A GOOD TOWN

Prof. Edgar Long was down from
Due West yesterday, he brought the
news that the people in that good
town were still peaceful and prosper
Gus. He told us that the old Town
Council went out of office last week,
and that a new set of officers took
the places of those whose terms had
expired. In period of one year
not single infraction of the law had
been charged against anybody. There
had been no fighting, no disorderly
conduct, no swearing (although there
is a printing Office in the town. no
gambling, no turkey-stealing, and no.
body had exceeded the speed-limit.
And Due West has no policeman
either. All of this speaks we'll for
what Capt. Billy Smith was accus-
toned to call the Holy City. Not
many other places, if any, can show
record like this.-Abbeville Press

WARNS PAPERS
OF CONDITIONS
President Glass Says Further Cut in
Newsprint Necessary.

New York, April 21.-Franklin P.
Glass, president of the American
Newspaper Publishers association,
gave warning at the annual conven-
tion today that newspaper publishers
must. make further conservation of
news print paper, if they were not to
have a worse time next fall and win
ter than they + had in the last six
months.
sIt cannot be denied" he said,
"that the publishers themselves were
responsible for yielding to the great
demand for paper, and that they have
created this skyrocket auction mar
ket by bidding against each other by
willingness to take the volume of ad-
vertising offered, no matter how small
the margin of profit, nor should pub
fishers think that the worst is over
that the situation will be cured by
this summers improvement output of
paper, or the new machines coming
into the market
Calling attention to the recommen-
dations of the November convention
for restriction of advertising Mr..
Glass said:
'The acceptance of the whole truth
was not so rapid and general as to
curtail the wild spot market. 1t has
been only in the last two months
that many papers have been forced
by weather and railroad conditions,
as we'll as by pride to see their duty
and to make radical restrictions IN
the volume of advertising"

1t is all right to call off the second
week of the civil court, but that Will
not help materially because since we
have got rid of the Parr Shoals cases
we rarely have a full week OF civil
business REQUIRING a jury. What the

of the Abbeville Press and Banner.
And just to think that Editor Greene
of the Press and Banner and Elder
Hemphill of the Spartanburg Jour
nal had the nerve to suggest that
Erskine college should be moved from
a town like this.
This statement is but further con-
firmation of what we have said all
along that Due West was an ideal
town for college, and as seat OF
learning it has no equal on the globe.
Can you name another town with
such excellent environment and where
the atmosphere for law and order is
so pure as in this good town of Due
West. How could you then even en-
tertain the suggestion that the Frs
kline college should even think for a
moment of changing its location,
even though you should throw mil
lions of dollars into the Golfers? They
could not even compare or stand for
a moment in the balance with such
environment as you admit is to be
found in this town. We know that
Editor Greene would desire that his
son Bill should be educated in just
such an atmosphere as may be found
at Due West, where there is ,rever-
ence for law and order and where
there is respect for the things that
are true and beautiful and Mat
stand for good honest upright citi-
zenship. Only that more of our col
leges and higher institutions of learn
ing were set amid such surroundings
and evironments. 1t would mean
more for the citizenship of our State.
What makes a good town? It is
not numbers, nor wealth nor learn
ing mainly. But the integrity and
the honesty and the manhood and the
womanhood that is true and pure and
that live in the fear of the Lord and
obey and follow His precepts and do
the things which are right. and proper
to be done.

THE COMING MAN.

We don't know anything about it,
and therefore we are possibly best
fitted to express an opinion, but
some time ago we remarked to a
few friends that we did not know
the man and had not seen much Of
him in the newspapers, but somehow
we felt that the coming man foE the
Democrats to put forward at the San
Francisco convention, if they want
ed to win in the national election this
year, is Gov. Cox of Ohio. We no
tice la.ely in the newspapers that ne
is being mentioned prominently as
the strongest man in the Democratic
fold.
We have read few of his speech
es or rather extracts from them, and
he has impressed us as among the
strongest men in the party today.
And a man who can carry the nat
ural Republican state of Ohio three
times in succession for the governor
ship must be considerably above the
ordinary in many respects.
You keep your eye on Cox now
for the next few weeks, and see II
what we say is not in the neighbsr-
hood of correct. He stands square
ly with President Wilson, and you
may say what you please and differ
with the president if yon desire, but
he is the dominating factor in Amerl-
can politics today, and he is going
to be heard from when the proper
time comes, and no man who IS op-
posed to him will stand any chance
of the nomination, and if he should
be nominated will stand a still less
chance of being elected. We are not
a predestinarian in any sense OF the
term, but somehow we just can not
get away from the idea that WOOD
row Wilson is man of destiny, and
was brought forward as the man 10
lead in this crisis in the world DRAMA
and that his ideas and position on
the peace treaty and the league OF
nations is going to be in the end
adopted by the peoples of the world
and that the United States is just as
sure to adopt it as if it were already
done. And the man who does not
agree with the Wilson ideas and doc
trines will stand no shadow OF
chance of winning before the Amerl-
can people, whether he be labelled a
Democrat OF Republican. And the
coming man is Cox of Ohio.

ABBEyILLE LONG AGO.

The Greenwood Index-Journal pub
1ished an article from the Press and
Banner Of May, 1884, which gives
a review of the history of Abbevllie
from 1859 to 1884 as taken from
the files of the paper. Of course the
items are short but some Of them
verv interesting. In fact all OF
them are interesting to some per-
sons. What would interest one may
not interest another, but there VIII
be some one interested in all OF the
items of the long ago.
We have had in mind for some
time of doing the same thing 1or
Newberry. We have the files OF the
newspapers published in this town
hack to 1849 or along about that
time. Our labor for many years
has been so exacting that we have
not had time for this sort of work,
but now that two of the Aull boys
are with us and have relieved US OF
many of the trying parts OF the
newspaper game, we hope to find
time to take up this task. We are
sure by diving into these files we
may be able to find many facts that
are interesting to the people even OF
this busy and material age.
And somehow we feel that it would
be helpful to take the mind off SO
much money making and dwell upon
the great facts of interest in our
own history.
In glancing over one instalment OF
this collection of facts concerning
Abhevi!le of long ago we lind TINS

$4,000. Spire to be 130 feet.
That was in 1859. This church build
ing stands in Abbeville today and the
spire must be the limit set out II
the contract. We never knew thai
the building was erected by a New
berry firm until we read this state
mont.
It is also stated that the population
Of the town of Cokesbury is 74S, o:
whom $50 are colored. The towI

LAWYERS AND OVERALLS

- UlSpdLCu 11O1Il SoAoAioie@ says .
"a rule in effect since January 1886,
requiring lawyers to appear before
the Supreme Court Of South Caro-
lima wearing black coats, has been
suspended until October l, 1920, on
account of overall clubs. At the
request of members of the bar the
Supreme Court suspended the rule
and lawyers may appear in overalls
until October l." There is, of course,
no objection to lawyers appearing in
overalls in the court room, but it
would be much better should they
suspend the courts for a season, and
allow the lawyers to appear in over
alls in the cotton and corn fields of
South Carolina between now and
October 1st.-Spartanburg Journal
The truth is they do not care about
wearing overalls for the purpose for
which overalls were made, and if they
want to help to reduce the high cost
of things they had best get out some
of their old clothes and brush them
up a little and not assist in putting
the price of overalls up so that the
fellow who really needs the overalls
will have to pay extra for these neces-
sites. Or as the Journal suggests
don the overalls and get out Of the
court house into the field or the shop
and help produce something.
