GETS ACTION.

Some weeks ago this paper calleo
attention to the great amount OF
time taken by the Southern Railway
to make the runs from Abbeville to
HODGES and from Hodges to Able
vile. AS the trains then ran, the
schedule called for forty-eight min
utes for each trip. The matter be-
ing thus called to the attention OF
the Southern, it at once gave 1t con-
s;deration. The result is that IN
stead of having three mixed trains
as formerly, we will have in the tu-
tire only one mixed train, and two
MESSENGER trains, the schedules OF
the two latter calling for thirty
minutes for each trip.
This is quite a concession to the
neople of Abbeville. 1t is no more
than the case demanded, but 1t
speaks we'll for the Southern that 1t
has it's ear so close the ground, and
that it is willing to try to furnish
the bubble with better accommoda-
tons where possible.
The Press and Banner also COM
planned that we were given the cast
off equipment of longer lines, and
that we did not get the proper SER
vice in this way. The Southern has
answered this complaint by putting
two new coaches, just out of the
shop, on the Abbeville branch.
1t is not possible to have every
thing we want, but we see no reason
why the Southern should not have
the up-train and the down-train, in
the morning, meet at or near Hodges,
so as to cut down the long wait which
We are forced to make when going
to points in the up-country. IT
schedules will permit it, the Southern
should correct this objection.

Made In America.

From satin to sausage, from rubber
to rouge,
We have always been used to, be-
"Made in Germany" England" or
Belgium" or France"
On everything salable sold,
But since Europe has gone on a
blood drunken spree
And the east is mixed up in the row,
The things that we eat and the things
that we wear
Are made in America now.
From a white cotton gown to a dia-
mond crown,
From hairpins to automobiles,
From embroidery floss to the pickles
and sauce
We relish so much with our meals;
From pans to pianos, from carpets
to cake,
Though all unadorned with a crest,
The "Made in America" label affixed
To anything stamps it the best.
-Minna Irving in Leslie's.

THE ROAD TAX.

The Attorney General of the State
has rendered an opinion to the et-
feet that we have no law authorizing
tie collection of a road taxi as such,
in Abbeville County. Matters IN
this regard on the surface seem to
he in somewhat of a muddle, unless
the Supervisors office intended to
abandon the idea of collecting a
road tax, in lieu of labor upon the
roads, and the legislative delegation
agreed with him.
The Attorney General is right in
the construction of the law. But 1T
mist be noticed that we are not
without a road law; we are only
without a road tax; that is we have
no sum fixed by law as a commuta-
ton tax to be paid in lieu of work
ing the roads.
At the time the present Super
visor went into office, if we remem-
Der correctly, the road law for Abb
heyille county provided for four
tavs labor, giving to persons liable
to road duty the option to pay one
collar in lieu of such labor. 1t will
be noticed that by the law, Sec. 1855
Of the Code of 1902, persons between
certain ages are made liable to road
duty, the law in Abbcville county
being for four days labor.
BY Act of 1910, p. 66S, the legis-
lature provided that in Abbeville
and Richland counties every person
between the ages of IS and so years
shall pay a tax of one dollar. BY
Sec. 2 of this Act it is provided that
all persons who are liable to road
t!utv" shall pay the tax sin lieu Of
performing or causing to be perform
I'd labor upon the public highways"
This Act it will be seen does not re-
PEAL the requirement Of the previous
law that persons between certain
ages are liable to road duty. 1t on
~ provides a tax in lieu of the labor
still required by law.
Dy Act of 1911, p. i81, the last
named act was amended so as to
strike Abbeville county from the
terms of the Act, and leave the Act
applicable alone to Richland county,
hut there is no provision in this act,
either repeating the general law
making certain persons liable to road
duty, nor does the act itself relieve
them from such road duty.
Therefore, we contend that the
General Law is still applicable to Abb
beville county in so far IS the liabili-
ty to road duty is concerned, unless
the Code of 1912 has repealed that
law. We think it has not.
1t is true that by the terms of the
Code certain counties prescribe the
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1915-06-02

then manifestly the law of force in
1902 is still the law. Under it Alb
bevillA County may require four
days labor, but any person liable is
given the option to pay one dollar in
lieu of the labor required,

A level-headed man who travels
South Carolina from the sea to the

Abbeville in that respect. Here
the automobile people want two
prices every time they hire a ma
chine.

Warning of the unexpected com
ing of the seventeen year locust has
been sent out by the United States
Government. The locust are known
as Brood vi of the cicada and they
are expected in the east in May and
June. They are expected to do lit
tie damage to the trees and orchards.
The brood will appear only in the
northern part of the State, around
Pickens. The last appearance of
this brood was in 1898.

Comments b. Carping Critics And
Cutsed Croakers.

|. A gentleman of sound judgment
said a few days ago that the best
paying investment for this town and
county would be to have relocated
and permanently built a frst-class
road from Abbeville to Due West
and Donalds. A good level road
about 40 feet wide and well built
would be worth more than a rail-
road. Think it over and get to
work NCW-don't wait.
A lady of, good taste suggested re-
Gently that the county should clean
up and keep in first class condition
the magnificent courthouse. A
stitch in time saves nine and many
stitches are needed right now. In
several places the plastering needs
repairing; if the roof leaks ii. should
be looked after and made good. New
seats should be put in where some
are broken. The janitor should be
made to keep everything in apple
pie order or a new ~janitor secured.
A discriminating travelling man
who likes to come to Abbeville and
always goes to the moving pictures
urged that the entrance to the splen-
did opera house be kept in better
and more attractive condition. The
corridor is generally dirty and the
unsightly bill boards are an eye-sore.
These bill-boards should be put on
the outside in a good frame and not
on the inside and should be kept
straight and clean. This same gen.
tleman said there is more rough talk
ing and laughing at These movies
generally from the galleries, than
any he had ever attended. Less
noise and more music is what our
opera house needs. While on this
subject it would be we'll to have all
broken seats in the opera house
made new, and without delay.
