Editors of Half Century Ago.

Editors of Half Century Ago.
Fifty years. That is the lengtn of
time that James Il. Bacon, editor of
the 'Edgefeld Chronicle, has been
welding the pen and forging thund-
er-bolts for the people Of Edgefeld,
and the people have reason to be
proud. of SO gifted writer and so
straight man. It isn't often that
we find man who has stayed in
one place, and in the same occupa-
ton for fifty years. Mr.. Bacon is ono
Of thousand His writings are as
crisp and as original today as they
were years and years ago.
Our good brother Thos. B. Crews
has had a career as long as Mr.. Ba-
con, and Providence has blessed him,
even as it mas blessed Mr.. Bacon,
with sood health and clear mind.
One Of their honored associates, Of
fifty years ago, James A. Hoyt, re-
Gently passed away, leaving an unsul-
lied record in a career of honor and
public service.
In the years that have passed since
Bacon, and Crews, and Hoyt began
careers Of activity and gained for
themselves place in the public eye,
many a good man mas finished his
work and laid down pen and scis-
sors to enter upon that great sleep
which men call death.
There was Pucket and Davis and
Allen ad Selleck and Lee and Kerr
and Farrow and Posey and William
Henry Wilson of Abbeville, all Of
whom have gone to rest.
At Anderson there were Rice and
Humphreys and Todd and others. At
Laurens there was Stokes. At Wal
halla was Robt. A. Thompson, who
survives, enjoying the Indian Sum-
mer Of good life. At Newberry
there was Giles and Richard II. Gren-
eker and Thomas +. Greneker, Thos.
+. Slider and James NJ Crosson. Of
these Richard H. Greneker and James
M. Crosson survive. The Charleston
editors of fifty years ago have all
passed over the river. The recent
passing of Selby leaves no Columbia
editor who was contemporaneous with
Bacon's early career. All the Edge
field editors of fifty years ago have
gone to the spirit land.
And few if any Of these departed
men have place in the memory of
the men of this generation. "a few
Snort years ago and we were not The
busy world then thought as little Of
us as we now think Of generations
yet unborn. In a few years more
these hearts which now palpitate with
the purple stream of life will palpi-
tate no more.'
Here's to the health and happiness
of all the living Of half century
ago. And for the dead, we would
fill memory's cup to the brim.-Ab-
beville Press and Banner.
The foregoing clipping from the
Abbcvillc Press and Banner Of recent
date, and from the pen Of that veter-
an editor, Mr.. Hugh Wilson, is pleas
in"ly reminiscent, yet at the same
time tinged with a degree Of sadness
for those who have gone before.
Among the editors Of the past, Mr..
Wilson mentions Mr.. Richard II.
Greneker as still living. This was a
very natural error, as it is his son,
Mr.. Richard II. Grcncker, bearing
the same initials of his father, who
survives him, and who is now asso-
ciated with this Office. Richard II.
Greneker, ST., than whom no nobler
Christian gentleman ever adorned
the corps editorial or the society in
which he lived and moved, died some
seven years ago.-Ed. Laurensville

Profits Mix With Officers

Montgomery. Ala, Oct. eo.-The
sensation Of the day here was the
tTdx-up between the members of the
w. c. I. T. and the officers at the
Alabama state fair now in progress
The women had booth at the fair
grounds and were distributing Htsra-
ttre and white ribbons to influence
sentiment fin the prohibition cam
paign now going on in this county.
Fair ground policemen resented
their actions and broke up the work
of the women and almost demolish-
ing the both. This angered the wo-
snea1 SO that they rushed the POI
licemen in a storm and for while il
Looked bad for the welfare of Hhe
blueeoats.
Sheriff Hood was repealed to- to re
store order. and he ordered that the
la dies be allowed te continue their
work: and ordered his deputies TO
see that they were not molested any
further Since Birmingham went dry
this city is likely to follow suit, and
Til, action OF the officers has, in a
feeling is very bitter on both sides
large measure, gained recruits for
the prohibitionists and it is expected
the county will go dry by an aver
whelning maj ority.

A
RAINY DAY
fRINGf-fNc BROTHERS GAVE A.
nKAsJNs ENTERTAINMENTS.
STREETS CROWDED ALL DAY HOLDS ELECTION NEXT week
From All Parts of This Section
Show Gave Grand Parade and an
Excellent Performance Wednesday
Afternoon and Night

Yesterday was fntekdsd for show
day but it proved to be-a rainy day.
About eight O'Clock IN sfthei .n1prn-
ing rain began to fan and from then
on until ten at night it continued
in a steady stream upon the heads Of
the people or their umbrellas. The
city was filled with people who had
come TO see. the big show, but the
rain did not seem to darnpen their
ardor or enthusiasm in the least for,
from the small boy and little girl to
the gray-haired man and woman,
they brayed the rain and mud and
went to the show.
The street parade of the big Ring
ling shows started at the hour OF
ten from the show grounds and came
up Main street to Walnut, north on
Walnut to Washington avenue, and
out Washington avenue to the show
grounds. During their entire parade
it rained, and about one O'Clock when
the people were making for the tents
it commenced to fall harder than
ever.
The street parade of the Ringing
Shows was one of the largest and
grandest ever witnessed in this city
and, had it not been for the nclfner1t
weather to detract from the attrac-
lively painted wagons, natty uni
forms and spangled dresses, the sight
would have been something bewild-
ering TO the eye
1t was thought by many that when
once inside Of the tent that it would
keep them dry but they soon found
out their mistake fer in there it
proved rgearly as bad as out of doors
and the ground under foot was SO
wet and slippery that one could
hardly stand.
/ L If was no, better sitting down, for
the seats were as wet as water could
make them. When the grand entry
of theyzshow was started around the
ring tile tent was filled with thou
sands of people to witness the per-
formances, rain or no rain.
The performance from start to
I finish consisted of marvellous and
wonderful acrobatic and horseman-
ship feats, which kept the heads and
eyes of the people turning from ring
to ring in order to let nothing escape
their vision. On the whole, it is as
| advertised. great show, and admit
ted by both press and people.

Combination Is Blow to Governor
Patterson-Walsh Issues a Card
to His Supporters-Sprung a Sem
sation

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 3o-While
the financial distress over the coun-
try has overshadowed local politics
until the situation is generally quiet
as solitude itself John 7. Walsh
sprung a sensation today by issuing
a card that he and DR.. Herring, who
has heretofore. been Mayor MaIones
staunchest supporter had formed d
combination, and would stand to-
gether for two years of their term
This continues dictatorship and puts
Williams out of running so far as
dividing the pie is concerned 1t Is
also known that the Walsh faction
will support Crump against VIII
liams, which may cause defeat of the
former mayor in election next week.
On matters of public policy, Hen
ming will vote with Malone and
Crusnp, but on control of parthoage
he will be with Walsh.
Henning has been Walsh's family
physician for IS years.
Ills announcement was HdTd
blow to Gov. Patterson, who used all
his influence here to nominate Viii
liams in the primary, because. Rice
was for Carmack Rice people say
that they were defrauded in the pri-
mary and Williams people say it was
an honest election.
Below is the card issued by
Walsh and his Supporters:
In view of the unjust censure and
made for political purposes in GER

ON DESERT LAND.
Government Officials Decide in Favor
OF Original Settlers.

Charles I. Rudel has lost his contest
before the United States land otf1ce
against Tylda Sundquist, Il younS
woman of Butte county, who is en-
deavoring to cultivate some desert
land. The decision finally rendered
by the Rapid City land office officials
and is of extreme Importance to all
settlers who have taken up desert
land in that section. The ruling was
that the AND in question is properly
desert land, although capable under
certain circumstances n at odd
times of bearing good crops. The
.contestee is therefore permitted to re-
ain possession of the Ian on which
she has lived for a number of years
past and unless the decision is reversed
by the land office officials at Washing
ton, many others who have similar
lands are safe in the possession of
them, regardless OF the extent of the
crops they raised. The officials here
held that although the crops were in
some years good, the land was of a
rolling nature and not good agric-i-
tural ground.

IN MINES.
Appalling Death Roll In the United
.Ea ..L SfnfpS - 84#.

SSNNh " III NilS " SlittCu
States.
The Coal mines of the United States
are killing three times as many men
per 1000 employees as those Of most
European countries. In the last sew
enteen years 22,S4O men have given
up their lives in the mines OF this
country AS many violent deaths have
occurred in the mines during the last
six years as during the preceding elev-
en- years. The number of fatal acct
dents each year is now double that
of the year 1895. In 1906 1851 men
were killed or injured in the mines,
the dead numbering 2,061 and the in
jured 1890.
These terrible facts have been
cleaned by government experts acting
under orders of Secretary Garfield, of
the interior department., to investigate
the nature n extent of mine acct
dents, particularly those resulting
from explosions, and to make SUCCESS
tons as to how mining conditions may
be improved and accidents prevented.
