The Skin and Not the Blood.

Until recently it has been gener-
ally accented theory that eczema was
a disease of the blood. Scientific in
vestigations have taught us that
eczema is positively skin disease
and durable through the skin alone.
Meritol Eczema Remedy is applied
directly to the diseased skin. Do not

RYAN WILL SUPPORT

THE CURRENCY PLAN
New York Financier Praises
Wilson and His Efforts for
Monetary Reform.

| New York; Jan. 12.-Thomas F. Ryan,
appearing in the financial district in a
snow storm todaw for the first time in sew
eral months. announced that the National
Bank Of Commerce, Of which he Is a stock
holder, will join the federal reserve organ
iZation.
II hope all the other national banks will
do the same,p he added. "The whole coun-
try is proud Of Wilson for the mastery
way in which he handled the most difficult
situation and got results. Iconsider it the
geratest achievement of any president
since Lincoln.
1T would be unfair to him and unpat-
riotic generally to withhold the most
hearty support of the 5reat measure he
has evolved and made a fact. He Is a
great man and a great president and the
greatest thing about him Is that he plays
no favorites."
MI. Ryan is 63 years old and rarely

THE HAZARD OF RAILROAD
SERVICE.

Service on the railroad is peculiar
ly hazardous. The man who lies in
his easy Pullman berth scarcely
realizes how entirely his life is in
the hands of the man who pulls the
throttle. Railroad men are well paid,
but when the extra hazard under
taken by the employee is considered
the pay is not more than commensu-
rate. History and story are full OF
the deeds of the soldier beginning
with the dawn Of time, while the
dangers and hardships undergone by
the RAILROAD man are passed over as
unimportant.
In conversation with a gentleman
who has lived in Abbeville since
wears before the Seaboard road was
built, and who was for a number of
years an employee of the road, know
ing all the young men who have en-
gagged to work on the road, it was
learned that about twenty-five young
white men, citizens of Abbeville city
and county, have at one time or an
other been engaged in the shops or
on trains, and of these seven, or
twenty-eight per cent. have been
killed. Abbeville city and county
are taken for the reason that greater
accuracy is obtainable.
The road has been of great value to
the town and county, and the people
of Abbeville are fuIly;appreciative of
this fact but service on the road has
brought sorrow to many homes.

CONGRESS RESUMES
HERCULEAN LABORS
Antitrust Plans Looming Up
Large.

LlrS6 .
Washington, Jan. 1~2.-Congress settled
down to its long regular session today, al
ter q recess dating from the passage Of
the currency reform bill just before Christ
mas. The coming administration anti
trust legislation programme loomed up as
the big business Of the winter; but with
the prospect of waiting until next week fol
the presidents message, both houses turn
ed actively to other matters.
In the house return to work was cele-
brated by prompt passage OF the first OF
the annual supply measures, the District
of Columbia appropriation bill, and the in
PRODUCTION OF the usual opening. day batch
Of miscellaneous measures. The senat''
began debate on the Alaskan government
railroad bill.
Antitrust experts in both houses began
a period Of extraordinary activity to end
when the antitrust programme Is written
into law before the close Of the session.
Actual committee work will be delayed
pending President Wilson's address. A
rough draft of the address will be brought
to Washington by the president and later
in the week Chairman Clayton Of the house
judiciary committee and Chairman New
lands OF the senate commerce committee
probably will be called into conference
with the president and Attorney General
McReynolds.
Meantime Chairman Clayton and Repre-
sentatives Carlin and Floyd Of the house
committee are reviewing the long list Of
antitrust measures already before the
committee. It is not probable that any Of
these bills will be accepted as a part Of the
administration plan, but all the ideas en-
bodied in them will be considered. Sena-
tor Newlands of the senate commerce
committee expects to take up the anti
trust programme Friday.

eth Cincinnati Whiskey Ring.

Editor Press d Banner:
Last week 1 wrote a letter that was pub
lished in the Medium which from the var
led comments l heard upon it seems to be
very much misunderstood. The editor of
the Medium also took occasion to make a
remark with which I wish to register my
agreement.
I made the statement that the "Cincin-
natti Whiskey Ring" would spend some
money next summer to elect their tool
governor of this State. at this point the
Medium said ."ed note. A great many
people believe the ring" has spent money
here already. With that I wish to agree,
and give it as my opinion that that state
ment Is sufficient explanation Of the source
Of the extraor dinarily large campaign
fund that was placed at Judge Jones dis
posal and the reason his manager could
buy so much newspaper space, editorial
write-ups and hire 80 many lawyers to aid
In spanking against Blease throughout the
State.
But to get back. I am not a prohibi'
ZIONIST in any sense. I do not wish to con-
vey that impression. I play no double
role. But I am opposed to the carrier
companies brining in this Internal poison
under the guise Of whiskey. I believe in
the legitimate sale Of all alcoholic bevera-
ges under proper police regulations that
after chemical analysis shows a degree OF
purity that Is up to the bests standard in
use. I am also opposed to this whiskey
trust meddling in Dur affairs, and backing
a man for governor who will be their sub
servient tool;
That is the point I called to the atten-
tion Of the meeting to be held today. As
expected they did nothing, thus maintain
ing the we'll earned reputation Of prohibi-
tionsts.
"The King Of France with twenty
thousan men: marched up the hill: then
marched down again: They met, talked
and adjourned: nothing doing. In the
meantime the "whiskey trust" is silently
preparing tospend it's $4,000 campaign
fund and reap the harvest Of monopoly in
this fallow field. W. P. Beard.

RURAL ROUTE ORDERED ON

After much work and frequent
communications between the people
in and near Calhoun Falls and Con-
gresham Aiken, the rural route out
from Calhoun Falls has been ordered
on effective March first. This will
necessitate some readjustment of
Lowndesville and Mt. Carmel routes.

RICHARD JR.,
DEAD.

The death of Richard Sondley, Jr.,
the details of which have already
been printed, was a great shock to
this community. Sympathy for the
bereaved family is felt in every
household and the deepest feeling of
sorrow is brought to hundreds of
hearts.
Bright, genial, full of the energy of
youth, he had just left his mothers
side in the paternal home, to take up
his post of duty on the road, where
in a moment, the spark of life was
crushed out of him.
No young man in Abbeville was
more tenderly loved at home or more
cordially esteemed by his associates
than Richard Sondley, and as a testi-
monial of that esteem, almost the en-
tire white population of the city
were present at the last sad rites, and
loving hands literally heaped upon
his last resting place earth's purest
and sweetest tokens of love and SYM
pathy.
In the Holy Book the brevity and
uncertainty of mans life is compared
to a flower: SIN the morning it
iourisheth, in the evening it is cut
down and withereth." And every
flower must wither and die it may
be by the gradual process of time and
the maturing elements, or it may be
by being cut fresh from the garden,
in the very glow of beauty and fresh
ness.
The longest life is short in the
scales of eternity, whether man lin
gers, 1.-the last leaf on the tree" or is
cut down in the morning of life.
Whether man is taken from his
loved ones or his loved ones are
taken from him the severance of
earthly ties comes all too soon in ev-
cry family. We: linger but a little
while on the shore of; time and then
our signs and tears are hushed in the
waves of eternity.

HOUSTON'S WORD
TO HAVE WEIGHT
Secetary of Agriculture No Mere
Cipher.
HAS URRENCY VIEWS
HAS VIEWS
Having Taken Part in Framing
the Bill, He Will Be CONSUL
tod in Naming BOARD.

tGQ III Naming hOdTN
Washington, Jan, 12.-It became known
tonight that serious consideration will he
given secretary Housto Of the department
of agriculture in choosing members Of the
new federal reserve board. Mr.. Houston
took an active interest in the framing Of
the currency act, and with Secetary McAdoo
makes I'D the reserve bank organization
comittee, which will launch reserve banks
and select reserve districts and cities. He
has been talked Of among bankers as a
probable member Of the reserve board,
and members Of congress interested say
they would not be surprised to see Presi-
dent Wilson name him.
Among other prominent men mentioned
in Washington for places on the board are:
Paul NJ. Warburg Of Kuhn, Loeb d Co.,
New York; James &. Cannon Of the fourth
National bank Of New York, and George NJ.
Reynolds of the Continental and CONNER
cial National bank Of Chicago.
With the return ofthe president tomor-
row it is expected that final decision will
be made on the appointment Of a control
Ter of the currency, who is ex-officio a
member of the reserve board.
1t was regarded more probable than ever
today that the president would nominate
John SkeletonWilllams assistant secretary
Of the treasury. Among Secretaries
McAdoo's callers today were several men,
beers of the senate finance com mittee, and
it was reported that Mr.. McAdoo is desir-
Gus o inding out just how Democrats on
that committee look on Mr.. Williams.
Secretaries McAdoo and Houston will
hold their first public hearing here We'd
nesday, devoting three days to work, and
leave for the west Saturday.
