He Was . Poor Guesssr.

He was a new conductor and anx. aous to expedite matters. When he saw . woman holding a two dollar bill in her hand he dispensed with the customary exhortation to pay her fars and began to count out change. There had been . drain on his pockets throughout the trip, and he was obliged to interview half the passen- gers in the car before he finally SC. cured the desired small coin. Finally the transaction was completed, and tho conductor returned to the woman.
 'Fare? he said.
 The woman dshed . nickel from her pocketbook. Then she looked at the two dollar bill.
 ''Dear mev' she said. "How careless I am! forgot I had that money in my hand. Somebody might have stolen it."
 "Chumpr' growled the conductor.
 The woman thought he meant her. but he didn't He was cursing his own stupidity.-New York Globe.

Good Work for the Southern.

Atlanta, Ca, April 23-(Special) ).-Realiz-
ing that nothing is more vitality important
to it's interests than the prosperity Of the
farmers living along it's lines and in the
tributary territory, the Southern Railway
Company is doing everything in its power
to promote their interests. One of the
methods adopted is the running Of special
agricultural trains in cooperation with the
officials of State agricultural departments.
Such q train was recently run over the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad from Guys to Union
CITY, Tenn, under the direction of NJ, V.
Richards, land and industrial agent OF the
Southern Railway and the Mobile and Ohio
railroad, and Hon. John Thompson, COM
missioner of tho Tennessee Agricultural
Department:
This train bore party Of lecturers fur
nished by the State agricultural depart
ment, fifteen stops were made, and more
than $500 farmers heard the addresses.
Such signal success attended the running
of the train that Commissioner Thompson
has requested the Southern to furnish a
similar train to be run over its lines in
East Tennessee. This train will probably
be furnished as soon as the state authori-
ties are ready to undertake the trip.
President Finley of the Southern is par
ticularly interested in work of this charac-
ter and is devoting great deal Of his time
toward studying the needs of the farmers
of the southeast with view toward fur
nishing helpful cooperation in every pos
Sible manner.

Ely. ABBEVILLE, s. O., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1910.

Lees efforts to defame the shows and to
cast reflections on people with whom he
lives, he has done both himself and the
people Of this community very great
wrong. Both he and this community are
much better than Mr. Lees letter may lead
the public to believe.
What the Rev. Geo. Gary-Lee says
about the shows taking money out Of the
country would apply with equal force to
the,collections which are taken up by the
churches to support preachers in foreign
lands.
What he says about counterfeit money
may remind some Of his readers of these
lines
"Lest men suspect your tale untrue,
Keep probability In view.
"The Puritan hated bear-baiting, not be-
cause it gave pain to the bear, but be-
cause it gave pleasure to the spectators. "
There is 80 much bad in the best Of us,
There is so much good in the worst OF uf,
That 1t behooves none Of us,
To talk about the rest OF u.s."
Religion does not consure or exclude
Unnumbered pleasures harmlessly pur-
sued"
Though I speak with the tongues Of men
and angels, and have not charity, am be-
ONE as sounding brass or tinkling
ymbal."

Some years ago a contractor build
ing a railroad in. warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at cnce to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fet to the
men.
He also boiled Quaker Oas and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
all signs of stomach disorders passed
andhis men showed a decided improve
ment in strength and spirits. This con-
tractor had experience that taug ght him
the great value of good oatmeal. s.

The EVIL OF SHOWS.
And The Vain Imaginings Of a eoo'
Minister Of The Gospel.

In the last weeks issue Of the Press and
and Banner the Rev. Geo. Gary-Lee does
himself and this community an injustice.
Mr.. Lee is no doubt better man at heart
than his letter might lead others to think
Even if he thought this community OF
people to be as bad as he pictures them,
he must have forgotten himself when pub
shing his evil Thought OF us.
He would no doubt find it difficult to
prove some of his assertions by impartial
or competent witnesses.
In the first place: He says that "shows
stand for nearly all that is forbidden in
the Ten Commandments" except, perhaps
the bearing of false witness. He didn't
charge the shows with bearing false
witness.
utwould seem that Mr. Lee saw evil which
others did not see, an which others were
not looking for.
He didn't see the ferris wheel, the flying
jinney, the animals, the moving pictures,
the busy workshops, the midgets, the high
dive, the balloon, or any other OF its inno-
cent performances He saw only coarse
ness, vulgarity and places "for men only" +,
which evil things at least some men did
not see.
In the second place: He says that TAO
respectable man would subject his wife
and daughters to the .coarseness, vulgari7
ty and indecent attitudes of the shows,
1t would be perhaps difficult for the Rev.
Geo. Gary-Lee to furnish proof to verify
his gross and unwarranted charges
against people Of this community. An I'm
partial jury might conclude that there
were men and women at the shows Who
are just as truthful, just as virtuous, and
who are just as conscientious as the Rev.
Geo. Gary-Lee, and who would be too good
! to make wholesale and unwarranted
charges against the community in which
they live.
1t is quito probable that the traducer Of
people who attended tho shows would
find it difficult to furnish proof to sustain
assertions of his presumptive superb
ority.
| Nothing that is evil in the shows or in
it's accusers should be approved, but the
wrong wherever found, shonld be correct
cd. It would seem that in Rev. Geo. Gary

The press dispatches from Greenville are
to the effect that very strong delegation
Of representative business men from Able
vile met with the Dukes and party in
Greenville for the purpose Of presenting
to the trolley line people the advantages OF
extending the system to Abbevlle. They
were not particular as to the route-what
they wanted was the trolley line and its
connections. Such q spirit Is most COM
mendable butt Is strangely lacking In
some communities that like to blow Of
their progressiveness.
It takes just such spirit as is being
shown by the people Of Abbeville to guar
antee the progress and prosperity OF any
community and Its hoped that the good
When they want thing they do not hesi-
tate to make known their wants-they do
not hesitate to go down after it nor to go
down in their jeans after the money to
bring it about. And as result Of this ef-
fort on the part Of the people to get q
branch Of the great Duke system Of troll
ley lines, they will doubtless succeed.
Now why should not the people OF this
city, as well as those In the section OF
country between here and Abbeville, exert
themselves. A line for railroad from this
city to Abbeville was surveyed several
years ago. 1t was said to be practicable
Undertaking. Then why should not this
line be called to to the attention Of the
trolley line officials ? The people of Bel
ton will ask that the road be built from
that place to Abbevllle but. why should 1t
not be- from this city to Abbeville? OF
course it will not be unless some effort is
made by the people Of this city and those
Of the Intervening section Of country. Alb
beville Is ready and willing to join hands
with us in such an undertaking. Then
why should we not become active In the
matter? What Is the good Of numerous
business organizations that appear to ex-
list merely for the sake OF name? In
days gone by such organizations were
alive, wide awake and accomplished much
good, and this connection with AbbeVille
and its railroad facilities, can be accom-
