WOMEN WIN At AN ELECTION
Members Of Fair Sex Chosen for
School Officials r..


Shoreham, N. Y, Aug. 4.-Women
residents of the summer colony here,
under the guidance of Mrs. Harriet
Stanton Blatch, a suffrage leader,
scored triumph at the school cleo
tons. Angered because, as they
claim, the. village school officers
snubbed them, the women held ind!g-
nation meetings and determined to
defeat the men at the election. ..
A sex war was fought to afinish in
which man was completely over
whelmed and routed. The women
voted to increase the number of
school trustees from one to three and
then proceeded to elect women to- fill
these offices, as we'll as those of clerk
and treasurer. -.

Cholera in Russia.

Asiatic cholera has broken out in Russia
again and Is fast spreading over the
empire. At the end of July there were
$1,000 cases and about 40 per cent were
fatal.
Ihe cholera Is a terrible disease. It
gives no warning. 1t does its work
quickly. There is no pain and yet a
cholera cadaver has every appearance of
having endured e1cruciating agony. In
injected countries cholera is q word to
conjure with. 1t spreads over the land
like a pail, like the shadow of some horri-
bic eclipse. Mems faces wear a peculiar
sinister expression when cholera stalks
abroad In the land. 1t fills the atmosphere,
1t paralyzes business. It is an awful,
dreadful disease.
Poe must have had cholera in mind
when he wrote the Mask Of Red Death.
Nothing could suggest more mortal hor-
rorrand. cold sweat than cholera.
Yet 1t is a disease that is durable and
~preventsble.. Cholera is a bug. Unless
you get the bug you will not have the
cholera If the cholera patient can re-
eeiVe medical attention at once he stands
q good chance for recovery. One reason
the cholera is so fatal in some countries
Is that the people do not have medical
assistance when they become Ill. If you
should have to send 20 or 80 miles for a
doctor In a cholera case, it were just as
well not to send.
We fear cholera on account of it's cpl
demic form, on account Of it's terrible
fatality, on account Of It's reputation as a
horrible disease, and yet we here and now
have with US, in our midst, everywhere
around US, q disease more dangerous,
more fatal, harder to stamp out than
cholera or any other disease, and that is,
consumption, the Great White Plague.
Our teeth would chatter if the apers
should announce to morrow that cholera
was about to sweep over the United States
or that Buboiic Plague would be spread
over the country land there Is a possibility
OF this being done and yet we do not
give one thought to the Great White
Plague. Strange, isn't it?

Confederates in Spartanburg.

The Confederate reunion is now in full
blast in Spartanburg, where the people
had made ample arrangements for the
hospitable treatment Of all who might
come. These annual reunions are re-
minders of the days that tried mems souls,
and the participants in the struggle are
worthy of the honor and the affection
which are bestowed upon them. 1t is
hoped that these reunions may be kept
up for years yet to come. Among the
honored veterans and valorous soldiers
who went yesterday from Abbeville, we
note the names Of:
H. w. Bowie
T. j. Bowen.
Francis Henry.
7. G. Seal.
w. A. Templeton.
T. P. Quarles.
The latter having preceded the Others
on Sunday because OF the illness OF his
wife, Mrs. Quarles, who Is on a visit te
daughters in that city.
May these old soldiers in the cause o.
Southern Rights live for many years, bles'
with the country's best wishes.

: He belongs in the class with Charles

The Bows Corn Club.

The members OF the Abbevile County
Boys Corn Club are saving wood and
saying nothing. Each n is after a
prize, and each one deserves a prize, too.
It is understood that there will be a
number of prizes. And here the Press and
Banner will open the ball. We will give
one years subscription for the best yield
per acre. We will also give one years
subscription to the boy making the best
exhibit at the County Fair which takes
place in Abbeville on the 18th, 18th, and
Goth of October. We will also give one
wears subscription to the boy who has
planted the largest acreage.
There is more corn planted in Abbeville
County this year than has ever been
planted in any one year before. This Is
due largely to the impetus given corn
growing by the Boys Clubs. If a boy can
make 100 bushels of corn on one acre then
there is no use planting one acre and
making 5 or 10 bushels on it as we have
been doing from time immemorial.
The Superintendent Of Education, Mr.
]. Foster Hammond, is at the head OF the
Corn Club and any one caring to offer a
prize will confer a favor on the county by
comforting with him.
The boys who are c%ontending for the
prizes are doing we'll. Some have seen
the corn and they say it is fine.
Each patch will have to be measured
and the corn weighed before it will be
known who out ahead in the con
test.
Those Offering prizes are allowed TIC
offer a prize for any feature of the contest
which they may desire to emphasize
Some one should offer a prize for the best
ear, or for the best seed. Most OF us are
too careless as to the kind OF seed we put
in the ground. Some n should oifer d
prize for the best meal made in Abbevllle
County from contest corn.
There are scores of things which Should
be emphasized and it is hoped that oul
people may interest themselves in the
contest enough to offer a lot OF prizes ano
thus encourage an enterprise that will DC
more for the county than any other agency
Just now.

The State Should Insure Lives and
Property.

The Columbia Record in writing OF
Little Known Facts Of Well Known Car
olinians," says Of one Of Abbeville's citi-
Zens:
Hugh Wilson, editor of the Abbeville
Press and Banner, stands for the cryptic
utterance that he is a democrat, and al
though he has often criticized his own
party and always regards 1t his public
duty to vote for the best man available,
he has ever maintained hts party allegl.
ance.'
MI. Wilson believes that the state
should insure the lives and property Of its
citizens at the usual rates, being convinced
that by this meal it would secure q
revenue sufficient to meet the entire ex.
pense OF the government"
The Record Is always able and it would
always be fair. It's interest in the public
welfareis not exceeded by any newspaper
or any man in the State. Let us then
hope that the Record may approve the
plano putting big money into the treas.
ury bf the State by insuring the lives and
the property Of its citizens.

AbbeviIIe Water Supply Infected.

The last analysis of city water SHOWS
that our supply of drinking water is po'
luted with bugs. What kind Of bugs we
do not know but the water is wiggl1ng
and wriggling with millions Of bugs-'bad
bugs.
The people of the city are boiling their
water. Some are getting their water from
wells. Some are cleaning out wells thai
have been discarded.
Many are inclined to condemn branch
water as a source Of water supply, but as
a matter of fact branch water is just as
good as any water provided it does not
become contaminated. If the branch
whence we get our water supply had been
properly looked after it is hard to see now
the supply could become contaminated
The sun has a fair chance at the branch
where our water comes from and sunlight
is the greatest germicide known. Sun
shine kills more bugs than any other
agency in the world. II the weeds and
grass has been cut down along the branch
and If pure sand has been used in fllerinR
our water it is hard to see how 1t could
become poisoned. 49,
It is we'll for us that our Board OF Health
is alert or else we might have had ar
epidemic Of fever. Instances have occurred
where entire towns we're down with fever,
so to speak, from a contaminated water
supply.
There are some who do not believe IN
bugs that they cannot see. Such' OF
course, can only learn by experience.
The Board Of Health is busy with the
matter and it is hoped that they will soon
get a negative analysis OF the water
supply. -,
There is no use for US to condemn creek
water. Creek water is just as good as
any water. What we should do is to
clean up the creek, keep all communicating
influences away, and keep the creek clean
Sunlight and oxygen will do the rest.
