and the immense amount Of trouble
he is going to in order to. show
something worth while.
The pictures carry us through the
countries Of which most Of us have
learned only from limited reading.
We have had Scotland, Greece, Rome
Russia and some others, and others
are still to come. It is great thing
for the children who are studying
of these things to see these pictures.
It gives them so much more accu-
rate information than the histories
do, and it makes realities of the
things about which they have been
reading.
One of these days when we have
the talking pictures, we will learn
history from them instead of from
the teachers, just as we will listen
on the Sabbath in every church In
the land to the preaching Of the
great preachers of the country II
will be a bad day then for poor
school teachers and poor preachers.

A USELESS EXPENDITURE.

Last summer great deal Of work
was done on Main street in order
to cut down the grade in front of
2Mr. C. D. Browns residence. This
work was followed, if we remember
! correctly, by the hauling Of consid-
cradle sand and dumping It on this
street.
The wet weather has proved that
the expenditure Of the money in
hauling this sand was entirely use
less. The street is now almost i'm
passable. Had the proper sand, or
top soil, been placed on the street
at the time this sand was, the street
would now no doubt, be in good
shape. .. ..
Any competent road engineer we
imagine could come to Abbeville
and show the street committee and
the street foreman the proper kind
Of soil to use on clay streets, and
there could be a stop to the extrava-
CANT expenditure of public funds
in hauling sands upon the streets,
which does no good. e.
We are in favor of good streets
and we do not object to proper
expenditure in order to have them,
but hundreds and thousands Of dol
lars have been wasted in Abbeville
in the last twenty years in hauling
sand which has been Of no perma-
nent help to the streets. It is time,
we think, that we went at the task
intelligently and undertook to fol-
low out some scientific plan of per-
manently bettering our streets.

CONTINUED from Page 1.)

the new situation into which our
commerce has been forced or to In
crease the gold reserve of our ma
tional banking system to meet the
unusual circumstances Of the exist
ing financial situation.
/ "It would not cure the difficulty to
call the Sixty-fifth Congress in ex-
raordinary session. The paralysis
Of the Senate would reamin. The
purpose and the spirit Of action are
not lacking now. The Congress is
more definitely united in thought
and purpose at this moment, I ven
ture to say, than it has been within
the memory Of any man now in its
membership.
There is not only the most united
patriotic purpose, but the objects
members have in view are perfectly
clear and definite. It's majority Is

crisis of extraordinary peril, woen
only definite and decided action rl

from war itself. by the aggression of
others, action is impossible.
Evil Impression Abroad.
Although as a matter Of fact, the
nation and the representatives Of
the nation stand back of the execu-
tive with unprecedented unanimity
and spirit, the impression made
abroad will, Of course, be that it is
not 80 and that other governments
may act as they please without fear
that this government can do any
thing at all. We cannot explain.
The explanation is incredible.
"The Senate Of the United States
is the only legislative body in the
world which cannot act when its
majority is ready for action. A lit
tie group of wilful men, represent
ing no opinion but their own, have
rendered the great government Of
the United States helpless and con-
temptible.
"The remedy? There is but one
remedy. The only remedy is that
the rules Of the Senate shall be 80
altered it can act. The country may
be relied on to draw the moral. I
believe that the Senate can be re-
lied on to supply the means Of ac-
ton and save the country from dis
aster."
Dangers Lurking.
At the same time the President
authorized the further statement
that what rendered the situation
ever more grave than it had been
supposed thatH was, was the discov-
cry that, while the President under

THE PICTURES.

There is considerable discussion
all the while about the moving pic
lures. One community and then
another requires q Censorship Of
the pictures, and this paper con-
demns them, and another defends
them. Undoubtedly some Of the
pictures which are shown have bad
influence, especially on the young
mind.
But no one can offer any objec-
ton to the pictures which are being
shown in the Court House every
Thursday night. The people Of the
town are being given a rare educa'
tional treat in these pictures, and
the thanks of the community should
20 out to Mr.. Pratt for the great
amount Of labor he is performing

LIVE NEWSPAPERS.

The newspapers printed in Green
wood, The Index and The Daily
Journal, are keeping pace with the
progressive city in which they are
published.
The Daily. Journal now carries
the Associated Press dispatches in
its columns, which greatly improves
It's news service and its consequent
value to subscribers and advertis-
ers The Journal is the first Of the
afternoon dailies received here, and
its columns carry the news Of the
day, printed in succint and readable
form. It continues to grow in ia
vor, and with the growth of Green
wood, it is becoming one Of the lead
ing dailies of the Piedmont.
l. The Index has for sometime been
regarded as the best Of the week
lies published in the state, if not in
the South, It's influence has grown
until it usually carried some thirty
two pages. This much was necessary
in order to give its readers the news
service they were entitled to and to
accommodate its advertisers. The
management Of the Index soon saw
that better service to subscribers
and advertisers alike could be given
if he paper were published oftener.
Accordingly the paper first became
a semi-weekly, and it is now a tri-
weekly. Its columns are ! full Of
news of Greenwood county and its
people, and it continues to be a
growing advertising medium.
Both papers have men Of thought
and standing as editors, and they
may generally be found on the right
side Of political questions, as we
See them, and always on the right
side of moral questions. We con-
graduate them on their success and
wish for them continuance thereof.

FOUR SAD WORDS ARE ,@*
THESE, Il USED TO BE-

A good lesson for men, young and
old, is in the words-"I used to
be-"
A million men will say ''I used to
be" and tell what they were or what
they did in other days. And when
the usual 'hospitable" question fol
lows, the man who says 81 used to
be" says also:.
ga LITTLE WHISKY, PLEASE"
81 used to be" and "a little whis-
XIV, please" are brother and sister,
Where you hear one you hear the
other. ...
And the s'I used to be" man, who
lis now the "A little whisky, please"
man, is Of every age, every condl-
ton every kind.
You will hear one man say, 81
used to be the biggest depositor in
that bank" and another will say, 81
used to make twenty dollars a
week."
They were far apart in their sue.
cess, the man with millions and the
man happy because he made twenty
dollars q week.
BUT THEY ARE CLOSE TO.
GETHER IN THEIR FAILURE.
"a little whisky, please" said too
often and drank too often brings
together men very far. apart. 49,.
In the army or the navy you will
hear it said, "He used to be one of
the best officers" And there again
whisky causes the "Used to be-"
The FUSED to be-" so often heard
among polo men, is due to the fact
that some of the best polo players,
as the Englishman truly said, "Did
not see the difference between tea
and high balls in the afternoon"
The difference between tea and
"a little whisky, please" is the diff
ference between success and failure
in anything.
"He used to have everybody's re-
spect."
"He used to be a great ball play
er."
"He used to run everything"
It is WHISKY, the poison de-
stroying will and power, that makes
the man who CAN into the man who
USED TO BE.
The world is coming to know
whisky for what is really is-a mon
ster that always works for ruin and
misery. . ...

sealed in this nation.-The Georgian

A NOTE OF WARNING.

Corn is now selling at one dollar
and thirty-fve cents per bushel
Flour is correspondingly high and 81
are all other food-stuffs. There il
no chance that the prices on these
commodities will 60 down in th'
near future. The continuance o.
the European War, and the proba
bilities Of war between the United
States and Germany make 1t prac
tically certain that the prices OF
these commodities have only begur
to rise. .'..-.L... ,..
The amount Of food-stuffs nov
being produced in. the country art
insufficient to meet the wants od
the people according to the state
ments Of those in position1to know
The continued demands on the in
adequate supply mean higher prices
Already in NewsYork and In, The
larger cities famine prices have
existed.
All Of which should teach the far
mer, not Of the country at large
not the farmers in the West, but
the farmers Of Abbeville county
that the only salvation for them
against hard times, and extremely
hard times at that, is to produce
upon the farms sufficient food-stuffs
for another year. Corn should be
planted, vegetables should be grown
in the gardens, hay and all manner
Of forage produced, and enough
meat should be raised to carry uf
through at least twelve months. I'm
less this is done people will be in
want for the necessities Of life in

referred to the opposition group as
containing eleven Senators, whereas
thirteen who had opportunity to do
so failed to sign the manifesto. SEN
ator Penrose did not sign, but said
he would have voted for the armed

afforded. It was assumed that the
President had eliminated also Sena-
tor Stone in his list, because Stone
announced he opposed the bill, but
did not oppose vote.
