is the custom on Vienna street,
where he has resided for sometime,
he arose at six o'clock in the morn

posed that he was a burglar and
came near having him arrested.
We trust that he will soon get

SHOULD BE REELECTED.

Senator Tillman has announced
that he will stand for another nomi-
nation in the coming Democratic
Primary election. He refers to his
statement of sometime ago in which
he announced that he would not
again be a candidate. He feels that
this statement on his part should
not now govern his actions for the
reason that the country has since
that time been plunged into war
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1918-03-12

md now needs the services of the
best, ablest, and most experienced
minds in the nation. Senator Till
man feels that his long experience
in the senate, his influence with the
departments and with public men
generally, and his knowledge of af-
fairs, especially his knowledge and
experience Yin matters connected
with the Navy, make it his duty to
offer his services to the country at
this time, though, on personal
grounds, he might choose otherwise.
We think the Senator's position
sound. We do not think he. would
be a real friend of the country, nor
loyal to it's best interests if he did
not offer his services again at this
time. In Washington Senator Till
mar is a commanding figure. He
has taken his place in the councils
of the nation as one of the ablest
men in the whole country. The &C.
complishments of the Navy since
var was declared show that the
Senator, as head of the committee
on naval affairs, has had his mind
on his business. The people of the
state do we'll to demand that he
stand for reelection, and they will
re-elect him. The people of the
state r loyal to the nation first,
and then to their friends.
1t is no time to talk about rec
ords, or what a man said thirty
years ago, or what he stood for at
that time. The question today is,
and should be, what is he doing for
the country, and what can be accom-
plish?. Can another man in his DO
sition do more? No candidate will
meet with success, nor win, nor de-
serve, the support and confidence
of the people Of the state who, at
this time, undertakes to inhame the
public mind, or to bring up old con-
troversies to vex the people, when
there is but one thing which should
engage the attention of patriots
the winning of the war.
The people now are not interested
in the political fortunes of any fav-
orites. At most Senator Tillman
can hold the office to which he as
pires for only a few years. There
is plenty of time in which the
young gentlemen offering for the
seat in the senate occupied by him
may serve the state. They may do
so now by turning their attention
away from politics and getting af-
ter some Of the big work the gov
eminent has to. be done by real
patriots. When the Senator has
passed, and the war is over, we may
have leisure to renew the office
seeing pastime in South Carolina.

LET HIM SPEAK OUT

OkkS W VAN
has announced his platform, giving
to the voters of the city some Of
the planks on which he proposes to
stand in his race for this important
Office. It goes without saying that
the other candidates should do the
same thing. No man may expect
the votes of thoughtful voters when
he is pursuing the button-hole me-
thod of electioneering. It may be
satisfactory to the man to whom
you talk to say that you are for
this or the other measure, but there
is no real reason why the public
should not know for what. a candi-
date stands, except the one desire
on his part to get votes from both
sides in a given controversy.
There are reforms demanded in
the city government by a goodly
portion of the voters of Abbeville,
if not by a clear majority of the
voters. How do the candidates for
mayor stand on these proposed re-
forms? ,...... rig ..
And, while: the candidates for.
mayor are being considered, let Us
not forget that the mayor can do
nothing unless he is backed by men,
bers of the council of like mind
with himself. It will do no good to
elect a mayor who Is in favor of
n reform or another or opposed
to one reform or another, unless
the members of the city council
support his views. It therefore be-
comes important to have the candi-
dates for. seats in council declare
themselves 49,.
And, in this connection, it will be
we'll for the voters in the several
wards to see that men ,voicing their
views in city affairs offer for places
in the council, otherwise, when the
show down comes we may find that
no. one is running who stands for
the things which the voters desire.
There is another thing which we
have already said, but which will
bear repeating. The men really
worth while in the city will not al
ways run for seats in the city coun-
Gil unless their neighbors ask them
to do 80. Public spirited men do
not like in every case to become
ofice-seekers, and to ruiz around
and ask people to vote for them.
The voters themselves should real
Me the Importance of the offices
which are to be filled, and should
nominate and work for candidates
who will faithfully represent the
city in all matters. Do not wait
until the last day. See that the
right man is nominated in your ward
and that his pledge is filed. Do not
let matters 60 by default.
And we hope that the men who
foil to take an interest in the things
which we have been urging upon
the public will not allow matters to
u the usual course and then stand
around and swear at the way things
IRE RUE ia Abbeville, as they have
been known to do in the past. II
this business is worth looking after
it is worth our time and attention
today. Cursing the situation after
the battle is over will not capture
say more of the enemy.

THE 100000 CAMPAIGN
And Preparation for the Every
Member Canvass.
Synod of South Carolina, E. E. Gil
- les1ie, Manager.

l~es9ie, Manager.
Many churches are succeeding in
their Every Member Canvass this
year because they are painstaking
and thorough in the preparation.
l. Because a real awakening to
the Importance is spreading over
the church. Nothing is more vital
to the success of the church than to.
have every feature Of the Church's'
life put into the right place and
given proper attention. The finance
Of the Church occupies a. strategic
place in the success of the congrega-
ton. ...
AS we face the New Year with
the commanding goal of 900, 900;
before us the pastors and the local,
church leaders are making a worthy
response in bringing to their com.
gregations the very best methods.
for the promotion Of Gods work.
Through the well organized Church,
wide Campaign this work is being
placed at the very front Of the
Church's endeavor, and is inspiring
confidence and leading people to do,
the heroic. 49,. 1
2. Because there is a growing
heart passion in the church. The
church is coming more and more to-
feel that, its mission is to tell the
world who Jesus is, and is awaken
ing to the individual responsibility.
The atmosphere which produces
this possian is more and more per-
meating the Church. This is evil
denced in the growing spirit of
Stewardship seen and felt every
where. Pastors are leading today;
tenderly yet boldly they r bring
ing their people to e that God ex-
poets, requires and demands of
them their cooperation in service
and money. .'...
Because plans worthy of the task:
are before the! Church.
Our plans have failed because
they are out of keeping with the
task of the Church. We could not
call upon God for his be-.
cause of the blight of a circumscrib-
ed vision. Today we have taken up
the challenge that God has thrown
down, and the people are respond
ing. "Him that honoreth me I will
honor" Plans Of large dimensions
have been set going, and these plans
are going to change the vision Of
The Church.
Because the Campaign is a spirit
ual me-.
This is not a Campaign simply to
raise money. 1t can be easily seen
how even ss,ooo,oOo might prove a
real hurt to the Church if not &C
COMMANDED by spiritual power. The
Church is being impressed as never
before with the spiritual relation
which exists between man and his
money. The very primary object
o fthe campaign is to intensity the
growing spirit of Stewardship, and
because. this is the basis of the
campaign the Church will subscribe
and oversubscribe the amount asked

If we want the Dixie Highway to
pass through Abbeville, the thing
to do is to raise money to build the
right kind Of a road. AS the road
will pass through certain sections
only, the county cannot be bonded
in order to secure it, and all the
money must be raised by subscrip-
tions, unless perhaps the city may
issue bonds in aid of the road. If
a permanent road is to be built of
some enduring substance approved
by competent engineers, The Press
and Banner is ready to subscribe.
Money will talk in this enterprise.

We notice that one OR more dele
cations are to be to Asheville in the
matter of the Dixie Highway. We
hope that these delegates will pay
their own expenses. Men who are
not enough interested in matters of
this kind to pay their personal ex-
penses on trips of this kind need not
be trusted to do much highway
building. Besides, neither the city
council nor the county has any au-
thority to spend money for trips of
this kind.
