THE TAMBOURINE GIRL.

The Tambourine Girl, Sc typical
of the Salvation Army and its work,
will soon be a memory. Her work
will be finished; and right nobly has
she done this work. No place where
man was wont to sojourn was too
low or degraded for her to visit, and
man. has not been over careful as
to the places he frequented.
She was a familiar figure in the
saloon in that doomed institutions
palmiest days. She seemed to seek
those places which presented only a
degraded aspect and there she left a
touch Of the noblest thing in life
self-sacriice. And she always COM
manded respect. Seldom was there
man so lost to all that was decent
who would offer insult. From the
people who most needed the help
that the Salvation Army had to Of
fer she sought and obtained funds
to give that help and in so doing kept
that institution more closely in
touch with those to whom it reached
down and gave the helping hand.
Her brave face and CHEEKY smile
will be missed.
It is rather remarkable co-inci-
dence that the passing of the saloon
should follow so soon the passing of
the Tambourine , Girl. From the
standpoint of achievement the two
stand for that which is opposite in
life. The first accomplished degra-
dation the second brought uplift.
New methods are to be employed
by the Salvation Army to- sraise nee
essary funds in the future. The
"Home Service Fund" campaign
which will be made May 1926 to
raise s13,000,000 in the United
States will mark the initial effort of
this organization to raise funds by
popular subscription. $4,000 is the
quota for Abbeville: 1t is not neces-
sary to go into the war record of the
Salvation Army or Of its pre-war
work. The people are cognizant of
this work. We believe that it is

WATCH SPARTANBUHG GROW.

The men in Spartanburg will now
be correctly dressed when the Presi-
dent of the United States visits that
city. We say so for the reason that
Major J. C. Hemphill, who trained
the Charleston swells in the art of
wearing correct apparel on import
ant occasions now goes to Spartan
burg to have charge of that matter
there. Incidentally he will be the
editor of the Journal, the afternoon
paper, and "watch Spartanburg
grow"
Spartanburg now becomes "the
most convenient port" to the noun
tain country; Pacolet Creek will
float bigger ships than the James
River; the Chapman Building is
higher than the Washington Monu-
ment; the Cleveland Hotel sweller
than the New Willard; John D.
Rockefeller is. borrowing money
from Mr.. Cleveland; and Newspaper
Magnate Hearon will show William
Randolph Hearst how.

FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1919.
A STATEMENT.

With this issue of the Press and
Banner Mr.. H. G. Clark, formerly
editor of the -Tribune-Herald
of Rome, Georgia, and later editor
of Salem Times-Register Of Salem
Virginia, and who has just recently
been discharged from the army IN
which he was commissioned asa
lieutenant, assumes the position OF
editor and manager of this paper.
Mr.. Clark is native of Virginia, a
graduate of Hampden-Sidney Col
lege, a newspaper man of expert
ence, and he will make the Press
and Banner a better paper. than it
has ever been. It is for this pur-
pose that he has been employed. The
growth of the paper and the rights
of the patrons demand that we give
them more and better service than
we have heretofore given them. We
have learned that the running of a
county paper is an eigh-hour-day
Job for even a man who loves to
work. .,
As editor of the paper for the past
four years I have found great
deal of pleasure in the work. have
come in contact with the editors Of
the state and have learned to know
and appreciate them as would never
have done, perhaps, had I not had
this experience. Without experience
as newspaper man, but desiring to
serve the public Of Abbeville Coun-
ty, and with no ulterior purpose of
my own, I have done what I could
to make the Press and Banner a
worthwhile newspaper. 4 have
sought to make it have opinions and
to express them whether anybody
agreed with them or not. I regret
now to give up the work, but the
demands of a profession to which I
am attached, tand which I am better
prepared to follow, make it neces-
sary that do so.
The Press and Banner will con-
tinue to work for what its editor be-
lieves to be for the best interests of
the community and the people whom
it serves. The editor will have his
own views, and will conduct the
paper without interference from the
owners. He will be responsible for
his views to the public and his own
conscience.

"IN HIS OWN BRIAR PATCH" I"

The above caption is Gifted"
from the Columbia State, anent
Major J. C. Hemphill, who again
enters the newspaper field in South
Carolina as editor of the Spartan
burg Journal. The State says:
"Through the columns of the Spar
taaburg Journal, Major ]. c. Hemp
hill will do a work for Spartanburg
and the region roundabout similar to
that invaluable service which he per-
formed for Charleston through The
News and Courier. No pen could be
enlisted for the Piedmont districts
of South Carolina that would do
more for their development and
progress than his, if so much, and
there is no journalist who knows
them and their people better or
loves them more. There will be no
eight Of ten hour day in the labor
which he will give to bring their re-
sources and their virtues to atten-
ton and it will be labor Of unfag-
ging enthusiasm. g..
Almost it would be presumptuous
TO sneak to South Carolinians of
Major Hemphill's distinguished tai
ents as an editor. He long ago prov
ed the possession Of rare art OF
catching their interest and holding it
from day to day and year to year, so
that unconsciously many Of them fell
into habit Of Hemphill-editorial
reading, and to it a great many peo-
pie, outside Of as well as in Spartan
burg, will return, taking it up gladly
and naturally, just where they left
off few year ago. Native to the
manner of the Red Hills and long
enough resident in Charleston to
be at home in that city, he is well
educated South Carolinian.
"Brer Rabbit" is back to his brier
patch and there will be something
doing among the varmints. eve"
expect to be pestered good deal by
him, wherefore we shall be the more
comfortable. Verify, we are but one
of thousands who these nine years
have missed him every day and who,
from now on, will set watch on his
perversities. -
Spartanburg will have strong,
clear voice that carries far and that
will never be mistaken for any other
than Major Hemphill's."

THE RECKLESS EXTRAVA-
GANcE OF THE POOR MAN

- Governor Cooper in his address to
the Supervisors Convention in Co.
Iumbia last week, advocated the
spending of twenty millions of dol
liars each year for ten years in the
construction of good roads in South
Carolina. The expenditure of this
amount would have the merit of fur
nishing enough money to build suf-
ficient roads to be worth while. If
we are to go into water over our
heads we believe in being game
about it,
The Governor says that if he had
advocated this measure six years ago
the people would have believed him
insane. Considering the fact that
the proposed expenditure would
amount to two hundred millions of
dollars, while the assessed value of
all property in the state is about two
hundred and seventy millions, and
that, therefore, the taxpayers would
in ten years pay into the treasury
for the building of roads about eihgty
per cent of the amount of the value
-
as now placed on all property for
taxes, we shall not be surprised if
the Governor finds that the people
have not changed their minds much
In the matter Of lunatics. Governor
Cooper though has as much right to
lead a crowd Of these ntoartunates
~ any other man in tho state.
