ONE WAY TO COOPERATE

mis- Linda Clement in Progressive Farmer.)
Generally speaking, the different phases of club work practical
in a small town are very limited. And yet these few available depart
ments, when one stops to think, are a great deal more difficult to "get
att in the village than in a city.
The civic department., odinarily, is the first attempted. Immediate
ly, through a lecture or the medium of your town paper, you ask your
community to clean up, screen against flies, remove the offending pig
pen, Get, and %straightway you have personally insulted every lady IN
town-you have insinuated that she does not keep her premises clean
The Womans Club in our town solved this "clean uP" n practical
and tactul way. We cleaned up our town premises and had the gar
bage wagon, which we furnished, carry off our own rubbish first thus
setting IN example not only in this but in all other sanitary means OF
keeping the towns health perfect.
Next in importance to the sanitary work we have attempted L
believe no other club in the State has been interested in. Allow me
to make what, at first, may seem a disconnected explanauon' Ouf
siby Is per cent of the countys farmers are landowners. And yet
these are VIGOROUSLY Indifferent as to modern methods OF agriculture.
The State has for several years held conformity here a farmers and "o-
mans inttute. Ten twelve per cent of farmers or attend their depart
ment, and last summer there were about IS farmers wives ano oaugh'
tiers in the womans lecture rooms. Our Womrns Club has taken the
matter up. We have suggested to the manager OF the Farmers Union
that we hold a farmers picnic here on the day of the institute we
have sought to interest. farmers wives by donating a sun OF money 10
be given as prizes for the best cake, bread, etc. We nave ASKED
through the county paper for individual subscriptions that we may give
a larger number of prizes. We expect to carry posters to olHere nt
parts of the county advertising the picnic, and we expect the CO.
operation of the Farmers Union, and we guarantee the State lect urers
a crowd at the coming institute.

Abbeville for a hundred years
has been distinguished for its high
standards along all the lines of &C
tivity and in all the spheres of use
fulness. Abbeville's learned men
have, from the first, stood in the
front rank among the men of the
State, as we'll as among the great
est men of the nation. Whether
in politics or in the learned pur-
suits, Abbeville has stood second
to none. Abbeville's lawyers,
scholars, teachers, and citizenship
has been of the best, whose stand
ards were as high as the highest.
Abbeville's business men, reaching
far back into the dim past, have
held the confidence and esteem OF
all men. Abbeville's merchants
have won for the town that good
name which is rather to be chosen
than great riches. For genera
tons the integrity of merchants in
the town of Abbeville has been
without reproach, while their hon
esty and fair dealing has been the
guiding star that has brought dis
tinction to themselves and profit to
their customers. The fact of their
long standing in the mercantile
world is the strongest testimonial
to their possession of the sterling
qualities that make men of worth
and of character. We would not
attempt to discriminate between
men who stand so high. Their
worth is known of all men who
read the Abbeville newspapers,
and the substantial benefits to be
derived from dealing with the bus
mess men of Abbeville can be at
tested by all men who have dealt
with them. Especially is this true
of those customers who have long
est had business relations with the
merchants and bankers of Able
vile. The most generous accom-
modations are daily extended to
buyers and borrowers.
For a hundred years the city OF
Abbeville, like the people of Able
Vile county, have been distln-
guished for intelligence, learning
and splendid service along all the
lines of activity in high endeavor
and usefulness. The people of the
city and county have lived in har-
mony and good feeling, honoring
each other, and in promoting
strength to their united efforts for

individual and corporate good.
Men of Abbeville county from the
first have nobly stood in the front
rank, among whom no dissension
has existed and between whom no
contention has existed, except that
contention as to who could best
work and best agree for the public
welfare.
Abbeville county is distinguished
for the early establishment OF the
best schools in the State, and it is
the home of the first denomi-
national college in the State, which
religious college was established
some three generations ago, and
whose good work is SO extensive
with the bounds of the common
country.
Learned men from Abbeville
county have lent lustre to the fame
and glory of the best &C :nty in all
these parts of the Sunny South
Astounding with its golden grain
and its heecy staple. In the legis-
lative halls, in the councils of the
nation, at the bar or on the bench,
Abbeville county has always had
places of honor and usefulness
with the peers Of the greatest and
best Of earth's renowned sons.
In business circles Abbeville has
been no less renowned for its
preachers and teachers, its schol-
ars and statesmen, its lawyers and
its high class citizenship. In the
mercantile business men of ability
and integrity have been with us
from the first. Their character fol-
fair dealing and high integrity has
descended from the earlier genera
tons and has been a benediction
alike to rich and poor. Men OF
character and moral worth have
found in our merchants the neces.
sary aid when credit was needed.
And our merchants have found
their truest friends in the men
whom they had wisely aided and
generously helped along the road
to prosperity.1
Abbeville's merchants have not
only gained the confidence of their
customers in every part of the
county, but they have won for
themselves hat good name which
is rather to be chosen than great
riches. For generations the integ.
rity of merchants in the town Of
Abbeville has been proverbial,

of health the county is unsur-
passed.
Our only need is an awakening
to the immense and rich resources
that we possess. When we once
realize what wealth we have only
awaiting development, we will
come into u own, and Abbeville
will take her place in the galaxy Of
counties where she rightly belongs.

BUSINESS MEN OF ABBEVILLE
NOTED FOR FAIR DEALING
For a Century the Integrity Of Our Merchants
Has Been Proverbial and Their Accom-
mediation Has Been Helpful.

while their generous dealings with
customers has been that guiding
star that has brought distinction to
themselves and profit to their Gus
toners. The fact of the long
standing of many firms in the mer'
camille world is the strongest testi-
monial to their possession of the
sterling qualities that are so neces-
sary to make worth and character.
Besides the old and tried firms, we
have many younger firms possess
ing high character, good business
methods and an ambition to be-
come the equals of the best of the
older merchants.
We would not attempt to specify
or discriminate between men who
stand so high and are so ready to
serve the public. They are more
able to present their claims to pub
lie confidence than we are Their
worth is known to all men who
read the Abbeville newspapers,
and the substantial benefits to be
derived from dealing with the bus
mess men of Abbeville can be at
tested by all men who have dealt
with the Abbeville merchants.
This is especially true of the GUS
TONERS who have longest dealt with
the Abbeville merchants and who
know them best.
Abbeville has not only good
merchants, but it has three OF the
best banks in the world. They
are generous and accommodating
and are daily extending to borrow,
ers all sorts OF favors.
In schools, the town of Abbevllle
has a first class high school al
which boys and girls may get e
first class education at the most
reasonable cost.
Abbeville has splendid church
buildings, perhaps the finest to be
found in any town in the up-coun'
try, namely: Methodist, Episco'
pal, Presbyterian, Catholic, Bap'
fist, A. r. Presbyterian.
The people of the town love
their friends and are always glad tc
welcome visitors to the city.
The splendid new court house
and the imposing structure OF the
city hall or theatre are buildings
which contribute to the pride anc
pleasure of all who come to Able
Vile, while answering a public de-
mand.

their interests has endeared him to
his constituency.
Today Abbeville county is hon;
ored by having as head of the
States highest court one of her fell
low citizens, Hon. Eugene B.
Gary, whose just and wise deci-
sions and uprighr character and
lofty ideals are an inspiration and
a benediction to bench and bar.
This county is further honored by
the presence of its fellow-citizen,
Hon. Frank B. Gary, upon the
circuit bench of the State, which
he graces with distinguished court
.esy and impartial justice. Another
citizen of Abbeville who has at
tanned distinction and whose fdel-
Fity to the principles of truth and
honor are answering is the Hon.
Fraser Lyon, Attorney General OF
South Carolina, whose record is
the pride not only of his own coun-
y, but of the entire State. The
office of Comptroller General is
now held by a citizen Of Abbeville
in the person of Hon. A. w. Jones,
who has established for himself a
record of efficiency which is seldom
eq ualled and never surpassed.
To enumerate all of the great
and good men of Abbeville who
have risen to positions of high
honor would be to write a volume.
THE point sought to be- emphasized
is that we are all proud of the rec
ords of our distinguished fellow
citizens :; that it is good for US to
reflect upon the commanding posi-
ton which these men have accord
ed our county in the realm of state
craft, but we want also to occupy
the same commanding position in
the world of commerce and of ag-
ricultnre and of manufacturing,
and we believe that the surest way
to accomplish this laudable pur-
pose is to meet and know each 9TH
er, to discuss the problems which
affect our common concerns and
cooperate along the lines that will
best advance our mutual interests
and assist us in the development
of our unlimited though undevel-
oped resources.
The merchants of Abbeville be-
lieve that they have advantages to
offer to shoppers which are un-
equaled in this section and they
believe that it is perfectly proper
that they should make known these
advantages. They feel sure that
the most effective way in which
they a be of assistance to the
people of their county is to aid
them in bearing the burden of the
increased cost of living by offering
them the merchandise which they
need at the best prices which the
market affords and by extending
them every consideration consist
ent with sound business policy.
Having this end in view, they have
enlisted the cooperation of their
local papers and are presenting
through them in a limited way
some cogent reasons why the coun-
ty seat should be favored with the
business of the county, and they
invite your careful attention to
these announcements, believing
that you will find in them much
that will prove of interest as we'll
as benefit.

AN EASTER PRAYER.

o Thou Sovereign Lord OF
Life and Light, our Risen
Saviour and Helper eVermore,
we bless Thee for the perfect
and precious hope impaired to
sinful humanity through Thy
atoning sacrifice and resurrec-
ton. Supreme above all meas

which brought Thee from the
Throne of God to walk among
men, bearing their burden OF
sin along the Sorrowful Way,
and leading them upward to
the glory OF everlasting life
and JOY in the Fathers home.
Grant at this blessed Easter
tide that all darkened and
troubled hearts may open to
the light Of the great Easter
truth and wake to neWness OF
life in Thee. Perfect in all
Thy children the inspiring
hope of Thy risen life, that
they that are risen indeed With
Thee may seek steadfastly
those things which are above.
Continue in all hearts the
cheer and strength and courage
impaired by the Easter message
and bring all to saving ac-
ceptance Of eternal life through
Christ our LCTC.
