Right Idea About Carnivals

The city council Of Roswell recently allowed a
nivaI company TO pass by the town, rather than lower
its license for the caTnivaIs benefit The council
Of the opinion, apparently that the average carnival
company of particular leneht to community and
that town Is fully as well off without as with
The council was therefore unwilling to extend any
especial invitation carnival company to come into
Roswell and take away d considerable share Of the
towns ready cash.
Lubbock, Texas, papers, commenting the attitude
OF Roswell commend Il highly, asserting Lubbock felt
much the same about the itinerant carnivas Probably
plenty of other towns Of identical opinion The
average cheap travelling carnival, hsrooTing petty gam
bling games featuring common, little shows, and
not always free Of the suspicion Of harborng purse
suacheTs and second story men, certainly brings nothing
but trash 40 town and takes away money which could
be used to better advantage in other ways. Instead
lowering the license town threatened with visit
by an attraction" of that class would do well TO
crease It to a prOhibitiye figure.
Lubbock and Roswell have the right idea

THE HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE.

|, The two Societies of the High
| School, the Calhoun and the Argon-
ian, held a joint debate last Friday
in the Court House to which the
public was invited. Several large
ferns had been placed in the Court
House and with the vases of flowers
and the bright banners of the two
| Societies, made a charming decora-
ton for the occasion. Miss Kate
Haskell, as President of the Calhoun
Society, and Mr.. Hubert Cox as
President of the Argonian Society,
occupied the Judges Stand, and both
conducted the exercises in a dlgnltled
and graceful manner. The Calhoun
Society occupied one side of the jury
chairs and the Argonian occupied
the other side. The young girls wore
white blouses, with ties and hair
ribbon the colors of their respective
societies, the Argonian wearing
green and the Calhoun wearing black
with yellow on their arms, signltylng
that their colors were black and geld.
The recitations and musical num-
bers were we'll taken by Misses Ruth
HOWE, Mary Milford, Margaret Cox,
Elizabeth Jones, Myrtle McLesky,
Fannie DuPre, Mary Haigler and
Rebecca Edmunds, while the debate
which was the feature Of the evening,
was taken part in by Miss Eugenla
Coleman, Louis Clinkscales and HUI
bert Cox for the Argonian and by
Miss Edna Bradley, Frank Gary and
lanes Hill for the Calhoun Society.
Both sides had excellent debates and
showed that they had put careful
study on their subject, which was
whether the State appropriations
should be divided between the State
Colleges and the High Schools. The
Judges who were, Rev. H. w. Pratt,
Rev. Mr.. Daniels and Rev: M. R.
Plaxco, decided that the Calhoun SO,
ciety had the best argument and
awarded them the palm.
The entertainment was a credit to
the children, to the teachers and to
the school.

THE ABBEVILLE COUNTY
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

The first session of the Abbeville
County Teachers Association for
1916, was held in the Court House
last Saturday.
About sixty teachers were present
from different parts of the county.
A most interesting and practical de-
Imonstration in Reading, phonics and
Language work for second grade

Epting, teacher in the City Schools.
Miss Epting had present a class OF
second grade boys and girls. This
class was given a lesson selected by
some teacher, the children were
given about five minutes for prepara-
ton and then called upon to recite.
The results showed clearly what a
be done with children when best
methods are used and progressive
teachers are employed.
Prof. Easterling, of the South Car
DINA University, held the audience
some forty or more minutes discus
sing in a practical way, the teaching
of Arithmetic and Algebra. He also
showed the advantages of the latest
anu DeSC hiS'ioos
teaching Mathematics.
, After some discussion, it was de-
cided to hold the Annual Field Day
about the first of April. No place
was selected. Due West, McCor-
mick and Abbeville extended invita-
tons. Upon motion it was decided
to wait until the next meeting to de-
eide upon a place.
, The president was instructed to
appoint the necessary committees for
Field Day. This will be done at
once.

MAY UTILIZE POWER
ON SAVANNAH RIVER

The following article from the
|Elberton Star of this past week tells
lof a rumor that there is a move on
foot to utilize great power on the
Savannah river:
It is understood that Patrick Cal
|houn of San Francisco, CAL, a form
|er candidate for the United States
senate in Georgia is behind a move
|ment to develop water power on
a big scale. He is one of the heirs
at law to the vast James Edward
Calhoun estate in South Carolina and
Georgia. The old home place at
Milwood, about two miles below Cal
houn Falls is at the foot of seven
miles of shoals. 1t has been said that
a dam could be built at every half
mile along these shoals and develop
power enough to turn every spindle
in Massachusetts,, and then nave pow
err to spare. Representatives of this
estate have been buying up options
in Ebert county along the river
front. Some of these options run for
but one hundred days, which lndl-
Gates that if anything is going to be
done towards the development OF this
vast water power, it will be done
speedily. Among the options already
secured is one from Brown Bros.
Other options have also been secur-
ed. and it is probable that all the
property desired has been already Sc
cured. MI. Calhoun is n of the
biggest promoters in the United
States and is a man of vast resource
fulness. If he has gone to work to
develop water power on the Savan-
nah river, it is more than likely that
he will succeed.

TO THE HOME BEYOND.
Estimable Young Lady Passed Away
at Denver, and Remains Brought
Home.
Carson City, (Mich.> Gazette.

SdTSOl SiIy, NNhiSihJ NoHe''"
In the passing of Mrs. Robert G..
Hemphill ct Denver, Colorado, Janu-
ary s, 1916, Carson City laments for
one whose young life has been snuff
fed out so early.
Jessie Louise Culver was born July
5, 1887, in this place and was the
fourth child of Mr.. and Mrs. G. R.
Culver, Sr. AS a child "Jessie" was
a .favoritc with all and widely known.
She completed the high school course
with the class of 1905 and taught in
the schools of Bloomer township one
year.
In 1906 her health gave out and in
hopes of effecting q permanent cure,
she went to Silver City, New Mexico,
where she remained a few years. On
her visits home she was much encour-
aged and the last time went to Canon
City, Colorado. Here she was practic-
ally we'll until she contracted a Sc
we're case of grippe which was the
immediate cause of her passing.
August g., 1910, at Canon City,
Colorado she was united in marriage
to Mr.. Robert G. Hemphill of Able
vile, South Carolina, an experiment
tai engineer in the government irri-
CATION service. This union was a
happy one. Three years ago Mr..
and Mrs. Hemphill spent the winter
at the formers home in South Caro-
lima and here she o many friends
by her cheerful disposition and sunny
nature. The sunshine of peace ra-
dated from her personality wher.
ever she was. Kind of heart, joviaF
and happy of speech and eye, friend
ly in greeting to every one, sustained
in her w mind by a simple trust
in God and his future. she left a
record worthy of mark for its faith
full, intelligent and honest applica-
ton cf true christianity.
An attractive personality has gone,
leaving a void in the life of the COM
munity. There is just a little less
radiance in the sunshine and a little
deeper tone to the shadow.
"Jessie," as she was known to US,
was a member of Carson City Chap
ter No. 271 o. E. S., the High School
Alumni Association, also the M. E.
church in this place.
Mrs. Hemphill is survived by her
husband, parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c. R.
Culver, ST., two brothers, F. N. Cul.
e of Chicago, Chester R. Culver of
this place; two sisters, Misses Grace
and Mary Culver of Detroit, a large
circle of relatives and a host of
friends, who sincerely regret her
passing. -,
1t was fitting that she be brought
to the home of her childhood for the
final resting place and on Wednes,
day afternoon, January IL, 1916
they laid her to rest. In our beau
tiful cemetery she sleeps, where the
winter SHOWS and the summer flowers
will cover her grave; where winds
will sing her requiems: where the
stars will shine upon the mound un-
derneath which lies, and where the
nights that are starless will envelop
it in their gloom. There near the
village and home she loved so well,
they laid her away and there she
slumbers to awaken only at the call
of the angels. .
The floral tributes completely hid
the casket from view and carried ST.
lent messages Of sympathy to the
relatives and friends.

POINTED

One good deed points the way to
another.
Method is the offspring of punctu-
atty. :.
Cheap notoriety costs more than it
is worth.
A woman who is dressed to kill
ought to be arrested.
1t is surprising hoy, little it takes
to encourage a hopeful person.
And the early tomcat sometimes
spoils the calculations of the early
bird.
Having a way of your own may en-
able you to keep out of the way of
others.
The more alimony a woman's eX-
husband pays her the more attention
other men pay her.

OVERLAND CAR GETS
\ A SEVERE TRY OUT

W. T. Foley, assistant secretary of
the Cincinnati Automobile Club re-
Gently conducted a gasoline test of an
Model Sc Overland A caK was taken
from the stock Of the Citizens Motor
Car Company. The main tank was
disconnected from the carburetor and
small tank, which held one gallon
Of gasoline was connected The car
buretor was then set so that the en-
CINE ran freely both on low and high
speed The speedomter reading then
was taken and the car was run over
prescribed course, until il stopped
for lack Of fuel. The speedometer
reading was then taken again, and it
was found thIt the car had travelled
1888 miles on one gallon of gasoline.
This gasoline. was not high proof but
an ordinary grade. Of which the hy-
drometer test showed a reading Of 50
degrees. This feat was considered
very remarkable for car of the size
