With an utter disregard for signs

optimism that even the hodoo of the

en-, the Bull Moose party has estab-
lished South Carolina headquarters

AN article Ia the Columbia Record ne
proposes to travel the State imam au-

for some time been identified with

o NEIGHBOR.

An article published in the Daily
Mail of October 18th, written from
Washington, Georgia, makes many
claims for that city as to the part its
public men played in the Confeder-
acy. Among other things it claims
that ''the last Confederate Cabinet
meeting was held in the General
Heard house, which was torn down
and replaced by the elegant new
Wilkes County court house." tits
an undisputed fact that has gone
down in history that the last CQnfed-
crate Cabinet meeting was held /,
the Burt House in this city, which il
now occupied by Mr.. j. s-aStark.
The cabinet, fully representa-, met
here for the last time, and disPanded.
, The article likewise claims that
Jefferson Davis Vas born i'm Georgia.
The tact is, he was born In Kentucky,
in an adjoining county to that in
which Lincoln was born. :
II the accuracy of the article is to
be judged by these two references, it
will be of little value to history.

II SWEETEST LIVES

elizabeth Barrett Browning)
The sweetest lives are those to duty
wed,
Whose deeds, both great and small,
Are close~knit strands OF an unbroken
thread
Where love enobles all.
The world may sound no trumpets,
ring no bells;
The Book of Life the shining record
tells.
Thy love shall chant it's own beautiful
des.
After it's own life-working. A child's
kiss
Set on thy signing lips shall make
thee glad;
A poor man served by thee shall
make thee rich; 80"
A sick man, helped by t hee shall
make thee strong;
Thou shalt be served thyself by ev-
cry sense
OF service thou renderest.

and they grow mighty big in Long
Cane townships, will: be On exhibition.
PeaSine hay, some OF the best pea
vine hay in the country. grows IN
.Donalds township, fodder, etc., will
be on exhibition. Extraordinarily
fine stalks Of cotton will, doubtless be
exhibited by the good farmers OF
Due West, Lowndesville, Calhoun
Falls, and other townships. Fine
hogs and pigs and cows I. and sheep
and goats will be put on exhibition
by the Abbeville county people, who
live at, home and who do mot depend
upon western marketsS for their
meats. There will be. poultry ex-
hibits galore-some Of the best chick
ems in South Carolina ARE raised at
Bordeaux, Mccormick, and Mount
Carmel in Abbeyille county. Able
Vile city itself boasts Of some .poul-
try fanciers. And, then there are the
fine horses which are to be found

. No fair Is complete without the la
dies departments, no COUNTY Is better

AN OPPORTUNITY.

At the meeting of the State Bap-
fist Convention which will be held in
Abbeville December 8 to s, plans will
be perfected for the establishment Of
a hospital under the auspices If that
denomination. The establishment of
such an institution will prove of in
estimable benefit to the community
so fortunate as to be chosen -as the
point of location.
There are many reasons why the
selection of Abbeville should ap-
peal to the Baptists rs a~:splendid
place i'm which to locate this hospital,
but while many of these reasons are
as patent as they are cogent there are
others which could be: presented to
the representatives of the depomina:
ton while in session here, and some
steps should be taken to accomplish
this result in a creditable manner.
One reason that SHOULD appeal for
the selection of 'Abbeville is that
such an institution, while receiving
the bulk Of its support from the en-
tire State, must of necessity depend
10 some extent upon the local sup
port. There is not in Abbeville at
present u single institution of any
character whatever to divide what
ever support the community could
afford.
Besides, there is not in easy reach
of the people of this section of South
Carolina a hospital of the size and
character of the institution which
the Baptists can aud will establish.
Promoters of this laudable enterprise
have a well. founded hope that this
institution will, at no distant day, be.
more than Statewide in It's scope,
and the city in which the hospital is
located will be- benefited in many
ways.
Other towns and cities Of South
Carolina, aware of the benefits Incl
dent to the establishment of such m
institution in their midst, are going
to make decided efforts to secure this
hospital. While bbeville has SPLEEN
did prospects Of securing this prize, it
is not going to be located here with
out an effort on the part Of our peo-
pie.
The time has arrived for concerted
action on the part of the community
There remain only about six weeks
until the Baptists meet, and any
proposition that Abbeville may have.
to make should be put. in'some def
mite concrete shape before that time.
Let us put our best foot foremost
and do it now. "
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1912-10-09

we understand it, it is the purpose to
remove the institution
from its present site to the place Sc
lected in the country.
The issuance of the proposed bonds
should furnish an amount ample for
making every provision for the COM
fort of the poor unfOrtunates, to
whom the State owes the best care
that she is able to provide.
Just how much the property on
which the Hospital plant is now To-
Gated could be made to bring we are
unable to say, but with judicious
handling it should go a long ways
towards the liquidation of the in
creased debt which it is proposed to
incur for the Hospital.

SOME AMENDMENTS.

go
At the coming general election
there are three amendments to the
Constitution to be voted upon, bu1
they are purely local in,their appliea'
ton. The following are the titles 81
the resolutions pertaining to these
amendments: .
"A Joint Resolution to Amend
Section 7, Article VIII of the Con.
stitution, Relating to Municipal
Bonded Indebtedness, by Adding a
Proviso Thereto as to the Town OF
Bishopville."
"A Joint Resolution Proposing an
Amendment to Article x of the Con.
stitution, by Adding Thereto Section
l4a, to Empower the Cities of Charles
ton and Beaufort to Assess Auditing
Property for: Permanent Improve.
ments." f:E
"a Joint Resolution Proposing an
Amendment to Article X of the Con.
stitution, by Adding Thereto Section
Is, to Empower the Towns of Calf:
ney and Woodruff and Cities Of Ches'
ter and Georgetown to Assess Adult.
ting Property for Permanent I'm.
provement."
Just how the people of the entire
State are to decide intelligently on
these questions we do not know I'M
less they take it for granted that the
representatives in the general assem-
blp of the communities affected
would not have sanctioned the pas
sage of these resolutions unless such
action was endorsed by their constit,
uents. This is the generally accepted
view of such matters, but it does
seem that some provision might BIZ
made for the settlement of such ques.
tions solely by the votes of those
communities Immediately concerned
because there might arise q case n
some time in which, through lack d
proper information, the voters In thu
State at large might defeat the will o.
some particular community.
