In all that has made for the growth and
upbuilding Of Abbeville Mr.. McDnl has
been an enthusiastic advocate. He was
one Of the committee wdo secured sub
scriptionsto tie Abbeville Cotton Mill, and
he attended all public meetings looking to
civic growth.
. Mr.. McDil was married to Miss Jennie
DELPHI, stepdaughter Of Judge j. Fuller

boys and two girls survive him. The eld-

Moving StalrWays.

The advantages Of moving stair
ways include the following: (a) There
Is no waiting. (b) The service Is con.
tinuous throughout traffic hours.
(c) Passengers are carried practically
to the point Of their destination, and
the necessity for long connecting pas
sageways Is thus avoided. (d) Nov
ing stairways can deliver the same
number Of people for a short or long
rise, whereas with lifts the capacity
Is dependent on the number Of lifts
and the depths Of the shafts. (e) In
case Of breakdown passengers can
walk up q moving stairway as up an
ordinary staircase.

Edna Bradley's Letter.

The follow letter is published just asst
was written by Edna Bradley aged about
eleven years, to an imaginary friend in
Florida. Her teachers required similar
letters OF all her classmates.
Abbeviile, s. c., March 70, 1912.
Dear Dolores
As you are 30 far off I will write to you
In time for this letter to reach you on the
Fourth Of July. AS you know down South
we do not celebrate the Fourth as much as
Northern people do, but we are going 10
be in Washington on the Fourth and q n
you to be with US while we are there. Inc
reasen we celebrate the Fourth Is because
the Declaration Of Independence was sigh
ed on July 4, 1776. Since that time we
celebrated the Fourth. On July Fourth 4,
1875 there was a Centennial exposition at
Philadelphia because it was a hundred
years after the signing OF the Declaratlon.
That was long before Cuba was Indepen-
dent from Spain. Thomas Jegerson was
called the "Pen of the Revolution" be-
cause he wrote most Of 1t. The Declara-
ton was declaring ourselves Independent
from the rulers Of England. AS you know
we fought a long and bloody war before
we were free. AS Cuba did with Spain.
Only that wal did not last hs long. we
had France to aid US and it was mostly
through Benjamin Fradklin's influence.
CT course II France had not helped US we
probably would still be ruled by England.
In the same way the United States helped
Cuba. AS I have said the South does not
celebrate the Fourth, but up North 1t Is
almost like Christmas. They have IRE
works, banquets, and the children have
holidays and celebrate the Fourth with
the greatest pleasure. Write me a long
letter soon. Your friend
Edna T. Bradley.

Underwood in the Running.

It seems, after all. that Chairman Un-
derwood, southerner though he be, Ia in
the running for the presidency Unques-
tionably the southern vote will control the
nomination and It seems that Underwood
will be backed by q good slice Of that vote.
And this Ia not all. Wherever primaries
have been held In northern and western
States Underwood Is recognised as q fac-
tor.
In the qualities that go to make . wise,
just and conservative president, Under
wood has no superior In the democratic
party. BE is even tempered, thoughtful,
logical and above all things possessed Of a
long record In national politics that Is alb
solutely unstained. While haafs anything
but radical, all OF his acts as democratic
leader have been to try to carry out the
spirit Of the democratic platform; and I'M
questionably the present strength Of the
party Is due, In large measure. to his lead
ership.
Underwood has the fullest confidence,
In fact, the warmest esteem Of his collea-
CUES in Congress. It Is safe to say that
he is stronger with them, as a whole, than
Is any other presidential candidate, and
his strength with his colleagues Is not
limited to the south. He Is, we believe,
the choice Of q majority Of the members Of
the lower house. What influence mem
bers Of Congress have on presidential cleo
lions Is more or less uncertain. But 1t
was the agitation by candidates for Con-
gress, that gave the country q democratic
house, and 1t would seem that their hearty
support Of q candidate for president would
have a telling effect.
While we believe that II Harmon can be
nominated, his chance OF election would be
better than that Of any democrat now
Offering. with the split that southern can
d.dates will make In the convention, and
with Mr.. Bryan's open opposition, he Is
likely to be beaten In the dominating con-
vention. Where may we look for another
in the north, who has greater strength
with the northern vote than Underwood
has? Then II not Harmon, why not Un-
derwood?
There has not been a time since the war
that the people Of this country were 30
clearly divided on questions Of public
policy, regardless Of party lines, as at the
present time. The progressive sentiment
of both parties seems to be in the ascen-
dent, and the candidate whose views are
nearest in accord with that sentiment will
get that vote, almost regardless Of party.
Underwood's work on the floor Of the
house has placed him in the front rank OF
reformers, and yet his every step has been
SO muthodical, SO well digested and 80
reasonable that he has disarmed and nom
plused the republicans.
It may be that the time Is not yet ripe
to elect a southern man to thetpresidency,
but we are coming to believe that the
country will put a nan In who will initiate

The Same Standard for All.

The Newberry Observer Is quite right In
believing that the same standards should
govern preacher and people. There can
be no possible justification for a preacher
In doing those things which an upright
layman could not do. Even though a man
be q preacher, he should be a gentleman
whose standard should be as high as the

The achange of life is a most
critical period in a womans ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion Of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense Of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, baclaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation Of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, yari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves ara
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
