CABLE TO ROOSEVELT.
New Orleans Beats Other Cities with
Exposition Invitation.

bApOsitiou invitation,
New orleans. Feb. 26.-New Orleans sent
a cablegram to Africa this afternoon in
viting Col. Roosevelt to become the direc-
tor general of the Crescent City's SS5, Co.,
O00 Panama exposition, to take place here
TO mark the opening OF the canal
As soon as a reply has been received
from the former President a committee
will go to either Paris or London to meet
him and discuss with him plans for the
big exposition, on which New Orleans
has been working for months
There are other cities in the country
who want the Panama exposition. and it
may be that the invitation to Roosevelt
is a bit premature. San Francisco is
mighty anxious TO entertain the nation
when the canal opens. However. New
Orleans business men, representing the
different city exchanges. are certain this
city will get the big fair and they are
pretty sure that Roosevelt will be willing
TO engineer the details of it.

That BalIenger Letter.

A man who holds the responsible posi-
ton Of President Of the United States
should weigh each word he utters even as
an %apothecary weighs his precious medi-
cines. He should see to 1t that nothing
he says or writes reflects discredit either
on himself or on his party.
Testimony in the Ballanger case the
other day showed that the President had
issue a letter exhonerating Ballanger and
that the letter had not been written by
the President but by an underling, AS
sisstant Attorney General Lowler.
The testimony was startling and over
whelr 'ng that the President was forced
to write a letter Of explanation in which
he stated that he had asked the Assiss-
tant Attorney General to write the letter
but that he had used very little Of 1t land
had written most Of the letter himself.
The president Is a busy man and no
doubt he delegated this duty to the ASS
istant Attorney General just as he often
delegates such things to members OF his
cabinet who are directly interested In the
question in hand. But some things can
not be delegated and when the President
persist in 30 doing he may look for severe
criticism.

The annual meeting Of the Stockholders
Of the Abbeville Building and Loan was
held on the fourth instant. The Associa'
ton was shown to be in a f%lourishing con
dition. All moneys collected are loaned
ahead and in order to secure loans n~otifca.
ton must be made to the association more
than six months in advance.
The first series has earned 16 per cent
for the stockholders. Already the third
series has been issued and the forth will
be issued in July Of this year.
The Association has done untold good in
aiding men to buy homes. A man Is bet
ter citizen when he owns his home. His
home Is his castle be it over 30 humble,
there Is no place like it, and any propo-
ganda that has for its purpose putting
in the hands of men means to buy homes
does untold good to a community.
The town which has no Building and
Loan is miuns an asset which is Of meal
culable value.
At the meeting all officers were re-elect-
ed.

the Treasurer Of the Association, MIR. joe
Morse, which speaks for itself:

The Trolley Survey.

The survey from Bolton South toward
Greenwood is being made. The fact that
the survey Is being made to Greenwood
first appears to the Greenwood Index as q
good omen, for that thriving city.
The Abbeyille Press and Banner thinks
that the omens are favorable to Abbeville
for the following reasons: First we are
fifteen miles nearer to the markets OF the
West than is Greenwood. This may seem
to some to be a small matter but consid-
cred in all its bearings to the question 1t is
Of great moment Second. we are over three
miles nearer to Donalds than Is Greenwood
This advantage is much greater than the
mere cost OF building the three extra
miles, that would amount to only about
$4,000, but the fact that freight would have
to BIO pulled this extra three miles In the
week for every week In the year forever
and q day amounts to much indeed.
Third, our people are awake, we may have
dozed in the past but We are awake to-
day.
Greenwood claims, it is understood, that
the trolley would have more traffic from
Greenwood than to Abbeville. Upon
what she bases such al assumption is not
understood. How 1t would be possible for
the trolley to carry more passengers to
the Seaboard from Donalds to Greenwood
than from Donalds from Abbeville Is not
quite plain, especially since the Southern
runs directly from Donalds to Greenwood
and no such line parallels the proposed
route to Abbeville.
The omens look soodto 4sbeville.

Moon in EcIipse-comet Reeedihg.

A few hours after the comet disappeared
in the west Monday night the moon began
to engage the attention Of star gazers here
about by going into eclipse.
We read in Holy Writ that once upon a
time the morning stars sang together.
This performance was not repeated Mon
day night, and 1t is well.it was not, for poor
guessing humanity has about stood its
limit in the way Of celestial performances.
With the queen Of night playing the
oriental role, with the dazzling train OF
the visitor sweeping around Jupiter, Mars,
Mercury and Neptune, a song or TWO from
these staid old dignitaries OF the heavens
would create more angels than ever went
up at one time from this poor world.
This idea OF the morning stars singing
together is poetec; it is grand opera in
perfection, but a performance just now, in
this section of the universe, would be Ill
timed. OF course we are lot afraid, but
II this performance should be put on so
soon after the antics Of the moon and
comet, there will be few white folks and
no "niggers" ut all left to witness the per-
Torrance.
The moon Is jealous Of the attentions
that the comet has been receiving Of late.
Her majesty has suffered humiliation, in
that, night after: night she has seen her
old admirers turn their gaze on the tickle
visitor. Wisely did she conceive the idea
Of half %concealing her charms behind the
veil. Love and admiration are more the
creatures Of imagination than OF sight.
But to half conceal her charms seems to
be a trick Of the comet as well. She is no
vulgar bold faced wench to be seen bare
faced at every gathering.
Our sympathies go out to the majestic
queen, but hers is only the lott OF poor
humanity. Whenever a new Venus drops
into the social circle, old stars must adorn
the wall until her reign Is over. But the
visitor Is going. Within ten days she
will have moved into the sphere OF ether
worlds. Perhaps she will throw the apple
OF discord amongst Jupiter's proud sat-
elites. And after all she is nothing but q
poor adventurer, who knows the tickle
ness OF the affections; who looks to new
lovers, rather than to the constancy OF the
old.

The Hospital.

In Ahbeville and Orangeburg movements
have been started for the erection and
equipment of hospitals. Every hospital is
headquarters OF organization against dis
ease and for its prevention. Wherever
there are hospitals there are better ply
sicians and surgeons and their endeavors
to improve the public health are better
arranged and coordinated.
Abbeville and Orangeburg are progress
siys. towns; the establishment Of hospi-
tails should appeal to the benevolence OF
their people and, as well, to the intelligent
people who recognize that concerted com
munit y action for the Improvement OF the
community health is the beet OF all Dusl-
ness policies.
The above editorial taken from Fridays
State, states very clearly the benefits OF a
hospital in a town like Abbeville. A hospi-
tai stands for "better physicians and sur
yeons' and is headquarters for organiza-
ton against disease and for it's prevention
The Abbeville Hospital will stand for all
this an d more. The fact that we nave a
hospital will give the town a standing
among the physicians Of the state, and
all who have the good Of the people at
heart. It will stand for the progress we
have made in the past ten years and Will
be q benefit in o large way to the whole
county. -,
Every mar and woman in Abbeville will
he asked to take a share in the hospital and
it is to be hoped that the response will
be liberal.
In this day there is no such thing as a
cheap spell Of sickness; therefore it is well
to have head quarters where the pre-
vention OF disease will be taught or where
those who are unfortunately sick can be
cared for in the most scientific and AMI
tary manner.
