The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1918-12-03

Abbeville is growing smaller eacn
wear. and the number will continue
to grow smaller. Almost every day
there is a demand for house. Al
ready a great number of homes
have two families residing in them,
and the demand for rooms for light
housekeeping keeps pace with the!
demand for the houses themselves.
Some of those who have not built
houses for rent, but who have been
accustomed to rent from others, say
from time to time that somebody
should build more houses for rent;
that there is q demand for them
and the income from the investment
IS satisfactory. Only those people
who have not tried the experiment
have ever made this statement. The
truth is that there has always been
fairly good demand for good
houses in Abbevillc, but the amount
6 rent paid has always been so
small that the investment has not ap-
nealed to q man who has tried it
once before.
We will take house of six rooms
for an example. A lot in desirable
neighborhood will cost $500. To
build the house, with outhouses, and
modern conveniences has cost in the
rast enough to make the investment
around $4,000. It has always been
? hard matter to rent a house in
Abbeville for as much as $4,000 per
month. At this amount the rent
only amounts to eight per cent. on
the money invested. But this is not
the true amount which the invest
ment returns, because from it must
be deducted taxes and insurance
then repairs must be made; every
year or so either the roof must be
painted or the house must be paint
ed; from time to time tenants move
way, and the house stands idle for
two or three months, and when the
new tenant comes he is Indifferent
about taking the house, but will
probably consent to do so if all the
walls are gone over, the whole of
the inside painted, the house fumi-
gated, new CRATES put in, new
. bathroom installed upstairs, and
other things, not now thought Of, are
done. And after it is all done, and
he moves in, it is impossible for him
to stay unless the house is screened,
and a building is erected in which
he, can operate a dairy.
Some people will say that in in.
dividual cases the above statement
is an exaggeration of the real facts
about house-letting, but people who
rent houses will recognize most of
the demands as former acquaintan-
ces. The result is that if lumber
and building material should return
to the prices prevalent before the
war, and if labor and other things
should do the same, nevertheless
rents would be increased, because
people may find better investments
than house-building and house-let-
ting, with less trouble connected
with the investment Besides the
cost of building, building material
and of making repairs will not re-
turn to previous prices.
What then must the people who
have been accustomed to rent do?
There are two things to do. One is
that a man who rents must be pre-
pared to pay at least twice what he

For the Freedom Of the
World June 9Th

A great war spectacle thread
ed by a love story that rings true
is For the Freedom of the
World, :" the attraction at the
Jen-Dike Theatre, Jtne 8. This
stirring drama of the battlefelds
of France has been pronounced
by discerning critics the most
fascination and interest-compel-
ling war story every done for the
screen. 1t has never been equal
led, it is said. for spectacular
magnitude.
For the Freedom of the
World" tells the romantic story
of the thousands of brave young
men in the American Legion of
Canada. 1t concerns particular
ly the adventures at camp and in
the field of Gordon Harvey, re-
formed young idler, who wins a
lieutenant's commission and the
hand Of the beautiful Betty Mil
burn before duty calls him to
France.
Betty, distracted at having to
part with her husband, passes
herself off as a nursing sister
and follows him to France, where
another officer of the Legion,
once a SuitOr for her hand re.
veals her presence and her hus-
bands knowledge of it. This,
by general order from head
quarters, means death for them
both-for a soldier is strictly
forbidden to have his wife at the
front.
Rather than allow her to face
death before a firing squad,
Harvey shoots his bride, and as
she falls at his feet rushes out to
fulfil mission he believes means
certain death. Betty, miracul-
ously, has escaped fatal injury,
and Harvey, though terribly
wounded eventually is rescued
from a shell crater under fire by
Ralph Perry, the treacherous
officer who neported him, and
who has been sentenced to death
for another offense.
Harvey wins the Victoria
Cross, and he and his bride,
after many vicissitudes, are re-
stored to happiness. One show
only. 35 and so cents.

OWN YOUR
HOME

Mrs. Annie Nelson Of Tay-
lor deserves special mention
for her efforts and success in
saving which has enabled
her to own a home. Mrs.
Nelson is a careful, method
ical, systematic saver and by
placing her savings on depos-
it in this Bank enabled her
to further accumulate on her
earnings. We mention this
one instance because it is a
home affair, not a news story
from a foreign land. We
also mention this because we
want to impress upon our
people the important matter
of forming the habit of say
ing, not stinting, but intelIi-
gent and systematic saving.
What Mrs. Nelson has done,
we say
Go Thou and do Likewise.

The Snowflake herald., 1918-05-31

Manager Updike of the Jen-
Dixie Theatre, thru his love for
patriotism, in opening each and
every show, puts on such patri-
otic slides as the American flag,
Gen. Pershing's picture with the
Junior Red Cross, President
Wilson, and other slides showing
patriotic scenes. AS these slides
are shown it is perfectly proper
and right that the audience
should applaud, clap their hands,
etc., but when the applause and
hand clapping is kept up while
the slides local advertisers are
being shown it makes the ap-
plause for the patriotic slides ap-
pear as sheer mockery. And,
most of the applause, in fact the
loudest racket wasn't t made by the
kids, either hardly expect
any better of kips. At the show
Tuesday night and as a certain
slide Of a local advertiser was be-
ing shown we heard the gen.
tleman whose adv. it was, say:
IF that's the way my adv. ap-
peals to them showing such dis
respect for the patriotic slides
I'll have my slide taken out. "
To us, it is past understanding
and beyond our power of compre-
hension why people will show
such little sense of appreciation.
And, there were a number of
visitors at the Tuesday night
show, too. We trust that they
will forget it.

Most of our soldier boys are
able to find some fun and frolic in
the daily drag of army life. This
s h o WIS. their eresourcefulness.
Once in a while some soldier boy
gets in bad right from the start.
Once in a while some soldier boy
proves to the world that "A Sol
dier of Fortune" gets all there is
in soldier life-from start to fin
ish. Wit, humor, philosophy,
shell and shot, hellsand death are
taken as they come. We note
that an exchange picks bit of
experience from soldiers first

given as Ralph Jones, u. S. A.,

wrote home the following:
''They took me from my tele-
phone job and put me to digging
bitches, walking marathons till
my feet and hands were sore.
They made me go to bed when
| wasn't sleepy and get up when
| was. They made me go to
church on Sundays whetuer |
wanted to or not. They took
away my good name and gave
me No. 494. In church one Sun
day the good parson sold, in his

Many of our boys have not been
properly disciplined at home.
Fact is, many of them have had
no discipline at all. If this war
does no other good (and all wars
do some good) it will teach many
boys the all Importance of disci-
pline, order, system, loyalty, pat
