The doctor vis- ited the valley many years ago i when it was a dry waste, in stead of one of the beauty spots of the earth. He also visited Chandler, where there is one of the finest hotels in the state, and other modern up to the min ute mprovements.

THE OR THE
,P~EOPLE-WHICH?

The Democratic platform, adopted
unanimously at Baltimore, distinctly
says that free passage through the.
Panama canal shall not be granted toI
ships owned or controlled by trans
continental railroads.
What was the purpose Of this pro-
vision? It was that these railroads
that have been subsidized by gifts
from the government of millions of
acres of valuable Western lands;
these roads that have been fleeing
the people of the East and South by
exorbitant freight rates might not
neutralizes water. competition with
themselves between the East and the
West. The recent act of Congress OPP
posed by Clark, Underwood and our
own Representatives in the lower
House, indirectly violates this party
pledge. BY laying burdens on our
own ships, operating through our
own canal, built with our own mon
ey, Congress in effect says to the
transcontinental railroads: "You
may continue to rob the people as

THE MEXICAN MUDDLE.

Whether the arrest of United
States marines in Tampico, was real
lily an insult to the United States
flag, or an affront to the rather exag-
|gerated dignity of our army and
navy officers, it is hard to'determine.
Eat any rate it has served as a pre-
text to teach Huerta that there, is a
limit to President Wilson's patience.
It.has served the good purpose,f
thermore, of mobilizing our ships
near the Mexican capital, where, ere
long, a change Of Presidents will
take place whether the United States
takes 8 hand In the fighting or not.
IF the United States recognizes
Villa, cutthroat and all that he is,
the Mexican troubles will be finally
and perhaps speediiysettled at home.
III it'does not recognize Villa, It will
Require all of our ships and some Of
our to force even tolerable con-
Fditions of peace.
It seems pretty certain that the
United States will invade Mexico.
Perhaps nothing more will be done
Fthan to establish a close blockade and
take possession Of Tampico or some
other important port. Just enough
will be done to let Huerta know that
we have taken his impudence as a
stronger and an elder brother bears
with the tolIies of the weaker young
er brother, but even brothers some
times fall out and fight.
We do not believe there Is going to
be a real invasion of Mexico, but if
the United States takes one or more
important ports Huerta Is going to
leavelher in peaceable possession of
them. Some such port in the hands
|af a strong nation might be a very
good place to fee to, when the storm
from the north breaks fully on the
city of Mexico.
Fl Villa takes Mexico, and 'Huertay
fall into his hands, he'would,
be given as little chance as a snake.
|If he surrenders to the United States
he may get at least the semblance of
trial, little as he deserves it.

IF Today Were the Last.

II you knew today would be your last on
this earth, how would you spend it? Not
In drunkenness and revelry, not In wanton
.selfshness certainly. Nor yet In idleness'
sloth and indifference. Not in bitter crit
icism and spiteful effort, surely. Many OF
you would pray, albeit you nave seldom
moved your lips In prayer; many would
be seeking some nelghbor that they have
wronged and try to make reparation !;
many would be trying to disgorge the IL
gotten silver and gold that has been piling
UP through the years. Many would be
speaking the first kind words they have
spoken In the heart of their families for
years. What would you do, kind reader,
II you knew for a certainty that this would
be your last day upon earth? Perhaps II
many of US could face this question and
answer 1t, our few remaining days might
be more worthily spent.-Union Times.

you did in the good old days of Re-
publican graft"
Peoplegenerally may notknow that
(nine-tenths the lemons sold right
here in Abbeville are bought at exor-
|bitant prices from Italy, for no 9th,
ler reason than that railroads charge
a prohfbitive rate for carrying them.
EFor the same reason Western live
stock, and products of the Western
farm are practically shut out from
our markets. In the same way man
ufactured products of the East reach
the Western consumer, taxed by such
high railway rates, as practically to
shut that section out from the East
as a market.
Now, who is to profit by denying
American vessels free passage across
the canal? The answer is easy.
England, the nation that made the
biggest racket about it, wants to sap
ply the West. She made demand
on President Wilson, President Will
son made demand on Congress and
Congress 'tamely surrenders a trade
that rightfully belongs to the manu-
facturer of the Eastern and Southern
parts of the United States to our
English masters. The plain people,
held up by the transcontinental rail-
roads on one side and feeced by Eng
land on the other, havn't even the
consolation that rankest Republican
ism offered them: that they are be-
ing robbed by their own people.
The newspapers that are trying to
find fault with those Democrats in
Congress, for the essential reason
that they were real Democrats rather
than "clay in the hands of the pot
ter" would do both the President
and the party a real service if they
would furnish some real good reason
to condone the Presidents action in
allowing England and the railroads
to profit by excessive freight rates

PERFORMANCE OF THE
CANTATA "QUEEN ESTHER"
ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
NO One WAS KILLED
w. F. Nermillion, of Donalds, Has His
Back Broken.-Was Taken to Co.
lumbia Hospital for Treatment
Several others Slightly Injured.

What came very near being a very
serious accident occurred at Due West
Friday night when the cantata Queen
Esther" was being given. The balcony
in the new auditorium collapsed, and
while a number were injured, Mr.. w.
F. Vermillion, of Donalds, was the
only one seriously injured. His back
was broken 1t is stated. A number of
people from Abbeville went up for the
cantata. The following account taken
from the State of Saturday gives in
detail the account Of the accident:
Due West, April 1.-THE collapse
of the balcony in the new auditorium
of the hall of the Woman's college to-
night prevented the presentation of
the cantata Queen Esther" Just as
the performance started and with the
house full the balcony supports gave
way and several persons sitting under
the balcony were injured. Only W.
F. Vermillion Of Donalds, was Sc
riously hurt, and it is not thought that
he is fatally injured. The Woman's
college girls occupying the balcony es
capped injury. This auditorium is
probably one of the best college au-
ditoriums in the State. and has just
been completed at a cost Of $4,000,
and the accident, which was so nearly
serious, causes much damage.
President R. L. Robinson, of the
Woman's college issued the following
statement:
after a thorough investigation i
find that no college girls were injured
in the unfortunate accident in the
alumnae hall tonight. Forty or more
girls were taking part in the cantata
and were in the, music studies in the
rear of the stage. Only about 80 girls
were in the balcony when the acct
dent occurred. The calmness of the
girls was remarkable"
The following is a list Of those In
W. F. Vermillion, of Donalds,
injured internally, serious.
Miss Rosa Keys, Mr.. Vermillion's
companion, slightly injured.
W. T. Dickson and Ernest Newton,
both Of Yorkville, students at Erskine
college, slightly injured.
Prof. ]. l.. PRESLEY, a member OF
the Erskine College faculty, slightly
injured.
The exercises Of the evening were
Just about to begin when the balcony
fell, the hour being 7:45 p. m.
The balcony hung on chains and the
commonly accepted opinion is that
one of the weak links Of the chain
broke and precipitated its load Of
humanity to the floor below.
Mr.. vermilfion was hurriedly rush
ed to the college infirmary. 1t was
said at midnight that his injuries were
serious but the physicians had not
made a complete enough investigation
to say whether or not he, would re-
cover.
