GENTLEMEN KEEP 1T UP.

Both the State and National cam
paigns in South Carolina have start
ed out orderly for which the people
are grateful.
The State canvass was originally
intended as a means of educating the
people on public issues. In former
campaigns it has descended into a
school of blackguardism and vitu:
peration. In times past the candi,
date has not had time to discuss the
needs of the people for his allotted
time was not sufficient for himato an
swer the alleged ISLANDERS Of his op-
ponents, or to charge those oppo-
nents with those magnifed trifes
that make up, the ordinary. political
speech. If Governor Blease holds to
his resolution not to engage in bitter
ness and Senator Smith and bis other
opponents do likewise; if these men
will offer the people something in
the way of constructive legislation,
instead of a lot of foolish claptrap,
the mere bosh of the political artist,
they will be heard by a grateful peo-

500, 900, 600. 90 SUBSIDY.

The United States Supreme court
has just handed down a decision
holding that the reversion clause con-
tingent on mineral being found on
any of the Western lands granted to
transcontinental railroads, isnull and
void.
This means that seven hundred
million.dollars worth of oil lands in
California and other western states
will be held by the railroads despite
a clause in the grant to the effect that
if any of the granted lands were found
to contain mineral they should re-
vert to the government.
The Supreme Court decided thai
oil is a mineral but that the United
States government has slept over its
rights, in as much as it should have
brought suit in 1901, and the time
has now expired.
And it is these same tranScontl'
mental railroads, already in posses
sion of seven hundred million dollars
of government subsidy that we
would further protect by charging
our coastwise vessels to go through
the canal.

PARTY.

Mrs. Elizabeth Wardlaw, mother
and grandmother and great grand
mother of some hundred or more de-
scendants, and still little over sew
enty years Of age, celebrated hel
birthday at her home yesterday.
This has. grown into a custom
with Mrs. Wardlaw and her family,
having celebrated her birthday by
the annual assembling of her de-
scendants and an annual dinner each
year for several years.
Mrs. Wardlaw's is one of the largest
as well as one of the most influential
families in the county. They all live
in the Bellevue section, and unlike
so many families that have scattered
to the corners of the earth they have
settled in the neighborhood of their
birth, and they have set to work
building up the waste places. AS a
result this is perhaps the best rural
neighborhood of Abbeville county.
The Press and Banner wishes for
Mrs. Wardlaw many happy returns
of the birthday observance and the
continued prosperity of her children
and her children's children.

EXPRESSMAN AS MIDDLE
MAN. 49,. Il

If other express companies follow
the lead of the Adams Express Com
pany, the high cost CT living prob
lem may be partially solved by a
most unexpected agency. .
The Adams Express Company pro-
poses to establish its na;w "Order and
Food-Prednet Bureau, ITO become a
kind of clearing houso for disposing
of excess production of fruits, Der.
ries, butter, eggs, poultry, meats and
in fact of all perishable articles ordi-
narily handled by an express COM
pany. 1t proposes to cut out the
middle man, delivering direct from
consumer to producer without great,
er cost than the ordinary cost of, car,
rage and return charges of the
money paidsfor produce sold through
its agency. The rate on the class Of
merchandise forwhieh the bureau is
designed is % per cent. below the
commercial rate fixed by the Inter:
state Commerce Commission, and is
no higher than parcel post charges.
This move by the Adams Express
Company is for the purpose of meet
ing and forestalling parcel post COM
petition ; and it is,a new field into
, which the government can not fol,
low. 1t will likely result in the ,ex-
press companies in large cities main:
tanning large market houses with
cold storage and all necessary equip
ment for handling perishable prod
ucts. This will eliminate the middle
man or the commission merchant
and to realize what that means, one
needs but compare the price of a
pound OF, butter or a dozen eggs after
it has passed through the hands OF
the middle man to the consumer
with the price paid the producer.
Express companies like all other
giant monopolies can be made t.
serve the people we'll when they are
forced to do so, and the present adj
ministration is forcing them both by
competition and by>regulation. .
If the present administration will
carry out its programme of aiding
the farmer to increase production
and then will bring consumer and
producer closer together, a long step
will have been taken toward reduc-
ing the high; cost Of living.

VILLA AND
SPLIT.

1t is characteristic of Mexican fick-
leness that Villa and Carranza should
fall out just at the time when their
united efforts bid fair to redeem
Mexico from the thralldom of a
landed aristocracy.
Neither Villa nor Cafranza pos
sessed afl the qualities requisite for
presidential timber, but together
they made avery strong team. Villa
possesses the iron hand and the ready
gun and Carranza possesses the edu-
cation and sense of honor that are so
woefully lacking in the former. Di-
vided, neither lisa match for the willy
Huerta. Villa can never have the
confidence of other nations and Car
rama is woefully lacking in aggres-
Mfon.
The natural result of a split in the
ranks of the Constituencies will
be to divide even the two camps into
petty factions, headed by aspiring
politicians and semi-bandits. 1t is
but repeating the fable of the bundle
of sticks.
How much longer the United
States government will watch and
hope tor what seems to be the imposI
sible, is the question generally asked?
1t begins now to look like this gov
ernment~will be forced, even against
its will, to lay a strong hand on the
stricken country. Aside from the
large investment of American capt.
tai in Mexico, that has been destroy
ed or is suffering from lack of opera
ton, the cause of humanity, the
cause of an ignorant and oppressed
peon class who are being used unto
death to further the ambitious
schemes of the educated few is call
ing to this country as to an elder
brother. Surely there is a limit to
Uncle Sans, patience, and that limit
must be very soon.

LEAVELL SHOWS
way TO SALVATION
EVANGELIST SAYS MAN MUST BE-
LiEvE IN JESUS TO HAVE
EVERLASTING LIFE.

Evangelistic services at the First
Baptist church are constantly growing
in interest. The attendance at both
morning and night meetings was large
and many persons were mentioned as
objects of personal solicitation.
At the night service Mr.. Leavell
preached upon christian confidence and
assurance. He read many scriptures
to show that when a man believed in
Jesus he possessed everlasting life.
He affirmed that Christian assurance
was one of the most comforting things
mentioned in the word of God, at the
same time it was one of the most
dangerous.
"There is only one way of saliva
tion," said he, land men are likely to
be assured on false premises. Some
| look to the church for their comfort
some depend on baptism, and some on
/ their own works of righteousness" He
laid down many rules to determine
whether a man was christian OIL
not
'Is a man ready to keep the com
mandments of God? If he refuses tc
obey God he is no Christian, and de
ceives himself. Most of all, If he will
not do right things and live right life
there is no hope for him." He told ol
doctor who would lead the prayer
meeting with great JUNCTION and man,
words who was not a Christian ant
would swear profane language on thu
street. The man was finally led Il
see his lost condition.
