3 There is yet some hope for Abbeville-
she Is going to have a county fair.-Green-
wood Journal.
It Is hoped that the day is not far dis
tant, when Greenwood will have grown to
such giant proportions. that the Journal
will not feel impelled to measure her
growth by comparison with Abbeville.
Some of her citizens have compared her
with Atlanta; and for our part we are
perfectly content to have her compared
with Chicago, New York, London or any
other heavyweight town, just 20 Able
vile is not used as the yard stick Of
measurement.
Greenwood takes great pride in the
number of her automobiles. We will
grant her three to our one. She takes
great pride in her cotton mills. We will
grant that her mill population is more
than three times that Of Abbeville.
Greenwood takes great pride in her
railroads. We will grant that she has n
road more than Abbeville, and for sake
Of forever settling the question Of superior
growth, We will throw in the trolley.
Now there Is just one thing that we will
not concede, and that is, that Greenwood
or any other town is better satisfied with
itself than Is Abbeville, or is worrying
itself less about the affairs of other towns.
1t may be that it Is more the pity that
this is true, but it would be hard to find
any citizen Of the place who will take
kindly the commisseration Of our neigh
Dor THE Journal"
In all fairness to Abbeville, it should be
written, however, that no word Of criti-
cism or comparison with Greenwood is
aver uttered here.
While Abbeville has grown steadily for
fifteen years, our people are not Of the
temperament to take great pride In
material growth. 1t would be much more
profitable for Greenwood, then, and much
more pleasant for Abbeville, for the for
mer to fix her gaze forward or some town
like New York City, than in her minds, eye
to be ever gazing ~backward!at Abbeville.
Some might question whether Greenwood
really looks backward at Abbeville, but
the point is really not worth arguing, and
we concede this with almost anything else
to 1.-THE Journal" if it will just quit max
ing a yard stick OF us.

Even So.

The Greenville News has the following
to say Of the S%partanburg School in
cident. AS usual the News has the mat
ter sized up about right.
A Spartanburg parent had a teacher in
the public schools arrested for whipping
his son. The charge against the teacher
was dismissed, after the case had been
widely aired and reviewed. We are not
familiar with much Of the evidence in the
case, but it is a safe guess that the boy
deserved the p logging and da got t. not tba a LICK LICK
ways to ruin a boy that we know of is fot
a parent to take the side of the child
against the teacher. In n~inety-nine cases
out of a hundred the teacher is in the
right.

Verdict For 5000 dollars.

Columbia, Oct. 15.-Five thousand dol
lars is the amount awarded Mrs. Mary w.
Farmer today by a Richland county com
mon pleas jury, after elaboration extend
ing from two o'clock Friday afternoon
until early to-day. This case is unique in
South Carolina. Mrs. Farmer is the wild
dow of Constable James 7. Farmer. who
was shot and killed here two years ago by
Wade Hampton Sellers, known as 1.-The
blind tiger king" because OF his. extensive
operations in illicit liquor traffic. Farmer
search warrant in hand, was slain while
seeking access to a house where Sellers
boarded. Mrs. Farmer asked the civil courts
to award her sos, 900 damages against Sell
lers for her husbands taking Off. Sellers
will probably contest the case further.
A righteous Verdict. Why hang q man
before he has paid the damages due for
his misdeeds? Punitive damages in a case
of this kind is unusual, it is true, but be-
ing unusual does not argue that it is I'M
just.
1t may be that when Juries begin to open
their eyes to crimes of this kind and begin
to award punitive damages, as this Rich
land county Jury has done, in similar cases
it will have the effect Of reducing such
crimes.
When the railroads kill a man the Jurics
do not hang the railroads, they pay punt
tive damages. Punitive damages cut both
ways, they effect punishment on the de-
PENDENT for his misdeed and at the same
time they make restitution in a way to
the plaintiff.
Mrs. Farmer was awarded $4,000 damages
while this may not be as much as her hus-
band was worth to her home, still in a way
it will furnish her brea d which has been
taken from her in the death of her hus-
band.
We hope to see the verdict of the jury up
held in the superior court. Let it be known
that men will be punished for the taking
away of life unless in a case of self defense
and the crime will be reduced.

Death Of Little Lucille Bolts.

On last Thursday evening Oct. 9Th, our
community was %saddened by the news OF
the death of little Lucille, the only daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Bolts. She was
accidently drowned. Her mother left her
for a while in care Of her little brother and
it is thought she was playing in the tub
of water and fell in. Medical aid was
quickly summoned, but that with all taat
kind and loving friends could do was toe
late. She was eleven months old, just
beginning to walk and talk, such a sweet,
bright child for her age. Oh! how father,
mother and two little brothers will miss
the patter OF her little feet, the touch OF
her baby hand and the sound Of her sweet
voice. But weep not dear ones for Lucille
is safe in the arms Of Jesus.
Free from the blight Of sorrow,
Free from all pain and care,
Safe from the worlds temptation,
Sin cannot harm her there.
She.was buried Friday evening in Eb-
enezer Cemetery,
