THE COUNTY TO
COUNTY CONTEST

Now that we are face to face with
another campaign year, the time is
ripe for the people who are not in
terested in political excitement to
get together and demand a cessation
of the political methods. of past years
in this State. The people should
elect men to office on issues, and not
on partisan feeling and political ex-
element and hatred.
The position will be taken that it
would hurt this or the other candi-
date to do away with the present
plan. We do not think it would,
but we have nothing to do with can
didates.\ Everyone has preferences
in political campaigns, but these pre-
ferences should not determine the
kind of campaign which is to be
waged. 1t may help Manning, or
Cooper or Blease to have the state
wide joint contests, or it may hurt
each one of them. We do not see
that it will, but we are not legislat-
ing in the party councils for any
man, but for the party, and for
mean of carrying on a campaign for
the enlightenment of the people on
the issues, which will confront them.
We believe that every man in the
race should visit, if not all counties,
then all sections of the state, where
the people may have the opportunity
to see and hear him, but when he has
gone to that trouble he should be al.
lowed to make known his views on
the stump touching the needs of the
state, and not be forced in twenty
minutes to answer some charge made
against him in the heat of debate,
and with no present opportunity to
answer the same from the records.
And a campaign conducted by G
cry man on his own responsibility,
will relieve the people of a lot Of

RELIEF WORK.

The Charleston Branch of the Ma
tional Allied Relief, Association, work
ing under the auspices of the Colon
ial Danes, has been encouraged by
voluntary contributions received
from various parts of the State to be-
lieve that there are many people in
South Carolina who would like to
contribute to this work.
The officers of the Association in
Charleston will be only too glad to
receive such contributions. The needs
are urgent. The money which has
been raised thus far has been devoted
to purchasing hospital and surgical
supplies and comforts for the wound
ed. Outfits for destitute children
have also been forwarded. Three
shipments of such supplies have al
ready gone and in addition to this
the Association has sent to the Amer
lean Ambulance Hospital in Paris a
check for $3.50.
This organization, which is sup
ported entirely by voluntary contri-
buttons from Americans, has been
doing very valuable work in caring
for wounded soldiers. 1t has been
faced lately with a threatened short
age of funds, the war having lasted
so much longer than was anticipated
and the work of the Ambulance Hos
pital having been CORRESPONDENCE
heavy.
The Charleston Branch of the AL
lied Relief Association will be glad
to receive contributions from any
persons in South Carolina and checks
may be sent to Mrs. W. H. Brawley,
9 Legare street, or Miss R. D. Bryan,
10 Broad street.

LINKS WITH TIL PAST.

The Greenville Piedmont of the
oath of February, editorially says:
"a recent contributor to the Able
vile Press and Banner makes a plea
for an Abbeville Historical Socitey.
It is a plea that should strike a re-
sponsive chord not only in his own
county but also in every county in
the state. The majority. of us know
something of the history of the ma
tom. we even have a smattering OF
the history of South Carolina, but
there is so little interest manifested
in local events usually that they are
allowed to survive only by word of
mouth and by passing from father to
son. There are many aboriginal
names of streams and places in this
vicinity, that are names and names
alone, the original meaning having
been forgotten long since, when the
only ones that could have told were
c~arelessly allowed to carry their Sc
crets to the grave. Dates of import
ant events are allowed to 60 unre-
corded, until some one in after years
awakes to the fact that it would be
very well to know them; then it is
too late. The only n to appeal to
is some of the older inhabitants in
such cases, and often their answer
is "about 70 or II years ago." or
else, "That happened the same year
that my son John had the chicken
pox for I remember" etc.
The Spaniards have "a saying:
"Writing is the best memory" and
that is certainly the case in the case
of dates, and old time events.
The country taken from the Chero:
KEGS was erected into Greenville and
Pendleton districts, the latter consist
ing of what is now Anderson, Pickens
and Oconee counties and tho this is
the youngest part of the state of
South Carolina there is much of his
torical interest bound up with the Vi
entity. One or two little circulated
works have been published dealing
with the history of northwestern Car
DINA, but they are few and scattered,
it being hard to find them even in
public libraries. There is a fruitful
field for someone with a historical
turn, in some of u local associa.

before it is too late"

THE QUAIL AND THE WEEVIL.

A statistician has estimated that
the cotton farmers of Texas lose be-
tween $40, 100000 and S50.0O0,000
a year because, in spite of strict game
laws and active game wardens, the
quail, which is n of the enemies
of the bool weevil, has been killed

THE CHAIN GANG.

1t seems that a county chain-gang
is costing money in other counties
besides Abbeville. According to the
supply bill for Greenwood county, as
published in the Daily Journal, an
appropriation for the maintenance of
the system in that county of $4,000
has been made, and along with it
is an appropriation of about $1,000
for "Roads and Bridges"
We do not know how many con-
victs are worked on the roads of
that county, nor do we know the
number of guards, nor the amount of
salary paid them. But the annual
report of the Board of Charities and
Corrections shows that the price
paid for these guards is about $50
to $50 per month each. We hazard
the guess that the chain-gang in
Greenwood county is about as expen-
sive a luxury as it is in this county,
though the roads W there appear
to be better worked than in this
county, due in some measure to the
fact that the county as a whole, fur
nishes better conditions for road
building.
A few days ago a gentleman e
marked to US that he was with US
on the fight against the chain-gang
in this county. He stated to us that
some two OF three years ago he
passed the force at work on one Of
the roads in this county, and that
Mr.. r. E. Cox was one of his COM
panions, and that Mr.. Cox remarked,
as they passed, that no county could
afford to maintain the system; that
he had made some accurate figures
in the matter and that every convict
On the gang was costing the county
one thousand dollars per year. Mr..
Cox had an intimate acquaintance
with the financial affairs of this coun-
ty, and his figures were no doubt
accurate.
Of course they will tell you that
some of the money buys fine mules,
and that some of it buys horse feed
and that some of it buys this and
the other thing, but it is all "chain-
gang expense" and without the sys-
tenn there would be m excuse for any
Of these expenditures.
And after paying five mills for
current expenses for the past five
years, and in the neighborhood of
one and a half mills each year for
past Indebtedness, and an extra one
mill levied by the county commits
sioners, and spending all the fines
and other income of the county, in
GLIDING the communication road tax,
we are told that the system presents
Us now with unpaid bills of more
than FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOL
LARS.
AND MR.. TAXPAYER, WHEN
THE MONEY is COUNTED THIS
TIME NEXT YEAR WE WILL OWE
STILL MORE, AND WE WILL CON-
TINUE TO OWE MORE UNTIL
THE SYSTEM IS ABOLISHED, OR
THE COUNTY IS BANKRUPT.

CLAIM BALL CLUBS
FORBADE PLAYERS
TO JOIN THE UNION

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-Charges
that three baseball clubs have vio-
lated the agreement between organ
lied baseball and the Baseball, Play
ers' fraternity in forbidding their
| players to become members of the
fraternity, are contained in the re-
port of President David L. Fultz OF
the fraternity. The clubs spoken of
are the Philadelphia Americans, the
Indianapolis american association
club and the Denver Western league
club.
Denials that sucn is the case have
been received from James c.. McGill
president of the indianapolis club and
formerly president of the Denver
club, and from Connie Mack, manager
of the Athletics.
There has been trouble brewing be-
tween the players, led by David Fultz
and the owners and managers, for
some time past and the impression
prevails here that unless something is
done to check it there will be mixup
about spring time when the teams

quarters. It is evident that the ring
leaders among the players are deter
mined to make the owners show their
hand. The big leagues will be meet
ing shortly and it is expected that
steps will be taken to prevent any
trouble.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.-Proof that
the Players fraternity is sincere in its
demand that it should have a voice in
the national commission reached Los
Angeles when Irish" Meusel, former
gardener of the Birmingham club of
the Southern league, who belongs to
the Chicago Cubs. received word from
David Fultz not to sign his 1917 con-
tract with the Bruins.
Meusel is one of the members of the
executive committee of the PLAYERS
fraternity. He stated today that he
would not sign his contract with the
Cubs until he received further word
from President Fultz. This is the
first report of the threatened open
break between the fraternity and or
gained baseball.
