DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

Mr.. Patrick Calhoun, and his son,
Mr.. George Calhoun, of San Fran
cisco, CAL, were in the city yesterday
on business connected with the Cal
houn Falls Company, and other mat
ters. 1t would appear from develop
ments in the last few days that
something is in the air with regard
to developing the great water power
on Savannah River. An attorney
believed to be connected with the
Dukes has been in Abbeville for sew
cral days looking into the records of
this county with regard to lands IN
that section. And it is known that
Mr.. Calhoun has been in this section
for several weeks on some important
business.
Mr.. Calhoun is a financier of ma
tional reputation. What he under
takes to do, is generally done. If he
should put his hand to the plow in
this matter the field would be plowed,
and it would mean large measure
Of prosperity for the people of this
county, and especially for those peo-
pie who own lands in the western
section of the county. They would
come into their own in few years.
The friends of Mr.. Calhoun in the
city, and his many kindred were glad
to see him here again enjoying good
health and in the full vigor of his
usefulness.

CANDIDATES AND THE NEWS.
PAPERS.

Greenville News
When Andrew H. Miller of Greer
ran for Congress last summer, the
comment was made that he had proba-
bly, bought and paid for more news
paper advertising space for his campa-
Ign than any congressional candidate
in South Carolina annals. He used
the advertising columns of practically
every unit of the press in this district.
In this he demonstrated that he is a
business man who understands that
publicity is thing which is worth pay
ing for and which should be paid for.
He set the pace that successful candi-
dates must follow in the future. His
vote in many sections where he was
not well-known and where he was
little seen is eloquent of the political
value of paid publicity.
The day has gone when candidate
could, for the asking, get compliment
tary write-ups of himself in newspap-
ers. Now he has to pay for it because
the newspapers are awake to the fact
that there is no difference between
publicity. The newspaper has space
to sell the candidate for legitimate
advertising and he must buy it as he
purchase goods from a merchant. The
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1916-05-03

old practice of throwing in a quarter
of a column of complimentary notice
to the candidate who inserted a card
is also vanishing. AS far as possible
whatever appears in a newspaper in
the interest of any candidate chould
be paid publicity. There is no news
in the reiterated promises of a candi-
date as to what he will do, if elected ;
there is no news in speech twice
delivered.
There is no more reason why a
candidate should get free publicity on
which to travel into Office than there
is why an automobilist should get free
gasoline to travel home on. Political
publicity is no more than the adveer-
tisement of person that he is on the
market, so tospeak, for the peoples
favor. He is a private citizen who
puts in a want ad. for public Office.
No public end is served when candi-
date gets free publicity-he simply
gets something for nothing. A candi-
Late is an advertiser and an advertiser
is a candidate for public favor.

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and You Lose u Days
Work.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when 80 cents buys large bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per-
feet substitute for calomeL.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't t
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and nau-
seated tomorrow. Don't lose a days
work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bilious
mes, constipation, sluggishness, head
ache, coated tongue or sour stomach.
Your druggist says if you don't find
Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than
horrible calomel your money is wait.

CORNER STONE OF GREEN.
VILE COURT HOUSE REMOVED

The contents Of the corner stone
of the old court house in Greenville,
which is being torn away to make
room for the new structure, were re-
moved last Saturday. The contents
were all in a decayed condition with
the exception of one newspaper, the
Southern Patriot, edited by B. F.
Perry, later governor of South Caro-
lima. The paper is dated Sept. II,
1854, and contains the following
poem, parody on Hohenlinder,"
which leads US to believe that the
newspaper business has not changed
much in one respect:
In seasons when our funds are low, =
Subscribers are provokingly slow,
And new supplies keep up the flow
Of dimes, departing rapidly.
But we shall see a sadder sight,
When duns pour in from morn till
night,
Commanding every fourpence bright,
To be looked over speedily.
Our bonds and due-bills are arrayed-
Each seal and signature displayed
The holders VOW they must be paid,
With threats Of Law and Cham
cery.'
Then to despair we're almost driven,
There's precious little use in livin',
When our last copper's rudely riven
From hands that held it lovingly.
But larger yet these dues shall grow,
When interests added on below,
Lengthening our chin foot or 80,
While gazing at them helplessly. ~,
IT'S so, that scarce have we begun
To plead for time upon a dun, :.
Before there comes some other one,
Demanding fee ferociously.
The prospect darkens. On, ye brave,
Who would our very bacon save!
Waive, Patrons! All your pretexts
waive!
And pay the printer cheerfully.
All! It would yield US pleasure sweet,
A few delinquents now to meet,
Asking of US q clear receipt
For papers taken reg'larly.
