Test for Drinking Water.

To ascertain if water is free from
organic pollution, place a lump OF
sugar in bottle nearly full and cork
up. If, after thus excluding the air
and keeping the bottle in the light for
two or three days, no milky cloud is
apparent, but the water remains clear,
then it may be considered free from
the phosphates with which sewage wa
ter is impregnated.

ACTOR HELPED BY OLD LAW

"Rogue and vagabond."
London, May 11.-An actor who was
summoned to serve on jury made
the successful plea that under the law
he was a rogue and vagabond" and
therefore ineligible. In support of his
cor ention he produced an old act Of
pr. ament which never has been re-
pealed.
The surprised judge hastily perused
this act and had to admit that the ac-
tor was not qualified to sit on jury.

Editor Press and Banner,
will YOU be kind enough to give me little
space In your paper. First I do not like
news paper noterlety, I see that each OF my
five childrens' names are signed to q certain
article In this weeks Press and Banner,
expressing regrets at the removal OF the
present superintendent at The Lethe
Home. -,
I object to their names being used with
certainly approve Of the action Of the
four trustees Of the De La Howe estate:
They have elected MIR. Geo. Watkins, OF
Mccormick S, c., to be superintendent at
The Lethe Home. Abbeville county has
never raised q son who Is more worthy. OF
trust than George Watkins. His election
to this place makes it possible for another
most worthy person to receive benefit
from the estate OF the Noble De La Howe.
It is q wideawake sister Of Mr.. Watkins.
Mrs Toland, with four children, Her hus-
band was murdered in cold blood In Florida
Not very far from where I lived twenty
one years. This School was ''only. g
few years ago at a very low ebb financially"
but these trustees are string hard to raise
the standard of the institution. There
was a time when people looked down upon
The Lethe Home. And some people speak
disparaglngly yet Of this Home for needy
children. just yesterday l heard q man
laughing about their dietof black molasses,
bread, and water, while others at the same
table had a fine supper. "A lady friend

that what they got was a mere flttance

Editor Hugh Wilson.

Although Mr.. Hugh Wilson announced
some time ago that he had retired from
the editorship Of the Abbeville Press and
Banner, he is still contributing to the
columns of that paper every week. His
mind has not lost any Of it's vigor, and his
articles are as clear cut n as full OF
kindly humOr as ever.
We always enjoy reading any thing that
Mr.. Wilson writes, whether we agree with
it Or not. In fact, we think We will not
read the Press and Banner any more after
Mr.. Wilson quits writing for it. The new
editors, the Messrs. Bradley, are all right,
but the old paper will never be the same
without the old editOr.-Anderson Daily
Mail.
Norman appreciates the good opinion of
his friends more than does Editor Wilson
He likes the Mail, but does not understand
why that paper charges us with writing
for the Press and Banner after we ere
tired" Even II the Mail is correct in its
guess we are puzzled to know why readers
Of this paper think they can recognize us
in the editorials.
But for some reason unknown to US 1t
eeems that Editor Wilson's pieces are rec
ognized by many. They don't ever ask if
we wrote piece. They simply speak of
1t as though we had signed our name. MIR,
Wilson is truly grateful to the Mail for it's
kindly mention Of him, but it is not clear
to US how a man In Anderson or elsewhere
can tell when we write a little piece OF two
for the Press and Banner. Anyhow it is
nice to be pleasantly remembered.

Mothers Of the confederacy.

Lift your hat to Mrs. Becky Hill, She Is
a mother Of the C%onfederacy, being the
mother Of Mr.. j. ]. Hill, a stanch veteran.
Veterans are growing scarce. What
should we say Of mothers Of veterans?
They fought a fight against greater odds
than did their SONS. The sons went forth
to wal in good spirits; the mothers re-
NAMED home In tears. The sons suffered
physical suffering; the mothers, mental
agony. Which is worse?
Mrs. Becky Hill lives near Donalds.
Her son, Mr.. J, J. Hill, lives near Latimer
In this county.
Are there any other mothers Of the Con-
federacy in the county? If there be any
please let US know. We wish to publish
their names.
They should be given o cross OF honor
wrought In the precious metals and Jewels
Of the Celestial City" God alone knows
the height, the depth, the breadth Of the
suffering that these heroines underwent
during that struggle. No volume will ev-
er contain the anguish, no slab ever In
scribe the woe, no traditions will ever pass
down thru memory to coming generations
that great heart-ache suffered by the
mothers Of the Confederacy.
How many more are there in the county,
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1909-09-22

about the outskirts of the city you have
been struck with the number Of places
that have been q rendezvous in times gone
by, a place where the ground has been
swept off to be used as u deal table. About
has been scattered cards galore. Aces and
trays and kings and queens are thrown
around in profusion.
There are scores Of such places around
Abbeville. They are afraid to play in
town, so they hike % outskirts Of the city,
if possible just beyond the city limits. II
is appalling to see how the gambling spirit
has seized the negroes. Such is the case
not only in Abbeville, but in every town
where negroes are to be found in this part
of the State.
It looks almost wrong to hunt these ne
grocs down and jail them when they seem
to lie harming no one but themselves, play
ing for small stakes as they do, especially
when the same thing is being done by
some white men, and for greater stakes
but the trouble with these fellows is that
they are constantly on the still hunt fol
new recruits. They take the recruit on
the outskirts and proceed to skin him,
The recruit is not a good laborer any more
one taste is sufficient to ruin him. Once
he shufles the cards, he is a gambler fol
keeps.
Again, the negro cannot take losses like
the Oriental nations. The Orientals are
all past grand masters in all games Of
chance, and when he loses he does so phi,
losophically. He shrugs his shoulders and
the matter is ended. The negro some
times loses his temper with his money
and gets careless with guns, razors, etc.
which is sometimes detrimental to the
best interests OF those concerned.
1t is said that the garden back OF the
great gambling house at Monte Carlos is
rich with human blood of suicides. The
negro does not see the sense Of killing
himself; he kills the other fellow, which
by the way, is the most sensible view tc
take of the matter.
The gambling ought TO he stopped, but
such a thing is more easily said than done
as long as they hide out in the woods ant
thickets.

0rphanage Work Day.

Attention is called to the concert Of ac-
ton among the orphan institutions of
South Carolina with regard to Il special
work day effort Saturday, September %,
next: Thornwell %Orphanage, Connie Max
well Orphanage and Epworth Orphanage
have definitely planned for the success OF
the day and are circulating literature up
on the subject. We presume that every
orphan institution, OF whatever size or un-
der whatsoever auspices, will be glad to
nave its friends remember it on this day.
The plan is simple enough. Let every
boy and girl, every man and woman,
young and old, devote the income of the
day to the Orphanage Of his choice. Some
Of the children may pick cotton, others
may gather up old iron and sell it, some
will devote their salary or wages of the
day to the care of the orphans.
Coming down to the truth, is there any
cause that warns the cookies Of the heart
like the plea for the fatherless? Let the
people join in tho work day effort Sept. Is,
and roll up q big amount for the orphans
and forward the same to such institution
as each may select.-Baptist Courier.

Peary or Cook.

The story CT DR.. Cooks discovery OF the
Pole will be published in the Press and
Banner. This makes interesting reading,
and will give us some insight into the
hardships that men undergo in travelling
in polar regions.
All the sympathy seems to be with DR.,
Cook in the polar controversy. 1t. would
seem that a man who has sense enough to
graduate at Annapolis or West Point and
hold down a job with the government for
the time that Peary has, would have the
gumption to steer clear of such a contro-
versial bog. Commander Peary has acted
more like a cOrp'rl than a commander.
The fact that Peary belongs to the "regu-
lars" is much against him. When a man
joins the regular army he Immediately
gets out of touch with the world. The Of
ficers are waited or by the fellows in kah-
XII, the ''yaller dogs" What they say
goes. They are dictators. TO them no.
body talks back. II the fellow in the ranks
dares do so, they salt him down in a cool
place in order to remove the freshness
from such a recruit. The army officer
brooks no back talk. He is it. He holds d
commission. The fellows in the ranks be-
long to another sphere. There are excep-
tons, Of course, but the army system can
only bring about just such results, as a
rule. Thus, Commander Peary looks on
himself as the only logical discoverer of
the pole. That a fellow from the ranks,
like Cook, should discover the pole before
him Is simply preposterous. Hence, fuss
and feathers.
DR.. Cook came up in a school that teach
es respect for the opinions Of others; that
teaches fallibility Of all men; that teaches
charity and benevolence. Hence, no loud
blast of trumpets; no arches of triumph
no self-plaited laurel wreaths.
And the great public mind turns to Cook,
and will remain staunch for him until he
proves himself unworthy its confidence,
while Peary-it is to smile.

Of the little boys to go down to the S. A. L.

are being made to stand comfortably 500

All little boys should come early and
avoid the rush. They should eat enough
supper to do for breakfast the next morn
ing, for there will not be enough time to
attend to it during the day of the circus.
If you have heart trouble you had better
stay at home. The excitement will be
tense from start to finish. Hair breadth

$4,000, and same has all been spent.
After carefully ~convassing the situation,
we conclude the profits from the dispen-
sary from now till it Is closed, Nov. 1st,
will aggregate for comfy purposes four
thousand dollars. Fines and Licenses
probably One Thousand Dollars, and in
addition the sum Of Six Thousand Dollars
will be required to defray the expenses
from now till Jan. LIST 1910. In view Of the
present financial state Of the County we
urgently recommend that the supervisor
borrow Six Thousand Dallars and We fur
Their recommend that our Legislative dele
CATION levy one mill in the year 1910 on the
property Of the County to pay last indebt'
edness. With this recommendation backed
up with the endorsement of!our representa-
tives, we feel quite certain the local banks
will come to the rescue Of the County.
EDUCATION.
The subject Of education is an all pre-.
vading one. Our people are fully awaken
cd to the necessity the advantages, the
possibilities Of education. Our County
held its rally and the response has already
come in the effort Of u people
to lengthen the school term
secure better teachers, erect new
buildings or improve and beautify the
old ones. The latter is the special work Of
the Rural School Improvement Association
whose organizers are doing good work In
our County.
The Superintendent has visited all the
schools and is doing commendable work.
With regard to finances OUT schools are
in good condition.
We thank his honor the Solicitor the
Clerk and the Sheriff for the courtisies
shown US during Court.
Respectfully Submitted.
