Dr.. Dixon Dead.

Dr.J. A. Dixon died att his home in Able.
vile on Wardlaw Street Tuesday, January 10.
1909. His health has been gradually falling
from pulmonary trouble.
He was cheerful to the end, and met Geath
with calmness and resignation that is seldom
seen. :
DR.. Dixon was born on Christmas day, !s7l.
After graduating In dentistry he located at
Abbeville where by attention to the affair,l Of
his business and by uniform courtesy he
built up prosperous busin ess.
On the 18th OF December, 1901, DR.. Dixon
was married to Miss Lena irene Brownlet
second daughter of Captain ]. E. Brownlee c1
the Antreville section. Never has woman
been more faithful in bearing up under the
burdens that sickness had laid upon the hus.
band. That the youngrwifs two little boys
should be deprived Of the strong hand OF the
head Of the house, at q time when life seemed
to hold so much Of promise, is q mystery that
man can not fathom. ~
All the kindly sympathy OF friends here
and at her former home are rendered Mrs
Dixon. These things can not fill the void in
the human heart, but they tighten the weight
Of sorrow. Il
DR.. Dixon was held In the highest esteem
In Abbeville. He and his good wife were re-
lated, reared In the same community. They
were both born on December 18th, there being
six years difference in their ages. y They are
both largely connected with some Of the best
people Of the Antreville section Of the county
who feel deeply the loss Of so good man.
DR.. Dixon was buried at Little Mountain
Presbyterian church, this county. In the
presence Of an extraordinary assembly o.
friends from this place and Antreville. Rev
H. Y. Fennel Of Lowndesville officiated
preaching very strong and impressive ser
mon. ~ u,
Pail bearers were: Drs. Calvert and Niokles
Messrs.J. E. McDavid, J. L. Mcmillan. ]. L

Interesting Occasion.

This editor was not at the recent meeting
OF the stock holders Of the Abbevi,le- Green
wood Fire Insurance Association, but we
learn'that various stock k-holders weke much
Interested In the election OF q Board Of Di.
rectors which would make desired changes
in the personel OF the officers and reduce the
salaries. ~ TSs
As we understand there was no complaint OF
the efficiency and ability Of either the Presi-
dent or the General Agent but as these Of
fcers were receiving one about 5000 and the
other about 81 100, It was thought that other
gentlemen would be willing to take their
places and perform all the duties OF the re-
specttve offices for figures much below those
which are now being paid. J Y
It was not proposed to let out the offices
to the lowest bidder, but then 1t was certain
that the work conld be done at less cost than
has been paid. BY close souffle one of the
directors who was favorable to the old officers,
was defeated for reelection. When the smoke
of battle had cleared away, the eyes Of some
ofthe gentlemen were focused; on these lines
which appear in the By -LawsNof the Associa-
tion: -
TERM OF OFFICE.
49,. The President and General Ag ent shall
be elected by majority vote Of the Board OF
Directors In convention, and shall continue
In office for q period Of four years, and the
Directors shall be elected by the majority
vote Of members In convention and shall
continue for a period OF one year.
And then the fact became known that the
President and the General Agent were elect
ed a year ago, and therefore had three years
TO serve. The economists will be in good
time for the election which occurs three years
hence, ,,.- .-i
The management OF the Abbeville Green.
wood Mutual Association excited the highest
commendation from State Superintendent
of Insurance McMaster, and the efficiency
and zeal Of the officers have increased the
business which accounts fof the increase Of
1.-THE salary ofits officers. The Press and Ban
ner regards the Abbevllle-G Greenwood In;
surance Association as first class In point O.
security and fair dealing. The cost Is far be-
low the cost In the old time companies. For
country property the strange part about Its
being cheaper is that II takes only such risks
as the Old time companies would not have,
Ittakes all sort of homes In the country,
no matter how remote from water. When
they insure house In town they seem TO
have a holy honor of water and fire COM
panies. They want no fire plugs and no fire
companies,-they inst dote on q house that is
out OF reach OF water and fire companies.

War on Consumption.

DR.. g. A. Neuffer asks Us to call attention
to public meeting to be held In the Court
room next Friday night to organize club
to light that preventable and much dreaded
disease, consumption. A large percent Of the
deaths in every community are caused by
consumption. UP to this time no special
effort has been made to ward of the disease,
which, when 1t once has start, is hard to
stop. 1t is said that fifteen hundred OF the
people of South Carolina die annually of
this diseace. and 1t is nov contended that it
10 preventable disease. It is. said that by
proper preventive effort consumption can be
made to disappear from the face of the earlh.
It Ia for the purpose OF talking about this
disease that our physicians invite the people
to hear them talk on subject that should be
OF the greatest possible interest to every
human being on earth. We believe that ply
-siclans claim that this is one of the most
fatal Of all the diseases, and we futher believe
that they have LITTLE hope OF efecting cure
after the disease has made headway. But
1t looks as II, with Intelligent care on the
part OF the people, the disease Is easily pre-.
ventable. II Is now conceded that the disease
is not hereditary, but it is believed that no
man is immune from its attack, except from
prudence and care 10 prevent 1t.

Running Against the Eureka.

For long time Abbeville has not had the
best OF fquarters. for city prisoners, but things
are better now. Years ago, prisoners, mules,
plow-stocks and harness put up closely In
the same neighborhood. Not 30 long ago
the prisoners and the mules were separated
and the prisoners held the fort, until now
the city council has just completed the best
and most comfortahle cells for its dodgers.
In each cell is good board bench, With
the soft side Of the plank turned up, spig-
got from which drinking water, and water
to perform the morning oblution, may
be dra 9n. sewerage, electric lights, steam
heat, great iron doors, and other things
which make the prisoner comfortable DUR
|ing the night and which may insure his pres
ence at the Mayors Matinee in the morning.
As far as this editor can see there is nothing
lacking In the city's lookup. 1t Is credit
to the humanity OF the council that they have
set 30 good an example OF proper treatment
of prisoners. Here's the pride. Now for the
disgrace.
But you want to see system OF cruelty
TO prisoners look at our Jail and view the
scanty provision that has been made for the
comfort, and the total neglect OF the decent
humsnities. A decent hog ought not to be OF
fsred the indignity of a nights lodging, one
old blanket Ia all that they get. No water.
no SEWERAGE one winter prisoner was 80
badly frost bitten that upon the Sheriff tel
ling the Court of his suffering, tho judge
set the man free.
The provision for the care Of the county prls-
oners is next to nothing. The sheriff is fur
nIshed nothing with which to ameliorate
their suffering, the stencil that must arise
from the cells from which slops and filth are
not removed more than once day must be
dissracefIl 10 any people claiming chsistian
civilization. TIE cost Of putting water and
sewerage into the different cells could not be
over $40 or $50 per cell. And yet humane Ab-
beville county is SO penurious as to treat q
prisoner with less consideration than is
usually given pig. The frost bitten prisoner
certainly ought to sue the County for dam
ageR.
The sheriff can not be expected to furnish
these necessities out of his private fund; and
II the grand jury will look carefully into the
conditions we feel sure that they will reco.
nize the necessity Of Improvement and order
the remedy.

Back from Cuba.

Our frirnds who went to Cubs two weeks
ago are back. DR.. Speed and Mr.. Brown talk
most Interestingly OF Havana WeSunder-
stood them to cay that they passed over
Flagler's new road, which stretches over
little islands far out Into the sea. Quite 8!
number Of the passengers were sick while on
the water. Havana Is a. nicely kept city.
The beet element OF Cuba; were beaten In the
recent election. It is thought that the gamb.S
ling sports, bull fights, and 80 forth, Will be-
restored now that the United States troops
are away and when this country ceases TO,
exercise Its moral influence over the Cubans.
Some OF the Cuban's are not as loyal 70 tho,
United States as they might be supposed To-
be. Some are inclined 70 resent the effort
Of the United statea authorities to govern
their morals. They say that the authorities
actually tried to opreyent the merchants from
opening their stores on Sunday. DIR. Speed
thinks the eyes and hearts Of many CubanB
turn back to Spain rather than to rs who
would restrict their sports. He thinks its
out question of q little time when trouble
will break ont again on the island. The fsar.
