FOOD CONSERVATION.

AS little as we now appreciate
the fact, it is necessary that the
people of this country, and that
means the people of Abbeville, not
the people of Greenwood or Ander-
son, should stand behind the admin,
istration in the matter of food con-
servation. The talk by Mr.. Smell in
the Court House on Friday afternoon
was enough tc convince the thought
full that we must prepare to feed the
allies and that we may best do it by
needing the requests of the govern,
ment in all matters, wen though
some of the requests may seem to
us to be unnecessary.
Mr.. j. Allen Smith has been ap.
pointed as the agent of the govern.
ment to carry out its program in this
county. The people will learn from
statements in other columns of this
paper just what is wanted and what
is expected of them. Mr.. Smith and
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1917-10-09

the others, whom he will appoint,
will undertake to see the people of
the county and have them to sign
pledges to do their part in the under
taking to furnish our allies with nee
essary food supplies to enable them
to continue the present conflict to
a victorious end.
The people of the state may best
show their patriotism by answering
all the calls of the government. We
hope that the people of Abbeville
county will lose no time in pledging
themselves to do their part to helr
the men in the trenches.
Bread, they tell US, will win the
war. Then by all means let us give
the men who do the fighting and the
hungry women and children in
France the necessary bread.

H SEMI-WEEKLY

We have been somewhat delayed
in starting The Press and Banner as
a semi. weekly. 1t was u purpose
to start last week, but circumstances
prevented. With this issue we com,
mence sending the paper to your
homes twice each week. The paper
for the present will. be a six-page
paper.
In this connection we beg to
thank the people of Abbeville and
Abbeville county for the support they
have given the paper since the pres
ent management has had it in charge.
We have undertaken to give the peo-
pie a paper which was worth the
money charged for it. We have also
undertaken, as far as we were able,
to see that those who received it
did so for a consideration. We have
not vet found a reason why the pa
per should 20 to those who do not
desire to pay for it. For they rea-
son we have been forced to drop
from the subscription lists, as they
came to us, many names we would
have liked very much to keep. But
while this has been the case many
new ones have been added to the lists
As far as we can now recall, not a
single person who has subscribed for
the paper since we commenced the
work has discontinued his subscrip-
ton. And others are still coming.
We can only do our best, and we
ask the people to continue to give
us their support and confidence.

U SEED J%UDIcIoUsLY.

Clemson College, s. C.-Farmers,
not infrequently, have the habit Of
ordering their seed from what may
be termed a pet seed house without
stopping to consider that possibly a;
better quality Of seed could be OBJ
tanned from a different firm even at
a lower price.
Recently the writer had occasion
to order some sweet-clover seed.
Samples and prices of scarified
white sweet-clover seed were OBJ
tanned from but two reputable seed
houses. The two samples secured
were analysed and tested for germi-
nation. The seed from one contain
ed many weed seeds and gave a gem
~ination of only sixty per cent
much too low for scarifed seed,
while the sample Of seed from the
other seed house contained no weed
seed and terminated ninety per
cent. The former was listed at
Twenty-Five cents per pound while
the latter sold for twenty-five cents
and in addition free i%noculating ma
terial was supplied. Ten pounds Of
seed of the latter was ordered, thus
saving sixty-fve cents in purchasing
this small amount, the transporta-
ton charges being about the same.
This seed cost less but yet will give
much better results, as a greater
and more uniform termination will
be secured. In addition, nc weed
seeds are introduced to infest the
fields as would have happened had
the higher priced inferior seed been
planted.

TILLMAN SHOULD RUN.

In today's issue will be found a
statement from Senator Tillman as
to his attitude on the senatorial race
next summer. It will be read with
interest.
We have no doubt that when the
Senator made his statement some
time ago that he would retire at the
end of his present term, unless the
people willed differently, he was
sincerely of the opinion that he
should do so. We have no doubt
now that from a purely personal
standpoint he would like to retire,
especially as his family so desire.
He has reaped all the honors which
the Office can give him, and there is
nothing more which he can gain per-
sonally by standing for reelection.
Leaving out of discussion the
question whether a mar should lay
aside the harness while he may yet
wear it, we think that the Senator
now owes it to the people Of the
state to make the race for re-elec-
ton. He has been the most con-
spicious representative from South
Carolina since the days of Calhoun.
He has measured up to the high
standard of even the best men South
Carolina has given to the nation.
The country is now in a great war.
The country needs the services of
the ablest men from all the states.
Because of his great ability and his
long experience, his high standing
with the administration and among
the other senator's, Senator Tillman
is capable of rendering better SER
vice to the state and to the country
than any other mar the state has to
offer FOR the office which he now
holds. For that reason he should by
all means be reelected. The people
should and will demand that he
stand for reelection. And he will
be reelected.

RURAL POLICE.

Judging from the editorial page
of the Greenwood Journal the rural
police system is not proving a cure
for all ills in Greenwood county. 1t
seems that there is all n of
complaints against the workings of
the system.
The Journal thinks that some of
the complaints are perhaps just, but
that the faults of the system may be
corrected? The Journal will find
that is is more hopeful than the ex-
perience of other counties warrants.
Abbeville county had a rural police
force for a season. We had good
men on the force. At the first term
of the court there were a great num-
Der of cases in the courts which
would not have been there except
for the fact that they were worked
up by the rural police force. The
force was a great enemy of crime,
so much so that witnesses for, those
charged were afraid to testify in the
courts.
In a little while the rural police
force became a political factor. The
men who had the appointment of
the rural policemen were themselves
in politics and when the contests for
reelection came on, they naturally
expected those whom they had helped
to come over and help them. The
fact is that, Notwithstanding, as we
have stated, we had as good men on
the force in this county as could be
had in any county, the system be-
tame so permeated with politics that
the people at an election ordered for
the purpose of testing it's efficiency
and popularity voted it out by a
great majority.
The people of a county need not
expect the law enforced unless the
communities want it enforced. The
enforcement of the law in the sever
al communities will become more
satisfactory in the degree to which
the people desire the law to be en-
forced. The people must learn that
no police force will give US enforce
ment of the law above what the peo-
pie want. For that reason the ex-
perience of years has taught US that
there should be local officers in the
several communities to enforce the
law, and that when a man breaks the
law in a community the people will
generally demand his arrest by these
local officers, and his trial and con-
viction if he should be convicted. If
he needs to be sent to the higher
court the people in the community
will see that he is sent there. Cases
which should not be tried will not
be worked up, and many cases which
over-industrious rural policemen
would work up will be settled at
home and eve find their way into
the courts, and the community will
find itself the better for the fact.
The rural police force will be
found a farce in every county where
it is tried in the. long run. We have
enough officers now to enforce the
law. What we need is a constantly
growing demand by the people that
all laws be enforced.
