TWO LAWYERS TO THE FRONT.

The legal profession has always
furnished its full quota of men when
the call to arms was sounded. 1t
will prove so in the case of the pres
ent conflict. Of the nine men who
Sunday went to the front from this
place at the call of he country, two
were members Of the Abbeville Bar.
Robert S. Owens, one of these re-
ferred to is q native Of Clinton, but
for the past several years he has
been practicing law at Abbeville,
where he has established reputa-
ton as a young man Of high char
acter and superior talents.
Wallace W. Harris, is son of the
late John A. Harris, and Of Mrs.
Annie Coogler Harris, his widow.
he was educated in the University
Law School and has been practicing
in Columbia for two or three years.
Lately he decided to locate in Abbe-
vile to continue the practice of his
profession, and he was just settled
when he decided to join the colors.
The friends ofthese young soldiers
wish them mighty we'll"

does, alone among her sisters, in
the vindicstion Of her rights, with q
strong government which she has
left threatening to crush her. II
The dates which I see upon the
coat of arms, recalls the most lively
emotions. 1776 is as dear to us as
it ever was; it recalls our glorious
deliverance from British bondage.
1860 recalls a more glorious deliv-
erance from the tyranny Of fana-
tical majority. The first recalls
the deeds of. our sires-the last
proves we have not forgotten the
lessons which they taught us.
How soon this beautiful banner
is to be unfurled upon the field OF
battle and blood, none can tell.
When the time comes we hope, lady,
to win the title which you have
given us, "The Brave" Be assured
this flag shall be borne by hands and
sustained by hearts that will never
forfeit your good opinion. When
our country is to be defended and
honor at stake shall it wave-and
never shall it trail in the dust until
the arms of my command are nerve
less, and it becomes, i the winding
sheet of the last survivor.
Lady, in behalf Of. my command,
I tender to your fair self and the
ladies Of Abbevillej whom you rep
resent, my grateful thanks for this

DEATH OF MRS. CARL MILFORD

Mrs. Lily Purdy Milford died al
DR.. Pryor's hospital Saturday after.
noon, May IL, and the remains were
brought to Abbeville on Sunday
and the funeral services were held at
Shiloh church near her home and
she was buried in the Shiloh ceme-
terry in the presence Of her loved
ones and friends.
Mrs. Milford had been in bad
health for sometime and was a pa
tient sufferer for many months, and
only last week was it found neces-
sary for her to 60 to the hospital for
treatment, where she passed away
soon after her arrival.
She was the daughter of Mr.. R. D.
Purdy of our city, and she leaves a
disconsolate husband and three lit
tie daughters, Mary, Margaret and
Willie Belle, and three brothers and
one sister, all of whom have the
sincere sympathy of our community.

people against producing too much
cotton. According to his idea on
account of the high prices of food
products, the sales of dry goods and
cotton goods is now being greatly
reduced and will be still further re-
duced. The submarines are sinking
so many vessels that all the avail
able bottoms will be necessary to
carry the necessary supplies to the
allies as the months 60 by, and no
cotton can be carried abroad thus
confning US to the demand produced
by home consumption.
To these two undeniable state
ments Mr.. Coker adds the further
statement that the price of cotton
now is maintined largely through
temporary government war orders
and that we may look for lessen
ing of the demand for the fleecy
staple while other products continue
to rise in price.
All of this should impress every
thoughtful person in the towns, in
the cities, on the farms, in indus-
trial communities and other places
that it is profitable to produce at
home as much Of food crops as
possible. A failure in this country
to have enough meat and bread as
long as these bring present prices
and along with that failure ten cent
cotton would spell disaster for the
South.

PROF. r. B. CHEATHAM.

Among those who left on last Sun
day for the front was Prof. R. B.
Cheatham, for the last several years
the Superintendent of the schools in
this school district. Mr.. Cheatham
carries with him the good wishes of
the people of Abbeville. He has been
trained in military affairs at the
Citadel, where he was educated, and
has kept up his military training.
He Is a man of fine executive ability
and will prove valuable man in the
army. We shall expect to hear of
his receiving a high commission in
the organization of the soldiers into
fighting units and of his steady pro-
motion.

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

At meeting Of the trustees Of
the schools of this district held on
last Friday afternoon, Prof. ID. r.
Riser, at present Superintendent Of
the Manning schools, YVES elected as
Superintendent Of our schools for the
coming year.
Prof. Riser is a graduate of New
berry College. He taught three years
at Ninety-Six and then took year
in graduate work at Yale. Since his
return he has been Superintendent
of the schools at Ridgeway, Aiken
and Manning. He has also taught in
the High School in Columbia.
President Harrison Randolph, Of
the College of Charleston, says that
among the best prepared students
who have come to his institution in
recent years are those from the
schools taught by Prof. Riser. In
Manning he has doubled the number
of boys studying in the high school
department.
In addition to the teachers elected
at recent meeting to teach in the
primary department, the trustees
have decided to put on an extra
grade and to elect three lady teach
ers and one man teacher for the high
school. The male teacherswill be in
charge of mathematics. Miss Saidee
Magill has been reelected as teacher
of history. The other teachers in
the high school did not apply and
their places will be filled in the fu-
ture.
Among the teachers at present in
the schools, the following have been
reelected and will remain for an
other year: Misses Lander, Allen
Brock, Epting, Robertson, Richards,
Edwards, Brice, Dial, Swetenberg
and Tennant.

nerves his arm in deadly conflict.

TOO MUCH COTTON.

We frequently these days hear
the complaint that the price of cotton
Is not keeping pace with the prices
of other products, and that the
farmers will not be able to produce
cotton at a profit if corn and flour
and meat continue to go up and cot
ton down.
But this does not put the price of
cotton up. We are impressed with
the letter of Mr.. D. R. Coker, in
which he undertakes to advise the
