TAFT FAVORS REPEAL
OF FREC|PROC|TYLAW
President Thinks Canada's Re-
fusal to Accept Is Ground
for Action.

WASHINGTON. July 23.-President
Taft has indicated to several western
senators who were active opponents of
Canadian reciprocity that he would fa-
vor the repeal Of the act.
Some Of those with whom the presi-
dent has talked think he may send a
message to congress on the subject or
will state his position in his speech OF
acceptance when a committee of the
Chicago convention notifies him on Au-
gust of his nomination. Seuate lead
ers say that so far the president has
had no direct communication with the
finance committee saying he favors re-
peal
Mr. Taft will not withdraw his own
support of Canadian reciprocity as a
principle, it is understood. but will take
the position that the United States
should not continue an offer that Can.
ada refuses to accept The reciprocity
law continues in effect in the United
States notwithstanding Canada's IS re-.
fusal to ludorse it.
Senators McCumbeY. Hepburn,
Cronna and others have urged repeal
and an amendment was put on the steel
tariff bill recently passed by congress
and now IN conference, providing for
such action.
1t is asserted among western sena-
tors that il any tariff measure is
passed in the senate this wedk an amend
ment also will be incorporated for the
repeal Of the reciprocity law. In case
any Of these bills reaches the president
and is vetoed, 1t Is expected he will
make clear in his veto message the fact
that he would approve measure to re-
peal the reciprocity law.

Affects Wood Pulp.

One effect Of the repeal Of the recipro-
city agreement as a whole would be to
restore wood pulp and paper 10 the dutl-
able list. Those products now enter from
Canada free under the only operative
clause of the agreement.
The United States government began an
investigation today to determine whether
the right OF free entry should be ex-
tended TO wood pulp and paper made from
certain crown lands wood In British Co
lumbla. on which that province recently
removed the restrictions on eSporta ton.
Ordinarily this action would abolish the
duties. Secretary Knox will make the
Investigation. AS ths restrictions are re-
moved on the part OF the crown lands
in British Columbia, Secretary MncVeagh
will be called upon to decide whether they
constitute a subdivision Of territory which
can be recognized under the law, or
whether restrictions must be abrogated
on all the crown lands In the province
to give free entry TO the products OF any.
The question involves much wood pulp

Look Out Fishes.

The SEEMING squad Is about to get busy.
Last week a new sein and new gill nets
were rugged up preparatory to plscatorial
adventures galore in the ear future.
Long Cane and Little River are proposed
points of attack. Last summer Sheriff
Lyon introduced a new fishing sport which
for a better name, we will call fish bat
Ting. The Sheriff and others found ponds
Of unnumbered, unhonoredS and unsung
carp over on Savannah which they har-
vested with sticks instead Of seines.
Abbeville's seining squad is made up Of
artists in that line. They can catch more
fish out of Little River In an hour than a
rice paddle Afric can catch out of the Pee
Dee In a day. They don't need seins, they
catch them with their hands. This may
sound astonishing, but we can prove 1t.
The ordinary individual Is careful Of where
he puts his hands under muddy creek wa
ter, not 80 with Abbeville's fishing squad,
q water moccasin inspires no fears and
creates no interest to them.
They are at home in the water, sons of
Neptune, all. Should you wish to really
enjoy an outing Of a day get into the good
graces Of the fishing squad and take q
trip with them to the river. If you don't
feel more cheerful after your trip take the
next train to the nearest hospital and re-
port to the inferno that you are suffering
with something, but that it has not been
nemed-tell him to make room. Won want
to spend a year.

The New S. A. L. Depot.

The new depot Of the Seaboard at Able
vile has been finished and Is in commits
sion. The building Is pretty, attractive,
with all necessary conveniences, we'll
heated and ventilated. AS it stands it is
an ornament to the city. In a way IL Is
the property Of the city and county. 1t is
put there for our convenience and for the
convenience Of those who travel this way
II the public generally considered the
depots as their W rather than belonging
to a great corporation there would proba-
bly, be less abuse Of such property. A
depot should be well kept, clean, sanitary,
pleasant In every way to those who travel,
and those who have to do with the up
keep Of such buildings should have the
backing and encouragement Of the author
tiles and Of the public generally.
In almost every community there are
vanda's. There are individuals who seem
to take a delight in tearing down rather
than in building-at no place is the work OF
such persons more in evidence than
around public buildings and in a depot
which is not policed.
There should be some way to punish
wiIlful, malignant vandalism. When peo-
pie refuse to do right they should be made
to do right. Abuse to public buildings
should be made a misdemeanor and those
guilty Of such an offense should be made
to suffer the consequences.
Abbeville has two good depots now and
railway authorities should receive the en-
couragement and aid Of the public In
keeping them so.

The Republican Nominee.

Two weeks ago it seemed certain that
Taft would have the Republican nomina-
ton. Roosevelt lost Ne" York, his own
state, though ne claims that the delegates
are uninstructed. Since then Roosevelt
has carried Pennsylvania and Illinois, two
very strong Republican states.
1t is said that the committee that will
seat or unseat the delegations from the
several states favor Taft, no having about
thirty-eight out Of about fo%rty-four. The
probability then Is that Taft delegations
from the South will be seated, unless
Roosevelt shows overwhelming strength
In the northern states.
From q Democratic standpoint the NOM
iuation Of Taft is desirable. Taft has
shown himself hostile to tariff reform,
while Roosevelt, contrary to his past con.
duct, has declared for radical tariff re-
form. He has swallowed every demand of
the progressive wing Of the Republican
party. His disregard Of fixed principles
assures the progressives that he will not
hesitate to "abOut face" on the tariff, and
become a reformer of the reformers.
Should he secure the nomination, then he
will certainly prove a dangerous opponent.
or course everybody knows that what
ever strength progressive Republicanism
has in the nation is due TO the work OF
Senator LaFolIette. but the Republicans
have no qualms Of conscience in sacriic-
ing LaFollette for what they conceive to
be a more popular candidate.
Whoever the Republicans may nominate,
since Harmon's chances seem doubtful, it
would seem the part Of wisdom for the
Democrats to nominate Underwood. He,
more than any other man, is identified
with a and equitable tariff reforms.
The sentiment of the nation is divided
now, not so much on local sentiment as on
honest tariff reforms. and Underwood is
well In the limelight. Our motto should
be Harmon, If possible, and if not Hal
mon then Underwood.

Raining Rocks.

We print in this issue OF the Press and
Brnner, a thoroughly trustworthy state
ment from Mr.. j. NJ. Craft, who has rela.
tives in this county, to the effect that a
shower OF stones fell on his plantation, in
Ebert county, Ca, near the Savannah
River.
While this is an unusual phenomenon, 1t
Is not at all unnatural. Many persons liv-
ing have witnessed at night what Is COM
monty known al meteoric showers. Seen
at night, they seem to be so many small
stars falling on the earth. The stones are
heated by friction with the air. in their de-
scent to the earth, which gives them a
glow when seen at night.
Meteoric stores are fragmentary par
ticles thrown off from ONE planet. They
assume an orbit Of their own, and float
around in space until they come near
enoughtosome largerbody like the earth,
Jupiter, or Mars, when they are attracted
by gravity to the larger body. This was
the case in the shower Of stones in Elber
county Georgia. The fragmentary stones
came near enough to the earth's orbit to
be attracted by gravity and they were
drawn to the earth.
In the PLANETARY system, there Is a dis
integrated planet. and the fragments have
a regular orbit about the III just as Mer-
curry, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus etc.
For many centuries astronomers calcu-
lated that to complete the PLANETARY system
there should he an undiscovered planet
within a certain area Of the heavens, but
no telescope could reveal the planet. FL
nally, in the last century, when more pow
erful telescopes were discovered an as
tronomer possibly in Germany, discovered
a large!fragment Of a planet in the very
area that astronomers had calculated they
should find 1t. The fact was reported and
then astronomers in California discovered
other large fragments, and from time to
time these were discovered in such num-
Der as to account hfor the missing planet.
These planets are known as asteroins, and
they have a regular orbit about the sun
just as the other planets have.
The missing planet or asteroids were
discovered between the planets Mars and
Jupiter.
Who knows but that the fate of that
planet will one day be the fate of the
the world, and that the destruction
Of the earth by fire as predicted in the
good book will be literally fulfilled. There
is wisdom in the Bible that the finite mind
cannot comprehend.

Big Fruit Crop.

Unless something unforeseen happens
Abbeville county will have enough fruit to
do the State II it Is all taken care of.
Those who have fruit should inaugurate
now some plan to ave 1t and turn it into
money. We are most prodigal people
with our resources OF any people i the
world. Year before last enough fruit
rotted in this county to do the county's
people for two years. 1t looks as If the
same thing will happen again this year.
We pay M attention to our fruit crop
II it makes all right, If it doesn't all right.
We never spray or do any thing to take

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 CT 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 a moving stairway as up an
