CLASH OF INTELLECTS TO
 MARK COMING CAMPAIGN

ing. They pointed out that Mir faft made many trips throughout the east in the battle for convention delegates with Colonel Roosevelt and that his ap- pearance resulted in one of the most spectacular, personal and bitter cam paigns in political history, during which the two candidates followed each other through state after state.
 Nothing is further from their thoughts than similar campaign, but Mir Wilson will almost certainly be asked to con- tribute by some active participation to offset any advantage the republicans may gain from the speeches of a man who has been governor of a most poten- tial state and justice of the supreme court.

Might rule the fountain of the newborn mind"
 Silence often stirs the soul more thar words The picture spoke deeply into the thoughts of crowd. It stated pain. full facts, and around could be seen tears falling amid the audience It spoke of a serious truth, the worlds growing calam- ity.
 Conscience needs an awakening, lee tures love nor doctors can eliminate the evil caused and effects must be proven to the eye. That lesson Sunday after noon at the Majestic theatre was carried to thousands of homes. There may not have been a word, or criticism spoken. The subject is delicate one. but the impression is indescrible. False modesty has interfered with many valuable lessons to oar youth; ignorance Of natures laws has abstracted truth, and the desire to shirk life's natural bur deris has wrecked many homes. This story of the childless father portrayed the man, strong in his life for home, pro-
 tecting the fraility of the woman He gave her credit in his broadness for love and soul, until facts killed that sublime confidence and he madly pondered over the happiness that might have been. Poor dejected, regretful possible mother! Her sufferingS were too intense for utterance, her guilt too deep to acmit.
 There is moral, 1t cannot fail to reach it's purpose-a message to womanhood- an appeal to motherhood.
 "Oh, woman, perfect woman. what de struction was meant to mankind when thou first was made a devil!'
 The world raises it's volce in praise tc, the mothers of the lanc and it weeps
 when she has not the glorious privilege of motherhood
 No woman ever felt the iov of true mother love would ever throw away the happiness she has known; would ever give back to God the frail flesh of her flesh willingly and remain entirely human.
 "A lady with a lamp shall stand
 In the great history of the land.
 A noble type of good
 Heroic womanhood.

MEETING IS POSTPONED

Montgomery, June 12-(Special )-Be- cause of the flag and preparedness day celebration to be held here next Wednes- day afternoon, the meeting of the Jack son highway promoters. scheduled to be held at Selma on that day, has been postponed until the following day. The Selma meeting has been called for the purpose of considering what action shall be taken with reference to the building Of bridge over the TOmbigbee river at Jackson. All arrangements had been made for the building of the bridge, but the government requirements, it is feared, cannot be met without the ex- penditure of a considerable sum of money, 1 a great deal more than it had been planned to spend on the structure. The awarding of the Jackson highway | to Alabama depends, it is understood, up- | or the building of bridge over the Tombigbee, inasmuch as the highway off, ficials have issued an ultimatum to the effect that only two ferries shall be op- erated along the rOute one of these fer l ries will be over the Tennessee river, l and the other near the southern terminal of the road.
 At the meeting in Selma, promoters | means of handling the situation at Jack son. It is possible that an effort will be made to induce the government to lessen | the restrictions imposed for the building 1 of bridge across the Tombigbee. | Engineer w. s. Keller will attend the meeting and confer with those present | as to the best methods to be adopted.

FRANK c. ROBINSON.

And now that Mccormick county
is reality, we rise again to nominate
Frank C. Robinson for the state
senate. His father was one of the
best and most patriotic men who ever
lived in Abbeville county. He lived
among the people of the new county,
counseled them always for their
good and the good of the state, he
settled their differences when they
arose and he settled them always as
man settles things, according to
his views of the right. He has given
to Mccormick county a son who emu
lates the example set by his dis
tinguished father. He has ability,
he has the training to make good
senator, and above all he has no per-
sonal ends to serve. He legislates
only for the state and for his peo-
pie who are part of it. We hope
that the people of the new county
will do the right thing and name him
as the first senator from the county.

to make g. first class
thorofare is now offered to the
people interested in the road and its
maintenance.
The people of Abbeville and the
people of Due West should join with
the people along this road in giving
it a thorough "sand and clay course"
during the summer. Those who
wish to work or give teams should
be willing to give them for a week in
August, and those who can do nei-
ther should subscribe money with
which to hire necessary labor to as
sist with the work. We can make
a road of which everybody will be
proud if we will get down to business.
We have nominated DR.. Carwile to
take charge of the work of getting
US this movement, but he has not
yet signifed his intention to accept
the office. We, therefore, urge up
on him the duty of taking up the
matter, if he can see his way clear
to do so, because we know that the
people have confidence in his leader
ship in these matters, and that they
will be glad to follow him.
There is another reason why this
should be a first class road. The
people in Augusta and other points
in South Georgia like to go to the
mountains in motor cars. There is
a fine road on the Georgia side from
Augusta to Chamberlain's Ferry.
From there to the Abbeville county
line (the new ine) the road is good.
We can improve it towards the city.
There is good road from Due West
to Donalds and from there to Green
vile. This is the most direct route
for these tourists to take and it will
put Abbeville on themap if we can
have a first class road the whole way.
For these reasons the people of
the city of Abbeville should interest
themselves in making these roads
super-highways, and when this has
been accomplished the city council
should advertise the route in the Au-
gusta and Savannah papers and in
other ways, which will induce peo-
pie to come here. Unless we find
ourselves nobody else will find us.
We have slept long enough. Let
US awaken from the slumber.

D. w. HIOTT, JR.

Mr.. D. W. Hiott,, who has been
with this paper for the past several
months as manager in the mechani-
cal department, leaves US this week
to return to his home in ;Pickens. He
has acquired an interest in paper
in his home town and will settle
there.
We wish at this time and in this
way to, make acknowledgment of
his worth not only as the manager
of this office, but on account of the
great interest he has shown in the
business of his employers, and for
the help he has given the editor.
Without that we would many times
have been lost in the perplexities
which have confronted us.
Under his management the Office
has been systematized, and the STAN
dard of the work greatly improved.
We have been able to offer and have
offered the public as good work as
can be done in any country printing
office, and better work than that
which comes from many cities.
Mr.. Hiott will succeed in his new
venture because he has ability and
character and because he knows the
business and is not afraid to do the
work. We shall watch his career
with interest.
He will be succeeded in this office
by Mr.. W. w. Matthews, for time
with the Greenville News, but lately
with the Herald and News, of New
berry. Mr.. Matthews brings with
him plenty of experience, and we
believe that he will be able to fill the
vacancy made by Mr.. Hiott's de-
parture most acceptably. He will
call on the patrons of this office
from time to time. We ask for him
the kindly consideration which has
heretofore been extended to the
other representatives of the office.

SITE NEAR ASHEVILLE FOR
TUBERCULOSIS SANITORIUM

New Orleans, April 14.-A gift
to the Southern Sociological congress
of 700 acres of land near Asheville,
N. c., to be used as the location of a
proposed large tuberculosis SANTA
rum for the South, was announced
by officials of the congress in session
here today.
The gift was made by Mrs. D. B.
Stafford, a wealthy widow of Hot
Springs, N. C. She also gave $40, 1000
in cash as the neuclus of a fund to
be raised to erect the buildings.
With the announcement of the gift,
J E McCulloch, general secretary of
the congress stated that 100000 al
ready has been pledged by an unnam-
ed person for the operation of the
sanitarium after money for the build
ings has been obtained. The sociolog-
ical congress, officials said, will make
the raising of 100000 for the pro-
ject part of the health campaign, con-
templated by the organization.
The congress also purposes trying
to induce the several Southern States
to appropriate funds for the erection
of State buildings on the sanitarium
grounds where, tubercular patients
from the several commonwealth
may be sent for treatment.
The present penal system of the
country was branded as a survival
from the barbaric past by DR.. W. H.
Oates, State prison inspector of Ala
bama, at the government and health
conference.
He declared the fee system in coun-
ties was "deplorable, pernicious and
unwittingly criminal"
