the pro.
posed new court house at some future time TO
build still another new one out of the old
rubbish, We would prefer 10 see the whole
thing 60 up in smoke the next time fire
should come along. The better idea Is to
build 1t 80 far from other buildings that the
danger OF fire would be reduced 10 a mini
mum. In case. however, 1t must burn, let the
hair 60 with the hide.

Time for Advice.

This Is about the right time Of the year 70,
editors 10 begin to advise farmers about theil
cotton drops. And then It is about time fol
editors to publish foolish statements about
the reduction OF cotton acreage.
or course the Press and Banner knows moth.
Ing at all about the business OF farming, but
for all that, we claim 10 know az much as any
other newspaper.
We reason this way: When farmers say
they have reduced their acreage and when We
have notice that a farmer has DISCHARGED his
negroes and knock ed bis mules in the head,
we believe that he has reduced the acreage on
his own farm. But when the discharged
hands 60 to another farm We are inclined TO
think that they may. with the aid OF new
mule, make as much on the farm TO which
they have gone as they made last year on the
farm which they left.
From these statements you may make your
your Inference ss TO whether We believe one
word about the the general reduction OF the
acreage. A sensible farmer in the cotton belt
will make the biggest crop possible.

New Houses.

court bad been held was torn down.
new court was built partly OF the rub.
bish.
In 1872 the tobacco barb was bullt OF second
hand rubbish, taken from the burnt ruins OF
the preceding court house.
In 1907 1t Is proposed to use the we'll worn
rubbish now In the tobacco barn 10 build a
court house for Abbeville county. :.
We are not informed as to what will become
Of the plank shutters.
The funny thing about the history OF the
plank shutters is. that some cf the officers
have opened and closed thu So shutters every
day for thirty five years.

barometer was sufficiently low in
Montana and high over the South At

winds and one of the severest hot

On the contrary, the maps during

tire summer, show condition of un-
usual atmospheric activity. Well-de-

effectually preventing single wide

Sun-bonnet5 are always quaint and
picturesque in effect and just now
are being greatly worn for golf, for
gardening and for every outdoor oc-
cupation. Indeed women of all ages,
from the little tots to their grand
mothers, are guarding their complex
ions a bit carefully just now and
these attractive and quaint head COW
erings make the best possible aid to
such results. Lawn, batiste, linen,
duck, dotted Swiss muslin and all
similar materials are used. Both
white and colored materials are in
vogue, and some very charming eff
fects are obtained by the use of
Dresden dimities and similar simple
figured stuffs. Two styles are shown
in the illustration, one with and one
without the cape at the back of the
neck. In addition to serving for all
the uses mentioned the bonnets will
be found admirable for motoring,
when they protect the head from
