Floating on Tires.

One OF the most amusing diversions
at some of the English watering places

not yet been tried in the United
States, but which should furnish much
amusement at the summer resorts

ing in the water on motor cars. Men
and girls attired In bathing suits, as
well as boys and girls, enjoyed them
selves hugely in this fashion and there
was much competition to see how long

duces this novelty at an American
summer resort will not only find him.

than the introduction of new, ex-
citing and wholesome sport which is

Pistol "Toting."

In the sane paper we notice an accouns
of q county sheriff urging a citizen to arm
himself for his personal protection against
men who threaten his life and also the IN
PRODUCTION OF a bill prohibiting the carry
ing Of concealed weapons.
A law against carrying concealed "ea-
pons is in many respects not an ideal la~'
When such q law is enacted it will be open
ly and flagrantly broken by that very class
to whom the law is supposed to apply,
while the law-abiding citizen Is robbed OF
protection in that he obeys the law ana is
thus unprotected, when he should be pro-
tected.
So openly and wilfully is such a law
broken by the pistol "toting" class that
the enactment OF such a law seems OF
doubtful propriety.
The honest, upright, ~law-abiding citizen
should be protected and ~safeguarded from
outlaws, and it is the duty OF the State to
give them that protection If possible.
No one believes that the enactment and
enforcement Of the pistol "totlng" law is
taken seriously by the pistol "toting"
class. They treat the law with utter con-
tempt, and until our officials find some
way to enforce this law it we're better left
off Of the statute book.

Didn't Want the Trolley.

4 citizen Of Abbeville, incognito, hap
pened to be in q hotel in Clinton some
weeks ago when the Clinton delegation re-
turned from a trip to see the Dukes in an
effort to secure the much talked Of trolley
line. The delegation seemed to be very
much 6isgusted, and like the fox In the
fable, said they didn't want it anyway.
They seemed to think there was no
doubt but that the road would go to Able
ville.. OF course this means provided Alb
beville does its whole duty.
An amusing idea gathered from the con-
v~ersation was that the delegation thought
our former fellow. townsman, Mr.. A. W.
Smith, was of the Dukes. Now, Mr.. Smith
is just one of those things in heart and
soul and influence, but he doesn't belong
to that particular family.

A New Automobile Bat terry.

Thos. A. Edison, it will be remembered
was down in North Carolina a few years
ago looking into the supply of nickel and
cobal in that state preparatory to produc'
ing a new and better storage battery fol
automobiles.
1t is now currently reported that he has
succeeded and that his invention will revo-
lutionize the automobile industry.
The old battery was made OF lead and
was thus too heavy for practical uses. The
present battery is made Of iron and nickel
and caustic potash, and is just half the
weight Of the former battery. Thus not
only is the load of the machine lightened
but the machine itself may be made lighter
when equipped with the new battery.
Electricity is the cheapest juice on earth,
and should the cost of the new batteries be
within reach, we may look for a revolution
in the automobile industry. With the
electric noise is reduced to the minimum,
the electric does not get out Of fix like the
gasoline engine. The electric is cleaner,
heater, and lasts just as long or longer than
the gas engine.

nal says:
DR.. S. A. Visanska, one of the founders OF
the Home for the Incurables, who has done
more than any one man to make it the
wonderful success it is, in speaking OF Miss
Clark, said:
AZ see no reason why she should not re-
cover her health. She is now able to walk
about the place and her spirits are excel
lent. None Of us know what her many
years il bed was caused by; nor do we
know what caused her recovery: She has
taken little or no medicine and she had no
functional disorder. It is one OF those
cases which battle medical science"
DR.. Sam Visanska and DR.. Payson Ken
nedy are Abbeville's contribution to the
Atlanta medical fraternity. These gentle
men stand at the very head Of their pro-
fession. They are ornaments to their pro
fession and an honor to their native coun-

curse OF a conversation with friends.

what states he would visit, but he would go
to a good many of them and do oil In his
power to bring about the election Of a re-
publican house.
III accepted all the invitations that
have been extended to me-" said speaker
Cannon II would be on the move for at
least six months. / have had no time to

That Uncle Joe Is in a happy frame of
mind and optimistic over the future is
shown by his manner. He perked up Won
derfully over the victory of the standpatt-
tative Walter /. Smith, who won out in
the ninth Iowa district over the Cummins
forces, when that fighting character re-
turned to Washington.
In the coming campaign Mr.. Cannon
will speak under the direction OF the re-
publican congressional committee. He
will be put on q special car and sent out
where it is believed he can do the most
good. 1t is not believed here that the speak.
er will invade any of the insurgent district.
He may visit certain states such as Iowa
and Minnesota where there are a district
or two that have stood by the regulars in
the midst of a bunch Of insurgent districts,
Uncle Joe intends to preach straight
out orthodox republican doctrine. He will
speak largely on the tariff, defending the
Payne-Aldrich act and defying those who
have criticised 1t.

And now comes the Anderson Daily Mail
with q news item suggesting that Lown-
desville, may Ia the near future start a
movement, to go into Anderson county.
Only so much of Lowndesville Township
as lies west Of Rocky River.is involved in
the suggested movement. The complaint
OF the people Of the Lowndesville section,
as we understand it Is that their roads
have hot been worked promptly.
The PRESS and Banner Is not undertak-
ing to speak for the people Of Lowndes-
Vile, but it is hard to believe that the peo-
pie Of Lowndesvile do not appreciate the
great difficulties under which this county
has iabored since the food Of 1908. Then
something like $4,000, worth Of bridges
were swept away, or it has taken that
much to replace them with iron bridges;
all the roads Of the county were badly
washed, and the county at the same time
lost the d~ispehsary revenue, amounting to
more than fifty thousand dollars a year for
all purposes. .
These matters are not mentioned as an
appeal to our friends at L%owndesville, for
we believe they are broad minded enough
themselves to appreciate them. tits mere
ly suggested that when time has beer
allowed for the county to adjust itself to
its curtailed income and its increased re-
sponsibiity, Lowndesville will have no
ground to complain Of the conduct Of the
mother county. .
In all the years past, Abbeville and
L~owndesville have been closely linked by
bonds OF affinity, c~onsunguinity, and
marriage" not to mention the fact that
politically they have stood close together.
With no definate information on the sub
ject, we do not believe that Lowndesville
will lightly break the bonds that Abbevile
so highly appreciates, and that she appre-
ciates In an absolutely unselfish spirit.

There seems to be something doing In
the alleged cotton pool matter, just now.
The grand jury Of New York City has
handed out true bills against Patton,
Scales, Brown and others, as having form
ed a pool in restraint OF trade; which being
interpreted mean that these men are
being prosecuted for catching q lot of
bears, whose maniputations have ours
cd the Southland from time immemorial.
The fight promises to way warm. Cotton
mill men who have bought their cotton at
the higher price, and who naturally resent
the effort Of the government to depress
the value of their holdings notably Lewis
W. Parker and John NJ. Law, are hitting
back vigorously.
Mr.. Law in an article in the State Of
June the 18th hands out some pretty plain
talk.
Senator E. D. Smith in the Senate and
Representative Aiken In the house handed
out some vigorous language, to the gov
eminent authorities, on this subject last
week. II Attorney General Wickersham
cares for public opinion, he will find that
he has caught a live wire before he has
finished with this effort to depress the
price Of cotton.
AS a preface to his his remarks on the
cotton prosecution. Mr.. Aiken took
occusion to denounce as false a statement
made by Representative Rowland Of Ohio,
to the effect that the South Carolina Dele
cation had voted for protection. It seems
Mr.. Rowland would not permit himself to
be interrupted the day before and so Mr..
Aiken hit him the first opportunity he had,
which was in his speech on the alleged
cotton pool business, the next day.
Both Mr.. Aiken's speech and Senator
Smiths short jab at the administration
appear in this Issue.
1t Is well that u representatives ore
awake on this subject, for il the great
power Of the United States Government
may be used to control fluctuations In the
cotton market, and it is used as it seems to
be only to keep the price down, the
producers had best go out Of business.
OF all the high handed measures Of which
the central government has been guilty,
this seems to be the limit.
