MEN OF ABBEVILLE.

At the first call to arms three sons
of Abbeville offered their services
to their country. Gottlob Neuffer,
Paul B. Kennedy and W. D. Wilkin-
son have shouldered their guns and
gone to the front. These young gen.
tlemen are but boys. Two of them oc-
cupied few days ago responsible
positions, the other was school boy,
at home on his vacation.
But when duty called they answer
ed, because they are made of the
mettle of which soldiers are made.
GOTTLOB NEUFFER is a son Of
DIR. G.. A. Neuffer, Of this city. His
mother was Miss Annie Hemphill.
His grandfather was Gen. Robert R.
Hemphill, a soldier of the Southern
cause, vino, when at the age of his
grandson offered his life for South
ern rights and who was in the thick
of the fight until Lee surrendered.
PAUL B. KENNEDY is son of
the late J. R. Kennedy, who as sher-
if of Abbeville county, lost his life
doing his duty. His paternal grand
father was John Kennedy, q soldier,
too, of the Southern cause. His
grandfather on his mothers side of
the house was the late George A.
Hanvey, of this county, who also
worthily wore the gray.
W. D. WILKINSON comes of true
men too. His father was too young
for the war, but his grandfather,
John Wilkinson, saw service in Mexi-
CO in 46-48. He was a member Of
the Palmetto regiment, and fought
for his country in all the big battles
around Mexico City. His grand
father on his mothers side Of the
house, was Capt. w. D. Mann, a con-
federate soldier, as cool as the cool
est and as brave as the bravest.
Sherman spoke the truth when he
said that War is He'll, but when the
country calls, the citizens must. re-
spond. Abbevlle has always respond
ed, and her men have always. been
where the bullets were the thickest
and the fighting the hardest. And
if it becomes necessary that these
boys see service, Capt. Gossett will
find the Abbeville members of his
Machine Gun Company animated
with the spirit of the men from
whom they come, and ready to do
their duty.
: We take off our hats to them !!
They were boys yesterday. They are
men today.

GOOD ROADS.

One day this week we passed over
three or four miles Of so-called pub
lie road in this county. The road
serves the people Of a neighborhood,
and the public has no interest in it
further than its interest in the
neighborhood. But the neighbor-
hood is good one. Good people
live along the road, and the lands
along the road are valuable. The
farmers in that section are good far
mers.
We believe, therefore, that these
farmers and these good people would
be willing for the county to appro-
pirate enough Of their lands to build
road on which two vehicles could
pass safely, which cannot now be
done. We believe that people who
are prospecting themselves like to
see the county affairs in good shape,
and most all Of the people who re-
side in the country and are compell-
ed to use these roads should desire
that they be built 80 as to make them
useful to the neighborhood.
But we found that the county has
been spending money on this road,
which is not ten feet wide in places.
With every rain, whatever Of work
has been done just before, is labor
wasted.
The legislative delegation should
pass some legislation which would
prohibit the county authorities from
using public money on such roads,
because it is nothing short Of waste.
And until they do this the county
supervisor and sub-supervisors
should pass rule that no roads are
to be worked connecting the people,
of neighborhood with a public
road unless twenty-five feet Of land
is appropriated for the purpose Of
making road which may be travel
ed. We are opposed to thu public
working neighborhood roads at all,
but if they are to be worked by the
public, which is now the policy Of
the county authorities, (at least to
some extent), some degree Of intel
ligence should be employed with re-
gard thereto in order to save the
county from loss.

COOPER. STOCK RISING.
Some days before the campaign

Some days before the campaign
opened The Anderson IntelGgencer
expressed the view that Cooper stock
was on the decline, and that MIR.
Cooper's friends thought he should
retire from the race. The editor
of the Intelligencer was no doubt
fully convinced that he was right III
that opinion. The trouble with him.
however, vas that he mad been read
ing the Manning newspaper bo,S'"rs.
and had OF been sounding the great
masses - thir'. ing People mis-
county. ..
The Intelligencer has Been fair to
the candidates since the campaign
opened, and has given, in our judg-
ment, the best and most accurate re-
ports of any Of the papers we have
read. It is evident from reading
the reports as contained in that pa
per, as well as in others, that Cooper
stock is rising. It seems to be con-
ceded, that Cooper was the favorite
in Spartanburg and in Greenville.
Ex-Governor Blease seems to have
had the better Of the argument in
Pickens 80 far as the crowd was
concerned. We are able to express
no opinion on the Oconee meeting,
but when the candidates reached
Anderson it became apparent that
Cooper stock was still rising. ~
It should be remembered that
Governor Manning and Mr.. Blease
have every advantage. Of Mr.. Cooper
in this section SO far as getting their
friends to these meetings. A
greater percentage Of Governor
Manning's friends live in the towns
and cities than in the rural districts;
and the greater proportion Of Mr..
Blease's friends are in the industrial
communities and in the towns, while
the Cooper strength in this section
is largely in the country. Just now
the Cooper men are busy with their
crops and cannot attend the meet
ings generally. Therefore, we should
not have been surprised had Cover
nor Manning and Mr.. Blease made
a much better showing as regards
the crowds attending the meetings
than they have made, and we have
been more than agreeably surprised
that Cooper. has developed SO much
strength among those who might
have been favorable to the other
candidates. Tt all goes to show that
the people want a man of sound and
discriminating judgment, man who
it not partisan, one who will treat
every man in the state as true son
of South Carolina, and man who
is willing to make the fight on his
own merits.
The spattanburg Journal, which had
already expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Cooper would be in the second
race is now confirmed in that opin-

THOUGHTS ON POLITICS.

Governor Blease moves to amend
a sentence in the description of "the
prominent farmer from Newberry"
by striking out the letters Ger" in
the word "crying," and inserting
in lieu thereof the letter '1," so
that the sentence shall read as fol-
lows, "He seemed to be lying all
the time.'

WE KNOW 1T.

''It begins to look as though the
esteemed Press and Banner of Alb
beville considers one Robert A.
Cooper the one candidate who
should be elected governor of South
Carolina"
We predict now that the esteemed
Lancaster News will be of a like
opinion before the latter days of
August. Gentlemen, victory is in
the air.

Dale Barksdale and Uncle Jim did
not attend services any where. on
Sunday. They are looking for their
new pastor this week, and from now
on they will look solemn every day.
They therefore concluded to take a
day off before the pastor got here.

We hope that all the Cooper men
in Abbeville county will not be here
today. We dislike anything like a
love feast at a campaign meeting.
We want to see the other candidates
have a good time, and we ask the
Cooper boys who arer here, to give
them the glad hand.

that the City Council has not passed
an ordinance forbidding our brave
boys from wearing these new striped
shirts.

ATTENTION DEMOCRATS!

The democratic party has decreed that candi-
dates for office shall be nominated in the prim
aries. It has decreed that candidates for State
offices shall tour the State in body, and that
they shall have the opportunity to- address the
people of each county as the counties are reach
ed; and that the people of each county shall
have the opportunity to meet the candidates face
to face Such being the DEGREES of the party, the
matter of the best way to run campaigns is set
tied for the time.
The purpose of these campaigns is that the
candidates shall expose their views to the public
as we'll as their own proper persons, in order that
the people may see and hear them and make up
their minds as to the fitness of each man tor the
office he seeks to fill For these purposes the
candidates are with us today.
The people of the county will see and hear
them. It is the duty of the people who are to Sc
|lect these offices to learn of them. This may be
done in many ways. No one way gives full IN
SIGHT into the character and standing Of any one
candidate. It is necessary to know something OF
the candidate from the people where he lives. 1t
is necessary to read the newspapers 1t is neces-
sary to hear the partisans of the candidates ex-
press their views on the fitness of their favorltes
for the different offices.
But the object of the whole performance and
proceedings is to enlighten the voter as to the
best man for the particular office; to enable him
to say for himself after full investigation, and
after seeing the candidates, who is the best man
for the Office You have your preferences, as we
have ours But is is your duty to see and hear
these men who would serve you, and you should
make up your estimate of every candidate with
all light possible before you Most of all and
finally, it is the duty of every democrat to decide
all these matters for himself.
Therefore, we urge upon the people of Able
vile county to turn out and hear the speakers
who are to address us today. Come not as parh-
sans, but as citizens seeking light. Come to Sc
lect for yourself the man who will best serve the
State. Hear what all have to say. Write it down
in the book of memory and then go home, and
as you talk with your wife and children, think
VIII WOulu UeSC SeIVe Icc1l VI tllCoC
loved ones; as you go about your business in
quire of yourself who best represe ents what you
need and should have in this life, who best under
stands your situation, and would be most likely
to serve your welfare; think about your neigh
bors and decide who would best serve the inter-
ests of the county, and the State as whole, and
who would like most to see the people Of the
State one great and satisfied people, If you do
this, the day will not have been spent in vain.

Since it has been definitely ascer-
tanned that Hughes is a Baptist, we
predict that the republicans will
greatly increase the vote for their
candidate in South Carolina, especi-
ally in the Sweet Water section of
Aiken county.

showed a tie between the two as

of the name being so long, and
that thus Mr.. Fitzgerald had been
credited with five votes more

in which both candidates were

did not exceed two-cent stamp

THE PURPOSE OF THE
NONPARTISAN LEAGUE

lne NOnpaftlSaH league Has
been completely victorious in
this election with one possible ex-
ception. The vote on Casey. the
leagues Democratic candidate
for treasurer. is still in doubt.
1t also appears that the league
will have control of the next leg
islature. Now that the league has
won, what may the people Of
North Dakota expect to do That
is the interesting political ques
tion in this state today.
Discussing the program of the
league. The Nonpartisan Leader
of this week, after summarizing
the results of the election says:
"The league must stick togeth-
er. The league can not stop.
When it stops it is dead 1t must
not die. If it does your year of
effort is wasted and gone.
1--WE have learned how to fight.
We have learned how to pull to-
gether. We have fine army
Don't let it be ruined by partial
victory. Let us not be drunk
with success or we shall end in
disaster and uselessness.
''Now let us talk about some
thing we all know-something we
all have felt but have scarcely
dared to put into words. The
leagues legislative program is not
its real purpose. Let the league 9
enemies take these words and
-: 80 the most OF ii:cin The

purpose; rather it is merely the
expression Of certain immediate
desires.
The leagues real purpose can
hardly be expressed 1t is an as.
piration for justice. 1t is aspira~
lion for better living and better
chance to live. 1t is demand
for an amendment of the rules
of the game of living so as to
give every man a fair show"
This is surely a high aspira
lion. The Nonpartisan league
has it in its power to make good.
1t has won complete power in
this state in all three branches of
government, legislative, execu-
tive and judicial.
If it will not abuse this power.
