gentle hands of the street force, and that a way is being prepared whereby
the hack drivers may, with more convenience and safety, reach the depot
of the Seaboard Air Line railway and that al a result of this streetbuhd-
ing the Mayor is able to watch occurrences uptown better than before.
Now, we do not condemn this improvement, but We ask if there is money
in the ciy treasury to widen this short street, which accommodates very few
people, why is there not enough money in the public treasury to condemn
enough land upon GreenvIle Street and to open a sidewalk upon which the
children of the city may travel, going to, and coming from school, with some
degree of comfort, and without putting other pedestrians to the trouble of
taking the middle of the road, and without all the while running the risli
of preciItating a serious breach of the peace in the city OIL accoun of some
child being jostled by some of the colored brethren.
Charity begins at home, W e are told, and we appeal to these great PhHan-
thropiss who would help the country schools and help the children in the
country by taxing everybody to give them ways to reach the schools to open
u their hearts and do for the children of the City of Abbevile what they
are asking the people of the country to do for the children in the country
We ask them if they will not before going ut into the country districts
and asking the beniehted citizens of these "furrin'" parts to contribute of
their real estate to the public good, if they will not give a few inches of their
valuable real estate to help the people and the children, and the schools in
their W city. In the language of our distinguished friend, Col Lark
Wilson, "We paus for a reply"
The medicine, gentlemen, which you have prepared for the ignorant voters
in the country tastes a little bitter when you are called upon to swallow it
but by holding your noses and throwing your heads far back, you
will be able Ito do the job.

MORE LITTLE GRAVES.

The esteemed Abbevil]e Medium, a great
tribune Of the people and of the peoples rights,
is afraid now that if the present election carries
against the bond issue, the county so far as it's
legislative delegation is concerned, will fall into
the hands Of the corporation lawyers. The Me-
dunn need not be afraid. No such good luck
awaits the county we think. But if it does hap
pen these lawyers will have their commissions
from the hands of the people by whom they are
elected. So why worry? And when the corpor-
alton lawyers draw a bond issue bill, laymen will
not be able to shoot holes in it with pop-guns, as
is the case with the present bill. For specifica-
lions, see our next issue. g.,
The remarks of our neighbor, however, are in
t%eresting in that it is the first acknowledgment
that some of the present delegation in the legisla-
ture from this county have seen the handwriting
on the wall.

ANOTHER EXPERT.

We are informed that Col. w. w. Bradley is
seeking a professorship in the new college to
promote good voting. In order to show his fit
ness for the job he seeks, Col. Bradley says he
can figure OUT where good roads will not only
pay for themselves, but pay everybody a good
dividend. We knew if there was anybody who
could do the job, it was the figuring Colonel.
He figured out some years ago where we were
all going to make fortune out of his gold mine
on his lower place. \
He also figured that there was a gold pocket
down on the Watson place near his lower place,
and he and Col. Charley Lyon figured them
selves out of several hundred dollars trying to
slip their hands in the pocket"
In fact figuring is the Colonies long suit, and
we suggest now that if the roads will pay for
themselves, the authors of the present bill are
long way behind modern methods. The people
should certainly vote against the present scheme
which calls for so much high taxes and at the
next session of the General Assembly, get Col.
Bradley to figure up" a bill to build these roads,
and let them pay for themselves.
We believe in roads which will island alone"

SHE'S TALKING AGAIN.

Our amiable lady friend, The Medium, un-
dertakes to tell it's readers some Of the things
The Press and Banner says about the bond issue,
and high taxes. The ability of the Medium to
get facts mixed is so proverbial that we always
excuse it. AS the people, and especially the Me-
dunn readers should know just what The Press
and Banner is saying now about taxes and bond
issues, we suggest that all who have not already
done so should subscribe to a real good paper
and keep informed on what is going on.
AS a sample of the ability Of our friend, the
Medium, to fail to read and know the facts about
matters, we copy the following from The Green
vile News:
hard headed as his cabinet leaders. The Ger
man cabinet is called Reichstag, and the war
minister, Won Tirpitz, could not agree with En-.
peror Wilhelm, so he followed Garrison;EIhe
Abbeville Medium. Outside of the fact that the
Reichstag is the German parliament, not cabl-
net. and Won Tirpitz was navy minister, not war
minister, the above paragraph is correct"

MORE LITTLE GRAVES

Our venerable friend, former citizen. and en-
tirelv complacent country-saver, Col. Thomas P.
Cothran, of Greenville, made an address to the
"scholars" and teachers in our whirlwind school
on bond issues on the occasion Of the visit to
Greenville last Friday, and in the course of his
interesting remarks, he took occasion to violently
assault some of our editorial utterances with a
bludgeon fashioned out of his ancient hunnor. The
Colonel seems not to have much opinion OF our
old friend, Mathusaleh, because, as he puts the
case, after the gentleman had lived a thousand
years we know nothing of him except that ne
died.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1917-07-18

We fear that the Colonel will not live a thou
sand years, though we could hope that he might,
so that the country would have a chance to catch
up with his progressive ideas, but we suggest to
him that if, after he has been dead so long as the
other gentleman named, he is remembered at all,
we could hope that the people would say nothing
worse against him than that he died.
We also have some appreciation, after last
summers primary in Greenville county, of the
horror with which, the Colonel looks on the ex-
preston, "He died." .
We hope now that Mathusaleh knew when he
was dead.

TO OUR READERS.

Next week we will address you on the terms
of the Act under which it is proposed to issue
three hundred thousand dollars of bonds of this
county to build dirt roads. We promise to give
you something to think about.
We will also undertake to give you some tg-
ures on taxes in Abbeville county and show up
the figures of some other fgurers. We can Zig
ure' some ourselves.
We will also talk about experts and, maybe,
streets and sidewalks.

BETTER SCHOOLS

DEL len CN11OOLO
They tell us, that is, the advocates of the road
bond issue tell us, that better roads mean better
schools in the country; that the children will be
able to attend the schools from greater distances,
and with more comfort and convenience.
We presume that by the same line of reasoning
we may say that poorer roads mean poorer
schools, and that the children will attend schools
where there are poor roads with less comfort and
convenience.
If that much is admitted, what will it benefit
the county Of Abbeville to issue the road bonds?
The supervisor now informs us that there are at
least fifteen hundred miles, and probably more,
of public roads in Abbeville county. Not over one
hundred and fifty miles of roads of the sand-clay
'sort can be built from the proposed bond issue
and we will thus have thirteen hundred and fifty
,miles Of the common clay or sand roads, which
we now have.
Therefore the building Of ten per cent. of the
present mileage of roads, according to the above
reasoning, means that ten per cent, OF the schools
will be improved, and that ten per cent. OF the
.children Of Abbeville county will be given better
advantages, and more comfort and convenience
in the matter of attending schools.
But what about the other ninety per cent?
What do they propose to do for the other ninety
per cent? We can only know from what their
Ispokesmen say. The Medium, in its issue Of Fri
day, July 9Th, tells us this: 1.-THE levy of the
county this year is six mills. Practically two mills
of this is used to pay salaries, leaving four mills
to spend on the roads. OF course some Of this
money is used for widening and cutting down
grades, filling in the valleys, &c. After the bond
money is spent for good roads none of this will be
necessary as all of this kind Of work will be done
with the money received from the bond issue
AND THUS TWO MILLS AT LEAST WILL
BE SAVED, &C." o.,
If we are now spending only four mills on all
the roads, and two mills of this is to be taken off
Ibv building one hundred and fifty miles of road,
does this not mean that the bond issue advocates
propose in the future to spend only 2 mills on
the remaining thirteen hundred and fifty or
more, miles of road? If the logic of the bond is
sue advocates about schools and roads going
hand in hand holds does this not mean that nine
ty per cent. of the schools are to be poorer than
they now are, and that ninety per cent. of the
children are to suffer for the benefit of ten per
cent?
Was this government. organized for the bene-
fit of a few people, or should we seek to serve the
interest of the whole people?
